Came out same day and fixed the emergency as well as looked at a couple of niggling things that we’ve been dealing with since we moved in.
Brendan came out to check for a leak, very courteous and explained things well
Juan gave me excellent advice about my Plumbing and especially about my water pressure. He communicated clearly and always had my best interest in mind in making recommendations.
Zac H. was very professional in locating my plumbing and sewer problems. He was also extremely kind, supportive and comforting in helping me decide on what my best options were, and helping to work out financing. I would definitely recommend Cornel's Plumbing and Zac to friends and family.
Eric was absolutely amazing. He was polite, respectful, and professional in both knowledge and workmanship. I can’t say enough about how grateful and pleased I was with Eric and his service. Recommend with highest regards.
Very thorough in his inspection and explained it well. We were able to make an informed decision. And hope to be happy once the repair jobs are completed. Thank you.
David and Adrian were great. They were able to call in help the same day to get the job done for less cost and in less time than estimated. Very satisfied with their work and professionalism.
Jake was an absolute dream to work with in a hard situation and was patient with all our questions. He was considerate and clean when working in the house. The work was done promptly and has passed inspection. The team returned to backfill the trenches and replant the flowers that needed to be removed at the time…

Another update about our experience with Cornel's...Exceptional experience...a complicated emergency repair that took several days, and an HOA.

Eric was super thorough and knowledgeable!
Brendan analyzed issue and gave great option to fix issue
We had an issue where our garbage disposal caused some vibrations in our bathroom sink. Worried about structural issues with the pipes. Adrian came over, crawled into our crawl space and verified that everything was ok and that the vibration was not dangerous. Great service from the guy. No inspection service fee…
Techs (Juan and Chad) where very professional and got right work and finished in short order.
Eric was fantastic! He came and thorough look at everything needed after our toilet flooded our house while we were away for the weekend. Quick and efficient
Met Judah today for a water line leak and he was great. I work with trade folks a lot because of my line of work and he is the kind of guy I try to “collect.” Knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to work with, a real salt of the earth kind of guy. Couldn’t recommend him more.
Great service, very fast response time. Brenden did a great job at fixing the problem, I'm happy with everything. Thank you!
We had a stellar experience working with James and Cornel’s. Right from the moment I called they were helpful and able to dispatch someone right away. James was right on time and he was able to find the problem and fix it in the quickest most affordable way. He took the time to explain the issue and our various…
Zac helped us with a leaky bathtub faucet today. He was incredibly kind, respectful, and thorough as he worked at my home. He showed up right on time, performed an overall assessment of our plumbing issues, and then addressed the immediate concern of the leaky faucet. He gave me two options to fix the leak and did…
Eric was amazing. He was personable, professional, and quick. He walked us through our job and when it turned out to be more complicated than we thought he pivoted and handled it with grace. Would highly recommend and want Eric for all our repairs going forward.
Eric Buckner was on time for our plumbing crisis. He is very knowledgeable and quick to act. We were pleased to have someone who takes pride in his work and seems to really care about his customers!
Juan was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and figured out the leak was on the city side of our property. No payment needed.
Not only did Cornel’s Plumbing fit us in in under 24 hours, they sent the BEST technician, Eric. I’m not a morning person, but Eric completely made my morning, as he was so respectful of our property while he worked, clear in his communications, keeping us updated during the whole process, and extremely professional…
Alex was very very helpful , he explained everything I needed did an awesome job! Definitely using this company for future plumbing issues.
Brendan came out and diagnosed the problem! Very helpful!
Brenden arrived on time to my tenant’s home where I met him. We gained access to basement where he took a look at sump pump and discovered pump was functioning but not the float that switches it on/off. He replaced and instructed me on annual maintenance. He was as kind as anyone and I will ask for him in future.…
James came out to check out a leak we had. He was very professional, and quickly determined the problem and was able to repair the problem during the initial evaluation. He was great to have do our work.

Brendan was super informative and kind. Got to a quick diagnosis.
I needed an estimate on work that I needed to get done. Jordan came out and checked everything out and worked with Josh to get me a price I could afford. He was very friendly and helped me a get a good price. Once I got a price, I had Ed and Adrian come out. Ed, is the HVAC specialist and he had to reroute a…

Eric was very professional and thorough in analyzing and explaining our problems and options for addressing them. While the process is stressful, I felt that he was doing what he could to make it as easy as possible for us.
Brenden the technician who came to my home was amazing! Friendly, polite and professional and did great work. I will not, however, be using Cornel’s service any longer due to their high pricing and inability to get a hold of anybody who calls me. I continually had someone named Amber calling me several times a day…
Your team was totally Awesome, respectful and polite and very knowledgeable. Thank u for doing an Amazing job.
Quick, efficient communication. Respectful of the house and they did a good job. Would use their services again.
Kevin did an outstanding job and was very honest with us and up front about the repair costs for leaking pipes under kitchen sink and basement sink having issues with not properly letting cold water run with the faucet. We would use Cornels Plumbing again and highly recommend a family owned business and not…
Eric was awesome with his service today. No pressure, explained all of our options, then got busy and fixed our issues quickly! 10 stars. We'll use Cornels Plumbing from now on.
