Fast, polite, complete, pro
Brenden was very professional and was quick to diagnose plumbing issues that we were experiencing. I would highly recommend Cornel's and Brenden.
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.
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…
Great experience. Brandon was super helpful and friendly. Explained everything really well and gave good advice about maintenance. Really happy with my experience.
Had my house completely repiped, new waterline installed and some drainage issue repaired. Trey was very courteous and professional while completing my many plumbing issues. He communicated well, kept me informed and answered all my questions. Very respectful.
Another update about our experience with Cornel's...Exceptional experience...a complicated emergency repair that took several days, and an HOA. Baxter, our plumber did everything he could to take care of us. Thank you Baxter, thank you Cornel's! Fast and efficient service mixed with a friendly office and work crew.…
This company is very organized and professional. And they got me scheduled very fast and helped with my plumbing issue.
Brenden was fantastic! He arrived right on time and was professional yet easy to talk to throughout the job. He walked me through all my options for fixing the problem before starting, so I knew exactly what I was paying for. The work itself was fast and done perfectly — no callbacks, no issues. Next time we need…
Great service provided by Eric
They are available! They showed up quickly and answered all our questions. They gave us the good and bad, and did our repairs quickly.
Techs (Juan and Chad) where very professional and got right work and finished in short order.
Excellent service! Brenden went the extra mile to remove and replace some very old, stubborn parts for my bathroom sink.
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.
Brenden came out, quickly diagnosed our issue which we’d been unable to locate the source of for months. He was able to make the repair the same day and restore our plumbing system.
Eric is amazing- very professional, explained what was going on and how it would be fixed, and then fixed it. Thanks.
Jordan came out from Cornell’s plumbing and performed quick, professional work on our leaking tub. He was a pleasure to work with and would recommend him and Cornell’s for your plumbing needs
Brendan was fast, friendly and extremely knowledgeable!
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…
Colby properly diagnosed the problem with our toilet and repaired it quickly. Colby was friendly yet professional. In addition to fixing our toilet, he provided us with advice regarding the water meter box and main line that could save us thousands of dollars. We have used Cornel Plumbing in the past and will definitely use them again in the future.
About 2 weeks ago I left a review about the wonderful job Cornel did with our AC unit replacement when it died. A week later we noticed an awful smell in the crawlspace. Turned out we had the kitchen main line pipe crack and, well, let’s just say it was gross. We called Cornel again and they were able to get someone…
Brenden was so efficient and professional!
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!
We had a great experience with Cornel. Brendan was professional and explained the issue well. Would recommend them to others and plan on using them again.
James came as scheduled to give me an estimate and diagnose a plumbing problem. He was honest, easy to talk to and knowledgable.
Alex was very very helpful , he explained everything I needed did an awesome job! Definitely using this company for future plumbing issues.
Brenden was incredibly kind and gave us a really good analysis of what exactly should be done to address some of our plumbing concerns. We will definitely be using Cornel’s and Brenden for additional services!
Our main shut off valve broke and we were without water overnight. We called Cornel’s and they sent Juan out the next day. Juan was amazing in replacing our main water shut off valve! He took time to explain everything and to make sure we understood the new system! He had our water back on within a few hours. Friendly, fast and thorough. Thank you!
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.
Thank you to Matt Flock, what an awesome Plumbing Tech. We the Garcia Family where very please with the help of your service under the sink. You saved the day for us. Great company we recommend this company.
Eric was polite and efficient. He described the benefits of getting a membership with Cornell’s and helped to save us some money in the future!
Eric was great! He was able to quickly check out our drains and provide recommendations.
Eric was great! Came out and provided an incredible amount of knowledge to help our decision making process. Cornel’s promptly responded to our request and send the right folks to evaluate our needs.
Eric and Alex were excellent partners in diagnosing issues and determining the proper next steps. Great communication, transparent pricing, and made sure to instill trust and confidence in my choice to work with them!
Eric was great, didn't try to upset, got the work done, and was honest about what needed replacement and what didn't. Been doing business with Cornels for a few years now, and the quality of work, the honesty, the dedication to customers, is better than any other plumbing service we could ask for.
They did a good job replumbing my whole home in a good timeframe. The initial inspection missed a key detail which increased the price, but it was still a good price for the work they did, and they were flexible and willing to add a few extra things to make up for it
Incredible service! Juan S. was extremely professional and took his time to explain everything to me. He fixed my leak issue very quickly and I’m very grateful for his assistance. Quick booking with the company, called ahead of time and arrived right when they said they would. Thank you!!
