Nobody likes moving into a house they just bought and finding a burst main water line or shower draining troubles. Unfortunately we did, but the team at Cornell’s (specifically Juan, John, Eric and Kyle) all came to our rescue and fixed all issues as economically and logistically efficiently as was possible under…
Competent, efficient, proficient, friendly, good listener, willing to discuss/answer my questions. Professional demeanor.
The review is purely due to price. I had a leak in the upstairs shower showing up downstairs, the shower drain simply had to be replaced. Drywall from the ceiling of the downstairs was cut out to access the bottom of the shower drain and a new drain installed. Four screws, some plummers putty and new drain. I have…
Outstanding service!
Alex was very very helpful , he explained everything I needed did an awesome job! Definitely using this company for future plumbing issues.
Alex diagnosed a problem with our shower and gave us the information that we need plan for a replacement.
Juan Segundo was the technician who came over and helped us with our issues. He gave us such great advice on preventative steps regarding our pipes. He was super kind and easy going. Highly recommend using this service.
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
Juan from Cornel came to fix shower that had been poorly installed. He was great at explaining the issue offering potential solutions and following up. He even found and fixed some additional issues beyond the reason we had called. Highly recommend.
Eric came to unplug our bath tub and ended up checking all of our plumbing to make sure everything was working well! He was our kids' hero today and all 3 are still talking about him!
Eric was amazing! He came on an urgent clog for our shower and fixed it quickly and even checked the pipes underneath our house to be sure everything looked ok. He was especially kind to our curious kiddos! Thank you, Eric!
Andrew was very personable, knowledge, did the job and explained it to us and showed us the damaged parts.
James was our technician and he was absolutely wonderful. He gave us the education, knowledge and informational tools to be able to fix the issue in our own. He did the extra research needed to get the right parts ourselves along with tips and tricks to ensure proper installation. Most companies want to push work…
Judah was very knowledgable and patient explaining the language of plumbing to me after some issues with a repipe. Highly recommend.
James P. Saved our bacon with his professionalism and skill. Our shower control valve wasn't working and we were unable to regulate the water temperature - not ideal. He quickly identified the problem and came up with a solution. We appreciated his great attitude, excellent communication at every step, and…
Juan was extremely helpful helping me understand what was wrong with outdated pressure valve and cost effective ideas to fix it. I am a veteran and so greatful for their expertise, honesty and willingness to work with me and my family! Thank you Juan!
Thank you to Evian, Baxter, and Ben K for completing my project! From beginning to end, our experience with Cornel’s Plumbing was amazing. We have a 1953 home with a lot of 'DIY' history and original galvanized steel pipes, so we expected some major hurdles. Evian, Baxter, and Ben K. handled the entire…
Brenden was a pleasure to work with and great help with our shower. He offered alternate recommendations where he could to meet our needs while saving us money and was thorough in his outlining of benefits and drawbacks to each. Would love to work with him again.
Brenden was excellent in taking care of our shower:plumbing issue on a very notice.
Eric was super quick in unclogging our drain, showed me the issue, and was super personable. He was also great about putting boot covers on to keep our floor nice and clean while he worked. Fast, friendly, efficient…I would definitely have him back to fix any future plumbing problems. Thanks Cornell’s!
Brendan was awesome!
Once again Joe was so helpful! He walked us through everything and was professional and efficient. Really appreciate his service!!
I had a kitchen drain pipe fail in a very tight crawlspace. But you know who absolutely DIDN'T fail? Baxter and the awesome team at Cornel's. Not only is my plumbing fixed, they made sure I had everything I need for an insurance claim. Thank you so much for being good people who do a great job.
Zac and Baxter are both very friendly and professional. Zac quickly diagnosed the issue and once the part came in, Baxter completed the repair. I highly recommend Cornell for their communication, professionalism, and knowledge.
I have nothing but good things to say about this company! I had an issue with the hot water in the shower and another company couldn't figure out what was wrong and recommended replacing the entire shower valve (a very expensive repair). I'm so glad I called Joe and Brenden for a second opinion. Joe was able to…
These guys have been so helpful the past couple years. From a hot water tank fail and replacement to minor service repairs, they’ve done it all for us and caught unknown issues that could have been worse. They always come out quickly and are friendly and professional - especially Juan. Highly recommend!
We recently had our house replumbed by Cornel Plumbing. They did a great job. They were professional and nice. We had a few things that didn't get done and they came right out and fixed it! The only thing that I would have liked better was a more detailed estimate in writing. It seemed like we talked about…
The technician was efficient and friendly. It was great to get the issue resolved so quickly!
Thanks to Abbi, Megan, Jake and Jordan for diagnosing and repairing our tub/shower fixture. We had scheduled a repair service date in the near future but became concerned that the problem was getting worse. Abbi and Megan quickly connected with Jake and Jordan, who volunteered to show up same day at the end of their…
Justin & Alex with Cornel’s Plumbing were great! On multiple occasions during our bathroom remodel, we were able to schedule appts at the last minute and they were always professional, on time & knowledgeable about the work being done…and did great work! We will definitely use them again!
Very transparent about pricing BEFORE the work is done. Honest about the real issue and ensures that the fix is done the correct way. If I have any new issues, I will definitely be contacting Cornel’s.
Cornel’s Plumbing is top notch and has always provided highly responsive, professional services. Their staff is very knowledgeable and always on time!
