Exceeded expectations. Excellent job! Explained everything well, provided options and even went a step further to provide additional information……
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.…
We love Cornel’s! They were able to fit us in same day for a surprise water heater flood situation. Zac was very knowledge and assessed our interesting system setup with grace and guided us through next steps. Water emergencies aren’t fun but Cornel Plumbing (and Zac) made us feel at ease and fixed the issue. Highly recommend!
Brendon was very professional and informative.
Brenden was really friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all our questions. Got the work done a lot faster than we expected too.
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.
We had been having hot water issues. Brenden came out to the house to take a look at our water heater. He was able to provide a short term solution, while identifying and explaining several possible issues and recommended upgrades/repairs. He was prompt, friendly; professional, and did not try to give us the hard sell.
Great service, communicated arival time estimates and gave us our options up front. Andrew was very friendly to work with. Would schedule with Cornel's Plumbing again if we have a future need.

Alex Dietz was here 2 times and was wonderful to work with. He accommodated some changes and was extremely helpful in setting me up to not have the problem again. I would highly recommend him. The office was also accommodating and helpful.
Brendan was super helpful in answering our plumbing questions and giving us peace of mind. Highly recommend for friendly, thorough service. Eric did an amazing job clearing our slow flowing shower drain. He made it a pleasant experience with his cheery disposition and my puppy loved home, too. 💕
Good honest feedback.
Pleasant , willing to work with us to do only what we wanted. Looks much better now. And doesn’t leak!
I called to have our new on demand water heater evaluated for the extended time it took for the hot water to flow. I had to cancel my first appointment on short notice, and was easily able to schedule for another time this week. My Tech Brenden was on time, with great communication updates. He thoroughly…
Brenden was great and I appreciate his honesty. I appreciate how quickly he resolved my issue. I was completely satisfied with excellent service.
Woke up with cold water and ended up with a blessing! Brendan called ahead, was super respectful of our property, explained our gas water heater and how to make simple fixes our selves since this is new for our family. He showed us how to quickly view the flame and where to feel for hot water in the pipe. He…
Fast service and on time. Brendan was great! Answered all my questions and gave me clear options. Highly recommend.
Brendon was great, came and got the job done quickly. Gave great advice for the solution that best worked for me. Would absolutely use again
Brenden saved our bacon! Another outfit told us that water heater elements were fried and we’d have to replace. Brenden was courteous, and patient in explaining what he was going to do, and then explaining what he uncovered in his analysis. Turns out that the device did not need replacing, and a simple service has…

Our hot water heater broke suddenly last night. Jake at Cornel came quickly, fixed the issue, showed us how to troubleshoot for next time, and helped us figure out how to save money. He was very friendly and explained what he was doing in an easy to understand way. After running some quick numbers, we ended up…
Juan was extremely helpful and provided great service to us, not only in breaking down costs but also helping to understand how the system works. He was honest and knowledgeable, and would be a great contact to ask for

Brendan did a great job instantly identifying the source of the problem and remedying it. Very pleasant and positive interaction.
Quick reply and friendly service.
Brenden was really great. He came on time and was very helpful.

He detected water in our crawl space which we addressed separately. He carefully explained the risks and offered multiple…
Jake did a good job. He is very knowledgeable and patient, provided excellent explanations for everything, and offered the best options based on my situation. I really appreciate him!
Jake was punctual and respectful. He had a good knowledge of the situation and answered all of my questions. Really nice experience in a stressful situation for me.
Matthew Flock was professional and efficient in the work he did. When he shared with us what he had done, he was easy to understand. I would definitely want him to come in any time we need a plumber
Jake was awesome and helped diagnose our hot water issues in the home that we have been dealing with for the past 1 year. We had had 2 different plumbers come by and try to find the issue, to no avail. Thanks Jake!
Vinny was fabulous! Knowledgeable, polite and very professional. We will request Vinny on our next service call for sure! -Sandy R.
Had a great experience, they were super responsive and I was able to speak with someone on a Sunday afternoon to get scheduled for a Monday morning. Zac was AMAZING! Kind, helpful, and most importantly honest. I didn't end up needing their services but my interactions with Zac have cemented them as my go - to for anything Plumbing related.
Our water heater shut off during a roof repair, and Cornel’s was able to send someone out two hours after I called. Jake was thorough in checking things out and was very informative about our options. Actual fix was very quick!
Thomas did a fantastic job, I was impressed with his communication, timeliness and knowledge about what needed to be done. Everything went very smoothly.
I can’t say enough good things about the great experience I had with Jeff C and his team at Cornel’s. Communication was excellent throughout the process of diagnosing and repairing my furnace. The work was done professionally and on time and I was clear on the issues, options and cost for the repairs. This is the…
We had a hot water tankless heater problem and Vinnie G resolved it quickly and efficiently!
I had my water heater replaced the same day I called them after my 19 years old heater stopped working. Prompt reply, professional technician, friendly and knowledgeable. The price was pretty good too. Highly recommended.
Too expensive. $198 to light a pilot. Time to light… about one minute. On the plus side it was same day service.
Jake and Justin came out in less than 24 hours after my service request and when it was determined I needed a new water heater they were able to complete the replacement while on site same day. Great communication and fantastic response time.
