James came to inspect our garbage disposal. He was able to quickly and accurately assess the situation and provided an easy fix that solved the problem. James was prompt, personable, and highly competent. What more can you ask for? Odds are I will have another plumbing problem, someday, and I hope that James will be available to come.

Jake was amazing. After getting our new kitchen counters, we discovered the company that put them in didn’t reinstall plumbing. After failing to do it ourselves, Cornell was able to come out the next day and reattach everything, update our pipes and hardwire the new disposal. He was fast, friendly and all pricing was upfront.

Cornel's Plumbing was amazing today. Earnest, Nathan & Trey came out to replace our kitchen drain pipes. They replaced the pipes with better, more efficient piping & in better order then the original pipes were. Earnest helped us put together an entire team Cornel's Plumbing, Drytime Restoration & Minute Man…
