This letter is support of the work that was done at 8230 SW Glencreek Court, Portland, OR 97223. Starting with the estimate done by Cornel Plumbing, I felt confident that I was in the best of working hands. The estimate was fair and I was not charged for it. Everything was explained thoroughly to both my wife and…
Joe was a lifesaver! I don’t know what we would have done without his expertise & problem solving skills! I was changing a dripping faucet and - long story short - a corroded pipe & fixture left me stuck with the whole house water off & no way to turn it back on without flooding the house. Joe came immediately and…
