I've used Shawn twice now, first was an emergency pipe freeze in January on a Saturday night, he tried literally everything he could do before I needed to call a thaw service, I really appreciated the dedication. He's also done routine fixes for both my heating system and plumbing and was efficient and knowledgeable. He's my go-to plumber.
Scheduled for the next day for small job. Showed up within the two hour window and had it done in an hour.
When was the last time you made an after-hours, emergency (no heat) first-time phone call to a provider that pulled off the road, looked at text pictures, and talked you through restoring heat? This is the best experience I've ever had with a plumbing and heating specialist.
Great service from Shawn and his son. They were on time, courteous, and took the time to talk me through what they saw and what they were thinking for a repair. Thanks for taking care of house.
