I had a small faucet leak that turned out to be nothing, but I was also in need of a replacement emergency shut off valve, and Zach Crum replaced both hot and cold water shutoffs. He was polite, friendly, thorough, and very professional.

Halco has some excellent technicians. Dan and Eric are among them. Dan is obviously a master plumber. This time the job was relatively small, but they did it efficiently and Cheerfuly.
