AVOID this company!!! On THREE separate occasions, including today, Hoffman Brothers has scheduled and confirmed service appts with me and then NOT SHOWN UP (no call, nothing, just me waiting and waiting and no one ever shows up). Two of those three times, I was later told I was never on the schedule despite…

Dirk showed up on time. Was very pleasant and professional. He came out to repair and/or replace three different issues. Toilet leak. Outdoor faucet was leaking and spraying when we used it. And my garbage disposal died and could not be revived so he replaced it with a new one. He did an awesome job and was very thorough. Great job!

Matt took an object from the disposal. Sure better (and more cost effective) than having to get a new unit.

The repair man was out of the disposal system that was needed & called to have one sent over while he removed the old one. It only took him about 5 minutes to do that & then waited for the new one to arrive, which was about 45 minutes. After installing the new one, he checked to make sure it was working properly. Very happy that it did.

Tom was great. How showed up, figured out the problem, and offered an effective solution. He even knocked down the price a bit when he got into the pipes and realized he didn't have to do some extra work. Tom was friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend him.

Steve and everyone else at Hoffman have been nothing short of professional. Fast service, extremely courteous, and very knowledgeable of the issues at hand. I didn’t even know they offered so many additional services, but I will 100% use them for almost anything around my house from here on out. Thank you.
