Very prompt and high quality of service. I have a tankless unit that had been noisy since originally installed. He quickly identified the problem, ordered the part and replaced the defective part within a week. I am delighted with the results!!

Awesome experience. I found out on the weekend that my water heater was leaking. My neighbor recommended Tim with Hometown Plumbing and Septic. Called him up. He came out within a few hours and replaced my water heater. Did a great job. Price was fair. Highly recommend him.
