The Karlsen Plumbing service arrived on time (instead of my having to wait, wait, wait, ...), worked quickly and efficiently, explained the problem, fixed the problem, and told me how to deal with it should it happen again. Then, they cleaned up everything so there was no mess for me to deal with!

Karlsen took care of the human factors part of several complicated issues in addition to get the plumbing work done. They are patient & understanding with customers who are not subject matter experts. They are easy to reach, responsive when it really counts, pick up the phone, and keep notes on customer details.…
