Ron and the team did an exceptional job repiping the entire house, installing a new water heater, new pedestal sink, and new toilet with minimal drywall cutting based on a clever strategy no one else suggested. Ron is great and extremely knowledgeable.

I'm truly happy that I called M.D. Plumbing & Mechanical. Matt showed up approx 1 hour after my call. He was very responsive, efficient, knowledgeable/proficient, and very pleasant. I very much appreciate the work done ... and feel it is worth every penny. Matt did a great job explaining the issues we had and options for resolving them.

Matthew and Zach came by my house to fix my garbage disposal 2 months ago! I remember their service since then! They are so kind and answered all my questions and gave me all my options. I had to replace it and they did a good job installing the new disposal. They are very neat and organized and I cleaned up…

MD Plumbing, Travis and Jaqi in particular were very helpful in repairing a nicked pipe in our yard. They paid close attention to detail and have been in contact since (as it’s been an ongoing issue to have the person responsible for the nicked pipe pay for the damages done).
