Had them do a plumbing inspection, and discovered our water pressure was really low! An hour later, it feels like taking a shower at a 5 star hotel! Very professional and trustworthy.

Angel, Michael & Sons, & all employees are spectacular. Always professional, respectful, courteous, prompt (sometimes previous clients, same day, run long but generally arrive as promised). Leaky old toilet. Needed new toilet anyway, so toilet replaced in a timely manner. Have been a client since 8/2019.

We always have such a wonderful experience using Michael and Son. Today Brayan came to replace a toilet and he went above and beyond. He was extremely polite, knowledgeable, gave me all of my options, was upfront about cost, and answered all of my questions. I will continue to use Michael and Sons!
