Michael & Son has been good to us. Their electrician, Andrew has been very helpful to us as we navigate a remodel and adapt an older house to our needs. He is knowledgeable, explains everything in terms I understand, and helps us find the best solution for our needs and budget.

This is the second time I've used Michael & Son for plumbing needs. Ryne did a wonderful job explaining my options. I appreciated having different options in terms of the level of service to choose from. I feel the price was worth the service and I have peace of mind the work done was high quality.

I’ve used Michael and Son for a number of plumbing issues over the past five years from major bathroom leak to new toilet and pipe installation to the latest clogged toilet. Each technician brought their strengths to the job and my issues have been resolved to my satisfaction. I’ve recommended them to my real estate clients because I trust their work.

I call Michael & Son for my shower repair. They charge 60$ for visit where as most of the others charge $0 for visit and for providing estimates/quotes. I pay them, and the guy shows up, inspects and says he cannot fix it the shower/bathtub. No quote for complete replacement and then when I call the company asking…
