Ellis was fabulous. I was having a day full of problems and he was so calm and patient with me. Knowledgeable and quick with hos work.
Josh was very knowledgeable and helpful!
This was the very best experience I've had in 20 years with a plumbing contractor or any contractor for that matter. Jason was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Communication and promptness was excellent. He upgraded my leaky toilet to a new and increased height model and also spent extra time to ensure…
Very professional and worked until he found the problem that was causing low water pressure.
Travis Harris installed completed all of his work items in good time. Thank you to Travis and everyone at Michael and Son for completing this work so quickly and efficiently.
Great service from Michael & Son! I’ve used them for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work and have always had a positive experience. Their technicians are professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and show up when expected. They take the time to explain the work, answer questions, and make sure everything is done…
Lawrence did a great job and quoted a reasonable price for the service
Petey did a great job and was very respectful.
The repairman went over and above to get all of my plumbing needs addressed! Thank you 😊
Bryan Sanders performed an exemplary repair of my plumbing issues, and as a result, the residence is now operating at optimal performance.
Thomas was phenomenal and explained all the issues throughly. He started the work and gave me timely updates. I appreciated the 2 estimates he presented and ultimately I wanted to get all of the work done for peace of mind.
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.
Juan Castillo was very professional when arrived. He came to replace our toilet upstairs. He replaced the two downstairs back in March 2026. We loved it so much we asked him to come back with the 3rd replacement. He is the Best! You have such employees. Especially Juan he cares.
Thomas was great! Friendly and very efficient.
I scheduled an appointment as part of my plumbing maintenance plan. Yovan came out for a diagnostic and identified a few problems. He scheduled a follow up visit and was able to resolve the issues in a timely manner. I highly recommend getting their maintenance plan, which is affordable and necessary.
Jason was wonderful! I had quite a few plumbing things that needed repairs (and quite a few things were more complicated than it looked), and he completed everything efficiently and with a smile. So happy to everything functional in the house and to know that it was installed with care!
Jim came to replace our kitchen disposer. It was old and had clogged up. He came in and got right to work. He was very organized and took great care to keep the work area neat and clean. He finished the job in a timely manner and was a delight to be around with a great personality. Our hound dog thought he was the…
Excellent service. Reliable and prompt. Offers multiple alternatives for replacement and repair.
Thanks Jason for a great job installing 3 new toilets. Very pleased with your recommendation.
I had Josh out for a replacement toilet, water shut off valve and new water pressure regulator, and he was fantastic. Josh is personable and friendly and explains everything well. He worked very efficiently and is a great representation of Michael and Sons. Especially with water, it is great to have someone who can…
Super job walking me through the repairs and replacements. Great job on the actual work too.
Highly satisfied and would recommend. Very thorough and explained issues with recommended fixes. Knowledgeable and friendly. Have had multiple repairs and installations by this tech and highly satisfied.
We continue to have a great experience with Michael & Son for both plumbing, electric, and HVAC. Service is always reliable and organized.
Great job Jacob! He gave me options and explained clearly what needed to happen. I was very satisfied with his service😉
Visit for toilet replacement because of a toilet replacement because of a leak. Arrived on time as scheduled. Completed work in prompt fashion and explained along the way what he was doing and why. Included pictures.
It was a delight to have Jim working on our issues- a broken garbage disposal and an old malfunctioning commode. He was knowledgeable and efficient. He outlined multiple options and discussed all the pros and cons with me. We ended up replacing both with top quality products!
Had an after hours emergency. The technician on call responded quickly. Adam Robinson was the technician on call and solved our problem. He was very professional & extremely pleasant. I would definitely call him again. Adam had to come back this morning to install a new toilet. And was just as pleasant as he was last night. We appreciate his hard work.
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.
Excellent service as usual. Ian explained and demonstrated in detail my issue and gave me options. I appreciate how Michael's always sends people who wear booties, clothes and now masks
Cameron was very easy to work with. He was always on time and did his work efficiently and completely. I was very happy with the service I received.
Michael & Son Services diagnosed a puzzling problem with our septic system and toilets quickly, professionally and accurately - three other companies have previously tried to help us. We are so impressed with finally getting a solution - Lawrence, our technician, did a fantastic job at opening the clogged line,…
Great and personal service! Travis was friendly and helpful!
Peter was amazing! Super communicative, polite, and professional. And definitely a cutie! Not at all the stereotypical plumber you’d expect!
Exceptional service
Andrew provided great service as he replaced toilet and water heater parts! Many thanks for a job well done!
We have used Michael & Sons for a number of projects over the last 15 years. Always quality work that keeps our home up and running. Their tech Nick helped us out with a water pressure issue this last week. Within minutes Nick had the issue diagnosed and was able to get the part replaced. Great work! Quality Work!…
Ryan was very professional and straightforward. He explain the problem that I was experiencing and what it took to address the issue at hand. My new toilet works great.
Sean Dunbar was great. Checked out our HVAC system and showed us several plans. Explained each system and their functions. We were happy with our choice. Sean made arrangements for our new install. Will continue to use Michael's and Sons for our Plumbing and HVAC services.
