Northstar Plumbing is awesome! We've called them multiple times for various reasons over the last few years (replacing sump pump, installing garbage disposal, stopping water leak from refrigerator etc) and they will without question be the first place I call in the future. Wonderful, friendly staff who are competent and get the job done!

The guys at Northstar plumbing are always great to work with. They are quick to respond and very professional. Have called them for emergency sump pump issues and water heater issues in the past. They have become my go-to company.

Moving into an older home we experienced several plumbing issues. North Star and the crews sent out were quick to respond with solutions to any issue or service we had done. They were clean, courteous and professional. We will call them again if a need arises.
