Not only was this company the most competitive in their pricing, their staff did exceptional work. Their technician that installed my water heater did a great job. When he was finished I mentioned that I had forgotten to ask him about some tarnishing on the bolts of the previous one, as I was told this could be an…

Kevin and Nick from Price Busters Plumbing are absolutely outstanding both in their technical skills and customer service. Our hot water heater went out and we are currently facing freezing temperatures, so that compound the problem. This project was a relatively large one because of the complex system we had prior.…

Update: After checking with other companies, Price Busters came out sooo less expensive for exactly the same work estimated by others to reline my sewer line. Their estimator came back (this was 6 months later), did a thorough assessment and came back with an even lower estimate than 6 months prior. This was a…

Could not recommend this company more! We came home from work to find our water heater had burst! Thankfully they were able to come out right away and didn’t charge us an arm and a leg. The service crew was so incredibly friendly and worked so quick! We’ll definitely be calling Price Busters for any and all plumbing issues we have in the future!
