I’ve used Shawn and Shawn Jr. on 3 separate occasions now. First was to install some strainers in a new countertop/sink setup, and a water line for the ice maker on a new fridge. Second was removal of an old concrete stationary sink, and install of a new one. Most recently, they installed my new hot water tank, and brought the gas line up to code. Folks, I heard of them through word of mouth, and I can’t speak highly enough about them. Professional, clean, honest.

Our sub pump stopped working and Shawn and Son plumbing came out immediately. Shawn Jr did a wonderful job at explaining everything to me. He was kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He had all of the correct tools and was in and out. Thanks for providing excellent service!
