I cannot say enough good things about both Chris and Andrew, both service techs who ended up coming out to investigate and fix my drainage problem causing my a/c condensation pan to overflow and drip onto my ceiling and clog my upstairs bathroom drain. And I cannot thank Steve’s for scheduling me asap! Although the…

We purchased a new sink and faucet in a house that is more than 50 years old. We asked the receptionist a Steve's to send out their most able plumbers who would be able to make the connections between the old and the new. Jose and Thomas were terrific. they worked carefully and methodically until all the pieces…

Chris was very personable and found the problem right away. He thoroughly explained the problem to me with photos that he had taken. Although he has to come back to finish, he was able to clear the drain and get the AC working again

Angel came out same day of my call to service an AC unit that was blowing hot air. He kept me updated and had it fixed in just over an hour. Efficient and professional. It was expensive because the unit hadn't been serviced in several years. Better than buying a new unit during a heatwave. I have used Steve's many times.

Kevin and Will just installed a new water heater for me on a Friday afternoon in 2 hours. Very impressed with the efficiency of this company and Kevin & Will's workmanship.

Thank you to Steve’s 5 Star Service, for its quick response to our plumbing emergency. Lead plumber, Martin was excellent in terms of his professionalism, expertise, and patience in explaining what the problem was and the options for addressing it. We highly recommend this business to others if you are in need of their services.
