Great very clean and professional
Great worker. Excellent workmanship!
TJ did a great job diagnosing and explaining why my A/C was rattling. He went to the unit and jimmied it, which seemed to help. He is a pleasure to work with and talk to.
I had a great experience with Charles King! He did a great job replacing my outside faucet. And inside piping and water shut off valve. I couldn’t be happier. It looks great.
Jacob, from Thorton & Grooms, did a good job. He came back with a faucet much more than I was looking for. The old one was pushing 40 yeas old. The new one is nice and I'm starting to get use to it. The cost of the replacement in cluded a replacement faucet.
Tom's service was great. He is very talented and therefore a real asset to T and G. He fixed our leaking faucet in no time.
Anyone asked will state that this is a higher cost plumbing & maintenance company, but remember that one gets what one pays for. T&G has quality employees performing quality work. If you are looking for courteous, patient, clear explanations from an experienced professional, one can't beat Thornton & Grooms. This…
Thanks Charles ,great job will done. So efficient and knowledgeable.
TOM was fantastic. You can tell he REALLY LOVES his job with Thornton & Grooms. Polite, experienced and easy going. Great suggestions made for future upgrades to improve overall Drain / Sink system efficiency, pipe health and water flow. Tom changed out a bathroom faucet for us, and also checked the kitchen…
Over the years, since 2018 , we have had Thornton & Grooms install and service a number of items in our home. We appreciate the cordial, professional manner shown by each of the T&G people.
Brandon Riddle, Plumbing Specialist, with Thornton and Grooms, did a great job on my bathroom toilet/faucet maintenance.

Quick response
Excellent service , I will definitely be calling them again for other work. Marcus was great!

Tony was great, very professional, the price was too high, ultra expensive
Had a plumbing inspection & did a great job
We’ve always loved the level of service that T&G provides, but Zeke went above and beyond! Really happy, job well done.
Well done, professional, and quick. Very happy with the work that was done!
Tom did great work on toilet installation. He is family and took good care of us.
Paul was the installer of a new toilet and laundry room faucet, with shut-offs. He was very courteous, neat and allowed me to ask whatever questions I had. Also was great with the dogs we have. Highly recommend him, and Thorton and Grooms, in general.
Rodney did a thorough check of my system and took the time to help me understand how it works. Great experience.
Jacob Is a knowledgeable and experienced plumber. He came fully prepared, was efficient and tidy. Explained everything about the work and wanted to be sure we were entirely happy with it before he left
Excellent and professional service.
Nick was a great guy, took time to explain all that was required. Very professional.
Paul (and his team) did a fabulous job of tearing out the old plumbing and installing 1) new pex piping (including new shutoff values and completely redoing the shower piping), and 2) a new hot water heater. Very pleased with the professionalism and the results.
Daryn replaced my kitchen faucet, disposal and redid some of the other plumbing under my kitchen sink. He did a wonderful job and explained everything. I'm an introvert, mostly work from home and hate having workers in my home. But Daryn was quick and quiet, I barely knew he was there! Highly recommend! Update:…
Did great job very happy with results.
Update (12/30/2025) Thanks to Devin D for performing scheduled Plumbing Inspection and Maintenance. Devin was professional, knowledgeable and efficient. The cost for this visit was "zero", as it was covered under Thornton & Grooms' Annual Prepaid Service Plan. (5/5 stars)! -- David H ===== Update (06/11/2025) Thanks…
thanks to T & G for taking ownership and fixing the problem they caused.
Excellent service from Zeke, Will and Walter. Our questions were answered and thoughtful solutions to our concerns were provided. The pros and cons of the different options were explained, and after choosing the option we preferred, the necessary work was carried out efficiently. Excellent service from Tom (on a…
First, thank you, Thornton & Grooms, for your quick response to our call for service. We called for service late afternoon (after 5pm), detailed our issues with your message center and you provided us a service technician before noon on the following day. We're floored by the speed of this. The specialist you…
Marcus was friendly and knowledgeable, and did a great job.
Johnathan is so friendly and knowledgeable and thorough in his work. Very clean, leaves the work area just like it was before came.
Great service. Friendly and informative.
Tom was very professional and efficient.
Josh was wonderful, very professional, friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Thank You!
We called Thornton & Grooms with a long list of plumbing repairs, including replacing a 1960s faucet, a plumbing leak from the upstairs tub that dripped into the kitchen downstairs, draining & flushing the hot water heater, adding antihammer valves to both the hot and cold water lines on the washing machine, and…
Very well spoken and expanded everything in detail
T&G has done work for us over the last 9 years, and every experience has been totally professional with fantastic employees, super easy to work with, answering every question with completeness, doing the job right, and standing behind their work. Today’s work involved a yearly check of out furnaces. Adam did a very…
Curt did a great job...
Always knowledgeable, professional, patient, and kind. Every person I’ve had come to my house from T&G has been wonderful. The whole company culture puts customers first.
The technician was knowledgeable of plumbing. He was personable and understood our project needs.
Andrew was prompt and professional, while replacing the kitchen faucet. His work was excellent and the faucet is working well. He answered all of my questions and took the old parts with him. Highly recommend.
Nick did a great job of installing new toilet and other plumbing repairs.
Amazing service from a friendly and knowledgeable servicer. Quickly assessed the issue and he was then able to complete relatively fast.Thank you!
While, there was a delay in providing service I finally got the prompt attention I was looking for, and the service was excellent.
Professional, excellent, and outstanding service by your technician Rodney Parisien. I always call Thornton & Grooms for the plumbing and furnace needs because they are honest, trusting, and reliable. Rodney is a very knowledgeable and efficient Master Plumber. He went above and beyond and took the time to…
Best service ever. The guys were very helpful and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I will never call anyone else. The guys were quick, efficient, so polite and cleaned up the basement and back yard. Jonathan Wellman , Jared Edward's and their crew were the Best. And the price was great. Thank you Thorton & Grooms
Great and fast service. Josh the technician was very thorough, courteous and knowledgeable. Even though a little pricier than their competitors, they respond and deliver. Satisfied customer!
I cannot say enough good things about Shane, Paul, and Tony. They made an unbearable situation just a little easier to handle. They were beyond friendly and knowledgeable, but above all they were compassionate to our plight. They walked us through everything and gave us all our options to resolve the problems. Hands…
The technician was very knowledgeable and professional and he did a thorough job.
Very professional and thorough. Answered all questions and offered several options. I would recommend Steve Pouloit and Thornton and Grooms.
The service is exceptional, above and beyond answering all of my questions and making sure everything is taken care of
Prompt, courteous, competent.
Brandon did a great job. Overall I am very satisfied. Thanks Brandon for a job well done.
Dave from Thornton & Grooms went above and beyond servicing our air conditioner. He thoroughly explained the issue and fixed it quickly. He is an exemplary example of the T&G team.
Kevin was great. He thoroughly explained everything he was doing, and he completed his work efficiently and effectively. Our bathtub leak was fixed and has not been an issue any longer. Kevin was very friendly and courteous. We would gladly welcome another visit in the future for any plumbing needs that arise. Cody…
I called because my shower wouldn't turn on and my tub faucet wouldn't turn off. Evan was able to make it out next day. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The job didn't take more than a few hours. Great company and service!
Thornton & Grooms has become so disappointing. I think their technicians are now much more skilled in high pressure sales tactics than the actual repair/maintenance work (which has really gone down in quality). I'm changing my rating to just barely one star. Back in 2020, I moved into a new home just as the…
Dan came to my house to perform the yearly Furnace safety check. So glad I had it done. Found a leak that caused some damage to the motor. The part is still under warranty so having it replaced. If I did not do the maintenance this year, could have done more damage to my furnace. So Thanks Dan for doing a great job…
Greg was professional, courteous and explained things well. He also called around for a part that was needed; I was able to pick it up and he then could complete the job the following day. Greg left the work area clean and I was pleased with the service.
The serviceman, Nick, was pleasant, knowledgeable, on-time and did his job quickly and efficiently. Although the service call was to investigate the issue, Nick came prepared to fix-it as well. The situation was one that had to be resolved, ASAP. This was a very good experience ….. thanks to Nick!
Brennon and Curt were on time, and professional. They went right to work, with no horsing around. They seemed to work well together, also. I got two toilets installed in about 2-hours. They knew what they were doing. To add to this...another review 2 years or so later, about faucet. I needed a new faucet.…
Philip is a great representative of the business. He is very pleasant, efficient, and knowledgeable. He explained everything he did in detail in a way no other service man has done for me in the past. He made my options clear and answered all questions. If I decide to do the repairs, I will request he be the tech…
This is the 2nd year that Mike Lilley has performed my annual furnace check. Mike is always polite and professional, and is pleasant and engaging. Mike explains what he is going to do, then works competently and efficiently to follow through. We review his finished work and Mike answers any questions I may have.…
Todd was very good and helped me with everything that I needed. I will ask him something else..
Serviceman was knowledgeable, timely and professional. Pleasure dealing with him.
Informative, professional, highly competent and professional service. Highly recommended.
Very professional
Update to the review noted below: We required additional service and Ricardo was the technician assigned to our account on this visit. Ricardo was extremely professional and completed a clean and complete evaluation of our A/C system, He followed that with a detailed account of his finding to me, using full…
Jason was exceptionally helpful in correcting plumbing issues in my home. He thoroughly explained all procedures and services with a professional and caring attitude. A thumbs up also to his assistant, Tyrone. I highly recommend them and thank them. Laima
Adam was thorough, knowledgable, courteous and friendly. We feel secure knowing our furnaces are working efficiently and properly.
Phil was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. I couldn't recommend another service technician and company more than Phil and Thorton and Groom's. Without reservation, the absolute best service and quality!
Excellent! Outstanding visit
Each of the crew members that were sent over a two day period were polite, prompt, prepared, and professional in all aspects of performing the required pluming work. I was very pleased and would gladly recommend Thornton & Grooms.
William was on time, professional, skilled, and knowledgeable.
Christian Ciambelli is outstanding. He couldn’t have been more professional. He went above and beyond in every aspect of the project. My husband and I are so grateful we selected Thornton & Grooms and couldn’t be happier. Very pleased with Christian’s work!
Jordan Kennard was our serviceman. He did an excellent job!
Excellent and fast service.
Mark was prompt, friendly, and polite. Most important, he opened my clogged drain and gave me suggestions on how to keep it flowing. I have signed up for the Home Care Club and will be using Thornton and Grooms for HVAC work, as well. If I have any plumbing needs, I will be glad to see Mark at my door. And this…
Matt of course did a great job, but going through the whole process from start to finish in my mind, I just don't remember at the time, going thru any product catalog Thornton may have ..Matt made the choices based on what we could afford and it turned out well. Most likely my fault since I haven't been thru this…
Marquis and Kelsie were FANTASTIC!! We had Thornton & Grooms out to fix our RO system and they were so courteous, they were a delight to have in our home. This was a unique repair that took some time and throughout the entire time, they did not once get or sound frustrated, they kept us posted on the progress…
Courteous friendly thoughtful patient. Goes the extra mile with their work and installation
This was my second service by Lucas and he was great. Very polite, professional and friendly. He finished the job quickly and cleaned everything up. I highly recommend him along with Thornton and grooms!
Great service today
This is by far the best, most organized and efficient company we have dealt with during the renovation of our home. Every single person we have dealt with are outstanding!
Explanation of needed repairs and cost. Because there not a major emergency there will be a 30 to 60 day window to do repairs and pay cash for repairs. Both plumbers I had contact with were polite and helpful.
Tom was quick and professional. Very knowledgeable and reassuring about the job that needed to be done. Very good.
Justin was on time, quickly went through options and got the job done quickly.
Rodney tried and was unable to repair my vintage dish master. Installed a new faucet assembly. Rehung the garbage disposal, and fixed a variety of other small issues. He is certainly persistent! A pleasant and professional gentleman.
Staff is professional. Their dispatch is great because they give you precise times and will try to fit you in if there are cancellations.
Arrived on time and removed old leaking faucet on the outside of home and replaced. Corrected the problem. Nice efficient worker
Sarah was fantastic..
Steve is most excellent he has been to my house a few times very knowledgeable great attitude to bad more business don't have a professional like Steve Keep up the good work
Paul and Tony came today to replace my faucet and pipes in my shower, they were very polite and professional would highly recommend.
Overcharged and damaged sink
Had a slow leak at a braze joint under the sink, Tony was able to confirm the trouble spot and perform a complete and quick repair. We also needed our hose faucet and internal shut off valve replaced. This work was completed with a more robust ball valve to replace the aged gate valve and the outside faucet was…
On time. Prompt professional service both visits. I would highly recommend!
Solved problem with icemaker
Paul was very knowledgeable and professional replaced stack in basement and installed all new plumbing in main bathroom. Fantastic job they were neat showed up on time and did first class work.
The quality of work and the professionalism of every employee who has visited the house have been great. The most recent employee to visit, Gianni, was excellent. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that multiple times I've had my routine-maintenance appointment rescheduled the day on which it was to…
Tony was very professional and courteous to my mother's situation. I live with my mother who is the homeowner, and she is also blind. Tony answered all of her questions very well. We will be using your company again and hopefully Tony will be the one you send out.
First time customers & Livonia residents Our experience went from not so good to top notch! We had someone out to fix a leak and a tub faucet installation. To say the least, we were very dissatisfied. The person that did it was very nice. We would just suggest better training, so one can learn from whatever mistakes…
They were suppose to fix my grandfather's shower heads and faucets. Their "fix" made the upstairs shower head leak when you turn it on and now the downstairs shower doesn't doesn't work. Very unprofessional to not check their work before they left and received payment. They refused to answer their dispatchers for…
Erin did a great job with the inspection and followed through with fixing some of the issues and scheduling other work. Very personable and cares about the customer.
This plumbing team has been simply Amazing! I actually hugged John I was so excited to finally have my long term plumbing issues repaired and replaced! Outstanding professional services ! Thank you - Monique from Farmington hills Mi
Great job
Used T&G for several services now. Incredibly professional. On time. Knowledgeable. AJ from plumbing and Chip from HVAC were both a pure delight to work with. Worked with Hunter from HVAC, incredibly professional and such a delightful person.
Lucas was very friendly and professional!!
They were so nice when i called and sent someone the same day. They are very professional and the tech. was polite, neat and explained everything that needed to be done. I definately will use then again if i have any problems in my home. Thank you Thorton & Grooms for taking care of the problems we were having.
Jon was fantastic! He worked very hard and had a great attitude. I have never been disappointed by T & G.
If I could give Tom Heisner of Thornton and Groom's a gift for how wonderful and caring he was in his multiple visits to our home to fix a messed up bathroom remodel - I would. Thornton and Groom as usual was professional, courteous, everything from putting a drop cloth down immediately to being on time, to calling…
Ridiculous pricing! I was not informed of flat rate pricing, only of the service fee. I had a kitchen faucet installed (no bells and whistles) and the old faucet was already previously removed. I was charged $489 ($400 for faucet install, $89 service call) for a 20 min job. I have no issues paying fair prices and…
AJ answered all of my questions. He was thorough and offered me suggestions without pressure. Nick and AJ did great work, gave attention to detail and kept me updated.
Evan was awesome. Super quick and knowledgeable 10/10 recommend
First I got an estimate. Then I had them come back to do the work. Plumber was nice, professional, knowledgeable, kept things clean, wore covers on shoes, and was creative in solving a problem.
Josh was not afraid to get down and dirty replacing my sump pump, cleaned up after himself and explained what he was doing to my satisfaction. Also replaced two outdoor faucets which were solidified in concrete. I now am part of the club and am grateful to have a reliable timely business ready to serve me.
Explained everything thoroughly
We've used Thornton and grooms now for a couple years their service is awesome The people are very nice and professional they put booties on and clean up their mess when they're done. And they never try to sell you something that you don't need totally trust them.
This company is awesome. I bought a new house in January that has since needed a full HVAC replacement, multiple water/gas shutoff repairs, and valve installs. The technicians (Mason, Luke, Mike, Tequila) are extremely professional, do top-quality work, and try to save you money where possible. I am a part of the…
Very pleased with the work Ryan did. Very professional and polite.
While the initial pricing was a definite bait and switch game from the customerservice reps, Lucas did a great job reducing the final cost as well as providing a first class install.
Lucas did a great job! We are very happy with our new kitchen faucet.
He did a great job cheefully !! Highly recommend him !
Aaron was excellent. Explained what the problem was with the faucet. Gave us options. Very professional. And I'm very happy with the outcome. This installation was done at my parent's house. Not the first time I've used the Company and I've recommended them to others.

Excellent service for an emergency. On time. Capable and courteous. I will use them again. Thank you, SIlvia Pedraza, Ann Arbor.
Carter is a sweetheart. He is very kind and helpful. After he finished and left I tried to use the sink and had drainage issue still. He came right back and checked everything and explained thoroughly what the actual issue was-/and it was not the drainage on which he had worked. All seems to be okay now. Per his…
Thornton and Grooms did a great job on the multple jobs done at our home. So kind and so professional! Great job! Thank you!
We have had a lot of work done in our home by Thornton & Grooms over this last year since January. Every major piece of our home has been replaced by them this year alone. Every person they have sent to my home has been professional, courteous and on time. The protection plan / membership we purchased in the…
We have been using Thornton and Grooms a lot this year because we joined there membership. The only problem with them is no consideration of planning , time and life. They don’t let you know when they are coming out until the day of. Who does that? We have had so many reschedules because we don’t know if it’ll work…
Columbus Ward was very helpful, he took extra time due to issues from a poor install that another contractor did. He was Very professional and helpful! Highly recommended.
Gabe did an excellent job with my faucet, pipe and sink installation.
I had world-class experience with Thornton & Grooms. I was able to get scheduled immediately for service and they followed up with phone calls and text letting me know when the technician would arrive. In addition, they sent a photo and background details of the technician. Technician was polite, courteous and…
This is the second time we have used this company. And I have been very impressed both times. Everything is done flawlessly and no hiccups occur. Tony Paterno is a true professional. Highly recommend.
I had a leaky faucet. They sent someone out to fix. The plumber contacted me with options and I chose to replace the faucet. He gave me options on what faucet I wanted with prices I assumed would be on bill. When I did receive bill . The price was over $1,000. I asked for a breakdown and was told they do not do it…
James was great! Explained what needed to be done and was quick about making it happen. I am completely satisfied. Plumbing inspection as a part of my platinum plan. Tom fixed a couple of drippy faucets and a connection under a sink. Still satisfied! Had John Cassidy this time. Excellent service!

We had a water line leak on Good Friday. Zeke, from Thornton & Grooms came out and diagnosed the leak immediately. We had to have the city come out to turn off the water to fix the leak. Zeke was truly amazing getting help from the city on Good Friday and fixing the leak so we wouldn't be without water all Easter…
I was looking for a second opinion and I've used them for plumbing in the past. This was the first time I had them look at my furnaces. Joe Blake was honest and straightforward. Seemed very knowledgable and friendly.
Thornton & Grooms technicians did an excellent job determining the problem and repairing our backed up sewer system. Colin called me to let me know the sewer cap Thornton & Grooms worker installed is still in place. I was concerned that another cap had also been installed initially and now was missing. Not the…
Cameron was great - prompt, courteous, personable, knowledgeable, informative, thorough and clear - polite and extremely accommodating without taking unnecessary time or discussion - helped solve immediate and longer term issues - very satisfied
Mason was very professional. Explained what he was going to do and gave me the price before starting. Finished job exceptionally fast and showed me how my new pull down faucet and sink plug worked. I will highly recommend Mason and Thornton & Grooms to my family and friends!
Did my maintenance and discussed upkeep for my HVAC and plumbing. Very polite and did a good job. Company is very easy to work with.
Professional, courteous and thorough.
All of the gentlemen that came to my house to repair and replace my faucets were outstanding workers. Greg replaced faucets. He kept me informed of what he was doing and what the charges were. He and his partner worked nonstop for several hours. And they cleaned up after themselves. I would definitely call Thornton…
excellent
Tony was punctual and knowledgeable. He showed up with a mask and feet coverings. Evaluated the situation and walked me through my options. He placed orders and two other workers showed up to complete the job. Everyone was friendly, courteous and efficient.
Very professional, friendly, and you can’t beat what all is included in their service plan (free plumbing inspection etc). Very pleased and will definitely be using again!
I was hesitant to schedule service because of COVID concerns. When I called for the appointment they informed me all of the service technicians wear masks and they ask homeowners to do the same. They called the morning of the appointment to make sure no one in the household was isolating or had a recent exposure,…
Great job by Gabe all systems go.
Prompt and courteous service. Very nice to deal with. Cleaned up after work completed. Very pleased and will use in the future.
Today Scott came out and clean my furance plus he noticed my humidifier needed to be serviced also which he did and he replaced both of the filters in the humidifier plus made sure it was turned and working correctly plus after cleaning my furnace he replaced the filter with a hepa filter.

I was very impressed with the professional service I received. Rodney replaced an old spigot and installed new outside freezeless spigot. He also took time to listen to my questions. Great service; I couldn't be more pleased.
