TJ from Thornton & Grooms did our annual furnace inspection on October 27. He performed a thorough check of the heating system in a very professional manner. Explained every procedure. Great job! David Rudd did a great heating inspection today, 10/22/2025,. Explained the process thoroughly, and answered every…
Ben did a great job , as we have come to expect from Thornton & Grooms. Ben flushed and descaled our tankless water heater and while that process ran, Ben installed a replacement toilet in our master bathroom. Ben explained everything that he was going to do and then went over the completed jobs when he was…
Excellent communication through the whole process, from booking through arrival and departing. Professional, courteous, thorough. Greg arrived on time, was very thorough with his inspection of the plumbing system. He replaced a couple seals, drained the hot water heater & installed a couple screws into the HW…
Very satisfied with the service provided by Charles King.
Which one of these photos shows inappropriate level attention to detail gives me concern regarding what is not directly in my face otherwise very charming and professional, but that’s unacceptable icing on the cake
Curt & Khari did an excellent job installing our new toilet. Very professional & kept us informed of any concern or problem. Would highly recommend T & G.
Great service from Jonathon Wellman and Dylan C. Very pleasant young men, competent, worked efficiently and cleaned up the area after replacing an old toilet and supply valve. Would recommend them for any plumbing repairs or issues.
Plumbing inspection
Thank you Robert for repairing our air conditioner and answering our questions. We appreciated the short time it took you to get us up and running again just in time for the warm and hot summer days. Thank you for a job well done!!
Next day service that was absolutely outstanding and seemed like it had been part of their schedule for weeks!
Needed to add freon to charge the system. They came and diagnosed the issue and promptly made the necessary repairs
Mike came out to give us an assessment and estimate for a sewer line replacement. He was knowledgeable and thorough on all aspects of the project. Jesse and his team replaced old cast-iron pipes with PVC pipes. they also replaced a toilet flange and misappropriated PVC pipes from a prior plumber into proper…
Tony is very honest, open, down to earth, professional, and competent. He is very friendly and delightful to work with. He did an outstanding job repairing a toilet leak and installing 2 brand new toilets. Next, we are going to have Tony install 2 new bathroom vanity sinks. I highly recommend Tony for any plumbing challenge you have.
Nick did a wonderful job. Very professional, definitely knew what he was talking about, and friendly. Would highly recommend Thornton and Grooms!
Quoted $4,647 to install/swap one regular toilet ($912) and install/swap one smart toilet ($2,824). Shocked by these prices. Hired a different company to do the same work for $275 for the regular toilet and $600 for smart toilet.
We’ve always loved the level of service that T&G provides, but Zeke went above and beyond! Really happy, job well done.
Tom did great work on toilet installation. He is family and took good care of us.
Friendly and professional workers
I cannot say enough of how these guys are the best plumbing service company out here. Completely trustworthy and the services techs are hands-down the best in this industry. They always have the parts that are needed so I'm never waiting to get my problems repaired. Thorton and Grooms will always be my first choice when I'm in need.
Love the people and the service. Great job installing our new toilet. Thank you! Thanks Paul!!
The work has been sloppy at best. Charged full price + for a team of people that didn't seem to know what they are doing. 5 days after 'the work' got done, we've had the laundry room flooded, the shower diverter shoots water out the back (never tested - twice), shower drain cracked and leaking, toilet not installed correctly...
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.
Jeremy was promt, courteous and thorough in his estimate for interior and exterior main drain replacement and toilet installation.
Great Service
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…
Written in approximately 2017 --- I am thrilled with my experience with Thornton and Grooms...all 20+ times they've been out over the years. They absolutely have a knack for hiring the perfect service technicians. Bill Richards is our go-to guy for plumbing and Will Walker for HVAC. We've had others come out, and…
Removal of old and installation of new toilet.
Jaclyn was great and installed a new flush assistant toilet and tested it.
I very pleased with their professionalism and care for the house...very true professionalism. Just outstanding !
Sergio was great when he called about letting me know that Alex was coming. Alex gave us options on what we could do with our toilet. Alex put in a new toilet which is fantastic! Alex is informative, kind, and does great work!
Dave Laginess completed my annual furnace inspection. He was very thorough and knowledgeable and very respectful. Thank you Dave
Josh was excellent in providing options for our malfunctioning toilet. He clearly explained the work & costs for same. I hope I can request him specifically next time. Price seemed a little costly, but I think everything costs too much these days.
Always experienced and courtesy staff with good communication from techs and dispatch.
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
Both Tony & Joshua were beyond helpful & professional. That is why I contact a bigger company I wanted the job done correctly & in time for the weekend & if by chance there were any problems I could get a hold of them again. I do not anticipate there will be any problems with the job they did. If I could give them…
Great service by Kevin Byrne!
Thornton and Grooms have become my new favorite! They are professional prompt and they get the job done right the first time! Jacob Priest performed my plumbing maintenance. I decided on a new toilet instead of a repair. Something I thought was an awesome “touch” Jacob labeled the valves in the basement so I…
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.
Anthony and Aaron did a good job. So did John. What I didn't like was Anthony and Aaron left and passed the job on to John. John didn't finish last night and he said he may or may not be back to finish today. It may be someone else. I don't understand that.
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…
Great service. Devon is a very professional and nice guy!!
2nd service in a couple of years. Plumbing repairs and replacement of basement pipes. Additionally removal and installation of powder bathroom toilet w/complete new kit. Tom H. is an T&G supervisor and plumber professional. After our initial appt to assess the leaks origins Tom returned today and completed all…
Peasant guy, installing a basement toilet under a stairway and busting some concrete to connect it. Also replacing a bathroom vanity to solve a chronic issue, gave good advice on it.
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.…
He was very professional, courteous, and timely. They did a great job. Very knowledgeable and pleasant young man
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!
William was on time, professional, skilled, and knowledgeable.
clean furnace
Everyone we’ve had out to our home has been exceedingly professional and kind. We’re thankful to have such a great company to turn to for our repair needs! Omar was great, Friendly and informative!
High quality and very professional. Staff takes the time to explain what the problem is and what they are doing to fix the problem. Highly recommend the company and their staff.
Steve did a phenomenal job with our install. He was on time, professional and went the extra mile to make sure we understood the issues and getting the job done.
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!
Luke Sims is a young professional who is earnest about his job. When unable to solve the problem, he called for help. He and Tom Nummer found the right color and style toilet that fit the situation all in one day! I appreciate their attention to my concerns and to the job.
We had a number of plumbing needs addressed in one visit to try to same some money. They sent several plumbers out and everything was done in timely fashion and everything was working fine when they left.
we had a water heater replaced, 6 water shut off's replaced, 1 gas valve replaced, 1 hose bib replaced, and 1 beautiful Toto toilet installed. Throughout the entire process I was kept in contact with the company, from my 1st contact to the follow up. They arrived with in their estimated time ( actually 5 minutes…
Aaron was thorough, professional, and efficient. He explained all of the repairs and offered pointers about maintenance.
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…
Not the cheapest in the area, but their technicians seem to know how to do things right and try to suggest reasonable repairs before ones that are more expensive and extensive. When they need to do something that is extensive (like putting a new sewer line in my basement), they reduce or remove the cost of prior attempts to fix the problem.
This entire team, is completely organized, professional, and great communicators. We stumbled upon them using Google reviews, and are very relieved to have done so. Highly recommended.
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.
Sarah was amazing!
All Thorton and Groom service people are extremely courteous, thorough and explain things in detail. Our serviceman today, Jay, was no exception to this.
I had a very good experience with Thornton & Grooms with a quick response to a toilet issue. Also, was fixed faster than expected. A 5-Star outcome today. Thanks for great service.
We've had a very good experience with Thornton and Grooms. Our plumber, Jay, diagnosed the problems with our old toilet and when we decided to have a new toilet, as well as a bidet seat, installed, Jay came back and not only took the old toilet out and installed the new one, he explained the basics of how to use the…
Absolutely amazing!!! Very friendly, priced well, and knowledgeable. Always kept us up to date on when they would be here and even had pictures of who was coming. John and Jeremy are two amazing workers. Will definitely be using this company again. Thank you for your service!!!
John Christopher and Craig Prudom were fantastic, highly recommend them both and this great company! Trainee Joe was easy to work with too. I would never go anywhere else for my plumbing and HVAC needs :)
Martin Pavliscak from Thornton & Grooms did a great job going over our 2 furnaces. He is very knowledgeable and honest.With the Silver Plan, this service didn't cost us anything.
William Brown and his team provided outstanding service on Monday, Dec. 5, 2022. All scheduled installations could not be completed for various reasons and William assured us we would be notified when items would be available for installation. The toilet installation was completed to our satisfaction.
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.
Very friendly and efficient.
Nick was the technician, he was extremely knowledgeable & a very nice person. He did a wonderful job on a complicated repair job. I highly recommend him!
Tequila was warm, friendly, went out of her way to do anything she could to help us. I mean she really went out of her way to try everything she could think of to gain us a replacement furnace. Hours of work I am sure that went way above and beyond. Thank you to a dear heart.
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…
Todd was very professional and addressed our plumbing leak issue very timely.
Professional
I have used Thornton & Grooms several times and their service technicians are always very professional, extremely knowledgeable and provide upfront pricing. Todd was no exception! I would definitely recommend him and your company to my family and friends.
Very professional
Everyone was professional, courteous, and answered my questions about all of the work I was looking to have done. This included re-piping the entire house (hot and cold), updating some drain pipes, installation of a new toilet, and relocation of a few items. I received multiple quotes from Justin based on the…
Very professional and helpful with explaining the options for the repair I needed. Highly recommended.
Dorian knows this business. I felt safe following his advice. I’m very happy with his work .
Josh and Mark were very polite and courteous. They came in did the drains, made sure everything was working fine, and cleaned up after themselves. Wish there were more people like them. If other companies had people like them they would get more business. Tell them how great full I am for the wonderful and professional job they did.
Luke did a great job 👏
Such a positive experience from the start. Absolutely every person .we spoke to .or had contact with. Clean, efficient, polite, on time throughout entire process. Very professional. This is our company from here on out. Thank you Thornton and Grooms!
Always excellent service and trustworthy . Very professional.
Great company to work with.
Lucas was very professional, detailed, explained everything.He replaced two bathroom sinks and faucets.Fixed a leaking pipe by hot water heater.He cleaned up mess before he left. Im actually having him.come back and replace an old toilet this week.
Ryan was polite and helpful. Was happy to wear face and shoe coverings while in our home. Would definitely recommend them.
Lucas was professional, efficient, let me know what the best plan of action was and executed the plan. Fixed an easy fix on one of my toilets, found some more significant problems with the other and was able to replace the whole thing quickly.
Steve P was exceptional! We were very pleased!
We were totally happy with the work that Lucas did for us. A gentleman and a hard worker. I would recommend him to anyone for his good nature and ethics.
Very polite and did an amazing job!
The company is responsive, returns calls in a timely manner, has fixed plumbing issues that others companies or individuals did not, and they stand by their work.
Patrick Somerset was very professional, knowledge and thorough. He was all about the business and customer satisfaction. Great personality and i am a satisfied customer.
Perfect.
It's a shame I have to change what was once a five star review to one. After confirming an appointment for a rather large job for the next day, that had been on the books for a full week, they no-call, no-showed us for 2 days and we had to reach out to them to get an explanation, no courtesy calls of any kind. They…
Very personable and efficient.
I'm very disappointed to have to change what was once a 5 star review down to 1 star, but I can't in good conscious continue recommending this company. We had great previous experiences with Thornton and Grooms. We knew that they were on the expensive end for their services, but for the ease of working with them…
Charles came out to give an estimate on a split air conditioning unit for a specific room in our house and he was just great. He was extremely friendly and was thorough in going through the choices and various costs. He provided an estimate faster than expected, and even took time before leaving on holiday to talk…
Todd offered such stellar customer service and did an outstanding job on installation and repairs!
Paul was very helpful. We experienced a few hiccups but he was very polite and professional and told me what I needed to do to get everything taken care of.
Great experience - prompt, professional, cost effective, quality work ...highly recommend
This was a second major problem with sewer and faulty toilet issues. The first issue was resolved; this is a new problem. Colin, Steve and Zack were efficient, professional and were very cordial.
Our repairman Aaron was phenomenal. Dealt with our stress perfectly :-)). Detailed quote. Completed the job professionally too. Very satisfied
Curt was knowledgeable and very helpful.
Josh’s did a great job. He was up Front on cost of the work. I had what turns out to be a big problem with my septic line. He did his hardest to get it unclogged. He also had Jim come with a camera to visualize what was wrong. Thornton and grooms also does not charge if they can’t get you system unclogged which…
I selected this company due to its reputation and I was not disappointed. Todd was honest, competent and I am happy with the finished product.
We have used Thornton and Grooms for all of our HVAC and plumbing issues since buying our house three years ago (and there have been a LOT of issues) and they have always been great to work with. Their prices are a little higher than most, but in our opinion, absolutely worth it.
