10/10 service. Fast, easy, professional, and fairly priced. I had a leaking faucet with an old shut off system. They replaced my faucet and fixed/rebuilt the shut off system. Will be calling them for my next service.

Sean and Paul addressed ALL the issues during their service call. Even the extra issues that the initial service wasn't for. Very friendly guys who were easy to talk to and explained everything easily. Cleaned up after themselves which is a big deal to me. Will definitely be using the services again

We highly recommend Universal. Our under mount sink sagged after removing our original faucet. It was clear the original install was done improperly. Universal was the only company that would complete ALL necessary repairs. We have a 7 yr old Toll built condo and have had our share of trades come in (unfortunately)…
