Efficient and knew a lot about the installation which was fast
Brandon from Universal Plumbing did a fantastic job installing both my new garbage disposal and reverse osmosis system! He was extremely polite, kind, and efficient throughout the entire process. I also like supporting Universal Plumbing because they are a woman-owned business and their communication is top-notch. I…
Very quick response .. my technician was very thorough and didn’t leave a mess .. very good service. Will definitely be calling for future plumbing needs
I needed a new kitchen sink disposal in a flash… These guys came within just a couple of hours and their service fee was not only lower than the first couple of places I called, but it’s returned to you if your labor and parts costs are higher than $200… Good Deal!! … and certainly different from most plumbers.…
Always great work. Employees are so professional.
Great service. Arrived on time. Very professional. Very quick. Great job. Will definitely use again if needed.
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)…
Thanks so much to Brandon for installing a new garbage disposal in our home. Brandon was very professional and respectful of our property. He was on time. He was a good sport about listening to our dog barking at him most of the time he was with us. We have used Universal Plumbing for several issues - water heater,…
Brandon M. provided excellent service. He was on time, respectful of our property while demonstrating a great knowledge of his job. I would highly recommend the services of this company.
Very professional. Explained everything they were doing. Will definitely use again.
Damian from Universal Plumbing arrived on time. Checked my garbage disposal . Recommended replacing the old one which had a lot of years on it and wasn't working. He replaced the old one and put in anew one. The job was done smoothly with no problems. Definitely recommend Universal Plumbing.
Have the plumber help me to install garbage disposal and also a new strainer in the kitchen sink. Great plumber to work with. We will definitely call again if there is any further needs!
Chris came out to replace my garbage disposal. He was ultra-helpful, explained to me all of my options, and also gave me some very helpful pointers regarding the function of my sump pump back up system. Top notch guy and tech.
The team was great.
Top quality install and repair work!!! Thanks for the amazing finished product. I couldn’t ask for better & higher quality performance….
Excellent plumbers. From Chris the first day to Colin and Max doing alot of work. Very professional. Plumbers JD and Max came out ti replace copper pipes to new modern pipes for our dishwasher. Very professional and excellent plumbers. I would hire Universal again of course their plumber are awesome
The Universal Team did a fantastic job with a kitchen sink and garbage disposal installation as well as bringing the plumbing up to code.
Excellent quick & friendly service at a fair price.
Was pleased to get a call saying an earlier opening was available and there was a knock on the door in less than 30 minutes. Colin was very courteous and professional. He explained everything and did a great job cleaning up after. Another great job by Universal!
Chris and JD came out to work on our broken sink and replace our garbage disposal. Very nice, professional guys. They did a great job! The customer service is also fantastic. Would recommend them, and will definitely use them again when needed.
Will use again in the future!
Chris arrived on time for the appointment, quickly provided a quote for me to approve. Had to make multiple trips out to his truck for parts, always took his booties off outside and put them back on to keep work area clean. Excellent work, friendly, professional. Highly recommend.
Very pleasant like the follow up does great work and timely
Bryce was great. He and his apprentice worked for quite a few hours replacing the drain stack for my kitchen in order to accommodate the install of my dishwasher. They also installed the kitchen sink, faucet, and garbage disposal, as well as replacing the hose bib on the back of the house. They were professional,…
The tech Mark was very professional. He explained everything to me and answered all my questions. He did the install then gave me pointers about my garbage disposal and pipes. He then asked and showed me where the hot water temperature should be. I would recommend them and will use again.
We had a wonderful experience in every aspect of their service. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a plumbing job!!!!
Highly recommend! The installer, Damien, was very professional, took the extra time to re-route some pipes so I didn't have to lose a cabinet like the previous plumber had stated and even cleaned up! 5 ⭐️
The plumber Damian was very professional and very good at His craft.Great attitude !! Great service overall .I definitely will be using this service again in the future !!!!! Let’s go universal!!
Damian and Collin are fantastic professionals. Both were courteous, respectful, very knowledgable, and completed repairs quickly. I requested a card and Universal will now become my go to company for repairs as well as remodel.
I have used Universal Plumbing and Sewer three separate times in the last year, once for putting in a condensation line for my tankless water heater, then they installed a new garbage disposal, and finally they fixed my leaking bathtub faucet. I'm hoping I won't have any more problems anytime soon, but I know I will…
We had a new undermount stainless sink, dishwasher and garbage disposal replacement. We also had a shower installed in the basement bathroom. From the time Tony came to do the estimate through Rob and Eric performing and completing the job our experience was excellent. Rob's amazing attention to detail was…
Great service. Bryce was great. He was knowledgeable and completed the service fast. I would definitely recommend Universal again and request Bryce.
It doesn’t matter what technician was dispatched to our house for which ever issue we were experiencing at the time they have all been so professional and knowledgeable in their field. Their trustworthiness is appreciated more than you’ll ever know!
Universal is awesome! They came out in one day on a holiday weekend, found the leak & installed a new disposal. The company is professional, reliable & personable. The office staff are very nice & helpful & our installer, JD was the best! 5 stars for sure!
