Nick was great, as always! Peanut was too! Both were professional and very polite. Both will always be the preferred plumbers to correct any problems we may incur. Of course, if we never need such a plumber, I can live with that!!
Keonte kept me informed of what he was going to do. He was efficient kept the work area clean. He communicated well. They were very respectful of my property.
Universal Plumbing called the morning of my appointment and David called to let me know he was on his way! He was able to figured out the problem right away and it cost wat less than I thought it was! He fixed my issue and even cleaned up after himself! I will definitely be using them again!
Great job! David was very courteous. If this hadn't been an emergency I wouldn't have paid as much as they charge. I was supposed to get a senior discount as discussed but did not receive it. They wanted me to rewrite a check and bring it to them. In other words they didn't want to honor it so I will not do business with this company again!!
Arrived on time. Diagnosed the problem almost immediately and executed the repair. Repairman was young but a great breath of knowledgeable. He was very respectful in all of his communications with we the clients.
Very knowledgeable, professional & efficient. Great job Keonte! I will be using again in the future

Universal has always been very professional on each of their technicians I am waiting on the work to begin before I give a final judgment but generally, I always use Universal.

Plumbing Technician, (Byron), diagnosed my master bathroom “leak” in 15 minutes. It’s the same diagnosis that my Builder gave me and I said nothing about my builder’s diagnosis to Byron.
