Nick is awesome. He’s very professional at what he do. He’s technically proficient.Also second technician keonte was very professional and efficient
This is my second time using Universal Plumbing because I was satisfied with them the first time. John was awesome die to the very fact that NOTHING in this old house is easy to replace or depart without taking further action. I did what was asked of him to do and my wife and I are satisfied! Thanks again
I can only give 4 stars just because of him having to come back out several times but Tony was very knowledgeable and courteous. He is a young man that is at the start of what I’m sure will be a good career choice for him and I wish him the best of success.
Both technicians were very professional and easy to talk to. They communicated what they were doing up front and made us feel at ease with the work that was being done.
Tony and his partner were professional and courteous.
Our technician John was outstanding! He arrived properly, was courteous and professional, and spent extra time solving the problem. I could not be happier.
Aiken was very professional and did excellent work.
I was very thankful Universal Plumbing was able to schedule me so quickly! I'm also very pleased with Tony the technician's service today. He was very professional & knowledgeable as well as thorough in addressing and providing explanation for my specific plumbing issues! Thank you Tony... God bless & keep up the good work young man!👍🏽🙏🏽
This is my third time using Universal and it’s been a great experience every time.
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. All of the technicians are well-versed and professional especially Nick. James did an outstanding job. He works on the sewer portion. He was very professional
Great timely service
Akeem, did an excellent job. He explained what needed to be fixed to get the toilets working correctly. He checked our water pressure, and fixed the shower that was dripping. He let us know the price of the repairs before starting and cleaned up behind himself. Truly appreciate his work and would recommend him.
Tony is a fantastic person, very personable and a knowledgeable plumber! I would recommend this young man and the company that he works for, Universal Plumbing, to all my friends! A++++
I could not be happier with the work done in my bathroom. Fixing the shower and installing a new vanity with sink.
Universal sent out a plumber to my house within the hour I called. Tony was young but knowledgeable – it’s great to see a younger generational Plumber, as I know that vocational skills are getting harder to fill with skilled workers.
The best in work ethic, quality, and efficiency. My go to for plumbing etc. Did away with home warranty antics….they are useless and would not send the same workmanship and efficiency to my home.
Technician was on time and was very friendly. Did all the necessary repairs and explained them to me. Would highly recommend and use him for any of my future plumbing needs.
Universal Plumbing is always professional, consistent, and gets the job done in a timely manner. Nick was great and very knowledgeable.
The guys did a great job. They were very professional and took time to explain the issues and the fixes! I am very pleased with the service.
Nick is the best. Aikeem is amazing too! We are so thankful for Universal

Professional, quality work, reasonable pricing. Keonte was knowledgeable, customer service oriented and his work was on point! Will definitely recommend to family and friends!
David with Universal Plumbing did a great job! Very friendly and professional and on time. He also gave me a price on some other plumbng repairs i need done in the near future at a reasonable price.

James was prompt for my appointment; he explained everything to me, he gave me choices to fix my problem and he was very nice and informative! I will refer him to all my Friends and Family! Thank you again James!!!
Johnny and his helper did a great job with the work that was needed. After attempting to relocate a tub drain for a new shower installation on my own I decided to call the professionals. Johnny corrected the issue that needed to be solved and also fixed the other bathroom drain that was leaking that was noticed…
Keonte, did a wonderful job installing our faucets & a shower leak in our home. He's professional & well experienced. His promptness is superior. He is definitely a true "asset" to Universal Plumbing. He is Godsend to us. He goes over & beyond in his work, meaning working on his day off. We received a referral from…

Nick did a great job! He was fast and efficient and explained everything so that we knew what needed to be done. I would highly recommend Nick and will use Universal Plumbing for our future plumbing needs!
They were fast polite and efficient at every step they informed me of what they were doing and the cost and gained my permission before hand and they did NOT try to upsell me on something that was not needed. Will definitely be using this service again and I really hope they send Joe he was awesome
He did fine so far No more leaking problems in the upstairs bathroom or at the kitchen sink BUT he left both lights on in the bathroom and in the little hallway that leads to the bathroom and they were on for over 12 hours before I noticed it
Had a shower valve freeze and break during the extreme cold Christmas 2022. They called me back within a couple of hours (when every other plumber I called had a full voicemail box). They were on time to come do a temporary fix, they had to order a part for a permanent fix. When the part came in they came out and…
Excellent customer service, same day repairs. Fixed problems efficiently, explained everything well, very courteous and friendly. Thank you!
Universal has a great team and always gives it to you straight and fair. Byron took care of one of my shower handle stems. He was professional and polite.
Our technician David and his team was very professional and friendly. The problem was detected immediately a game plan was discussed and agreed upon and moved into action. The job was completed in a timely manner, tested, clean up completed. I would highly recommend this company.
Plumbers were very professional and thorough.
