Tyler unclogged a sink and shower drain which now are clear. He also installed a new modern toilet in our 85 year old house. He was earlier than planned which was nice and is very friendly and courteous. He worked quickly and efficiently. The price seemed very reasonable to me. I will use Viking again when needed.

Viking was a pleasure to deal with. Jason arrived in timely fashion. He was polite and a good communicator, fully explaining what he had to do and how he was going to do it. He gave me an accurate estimate of how much time it would take. I highly recommend Viking.
