Can’t say enough about Paul. We are a repeat customer, we had our gas line fixed as per PG&E due to a gas leak. Our drain out was also clogged up so we couldn’t use our washer in the garage. Paul fixed both issues the same day. His prices are fair and his response is prompt. Paul saved our weekend.!!

Thank you for sharing your experience with the gas line and drain repairs. We're glad both issues were resolved quickly so you could use your washer again. Your feedback on pricing and response time is appreciated.
