What customers said about shower repair
Howald Heating, Air Conditioning …For a non-emergency plumbing issue, I appreciate the opportunity to ask for advice before making an appointment. Appointments are easily scheduled; the technician's arrival is announced in a timely fashion and the work is done expertly and in a friendly manner, including checking pricing in advance and cleaning up after the work is done.
Hobaica ServicesVery friendly and did an amazing job! Five ⭐️ Specific shout out to D’Andre Bellamy for his expertise and friendliness! Makes dealing with those silly plumbing problems a pleasant experience!
PV Heating, Cooling & PlumbingGreat work by my service guy Diego, who came out to take care of my bathroom leak issue… Very detailed and great communication! We’ll definitely look forward to working with him again in the future if anything arises!
United HVAC, Plumbing & ElectricalMy bathtub drain stopper was completely stuck, and nothing I tried would budge it. Ren from United HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical had it free in no time. He didn't just fix it and leave. He showed me what was causing the problem, helped me pick the right replacement part, and explained how to install it myself,…
Addario's Plumbing, Heating, Cool…James and Tobin were great! Very knowledgeable, very professional and they made it very easy to build rapport! They explained the process and made it easy to follow along what they were doing and why! Great folks! that know their stuff and will definitely be my go-to!
Cody & Sons Plumbing, Heating & A…We had a hot water leak that required multiple days of work requiring coordination across various companies. Cameron was the consummate professional keeping our family as top priority as he coordinated and “quarterbacked” the entire job. I highly recommend Cameron because I believe he provides this level of service…
