Would absolutely recommend this company to anyone. Our technician Madison was amazing, so thorough and very knowledgeable. Would definitely use them again for any plumbing needs!
Chris was very professional and quick with his work. He was able to answer all of our questions and concerns and directed us to the best option for us at the time. Treated our house as if it was his own. Very professional.

He showed me that it seemed that the previous owners removed the tub and placed a shower but it was placed improperly. However he was able to unclog the drain with the snake. Shower is working properly…
The plumbing and heating doctor I got was amazing. I’m very happy with the service I got. I definitely will save the number in my phone.
They were nice and professional. They fixed a shower part for us. They were also reasonable when it came to price.

How we grade
Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.
Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
