What customers said about toilet installation
I work in a 97 year old building where the unexpected is the norm with a project like a toilet replacement. Brian works so hard and patiently made adjustments when new hurdles arose. The end product was of the highest quality and workmanship.
I requested Andrew because he’s done other work for me and I was very happy with his work! He goes above and beyond to meet the customers needs. I’ll request him again when I need any plumbing.
Alex was very professional, and courteous. My commde was stopped up. He resolved the problem quickly and effectively. I heartily recommend Baker Brothers Plumbing.
Matt was punctual, professional, and explained in detail the job he was doing. He left everything clean after completing the job. I’m thoroughly satisfied with his work and highly recommend this company.
