What customers said about faucet installation
William provided great service. He was friendly, quick, reliable and we appreciate the work when we had an unexpected emergency. On our list for service next time. Thanks!
Had a small shower issue that needed to be looked at. Dan and his crew came out, identified the problem, and got it fixed quickly. Great service.
Very adept and proficient; particular in his clean-up and respectful of our home; polite; reasonable prices. We’ve used his services before and would not hesitate to do so again. Grateful to know such a fine plumber.
We're in the process of working with Terence and are very pleased with his work so far.
My Spigot had to be changed, The plumber was here for 20 minutes. They charged $578.28 for a simple replacement. That's shameful!!!
I had a wonderful experience with Dave Somers. He was extremely responsive, did excellent work, and charged me less than he quoted me “because it didn’t take him as long as he thought”. I couldn’t have asked for any better service!
