Skooter's did an amazing job for me. They spent a long time at my house and never rushed a thing. They worked with me on the price and set up a payment plan I could actually handle. The service was outstanding and everyone was so kind. I am really grateful for how they treated me. Highly recommend.

Do not Recommend - Hired them to fix a running toilet - still runs after their "Repair". Plumber was onsite for 1 hour and 10 minutes - billed for a full 2 hours (last 10 was in his truck). To top it off -Plumber turned off supply to water heater and never turned it back on before leaving - water heater ran out…

Our repair man was younger and very professional and knowledgeable. I liked that he showed me what was wrong with the old parts and educated me thru the process so I was able to make better judgement calls decisions on what to replace new. I highly recommend them as they were exceptional in every way. Our bill was $593.56.
