Tristan and Freddy were great to work with. They were both friendly, prompt and did an excellent job replacing our water heater and adding a hot water circulation pump. This was our second time using Brass Monkey plumbing and both times we received great service. I highly recommend them.

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.
