## The honest read

Asked to repair a 100-year-old toilet, Cliff requested photos, researched parts and kept the customer informed before arriving promptly and repairing it, according to a recent Angi review. On a job that turned out more complicated than expected, a recent customer said he went to his supply house for the additional tools needed and finished very quickly.

A recent customer with a lot of fixtures to replace said Cliff used American-made Prier plumbing and PEX piping, cleaned up the job sites completely, and that the final bill matched the estimate. A recent customer with a leak said the plumber got in touch a few minutes after the call to Angie's and came on time the next morning. HomeAdvisor and Angi each show 4.7 stars from 114 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau grades the business A+.

A 2026 customer said he fixed a frozen pipe without opening the walls. In a 2025 review, a customer said a leak in a hidden spot that could have caused damage was found and fixed. A 2019 customer said he replaced two outdoor spigots within 24 hours of getting the job.

A 2018 customer called the service competent, on time and quick but "horrendously expensive," and said the job was not complete or thorough.

**Strengths:**
- A 100-year-old toilet — a recent customer said it was repaired after parts research
- Bill matched estimate — a recent customer replacing many fixtures said so
- Quick first contact — a recent customer said the plumber reached out within minutes

**Concerns:**
- A high price — a 2018 customer called the service horrendously expensive
