Hohengasser Plumbing and Heating provides outstanding service, and I highly recommend them. Joe and his team always respond in a timely manner, and they are excellent professionals who understand the need to resolve problems effectively and without delays. When I was having some major plumbing problems, I was displeased with a larger plumbing business that had attempted to handle the water filtration problem for a few years. The larger firm sent a different plumber each time — and there was no continuity of service. It often took weeks to get someone scheduled, and when the person arrived he was not familiar with my filtration system. I had heard excellent recommendations about Joe, and switching to him was a great decision. He and his guys knew how to handle the complex problems I’ve turned to them a number of times for other issues, and they are always responsive and outstanding. They care about the work they do, and they are eager to manage the problems well. They are a great team.
These folks are just the best! Not only did they come quickly to solve our problem, Joe helped us trouble shoot before sending someone out to make sure we actually needed a service call.
I just wanted to let other customers know that we had a great experience with Hohengasser Plumbing and Heating. I had an urgent issue and they were able to respond quickly and efficiently. They also repaired a previous issue that we weren’t aware of. It surely puts my mind at ease knowing the job is going to be done and done right. Thanks Joe for taking my call and helping me out. You have great tradesmen on your team. Would definitely use thier services again and highly recommend them.
Joe, Mike, Brian, Chris, Deegan, and Gabe are all consummate professionals who will treat you fairly, explain your options clearly, show up for the work, and do it well. Hohengasser Plumbing & Heating has helped us out with multiple problems, and I couldn't be happier with the results!
Like Tony the Tiger said "They're Great"! Joe was very understanding of the emergency situation we were in and was able to get a crew out quickly without breaking bank. He didn't try up selling things he just did what needed to be done to solve the problem. Anyone asks me about plumbers, I'm saying Hohengasser all the way. Thank you Joe!
