## The honest read

A recent Thumbtack customer said Jefferson Plumbing arrived at the scheduled time, resolved the repairs efficiently and priced the job as expected. A recent Google customer said the owner was responsive and helpful, and praised their plumber Pierre's work from start to finish.

A 2024 customer said the company installed a tankless water heater to replace an old standard tank, and named Ed Jefferson. A 2021 customer described a project to remove low-hanging old radiator heating pipes in the basement and refeed 4 radiators with pex tubing. That 2021 customer said that when the system wasn't working properly, Ed noted a mechanical engineer might give better advice, and that the system worked once they followed that plan.

A 2020 customer credited Eddie with cutting through sheet rock, plaster, wood and concrete to track down leaks and retrofit pipes. A 2017 Thumbtack customer said Ed installed a faucet despite old, rusted fittings, and called to say he was running late. A 2023 customer called Ed Jefferson very experienced and wrote of supporting a 3rd generation black-owned business.

A 2025 Thumbtack customer wrote that they waited an hour after a scheduled appointment with no show and no communication, then cancelled.
