A recent customer wrote that after a mishap, the owner, Brad, personally reached out and made sure the situation was taken care of, and that Tyler, the lead technician, came out. A 2026 customer said they called about a leaking water heater more than 10 years old on a Tuesday after a snowstorm, and that the company was there within 45 minutes replacing it. A 2023 customer said Justin was on the road to the house within 20 minutes for a failed kitchen sink and a leaking garbage disposal, and that the owner, Jason, drove over a new Delta faucet. A 2023 customer said Jason installed a new water heater the day after an after-hours call. A 2025 customer described a new bathroom project and said the team arrived as scheduled for each visit. A 2025 customer said a bathroom faucet one plumber installed broke within two weeks, that the front office accused them of breaking it, and that the office later said the owner had told staff not to book more appointments for them. A 2024 customer called a water heater replacement of about $2,500 very expensive. A 2024 customer said they were charged $274.50 per hour to install a kitchen faucet they had bought themselves.
