In a 2023 review, a customer said they had a water leak and a hard time finding a plumber; Matt called back, came out, diagnosed the source of the leak and fixed it. A 2022 customer said the company installed a new well tank and hooked up their refrigerator to the water. In 2023, a customer said Matthew and Shannon came by to do a few different jobs around an old home. A 2023 customer who bought a house where Matt Bickford had installed a new furnace said he came out to look at adding heating on the second floor and said he was 4 weeks out; six weeks later, that customer said, he had not done the work and would not return a phone call.

I bought a house last year that Matt Bickford had installed a new furnace in. I wanted to add on to the heating on the second floor and so I contacted him to do the work thinking that he installed the furnace, he would be familiar with the house. Matt came out to the house looked at the job and said he would do it but he was 4 weeks out. I agreed to wait untill he was freed up. He has now given me the runaround and wasted 6 weeks of my time. He is so unprofessional, will not even call me to tell me he won't do the work for me, or return a phone call. It really shows what type of a man a person is when they would jeopardize a person's ability to stay warm this close to winter. As for being a plumber, I wouldn't trust him to turn on a water valve.
Great experience with Matt and his team. We had a water leak, and had a hard time finding a plumber to help us. Matt called back, came out, diagnosed the source of the leak and fixed it. Super nice, efficient, and professional!
Matthew and Shannon came by today to do a few different jobs around my old home. They've been excellent since the first time I reached out and a pleasure to work with. I will always call them when I'm in need. Very knowledgeable, responsive and professional (and very nice my 3 attention seeking pups! LOL)
They installed a new well tank and hooked up our refrigerator to the water.
