Timely response to my call. Sent a professional out and he resolved quickly . Neat work and fair price. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10
They did a wonderful job, found the issue, proposed a solution and got to the issue fixed.
I hired Powderhouse after the previous homeowners' plumber proved unable to resolve our issues. Since then, they've handled about half a dozen jobs for us and always get the work done right. Even when unexpected complications arise, their communication is excellent and the pricing remains fair. It's a relief to have such a solid, honest contractor in town. Highly recommended!
Fast, friendly, and efficient! Called in the morning because we had no heat, and they had it fixed before the end of the day. Jared was great to work with. Definitely my go-to plumbers from now on!"
PHP was very quick to respond to our no heat call. They were very professional, fast and knowledgeable! We appreciated them telling us what the issue was and what they were doing to fix. 10/10 service, would highly recommend.
