“My landlord sent over a plumber who seemed really unprofessional and honestly wack. They were two guys in a Honda Element with a decal that said Stanley Harris and Son's.”
“Apparently the guy is famously bad!! He is operating under a new company name because the old one probably got sued into oblivion. Previously Plumb Perfect, now operating under the alias Stanley Harris and Sons Plumbing.”

I’ve used Stanley Harris & Sons Plumbing and Heating several times and they have always done outstanding work. Most recently they repaired a leaking pipe under our kitchen sink. Stan was courteous, knowledgeable, and completed the repair quickly. They are my go-to choice for plumbing in Burlington VT
Worker showed up drunk at my house. Did not ask before installing components, then charged me for them. No show at least 3 times. Impossible to get a receipt for purchases or any type of time spent on the job accountability. The worst experience ever. Ask if they are licensed in Vermont, my search says no.
