“Not Riley Plumbing, they really botched mine”
“They replaced our cast iron sewer connection and then a few months later replaced our water heater. They’re fantastic, super helpful, super nice, and very reasonable. The work is solid.”
Quick to resolve an issue caused by the plumber I previously hired. Easy going and explained everything.
Quick response. Great communication. Friendly service.
Have been waiting 3 weeks for an estimate on what the plumber and apprentice led us to believe would be a fairly simple, albeit labor intensive, job. Multiple calls to the office only to continue to hear, "we're working on it". They are clearly not interested in the job. Please don't string homeowners along - if you're not interested in the work or not a good fit for the job, don't make us cut holes in our dry wall, have a chummy conversation, then ghost.
Great service. Highly recommend for any plumbing needs. David took the time to fix and explain all of the issues.
