Couldn’t find a plumber that was able to do a very difficult job until I called Bill. He knew exactly how to fix my plumbing problem. Bill is experienced, honest , prompt and reasonable! Thank you so much!
Bill did the plumbing for my kitchen and bathroom renovation in Hanover. He also added a bathroom on our second floor. His knowledge of the trade, communication, neatness, and attention to detail made our project a lot less stressful. He was able to explain every step of the process clearly to my wife and I. It was noticeable that he treats your house as if he was working on his own. I highly recommend Bill for any of your plumbing needs.
Quick, easy and friendly service.
We were in a race to replace our hot water heater before its slow leak got worse. Bill was great to communicate with. We were lucky and the hot water heater was covered under warranty. Once I got the return authorization number, Bill took care off the rest. He promptly came on our scheduled day and was able to swap out the hot water heater in no time. Bill was friendly, clean and very efficient. I would highly recommend Bill for your plumbing needs
I had an emergency with my water heater and I needed a plumber to replace it however many plumbers had no time and their price was out of control until I received a call back in 10 minutes leaving a message. Bill worked with trying very hard to make sure I received a water heater under my warrantee and finding a warehouse that was not going to charge a large fee, Bill is now our family's plumber and we are grateful for having not just a great plumber but also knowing that we have a baby in the house he made sure to make us a priority to get the job done! I have recommended him to many of my family and friends!
