Arrived when he said he would. Removed old water heater and shed. Ran new gas line and installed tankless water heater. From my observance, he did a great job and left the job site clean and free of the old heater and shed. Excellent job.
Description of Work: Installed new tankless water heater, filter and backflush kit. Had to run new 3/4" gas line.

I found this plumber on Angie's list and decided based on the reviews to call him. My cousin contacted him to do some work on our duplex. He came, on time and that's the nicest thing I can say. He was a grouch from moment one. He did snake the pipe in the upstairs bathroom - without removing the trap since he obviously didn't want to take any extra time. When he was asked about doing a job in the downstairs apartment, he said he was too busy that day and would have to come back. He has never called back but it's just as well since we wouldn't subject ourselves to that torture again. What a jerk!
Description of Work: He used a snake on the upstairs apartment's bathroom.

Stephen is a very pleasant person, always takes the time to do a good, quality job. Cleans up. I would definitely recommend this company. I will do another job with him next week as well.
Description of Work: I am remodeling my kitchen and during the demo one of the pipes from the sink/dishwasher got damaged and was leaking. Stephen came over pretty quickly and fixed it. The following week, he ran a water line for my new fridge and updated all the plumbing outlets for my new kitchen appliances. (I am sure he did more stuff, but as I am not a plumber, I cannot go into better detail).

Wow - Steve is fantastic. He did a great job fixing a severe leak in our crawl space under the house. Called him at 7am on a Sat morning and sent an email. He called back at 8am and said he could be here by 10:30am. Showed up on time and ready to work. Took him about 15 minutes to assess the situation. Access was very tight and he had to do work on his back and side. He was done in 45 minutes. I'm having him come back in a week to fix our bathtub drain.

It was uncomfortable, overhead work in cramped space. He was very concerned to be as neat as possible and cleaned up well afterward. I was very impressed.
Description of Work: On a Saturday afternoon, he came out when we had a gushing leak from the ceiling in a guest bedroom. He kept looking until he found the pinhole leak in a copper supply pipe to an adjoining bathroom--it had obviously been leaking a long time and water pooled in a low spot in the ceiling till it flooded thru.

Everything went fine. It was too long ago to remember mundane details.
Description of Work: Two new toilets were installed, one required moving the drain pipe for better drainage. Older cast iron piping was also replaced. Tasks had to be coordinated with the person putting in the new floor.

He did an excellent job! He is an excellent Plumber. He is very efficient. We have used him 3-4 times. He always comes on time. He does things quick and right. The leak was getting the whole wall wet. He came and found the leak right away and was gone within 1/2 hour.

We have used Stephen before with excellent results - finding him based on reviews in Angie's List. The last visit was many years ago, but his quality and service delivery continues to be fabulous. He does not ASK for these glowing reviews when he finishes his work. What you will get when you call him for a job is a full journeyman plumber who knows all facets of the business. You can take any problem to him and he will get it solved. He gets the work done quickly, and charges what is fair based on what needs to get done. The work is clearly top-quality. He does not attempt to seel anything un-needed, and yet he also will give recommendations based on what he sees. When you have water leaking from inside your walls, you will wonder if the fix will be thousands of dollars. With Stephen, I knew going in that he would only do that which was necessary AND that he would know exactly what was needed. The service call proceeded exactly that way, and I am a very happy customer.
Description of Work: We had in-ceiling plumbing leaks. Water was dripping from our ceiling in the garage. Hi-Performance came to the house, figured out what was wrong, and made the repair.

He is my preferred plumber. I always call him to do the plumbing jobs. He is really good. It was a fair price. He is just a great guy. He does a great job. He is always on time. He charges me a fair price compared to the bigger guys. He is a great plumber. He is usually at the top as far as the plumbers in the area. He is pretty well known on Angie's List as far as getting recommendations. He is not expensive but he is not super cheap. He is fair. I would definitely use him again in the future.

Michael was very professional. He returned my call promptly and arrived on time. He diagnosed the problem and rather than suggest work that could have cost hundreds he gave us another option that made sense. We have finally found a plumber that we can trust!

They completed the work. It was quite a small job. They fixed it up. They responded the same day we called. Wer could not use the kitchen sink for one day. They looked at it and said they would be back the next day. The price was very reasonable. They showed up, where multiple plumbers had just kept temporarily fixing it. He ended up taking out all of the extras and made it just a regular pipe. We had everything very accessible for him. I felt the price was reasonable. He was very friendly.

The pipe repair went quickly, smoothly, and over a year later, the repair has held up. The slow drain did not need servicing. The pressure relief valve was repaired without incident.
Description of Work: I have used Steve at Hi-Performance Plumbing on three occasions, once to repair a leak in copper pipe behind a wall, once to diagnose a slow drain, and once to replace a pressure relief valve on my water heater. Steve is punctual, professional, and charges fair rates. I have referred him to a colleague, who also commended the service. I would not hesitate to use Steve again, or to refer him to others.

Woke up to find a puddle in my guest room. Called Hi Performance Plumbing around 10a and Stephen and his assistant arrived at my house around 2p; he kept in touch via phone to let me know what time he was arriving. Very professional. First day, I did not have a clean out drain, so Stephen had to dig out my drain pipe and cut a whole in it. He then snaked the drain and found a root growing into my drain pipe. He returned the next day and installed a clean out drain for future use. Very clean - left his muddy boots outside of my house. Felt bad cuz he walked around in my flooded bathroom in his socks! Truck is very organized and clean. I did not shop around - I only went off of the Angies List recommendations and feedback. I would recommend this company again and plan to call them in the future.

Came home from vacation to find a dead hot water heater. Called Steve the next morning using the Angie's List information. First time using him. He had two stops to make before getting to us but kept in touch very well. Arrived pretty much as he indicated he would. Got right after the work. Very professional. One of the other reviewers suggested Steve wasn't the cheapest guy around and that may be. But I got what I wanted -- a good water heater and quick, professional service. Recommended and I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Steve installed a new (Rheem) 40-gallon gas hot water heater, tweaked all the connections, and was here and gone in about three hours. Also hauled away the old heater.

When Stephen and his assistant, Raphael, came out to repair my water heater, they discoverd it just needed to be cleaned out. Stephen proceeded to clean the area around the heater and got it working right away. I have not come into contact with a contractor as honest and trustworthy as Mr. Hume. He always goes above and beyond for his customers and provides the utmost customer service. In my experience you get more than your moneys worth with Stephen and you will never want any other plumber once you become accustomed to the highest quality of work which Stephen provides.

While taking a shower, the water backed up in the shower and the adjacent bathtub. It also backed up in the family room toilet and shower. I left a message on Stephen's machine around midnight .He promptly called me the next morning. When he came out and took a look at everything, he suggested installing a cleanout valve on the drainpipe. After it was installed, he put a camera into the drainpipe to check it out. He discovered the blockage and took care of it. He also inspected the condition of the cast iron drain pipe and clay pipes. He said that they were okay. He was friendly and very professional.
