Kevin and Nate first pre-plumbed our drains and well runs before the concrete floor was poured and as soon as the inside was ready for the rough in they came back and worked with us on the locations of everything and talked us through what they would be doing and when. We felt totally comfortable during the entire project. We decided to do some of the finish work ourselves (they installed the hot water heater) and have had to call Kevin a few times to ask questions about the rough in and he answers the phone and is always glad to help us. I wouldn't go to anyone else for plumbing work in the future.
Description of Work: Kevin and Nate Watson installed all the plumbing in our new building near Boone. We have used Kevin in the past and he is very professional, knowledgable and easy to converse with on project details. This was the first time Nate has worked with us and he is equally professional and knowledgable. We like working with the Watson's because they work with you on alternatives and options and seem more like a partner in the project as opposed to coming out and seeing the site and then just mailing a bid. They discuss the options in detail with you and will quote the job any way you would like. We also wanted to do a portion of the work ourselves and they were totally open to this and worked around our wants and needs.

I've always felt that Kevin and Al, his assistant, are very good at what they do. They explain things, not in a way that sounds boastful about their abilities, but in a way that shows that they know their stuff. I've never had any subsequent trouble with any work they've done.
Description of Work: The few times I've needed a plumber since I bought my current house in 1998, I've called Kevin. He was recommended by a friend who's a good home handyman himself and therefore whose opinion I trust in these matters, and Kevin has always lived up to the reputation. He's installed the shower and drain hardware in my bathroom, repaired on short notice an outside spigot that suddenly burst into my basement; he's installed my new water heater, and his assistant (who is also excellent) installed our new dishwasher and hooked up the water to our new refrigerator. When Kevin came to fix the burst outside spigot, he mentioned that if I had any other little things I needed done, that it would cost less if I had him do them in the same visit instead of scheduling another visit, so I pointed out a few things that he then did, including putting a new switch on my old sump pump.

He has been doing work for me for 14 or 15 years. He didn't charge me for the last visit. He is very knowledgeable and he can fix anything. He is friendly and he knows his stuff.
Description of Work: I used Watson Plumbing because I had a flood in my basement so I bought a super dooper sump pump. He came and fine tuned it and made adjustments.

Out of the four plumbers I contacted, two replied. His quote was more detailed and I was familiar with his work, so we chose him. He was able to start the work in a weeks time. We are always satisfied with his work.
Description of Work: I had him install a new water heater, a new efficient toilet, a new shower wand and new bathtub fixtures.
