There had been a persistent slow drip for our bathtub faucet for two years or more. Two other plumbers had looked at it and concluded that the only fix was to rip out the wall and replace the entire fixture. We were getting ready to do just that, when I decided to have Mike Schmitz look at it. Within 45 minutes, had run to the hardware store, purchased the proper replacement parts, installed them, and stopped the leak.

I have used Schmitz plumbing 3 times in the past 5 years. They are always professional, perform quality work at a fair price, and leave the work area clean. This call they replaced an outside faucet. I will use them again and highly recommend them.

It was a very positive experience. The guys also did some pipe work as our old softener bypassed the kitchen for some reason. Mike and Bill were SO helpful, courteous, and patient with all of our questions. We know they will stand behind their work and their product. It's great to find someone who lives and works in the same community where they have known everyone for years. We know we could call them any time.

Schmitz Brothers Plumbing have been our plumbers for almost 40 years. Their father was our plumber before he retired and the sons took over. We have known Mike Schmitz since he was 16 yrs. when he started working with his father. They have always done wonderful work! Very quick to return calls. Always on time unless their is an emergency then they will call. We have had all our pipes replaced in my mothers 75 year old home. A few water heaters in 45 years. Sink, toilet,sewer vents. All this has been done on my mothers house through the years by Schmitz Bro. We have never had any problems. I now have them working at my home which is 9 years old. These men our honest, trust worthy and very dependable. They never over price or try to get you to replace more than is necessary. I never worry about them being in my home alone if I have to run errands. Mike is such a great guy and I will always have him do our plumbing work. He never gets frustrated if you have questions about the job. Some contractors we have had don't want us talking to them. When I pay for a job if I have a question regarding the work I want an answer. Mike has always been ok answering questions while he's working. I would recommend Schmitz Brothers plumbing to everyone I know. I also would like to say as my parents get older you always worry about having people come to their home to do work if you are not able to be present. We know how people take advantage of senior citizens.But Schmitz Brothers Plumbing is one company you would never have to worry about as a kid with elderly parents. I'm always at ease when I have to send them to my parents house and I cannot be there. Thank you Schmitz Bro. for you years of service with us. You are just the greatest!!! You will continue to be our plumbers!!!

they have fixed everything from a steam boiler to a simple leak.
Description of Work: I have used Schmitz Bros many times. They simply know what they are doing. Old school. I have had many problems fixed by them that my so called handyman couldn't fix. I use them at my house and my rental units. They might not be the cheapest but they will fix it right the first time.

Everything works perfectly. The thing that was really helpful to me was that they installed 8 isolation valves in the water lines, so that I can replace gaskets as needed.
Description of Work: They replaced an old faucet and sprayer in our kitchen, and replaced the drain lines with copper. Replaced an old laundry sink in the basement. Cleaned our pressure gauge. They also worked on my whole house heating system downstairs.

Mike found two things that could have been dangerous. We had a releif valve that was stuck. He had to replace that valve and it has worked perfectly. He cleaned all the burners and really got the furnace working great. We were really happy. He has done several jobs for us and we have always been satisfied. We would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: They came in and re-conditioned our heating system. He also fixed a leaking faucet in our kitchen.

We've had them for quite a few years. They come to fix anything the same day I call or by the next day. I've had them for different things; business and home. It always goes well; I couldn't complain at all about them. I hope I never have to go to another plumber.
