"I recently had a water heater installed by Orkie with Home Improvement Specialists,and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. The technician Orkie arrived on time and was professional and courteous throughout the installation. He explained everything he was doing and made sure I understood how to operate the new water heater before he left. The installation was completed in a timely manner and the technician left my home clean and tidy. I've been using my new water heater for a few weeks now and it's working perfectly. I would highly recommend Orkie with Home Improvement Specialists to anyone in need of a water heater installation or replacement.”

Timeliness is important. So we give times when we will be there, and we will be there on time. You have a life to live and it does not revolve around waiting on a service professional saying we will be there sometime.

They were quick to respond, showed up when they said they would. They installed a water heater, expansion tank, tested and cleaned up after themselves in about an hour and a half. Reasonably priced, I would definitely recommend.

Job went well. Orkie was very adaptable to timing this with my and the electricians availability. He got it done on a Friday night and got all the smart screen stuff going great and scrapped the old unit by recycling it. He even left me with a bunch of pipe insulation for no extra charge. Defitely recommend!

changing from a tank style water, gas water heater to an electric heat pump style (hybrid) water heater takes a little longer and requires some extra piping, but we were glad to do it. Thank you [Member Name Removed] for allowing us the opportunity to serve you.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Outstanding customer service! Orkie was able to replace my Mom's water heater the same day I contacted him. He even picked it up for us. We are so grateful and truly appreciative of his professionalism and expertise. He was on time and left the area cleaner than he found it.

Sometimes that little extra work pays off in big dividends. We picked up the customer ordered water heater so the project was not delayed by waiting for the delivery driver. [Member Name Removed] is from out of town helping her mom get a new water heater. we know that can be stressful, and we were glad for the trust to aid in that process. Thank you [Member Name Removed].

We showed up thinking we had everything we needed, but sometimes old houses have special needs. a tight spot, and galvanized piping were the challenge here, but we rose to the occasion and delivered a quality job at no extra cost to the customer. Thank you, [Member Name Removed] for that recommendation.

Before selecting Mr. Bradly, I also checked with several of the other plumbing services suggested on Angi's list. His pricing was slightly lower than the others. Our water heater replacement went very well. Mr. Bradley was accommodating to work with my schedule. He arrived at the scheduled time and accomplished the work in the estimated time frame. I would highly recommend his service.

[Member Name Removed] had family coming in from out of town and they needed hot water fast. They called another company who could to the job fast, but oh the cost of that project gave them cause for hesitation. That's when they hired us. we got the project done that afternoon and saved them a bundle of money. thank you, [Member Name Removed].

Copper is the standard of excellence in the field of plumbing, even today. While some may speed up the process by using slip joint connections and flex lines, we still use the old stand by, professionally installed copper tubing. That does not mean we will never use flex lines, sometimes they are unavoidable. But if you have copper when we start, you will have copper when we finish. We are also skilled in the use of PEX and other piping materials where the needs arise. Thank you, [Member Name Removed], for that recommendation.
