Description of Work: fix a problem from a previous plumber, which even though it was still under warranty we were told "to busy-- call the manufacturer" We were without hot water for 2 days. Gary worked with us and even discounted his price because of the extensive issues we have had with the previous plumber. Thank you!!

They were great to work with and they were flexible with my timeline. Very helpful with the city inspector and the work was done neatly and looks great (works great too). They took the time to answer all my questions. I would hire them again.

They came to take a look at the water heater we had to see if it could be fixed and it was a lost cause. They quickly found a replacement and brought it over, installed it and removed the old one. Easy and quick! We were very happy with their service and friendly professionalism.

GARY HAD TO COME BACK FOR A FINAL REPAIR A FEW WEEKS LATER SINCE THE DAMAGE THE OTHER CONTRACTOR DID WAS MORE EXTENSIVE THAN FIRST REVEALED, HE WAS HERE AND GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT. THEY GET A THUMBS UP FROM ME AND A BIG THANKS.
Description of Work: THIS COMPANY 'BAILED ME OUT' WHEN ANOTHER CONTRACTOR SEVERED MY SEPTIC LINE. WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS OF THE CALL GARY STOPPED BY TO DO AN EMERGENCY REPAIR. I INCURRED NO COST SINCE THIS WAS BILLED TO THE CONTRACTOR THAT DAMAGED THE SEPTIC PIPE.
