“Clete replaced my water heater and rebuilt 2 of my toilets for a very reasonable price. Not only did he do a great job at a great price, he went above and beyond by explaining to me how my systems worked and what to do in case anything were to happen.”

“Left messages on a Saturday and Sunday, but no call back until Monday morning.”
“Overcharged me for a simple fix on my toilet. Then tried to charge me an additional $150 to finish the job. After I refused, he left only to return minutes later to say he felt bad and didn't want a negative review so he decided to "finish the job" as if he was doing me a favor. Over $200 later, my toilet still needs repair! I also requested for them to sign and state the repairs so that I can return to the water …”
Positive
“Zach and Cleat were great. I called several larger companies on 1/31/26. During the big snow day. No one was able to come out due to the weather. But Zach pulled out the 4 wheel drive and got the job done just before the weather took a turn for the worse. I was in Atl. and the property was in Athens. If they did not show up the leaking water could have caused a lot of damage by the time the other companies would …”
“We received great service today! The service Tech was very courteous, and kind in regards to our embarrassing pipes filled with grease. He was efficient and very sweet to us! We will definitely use them again, and recommend After Hours Plumbing to our friends and family!”
