The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“First time we used him, he was awesome. I even recommended him to my parents & he did their work right away. I called for a second repair and never heard back so we called a different plumber who said Al the Plumber retired (lied to get the business), then months later Al the Plumber finally called back. We had more work to do so he came out a few months ago w a contractor (Harris) to redo our bathroom but now it’s …”
Positive
“I hope people realize there is a guy named AL doing plumbing out of Royersford who trades off the good name of AL The Plumber on Saylor's Mill Road, Spring City. They are not the same, and I do not recommend the Royersford guy at all.”
“Al did a great job replacing my hot water tank. Responded on a Sunday and got me back up and running in no time. Would recommend and I know who I’ll be using for any future issues”
