“Rich was personable, informative and polite. Explaining everything as it was done and the reasoning behind it. Rich was very knowledgeable and took time to instruct his apprentice as he worked. Luke was eager to learn and Rich did his job, teaching Luke as he did. They were both quite respectful of our home and wore protective shoe covers.”
“Pete E. was fabulous! He’s well qualified and has lots of experience to know exactly what to do. He also came prepared with parts already on his truck. Besides all that—he’s nice! Described everything so we could understand. We’ll be asking for him if we ever have another plumbing problem! 👍🏻”
