“Go with Fred Dolan! I have nothing but good things to say about him. Super knowledgeable and helpful. Our heater was out and he made it a priority to come out to our home the same day I called. He answered all of our questions, explained the issue thoroughly, and got our heater working until we could get an electrician out (our problem was electrical). We have a very old heater system so I'm sure I'll be calling him …”
“I recently had a bad sewer smell line issue under my garage, and Fred went above and beyond from start to finish. Fred was the only plumber who approached the situation with patience, honesty, and real expertise. I highly recommend Fred to anyone who needs a trustworthy professional who treats your home like his own.”
