The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Only call if you want to pay three times what the job is worth. Total rip off!”
“Had this guy out to set up a leak detector. He installed but never showed me how to use it. City just called me to tell me I had a leak for the last month. Very disappointed with him.”
Positive
“Service is quick, the owner Ricci is a professional and his work reflects this. If you’re looking for quality work at competitive prices give him a call. He also provided some insight on other home projects I was working on (general repair/construction), he was clean and thorough, and also provided maintenance instructions for a newly repaired garbage disposal. I will continue to use Heritage for all my …”
“I highly recommend Heritage Home & Plumbing! They helped us in a last minute situation and resolved the issue quickly and thoroughly.”
