What reviewers praise
Holiday dispatch confirmed: plumber arrived under 1 hour on MLK Day after first-thing-Monday call for a weekend tub/shower failure
1 cited review
“Wow! Our tub/shower broke on a Friday just before a Monday holiday. I wasn't expecting a call until Tuesday, but first thing on Monday, I got a call from Ashley, who told me a plumber could come out today (MLK Day). A great plumber, Chuck, came out less than an hour later and got it fixed in just over an hour, which was fantastic!”

“Had to have my very old water heater replaced. H.J. Pertzborn was great. They responded quickly and the technician was really knowledgeable and friendly. All for a fair price. I will definitely use them again. Highly recommend!”
