The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I needed some minor plumbing work done so I could have the city hook up a second water meter for my irrigation system. I scheduled an appointment with Hudson Plumbing and asked if they could provide a "ball park" estimate 2 weeks prior to coming out. They never called me back prior to showing up and did the work while I was at work and my wife was home. They charged $575 for 2 hours worth of work and not even a …”
“I needed a simple "screw fitting" installed on my hot water line shut-off valve in order to install a new dishwasher. I called Hudson Plumbing and told them what I needed and asked about pricing. I was told it was $69 just to come out, but she couldn't tell me anything more. Okay, I get all that.

Positive
“This fall, we were in desperate need for a good plumber when our tankless hot water heater broke. We took a chance on Hudson Plumbing because they service and install our brand of hot water heater. Boy, are we glad we did! Mike has had to come back a couple more times since then for unrelated plumbing repairs and every time he is nothing but professional and friendly. He has many years of experience in his field …”
“In my opinion, you will not find a more solid plumber than Mike Hudson. Mike has worked on 3 different projects for our family and we never had the slightest problem with his work or his professionalism. Selecting a plumber is one time when you don't want to skimp on a untrained, non-professional. "Pay cheap, pay twice" comes to mind. Mike was worth every penny and he's a great guy to work with.”
