Always quick to respond, and provide professional service at an affordable price. They are also excellent at suggesting better ways to accomplish the repairs. Very happy with this group.
Spoke with Steve during the recent cold spell were having. Instead of just sending out a tech he gave me some really good tips to trouble shoot my hot water tank problem I was having. Extremely good customer service. They are more focused on your equipment functioning properly then making a quick dollar! I highly recommend these guys. 10/10
From the moment Skyler arrived, his professionalism and poise were immediately evident. He conducted himself with the utmost courtesy and competence, demonstrating both technical expertise and a personable demeanor that made communication effortless. I was particularly impressed by his attentiveness and genuine willingness to understand the scope of the work, ensuring that every detail was addressed with precision. It was reassuring to engage with a highly skilled plumber who not only possessed extensive knowledge of his craft but also validated my concerns without requiring extensive explanation. Skyler understood my needs intuitively and executed the work flawlessly. I am thoroughly satisfied with the outcome and, while I understand company policy may not allow for specific technician requests, I will certainly request Skyler should the opportunity arise in the future.
In the process of remodeling the basement, contracted with JR to conduct the rough drain line installation for our various fixtures. Their estimate was competitively priced but it was the level of service that set them apart. Due to the high water table of the area the job got messier than planned but the crew did great cleaning up and left the workplace cleaner than started. Appreciated also the attention to the project paid by the owner who visited to consult and ensure everything was to my liking. Working with them in next phases as well which is a plus as I can do some work myself with their eye and assistance to call upon if needed.
Used them a couple times and they do good work. They come out quickly but they do charge a steep fee just to come out for an assessment (in the hundreds of dollars before any work is done and it doesn't count toward the actual work.) If you have a smaller project, beware that they will offer you a "don't want to do it" price so make sure you get quotes from other plumbers too.
