“I've been using Martin for nearly 20 years. He is prompt, honest, and prices have always been better than others. He is good at explaining things and providing different options. It's important to do business with people you trust, and he has always taken care of us.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“If I could rate it no star, I would. I made an appointment a week out because that was the only opening. Based on the reviews, I only made it with this business. Schedule to arrive today 1-3pm. No one showed up. I proceed to text them, they claim they are running behind. I tried to be understanding and agreed to let them come at 5-6pm. It is now 7pm, no show.”
“DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE! Don't believe the other reviews. Unprofessional flakes. My water heater broke. So I have no hot water. Can't shower, can't do laundry, etc. They set a three hour window to come to my home. They texted right before the end of the day and said they couldn't make it. They did not reschedule another time. I was left in limbo without hot water. They didn't answer their phone when I tried to call. …”
“Scheduled appointment for price quote on Water leak detection system; was asked to take pictures of where system would be installed & where main water line into house is; then they scheduled an appointment for Wednesday, April 10, 2024 between 8:00 am - 10:00 am & I verified that there would be no charge for the estimate & I was told no charge. I get call today, day of appointment at 9:35 am & I am told that instead …”
Positive
“I've been using Martin for nearly 20 years. I called a different company because they recently serviced my AC for free as a promotion. They charged me to access the situation, but their quotes were outrageous, and nothing was done to remedy the immediate issue. When I try to support a different company, I come back to him. LOL He is prompt, honest, and prices have always better than others. He is good at explaining …”
“They were great. Gave us options and were very friendly. Got it done quick and were available when needed. Great at communicating with us as well. Going to need to change our boiler next and will definitely be giving them a call.”
