Positive
“We had Patterson Plumbing out to look into a few issues and he gave us good honest advice, put in a new valve, cleaned our drain, and improved our kitchen sink piping for a price that seems quite reasonable. We'd been quoted a much bigger price for a bigger project and I think he addressed the issues in a smarter way for less money. Definitely going to call Ivan Patterson again the next time we have a plumbing issue!”
“Ivan removed our old kitchen faucet and installed a new one. He was quick, efficient and very pleasant. He's our go-to plumber from now on!”
