“Jimmy listend, arrived early, took care of the problem, and charged a reasonable price for clearing a problematic clog. He has decades of experience and a level 2 master license.”
“My front yard water main developed a leak at 11AM on a weekday. I reached five plumbers via phone who were all booked up, Jimmy came through with same day service, arriving when he said he would. Replaced a good bit of the line out of the water meter box including swapping the gate valve for a ball valve as well as replacing the check valve.”

Red flag
1-star review: spigot repair left defective after tech departed — part replaced still leaked, caller unable to reach Jimmy despite multiple attempts.
“repair of outdoor frost free spigot leak. replaced a few parts on the spigot itself and tested with a running hose attached. seemed to work fine and no leaks however once he left and i removed the hose the water would not shut off from the spigot. called and he stated he would come back to repair and never did after several attempts to contact.”
Repeat-use pattern: 3rd-time customer in 3 reviews but thin volume (17 analyzed) makes pattern hard to verify at scale.
