Red flag
One review documents catastrophic job execution on a critical repair—7 failed attempts at a gate valve installation with 'bad solder joints' on first pass and work described as resembling a 'toddler playing with Lincoln Logs.' Company's remedy offer (redo work requiring additional drywall cutting and material replacement outside original quote) left customer unable to close the loop.
“water leaks everywhere, bad solder joints...7 repair attempts”
Quality control failure on complex soldering work: internal water main valve replacement required 7 repair attempts with progressively deteriorating workmanship, ultimately leaving drywall damage unresolved and customer unsatisfied

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Needed an internal (condo unit) water main gate valve to be replaced, which required water to be shut off to the compound and drained. No worries (second set of plumbers) – able to isolate and drain buildings well ahead of forecasted (costed) time. Should have been a “simple” sweat out, sweat in replacement. Technician seemed confident. First pass – water leaks everywhere, bad solder joints. Second attempt …”
Positive
“Dominic, Shad, & Joe of Power Plumbing did an amazing job! They were ahead of schedule, communicative, professional, courteous, & clean!! I highly recommend this team for ALL your plumbing needs!!”
“CJ from Power Plumbing was very courteous and professional. He did a great a job unclogging our kitchen sink. The price was reasonable and very much worth it. I highly recommend him and Power Plumbing.”
