“Richard is a great communicator and plumber. He responded to my call promptly and when he arrived at my home he was able to identify the leak and fix it quickly. He also helped with a separate Toto wash let problem that I’ve had for years. Highly recommend”
“I had a clogged pipe in my bathroom and he responded right away, even though he was busy. He showed up exactly when he said he would and fixed the issue quickly. I also asked him to take care of a couple things in my shower, and he handled those immediately. Great service — I’ll definitely call him again!”
