“Called on a Sunday night, holiday weekend. First priority was saving us money and getting us the help we needed. Waited til Monday morning and got a text first thing from the company. Told them I still wanted the assistance and they sent technician within 2 hours. After a 15 minute visit by Patrick and quick fix my hot water was up and running again. He knew exactly what to do, and saved us from buying a new water heater.”

“Rob’s Plumbing was excellent, timely, efficient, and truly reliable. I called first thing Monday morning and within a couple of hours they were at my place of business, quickly troubleshot the issue, and had it resolved within the hour. They’ve become my go-to plumber, and I highly recommend them if you want efficient service and people who actually show up and get it done.”
