I recently hired this plumbing service for a leaking pipe under my kitchen sink, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the first phone call, Justine was professional, friendly, and quick to schedule an appointment. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free. When Brandon arrived, he was right on time, explained the issue clearly, and provided a fair estimate before starting the work. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and made sure everything was fixed properly. What really impressed me was how clean and organized he kept the workspace — no mess left behind. The repair was completed faster than expected, and the pricing was transparent with no hidden fees. It’s such a relief to find a reliable team you can trust. I will definitely use their services again and highly recommend Brandon and Justine to anyone looking for honest, high-quality plumbing work
I called S&J Plumbing to repair a leak that developed behind the wall in our bathroom. Joe was able to get me on the schedule and sent Mark Lindeman out a few hours later. Mark was very nice, very knowledgeable, talented and informative. He noticed our tankless water heater and knew the unit and started telling us about it and how it needs to be maintained (I had no idea) and suggested other items he noticed that could be issues in the future. He wasn’t being a pushy salesman - just an experienced advisor. He did an excellent job with the repair and he was a pleasure to speak with. I definitely recommend S&J Plumbing and, in particular, Mark Lindeman. Thank you for fitting us into todays schedule.
I called S&J Plumbing as I had a great experience with them in the past. Plumbing issues can be so stressful, and Art, the technician that came to our home today, was so patient and thorough in every area, from diagnosis, to a repair that took several hours, coordinating a *second team for another issue, and in offering multiple recommendations to make sure the problem with our lines wouldn’t happen again. Art told me that he really enjoys his work, and it is very satisfying when he can help resolve issues for customers, and that truly showed today. I am never at a loss for words, but I can’t begin to tell you what a great job he did today, and today involved a lot of hard work. In addition, *Mike N and Justin arrived a few hours into the job to replace a key piece of cast iron that sits between the toilet and the main line. I had no idea how many aspects there were to that piece of the job, and Mike and Justin also exceeded my expectation in every way. Mike and Justin were equally friendly and knowledgeable, and told me they also really enjoy their work and find it very rewarding to help solve customer’s plumbing issues. These gentlemen didn’t miss any details and at the end, didn’t rush out, but thoroughly cleaned the job site, and put everything away for me. It is very obvious these three gentlemen take great pride in their work and in their company. I highly recommend this company. The picture that I included in my review is “after”. Had I been able to take a picture of the “before” you would have seen piles of sopping wet towels trying to stop a flooded floor from causing additional damage.
Had to have all our galvanized pipes replaced with copper pipes. Starting with Nick who came out to check out the problem and give us an estimate to Dennis and Robbie who came to our home and did a phenomenal job. Both Dennis and Robbie were pleasant, professional and courteous. Answered all our questions and gave us a tour of what they did and what they were going to do. I felt comfortable with both of them and their knowledge of our problem was exceptional. The clean up afterwards was wonderful and I would recommend SandJ for any plumbing problems you have or may encounter in the future. They are definitely our go to plumbers for any future problems. All three men were great representatives of the company.
Nick Y and Nick L did a massive 2 day job in my crawl space with excellence, professionalism, and great craft. They explained everything as they worked, left my place very clean during and after, answered all my questions and concerns. I feel like my home is safe for years to come.
