“Working with Stark Plumbing was a great experience, from start to finish, converting an older two handle shower to a new single handle valve. Colleen helped me work through a lot of the details, and scheduling. Colby, the plumber tech, did a great job, helping through the usual issues we found when opening it up. I'll definitely call them again for any future plumbing needs.”
“What a great experience from start to finish with Stark! From the quick and polite response to our service request, to the friendly and competent service provider, to the fair pricing, we could not have been more pleased.”
