I highly recommend Mike and his team for any plumbing needs. He’s incredibly personable and easy to work with, always taking the time to explain what’s going on and what needs to be done. Mike is also extremely reliable — he shows up when he says he will and gets the job done right the first time. His prices are very fair, especially considering the quality of his work. Every job he’s done for me has been top-notch. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, skilled plumber, Mike is your guy!

Mike oversaw a repair to a small section of a wall in our apartment after some internal water damage from a faulty pipe. He and his company did a great job. They were fast, friendly and professional, and their work was impeccable -- you would never know the wall section had been opened. I highly recommend them.

Mike and his team showed up first thing in the morning and got straight to work. They repaired the leak under my kitchen sink, replacing whatever was needed. They were efficient and tidy. The service was reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them for your plumbing needs.
