"I am very satisfied with this company. Their customer service and responsiveness is top notch. What I appreciated the most is while other plumbers had objections about my project, the guys from InstaPlumbing were solution oriented. They definitely knew what to do! Also, the price they quoted me was very fair compared to other price quotes received from other plumbers (the ones with objections)."
"Let's be honest: plumbing isn't cheap. But, you really shouldn't want to cheap out on your plumber, considering how important plumbing is to your convenience and comfort, not to mention your health and well-being. We've used Matt and his crew twice: once to convert a closet into a two-piece powder room and once to fix a kitchen drain that was leaking in the wall and dripping into the basement. It smelled awful. Regardless of the size of the jobs Matt and his crew have tackled for us, they've done the work promptly, correctly, and at a reasonable price. He's a good guy, too -- friendly, courteous, responsive and makes sure his crew members model that same behavior. You can trust Matt to do what he says he'll do."
"He was great, friendly, on time, efficient and affordable. All fixed and working great. I would call him with any other plumbing need I ever have. Highly recommended."
"Quick response time, good communication, professional, and thorough. Pipe is fixed and draining well, workspace was left clean, and pricing was very fair & in range of quote. Highly recommend!"
"Frank was very thorough. I had a new dishwasher install and he came to look at the setup and quote the job, and turned out he did the job the same day in the timeframe he quoted. He went through everything he did and made sure I was satisfied. I know he values his work when he said he warranties his work from any issues that may arise. I think I found my plumber for all my future plumbing needs!"
"After 35 years working in home improvements I dealt with lot of plumbers and to keep it short Todd and Mike are top professionals in their field! Knowledgeable, dependable and after dealing with most of plumbers in my area they are the only one that responded to my needs!"
"Mark from Water Heater Medic did an outstanding job. From the first phone call to determine the price to setting up my appointment to the actual installation, everything was terrific. After determinating that my water heater replacement/installation in the basement would not be a complicated one (e.g., no stairs, no tight spaces), he gave me a bit of a discount. The final price he quoted me was lower than everyone else. (I would say much lower because I don't want to give the impression that his price was suspiciously cheap in exchange for shoddy work. his work was in fact excellent and an outstanding value.) Setting the appointment was quick and painless. Mark worked around my busy schedule, which I very much appreciated. During the installation, Mark kept me informed of what he was doing. The whole process only took about an hour and he left my home just as clean as it was before he arrived. I will use Water Heater Medic for all of my future water heater needs and would definitely recommend them."
