The best plumber we have ever had! We had him remodel our master bathroom last month and we have just hired him to remodel our kitchen. He has also done work for my father and for my grandmother. Both loved him! He pays attention to detail and is extremely professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants the job done right. A+++ rating!

Did not do work as promised, did not do work at all.Charged me $150 for 14 minutes. When not paid within 15 days because wouldn't take my credit card as his bill said he would, he messaged me on Sunday father's day and told me to pay up because he was charging $10/day late fees and was going to file a lien against my house. He called 5 times that day with angry threatening messages. This man is a bully and not to be trusted. On Sunday father's day, unbelievable! Was this man even sober I wonder?Needles to say I will be calling Better Business Bureau and my lawyer. Do not let this man on your property.
