Please don’t work with these people. They are crooks. I’m taking them to court. Worst experience I’ve ever had hands down with a plumber. Story after story about why work not done. I heard them all even used “people dying” and several “vacation” why work can’t be done yet. It’s over 2yrs and still they can’t clear up a violation. Building department even calling me to clear up violation meanwhile they should have already filed papers. So I’m taking them to court to recoup my money. Big big thumbs down. Zero start but system force me to put a star.
