​I had a great experience with Aaron from John the Plumber. He repaired the leak on my home salon shampoo sink quickly and cleanly, and took the time to walk me through the problem and explain his approach so I understood the work being done. It’s rare to find that level of transparency and quality service. Will definitely call Aaron again!

Had a heat pump water heater installed. The removal of the old tank went smoothly, the techs were professional and knowledgeable, and the new tank installation was successful. Very smooth process from start to finish.

Great work overall. Response time was fast during an emergency leak and final repairs were done efficiently. Our plumber, Owen, was very professional and friendly and was happy to meet all of our requests. I would recommend both John the Plumber as a business and Owen as a tech. Thanks!

Steve was early in my time slot of 1-4pm which was much appreciated. He addressed the issue quickly and was professional, polite and informative. He also informed me of additional info about the water heater that he noticed while completing a job for the laundry sink which was incredibly helpful.
