Great experience with John The Plumber for a second time, different issue. Received10% discount as a returning client. Elia showed up at expected time and provided fast, friendly and efficient service which was also my experience with their first visit 2yrs ago repairing pipes. He left everything clean and informed the work is warranteed. Elia also took time to explain details to help prevent the problem from recurring which was truly helpful.

Thank you, plumber Justin, for your excellent work, advice and positive client experience! Justin showed up on time and didn't leave until everything was fully fixed. He was professional, super friendly and gave good advice. I was able to get an appointment within a day to deal with a waterline when my old fridge broke down after 24 years. Justin also took care of a shower issue that I asked him to look at and he took the time to deal with that. I always call John The Plumber whenever work needs to be done at our house, because they are responsive and reliable. Their plumbers consistently impress me with their friendly and positive attitude on top of their high quality work.

I had a great experience with Owen. He was on time, got to work immediately, told me about my options after he finished his initial inspection and about the price. Owen was professional, knowledgeable and caring about doing his work. I recommend John The Plumber and I will use them for any future repairs or installation. Thank you
