Terrific plumbers. Had Eric come in for an emergency leak and he prioritized ours given the urgency and showed up within 30 mins. Kept communication open and transparent throughout, helped me understand the issues clearly and made sure the repairs and installation to shower and faucet were adequate. They definitely tailor experiences to each clients’ needs which i really appreciate and Eric is a superb plumber to get for almost any issues. Highly recommendPosted on Google![]()

My husband and I were very happy with the replacement of three toilets in our home. On his initial visit, Brad helped diagnose problems we were having with our bathtub drain and one of our toilets. He was very professional and personable, answering all our questions. We subsequently decided to replace our faulty toilet, as well as the other two as we figured the same issue would eventually develop with those as well. On his follow-up appointment for the installation, Brad, along with his assistant, Max, worked quickly and effectively to remove the old toilets and replace them, always there to reply to our questions, and leaving a clean work area when they left. We would highly recommend them for their work.Posted on Google![]()

Vaughn was great! He was pretty sure what the problem was but did his due diligence. He confirmed that we were okay with the invasive work required and, as with all our John the Plumber folks, confirmed the price was okay before proceeding. Will keep using John the Plumber.
