    Matt provided outstanding service throughout what turned out to be a very unusual situation with my…read morewater heater. He installed a brand-new water heater, and when it appeared there was still an issue, he went above and beyond by replacing it a second time to make sure the problem wasn't with the unit itself. Ultimately, we discovered that the real issue was an electrical problem with my circuit breaker, not the water heaters. What impressed me most was Matt's honesty, professionalism, and commitment to helping me get the issue resolved. Even after determining the problem was electrical, he worked with me on pricing and generously discounted his services so I could put those savings toward getting the breaker repaired. It's rare to find someone who genuinely prioritizes helping the customer over simply completing a job. Matt was responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly fair throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him and his company to anyone in need of plumbing or water heater services.

    We changed a damaged water heater at our property and Philos were amazing and very prompt. I can't…read moreemphasize enough on their professional and quick work. I called a day earlier and the job was completed next day, they were also willing to do it the same day. Shout out to Matt who handled the case and was very informative and thorough with the details prior to work at a very reasonable price. Thanks again and highly recommended business for water heater replacement service.

    James is very responsive; however, if I could give Jeff, the plumber, a negative star I would do…read moreso. I made it very clear that my sink needed to be snaked. I made it very clear that the technician bring a drop cloth to place over my hardwood flooring, towels to wipe up water, and a bucket/pan to place underneath the sink to catch any water. This should be standard of any plumber that shows up to any home. No customer should have to tell a plumbing company this. None of these items were brought by the technician, Jeff. Instead, Jeff just showed up with a very dirty and rusted snake in a contractor bag, the smallest of rags, and no pan/bucket. Jeff dragged the dirty snake all over the hardwood flooring, ended up using my tenant's towels and pan - and he was slower than molasses in doing the job...he kept taking breaks while on the job. My tenant actually took the pan of water to the bathroom to empty in the toilet. Jeff failed to connect all of the snake together the first time - so he had to snake it a second time and add more links to the snake. Horrible experience. Just horrible. I will never again be using or recommending this company. I feel I was ripped off when it came to the amount charged as well. The high ratings shown do not reflect my experience at all. I don't like to give negative reviews - but I feel this one is definitely needed.

    David is very thorough and communicative. He walked me through our plumbing issues and was happy to…read moregive less costly repair options if we didn't want to replace components (which would be more expensive and labor intensive). His prices are fair and explanations are helpful. I appreciate that he answered all of my questions patiently and in a way I could understand -- even if it meant he had to repeat himself lol. He also didn't try to upsell us on unnecessary repairs! I'm very happy with the customer service and the completed work.
