Hosford Plumbing is an amazing family-owned business. Mark and his son are doing the field work, while his wife is handling the office. We had a water heater leak and were stuck without hot water. Mark was able to troubleshoot the problem over the phone with me sending pictures of our installation. This saved a roundtrip to just look at the situation and got us back up and running in 2 days. He brought the new water heater and also noticed a few valves that needed to be replaced. The install took a good while but they explained everything in detail, and did a great job. Mark is more than willing to give you advice over the phone and he is very knowledgeable about various plumbing installations. We can only highly recommend Hosford Plumbing and will use them again. read more

When my new washer was delivered, my very old cold water valve broke. Mark identified the issue via text photos, brought the correct replacement and John installed. Although he had to cut a hole in the drywall to access the pipes, John's work was neatly done with obvious care for my home. All at a reasonable cost as well. I am so happy to have Hosford as "my" plumbers. read more

Mark was fantastic to work with. My hot water tank in my vacation home sprung a leak. I needed a new hot water tank and Hosford Plumbing came to the rescue. We were able to handle the details over the phone. Mark and his son removed the damaged hot water tank and installed the new tank with all new fittings. Excellent communication, fast efficient, detailed and reasonably priced. When and if I need a plumber for future issues I will definitely be calling Hosford Plumbing. read more

Highly recommend this family owned plumbing business. They installed our whole house water filtration system to my husband's strict standards. Thanks!! read more

We're thoroughly impressed with this family business - from scheduling, to John's attention to detail, and fair pricing. We had condensation inside our hot water heater, incidentally noted by Scott of Twin Plumbing; he recommended calling Mark Hosford. Their expertise is evident. John took the time to check for other potential causes of the problem, and explained clearly what he found and the solution. Thanks for being diligent, honest, and personable! read more

Installed a Navian Tankless Water Heater System. Professional workmanship and excellent customer service.

We have a "Navien" brand Tankless Instant recirculating hot water system that stopped heating our water. Hosford is one of several plumbers listed on the Navien website, as authorized plumbing contractors to service their equipment. I called them and the owner (Mark Hosford) was very knowledgeable with Navien and the problem I described to him, and Mark gave me some procedures I could try first on my own, to avoid me having to pay for service (VERY rare to have a contractor give you advice on the phone to avoid hiring them) The tips Mark gave me did not solve the issue so I scheduled his service. He came the next day with his son and they were both very knowledgeable plumbers and both really understood how Navien's complicated electronics work and diagnosed and fixed the issue within 30 minutes. And, just as important, their total charges for parts and labor were extremely reasonable. A side note, I also asked about other potential plumbing issues and it's clear to me that Mark and his son could handle any of your plumbing problems. I highly recommend them.

If you are looking for a truly honest & knowledgeable plumbing company, look no further. Small family-owned business that cares about their customers. I needed a water heater replaced. Although they could not get to me immediately because of another emergency they were already working on, they understood my position and thus referred me to another plumbing company. NOT.... after I picked myself up off the floor, I called Hosford back, ask their cost and when could they get to me. I don't regret the wait, the fair and honest price, and the personable and professional family members that got me back on track. MANY THANKS TO HOSFORD PLUMBING. read more

I have been using Hosford Plumbing for over 10 years. I have had several issues through the years and they were always professional, easy to work with (I live out of town), and knowledgable. They just seem to have good ethical work habits, which can be hard to find these days. read more

The Hosford's are a great Father and Son team and installed a Navien NPE 240A tankless hot water heater at our home. They are certified Navien installers so knowledgeable about the equipment and the installation. They were honest, diligent, and offered very competitive pricing. As far as the equipment goes, we could not be happier. Our home is over 100 feet long, has 5 bathrooms and 14 sinks. We had two 50 gallon tanks together at one end and a circulation system. It could run at set times, run constantly (which waisted a tremendous amount of propane) or from a push a button in the house. Basically, the system was inefficient, inadequate and inconvenient. After the Hosfords installed the Navien we now have unlimited hot water and not wasting propane keeping 100 gallons hot. The Navien's built-in circulation system works flawlessly and we find that setting it at 120 degrees is adequate. I looked at several other tankless installs prior to doing our job and none turned out as well (esthetically) and those using other brands had to set the temperature higher to achieve a satisfactory result. Because the other brands did not have a built-in circulation pump they had to use an external pump and have the inconvenience as I previously described or if they had a pump it worked on Wi-Fi which again, seems inconvenient. Navien offers a Wi-Fi add-on however it seems totally unnecessary as, in my opinion, their standard system is by far superior. It monitors the temperature of the circulation line and heats the water in the line when the temperature falls 20 degrees below your set temperature so you always have very warm to hot water at every fixture immediately depending on when the line was last automatically heated. If the circulation line has not been heated for a while the hot water is adequate to start and reaches full potential quickly. -- Of course, there has to be a circulation line already installed in the home for this to work. If not, Navien has a less expensive model without the built-in pump. It takes a knowledgeable installer for this all to work as intended and I recommend Hosford Plumbing. read more

Mark is super. I called him out of the blue for help yesterday and he responded before 7 am today. he helped me with what I needed and I am grateful for people like that. read more

Make sure you get a written quote before authorizing work or you may get major sticker shock as I did. I feel I was overcharged and will never use this plumbing company again. read more

Father & Son tag-teamed replacing my (and angle stops where needed) 3 toilets, 3 bathroom sinks/faucets, Master Shower Stall replacement, Guest Bath/Shower Stall unit (with deep soaking tub), and Kitchen Sink/Faucet unit. Great job! I recommend them to others who need these type of services. They have been there for us when we need them for decades, what more can I say? read more

Hosford plumbing is the most honest, helpful plumbing outfit I have ever done business with. When Hosford discovered that some parts were going to be sent by the tankless water heater manufacturer (for free), they passed the saving directly on to me!! What a breath of fresh air it was to find there are still honest firms out there. In addition their quote for the repair job was several hundreds of dollars less than their closest competitor. Last, but certainly not least, they fixed all my problems better than the folks who installed it originally. Can't say enough good things about Hosford. Call them first if you have a plumbing problem. read more
