We have worked with both Mike Kalkbrenner and Tom Kalkbrenner on one major and three small projects over the past two years. They have always made clear the scope of project, explained the fix in a clear way, provided an intelligible and fair estimate, did the work in a timely and tidy manner, and were respectful and friendly. My wife, Amy, and I would give them more stars if we could! --Scott

Ryan, the owner, is very nice and took time to explain not only about our new system but also how to maintenance it for the future. We did not hesitate to call Ryan back when we decided to add an air exchanger. He was extremely prompt, took care to keep my new rugs clean, and was lovely to work with. We will continue to recommend him to anyone who will listen!

Scott was referred to us by an acquaintance. We had tried to find other plumbers in our area, but…read morenone were willing to come out and even give us an estimate. We have a cabin about 35 south of Superior, WI and most businesses aren't willing to drive the distance. If reviews could be more than 5 stars, we give Scott a 5-star plus rating. We had old plumbing in our cabin that was not up to code and installed carelessly, as well as a water heater from the 1980s. Scott's estimate was free and spot on with the final cost, which was well-under what we anticipated. He explained what needed to be done and why. We also appreciate that he did not leave a mess. We weren't home when he finished up his job, but he was kind enough to come back to go over his work. We will certainly hire Scott again should the need arise. I highly recommend Scott at Lavoie Plumbing. He's professional, kind, thorough, transparent, and very knowledgeable. Work done: Replace piping not up to code; replace water heater; replace waste water tubing; upgrade outside faucet to prevent freezing; update plumbing for the dishwasher; replace bathroom sink faucet; relocate and update a hookup for the washer; re-locate and update drainage piping for furnace condensation.

I was very pleased with the whole project and plan to hire him again for an upcoming home addition project.
