What can I say? We had a ridicules bid from another company, after three minutes they wanted to escalate the slab to the tune of $3500.00. Michael came out, snaked our drain, voila. problem solved. Communicated with us well, and was on time. Would definitely recommend him. read more

Kim that handles the calls has terrible customer service and lies to you so she can book the inspection. She was very rude and disrespectful. Michael was cool but not sure how complete the inspection was since there was no pictures taken of under the house and he was not in good shape to crawl under the house. Overall I would look for other options. read more

I had a terrible experience with this company especially Michael who was rude. I would use other words to describe him but this is a public forum. Lousy work, rude behavior, he lied to tenants in the building he was working on and told them things were finished when they weren't I am baffled by any good reviews for this company. Michael is an A**hole read more

I almost never write reviews on Yelp, but I have never been so upset and disgusted by a company. The blatant rudeness and discrimination we've experience is otherworldly. Never in my life has someone been so disrespectful. To quote "we are over this property. We're not coming back" and "Your mother is nuts." I strongly believe this had something to do with my roommate's mom's middle eastern accent. They dismissed her immediately and spoke down to her. I'm absolutely disgusted. read more

This company is truly "ELITE". Saying Mike and his company is "Super professional" is not good enough. We had a major plumbing issue where our water wouldn't go down in the evening. He came within a few hours and fixed the problem so that we could get by. He also put a camera down there to find the problem out exactly. He gave us our options on how to fix it properly so there would be no more issues. After his recommendations we changed the main pipe. But to change the pipe is HUGE job where they had to break the concrete and stone in the back yard. Well he changed the pipe, BUT to put all the concrete back and stone was amazing. You couldn't even tell that someone even worked there. That's amazing! These guys are truly the best and I will never use anybody else. Mike is truly honest, hard working, fair priced, professional, and the best at what he does. Not only do I highly recommend them, I will not use anyone else. read more

Mike came today to fix a clog that my building's regular plumber couldn't figure out. Mike figured it out and fixed it in under 2 hours. He's extremely good at what he does and is a very nice guy to boot. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs a real professional. Mike knows his stuff! read more

Fantastic for inspections! We're deep in the inspection process for buying our new home and Bear from Michael Shute Plumbing came out to check our sewer line. He was professional, on time, and verbally walked us through results in a way which wasn't overwhelming- which says a lot as we had four other inspections running at the same time! The videos and report were sent to our inbox promptly thereafter. Thanks, Bear! read more

Michael is the best! I've used him for years. Reliable, knowledgeable, and responsive. He's in my trusted group of contacts and I always refer him to others. Thanks Michael! read more

We had a great experience with this company recently. My sewer line had failed in one area and needed to be fixed. He said he would be there the next day between 11 - 12 and that's when he arrived. They performed the work can invoiced me the price quoted. He is now our plumber!! I love working with companies that do what they say they're going to do when they say they're going to do it. I highly recommend. read more

Was willing and able to deal with what seemed like a simple job that got unexpectedly complicated. And still kept the cost reasonable. Very happy with the work. read more

Worst company I have ever done business with. Their worked failed inspection and I had to call another plumber to fix it. Their secretary Kim is the rudest person ever. Doing a huge remodel with reputable contractors and didn't have a single problem except this little $1,500 job that they totally messed up. By the way, check them out. They advertise that they are Better Business Bureau AAA++ rated but they aren't even registered with the BBB read more

COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL! I keep getting invoices from Michael Shute Plumbing. I called to inquire about the invoices and the receptionist told me that it was my problem and just hung up on me. Seriously, you can find adequate plumbers anywhere. Take your business elsewhere. EDIT - I just saw Michael Shute's comment below. I can assure you I am not a "scammer private yelp sales person." I was a paying customer that was treated unprofessionally. read more

If you are in need of a plumber, Michael is your man! He was referred by a friend who has his sewer line rupture. I had a galvanized pipe rupture. :/ Michael came out and did an emergency patch job to get me through until I could do a complete repair. He even walked the perimeter of my home with me and explained where the failure was and what was advisable for me to do to protect my home. (This level of detail and care is extremely appreciated.) Not only did he send a crew out within days Of the patch, to replace all my old pipes, they fixed other concerns around the property... both those I noticed inside the house and plumbing deficiencies for exterior pipes. The prices are very fair and the work is superior. Thanks to Michael, I know I won't need more work in the foreseeable future, but if I ever did, I'd be a repeat client. read more

Mike was great -- we had just purchased a house and I had called to get our sewer line cleaned out. I had emailed versus calling and Kimberly from his office replied pretty quickly. I had set the appt through her and she was very professional. Mike showed up on time to clean out my sewer line, I had also asked him if he could take a look at the dishwasher/sink while he's here since there seemed to be a clog. Mike was patient and stayed while the washing machine went through its cycle and waited for the overflow to happen(for about 3+ hours!). He tightened our lose faucet as well and charged me a fair price. Mike was friendly (we were just standing there waiting for the dishwasher to overflow...) I will definitely be contacting Michael Shute Plumbing in the future! read more

I have used Michael for an assortment of jobs for the last several years on a couple of properties. From changing out old pipes to fixing issues with sewage lines to repairing others mistakes. He has always done an excellent job. I have tried others, professionals and amateurs alike, and always come back to have him do it right. He isn't the least expensive but he has always done the job well. As far as the other reviews go, it seems that he might need to replace his receptionist since his work has been nothing short of excellent in the several times that I have used him. read more

I was at Home Depot asking plumbers for help and being turned down. I asked Michael to follow me to a house and use his sawzall on a bed I was buying. We had been working on for hours already. He was so kind and went out of his way to follow me and save the day for me. People don't go out of their way for strangers anymore but he did it for me. I am so Greatful. Thanks again! read more

The first time I used Michael Shute Plumbing, they repaired my sewer line out in the front of my house and they were the best. They were prompt, price was reasonable (even got a discount without asking) and I received a video on YouTube explaining the work, since I wasn't able to be there myself. The second time I called Michael Shute Plumbing, a week later, my toilet was clogged. Michael came and snaked my pipe for free! You can't beat that kind of service. I'm glad I found a plumber I can trust and wants happy customers. read more

I'm so upset right now! Guys if you didn't born in the USA u shouldn't call them!!! My English is not perfect and when I called, the woman told me that I should find someone that can speech English and hang up the phone. If I don't have perfect English I'm not alowed to talk??? They really don't deserv my business. read more

Michael fixed multiple plumbing issues in our house and has always been clear about what to fix, on time and efficient. I will use him again for all our plumbing issues. read more

In response to the comment by the company, (2 years after the fact), they obviously do not remember the situation. An agent did not make the appointment, I made it personally and specifically said not Saturday. It was not cancelled the night before- it was never made for a Saturday to begin with. I was not a seller either. I never even met the crew because I was not at the property since we said "not Saturday". I never screamed or berated the crew, because, again, I was not at the property and I never met the crew. Also, I have no clue what squirrel they are talking about. The only contact I ever had with this company was over the phone with an incredibly rude woman. I contacted the sewer company that referred us to them and they said they had many similar complaints about the person who runs the office and it was a shame because Michael Shute is actually a good plumber. Too bad. read more

I was contacted by Michael Shute's assistant/employee the night before our scheduled annual maintenance. I was told our pre-scheduled appointment would be cancelled because another client had a plumbing emergency that may cause damage to expensive vehicles and property. I had this appointment already scheduled and altered my day, schedule, and plans which now caused me a loss. A couple of days later, the assistant called me back to reschedule. I kindly and politely asked if there was a possibility to get a discount on the service because of their cancellation and loss at my end. She immediately got upset at me, said ours was just maintenance not expensive cars involved, said I could take my business elsewhere, and then hung up on me. read more

Utterly unprofessional. He came out to our house to fix a leaky sink. 3 weeks later it was leaking again. He said the labor to fix it the second time would be $200. When I asked him whether this was the same problem and whether we could adjust the labor cost accordingly, he started yelling, told us he wasn't going to play games and hung up the phone. May be a good plumber (I'm not sure), but definitely not worth the attitude. read more

The only plumber I would ever call. Two other companies said I need a new drain line for 20k, then Michael came out, showed me the camera line, guess what, nothing wrong!!! Most honest guy in the business! Paid him the service call and that was that. Thank God for him!!! read more

After being given a very incorrect quote by our sewer inspector for our new house, I reached out to Michael Shute for the actual repair. I spoke at length with Kimberly who broke the bad news that the quote was grossly under the cost of the actual price, and after calling a few other companies to verify that the inspector had in fact given us a quote that was about $1000 under the actual cost, Kimberly and the crew at Michael Shute were kind enough to give us a fair price that met in the middle, even though they had no obligation to do so. When it came time to arrange the work, Kimberly kept me up to date with the progress and was able to set something up even though I was out of town. When the day to do the work came, Kimberly promptly notified us that the sewage inspector was again incorrect with how much work had to be done, and when their worker actually went out and saw how much had to be done he stopped contacted us and waited patiently while my husband and I scrambled to fix the situation. Keep in mind I was on the other side of the country and my husband was at work, and everyone at Michael Shute waited for us to weigh all our options. In total the work should have cost a few thousand dollars, but the AMAZING team at Michael Shute realized that we had really gotten a bad quote from the original inspector and had relied on this. They called us up, let us know that charging us what the job would really cost was unfair to us and they would be happy to do the work at a fraction of the cost. My husband and I were astounded at their generosity and fair business dealings, which are extremely hard to come by in this day and age. Michael Shute did an INCREDIBLE job, and I can't recommend them enough. Not just for the great work they did at our new home, but for their kindness, their understanding, their patience with us, and for keeping us updated every step of the way. A great big thank you to Kimberly, who was so patient and kind and realized what a pickle our sewage inspector put us in, and graciously remedied another company's mistake for a fair price. That was something they didn't have to do, but Michael Shute went above and beyond in their service. Cannot recommend this company enough!!!!!! read more

i've used michael for jobs ranging from hundreds (new clean out for sewer) to thousands (a kitchen and bath remodel) over the years. he shows up himself, which i prefer, and gets the job done. he's professional and dependable. he returns calls, communicates well throughout the job, and definitely knows what he's doing. i've always found him to be very transparent and straight-forward. read more
