I then heard the shredder start up again and looked out the window. The crew drove down my road, noticed some dead branches just off the road that we had forgotten to include. They took the time and effort to grab these and mulch it all. In 2023, where do you find workers and companies that do MORE than you asked for and don't charge you for it.

I' ve worked closely as a customer with Anthony from Newkirks plumbing. My original project with him was an HVAC system with ducting. Searched around the market for a contractor. He stepped up immediately with what the "best" system to recommend, system design, calculations, options available, cost variance, time lines and expectations. Completed the job on time, exceptional professionalism, all skilled labor, with in the budget and NO cost over runs. He has just completed our second job in our rental. Mini split system was most appropriate, ductless, quiet, very aesthetic, renters love it. Again very cost conscience, system was completely installed and functioning when he said it would be done. Anthony is polite, accommodating and punctual. He guaranteed his work, he always answers or returns his calls the same day. I have referred him to others, I've used him again and on some plumbing repairs. Highly Recommended! Don't waste time calling around. John L read more

I have never had such wonderful service by any other plumber in Tuolumne County. He was right on regarding appointments and calling in advance to let me know his ETA. There was one emergency with another job that came up once and Michael's wife called immediately to let me know and to reschedule another time later that same day. Michael's work is excellent, he is extremely honest, upfront, knowledgeable and very professional. I hired him for several days on several different jobs and he was always a pleasure to be around.

Michael came over to determine it was a landscaper job and not a plumber job, however Michael said he would fix it for me anyway if I wanted him too.
