Excellent plumber. Fixed a problem the first time after a different plumber failed twice.

Kevin Black expertly diagnosed several plumbing issues, provided and installed a kitchen faucet and a garbage disposal, repaired a leaking toilet, snaked and unclogged the kitchen drain lines, improved flow in a bathroom faucet, and installed several necessary valves. Kevin's remarkable expertise, care, and thoroughness greatly improved the plumbing in our aging house. Paying for labor by the hour in this case on 7/28/25, the first hour was $200, each additional hour $180.

Had a toilet replaced. A little pricey, but excellent work done. Sometimes a little difficult to contact, but otherwise very professional. Will call them in the future.

Needed emergency plumber for pipe leak and my regular guy was not available immediately. Kevin came in a timely manner, identified and fixed 2 pinhole leaks, and set us up with a reliable mitigation company to recover from water damage. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. Emergency fees are of course steeper due to their nature, so that is always unpleasant.

Left a message requesting non-emergency repair on an in house drainage leak at 8:30am, tech arrived at 3pm. Did an excellent job, very neat and complete.
