Self employed individual. Very friendly and worked with us to choose faucets to replace leaky faucets in bathroom. Shows up when promised and does quality work.

Van has taken care of all of my plumbing since I purchased my house in 2003. He’s very meticulous in his work.

Van is the best plumber we have ever used, and we have used quite a number of them. He makes himself available at a moment's notice without charging extra for it, he provides knowledgeable advice, does professional work, efficiently and economically, without gouging the customer for unnecessary things.

Van returns calls, is flexible about scheduling, responds to emergencies, willingly discusses options based on price, and does high-quality work. He recently installed a new toilet and replaced an old pressure valve where the water enters the house. He's going to be our go-to guy for future plumbing problems.

Van is reliable and comes when he says he will. He does the work in a timely manner and with great quality. His prices are fair. I highly recommend him.

One-man shop. Replaced corroded leaking pipes in a hard-to-reach space in my laundry room ceiling, installed new sink faucets at my church. Very honest, hard-working, fair prices.

After using Van, I won't go anywhere else. He does his own work, and is very professional and fair. He treats your house as if it were his house. regarding the quality of the work performed
