"Sink in the guest bathroom was draining so slowly it was basically unusable. They cleared the p-trap and found it was packed with years of buildup. Drains like new and they cleaned up after themselves."
"Our water heater started leaking from the bottom on a Friday evening. They had a new 50-gallon unit installed by Saturday afternoon. No cold showers for the family, thankfully."
"They repiped our entire second floor from old polybutylene to PEX. The work was clean, they patched the drywall access points, and the inspector had zero issues. Worth every penny for the peace of mind."
