He came out first thing the next morning, arrived early, and took the time to thoroughly explain what happened, what our options were, and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed. His pricing was very reasonable, and within about 2 hours we had a brand new water heater installed and everything was back up and running. He also pointed out a few upgrades I should consider for my main water line to improve both water pressure and safety. I really appreciated that he took the time to educate me without being pushy--it showed that he genuinely cared about making sure everything in my home was working safely and properly. Tai is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely nice to work with. I really appreciated how efficient and transparent he was throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him if you need a reliable plumber. One thing to note: He only accepts cash or check, so be prepared. Thanks so much, Tai!
