But a great plumber is only good if you can get a response from them. I've been dealing with him for several years now. Consistently I've had to message repeatedly, call repeatedly. On occasion - as the first time I contacted him probably in 2023 - he answers the phone himself, and provides info on what he thinks the problem is. And he does phenomenal work. After a few years of being a good customer, patient, paying on time, never objecting to pricing, I **STILL** cannot get a response from him. One issue is that he's a one man show. It's him, or no one. His wife is lovely and accompanies him at times. Very knowledgeable herself. About 4 weeks ago I initiated contact and he responded immediately via text. Great, I thought. Then nothing. After a few more messages checking in, he said there was a family medical situation. I gave him space, and here we are two weeks and yet another text message to him later, and nothing. Nada. And still a leaking well tank. C'mon. Do better. We are done, hope you sort yourself out with other customers - I've seen several other people have had the same experience.

We worked with Florez Millworks on several projects in our historic house, including a full kitchen restoration, and the experience exceeded our expectations. We needed heart pine flooring and American Chestnut cabinetry, and not only did they have these rare materials, their carpenter built our cabinets fully custom. The craftsmanship is incredible. They also helped us reclaim lumber from inside the house, planed it beautifully for our kitchen ceiling, and completed additional American Chestnut millwork in another room. Everything was delivered on time, with thoughtful communication and coordination throughout. What really sets Florez Millworks apart is the people. Rey and his team were kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. They treated my wife and me as equals and took the time to understand what we wanted. The quality, price, and service are unmatched. I'll only use Florez Millworks for reclaimed lumber going forward and recommend them without hesitation.

If major, they'd give me an estimate. True to their word, two workers appeared the next day and were quickly up on the roof. I heard hammering in an area other than the one I knew about. They told me there was another small area that was missing and the workers quickly repaired both and were gone. Price was very fair and I would use them again without question.

He truly cares about the quality of his work and it shows. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing repairs, remodeling or decking. I will be hiring him again.
