When our water heater broke down the first thing I did was visit the big box stores. Got some quotes pretty quick, but was told I'd have to pay in full before the work would even start. I didn't like that. But what worried me more. I had no idea WHO they would send to do the install. Same thing with the other plumbing companies I contacted. Finally I found Gallants Plumbing. George, the owner, a one man operation, is an old school JOURNEYMAN . For the first time since this whole episode stated, he put my mind at ease, candidly addressing all my concerns. I trusted my gut, and told George to go ahead. Turned out to be a great decision! He gave us a good price and took his time, getting everything just perfect. As a craftsman myself, I know what to look for. So if you want an honest plumber, who you can trust to do as good a job as possible, call Gallants Plumbing: 360-337-0288. read more
