Seemed great when I met him, gave a great estimate for a major project. I spent the next two months chasing him - calling him, texting him - trying to get him to actually come and do the project. In the beginning he gave me a different excuse every time, and by the end he just stopped picking up the phone or answering my texts. I ended up having to hire someone else to do it, but the delays created by trying to work with Shepherd & Sons introduced a lot of frustration and difficulty for myself and my neighbors. I would recommend that you do not waste your time. read more

On a Thursday night, I submitted for a quote to install a new kitchen faucet and an under-the-sink water filtration system. First thing in the morning on Friday I had a message from Travis who then was able to schedule the work for the following Monday. The work was done efficiently and well. Within a couple of hours, everything was completed and the area was fully cleaned up. Travis was extremely clear in his explanations of all the work he did, and also extremely clear about the work he would do at the outset. We're thrilled with the end result and so happy we connected with Shepherd & Sons (and Travis in particular)! We now have found our new go-to plumbers in the area! Couldn't be happier. These guys are great - highly recommend them!! read more

Our water heater was failing and I reached out via Yelp for a quote. They had Travis come out the very next morning to come take a look. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that he was wearing a mask AND gloves! Since it's a profession where you travel between different people's homes, I was very glad he was taking precautions for himself and the customers. Travis was way more thorough than any other HVAC or plumber I've had in my home previously, and he walked me through everything he observed. He gave me 3 quotes the same day on the spot. I talked it over with my husband and we decided to get the 40-gallon, 10-year warranty gas water heater with an automatic shut-off valve. It took just a few hours to install and clean up. He left the place spotless like he never was even here. I'd 100% use Sheperd & Sons in again the future! read more

Shepherd & Sons Mechanical Services - Plumbing Near Me

We purchased a 175-year-old-fixer-upper. The first thing we needed to tackle was the plumbing. We had everything from broken sinks to broken and corroded pipes. We received six quotes, all with wildly different ranges. Several were only for part of the work. Travis came for a free home inspection and looked at everything so he could give us a number. He explained everything that needed to be done as well as things that didn't need to be done right away, and showed us things we needed to monitor. We moved forward on making the necessary repairs. He and his apprentice were here on time, they were both so nice - and they were here all day. They managed to get everything done even though they ran into problems. They did high quality work and explained what they had done in detail. They cleaned up afterwards and took all the trash with them. We recommend them! And we will have them back after we get more of the needed stuff done in other areas, so we can to some "wanted" things. read more

I hired Shepherd and sons. To fix a showe and toilet. This was a repair in a condo that I rent out to tenants. The team was responsive, fixed the issue quickly and did great plumbing work. Thanks Travis! read more

I requested a quote on several things: 1) replace toilet 2) replace vanity & faucet 3) route drain hose from dehumidifier to outside 4) re-route washing machine drain farther away from foundation Plumber came to examine, gave thorough explanation of work required. Seemed very knowledgeable. I received an estimate with an accurate, detailed description of the work required ... and a total price: $4,316 (which seems pretty high to me), but no breakdown. I replied asking for a breakdown so I could understand the price quoted. Their reply: "There is really no breakdown of costs. This is the overall price for labor, cost, and materials. If you would like to seperate the tasks into invidivial projects, that is something that can be done as well." Assuming they didn't pull $4,316 out of thin air, the first two sentences seem either nonsensical or disingenuous -- and contradicted by the third sentence, which was what I had asked for in the first place! I responded yes, please... and never heard back from them. They may be technically knowledgeable, but this certainly doesn't inspire trust.... read more

They responded to our urgent request on a weekend when no one else would. We had a ruptured pipe and they fixed it up right away. We ended up having them put in 3 new hose faucets as well. They were courteous and explained everything they were doing. Definitely our go to plumber from now on! read more

Amazing service! Came in immediately for a free estimate on an outdate faucet issue. Diagnosed the issue so fast and even pointed out potential other issues with our downstairs sink due to poor installation in our newly purchased home. Sent us a quote, 2 proposals and even advised us with an inventory and all work was done in under 3 hours. We cannot be happier and excited to work with them for updating our other bathrooms. read more

Travis was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the beginning, he was sure to communicate clearly what the repair would entail, went over what he found when diagnosing our leaky toilets, and got the job done quickly. He did point out that further replacements would be needed down the road, and walked us through how we might need to navigate the repairs, given that our property is part of a condo association. He has even gone as far as advocating for these repairs to our association's maintenance group on our behalf! Travis has gone far above and beyond what we expected from him and would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for plumbing repairs! read more

These guys were great! I used Yelp to get matched for a main pipe repair connecting to my upstairs sink, and I knew going into this project it may be costly because you had to open up a wall to access the pipe, but I already dealt with two other people who barely looked into the problem and couldn't fix it (one of which repaired something completely unrelated costing me an unnecessary extra $500). They were the first company to respond to my repair request, they scheduled a time to come out right away (same week), came within the window of time they gave me, was transparent with me the whole time (even sending me pics while I was at work)-and most important of all-THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM! My only critique was that when they opened the wall, they don't put it back together- that threw off guard so I had to get someone else to put it back together. All in all I'd hire them again! read more

Needed a plumber to replace hot water heater. Asked for assistance on Yelp. Travis responded very quickly and was even able to provide a quote. He came quickly and hustled.

Wish him and his family the best and appreciate the quick help. read more

We called Shepherd & Sons to help us diagnose and ultimately replace a leaking faucet. They were very responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. They showed us areas where the existing faucet was corroded indicating that a repair would be unwise and that it needed to be replaced. They gave us several options and allowed us to choose one within our budget. The repair/replacement was ultimately performed the same day at a price that seemed appropriate. We were very pleased. read more

I texted "through" yelp they said they could come out Tuesday (4/19). I said Tuesday would work. They never gave a time frame when they would be coming. Someone came out to my house and claimed they knocked on the door and left a message. I didn't hear a knock. They left their business card I called twice no one answered. The answering message said text them. They said they could reschedule when they got a "free" minute. Never got call back about rescheduling. read more

They showed up at 7:00 AM to do an estimate, saying I had confirmed on Yelp. I had only told them I would be home in the morning. I never heard back so hired someone else. He insisted I had confirmed, and when I said that I had hired someone else already, he became all sarcastic. read more

They don't come as we scheduled. This happened again and again. Unfortunately, I ended up waiting a month for service that never came.

We had an issue with our toilet leaking. Travis from Shepherd was responsive, gave me updates on his arrival time.

Travis was awesome and I would absolutely use them again. read more

Travis the technician is as amazing as the other reviews have stated. Great attention to detail, personable with clear explanations, the range of options provided onsite made sense. I followed the option that was best for me and he came back as scheduled. There was a problem with the new lines on the new faucet I had purchased - they were not long enough to complete the installation. For a fair price Travis went and purchased them and finished the installation. No surprises, excellent work, would definitely hire again. Highly recommend. read more
