I had what I consider a small job: replace two non-working shut-off valves from my kitchen water…read moreline, and one for the toilet water line. I must have called eight different plumbers or companies. Three would not provide free quotes or estimates, and they would have charged outrageous service call fees that one has to pay regardless of whether one accepts their quotes. Three companies offered free estimates and quotes. One quote was so ridiculously high, and when I questioned the price they described that the price included "Isolating water supply to unit by means of water main; relieving the pressure...." and the list went on and on, including a ridiculous list of normal steps for any plumbing job, including checking for proper functioning and leaks, as if these were the reason for the high costs listed on their estimates. It was a bit insulting. Petros was the last person I called, and he was refreshing. He asked for pictures of the valves in question, and before he gave me any quotes over the phone, he explained the options for repair and recommendations. He described the cost of the different types of valves (spoiler alert---they are not that expensive)--and explained his fee. No, he was not cheap, but I so appreciated the no-nonsense explanations and upfront pricing. I knew what the job was going to cost me, and exactly how much of the cost was going to materials vs. labor. Old fashion-business model and transparency that I appreciate. When he came to the house, he was friendly, efficient and professional; he explained and showed me what he did and what was wrong with the valves that were broken; and left the premises clean when he was done. He is a two-man company/team, so I cannot attest to how it would work calling him for larger jobs or emergency jobs, but I will definitely use his services again in the future.

I had my 75-gallon gas water heater replaced and had a very positive experience with this company…read more From the initial quote through installation, everything was handled professionally. Communication was clear, scheduling was straightforward, and the team arrived on time. It is most helpful that Mr. Floros uses text messaging to communicate. It makes the process so much easier. He explained the work in detail, including the equipment being installed and what to expect during and after the process. The installation itself was efficient and clean. They took care to protect the surrounding area, removed the old unit without issue, and ensured everything was properly connected and functioning before leaving. It was evident that they were experienced and followed proper installation practices. Overall, this was a well-managed, professional job. I would use them again and would recommend them to others looking for reliable plumbing work.

We're a small collective that shares stories from freelance and contract workers who've been…read moretreated unfairly. This is one of those stories. A contractor was hired by this company to build a fully functional website on a rushed timeline. They were told they were the only person working on the project, and that the urgency was due to the company's former developer being in a legal dispute and planning to take down the live site by June 1st, 2025. The contractor dropped everything to help and finished the site two weeks before the deadline. Over the course of several weeks, the contractor even went to their office multiple times for meetings with the owner's son and other team members, working in good faith to move the project forward.After the work was done, it came to light that two or three other people were also working on the same site, despite the company claiming otherwise from the start. When the contractor followed up for payment, the owner's son who was the main point of contact allegedly said "My boy could do it for less than $1,000, so our initial agreement on price is gonna be a lot less now." He also added he was going on vacation in 15 days and "didn't have time to deal with it." All this while wearing an expensive Rolex. The contractor was told, "Send me the invoice I'll pay you for your time." The invoice was sent immediately, and the son followed up once more saying, "I'll get back to you." After that, he went completely silent no reply, no payment. The contractor was left dismissed and disrespected. The stress and anxiety from this on top of an existing heart condition led to serious mental and physical strain. Legal steps have since been taken. This post is meant to warn others if you're a freelancer, contractor, or subcontractor, be cautious. Get everything in writing, and don't ignore red flags. No one should be pressured, misled, ghosted, or lowballed after showing up, putting in the time, and delivering their end of the deal.

They had a person come over to look at the work I needed done and the next day they had "Tony and Santos" come over for the installation of a new electric water heater. They have great service plans for their customers, giving you the top products offered in the field for your piece of mind on longevity and durability. You know who you are dealing with when someone comes over to work in your house with company vehicles. Not someone in a beat up personal vehicle that looks like they are having issues.

I'll keep it short up front, then expand if you care to read further: if you're reading this…read morereview, you've just found your plumber. James "Jim" McNiff is the kind of honest, straightforward, and reliable perfectionist you want doing the plumbing in your home. I first met Jim on the advice of a friend - we suffered a frozen clog during the sub-zero cold snap this past winter, and although he isn't a "clog guy" he called me back quickly and pointed me in the right direction. So when we wanted to replace our inefficient oil furnace with a new gas system, Jim was my first call. He came through and inspected the system, measured every radiator in our home, and came up with the BTU requirement for our heating needs. (Note: this is the proper procedure, and if someone simply sells you the same size boiler, then they've already failed - that boiler could be under- or over-sized. Jim is the kind of guy who wants to work with his own data to get it right). Jim then wrote up three different options for us to pursue, mapped out the rebate incentives available from our energy provider, and gave us a timeframe for how long each one would take. We chose a system and he talked us through what to expect. To put it simply: the work was perfect. Not only did Jim install a beautiful new system, he even was able to compress the footprint, saving us 14 square feet in our basement. That kind of foresight comes only from experience. When you watch him work, you realize he's lined up all of his fittings from small to large, and has everything mapped in advance; the man is looking for perfection. Everything works perfectly now - our heat is silent, reliable, and best of all - much cheaper now. The contractors Jim had to bring in did an excellent job as well. So if you're looking for a great plumber to do the job right - you've found your man. Jim McNiff is.... the man.
