Some of the contractors I had contacted had yet to reply 24 hours after my call or email. Those who did reply were vague as to the time to repair my problems. Shawn was upfront with all I asked of him. His show up plus first hour fees were higher than other quotes, but my instincts told me to choose Shawn. He arrived on time, went right to work, and wasted not his or my time! He answered all my questions as he worked. I was very pleased and will recommend anyone reading this to work with Shawn!

I reached out to Mike as he was referred to me from someone who had done some work for me and I…read moretrusted his reference. Mike got back to me fairly quick and came by to see what the job was. He said that he could handle it and would get back to me with a price. 6 days later I texted him asking if he had put together a price for me. I wasn't shopping for a plumber, I was planning to use him because he was referred by someone I trusted. Mike never responded. I waited 2 weeks before deciding to post this review. Part of being a good contractor is showing up and getting back with people. If he said that he wasn't interested, or was too busy, I would of looked for someone else. Instead I lost valuable time and had to try and get another plumber. Luckily I found someone who not only is happy to the job, but returns calls. Not even a difficult job. Maybe he's a good plumber, I'll never know. This review is based on the fact that he did come to my house, and did say that he would give me a price. Therefore, I did officially use his business. It wasn't like I showed up at a restaurant with no reservations and then posted a bad review about them because they wouldn't seat me. It's more like having a reservation and being seated but never being served. You the can make your own decisions. This was my experience.

Colin stopped by to ensure our satisfaction and do a quality check. My husband and I would whole heartedly recommend them: pricing beat out all competitors, professionalism superb, quality of workmanship excellent . So delightful to have received quality service at an exceptional value. THANK YOU COLIN, MIKE AND JOSH Mike and Pam. Murray

The house looked nice before the event, and it looks even better now and was reconstructed with consideration to FEMA guidelines should flooding reoccur. Corolla had 31 inches of rain from three major rain events in September and October 2016. We had a few inches of water on the first level after the second major rain event. I called BR, and they promptly were in the house to assess the damage. They rapidly did the deconstruction after the water receded and started drying the exterior walls. The wood was also treated with a biocide to retard microbial growth. My wife and I were at the house for Hurricane Matthew, and we had additional water intrusion to a level higher than the first event. BR promptly did a second drying. The first level was reconstructed with consideration given to materials and recommendations found in FEMA guidelines for homes that may be in a flood hazard area. Our house is X zone and not in a flood hazard, but 31 inches of rain saturated the ground and the runoff from subtle terrain elevation changes flooded several homes where we are. The house looks great and is better constructed to handle future events. This is always a very stressful situation for any homeowner. Bluewater Restoration made the process less stressful through their courtesy and professionalism. We are very pleased with the process and results. BR personnel are great to work with, and we highly recommend Bluewater Restoration. [Edit: I have no idea why Yelp posted my location as San Francisco. My wife and I are in MA.]

I'm a licensed female GC working on my own investment house, and I hired Mr. Groovy (Joe) for a…read morefull rough-in. Joe is one of the best plumbers I have ever worked with. He takes everything into consideration: anticipated drywall and cement board, subfloor leveling, fixture locations. If something isn't perfect, he'll work until it is- for his own satisfaction. He is a plumbing wizard, and a good guy to have on a job site. His competent wife handles things behind the scenes, and it's rare to have such frequent, friendly, and value-added communication. When I brought up the sales tax exemption for capital improvements (which is something few people know about), Kelly took it upon herself to call friends and the actual government to clarify the requirements and establish the proper paperwork. With other bids, I stated I would be providing the fixtures, but other bids came in offering their preferred fixtures plus sales tax. You'd think a one-man operation would slow things down, but what I experienced was a plumber who managed every aspect with a critical eye, versus relying on less experienced subs rushing through a job. I still don't know how he managed to perfectly set a 66" bathtub and a 90 lb slate shower base by himself, but Joe is a gentle giant who knows it all when it comes to plumbing. He works independently, and offered suggestions and tips I hadn't considered. He also listens to cool music and carried some heavy things for me after I twisted an ankle without blinking an eye (I'm not proud). Although plumbing isn't the sexiest job out there, once you see how much work he puts in, you'll understand that you're receiving platinum service for what is very reasonable pricing. I received nearly a dozen proposals for a comprehensive and annoying job, and Joe's was the one that included all the details of the work involved, while others focused on upselling fixtures and completely neglecting components of the job. As long as he'll work with me, I won't hire another plumber in OBX.

All of this done after hours, in the dark, with a headlamp. We had called 6 other companies who couldn't help.
