"Had a new gas line run from the meter to our kitchen for a gas range conversion. Everything was done to code, they scheduled the city inspection, and we passed first time. Very straightforward process."
"Our water heater started leaking from the bottom on a Friday evening. They had a new 50-gallon unit installed by Saturday afternoon. No cold showers for the family, thankfully."
"Kitchen faucet had been dripping for weeks and I finally gave in and called. They replaced it with a new pull-down model I picked out. Looks great and no more drip."
