My best words of praise go to Meir!
A true professional at his best.
Excellent job done, extremely fair pricing, no attempts to squeeze.
And, on top of that, a very-very nice person to deal with.
Impossible not to like him.

Took half an hour to make it over. Most other places said a couple of
days and such. Those that answered said that at least. Some were answering machines. He worked quickly and did a number of things
that were above and beyond. He cut the price too because we said he got good press on Yelp. Well, he's got some more good press now.
If we need some more work he'll get another call.


Good help can be hard to find.

Had our basement sump pump fail. Was referred to Meir by our general handyman. Within 1 hour of my original text myself, I was on the phone with Meir explaining what happened. He came out a few hours later to view the problem and gave me a rundown.

Unfortunately the more he uncovered about the original pump and plumbing, the more things didn't look right. In no way was this a scam to get more work, he honestly just wanted to do things the right way that won't need repairing again. Ultimately, the sump basin needed to be repaired, and the piping modified to fit.

Overall, the replacement and repair was done right, and in an good timeframe. Meir is definitely now my ""I have a guy"" for plumbing issues and questions.

Meir has become a buddy. Multiple times, he has bent over backwards to fit us into his schedule - from emergencies to regular jobs. He is trustworthy, completely fair, and always makes you laugh. Besides broken plumbing, I always look forward to chatting with Meir. He's one of the few ""good ones,"" and is one of (if not the most) skilled plumber we've ever worked with.

Seriously - he's fixed drains, broken main water lines, checked our gas line issues, helped us get reimbursed from DWP for an emergency leak, and brought our garage-sale propane-powered fire pit back from the dead.

Meir is the real deal. As good as it gets!

Meir was great, completed everything efficiently and explained what he was doing while fixing the issues. Will not hesitate to contact him again.

Meir is as good as it gets. He was recommended to me by a friend who owns many apartments who said that that ""Meir is the guy you go to, to really figure out what is wrong and fix it."" He is right. Meir doesn't just ""work."" He analyzes the problem (or solves the unknown problem), develops a plan to fix the issue, and then executes. You can know that it will get fixed if you use Meir. He is not the cheapest, but he is the best. Save yourself headaches with others and go with Meir with confidence.

Had an emergency plumbing issue on Sunday. Called Meir and he showed up within 45 minutes. He took time to understand how the home's plumbing system was set up, and then acted. He solved the problem efficiently. He was professional, knowledgable and honest. Through it all, he demonstrated that he didn't want to take any shortcuts; he stressed the importance of finishing the job the ""right way."" Will plan to use him again (but hopefully under less dire circumstances). Thanks Meir!

Meir is wonderful.... he comes quickly, solves your problem, has a cup or coffee and leaves everything in perfect order. I recommend him highly...he has repaired my plumbing on two occasions and his prices are reasonable. Call him if you have a plumbing problem!

We are so happy we called Meir. He was able to accommodate us within a couple of hours of contacting him--on a Saturday morning, no less--to fix our main sewer line that had backed up and formed a huge puddle of ""you know what"" on the garage floor.

A friendly, knowledgeable plumber with a great sense of humor, Meir's customer service skills are top notch. And he cleared our clogged sewer line before the hour was up.

Pricing is fair for an independent plumber and the work is top quality. We'll definitely call Meir to handle any future plumbing emergencies!

Meir is a good and honest man who happens to be a great plumber as well! My mother had a water heater issue on a Saturday evening and a friend recommended Master Plumbing to us. We called Meir that evening and he did some initial diagnosis over the phone. He promptly arrived the following morning and was able to fix the issue, taking the time to explain what he was doing and why he was doing it. We have never experienced such a transparent, forward, and skilled plumber and he has earned our business for the future! Thank you Meir!
