The Handyman Plumber

Ravi A.

Called Shawn for water heater service. He hold me exactly what it will cost and what might change the cost depending on expected issues. He is honest and tells you the right thing to do and has very reasonable prices. I will definitely use his service next time.

We had issues with all three of our toilets (one was unusable). We called Shawn, and he was able to come over the next day. He made adjustments to all three (we didn't need any parts), and we're very happy with the results! He spent time with me pointing out exactly what he did for each toilet.

When I called him, he was very honest about pointing out advantages of getting new toilets vs repairing old ones. He also outlined the rebate system for us.

I'd recommend ""The Handyman Plumber"" to anyone. Shawn is straight-forward, courteous, fast, and does a super job!

My landlady had used Shawn before, so she called him again, as the stream from the kitchen fawcet had reduced to a maddeningly thin trickle. My landlady feared she'd have to fork out a lot of money for the plumbing. I was here, this morning, when Shawn came to fix the problem. He was nothing but honest, and he charged my landlady $75.00 to fix the problem, since it wasn't anything really serious. We all talked afterwards. Shawn is a really decent person, and his work ethic, enthusiasm for his profession, and rates are all to be appreciated. In this day and age (and I'm 62), Shawn is a rare and decent human being.

these guys are AMAZING. Water heater busted at 9am they were in my house by 10:15 and finished buying and installing a brand new water heater by 1pm. several of my neighbors had the same problem earlier in the month and it took their plumbers all day to install. they have a nice friendly demeanor and even showed us how to work the water heater. they even guaranteed their work. their card is on my refrigerator for the next time i need a GREAT plumber1

I have used Shawn for 3 work items now -- fixing of two toilets, installing a new garbage disposal, and a small repair to my fence. He is fast, knowledgeable, and really good at communication.

The best things about Shawn are:
1. he shows you how to save money by telling you what parts you can buy yourself at home depot, so that he can just come over and do the labor part. (for me, told me which garbage disposal to buy from home depot)
2. he shows you important parts of what to do in the future to save money, or what items are likely to break in the future (went over the water shutoff outside my house, and what to do in certain flooding circumstances, showed me which valves were made of cheap plastic, and showed me where some rusty bolts or rottted wood may lead to issues later)
3. he chooses generally higher quality parts like metal valves instead of plastic so that you are best protected for the future, or toilet parts that are less likely to encounter problems in the future.

#1 shows that he isn't trying to milk you for every dollar. his dedication to quality is apparent in everything he does. everything he has touched in and around my house has been rock solid.

Shawn takes the time to explain to you what he is doing, and what things may happen when he starts his work. I use him to help me with fixes to my rental property, but he has extra value in teaching what things I can easily do myself. On more than one occasion, he has helped me solve a problem where he didn't even have to come over.

Shawn did an excellent job fixing a plumbing problem in our house. It wasn't a simple problem including corrosion and old fittings that couldn't be taken apart easily.
I was impressed by Shawn's ability to work around the problem and to come up with a solution in the most efficient and least expensive way for us.

He is a great guy to be around and I highly recommend him both as a plumber and a handyman.

I strongly echo everything good that others have said about Shawn.
I always stress out whenever I have any kind of work done around the house, but Shawn was so easy to work with that there was no stress at all. He did a job in the backyard--the 50-year old galvanized pipes going to several faucets had started leaking under a cement slab, so we decided to have Shawn abandon the galvanized and repipe everything with PVC and copper, where appropriate. This included going under the house to run copper piping from one end of the house to the other and to the outside. Shawn does all the work himself, except in big jobs like this, where he has the help of Johnny, also a licensed plumber. The two work well together and are very meticulous, perfectionistic, and professional. They checked with me along the way to be sure they were doing things the way I wanted it. They explained everything to me as they went along and always kept me in the loop. I would use Shawn again in a heartbeat.

We called Shawn at 12:30 PM on Sunday. He came over at 2 PM and had our water heater back up and running (new thermocouple) by 2:30. Super friendly, professional, efficient and great price! Had the part with him in nis little trailer that he tows to jobs.

Use this dude, he rocks! And he has a contractors license to boot!

Shawn is an honest dude. He came out to look at a water leak that I have temporary fixed but thought might need a more permanent solution. He said what I did should last for a while so no need to spend extra money.
He also gave me advice on my sewer line which another plumber suggested that I should replace the entire line. He gave me a quote on cleaning out the sewer line. I'll be calling him back soon for an appointment.

Shawn found the parts to fix my 70-year-old bathtub fixtures, got the old ones out clean, and showed me how to keep it working right (it never has since I bought the house. No, not 70 years ago...) We're lucky to have him around. Good work, good prices, honest and straightforward.
