Recommended Customer Reviews
Fast and efficient service. Just a clogged utility sink in our garage but he was great and informative. I'm always afraid of how expensive plumbing issues can be, but it wasn't too bad and I feel he was very honest. Will call again for future needs :)
Paul and Tom are awesome--professional, super helpful, and really nice to be around as a bonus. Moved into a new house and immediately needed help with a few leaks and so glad I called Universal Plumbing. They gave me advice on the best and most feasible way to reroute some plumbing. Then had fairly significant plumbing work done ($$$) during a kitchen renovation and they were great. . Very responsive and great to deal with. Thanks guys!
Universal Plumbing is a great family owned plumbing company. Very fair pricing and great service. The owner Paul is very knowledgable and will give you the straight skinny on what needs to be done and more importantly, what doesn't. Will answer any questions you have and explain anything that is confusing and you're not sure about. I have used them many times and was always satisfied with their service.
Susan B.This review is long over due! We first hired Paul about 2 yrs ago when we were remodeling our kitchen and needed an estimate to move water & gas lines and to install the new dishwasher, sink, faucet and garbage disposal. We got 3 estimates which were all about the same price but Paul just made us feel at ease. The work was a multi visit process and both Paul and Tom were so nice and professional even when my schedule would change and all of a sudden I needed someone there ASAP. He always came through for us and with a good attitude.
About 6 months later we needed a toilet replaced. They provided the toilet and Tom installed it. I have to say Tom is the nicest service person I have ever dealt with. He's on time, professional, friendly and cleans up after himself.
Then yesterday we discovered a small pipe leak in the ceiling of our bathroom. I called this morning and Paul answered immediately. Tom came out this afternoon, located the leak and repaired it for us. Then he cleaned the bathroom of all the mess.
I would give them 10 stars if possible and highly recommend them. You don't see service like this much anymore. Their prices are also reasonable.
Matt And Carrie H.Great service on a Saturday morning. Efficiently and cleanly took care of both our clog issues. Even showed how to do a bit of the work ourselves and left a tool for the garbage disposal. Terrific Job!
Jeff M.FAST AND PROFESSIONAL
If you need a plumber, this should be your first call. Paul quickly assessed the problem and walked me through the repair process. He also noticed some other potential plumbing problems (corroded connectors) and gave suggestions on how to address. No pushy sales pitch.
Kelly J.I was a little doubtful looking at all the five star reviews that a plumbing company could wow me, but they did. I needed an inspection done for a property I am purchasing, and while Paul was a few minutes late (he did let us know), he was very thorough and efficient. He was extremely professional, and seemed to be invested in helping us determine every possible issue and non-issue with the plumbing. He even climbed up on the roof, checked the water heater, and knew a lot about every system that involved water running through the house. I was impressed, and felt like I was in good hands. I will definitely be calling him back to get the recommended repairs.
Emily F.Quick response, friendly and very professional. Totally recommend if you need fast, efficient service with no hidden costs.
We ended up having a couple plumbing issues in a few day window. Tom helped us, and came exactly on time (or called when he was running a little late). He discussed what he was going to do before doing anything. He was very friendly, and answered our numerous plumbing questions- those related to the project and those unrelated to the work they did.
We certainly know who to call for any plumbing work we may need in the future.
I don't write many reviews. But they were so good, I felt obligated to pass on the word. I also would completely agree with Sandy B even if I don't know her because I had Tom come as well.
I have never had anyone so professional and helpful. He did the job I called them out to do. He explained to me what was happening and he helped to make it the least expensive fix for us. Then he had time to help with two other jobs one of which was extremely serious for the well being of our family so he called his next job first to make sure he could do everything in a timely fashion for everyone.
I was more than extremely impressed. I am excited I found out about this company and will be using them again if any things comes up!!
