"Excellent, as always. They have done SO much work for us over the years - 13 years since I have been here at our condo. We have two catch basins that need to be rodded and cleaned as preventive maintenance regularly. They have also done some work for us when we've had tree roots grow into our sewer lines. They were far less expensive than other quotes and did the work just as well. They are terrific. Angel, who always services our condo building is the best!"

"Love this company! Kevin saved us thousands of dollars and that is not an exaggeration. Our toilet/tub backed up. We had another company come out and take a look at it... first of all they couldn't even clear the clog, told us they had to break open the floor and change 4 inch pipes to 6 inch pipes add a sewer clean out (there is one) etc. I called Kevin, the owner, and told him what this guy planned to do. I asked if he could possibly send someone out to take a look as I was in dire straits. Kevin's team easily cleared out the sewer line of tree roots both in the basement and then out to the street, used a camera to check that the lines were clear. Green Tech is extremely good at what they do,. They have some of the best rodding equipment out there, they are honest, kind, very knowledgable and is reasonable with regards to fees. They will definitely be our first call going forward. We are so grateful we found them and highly recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing assistance."

"The 2 plumbers were on time, neat and careful around the house....repairs were made quickly and friendly...have already used them again for another repair"

"Responsive, prompt, explained issues and Repaired. Exactly what we were hoping for."

I usually don't look forward to giving reviews because if I can't give a stellar review I'd rather not give any review -- just my nature. But with the Plumbing Doctor I have never had a better customer service experience than I had with John and his staff.

I had a pretty bad leaky outdoor faucet and when I saw the Big Deal for an outdoor faucet replacement I did an impulse buy hoping that's what I needed. John got back to me within the 2 days the deal said he would and we made an appointment within the next few days.

His serviceperson arrived on time and went to work. That's when we had a problem. When he was trying to change the assembly, it broke off inside of the wall between the inside and outside walls due to the way it was originally installed. He said he would have to open up my inside walls to get to it, which to me was not so much the problem as it was to getting to the wall as I have a one piece desk-hutch unit that hugs that corner of the wall and basically is non-moveable. Lucian (the plumber) had John call me and said even though opening up walls is not part of the basic service, they would cover it because the pipe broke while the technician was working on it. Whew! I was not ready for major plumbing expenses for a leaky faucet.

Lucian had to take apart some panels under my desk and make 2 holes in the wall before he able to fix and replace the broken section of pipe. When he was finished he said I would have to get someone else to fix the holes as he didn't know how to do that. I was a little disappointed but more concerned that mice or bugs would come in from the outside. About an hour later John called to ask if I was happy with the work done and I told him I still had holes in my wall, he said he wanted me to be "100% satisfied" and said he would send someone over to get them patched. Since that was a Friday, I received a call on Monday from a different gentleman who made an appointment for the next day to finish the job. He brought pieces of drywall and spackle and finished the job. He offered to come back when the plaster dried to sand it down but I told him not to bother that I would worry about it when I repainted the room since the patching was hidden behind the desk panel. He put everything back, cleaned up and wanted to make sure I was a satisfied customer. I cannot believe it. These guys were really concerned about getting the job done, on time and correctly. I would trust them with any plumbing job in the future. And, by the way, the faucet works great and doesn't leak!

"The jobs went very well. Gus arrived on time, replaced screens quickly and cleanly inside our home on a tarp, and also replaced two broken hinges on a kitchen cabinet. Both jobs were completed in the estimated time and the price was exactly as quoted beforehand."

"We have used Tim Howe on several plumbing jobs in the past and when a powder room toilet wouldn't flush properly (kept running) we called Tim. We were able to get the appointment scheduled quickly. Tim and Luke were punctual as usual. They donned foot covers and made sure to clean up the area when the job was complete. It is comforting knowing when we have a plumbing issue we can call Tim at Know-Howe. His prices are fair and the quality of the work is always at a high standard."

"They did a great job, showed up on time, installed the faucet quickly and cleaned up after themselves. I would hire them again"

"Great experience overall. Originally hired this firm just to refinish a bathtub although I had many other repairs to do. While assessing the bathtub job, Matt offered, for a very fair price, to replace the tub faucets and new vanity that I had purchased . He also found where water had gotten into the wall behind the tub faucet and made the wall soggy. He was able to remove the tile, repair the wall, and replace the tile, without additional charge. After beautifully finishing the bathroom, I asked Matt to quote on removing a kitchen cabinet and repairing and painting the drywall around it. He did a fabulous job, again for a great price. Then I asked him to paint the garage door and porch ceiling. All the work has been done well. I use this firm repeatedly because of the work quality and price."
