Hi neighbor! My name is Ryan, and I’ve been working as a handyman for the past 5 years, building on a wide range of hands-on experience along the way. I take pride in delivering quality work and making sure every job is completed the right way—no shortcuts, no loose ends.\nWhen you invite someone into your home, trust matters.

"Todd and his team are professionals. They were very thorough and progressed through multiple steps of rodding and jetting before finally having to dig in the yard to add a cleanout to resolve my sewer issue. The entire team was contentious and intent at every step. Unfortunately, my 60+-year-old pipes needed a bit more than could be managed from inside the house. Not only were they professional and aggressive in resolving the issue, but they were also very responsive to our urgent needs and showed up when they said they would for every visit. Great guys and fair pricing...highly recommended"

"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."

"Our drain was backing up and nothing was working . I talked with the owner and sent him pics. He gave my an idea of the scale of the job and was able to schedule us in right away. The worker showed up early inspected the job and had a thorough plan quickly. He explained the work to be done professionally and was very friendly. The whole job was completed within the time frame explained including cleanup. He tested and verified the repairs. I will definitely use them again . Pricing was very fair and reasonable."

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!

"Was very happy with the work performed. Gus is very easy to communicate with, easygoing and pleasant, and did quality work in a timely manner.  Was a good problem solver, too, when I had a couple of repairs I wasn't sure how to handle.  He is very up front about things he does not do, or that he has not done in the past, which I very much appreciate. (Never fun when someone says they can do something but has never done it before and uses your house for a paid educational session)
Will definitely be using Gus's services again!

"Dom came out to look at the sink. He let me know it would need to be rodded, but the pipe itself was very rusted and may need to be replaced. He tried he best to find a way to get the sink fixed that day without needing to replace anything. Unfortunately the sink is done. He was able to get a technician available right away for tomorrow to start the process of replacement. Very pleased with how this was handled."

"We had a blockage in our main sewer pipe under the basement floor. It turns out we had an old flood control gate that had collapsed. It was about 80% closed, so water was not able to get out of the house appropriately. I called several companies and not only was Robert's price reasonable, he was the most knowledgable and willing to talk through the issue and the solution. Robert, Phillip, and his crew were able to break up the concrete floor and replace the pipe despite the fact that it was encased in several feet of concrete and was located right near our fireplace. It was a bigger job than we anticipated due to the original pipe being encased in much more concrete than is typically used, but they were able to take care of everything without destroying the walls or fireplace. The new pipe was put in, and the hole was patched with cement. I can't say enough good things about the planning and work that Robert and his crew did. They were skilled and professional and a pleasure to do business with. Despite the large hole in the floor, the clean up was impressive. Half way through the process when we saw just how big and difficult the job was, I felt confident that we chose the right company. This problem could have been a lot worse, and I am glad we trusted Lincoln Sewer and Drainage to take care of it. They also noticed that our catch basin needed minor cement repair, and took care of that while they were here. I highly recommend Lincoln Sewer and Drainage, and I won't hesitate to use them again in the future."

"Mark kept us informed before during and after the project.  Due to previous damage to the tub Mark had to complete a repair before refinishing. Overall about 7 hours of work. I would not hesitate to use again.

"My range hood fell down and Nick needed to repair/replace some of the venting and reinstall the hood. Nick scheduled quickly with me and was on time. He had someone to help as the hood is very heavy. Both men were polite, professional and cleaned up after the work was completed. Nick also tracked down a part I needed that I could purchase myself cheaper and recommended a cleaning product. I had no idea what a project like this should cost so I can't comment on the price - I put A as I couldn't leave it blank and am assuming Nick is fair."
