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. I focus on clear communication, attention to detail, and making sure your vision is fully brought to life. No task is left unfinished, and no concern goes unaddressed.

"I use them every year and they always get the job done quick and at a fair price. They always take the time to explain any issues or potential issues."

"Fair price, great communication and easy to work with. Updated some out of code issues found while doing the water heater replacement for a very minimal charge. Would use again and recommend to anyone needing plumbing work!"

"Entire experience with Green Tech Plumbing was excellent, start to finish. A power outage shut down my old hot water heater with a message indicating the control unit needed replacement. I called another plumber for a service call, who indicated that to replace the control would be about $1200. Because the heater was already 10 years old, I thought it would be more cost-effective to replace the heater entirely. I got quotes from the first service company then requested quotes from several other companies specifically versed in installing AO Smith water heaters. Not only did Green Tech respond quickly, they had the lowest quote by far (a full $1450 less than the highest quote for installing the same model), Kevin at Green Tech also took the time to see if they could first get a control unit for a more reasonable cost and simply replace it (it was less but still high enough that I opted to replace the unit; however I appreciated that he did his due diligence). They were able to schedule to come out to replace the unit the next day, texted in the morning to let me know when they would arrive, and the two-man team actually arrived a bit ahead of schedule and set right to work. Work was completed within the estimated 3 hours, including removal of the old unit to the alley (where their scrap metal person picked it up withing 90 minutes). Service Tech (Mike?) let me inspect the work, answered my questions, and waited until I ran the faucets in my house to make sure all were in working order. I had also asked them to unclog an outside drain that was causing rainwater to backup and come in under my basement door. They threw in that rodding at no extra charge! Whole work area was left clean and neat. Could not be more pleased and would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks to the whole team."

"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"

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!

"It went great. AJ responded quickly and figure out the problem. He then was able to replace our outdoor faucet which had broken."

"They had great customer service. They came over in the 2 hour window given. They called before arrival or that they were on their way. The only concern I had was that they were going to leave the tree roots on my front lawn but I brought out the garbage can for them to dispose."

"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.

"Trust! I think trust is most important in choosing an expert to fix a problem. Of course experience, knowledge, ability and integrity are also needed. But trusting the reviews written by others or trusting the recommendation of a friend is sometimes all we have to go by. I had a clogged drain about 15 feet “downstream” from my kitchen sink. It was the result of overzealous use of the garbage disposal. I tried snaking the drain myself but the clog was too big (turns out about 2 feet of drain was totally blocked). I did research on several websites looking for a plumber in my area who I could trust to do the work right - at a fair price. I narrowed the list to 4 companies. At 7:15 PM on a weekday I called each of them. I got two answering services that could not answer any of my technical questions, another said they would have someone call me back “in a few minutes” (never happened) and then there was Dmitry. Dmitry is one of the owners of CJ Plumbing. He answered the phone himself. He was able to discuss my issue intelligently, explain the likely scenarios and give me an estimated price range (min and max) for the job. It was clear from his questions and his input that he understood the problem and knew the likely solutions. As it turns out, he was absolutely correct about the issue and what it would take to fix it. I wanted to consider what he said before making a commitment. He said I could call him back anytime in the next few hours. I called several hours later and again he answered the phone and we scheduled a visit for the following afternoon. The plumber who showed up (not the person I spoke to) was a delight to work with. He was professional, polite, and patient as he answered my many questions. He tried a few “easy” options to fix the problem (e.g. using a powered drain snake). When those did not work he said the best option was to cut out the clogged section of drain (which he had located) and replace it with a new section of pipe. The clogged part of the pipe included two 90 degree bends. He removed that section and replaced the sharp bends with pairs of 45 degree bends to allow waste to pass through the more easily. The drain pipe ran along the ceiling of my unfinished basement so there was direct access to the pipe. After replacing the section of pipe he verified that there were no leaks and cleaned up the area of the basement where he worked as well as the area under the kitchen sink. He even cleaned the sink. I was VERY pleased with his work and with his personality. The cost of the repair was within the range quoted on the phone (though near the higher end). My trust in CJ Plumbing was rewarded by their performance and their honesty. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to friends and family. I recommend them to YOU."
