Excellent service. After contacting 7 plus plumbers over the holiday weekend, getting appointments with 2 who later called saying they would come sometime the next day, we found Bates.They said we dont have availability today but can be there between 10-12 tomorrow. Unlike the other companies who gave time frames as a wishing hoping time, we confirmed and they texted at 10:40 on their way. Diagnosed the problem, gave us a price, which seemed quite reasonable, fixed the problem and voila were gone in an hour. Very pleasant and competent team. Highly recommend.We will turn to Bates the next time we need plumbing help. And they accept Zelle!

They were very responsive and made themselves available the next morning. They diagnosed the problem quickly and fixed it quickly. The issue was a faulty water cartridge that they replaced at a reasonable price.

I called him up the next day. He arrived on time fixed the outdoor Spicket professionally and left it better than it was at a great price.

Mike was able to fit us in on a weekend. He turned up on time, and resolved our issue quickly and effectively. He was extremely professional and polite and we will be using Mike again for our plumbing needs in the future. We would highly recommend.
