Mike is a true professional and excellent at what he does. I have an older house that had a gas leak and he came in on short notice and worked his tail off until the job was done to make sure that no leaks existed and we could get our gas turned back on. He is prompt, courteous, thorough, and super knowledgeable about all things, plumbing and HVAC. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Details: Yes, the location has an existing heater • Gas tank (standard) • I already purchased the water heater • House

We worked with Mike and Ethan, very personable, professional and looking to do the right thing for a reasonable amount. We had a backed up bathroom drain and needed to replace our P-Trap. I would recommend to others if they had a need.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will never charge you to walk in the door (unless your a landlord). I will explain the issue and possible causes. Give you a price to repair/replace and allow you to make an informed decision.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
EPA certified through IVY Tech but life long curiosity on how things work.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
After 15 yrs in a manufacturing plant I realized I was utilizing my talents in the wrong environment.
