I’m fully licensed and insured, experienced with everything from old steam boilers to the latest high-efficiency systems, and dedicated to delivering reliable, lasting results. I believe in honest communication, fair pricing, and showing up when I say I will. Whether it’s a small repair or a full installation, I make sure the job is done right the first time.

Hired on Thumbtack

I was having an issue with a valve not shutting to a bad washing machine. He showed up on Super Bowl Sunday morning, diagnosed the problem (bad handle good valve) and got the water shut off so I can get a new washing machine installed. Excellent. Will definitely be hiring him again handle (pun intended) the other plumbing jobs around the house.

Details: Yes, repair is urgent • No, the building is not currently flooded • Leaking pipes • Other pipe issue • Washing machine • House

Brad responded immediately to my request for service. He asked if it was ok to show up the next day around 3:00. Of course, it was ok. He showed up on time. I had 2 things I needed him to look at. The first was a pin hole leak in a 1/2" copper pipe my wall. I had already located where it was. He was able to go in through a smaller hole in the bathroom. He cut it out, replaced it/fixed it and was gone in 45 min. The second was I needed my Garbage Disposal replaced. I already bought one but due to circumstances I could not replace. He came back two days later and did a fantastic job replacing the Disposal. The price was very very reasonable. He was Professional and Attentive to what was needed. I will have him on speed dial and will definitely use his services again. Thanks Brad!! A+++++
