Richard responded to my work request very fast and scheduled to come out the next day. He was professional and repaired the turn off valve to an outside spicket. I would recommend and use his services again. Thank you Richard!

Motor City Building LLC did an awesome job with a drain snake on my plumbing issue. Super professional, responded right away, and got everything taken care of quickly. They also explained what was causing the problem in a way that actually made sense. On top of that, they offer home renovation services too—and I’m definitely planning to hire them for future work.

Motor City Builders came out and stopped the flow of water into our building. They came out on a Sunday afternoon within in one hour of our call. We will definitely work with them in the very near future!

Richard was fantastic. on time, professional, and easy to communicate with. He did quality work, stayed longer than expected to make sure everything was done right, and went above and beyond throughout the job. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and treats your home like his own. I’d absolutely recommend him and will definitely work with him again. Worked on kitchen drains, outdoor spigot, toilet install and gas fittings.
