Modern Plumbing is fantastic. Mike is a splendid person to get to know in addition to his knowledge as a master plumber. Mike did an excellent job of replacing a gas hot water heater with a commercial grade State 50 gallon. Mike reworked the existing gas supply line that looked like a pretzel from a prior install. Mike methodically made the install look like a work of art. Pricing was competitive and beat several other estimates.

Mike put in a new water heater for our family today. Extremely fast service! Mike and Karen were absolutely awesome people to deal with, and talk to. They were friendly and fun. The pricing was very fair. A wonderful experience, at a great price. We will be calling Modern Plumbing of the Triangle for our future plumbing needs. A absolute 5 star experience. We highly recommend Modern Plumbing of the Triangle!
