I'm sorry it took me so late to write this review. These gentlemen were kind and very professional. We called them for an emergent work thinking our pipes were frozen, turns out it was something else which these men were able to fix as promptly as they were able to. Highly recommend!

Great guys, fair price, good quality work. They even returned to fix an issue we had a couple months after the original repair without any issues. They stand by their work. Would hire again.

I’m a new homeowner and unexpectedly ran into issues with one of my toilets and a shower tub combo. Plumbing Doctors responded to my inquiry quickly and professionally. They completed the job the same day ( toilet rebuild of internal parts, fixing a valve, and a diverter and cartridge issue in the shower). I will say the price was way higher than I anticipated and budgeted for ( $1200) but I was also skeptical of using an uninsured handyman or sketchy company. At minimum they guarantee their work and you have a 1 year warranty. They also were friendly and just overall professional . They also have discounts for just responders and educators so that helped a little.
Details: 1 shower or bathtub • Combination shower and bathtub • Townhouse
PLUMBING DOCTOR, LLC's reply
Hi Kendra—thank you for trusting Plumbing Doctor and for the thoughtful, detailed review. We’re glad our team could respond quickly and get everything handled same-day on the toilet rebuild, valve repair, and the shower diverter/cartridge.
We hear you on price. As a licensed and insured contractor, our pricing reflects what protects you: vetted techs, OEM parts, code-compliant repairs, permits when required, full liability/worker’s comp coverage, and a written 1-year workmanship warranty with real after-care. “Cheaper” outfits often cut corners—no insurance, no permits, generic parts, or temporary fixes that can fail, void manufacturer warranties, and leave homeowners holding the bag if there’s damage. We choose the route that’s safe, documented, and built to last.
Appreciate you noting the team’s professionalism, and we’re glad our first responder/educator discount helped. If anything needs a second look, or you have questions down the road, reach us anytime at 908-873-6686.

Mike & Rob, very professional masters of their work from all the experience. Honest gentlemen even provided some helpful preventative information and stuff to upgrade in the future with some of my plumbing. Clean work didn’t track dirt in and out the house as most service guys can do. 5/5 Stars isn’t enough should be 10/10 Stars. I highly recommend this company. I look forward to utilizing their services again in the future.
Details: No, I do not need to replace a sink • As recommended by professional • 0 sinks • 0 faucets • House

Your kind words about their expertise and cleanliness mean the world to us. We’re especially glad the preventative tips were helpful! A 10/10 from you is the highest compliment, and we truly appreciate the recommendation.
We look forward to being your go-to plumbing team whenever you need us again!
