About

Hello my name is Miguel from Proper Plumbing. I am a volunteer fireman and love to give back to my community. Plumbing can be simple or complex and I enjoy educating our customers to point them in the right direction for their plumbing tasks. I do flat rate pricing which i feel is in the best interest for the customer. I’ve been a plumber for 13 years and enjoy helping people out. *Military/ first responders 10% discount*

Let me first say i am that person who handles all the repairs in my home and would try over and over again to get it done before i have a professional come to my home. This necessary repair had to be done and i debated for a while. Miguel was very professional and punctual. His work was first class and left no mess once the work was completed. He also explained to me the job he did and answered all my questions afterwards. I will definitely hire Miquel again.

I had a broken pipe at home, and he did a fantastic job fixing it. He explained everything clearly and got right to work. You could tell he knew exactly what he was doing. The repair was done quickly and professionally. Really appreciated his honesty and fair pricing. If I ever need a plumber again, I’ll definitely be calling him.
