Introduction

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*

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.

Miguel was as great as they come. He came by to remedy a toilet and tub part issue. He was thorough, transparent, kind, and went the extra mile to better inform us about our home plumbing and things to look out for. I have him on speed dial when I need future assistance. Hire Miguel for your plumbing needs, you will be so so glad you did!

I contacted Miguel to replace some old valves on the supply lines intended for a new washing machine at my mother's 70+ year old house, including the main shut-off valve, and to assess other valves for potential issues. Miguel was very responsive and punctual. He identified other valves of concern but didn't pressure me to replace them unnecessarily. He also proposed a solution for adding a new drain pipe for the washing machine (which he would have installed on the spot if he'd had the right part). Miguel was a pleasure to work with: professional, personable, courteous, and knowledgeable. He explained his work and rationale clearly, and offered objective, informative advice. I'll definitely hire him again.
