Report
We need straight talk, quality, quick response - Plumbing works has it covered. Used them 3 times so far. If I was a plumber I'd save a lot of money (ha ha). Once they spotted a dangerous fume leak without being asked (verified by other expert). They give clear options and no pressure. They explain how the house aged, and show the old parts afterward to prove it. They point out old work poorly done. Terrific experience so far. Owner, take a bow.

They have not performed enough due diligence on the plumbing problem in my building and charged $75.00/ Hour when they just spent 15 minutes and left the place without even giving me the information and I had to request them to give me the information and all the problems they mentioned in the report is not even correct and when I hired another plumber he fixed everything perfectly for just $350.00 as against Plumbing works requested for more thank 5K. I would never recommend them to anyone ever.

I needed help last minute and Plumbing Works was able to send someone out within 2 hours. It's was a difficult job the way I wanted it done and feared that our wall would have to be cut out as we are about to list our home for sale. Shane did an amazing job and they didn't gouge me like most other companies. I'll have them back out in a week as our other bathroom has the same setup and we are renovating that as well.

Able to schedule an appointment quickly. Technician was polite, offered options, covered repairs made when finished. Price for repairs was competitive.
