Used this firm for a few plumbing issues I had with kitchen sink, slop sink in laundry room and service valve at meter. The serviceman, Jaime: was super professional, works clean- you'd never know he was there when he left and best of all he addressed all the issues and I'm super happy with how things turned out. The appointments were on time, always got a text from Lauren in advance of service and I'll be sure to call them in future if any other needs arise. Very happy with the work they did for me.

Found Steve Basso's services on the back of a previous positive Google review, so thought right to add one in (1st review I've done). Initially engaged Basso do do annual AC and Heating service, given poor service received (i.e. responsive and uninformed) from a large local provider (I live in Greenwich, CT) inherited from house purchase in 2020. Found Basso team to be informed, polite, clean, responsive and puncital.
Then engaged them in 2022 to quote for replacing 30 year HVAC and boiler unit. Found quote to be competitive and what we asked for - options A, B and C. Only one of 4 quotes we did not have to chase down, and structured as asked. Removal and install took 2 weeks. Team delivered on time and on budget. Clean and respectful also. Would recommend Steve Basso and his team in a heartbeat. Gio

Called them multiple time to setup an estimate to replace my condenser which is not a cheap job. Missed out on a huge pay day. To your reply: I didn't get your email on the 6th. Even with poor cell service I would received a voicemail to return your call.

This company was amazing. I called them a day before and had a technician at my home the next day. Where as other places I contact denied me service or were to busy. The technician Jamie arrived on time pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable. Very hard worker. He knew exactly how to do his job. I'm very happy with him and his job performance was great. I will recommend this company to others. Over all if I need them in the future they are the ones I will call. Nina was great! My husband and I are very happy and satisfied with Steve Basso Company thank you so much!

We had Steve Basso's tech out to replace the faucet and piping in my daughter's bathroom sink. There was not a lot of room to work in the small bath but they did a great job and charged the exact amount of the estimate. My second experience with the company and I have been pleased on both occurrences. Hate to have to call a plumber but making this call is easier as I know the service and pricing will be great. Thanks!
