Michael is an outstanding plumber as well as an outstanding person. He came in and solved a huge problem and took care of a huge plumbing issue, replacing all the cast pipe in our house and did so meticulously. He was very careful to keep dust from the concrete to a minimum. He also reworked some of the existing plumbing to bring it up to standard. He is a problem solver and the most conscientious person we have ever had to help us. I am so thankful he was referred to us. I highly recommend him for any plumbing issue you have.
