I've been doing business with Ike for about 18 years. My wife and I purchased my grandfather's house from his estate at about that time, and we just happened to pick him out of the yellow pages. Yep, that's right; the actual phone book! Google wasn't really a thing yet. The house was built in 1928, and was in terrible disrepair. It had been used as a rental; but, honestly, no maintenance had been done. The roof leaked; the plaster was falling down, due to water damage. . . . Someone should have filed a complaint, though luckily for the family no one did. We called Ike to repair/replace some faucets that were no longer working. He came, did the requested work, and said, You know, since you've opened up all the walls, you really should consider a total copper repipe job. We discussed price; he pointed out that sooner or later it would have to be done, as the entire system was the old galvanized steel, barely holding together. I think it took us five minutes to realize that he was dead-on right, and we contracted him for the job. The only thing better than making that decision was the fact that fate lead us to him in the first place. Ike is totally honest; fair in his price estimates; a completely skilled tradesman; and never pads the job with anything unnecessary. And a bonus - he's a bit quirky and a very humorous guy. He's very humble, and gets down to it very quickly. If you need plumbing services, I'm telling you that you'd be a fool if you didn't call this man. For anything from a quick drain clear, to a major repipe, Ike is the man to call. Don't waste your time shopping around, or take a lower bid. I don't know if he's the lowest; but he certainly won't be the most expensive. But if it were to come down to it - I don't care, and neither should you. Call Ike, and look no further - period! I promise you that you won't regret it, and you'll get the best plumbing service money can buy!
