Had a problem with our shower. It was almost like one video game. It went very hot or very cold. You had to play with the handle constantly to get it somewhere in the middle where it was warm. It was at that time you had to try chance it and wash the parts quick. Within a minute, you would scream from McDonald's lawsuit coffee burns or you would cover up from frozen shrinkage shame. After one year of this, we figure it made sense to get this fixed.
We reached out to a handful of companies through Yelp. A lot of them responded back with what felt like a blind estimate. We didn't give much details, but they said they could fix it for $1k or more! Crazy!
Pipeline plumbing responded quickly with a recommendation that they come over for to provide a free estimate. They even made arrangements to come after our work hours.
With peoples schedules and spending is tight, this sounded tops!
Met Stewart (who is also the owner) and the appointed time. He took a good look at our setup and gave us his recommendation along with a price. The price beat the competition hands down! He explained what and why each thing needed to be done. It was obvious he wasn't the typical plumber that gives you the full moon flash while he tries to fix something.
He also looked at the most cost effective way to fixing the problem. During the time he worked on our problem, I took some time to talk story with him. He talked proudly of his co-workers and their many strengths and personalities. Made you want to meet them. He also talked about the challenges of running a business. He probably shared more than he should have, but it was refreshing to hear someone who took pride in the work that he did. This is the kind of person who won't install an $20 Alibaba shower head that claims to de-age your skin because he doesn't know the brand and wouldn't want something like this break. He would recommend something that he trusts would work or not do the work at all.
After the installation, I looked over the work and made like I had plumbing skills and gave my approval. Bottom line was that everything was fixed with no extra holes or streams of water coming anywhere. This man does quality work. Seriously!
Bonus points since he didn't comment about our messy bedroom and dirty bathroom that I'll
Just blame on my wife since she doesn't read my reviews (no say anything). It's all her.
Would I use him again? Definitely.
Would I recommend him? Yup.
Does he make mean Chicken Katsu bentos? Probably not, but go look at a different review if you like dat.
This is probably the longest I ever wrote a review (which was probably why I brought up chicken katsu). If you need a plumber, call these folks up for a free estimate. You can tell them Matt sent you, but they not gonna know who that is since I only met the owner. Regardless, they will take good care of you.
I would post pictures, but then you would see my homeless quality cleanliness of a bathroom. Sorry.
