I found Gene the Plumbing Machine when we first got our house 4 years ago and needed repairs. He was able to come out the next business day and got everything done. We've had no issues with his work in the last 4 years when he came out. Then recently, I recommended him to a colleague whose plumber fell through and he needed someone asap. Gene was able to come out the same day! He was so happy, it made my day that I was able to refer someone so reliable and responsive.
Now, 4 years later, we found a different leak, called the office on a weekend, got a call back about an hour later and was able to schedule an 8:30 am appointment the following Monday. Gene was able to fix the leaky shower without having to cut holes in the wall and he was able to stay longer and fix the other plumbing to-do's that we've put off.
Plumbers are not cheap, nor is it a highly skilled (and at times gross) labor that I would cut corners on. I'm guessing he's right around the middle in terms of how much plumbers charge. I really appreciate him, his office and especially his work!
