“Woke up this morning to no heat. Called on call and the office staff was very friendly. They told me that Joel would be coming out to service my unit. Joel was very fast and efficient. I had heat in a couple of hours. Highly recommend”
“Nate from On-Call Plumbing is awesome. He came to my house last minute on a Friday to fix a hose bib that had been leaking for quite some time. He was very thorough and took the time to explain what he did and how he fixed it. Other companies told me the entire hose bib would need to be replaced, but Nate simply replaced the knob on top and solved the problem. It’s refreshing to work with someone who is honest, practical, and willing to go the extra mile instead of pushing unnecessary work. I really appreciate people like Nate and will definitely continue working with On-Call Plumbing in the future.”
“Super fast. Jeff was fantastic! He fixed the air issue in the attic and checked out my unit to make sure it was good. He didn’t try to oversell me, instead focusing on what I needed today with suggestions on what would be best in the future. He was professional and hella knowledgable. I plan on using this company going forward for my HVAC. :) Thanks Jeff!”
