Positive: Professionalism, Quality
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Thad Plumbing! They were so professional from beginning to end. Hedi at reception was pleasant and friendly on the phone, and our service tech Tim was professional, knowledgeable, and kind throughout the entire service. We are so thankful we called Thad Plumbing!

Excellent service; very prompt, organized, and courteous. Agree with a previous reviewer: save yourself time and headache and call this company first. I had them install 2 new toilets for me. They provided an estimate during my first call to them (which was 100% accurate), ordered the toilets and had them on hand within 24 hours, and then arrived at the appointment time to install them exactly when they said they would--an rare and wonderful anomaly in the construction/home maintenance industry! They also have the capability of accepting payment and issuing receipts/invoices electronically

I called this company to repair a leak in a sewer pipe under my home. The pipe was easily found and repaired, However I was given a estiamte of about an hour ro repair the pipe. After the work was done, the bill was $233+ The other plumbers I contacted later offered a repair for $85.00. I am a disabled veteran (100%) and unable to walk, so I needed this repair done quickly. I didnt have time to call around for price quotes., and I didnt expect price gouging at a rate of $142/hr. The owner was unwilling to adjust the bill. The normal rate for plumbers is $90/hr. I would NOT RECOMMEND this
