  • Review 1 (2024-09-05 - Rating: 5)

    I tried replacing a leaking shower cartridge but the metal had fused and I was afraid I was going to break something big time. So I did what I had done before, I called Larry! I sent him some pics and he told me that it could go easy with the cartridge coming out, or it could go harder with him having to replace the whole faucet unit. But I appreciated him telling me upfront what might happen. He showed up early the next morning and unfortunately he had to cut the old stuff out and do a full replacement. HIs crew did the job quickly, were very professional, and cleaned up after themselves. And Larry charged me a very fair price for the whole job, which meant a lot. Ill tell you this, Larry is a gem, he isnt out to rip anyone off and he truly is a stand up guy. If you need a plumber, the first one I would call is Larry, you wont be disappointed!!!

    The Plumbing Company provided excellent service! They were prompt, returned calls and texts, were knowledgeable, AND did not try to sell me anything,.....just fixed it! And were nice, polite and all that good stuff that comes with excellent customer service! I am delighted that I have a plumber I can trust, and know they will be honest with great prices. So glad I picked their name out of someone elses review!

    Chances are if youre reading this review youre looking for a plumber. Do yourself a favor... stop what youre doing right now and hire Larry and his son for your needs.Larry is hands down one of the best specialized contractors youre ever going to encounter when attending to your home or commercial needs. Hes friendly, outrageously responsive, and very matter of fact (which I really appreciate). Hes exactly the kind of person you want to invite into your home and take care of the things you trust the professionals to do. The work he does is reliable and the costs are extremely fair especially given todays economic climate. Hes very straight forward with his evaluations of the issues and will do all that he can to make sure that youre taken care of.Before I do anything water related in my home, I reach out to Larry to get his take on it and honestly, thats the extent of my due diligence; my family and I trust him that much. I dont typically write reviews, but this one is so necessary since the attitude, demeanor and the quality of work are second to none. The plumbing company is one of a kind.Thanks Larry!

    Superb Master Plumber with pricing that beats the competition—they did outstanding work on our home plumbing project.

  • Review 5 (2024-02-07 - Rating: 5)

    Michael, and his son Larry, just fixed an issue with our bathtub drain. Excellent service and excellent work! Larry was highly responsive upon initial contact. Arranged for himself and MIchael to come the very next day, and fixed the problem quickly. He was very honest about issues encountered, and was able to figure out the best (and least expensive) solution. HIghly recommend if you are looking for an honest, personable professional with reasonable prices and great customer service.

    Master Plumber and Owner Larry Wilson and his son do exceptional work at a great price. A trustworthy, family owned business, they beat the competition on pricing and did outstanding work removing a cracked kitchen faucet and installing a new Moen. Honest and fair, they stand by their work. That’s priceless.

  • Review 7 (2023-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    100% recommended. I just had Larry and his son, coming in my home to fix a clog and a sink leak. I cant begin to describe how great they both were. Larry came in as soon as i called him, took the time to analyze the issue, and fixed the problem right away. He does great work at a great price!!!!!!!

  • Review 8 (2023-03-19 - Rating: 5)

    I have been using Larry for the last four years since the first plumbing issue in my first home. For every issue, big and small, he squeezed me into his already tight schedule without compromising his integrity or quality. His pricing CANT BE BEAT and he comes with 37+ years of hands-on, honest, personable experience. Hes the type of plumber that comes in to do a bigger job, like a water heater, and if he notices something small (like a kitchen sink with low pressure) he fixes it right then and there without beating you over the head for more money. There is literally no one else like him in any service industry Ive ever met and thats why, when it comes to plumbing, Larry is and always will be my one and only go-to guy.Thanks for all you do, Larry! And thanks for treating my entire family - the dog included - with respect and greeting them with a warm smile. You truly are second to none.

    I’ve been using Larry for 20 years now, for big projects as well as small maintenance issues. I trust him 100%. Great troubleshooter. Great with old house issues. Cares about doing it right. He has taught me a lot. An all-around great guy.

  • Review 10 (2023-01-26 - Rating: 5)

    THE BEST OF THE BEST!! I would never call another plumber. Larry and his son have fixed 3 big plumbing issues at my home and each and every time I’m AMAZED at their quality of work, compassion, and knowledge of how to quickly diagnose and fix all plumbing issues! Not to mention the honest value of their prices. I’m grateful for The Plumbing Co because they care about the hardship plumbing problems cause a family and they work hard to eliminate this stress from your life fast. These guys are great! Thank you sooo much!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

  • Review 11 (2023-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    Larry was friendly, responsive and a great communicator. I understood his process and all that was happening every step of the way. He helped isolate and then repair a leak in my hot water pipe. He went out of his way to assist with all my panic and work to get me back up and running. He and his son work quickly and effectively. I would recommend him highly!

  • Review 12 (2023-04-03 - Rating: 5)

    I discovered my expansion tank leaking on a sunday morning. The contractor I called did not work and wasted my day. I called Larry in the evening and told him what the problem was. He first asked if i shut down the water valve, I said i did. He told me to send pictures, told me what it was going to cost and we agreed. He came the following day as agreed with his son Michael and replaced the damaged tank. I appreciated that he did not try to sell me other services or talk bad about other business.

  • Review 13 (2020-03-30 - Rating: 5)

    Larry was phenomenal! We just bought and moved into a house and on the first full day in the home, we had water back up from a drain and completely cover an area in the lower level. Being a Saturday evening, I called Larry and left a message for him to call back on Monday when hes starting the day; he messaged me just a few minutes later to make sure it wasnt an emergency situation, get some more info (with pictures) and came over the next day (on a Sunday!) and got us fixed up in no time at all! Super professional, nice guy, and really took care in the area he was working in as well. First time homeowners, and first time ever calling for a plumber in my life; thank goodness it was Larry that I found through Google!

  • Review 14 (2021-06-14 - Rating: 5)

    Larry came out to fix a leaking valve the same day I called. He noticed that our plumbing needed additional work and fixed it on the spot. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Their prices were very affordable, I would highly recommend the Plumbing Company and specifically Larry. Outstanding service.

  • Review 15 (2021-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    I was very fortunate to find Larry Wilsons business, The Plumbing Company, when I was in desperate need of someone to replace our hot water heater. Unlike other contractors, he personally answered my call and, although already very busy, he agreed to fit us in. After stopping by later that day to inspect the job, he procured a new hot water heater for us and had it ready to install by the start of the next day. A few hours later, we were up and running with hot water coming from our brand new hot water heater; I couldnt be more appreciative! I would enthusiastic recommend Larry and The Plumbing Company for your your household plumbing needs!

  • Review 16 (2022-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    Larry & son Michael did a great job repairing our sewer ejector. Fast, and quality work! Very happy and will use them again with plumbing issues. And he noticed a toilet issue when leaving and repaired that also! Happy to leave a five star review!

  • Review 17 (2022-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    Larry is simply the best! If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy plumber who is not going to rip you off, then by all means call him and you will be extremely happy with his service, like I was. I had a leak in one of my bathroom pipes when I called him (no voice mail he answered my call personally.) Although he had a very busy schedule, he still made time for me and came to my house within the hour. He diagnosed the situation, took time to explain to me all my options, he was the ultimate professional. His long experience in the plumbing business was obvious. More than that he was very concerned about my problem and explained to me the best way to avoid costly repairs. He is a people person, someone that you can talk to and he will understand your concerns; I must say I never had anyone come to my home for a service call who was as pleasant and who left me as satisfied when the job was completed.IF YOU NEED PLUMBING WORK, CALL HIM, YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID!-Don P.

    This is the fourth time I contacted this company (tried to leave a separate review but apparently Google only allows one from each customer) . As before Larry was professional, on time (even though he had other jobs waiting) and efficient. His pricing was upfront, fair and reasonable. Ive always had the sense he was extremely honest. Again TERRIFIC SERVICE!!!

  • Review 19 (2020-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    Larry, is amazing. My first time looking for a plumber, thankfully it was Larry. He told me what might needed to be done and if it was too much for him, he would not do it. Love the honesty. After looking over the problem, he fixed it right away. He told me what he did and how he did it. I found my plumber. Will call him for all my jobs in the future.

  • Review 20 (2022-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    I had a few issues I needed to resolve. I left a message for Larry, and he got back to me right away. He requested pictures of the problems so he wouldnt have to charge for a consultation, and he provided a ballpark estimate. Larry showed up when he said, explained what needed to be done, fixed my problems, and charged well within the estimate. He is professional and courteous, and I highly recommend him.

  • Review 21 (2018-07-11 - Rating: 5)

    Im a first time home owner, so calling someone to repair things you know nothing about - especially plumbing - could have been a stressful experience financially and personally. Larry took the time to look at the many issues the house had, walk me through what he would do, and put in some major work to get everything right. He was cutting, soldering, crawling into access panels and fixed ALL of my issues in an hour and a half. Not only that, but he showed me how to prevent the issues from happening again. His work was clean, he was extremely polite and personable, but most importantly he was genuine and honest... I also couldnt believe the price when he told me the work hed be doing and materials hed be using - MUCH cheaper than I had expected. I hope I never have to call a plumber again but if I do, I know who Im going to - LARRY!!Thanks Again!-Jeremy

  • Review 22 (2023-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    Larry was great. I was told needed anew toilet and Larry made repairs and toilet works fine. Would definitely call him again if needed. Highly recommended.

  • Review 23 (2023-06-05 - Rating: 5)

    Clogged kitchen drain problem.I have not had a more pleasant experience engaging with trades professionals. Nothing BS about their pricing, work ethic, efficiency and responsiveness. I recommend them highly and will let friends know they are the go-to guys.

  • Review 24 (2020-10-05 - Rating: 5)

    I had a drain that was clogged deep in the plumbing system and wasn’t draining at all and a slow draining toilet. Larry showed up on time, diagnosed and fixed the problems quickly and for a fair price. Very knowledgeable and professional. I will be using this company for any of my future plumbing needs and would reccomend them to anyone in need of a plumber.

  • Review 25 (2018-04-22 - Rating: 5)

    Larry and his employee were fantastic!! They replaced our laundry faucet in our basement and also did a acid treatment on our toliet. They were professional, polite, and friendly. Great price for work well done!! Thank you!! Will use again for future plumbing work and I highly recommend!! Diane & Anthony Paulino

  • Review 26 (2016-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    I found this company with good reviews on the internet (also rated highly on BBB) so I called at 10 am on a Monday. Larry picked up right away. I asked him if he could fix a leaky water shut-off valve, and he said he could come over by noon. He arrived promptly, diagnosed the problem, and replaced the valve at a price way less than charged by the bigger companies. He was very friendly and willing to explain what he was doing while he worked (since I showed an interest) - so I got a mini-plumbing lesson during the process (he knows his stuff!). When he shut off the main water valve, he noticed it was leaking as well, so he tightened it for me. He says he has been in business for years as an independent, and I was impressed that he had everything he needed on his truck. I felt totally comfortable having him in my house and will call him in the future if I have other plumbing issues.

  • Review 27 (2019-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    I discovered a leak yesterday that rendered our dishwasher and garbage disposal useless. Larry returned my phone call within minutes and had it repaired before the end of the day. His invoice was beyond reasonable. Thank you Larry!!!

    This man came a plumber left a friend, returned a friend to do some plumbing. I love him, you’ll never call another company and he’s not just a plumber he’s a handy man. The man fixed everything I’ve been nagging at my husband about I.e the banister the kitchen faucet, the door knob, the fence out back lol like I said a friend. Very very knowledgeable, call him and see.

  • Review 29 (2021-04-05 - Rating: 5)

    Larry was extremely helpful and quick when it came to helping us with a clogged tub. We had standing water and did his best to come out ASAP to fix the problem. Great service and extremely knowledgeable.

  • Review 30 (2020-05-05 - Rating: 5)

    Larry made time to come out and assist me the same day, was hugely competent, and saved me a ton of money walking me through the parts of the job I could take care of myself. I will definitely call him for future plumbing issues (hopefully not too soon!)

  • Review 33 (2020-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    This was the third plumber I called when my 85 year old father had a water leak that required the water to the whole house to be shut off. Larry came in 30 minutes.

  • Review 34 (2024-02-24 - Rating: 5)

    Larry and his son Michael are the best! I would give 10 stars to The Plumbing Company if it were an option. This is the second time I’ve had them out. He responds pretty much immediately. He cared about my schedule and although it wasn’t an emergency, he came out the very next day just as he said he would. His pricing is fair and he is honest. Very happy with the new sink faucet installation and appreciate all of the time he took to answer all my inquiries! Call Larry if you have an issue, you won’t regret it!

    Larry is a heck of a guy and one heck of a plumber.I highly recommend.

  • Review 49 (2023-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    Larry is very responsive and helpful. I called him for a leaking water line to the icemaker in my refrigerator, and he actually answered the phone, and then texted me instructions and asked me for pictures so he could help me troubleshoot and mitigate any immediate concerns and damage. He communicated effectively to help me fit into his tight schedule, assessed the problem quickly, quoted me a price, and fixed it within an hour. I will absolutely call him again for my next plumbing issue. The communication was so impressive.

  • Review 50 (2021-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    I called Larry early this morning. We discussed my problem briefly and he gave me a plan for when he would arrive for service. He arrived on time ready to work. He had my drain cleared in short order. He was very professional and personable. His charge was very fair. The Plumbing Co. is a quality organization. Thank you Larry!

  • Review 51 (2021-10-20 - Rating: 5)

    I chose Larry based on Google ratings and comments. It was a good choice. Had 3 relatively minor plumbing jobs to do and Larry handle them well. Excellent quality, easy to work with, pricing was in line with what we expected. I’ll use him again if we have additional needs.

  • Review 52 (2020-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    Very impressed with Larry. I didn’t have a reliable plumber and wasn’t sure who to trust. Larry showed up the same day, fixed the leak, provided honest work and charged reasonable rates. I am so grateful to have found a local, Master Plumber, who’s friendly, on time and trustworthy. If you don’t have a good plumber, call Larry.

  • Review 53 (2022-07-13 - Rating: 5)
