EXCELLENT Based on 407 reviews Posted on Google ThistlefinchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Plumbing issues are always stressful. Jonathan and Billy replaced our shower valve and made light work of it. Additionally, they are excellent conversationalists! What a pleasant experience opening our home to them. Well done Paws Plumbing!Posted on Google Josh SullivanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Made what I thought was a catastrophe into a quick and easy repair. I’ll refer all my friends and family to use Corey at Paws Plumbing.Posted on Google Roberta FossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing professional experience. So grateful for them to have customer service support who understood the urgency and sent out a team who was extremely knowledgeable and had all the supplies with them. This experience is worth it and I found the pricing a good value for the high level of service and expertise of the licensed plumbers onsite. Michael, the lead is the BEST. Thank you to PAWS for a job well done!!! Would give 10 stars!Posted on Google Nicholas BrunoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve used Paws for multiple things in the condo from kitchen problems to two toilet installations. By far one of the most honest and up front companies I’ve used and the only people I will use for all things plumbing related. Great customer service when you call and the service techs are always just great guys who make sure you understand everything. We had Jonathan in the house today and like the others, 100% professional and nice to work with.Posted on Google Dominique O'BrienTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love these guys. They always go the extra mile to make sure the repairs are done right but also quickly.

“Emergency call on a Sunday — burst pipe under the kitchen. Brett’s team answered fast and had someone out within the hour. Saved us from serious water damage. Can’t recommend enough.”
