Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"I called many places to see if someone could come and install a much needed commercial sink at work. Saul called me back and said he could be there in a few hours, and 3 hours later he showed up and installed the sink, faucet and replaced a broken toilet we had."
"Bought a new house and had a pre-purchase sewer camera inspection done. The plumber walked me through the footage and pointed out one section that would need attention in a few years. Honest assessment, no upsell pressure."
"Saul and crew are the best. Replaced our water heater, re-piped, and gassed up our kitchen and laundry room. Honest, fair, efficient, and went above and beyond. I could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend. Thank you!"
