Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"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!"
"Fixed a hidden leak behind the drywall without tearing apart the whole wall. Impressed with how precise they were and how quickly they found it."
"I never gush over crew, but this company saved us. Plumbing back-ups are a non-starter for most days but on a Friday panic call, Saul picked up and was there first thing. He problem solves. Saul and his team are undeniably the most professional plumbing team I have ever hired. On time, reasonable rate, professional work and communication, great personalities, and they cleaned up when done."
