It is so refreshing to find a company that understands customer service. From the initial call to the completion of the service call, these guys were professional, knowledgeable and customer focused. Our technician Cormac was fantastic. He was on time and diagnosed the problem and the options to fix them. He was upfront with the cost of the service. He explained the issues and was attentive to my questions. These are the guys I will use for any future plumbing needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Josh H. just couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. His work was excellent, which is what I have come to expect from John Baethke and Son Plumbing. Terrific company and consistently excellent service! I highly recommend them.

I'm beyond happy with the plumbing service, customer service and quality received from JBSP. They were responsive and friendly and provided answers to all questions I had. We had a tight timeline to get something fixed and they went above and beyond to accommodate. I appreciated that they documented everything with photos as well and recommending what can be done in the future to prevent our situation(rotte d/broken water heater).
In terms of cost - I get why they seem a bit more expensive. They are a total example of you get what you pay for. They are a quality service that guarantees their work. Worth every penny. Highly recommend.
