Sam & Toby are great to work with. I have had service from Imperial Plumbing for years. Alway have done a great job.
Could not be more pleased
Here on time. Price quoted was still what I paid. Can’t complain.. other than the water heater went out in the first place, but that’s not on them.
Excellent service and professionalism.
Toby and his employee provided great service. Focused on getting the job done, interacted with me when necessary, informed me of what to expect and I am please with the attitude given towards getting the water heater repaired.
Told me what I needed and didn’t need. Straight forward and direct. Gave me a quote off the top of his head and was only off by a few dollars by the end of everything. I appreciate that a found someone RELIABLE.
Will use them again
Kept apprised of arrival time, status throughout diagnosis and installation.
