Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Pipe Masters for their plumbing needs.
"Needed the main water shutoff valve replaced because the old gate valve was frozen open. Not a fun job since it required cutting into the foundation wall, but they did it right and it works perfectly."
"Good experience with Pipe Masters for emergency plumbing on a Sunday night. Toilet was overflowing into the hallway. They answered the phone immediately and had someone here in about forty minutes."
"Hired them to install a new shower system during our master bath renovation. They moved the supply lines, set the new valve, and added a rain head. The tile guy said the rough-in was perfect."
