It was my pleasure dealing with this local family owned business. Response time was remarkable in comparison with companies I have used in the past. Two issues dealt with; bathroom toilet repair and kitchen faucet replacement, both resolved quickly and efficiently. Their plumber, Reece, was extremely polite, friendly and knowledgeable. His attention to detail and making sure the job was done to my complete satisfaction are qualities that will guarantee that I will utilize their services when needed for any future plumbing issues and will recommend them to my family and friends. Thank you Reece and A1 Plumbing.

Five star service from start to finish. Here's how simple. Called number on site, Rick called me back within the hour. Told him what I needed and texted him my address and phone number, I told him no rush. The next morning Danny called me to come and talk to me. I told home what I wanted and we agreed on a price. Danny and his cousin (I forgot his name. Lol) went to home depot picked up the toilet and installed and did some other work in about two hours. Installed toilet and trash taken away and clean both bathrooms. Super fast, super clean, would recommend to anyone who needs a plumber. Totally satisfied. Thanks guys,

These guys rock!!!! Very professional, fast, intelligent, honest, and affordable! It’s un-freaking-believable that we still have small businesses in this country serving the community with great old-school customer service. Now I can sit on my throne with a smile on my face! Thanks, guys—you’re appreciated!

1 Star – A Costly and Frustrating Experience with A-1 Plumbing
I hired A-1 Plumbing through my home warranty to repair a leak in my kids’ bathroom, and it turned out to be one of the worst service experiences I’ve ever had.
While the warranty covered the plumbing, I paid $700 out-of-pocket to have the bathroom cabinets removed and reinstalled. I specifically asked if they’d be properly reinstalled and was assured they would be. Unfortunately, that was far from the case.
Poor Workmanship:
They left the drywall repair exposed, rough, and unfinished—no sanding, no sealing, nothing. The cabinets were reattached crooked, unlevel, and not flush to the wall. There were visible gaps, misaligned doors, and jagged edges. The entire job looked rushed and careless.
Unprofessional Behavior:
The workers used inappropriate language, made rude comments about my dogs, and even kicked bags around inside my home, making loud banging noises. I felt extremely uncomfortable and disrespected in my own space.
Lack of Accountability:
When I contacted A-1 to fix the issues, they first denied responsibility, claiming “it was already like that.” After pushing, they sent someone back—but the “repair” was even worse. A worker used a nail gun on my cabinets, leaving visible holes and even puncturing through the inside. When I confronted him, he told me to just use nail glue to fix it myself. One worker even admitted, “That was the best I could do.”
After several failed attempts, I finally reached the owner, Rick. Rick and his team left my house a mess and did not want to come back and fix my cabinet install and additional leak they made in water heater. But by then, I refused to let them back in—especially after learning that some of the offensive language I overheard actually came from the owner himself used while in my home and talking about my animals.
And now, it’s costing me a lot of money to fix their mistakes. I’m paying out of pocket to have the damage professionally repaired, and I fully intend to send A-1 Plumbing the bill. Their negligence should not fall on me financially or emotionally.
Final Thoughts:
This company left my home in worse condition than it was before. They showed no care, no accountability, and no professionalism. I absolutely cannot recommend A-1 Plumbing to anyone. If you care about your home and expect respectful, quality service—look elsewhere. I hope this review helps others avoid the same costly mistake.
