Zach presented as both knowledgable and confident in his ability to assess and diagnose the issue my furnace was presenting after not having a functioning heater for several days.

It was a pleasure having Zach out to service my heating unit, and I look forward to working with JB Plumbing and HVAC in the future.

Cameron was punctual and competent. I appreciate him coming out so quickly yesterday and this morning. I just wish he wouldn't have stepped on my bathroom rug with muddy boots on
Construction projects in one’s home is always a large and scary undertaking. From the moment I met the project manager, I knew I had made an excellent choice. I had a new bathroom constructed, not a remodel, and it was a complicated undertaking. Every step of the way I was beyond pleased with the quality of the work and the individuals who did the construction. Clearly the company has a high standard of performance and the finished bathroom reflected that high standard. Each day the project manager would let me know who would be coming the next day, when they would arrive, and what they would be doing. The workmen were excellent and obviously took pride in their work. The whole experience was positive and the finished bathroom addition is beautiful.
Excellent professional service from Zach and his apprentice Jacob
