Hands down the best service from Rob at Yellow submarine. He was polite, efficient, professional and cleaned up like he wasn't even there. He was in a situation where he was having to work in busy resort kitchen environment and was mindful of the staff working around him. And did I mention how tidy he was!! I also want to add that Adriana was awesome. It was a last minute emergency call at 3 and she made it happen! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend Yellow submarine plumbing.

I was very impressed with the service provided by Rob. He was knowledgeable & thorough, explaining everything that was found in the inspection & providing different pricing options for completion of each. I appreciate that the cost was based on work completed, rather than per hour + work done. Rob was friendly & the space was left spotless. Very impressed & happy with the work!

Super happy with the service received. Was pleasantly surprised that they did a full home inspection as part of their service. I only had one pressing issue to be addressed at the time, but the inspection revealed all the other issues that need to be done in the future. Some I was already aware of, some I was not. The technician , Ron was a true professional and was very informative and thorough. Would definitely recommend Yellow Submarine to others.
