Very happy we chose Bill Howe! First Ron came by and gave us an estimate for a water heater and PRV. He was so thorough and took the time to truly understand the old plumbing in our townhouse. He went above and beyond and even crawled all the way under the house to where the water heater is! Brian ended up coming for the install and did a fantastic job! The price was very reasonable with a lot of warranty options. This was the middle price of the three quotes we got from other plumbers. Would definitely have them back next time we need a plumber!

Shout out to Bill Howe's drain technicians Josh and Ryan for their great services. First time customer of Bill Howe and after the excellent service I have received, I would strongly recommend their services. My drains were clogged and we didn't have access to our toilets or showers for a period of time. We had grey water coming up from the drains of our showers and bathtub, with a strong stench of raw sewage. Bill Howe's excellent drain technicians Josh and Ryan were quick, efficient, and straight to the point. They quickly identified where the cloggage was happening in the drainage system and gave us a reasonable price for drain snaking services and they immediately got to work. We thankfully did not have to wait for them to send out another crew to perform the service as they already had the equipment on their vehicle. A quick shake of hands and the drain de-clogging work was completed probably less than an hour, maybe less for our house size. As an added bonus even after the work was done, they even applied some light disinfectant to our showers and bathtub so know we don't have to worry about the strong stench it had before and so that we know it is disinfected. I will definitely be looking forward to any future plumbing services from Bill Howe if they have technicians like Josh and Ryan working there.

I had a great experience with Bill Howe Plumbing replacing my hot water heater. My previous one was 12 yrs old and wanted to replace it before any failures. I checked with several plumbing companies and chose Bill Howe for a variety of reasons. They are established, large number of employees, excellent communications, reliable, and a great warranty. A rep came out first to inspect and provide free estimates. The installer, Manny, was focused on doing a good job and helpful in answering any questions. I wanted a Bradford White heater. Very pleased with the results. Thanks to all.

future c.

I called Bill Howell because I had a big job to get done. They sent me the technician Leonardo Alvarez. Despite his youthful appearance, he was showed himself to be a very highly skilled, knowledgeable, friendly, hard-working effective technician. He helped install a new drain to fix a reoccurring problem we were having. He was really patient and explained any question or concerns I had. He worked effectively to get the job done. Pretty much all one could ask for. As soon as he was done with his big job he showed me the work through the camera and the drains were cleared of all the grease and sludge that wouldn't budge. I was happy with his job cuz he did the work to the best of his ability and communicated well with me to get a good understanding of his work. Excellent workmanship couldn't ask for better ????????????????
