We have a boiler in our home (floor heating and domestic hot water) that had an intermittant problem resulting in our shower turning cold (usually when you had shampoo in your hair). I tried other plumbers but every one just scratched their head. Lutz to the rescue. The tech (Vern) came out and pinpointed the problem and after 3 years of living with this nightmare, he fixed it. Vern was particularly good at listening to all the things we had tried so he didn't waste time trying those fixes all over again.

He took the time to understand our delivery problems and fixed a minor annoyance in addition to the boiler fix, because he listened to what I said. The other 2 plumbers we had tried (and one of them was authorized on this model of boiler) didn't even come close. Thank you Vern and Lutz Plumbing,

Needed 2 new faucets installed. Communicating via email took over a week to get work done Work was great. Plumber was friendly polite explained what he was doing etc. only complaint is how long it took to get responses and a comment that she would call on Monday but didn't call until Wednesday. Again work was great. They came highly recommended from a friend.

My steam unit needed replacement and Lutz was recommended by the Steamist company. Service was seamless and highly prompt from ordering to installation. Highly recommend Lutz for your plumbing needs.

Lutz takes the apprehension and guesswork out of calling a plumber. They're transparent in their explanation of scope of work, timely in their responses, and extremely knowledgeable about their craft and products. Throughout the past 30 years Lutz has been our choice for plumbing repairs and updates in our condominium. Most recently they completed bathroom updates that included new shower installation and new toilet.

They also just replaced an outdated furnace in our central heating system. In addition to their high quality work, they have their own show room that provides excellent guidance in appropriate product selection. The biggest advantage to this is that the team in the field is well versed in the products available in the showroom allowing for seamless installation when items are being replaced. Pricewise, Lutz might not be the lowest bidders, but for our household, they have been one of the best values in terms of quality workmanship, timely service, and open communication. We plan to keep using them for all our plumbing needs. Please include my family and me in the group of very satisfied customers.
