STELLAR WORK! STELLAR PEOPLE! Would hire 1000 more times if needed! I highly recommend this company. They are incredibly knowledgable and always have your safety, convenience, ethics, and cost efficiency in mind! Everything they do they clearly have explained our options and worked with us on scheduling and making sure their work is to perfection in a timely manner. We have had a ton of work done in the last 6 months at our 9k sq ft home i.e Drain cleaning, Drain Jetting, locating and installing clean out access, repairing and securing a falling cast iron kitchen sink, fixing leaks, installation of 3 hot water heaters and more! Tim, Greg, Kevin, Chayenne, Eli, Tony, Jake, and others were just some of the stellar people that were so kind, great with our dogs, and so helpful with every concern and issue we have had! Choose this company! You wont be disappointed!

My elderly parents didn't know how to find a good contractor for a sink repair, so they asked me to help - which lead me to Core Plumbing. Tori responded to all my questions via yelp and made me feel at ease with having them come out and provide an estimate. Toni from core plumbing came out the next day and my parents found him to be both an amazing plumber and a delightful person to work with.
He explained all the items that needed repair and provided all the materials within the quote. Overall they gave Toni and Core Plumbing 5 stars and their expectations were exceeded. They wanted me to say that they highly recommend Core Plumbing!

We called Core Plumbing to get some assistance with our low flow kitchen faucet that had always given us issues. We had the pleasure of working with Kevin who was absolutely the best person to work with. Kevin was extremely professional, personable and kind. He walked us through the process with honesty and we felt like we were in good hands. He was very good at explaining what was going on! We ended up needing to replace our whole faucet which was not in our plans but everything ended up working great. Kevin did a great job and we would love to work with him again in the future.
