He gave me a great deal and walked me through the pricing to ensure I was okay with everything. He kept me informed on our progress and was very respectful and courteous. He did a great job on our tankless water heater install and even informed us of a rebate from the gas company. Jose is an excellent employee and I will certainly use Larry’s plumbing with all my plumbing needs. Thanks Jose!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very timely communication with management and quick response by a technician to help with a very slow/clogged kitchen sink. Tech was professional, considerate, and enthusiastic in getting my aging mother's kitchen up and running. I would certainly recommend to anyone in their service area.
