"Great service call by Jamie. He is very attentive and suggested some parts that needed to be replaced, thus avoiding problems later on. Overall excellent work. Highly recommend this company"
"Jamie Mcpherson was very friendly, prompt and extremely professional. It was late in the evening when I had him out to fix the faucet in my bath tub and even entertained my 4 yr old who was curious about what he was working on. I would happily recommend his services in the future to anyone who needs a plumber."
"Jamie and Corey did a fantastic job replacing our old water heater. Fast service, good quality work and friendly. Highly recommended!"
"Corey diagnosed the problem very quickly and came back the very next morning to replace and update my 60 year old taps! It looks amazing and the quality of work shines through. Corey was very pleasant and personable and cleaned better than I do before he left!
This is the second time I have called Canada Plumbing (I was so happy with the toilet repair the first time I called again for my leaky bathtub taps) and now I wouldn’t call anyone else!"
"Call a plumber, call a surgeon, call a barber. They all do jobs you shouldn't do yourself. Speaking of job #1, henceforth, I will call Canada Plumbing. The company did a good job, a clean one, and they made good decisions on parts. They explained the work thoroughly without talking-down. Cory, from Canada Plumbing, blessedly replaced the shower hose, including the cobra-thing that spits out water (funny I did that three-weeks ago), and the faucet below, which had seized up. The new parts seemed good quality to me. Showering will now be a luxury instead of something analogous to washing the dog indoors. Same deal with the kitchen sink, or rather faucet, which was leaking in mysterious, increasingly dangerous patterns. I knew it needed replacing. I did it myself 15-years ago. This time I didn't feel like exhausting my lexicon of four-letter words in the first couple of hours of a 30-hour haul, broken by visits to Home Depot. Cory from Canada Plumbing started at 9:15am and was done and wiped-up by 11am. Pleasant surprise: both jobs totaled less than $500. Bathroom PLUS kitchen including all parts, labor and whatever. Canada Plumbing had come well-recommended and it goes well-recommended."
"I have called on Jamie and his team on multiple occasions to help out with various plumbing issues, and some of them on an urgent basis. He's always incredibly quick to respond and a real professional. His fees are always fair and he's excellent at staying true to his quote. Super honest and down-to-earth business to deal with - I would highly recommend them."
"Can't say enough about the service provided by Jamie and Corey - both top notch people and solved my issue quickly and effectively. Thanks guys!"
"From the beginning to the very end it was a pleasure working with Canada Plumbing. I will definitely use their services again when needed."
