Plumber Lead

Referred by Jens List member rfalikoff@gmail.com 

“We wanted to have glass shower doors installed and called Bill Syms. We texted him at 6am on Monday morning and was able to meet us that evening to tell us exactly what he could do and what it would cost. He also recommend an inexpensive alternative to get our bath/shower to look brand new. We had him do one shower door/faucet first and we were so happy with how it turned out, we called him back a week later to do the 2nd bathroom. We also had him back to help with some plumbing issues we had in our sink. He is very professional and courteous. If you are looking for someone who shows up when they say they are going to and does the job correctly and at a reasonable rate, call Billy at 818.515.3731.”
