"I called many places to see if someone could come and install a much needed commercial sink at work. Saul called me back and said he could be there in a few hours, and 3 hours later he showed up and installed the sink, faucet and replaced a broken toilet we had."
"Smelled gas in the basement late at night and called the emergency line. A plumber was dispatched within the hour, located the leak at a corroded fitting on the water heater gas line, and repaired it on the spot. They even came back the next day to re-verify with the gas detector. Truly appreciated the care taken."
