"My hot water was not working so they replaced and adjusted the regulator valve, then repaired the shower diverter and replaced the hot and cold valves. Now I can easily have hot water and it feels like a new shower again. They even picked up the parts I had ordered in Hollywood at Ferguson Plumbing Supply."
"Magnet Plumbing fixed a leaky kitchen faucet and installed a new toilet in the master bath on the same visit. They were in and out in a few hours and cleaned up everything before they left. Will absolutely use them again."
"I never gush over crew, but this company saved us. Plumbing back-ups are a non-starter for most days but on a Friday panic call, Saul picked up and was there first thing. He problem solves. Saul and his team are undeniably the most professional plumbing team I have ever hired. On time, reasonable rate, professional work and communication, great personalities, and they cleaned up when done."
