Hired on Thumbtack

John was prompt in responding to our request, knowledgable about the faucet that needed repair, and able to come and fix it around my scheduling needs. The entire experience was a pleasure I highly recommend hiring Best Plumbing.

John Gallagher offers great service in every respect. He's actually looking out for you -- this kind of service is very rare, and even more rare at John's reasonable price. He had no problem taking my call and answering numerous questions about his past Thumbtack experiences and my situation in general. He was patient, thoughtful and happy to educate me. I called him on a Sunday and he showed up 30 minutes early for our appointment on Monday. Punctuality like that is uncommon for a contractor. He told me he had 40 years of experience and that became perfectly clear when he showed up -- within a few minutes he had my full trust and gave me invaluable counsel on how I should deal with my illegal bathroom that needs to be removed to cure a NOV/citation. Unfortunately my existing contractor changed his mind on allowing me to have John do the work (that's a long story) but because of John's expert knowledge I am now able to approach the work my general contractor does with a discerning eye. I know what needs to get done to pass inspection and I won't get coaxed into thinking it's 2 days worth of work when it's actually a half day. John will be good to you, so be good to John.

I called John for a nasty clog in the train of my bathtub that I'd been battling for a few days. He offered me the best rate and came in within 2h of calling him. He was very professional and got the job done within 45 minutes. Would definitely call him back in the future!

John came to my place to investigate a mysterious shower leak. His experience was evident right away--he identified several possibilities quickly and then tested each one. He spent over 3 hours to make sure we isolated the exact cause and then made the repairs. He was patient and in good humor the whole time. If you need an expert opinion, give John a call!

John helped us out for what we at first thought was a simple toilet clog. After the initial efforts to snake the pipes didn't work out, we soon realized that there was a much larger blockage that had built up over the years in the main sewer line that required cutting out and replacing a section of the pipe. John was always communicative about what he suspected the issues were, and he was great about answering our questions. He was always on time (if not early) to all of the appointments. We are very satisfied with the quality of work he did. I would definitely hire John again for future needs.
