We recently encountered clogged drains in one of our full bathrooms. Lifetime personnel were genuinely concerned about out needs and problems and promptly sent out Miguel to address our issues. He quickly identified the problem and went above and beyond to do further investigation and found significant cracks in other pipes, which didn't surprise us being that our home is 70 years old. We inquired about redoing our entire bathroom insomuch as serious pipe work needed to be done. Miguel took care of everything. He made our problem his priority and returned day after day making sure everything was done and working correctly. His work was thorough and excellent! We were continually updated about when he was on his way. He even stayed late a couple days to make sure we had working Plumbing. He is extremely professional and prompt explaining everything every step of the way. The cost for us was very acceptable and fair. We couldn't be more more pleased with Lifetime, and how beautiful our new bathroom looks, but more so for Miguel's dedication to his profession and helping us. Outstanding company and Miguel's work is phenomenal!!!!

So far I am very happy and will likely use lifetime in the future as well.To start with I had a clogged toilet. I called and left a voicemail and got a response within 5 minutes. I asked how much they would charge for a toilet clog. Elvis asked some questions to make sure it was a basic clog and said likely $200 unless some other issues/causes. I asked if there was a diagnosis or travel charge and he said no. I asked how long til someone would be able to come out? He said about an hour and had come himself in 1.5 hours. This is all very rush so I appreciated this a lot. After it was all done he kept the price of $200 for the clogged toilet which is normal cost.I showed him a few things and asked for help with the pressure on my faucet. He cleaned the aerator and didn't charge anything. I asked him to install a handheld bidet and asked how much it would be. He said $100. This is considered on the lower end of cost for this. It is also a more honest charge as the install is very easy. He got it done pretty quick (15 minutes max) and I was good to go.He allowed a link through a credit card processor or zelle as far as payment. Credit card would have been 3.5% charge which he informed me about beforehand so I went with zelle.I asked how much to install new toilets as mine are the reason for this second clog and the install for 1 comes out to $220 but Elvis offered a discount for 2. Gave advice for what brand toilets to get and how much they would likely cost. Overall, I would recommend this plumber/company to anyone who needs one. He's honest, priced reasonably/well, and has done good work. What else can you ask for in a plumber?

If I could give more stars, I would! We had a low water pressure issue after having to shut off the main for some other work. As the home is over 60 years old, we knew there was a need to have an experienced and thorough crew to assess and repair the issue. We found that in Lifetime. Excellent, efficient work, and won't drain your bank account!

I had a frozen pipe. They were able to schedule people to come out the very next day and take care of it. All for a fair price. Excellent service, I will definitely be using them in the future for all my plumbing needs.

I hired Lifetime Plumbing to do routine flood control system maintenance and to address a slow laundry sink drain. The arrived on time and quickly got to work. The two plumbers were well equipped for the job; knew what they were doing; friendly; and cleaned up. Before hiring this firm I got proposals from a couple of other plumbers and their price was comparable. There's not much more I could expect or ask for. I highly recommend Lifetime Plumbing and plan to use them again.

I’ve used 4 plumbing companies until I found Lifetime Plumbing. Always on time, great customer service and also (probably very important) perfect and very meticulous work! Can’t say enough good things about them!

They installed the whole house water filter and water softener on my the laundry room. I am very happy with the workmanship and results.

These guys are a very hardworking trio of professionals. Elvis walked me though the process every step of the way.They were very punctual, did the very hard and complicated job to their satisfaction and mine.I am always leery of dealing with contractors but I came out of this experience with confidence in this company's honesty. More importantly, think that their charges were very reasonable. I will be recommending them to all my friends.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, we had a leak in the shower drain-pipe of our attic guest shower which flooded the guest room below. Within a couple of days Lifetime arrived to take care of the leak. Arby, the plumber who was sent, was intelligent, methodical, tidy and wonderful to deal with. Elvis, the owner arrived to check on the progress and stayed to help sweep up. We have used a number of plumbers here and at some commercial properties before and have to say we were very impressed with Lifetime and will most likely use them again.
