This company has been fantastic. We've had them out on a few occasions, and the plumbers have always been professional, personable, efficient, honest and up-front about cost and necessary repairs. They aren't the cheapest company out there, as other reviewers have said, but knowing a job will be done right by a true professional is worth a little more, in my book. Additionally, we have never had to wait more than a day for extremely necessary services (clogged toilets, clogged main sewage line out of the house). they have always been able to squeeze us in. Glad we found them and I would highly recommend them for any plumbing needs.

Any negative reviewers are either psychotic or talking about other Brown Plumbing companies. It can't be this one. I have used this company numerous times over 15+ years and never received anything less than first class, highly professional service. They never lift a wrench without first going over the price, what's covered, the warranty, etc. and having you sign off on it. LJ Brown is not the cheapest but they are as professional as they come right down to their paper booties.

They stand behind their work. Right now they are replacing my two-year-old grinder ejector pump for FREE. They made this ugly job a priority and came first thing. If it breaks during the next three years, they'll come back again. First thing. For free no less. Try beating that.

I had L Brown co. out to the house. They repaired some old crusty valves and did a nice job. They even labeled a few other lines I didn't know what they were. Very nice tags that clearly identify my lines and those tags won't fade anytime soon. Price was not the cheapest but I thought it was fair. My out of pocket would have been more DIY. Professional. Nice trucks. Etc. Recommended for plumbing issues. Thanks again.

Woke up Saturday to find my water heater leaking badly. Call LJ Brown, left a message with their answering service. Had a call back in 4 minutes and Dan on my door step an hour later. New water heater installed and he was out the door by noon. This company really understands the definition of customer service. Thanks for saving me, AGAIN!
