The H+B Plumbing team were thoroughly knowledgeable with the heating issue that we were facing with our remodeling project. They offered us the perfect solution. They kept in contact with us effectively and arrived on time and with everything they needed for the job. Everyone at H+B, including the office staff, foreman and the professionals that completed the work were of the highest standard. I would not hesitate to recommend H+B Plumbing and Heating to everyone. They are going to be my first call for all of our Plumbing and heating needs now and in the future. Randy and Robin Benedict thanks for everything.

H&B came to my home on a Saturday to replace my sump pump. The pump had failed after torrential rains and filled my basement with water. The mechanic, Randy, was efficient, punctual and courteous. It was an outstanding job! I cannot say enough good things about their service!
