We have used Young & Bowman for many services over the past 10 years - HVAC replacement and routine service, plumbing issues, etc. They always get to us quickly even when other companies tell us it'll be days or a week. They go out of their way to be helpful, they are reliable, friendly, I find their prices fair including when I price compare with other quotes. They have taken the time to teach us a few things about maintaining our home. Going forward Young & Bowman will be my FIRST call, EVERY time, for EVERY service they provide.

We scheduled them to install our faucet and garbage disposal. When we called, we were told to pick any garbage disposal, so we did. When the plumber came he said Moen is the worst brand and then told us we bought the wrong kind, we need cordless. When my fiance tells him that we were told by the woman he spoke to when he made the appointment we didn't need a specific garbage disposal, he said we can't listen to the office because "they are just two women who don't know what they're talking about". Yikes!
The plumber was impatient with us for buying the wrong garbage disposal, and said he couldn't do anything and wouldn't be able to come back for days. I walked out of the room and my fiance stayed with him asking what we should do - we just need to get a new garbage disposal that doesn't have a cord. So we call the office when the plumber leaves to see when we can get another appointment and the woman says tomorrow. Great.
Then we get a call back and the woman says the plumber won't be returning to our home because we did not take his advice and he's an expert of 25 years and she hung up on us. Steer clear of these guys.

Kevin from Y&B is very friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. He is fair with his time and gets the job done quick and on budget. I would recommend Young and Bowman for sure! Service: Plumbing pipe repair

Water heater install was nicely done, but the actual cost was more than 2x what I was quoted over the phone. Plumber arrived around 845 and his assistant around 9 but wrote down 8 as start time for both on the invoice.

Cannot say enough about how awesome and professional these guys are! I got in touch with them on Sunday because my hot water heater was leaking. They got back to me immediately and we started the process of warranty information and hot water heater information. They arrived at my home by 8:30 am and all work was completed by 9:45am. The price was VERY reasonable. They were professional and clean! They are coming back in the spring to do my HVAC maintenance! Thank you Dave for the great experience! Lisa Nesci
