As always, the technicians @ Baethke's are awesome, friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. Ron Page went through several options for us in the replacement of our water heater with clear explanations which helped us make a solid decision regarding our choices. There was no pressure, just honest conversation. He even contacted the water heater company to see if the warranty was still applicable on our busted water heater. (We just bought the house a year and a half ago.) During the installation of the new water heater, Ron answered all my questions ( I like to hang out and see how such things are done) and shared tips for better and more efficient water use ( what temperature should be set to and why, etc.) Baethke's is an awesome company! And Ron a wonderful technician and person.

We have been having issues with our toilet so I filled out the website form and received a scheduling phone call literally right away! They were able to send someone out later the same day, and called when he was 30 mins away. This alone sets them above other plumbers we've worked with, but on top of that Mike was lovely, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We have a working toilet now just a few hours after my original call, and a new plumbing company to call next time we need one!

Great service. Called and they came the next day. A bit pricey but do you really want the cheapest option for something as important as plumbing? Highly recommend. Ron and Mark were fantastic. Services: Water heater repair, Faucet repair

Strongly Recommend: I would like to give these guys a very strong 5. Had an issue with our sump pump and wanted to replace it. Contacted them and they reached out to me really fast: Initially messages John and he mentioned that Cathi will be helping you with that. In less than 2 hours, Chris came to our house and found the issue. He provided the options that we have and of course his recommendation.
He was very a helpful, polite, professional person who knew what he was doing. He answered all of our questions and was very patient. Both my wife and I were very happy about their work in general. Thanks, Chris and the entire team.
