Went there looking for an old kohler velvet valve.no luck but the woman assisting me went above and beyond to get me some info I could use going forward. Her effort was appreciated considering she didn't make a sale.

Broken water pipe. I called late on a Saturday night, no other plumbers answering calls at that time. Their answering service (a person, not a recording), connected me to their night man, Aaron, who first said he couldn't come since I wasn't a regular customer. However, he called me right back to tell me he couldn't let me go through the weekend, and that he would come up to Fairfield and do what he could. He made the repair and stopped the flood, with very quick work. Even though the cost was time and a half (after hours, no surprise), it was well worth it for the fast and effective emergency repair.

I have used other plumbers in Waterville for my rental properties because they were cheaper than Houle's, but that was always a mistake. In the end, using Houle's would have been cheaper. They do their job and know what they are doing. They are reliable, trustworthey and dealing with their professional staff is a pleasure when you have had to deal with others who are working out of the back of their van.
