Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"My hot water was not working so they replaced and adjusted the regulator valve, then repaired the shower diverter and replaced the hot and cold valves. Now I can easily have hot water and it feels like a new shower again. They even picked up the parts I had ordered in Hollywood at Ferguson Plumbing Supply."
"Great job! Definitely recommend to others. Quick response, professional work, and fair pricing. Would use again without hesitation."
"Late-night leak under the kitchen sink, had someone out within 90 minutes. Stopped the leak, replaced the shutoff valve, and I could finally go back to sleep."
