I am so pleased that I found Mike who has consistently been very professional and reliable in handling both my plumbing and gas heating needs. Mike always shows up when he arranges an appointment. As to his service, Mike always either discovers the problem and solves it or if it is out of his scope, of expertise, he recommends another qualified provider. I highly recommend Mike and his company, Ideal Plumbing & Heating.

Since we did not move to MA and cannot hire VonCo (Dave's uncle is a fantastic plumber!), I have tried a few local plumbers for some small jobs. Hands down, Mike at Ideal Plumbing and Heating is the best. Not only is he experienced, but he is the utmost professional. I have never seen a more organized, prompt, and thorough contractor. Highly reliable and deserving of your business. He will be my go-to from now on! Service area includes Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill.
