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 fianc 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

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.
