We had tried to install faucets ourselves in our 1970's home right before Christmas and were unsuccessful. With guests on the way, Cornel was able to get us onto the schedule and complete our job. Even coming back early the following morning when it was discovered that the faucet we had bought from Lowe's was missing a vital part that we had to go get. Above and beyond! Cornel saved Christmas! We will definitely be doing business with them again.

I recently had to have my kitchen faucet replaced and I am so grateful I was referred to Cornel's Plumbing! I was able to get a next day appointment and Eric Santiago, the plumber who was assigned to my job,
was totally professional, skilled, and so kind. Eric called with his ETA, arrived right on time, and took care of replacing the broken faucet without any issues whatsoever. He provided an estimate before doing the work which was very reasonable given the nature of the job and the urgency involved. I highly recommend Eric and Cornel's Plumbing to anyone needing a trustworthy, reliable, and

Cornel Plumbing is a great company to work with. They re-piped our entire house with minimal disruption, completed in a timely manner. I trust them completely to do the job right and to stand by their work. Frankie and Alex H. we're great employees that we worked with. I would recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs.

Tony and J. came out the other week to unclog my underground drains. I had my gutters cleaned previously and the technician told me I needed to contact professional plumbers to do the job since he couldn't. Cornel's was very responsive, professional, and did the job quickly. They unclogged all of my underground drains so now all of the rain from the gutters is re-directed away from the home again. I'll definitely hire them again in the future!
