Paul is great with the pipes. He is accomodating and quick to respond to my frequent plumbing requests (pinhole leaks in copper pipes behind walls).

Paul has been amazing. He's fixed my valves for my washer, replaced the shut-off for my sprinklers and installed a toilet for me. Always responsive and thorough. Highly recommend.

We have used Universal Plumbing over the last few years for many different plumbing jobs at two older duplexes in North Park. Both Paul & Tom are very knowledgeable, professional, and it's a pleasure dealing with both of them. I particularly like that they do text messaging such that I know when they are 30 minutes out, can send pictures, etc.. It makes my job of being the "stuckee" for apartment maintenance much easier. I'm a retired engineer and I really enjoy the technical work these guys do. They know the code, everything is tight, gas and water lines are properly
