You Call Brenden. Brenden Shows Up.

It's simple. The guy who answers the phone is the guy who comes out, looks at it, gives you the price, and does the work. Got a question next month? You're calling the same guy.

  1. Call or text me a photo. Tell me what's going on. A photo helps me show up with the right part.
  2. We pick a time, and I call the morning of. No waiting around all day wondering when I'll show.
  3. I look, quote, fix, and clean up. You get the price before I start, and the mess leaves with me.

How Pricing Works (No Upselling)

Here's how I keep pricing honest, plain and simple:

  1. You get the price before I start.

    Not a range, not "we'll see." A number. You say yes or no.

  2. I fix what you called about.

    You called about a leak, so I fix the leak.

  3. If I spot something else, I tell you and write it down.

    You decide later. No pressure, no "while I'm here" add-ons.

Free on-site estimates. One-year guarantee on my work.

The guarantee covers the work I did, not the rest of your plumbing, unless the job was a repipe. Then it covers the whole system.

What I fix

Water Heaters, Softeners, Filters & Drains

Most of my calls fall into these five. If yours doesn't, call anyway.

  • Water Heater Repair & Replacement

    Tank or tankless. No hot water, a puddle under the tank, or rusty water from the hot side. Text me a photo of the label and I'll get you a price.

  • Water Softener Installation

    Crusty faucets and spotty dishes usually mean hard water. I'll tell you straight whether a softener is worth it for your house.

  • Whole-Home Water Filtration

    Cleaner water at every tap, sized for your home and where your water comes from.

  • Drain Cleaning

    Slow sink, backed-up tub, or a main line that gurgles. I clear it and tell you why it happened.

  • Water & Drain Line Repair

    Leaks, burst pipes, frozen lines, and worn-out pipe in older homes.

Plumbing for Old Homes and New Builds

  • Older homes

    Old pipe, shut-off valves that won't turn, fixtures nobody has touched in decades. I work carefully around what's there and tell you straight what's worth replacing and what isn't.

  • New builds

    Fixtures already wearing out, softener loops ready to hook up, and the first water heater starting to go. Better to catch it while the fix is still small.

Before I opened my own shop, I spent two and a half years on commercial jobs like this one. It taught me how a whole system fits together, and I bring that to every house I work on.

Questions Homeowners Ask

  • Do you charge to come look?

    No. On-site estimates are free. I come out, take a look, and give you the price before I start.

  • Do you guarantee your work?

    Yes, for one year. The guarantee covers the work I did, not the rest of your plumbing, unless the job was a repipe. Then it covers the whole system.

  • What happens if you find something else wrong?

    I tell you, show you, and write it down. You decide if and when. I won't do it today just because I'm already there.

  • What if I call after 5?

    I work Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, and I get back to people within the day. After hours, text me a photo and what's going on, and I'll get back to you the next workday. If water is spraying, shut off your main water valve first. It's usually where the water line comes into the house.

Still wondering about something? I've answered more common plumbing questions here.
