What recent reviews say

Hughes Supply stocks quality plumbing parts big-box retailers don't carry, backed by staff who know their products and serve both contractors and walk-in DIYers with genuine expertise. Named staff like James and Marlina consistently go the extra mile, answering questions thoroughly and often solving problems on the spot. The appointment-only showroom model and weekday hours frustrate some browsers, and phone responsiveness is a recurring pain point.

Anderson Plumbing responds quickly to emergencies and charges competitively, especially for septic and sewer work. Clint, the owner, earns trust through hands-on service and fair pricing, though the business sometimes declines smaller jobs or cancels near appointment time, citing limited staff capacity.

Same-day emergency slots and clear explanations from named technicians set this outfit apart. Reviewers consistently note Austin Gill, Anthony McMillan, Jeremy, and others arrive on schedule, diagnose problems without pressure, and tackle cramped or hot-weather repairs with visible professionalism. Eight years of annual HVAC contracts and same-day plumbing appointments speak to reliability that keeps clients coming back. Staff handle gas line, drain, and water-heater work with equal care, often spotting secondary safety issues (electrical hazards, secondary clogs) and fixing them proactively. Older homes and tight spaces do not faze them. The office coordinates fast appointments and sends photo updates, so customers know what to expect.
