Mike came by promptly for our scheduled appointment to install a water line for our refrigerator. He was very professional and personable, suggested the best way to do it based on the layout of the space, and knocked the job out in no time. Great service, we will happily do business with Mike again!

We came home from a long Thanksgiving trip to find that our water heater had blown and leaked until one of our neighbors noticed water coming from our garage and turned off the water at the street for us. We found Mike doing a Google search and could not have been happier. Mike called back within half and an hour on a Sunday and quoted us a very reasonable price and he was out in an hour installing our new water heater. Before calling Mike, we had contacted another local company that stated we would need a lot of addition items and wanted to send out a project manager to close the deal. Mike stuck

Forget the big guys, Anderson Plumbing, Bill Howe, ASI, they all lie.
Mike at Primo Plumbing is honest, professional, reasonable, and does quality work. What else can you ask from a plumber these days. Please give your business to the small business owners. Give it to Primo Plumbing.
