Alex is the opposite of all of these and is not only knows his stuff inside and out, he's a great human being. I always learn lots of tips for maintenance and repairs for diy repair work free of charge.

Every friend I've recommended him to has also given me glowing reviews about his work and there is no other person I would recommend than Alex with Charlie's plumbing! I can not give enough praise to Alex of Charlie's Plumbing & Drain for coming to my rescue. He came to correct a colossal screwup and damage caused by another plumber who turned out to be incompetent.

Alex was able to trace the exact reason the inept original guy's work was installed improperly and in fact turned out to not even be necessary. I wish I called Alex first and would have saved me so much money.

His prices are more than reasonable and he is professionable, friendly, knowledgeable, arrives when he says he will and he explains exactly what the problem is, the fix, as well as the cost up front. He can be trusted to not try to sell you something you do not need.

From now on Alex is my guy. Alex of Charlie's Plumbing & Drain is the only plumber I would actually recommend.

He is knowledgeable and provides honest and reliable service at a reasonable price. Additionally, his attention to detail is above the curve.

I own an older home which which requires a bit more regular maintenance. I've been using Alex for several years now and I will not call anyone else.

Alex is reliable, knowledgeable, honest, and fairly priced. He is the second-generation owner of this small family business.

I recommend him to clients knowing he will get the job done right the first time without suggesting unnecessary work. You can't go wrong with this company.

I live in a house built in 1942. I had a bathroom remodel and the general contractor did a poor job or directing flow and maintaining slope.

It lead to lots of trips by plumbers to clean clog in line. The last time it clogged after being overcharged (by highly rated yelp plumber) to snake the line I mentioned problem to my neighbor.

She said she had a great plumber. I called and Alex came out.

It was clear right away he is very knowledgeable, honest and looks for solution that will last. He explained the design problem and let me know I would have recurring clogs unless that was corrected.

I ended up having him clean up the mess my contractor created and now have set up they will be low maintenance for years to come. I am sure Charlies Plumbing does not pay to get featured but they are a company that deserves 5 stars.

Honest and fast service! We bought a new home and had plumbing problems right away. Alex was able to consult with us to make sure the insurance company was doing the job right.

He's helped us other times too with same day service. We really appreciate his knowledge and reliable service.

I called Charlie on the Friday before a holiday weekend. I was afraid we would be stuck with a big chain plumber and was so relieved to find an honest small business to work with.

I will call Charlie for any future plumbing work. Can I trust a company with so few reviews? YES! The first company I called had 400+ reviews with an average of 5 stars and was a total scam.

Charlie is an honest, 2 man business that doesn't advertise. What impressed me? This project started with a simple clogged shower drain.

Again, being a holiday weekend, I called a chain plumber to get the job done quickly. Instead, I ended up in a panic when said company glanced under the house, saw water and within 2 minutes of arriving was quoting me a whole new main and sub floor work.

That's when I found Charlie's number and called for an honest second opinion. He arrived within an hour, crawled under the house and did a thorough inspection to discovered it was just rain water! Oh, then he snaked my drain -- which was all I needed in the first place.

We had two blocked toilets; Alex fixed them promptly and at an excellent price. He's the real deal: an honest craftsman who does quality work.

I've used Charlies Plumbing twice, and both times I was very happy. WOW, Alex came fast, diagnosed the issue right away, fixed it without making a mess, and charged fair pricing.

Not only did he not try to upsell or suggest unneeded services, he told me I didn't need some of the services I was telling him he could do. Old school fast and honest service! Finally a plumber I can trust! Charlie had to redo the work of the plumber my HOA hired.

It cost half as much and it actually got done right. He did such a good job my downstairs neighbor hired him for future work.

He's very competent and honest. I have used Charlies Plumbing and Drain for the last 5 years and always recommend them, professional, courteous and always very quick to dispatch help.

Alex is my hero! Kind, calm, and understanding about how frustrating plumbing issues are. He was relentless in making sure my drain line was perfectly clear, verified flow from all drains in the house, and then he returned my washer and dryer to BETTER installed conditions than what he found them in.

Never calling anyone else!'''.Read less
