Not every plumbing problem requires new parts or expensive replacements.

One of Tim's specialties is repairing older plumbing fixtures that many companies simply recommend replacing. Older shower valves, faucets, and radiators can often be restored to full function, saving homeowners hundreds or even thousands of dollars while preserving the character and quality of their homes.

If a repair is the right solution, Tim will recommended it. If replacement truly makes more sense, you'll understand why before any work begins.

the owner does the work

Large plumbing companies often send whichever technician is available.

At A & J Plumbing & Heating, every job is completed by Tim himself.

That means every customer benefits from over four decades of experience, careful workmanship, honest recommendations, and pride in doing the job right.

Sometimes the best service call is the one that isn't needed.

Tim has an exceptional ability to diagnose plumbing problems over the phone and is often able to help homeowners solve simple issues themselves. If a service call is necessary, you'll know exactly why before an appointment is scheduled.

His goal has never been to sell unnecessary work. It's to solve the problem.
