I would definitely hire Gene Burch Plumbing
Gene Burch's plumber arrived on time and was fully aware of my problem. He quickly described how he would approach the project and provided me with alternatives as to possible procedures and costs. Once I selected what I wanted done, he immediately set to the task and completed it quickly and thoroughly. He appropriately cleaned up after himself; provided an e-invoice for me to sign, then left. I would definitely hire Gene Burch Plumbing for future plumbing issues.

Excellent Results from Gene Burch
This is the second time in the past month that I've relied on the services of Gene Burch to excellent results.
Drew Jorstad
I'm impressed with the company and its workers
Brad F. remedied three areas of my home that had ongoing problems. Two of them had been “fixed” previously, twice. Brad was professional, skilled, and correctly assessed how to eliminate the problems. He worked steadily, was communicative, and cleaned up after. Sergio and staff Maria were also professional and helpful. I'm impressed with the company and its workers and would recommend them. They are not inexpensive, but I could have saved money, time, and frustration by having them here first.
Janet Willett
They did excellent work.

I recommend him (and Gene Burch Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning) highly!
Our clothes washer died suddenly. We bought a new washer and dryer from Best Buy, but when the team came to install, they found the water supply frozen (never turned x 20 yrs). Our neighbor recommended Gene Burch—having used them over the years and very satisfied with service. I called them on Tuesday, and Ivan came first thing Wednesday morning. He replaced both (hot and cold) valves and also the gas valve for our dryer. While there, he also replaced a leaky hose bib. Ivan was prompt, efficient, careful, and tidy. He explained everything to me. He is a terrific professional. I recommend him (and Gene Burch Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning) highly!
Stephen Lazarus
They are all way above and beyond just ‘good’—they are EXCELLENT!
I literally can’t recall ever wanting to give a business such a strong reference as I do for Gene Burch. If you EVER need any sort of help with ANY plumbing, heating, or A/C matter, do yourself a BIG favor and call Gene Burch!!
They’ve replaced & installed two toilets, a kitchen faucet, and replaced the ancient (they don’t make ‘em anymore) electric baseboard heating unit in our living room. Every single individual we have dealt with hasn’t been good… because they are all way above and beyond just ‘good’—they are EXCELLENT!
Very fair rates and willing to spend time educating you about your options and absolutely zero pressure.
I don’t just recommend Gene Burch to family, friends, or people needing these services right now, I say, “Put this name & number in your phones now & you’ll be fine no matter what.”
