Tai has been consistently responsive, timely, and professional with all his work at both my home and office! I can't recommend him highly enough.
Smooth and quality work. Changed yard faucet location.
Tai was very friendly and was able to fix my slow draining sink quickly. He was also willing to give me a quick assessment on other plumbing in the house.
Glenn and Tai are so professional, punctual and friendly. Thank you!
We love Big Island Plumbing! Tai and Glenn are responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. They've slowly helped us upgrade and improve the plumbing in our 100 year old house. And are about to help us with a kitchen remodel. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Big Island came back and corrected a mistake they made 2 years ago, for no charge. Good guys! They stand behind their work.
We had an awesome experience with Big Island Plumbing - they were easy to communicate with, quick to scope the job, fast to complete the job, and did great work! Thank you!!!
Glenn was able to completely repipe my older house. He offered choices and understood the finer details. Don’t let his age be a concern. He has many years of experience. He is a hard worker. He has the latest tools and methods. He finished in much less time than I imagined but his estimate was right on. My wife and I would highly recommend him.
