Beverley Husson 2025.12.15

#1. Yes, your entire team was awesome!! They couldn't have been any more pleasant and very respectful. #2. Yes, Garrett called and informed me he was about 10 to 15 minutes away. I believe I was the first appointment of the morning. My window was between 8am and 12am! #3. Every person I talked with was extremely courteous, very professional, friendly and presentable. #4. Yes, the job I had for Garrett was fixed quickly and he was kind enough to show me and explain to me what happened with my issue. I will definitely leave the fixes to the professionals! #5. I absolutely WILL recommend John the Plumber and Garrett to everyone. I did get a quote from Garrett for another job in the new year so will be calling back and will definitely ask for Garrett to do the job.

Alda Santos 2025.12.09

We had this company doing a complicated plumbing job, the pipes access was difficult and we needed to cut part of a wall. We had a few estimates from other companies, they were high and the explanations of the work were very convoluted. John the plumber estimate was clear, concise and the price was not cheap but affordable. They were respectful and understood that they needed to follow the condo restrictions. I will not recommend this company. I was very disappointed with the quote we received for installing 1 shower head with cartridge and possibly 2 a job of about 2 hrs, the access is easy but I was told they work by the job not hourly therefore they charge 78,00$ for the quote deductible if I give them the job, the grand total was 958,01$. I guess they will not get the job.

Cost wasn't what was quoted, didn't solve issue.

Eric installed the exact replacement exterior water tap that I wanted (1/4 turn and freeze-proof) and brought my plumbing to code with a shutoff valve that was missing! Very professional and pleasant experience! I also commend the company for supporting serving military and veterans with a discount - bravo!

I had a great service experience with John The Plumber. I booked the appointment online , Ryen was there on time and he changed the whole-not working toilet with a new one on the same day. I am really impressed by his hard and clean work, and done in a jiffy, big relief! Thank you!

Our experience was very good. Zack was very professional and easy to deal with. Scheduling was a little challenging, but we eventually we able to find a time on fairly short notice (we had a sump broken down). I would return for repeat business.

Robert Gardecky 2025.11.13

My house is 63 years old, as is the plumbing. Some of the joints did not look too good, so I called John the Plumber to take a look and advise me. They sent Garrett who called ahead and arrived when he said he would. He was very courteous, very pleasant personality and very professional. He advised me that the joints seemed ok and should be fine, but there was no way he could guarantee that they would not leak say 1, 3, 6, 12 etc months down the road, due to the age. He suggested that I leave it as it is and call him if/when I had a leak or if I preferred, he could go ahead and replace the affected area (about 6 feet). He gave me a price to do the repairs, should I want to go that route. 1-The price was reasonable and 2-I loved the fact that he was not trying to pressure me in any way to just go ahead and do the repairs. Rather than wait til there was a problem, I had Garrett go ahead and do the repairs. I wanted a new shut off valve and Garrett had one in the van. That was fortunate for me, because that was a last minute request by me. This is the third time that I have used John the Plumber (all for different repairs). I can't say enough about what a pleasant experience it was dealing with Garrett. Just a super person. John the Plumber are not cheap, but you get what you pay for. They stand by their work with a two year guarantee where a lot of others give you say 90 days or 6 months or maybe a year, if you are lucky. In all my 3 service calls, it was always speedy, excellent service, pleasant and polite professionals. They came on time, did excellent plumbing work and left the area spotless afterwards. Whether you are dealing with Garrett of someone else (Mat, Crispin, Ryan, Brad etc) Your home is in good hands. I highly recommend John the Plumber.

I wish you could give 6 stars too, but we'll give the guys an honorary gold star. You ever need us , don't hesitate to reach out!

Madelene 2025.11.13

Eric was friendly. Giving me a quote on his phone of roughly $400 before he has seen the toilet. He notices flange is broken, said he was sorry, it would cost $300, toilet was already removed. What was I supposed to say? He bought a new one and did the labour i bought my own toilet to keep my costs down. Final bill was close to $900 with 10% senior discount. I was overcharged. I understand plumbers are expensive., but a toilet install, this high? There was no break down of costs for each job or purchased flange. the company is happy because I paid an etransfer. It's difficult to trust trades people when plumbers call the shots.

Andy Kwak 2025.11.10

I had a minor emergency when I went to turn off my shut off valves to winterize my outdoor hoses when the valve itself started leaking.. Called John the Plumber and they were able to send Eric out quickly. They kept me notified as to when they'd arrive and he was able to come a bit earlier than expected (which was much appreciated) Eric talked to me about the two options for fixing things and made sure I was making an informed decision. He was super friendly and went above and beyond to ensure I understood the fix and some tips for the future. Would recommend and consider for future projects.
