Had an emergency after I accidentally ran over my well cap and cut the wires — no water at all. I called Howard Plumbing and spoke with Jessica, who was so kind and got me scheduled right away. Steve and Dennis showed up quickly, fixed everything, and had my water back on in no time.
These guys are the real deal — a true local company, not one of those big chains. Super friendly, fast, and affordable. Couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them!

We're extremely pleased with our water heater replacement. (They also replaced two butterfly valves with proper valves.) Jackie, Alex, and Dennis were very professional and pleasant to work with. Everything is neat and tidy, and definitely looks better than our earlier installation. Also very happy with how quick Howard Plumbing were able to schedule the work. Highly recommend them.

Exceptional and timely service. I was out of town, and the folks from Howard answered my call late in the evening, and were at my house within an hour. Thank you!

Josh McKelton and his partner were friendly, efficient, and quick. They clearly explained what was wrong with my water heater and also shared helpful preventative tips. I appreciated their professionalism and expertise
It depends on the type of water heater, additional repairs to the water heater connections, the size and type of water heater, and accessibility. At Howard Plumbing we offer free estimates.
