Brian and his guys are the absolute best! We have used McGuane plumbing for years now. Brian is very responsive whenever issues arise and has taken our calls after hours to make sure we had an exceptional experience. You can tell he really cares. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

I discovered McGuane Plumbing through a bathroom remodel where they were a subcontractor. They did a great job with that, so when we had a toilet come loose and flood a little, they were my first call. They came out only an hour later and had it fixed in an hour. Turned out that the flange holding to the floor was 30 years old and just fell apart. Really appreciate the speed of service and the cost was very reasonable. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent experience with all our plumbing needs about one year ago with one big and many smaller projects in our 50's house! Brian and Chris are both very professional, friendly, and caring about each problem and finding excellent and reasonable cost solutions. We continue to appreciate all their work and will definitely call if we ever have any more plumbing needs. If you are in search of an excellent plumbing company, this is the one!

Brian and team were fabulous in working on my older home, installing fixtures in a remodeled bathroom and replacing older plumbing fixtures throughout the home. Brian took the time to understand my house, my wishes and made great recommendations along the way.
