  Another service provider I've trusted for years recommended Vern's plumbing to me, when I related that I needed a plumber. I called Vern's for an appointment to repair a leaky spigot attached to the water main to my house. The plumber was efficient, and carefully watched the pipes and valve assembly to assure no further leakage. He also nicely conveyed the details and terms of the work. About two weeks later I called Vern’s plumbing with another unrelated problem that involved an area of wet ground that seemed might be from an underground leak. I had noticed it weeks ago, but had to wait till a few days of dry weather for the plumber to see it. Vern’s again arrived timely for the appointment. The plumber inspected the area, fully explained every possible angle that could cause slight seeping, and recommended that it is not a concern. He kindly took the time to describe what to look for to know if it needs work in the future. Most surprising, since the rain prevented addressing this issue during the previous appointment, they waived the second service-call fee! I am delighted to find a plumber I will call on for any plumbing issue, and glad to recommend Vern’s.

  Needed a plumber to repair a leaky water heater on a Saturday. Not a problem for this crew. Darren was punctual and courteous. Explained the scope of the work and the rates up front. Upon repair, Darren encountered another issue and created a temp fix to keep hot water flowing for my family through the weekend until the new part arrives later in the week. Very satisfied with the service and recommend Darren and Vern’s anytime.

  The owner's son, Ron, came to the house to scope out our sewer line problem. Paid his fee of $249 at the time, he diagnosed the problem, quoted a price of $250 to take care of it and we scheduled an appointment for 10:00 on the morning of 1-7-20. Got a call that morning that their serviceman was running behind and to expect him around 12 noon. He arrived at 1:00 p.m. Then he proceeded to tell me that he did not bring the proper equipment and we rescheduled for 10:00 a.m. on the 9th. I received a call that morning at 9:15 to say that the service man was on his way over. Normally that would not be a problem but I was on my way to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription for my wife. Never made it, I turned around and came back home. This time I was presented an invoice for $175 more that the original quote. When I objected, the service man called the shop and then told me that he did not have the proper equipment with him to do the job. This was a scenario that the Three Stooges would have been proud of. I told him to go on to his next job and not bother coming back. I've found that communications among the management and employees at Vern's to be suspect, appointments with them are merely a suggestion and common courtesy non-existent. Ron, if you're reading this, when we first met I told you that our former plumber, one we had depended on for more than 10 years, and passed away in 2019 and that we were looking for a new service provider. At this point, you were replaced before you even began
