On 2/2/2024 Desiree Knight had this to say:
We manage rental properties and have had three businesses to one property to trouble shoot issues. Not only did other plumbers suggest ripping out walls and replacing all plumbing they did work that did NOT fix our issues. Justin, from Fox's has not only found a professional fix to EVERY issue we had he even fixed shotty work from other plumbers. Let's not mention Fox's prices were more reasonable than the other plumbers/handymen we have used. I wouldn't hesitate to call Fox's for little to big issues. They are professional, timely and came out multiple times to get the property together! I have not one complaint about Fox's & would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Justin for all your help & thank you Paul for running such a professional company with skilled employees! Absolutely love smooth business! What a headache we had with this property & honestly idk where we'd be if Justin wouldn't have gotten us all the way together! Advice to others: HIRE A PROFESSIONAL THE FIRST TIME*
