Steven and Diego arrived to check out our system and were able to get everything up and running. They were professionally, efficient and friendly. GEM Plumbing employees are always top notch!
Two technicians came to assess my minisplit which has been leaking. They spent a lot of time working hard to find an answer which unfortunately ended in needing a follow up appointment with a handyman through GEM, to resolve an issue with my unit. But while the techs were here they really tried very hard to resolve the issue. I give them an A for effort.
New resident needing plumber to improve drainage of bathroom sinks and stop leaky faucets. As first plumber I called did not call me back, I called Gem for help. William and Mark were sent to provide service within 2 hours. Problems corrected after thorough discussion of options and pricing for each. Selected the replacement option for leaking faucets, which resulted in spending more money than anticipated, but they selected good looking faucets from supplier and returned to install them. I elected to enter into a one year contract to secure HVAC service for the year, eliminating the dispatch fee. I am pleased with the new well functioning faucets. Good communication with technicians and office representative, Melissa.
They were both great. They explained everything very well.
The best. Great communication, clear pricing, does the whole job and doesn't leave until everything is handled. I have referred them to several people because trustworthy people are hard to find

Very responsive to my off-hours request for heating repair on a holiday weekend; technician resolved problem. Communication was very good (updates about arrival time, etc.).
John P replaced a capacitor on my AC unit and got it working again. He had to get onto the roof to reach it which is not easy. I asked John a lot of questions about AC and heating units and he is very knowledgeable and helpful
If I could give Douglas 6 stars, I would. He is knowledgeable, and really cares. Did a great job and made recommendations. Not his first time here and always detail oriented.
Anthony Pena was great, he did great work, very fast on fixing our 1 year old water heater union valve and was very nice
Highly recommended 5 stars all day
