First time homebuyer of an older home. Had an issue with a leaking bathtub drain and kitchen sink. Frank was very patient with all my questions and helped find resolutions to the issues we were experiencing. Will definitely call Brian and Frank again in the future.

My floor heater did not work. Called Thistle plumbing who said there were gas leaks in the gas line. Paid $1000 to repair leaks and heater still not working.! Do not hire them!
