Ann Maloney2025-06-23On my way to town, my water heater malfunctioned and it was still under warranty and Sean took care of it so that I could have a good vacation! Thanks!
Julie DiSciullo2025-06-04We were very happy with the service we received from Sean McNiff and his assistant. We lost hot water late afternoon; called Mr. McNiff about 4 PM ….. He responded immediately; he researched the tank we would need; gave us a quote that evening and arrived at 8 AM the next morning and installed the new hot water tank. You simply cannot ask for better help! I highly recommend his skills and efficiency.
Jacob Backon2025-06-02Mcniff plumbing was responsive, took the time to understand my problem, and presented options without pressuring me for business. Most importantly, they arrived on time and were able to fix my issue quickly and correctly. The price was reasonable, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for plumbing or heating services.

Thomas Matozel2025-04-30Timely, knowledgeable and professional service. Good communication and cost effective.
Meg Fuchs2025-04-30Had another great experience with McNiff today for new shower fixtures, faucet replacement, and a leak. Arrived on time, gave us sound advice about the issues we had, handled everything beautifully, and did a great job cleaning up. His explanations are always clear and easy to understand. I especially appreciate that he spoke directly to me more than half of the time, and not just to my (male) partner who was also home. Will definitely have them back for any future needs.
