We had to turn off our water supply shut-off for a bathroom remodel. When we went to turn the water supply back on the stupid old gate valve broke and we couldn't turn it back on. We called a dozen plumbing places, the few who answered our call had no time for weeks to help us. Dire. Hutzel made time on their schedule, got us taken cared of the very next day, installing two new shiny ball valves that should last years. Everyone was fast, masked and helpful. AND their price was very reasonable! Would recommend to anyone.

I have been using Hutzel since 1978. I was treasurer of a condo organization for several years and we always used them to take care of our condo issues. When my husband passed and could no longer do repairs, I reconnected with hutzel and I have a yearly maintenance program with them. They have always been responsive, resolved every issue I have presented them with regarding heating, plumbing, air-conditioning, water heater.

I have been totally pleased and would not think of changing companies. That's a long history with one company and I believe in supporting local businesses who demonstrate excellent workmanship and professionalism. I have never had one problem with them! Barbara Yoder

We called them for a pipe repair. They sent one man who said it was too much for him and he would send someone else to give an estimate, but they didn't and we had to call again. A man came in, said it was much more extensive than our heating man had said and that they would have to tear up more of the cealing and the floor above it. They didn't come to give the promised estimate until we called and the man who came was so rude and left yelling well get another opinion then!' and stomped out the door when we asked a few questions. We called another plumber, who fixed the leak without tearing up anything and did it on the first call. I will never call them again!

I highly suggest to stay away from this business. I called them for s big project in a complex sump pump system I have. They sent a plumber who didn't even know how to work on it. He said that I needed someone with more experience and he was going to let that person know. Nothing happened and I call so the second guys came, took a few pictures a said that he was going to give me a quote. Again nothing happened so I called and I spoke with the most experienced plumber who came, understood what I needed and said he was going to send me a quote.

Until today I don't have a quote but I got an invoice for nothing. I called the admin to ask why do I have to pay for an invoice when I don't even have a quote and I met a very rude person that they only thing he cared was to collect 200 bucks from me and he cared the less that I didn't have a quote. The kind of person you don't want to talk These people is so unprofessional and they truly do not understand how to treat customers. I would highly recommend you to find a better company to work with

I work for Restoration 1 of Ann Arbor and I had a client with a water leak and the city had to shut the water off at the street. I needed an emergency plumber ASAP and Brian was extremely helpful. He was able to dispatch a plumber and have them on site hours ahead of the other plumbers I called. The technician Ken was on site, had the problem repaired, AND called the city getting service back on within 60 minutes of my call.

My client was beyond impressed. Not to mention, was able to call the city minutes before 5pm which saved my client after hour city charges. Thank you to the Hutzel team! I will be calling again. Chris

Tried Hutzel Plumbing recently for a furnace issue. Have to agree with the real reviews on here. Was fully made aware of the charges upfront. And in fact, in my experience, there was no charge. I am a new home owner and there was some issue that Hutzel fixed pro-bono. The tech wore a mask, was super helpful and taught me how to avoid issues in the future. I will for sure use them in the future. And for the record, they were recommended by my parents who live in Ann Arbor and have been using them for years.

New home owner here. Recently purchased a house on the west side and was experiencing an issue with our furnace. Hutzel came out and made the necessary repairs. The technician was professional, arrived on time, and all charges were valid and transparent. Especially appreciated when the technician explained to me what repairs were necessary and why. I have 100% confidence in Hutzel. They will be my go-to in the summer should I experience any AC issues. And god forbid Have any plumbing issues. If I do, I know Hutzel will be there for me.
