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.

If I could give them 10 stars, I would! Frank was able to stop by on his way home to look at our busted shower. Three different plumbers said it would require us breaking into the wall (and tile) to fix the pipe, and $$$$. Frank took one look at it, grabbed a tool and fixed it in less than 15 minutes. I am so impressed by their honesty and professionalism and will use them for all my future plumbing needs! Thank you Thistle Plumbing!

The most unprofessional plumbing company in the TriCities. V bad experience would give no stars if that was possible.

I had a really bad problem with a toilet on the second floor of one of my properties. The tenant said it was leaking and had been for a few days. A contractor I know told me to call Thistle if I wanted it done right, so I did. They were onsite within the hour and explained everything they needed to do. The entire process was very professional and more than just a repair. They redesigned the previous patchwork and I know it won't happen again. The tenant also called me to say thanks for sending them because the experience was great and they didn't leave a mess behind for her to clean up

Quick response, excellent work, very reasonable prices, really good guys, we have nothing but positive things to say about Thistle Plumbing. We have used Thistle on at least a half dozen projects in our house over the last few years, including installing several toilets, installing a reverse osmosis water filtration system in our kitchen, locating a leak under our sink and then replacing all the pipes, fixing a broken under-sink disposal system, and several other projects. I highly recommend Thistle, without reservation, for their professionalism and knowledge, and also for being very easy to work
