Mr Bossong is fantastic! Throughout life (especially home ownership) one needs to have their 'go-to' to resolve issues - we are VERY happy to say that Bossong Plumbing is our go-to for our plumbing needs. So much so that we recommended Bossong to 3 of our neighbors/friends who were also all very happy with the service!

Joe was recommended by my cousin's husband Nate. He came to my house within 2 hours and replaced the hot water tank. Very courteous and professional. I'd recommend him to everyone.

Great work and even better person. Fixed a leak in our upstairs bathroom that was coming through the downstairs ceiling. Handled it in no time and knew exactly where the problem was after just surveying the rooms. Thanks, Joe!

Joe is a fantastic plumber he don’t try to sell you stuff you don’t need very honest and the work he does is fantastic. Put in a vanity and tighten my faucet in the downstairs bathroom. I would recommend him to be your plumber.

Replaced a main shutoff valve and PRV for us, zero leaks and is working great. Took the time to review the rest of our newly purchased home's plumbing at our request and offered honest feedback without being salesy. Was responsive throughout the process, had a pleasant and professional demeanor, checked all the soft skills boxes. Might be a little expensive, not really sure, but you're paying for the skills & experience needed to get the job done right, plus all the other things that come with running a business, so we were happy with the end result and will certainly be in touch when we need a master plumber in the future. Thanks Joe!
