S.O.S. Plumbing | Palm Desert, Calif.

S.O.S. offered superlative service from beginning to end, says Douglas Calvin, who hired the company to replace part of a water line between the underground meter and his house, among other jobs.

"From the initial telephone call to their rehanging the garden hose, the whole experience was good," Calvin says. "Chris [Embury, owner] was calm and professional. The bill was itemized. There was no added stress."
