This is the plumber you want. We have been having an intermittent problem with hot water for several months we were not sure if it was the mixing valves on the shower or a problem with the hot water heater. We replaced both mixing valves on the showers and still ha the problem. using the owners manual I troubleshot the hot water heater, but could not find an issue. Our neighbor highly recommended Robert at 21st century. Roberts communication was excellent while setting up the appointment. We found him to be professional, engaging, and instructive. Within five minutes, he had a diagnosis and shortly thereafter had the hot water heater fixed for us. After dealing with other plumbers in the past, who had alleged good reviews, we are so happy that we ended up hiring Robert. read more

After installing a whole house water filtration system, a pipe started leaking the next morning. I contacted them to come fix it and was told they were in Arizona and would not be back for a while. Its been a month and no response to get this fixed. I checked the license and its not valid. Stay away from this guy. Far away!!!!! read more

I had 1st Century Plumbing Heating & Air install a new HVAV unit and I can confirm Robert and his crew are exemplary professionals. Most importantly the best price and trustworthy. The installation was quick and done with an emphasis on safety. They cleaned up after the job like they were never here. I can't express enough how much I appreciate an honest straight shooter. Don't hesitate to call them if you want your job done right and rest assured, they are trustworthy professional and save you money. I will use them again and highly recommend you do too.

I contacted several plumbing companies on a Saturday morning as my main line sprung a leak at midnight on a Friday night. After many attempts Robert was my last call. I'm so glad I called. He was out in less than an hour and restored our water within an hour. His rate was reasonable and his advice honest and trustworthy. Robert is now my go to plumber in Cameron Park. read more

21st Century Plumbing - Broken pipe and old regulator replaced new within an hour. - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me

Vented 40 gallon propane water heater went out and I contacted about a half dozen plumbing, heating and air companies in my local area . . . Only Donna of 21st Century responded immediately and gave me a "ball park" estimate over the phone, after sending the owner, Robert, photos and a video explaining the problem. The estimate he gave me was outstanding, i.e., I have a buddy in Stockton, whom is a plumber - he confirmed I was getting an excellent estimate, especially since they were installing a Bradley White water heater, which he considers one of the best water heaters available. Fast forward a few hours later, Robert and his assistant, Felix, were at my home with a new water heater, which was still in the box. Although the box was pristine, the water heater was severely dented and damaged (looked like the water heater had dropped 10 feet). Robert said that he was returning the water heater for a replacement heater. A few hours later, Felix returned with a new water heater, again in a pristine box . . . However, it was damaged too. It was late in the day and too late to get a replacement, due to the distributor being closed. Regardless, per Robert, he WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GO WITH OUT HOT WATER OVER NIGHT and he had Felix install this heater, promising me they would return in the morning and replace this one too with a new, pristine water heater. The next day, Felix returned with a new heater, which was pristine, hooked it up and again, per Robert, maintained the price he originally quoted for me. I am so impressed with Robert's honesty and integrity! You hear horror stories about plumbing issues with other companies. I will ALWAYS contact Robert's company for my plumbing, heating and air conditioning issues. They are the best. Due to Robert having other jobs, I must also give a shout out to Felix, who did all of the installation work on my heater. He is a true professional. Similarly, Donna's professionalism is also excellent. What a team! Thank you Robert, Felix and Donna for such an outstanding experience! Again, I can not say enough about all 3 of these individuals! read more

Robert just finished installing a new furnace in my home in Pollock Pines. I couldn't be happier with his work! He is extremely conscientious, and obviously really knows his stuff. He went above and beyond to help my son and me clean out a packed storage area by leaving his dump trailer, overnight, then hauling it all away. His kindness and generosity were so much appreciated! We are building an ADU on my rental property. Robert has already seen it, and will be prepared to start work when we break ground in the coming weeks ahead. I highly recommend 21st Century Plumbing Heating and Air. Thanks so much! read more

Robert came to my house and fixed a pinhole leak in a copper pipe that had developed in my wall. He was one of very few local plumbers that actually answered the phone when I called, and made arrangements to come the same day that I called--even after hours, in the evening. Robert allowed me, the homeowner, to help him with certain aspects of the job (like removing the vanity), so that the job could go by quicker. He was very patient and didn't mind me hovering over his shoulder so that I could watch and observe. He also was cool with me doing the drywall repair and was happy to just do the work that I asked him to do (fixing a pipe). I know that some contractors will insist on doing *all* of the work, and will bill you accordingly, even when you're handy and willing to do some of the work yourself. On top of all of this, Robert was very patient and accommodating while I tried to get my Mickey Mouse home warranty company to reimburse me. When the home warranty company insisting on really asinine invoice requirements, Robert was happy to send not one, but three different invoices to satisfy them. I don't have a good basis to judge Robert's pricing because he was the only plumber that I called, but I feel like what I paid was fair based on: (A) the amount of time he spent on the issue; and (B) how far out in the country I am. Robert will be my first call for plumbing needs, and I'll keep him in mind for HVAC issues as well. read more

Words cannot convey how ecstatic my husband and I are that we reached out to 21st Century Plumbing to assist us with locating a water leak on our property. Unfortunately, we had contacted THREE other companies to assist us with this task. We were quoted by the previous contractors that it would cost thousands of dollars to remedy our problem!! If not for one of the contractors suggesting to us that we find another contractor, we would have never been blessed to have Robert, of 21st Century Plumbing to "save the day". Robert arrived at 10:30 a.m. and did not leave until 11:30 p.m. He was determined to find our leak and he did. He gave us a quote at the beginning of the day, and honored that quote. Robert and his crew showed their knowledgeable and expertise by utilizing "out of the box" methods to locate and repair our leak. I will let Robert tell what method he used to locate our leak when you hire him for your job. 21st Century Plumbing was "Heaven Sent". I HIGHLY recommend 21st Century for ANY of you plumbing needs!! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Our family is new to the area, we moved into a fixer, and apparently our heating system was not wired properly, barely heating our house. I called Robert, he came on short notice (thankfully), easily diagnosed our issue, and got our heating system working as it should--the house is now warm for the first time! I thought Robert was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and just an all around nice guy--I felt like he cared, a rare trait these days. To top it off, very fairly priced too. Robert is now in my contact list and he will be my first call for future renovations! You will be happy that you call him! read more

I live in Placerville. Donna was super responsive for the estimate, scheduling, follow-up questions etc.! Robert and his team did a fantastic job cutting off a gas line for us. They had to remove the gas fireplace to do the job and ended up asking for the broom and dustpan so they could clean up the debris. They were super friendly with my pups during their time at the house. They were very professional and helpful even when I had questions the following day. I highly recommend this team. read more

What can I say about the amazing professional that showed up!!!!! Courteous and clean. Knowledgeable and professional. After another plumber failed miserably, this company stopped by after work. Identifying the issue. Resolving the issue. Tested. All systems and insisted we check everything before he left. I am not knowledgeable in this arena. Patiently took the time to explain and show me where my issue was. Made some suggestions and then cleaned up the work area. I was amazed with everything. I was very comfortable immediately and am more than pleased with the results. Best value and effective. I wanted a job well done and received more than I could imagine. Thank you to everyone involved in helping us out. I have always said, good people and best value beats CHEAP every time. One trip. Not three!!! read more

Robert has a lot of experience. As a landscaper for 30 years I can tell by how they locate a problem. If they know what they're doing it should just seem like second nature. He replaced an old section of septic pipe for us. He's a cool dude as well. read more

Sewer was backed up. Called on a Sunday, they showed up and did a professional job as always.

Finally had a snowfall in Camino. Which is not the time you want to find out that your furnace isn't working, but it IS the time you're likely to find out that your furnace isn't working. Thankfully, Robert was able to make it out the same day, diagnosed the problem (control board on the furnace was shot, which isn't a huge surprise for a 20+ year old furnace), identified an additional issue (furnace was pulling some very dirty makeshift make up air out of the crawl space where it's installed), and gave me a fair quote for all the work. Good guy, good business. Like a lot of my clients say about me, I hope I don't need Robert's again, but if I do, I'll happily give him a call. So should you. read more

Had pipe leak on a Sunday and they came to the rescue! Great people and even better plumbers. We will definitely use them again.

Robert absolutely hooked us up and I would recommend him 100%. This was our first winter in Placerville and our heater was not blowing into our room or the baby's bedroom. You can imagine how unpleasant that was! He came out on short notice, went into our attic and gave us a full scope overview of what work needs to be done and what work could be done in the future. The heating system is quite dated, so my husband and I had some serious discussions about what repairs we could afford. A few days later, Robert called us out of the blue and said he had some free time and could swing by to make some quick repairs and get us comfortable for the time being. Within an hour we had heat blasting in both bedrooms! As I was writing him a check for his time, he said "don't worry about it, have a great day." If you have any HVAC needs, don't hesitate to call Robert. read more

Excellent service! Our hot water heater broke, I called Robert at 5:45pm, he was at our house at 7pm. He was very nice, knowledgeable, and fast. He even fixed our broken sink handles while he was here. Highly recommend calling 21st Century! read more

I had a main water line to my house break after the storms. Robert from 21st Century Plumbing was a referral from my sister who raved about him. Donna answered their phone right away and called me back squeezing me into Robert's busy schedule who came out later that same afternoon. Robert showed up with another crew member and said it would be fixed that day. Robert realized right away after digging down about two feet, that he was going to need an excavator as who knows how deep the line was. He left and quickly returned with his excavator. Luckily, he did as the ground had huge rocks that needed to be removed in order to repair the line that was over three feet deep. A part of my line was smashed, so he dug further along to cut it off at a place where the pipe was round. The whole time, Robert was explaining everything and was very personable. He and his partner worked well into the night and repaired the line. They used a shop vac to suck out the dirt in the line to minimize the dirt in the line that would go into the house. We opened all the hose bis first around the house, to flush out any dirt, then inside the house. I was so thrilled that it was repaired that day in less than four hours, as I had to leave town the next morning. He and his partner cleaned up and flattened the area with dirt. I bragged about Robert to all my friends who knew I was faced with this serious problem and he took very good care of me. Robert was so kind and he even gave me a great deal even though it was emergency work and he worked until 6:30PM. Robert also called me the next morning to make sure everything was good. Robert.... a Giant Thank for helping me out of this situation and also thanks to your crew member who was also very kind and pleasant. You don't know how happy you made me. I will definitely use you again for any future needs and refer you to my friends and neighbors. You definitely know your profession. read more

Robert and son fixed my old ailing AC system right before the summer scorching started. It's been a few months and old Bertha is still humming and blowing cold. Hopefully she will keep kicking another year or two. Robert fixed it quickly and reasonably priced, definitely recommend! read more

Great response time, but was surprised that they don't take ATM/credit cards. Efficient, professional service. Definitely recommend.

Robert stopped by late on a Saturday to help us out. He solved the problem and we could not be happier. We will use them again!

Our AC failed and was causing water damage and mold to our rental. Needing someone quickly, we are thrilled to have found Robert. He answered his phone, showed up when he said he would, worked like a dog in the heat to located and resolve the problem, so we could move forward with repairs to the home. Good guy and easy to communicate with. Good job, Robert. Keep up the hard work! read more

Another great experience with my go to plumber. Had a little leak in my sink and he was out the same day to take care of it. Highly recommend! read more

Our family was in crisis with the sudden death of our son-in-law, and there were so many arrangements needing to be made. This included finding care for his disabled wife. We were having periodic power outages from the ongoing storm. Suddenly, the kitchen sink became totally clogged! None of the usual remedies had any effect. We called 21st Century Plumbing, and within an hour and a half Aaron and Joe were working on the problem. They had to get under the mobile home to work on the pipes. It was pouring rain and muddy. It took them hours to repair the problem--late into the evening. When they left, the areas where they had worked were very clean. When we asked for the bill, the price was extremely fair. We were so pleased with this valuable help in our crisis. read more

Made an appointment, no call no show. No reply to text message asking why he didn't show.

Great team! I used 21st Century Plumbing to solve several significant plumbing issues in my 3000 Sq foot El Dorado County home. I contacted 21st Century because of their reputation. I was not disappointed. Robert (owner) and Felix (skilled Assistant) worked for several days. With this company you get general contractor expertise and true 21st century solutions. This is how companies used to operate long ago. Robert solved my water heater issues (I wanted to go tankless) by recommending and installing a propane based tankless (did not know they existed as opposed to electric). This allowed cost savings in energy and allowed me to maximize the large propane tanks I own and have on my property. They also solved a huge septic line blockage that occurred in this same time period that interrupted the line to septic tank. 21st Century was able to dig externally without tearing up any flooring. While they were here Robert had an excavator and was able to dig out the septic lines and find and reveal the long buried/hidden lids to the septic system for ease of the current problem and future septic service. These men were cordial, supportive, gracious workers. The 21st Century experience was competent, skilled, responsive and well worth calling again. I am a grateful property owner. With years of experience there is nothing they cannot do in home maintenance. Plus, his office support Administrator (Donna) was knowledgeable and really closed me on the propane tankless water heater concept. She was an excellent communicator for the company too. I will call them whenever I have a needed repair issue. Did I mention fair pricing and a response time that was stellar. Margie Hunt/Placerville. CA read more

I called Robert for help with water pressure at my house and within hours he arrived and promptly figured out the problem. He was kind and efficient and got the job done quickly. His price was reasonable and I received an official receipt within 24 hours of the job. I will definitely be using 21st Century Plumbing for any future issues. read more

Robert is amazing! Our propert manager had him call me to come hook our propane up after the company had dropped the tank, because the appliances weren't working. He is very knowledgeable and so kind. He was in southern California at the time and we live in Placerville, he drove all the way up that day to get us propane. Truly went above and beyond!!!He had us hooked up in no time. A couple days later our heater and air went out and he was there that day to see what was going in. Always answers his phone, and is constant contact. It's so great knowing that I have a handyman that really knows what he doing, and is so on top of it!! I would recommend home to my family friends everyone. As long as he's in business I will be using him for all my heating and air needs. read more

I explained my problem to Robert over the phone. He came prepared including a water heater replacement & fixed the faucet leaking in the downstairs bathroom. He kept me posted of his arrival time & finished within 2 hours. He & Aaron were very thorough & professional. It is hard to find repair services that will come to Cool, CA so YES, I will recommend them again. read more

He was professional, courteous, on time and did a surperior job. His wife was very firendly and I really enjoy her also. He will be the ONLY plumber I ever call now. Linda Strongman read more

My husband's company had a water main break in their parking lot. 21st Century was on site within a couple of hours after the call to the office. They worked diligently into the night to find and repair the area. All while staying in contact with my husband on their progress. We can't say enough positive remarks about this company. We've never been so impressed. They will now be our go to company in the future. read more

I am so grateful I called 21st Century Plumbing! I can't say enough about the great service I received. Robert really went out of his way to diagnosis the problem with our hot water heater. He tried several things to try and see if the heater could be saved even though it just caused him more work. He even came on a Saturday when I know it wasn't convenient for him. He was really concerned about saving us money. He was so quick to respond to my call and to go above and beyond the call of duty to get the problem solved. It is such a blessing to find someone who has real integrity and cares so deeply about providing the best possible service. He is definitely on my speed dial if anything like this happens again!! read more

Robert came out at 9pm on a Saturday night, to help us with a clogged pipe. We was knowledgeable with our septic system and professional. When the clog didn't clear with the machines he brought, he left and came back with another machine. He was working until almost midnight, in the cold and dark to clear the clog. And when it came time to settle up, his charges were very reasonable. We would definitely recommend him to others!! read more

We had a clogged drain in a bathroom, and our toilet needed new internal valves. Robert R. came on time for us, and he brought all the pieces he needed to repair our toilet on the spot. Our drain was unclogged immediately on the sink. We appreciate the immediate professional service from both Robert and his protege Bill. Our job was simple compared to some, but he treated it as though it was the most important job he had. Thank you. When we need a plumber again I wouldn't hesitate to use 21st Century again. They know what they are doing. read more

We had Robert install a new sink and faucet at our house and hook it all up to the garbage disposal and dishwasher air gap. We could not be more pleased. He responded to our service request promptly, arrived when he said he would, and provided an in-person cost estimate that was fair and included everything needed to complete the project. Robert arrived on time the very next day and took out the heavy, worn-out sink and faucet. He installed our beautiful new sink and faucet which truly transformed our kitchen. He is incredibly hard-working and makes sure you are satisfied with the results. We have high standards and Robert exceeded them. We recommend him highly to anyone who needs an expert plumber. Thank you, Robert! read more

We are new to the area & the disposal was giving us trouble. It appeared it needed to be replaced. We began calling around & Robert answered & said he'd be out on Monday. On Monday, he fell a little behind but called us & gave us an ETA (very professional of him!). He showed up & I updated him that in addition to the disposal, we had a toilet handle issue. He replaced the disposal and then went to the guest bathroom to fix the toilet handle. Both were fixed and are perfect. He was very fast and efficient. He was also fair with the price. As we were talking, he mentioned he works 7 days a week & values providing customer service to clients (his motto: respond to calls and show up!). We took his contact info for the future and for our family member who lives in the area. Five enthusiastic stars! read more
