    Galvanized pipes 1

    During a remodel of a bathroom we discovered that all the galvanized pipes were a disaster (see attached photo). We contacted three repipe specialists and based on their prompteness, price, and knowledge, we decided to go with Advanced Repipe Specialists. Ramiro and his son Junior did an amazing job of replacing all the old galvanized pipes with PEX piping. They did a very professional job of opening walls and patching. They made sure to get the necesary permits and passed all inspections. During this whole process, Vernonica was coordinating all activities making sure that everything was scheduled promptly and on time. This company is truely the best!!!

    I chose the Advanced Repipe Specialist for one of the most difficult home improvement projects in my mind --- repiping the whole home. I needed a team of true professionals and Advanced Repipe pulled it off. Ramiro and his team were easy to work with. I had a very positive experience from the beginning. Ramiro came to my home on time for the first consultation and gave a detailed presentation to help me understand my options. He provided an accurate estimated cost, which was exactly what I paid for at the end. Their price might not be the lowest, but they were transparent about the materials and costs. I felt confident picking Advanced Repipe out of a pool of contractors. Ramiro's team was well trained and had great attention to details -- most importantly, they did all the work with the current city codes in mind. They completed the project on time with great results. They patiently answered my questions and addressed my concerns during the final walkthrough. The patching work was also done nicely -- which eased the pain from all the holes cut open for re-piping, Overall, it was an easy five star. The team earned it with hard work and superb quality.

    Rusted out sewer pipes!

    Ramiro takes your concerns seriously. He repiped our 70+ year old home in one day. During the inspection phase, he found some very serious breaks in our iron sewer pipes. The following week they replaced those as well.

    This is a piece of the old plumbing that was removed! Not sure how any water flowed at all!

This time, the water from the upstairs bathtub-jacuzzi leaked to the garage's wall downstairs. This happened when the kids were taking a bath. We suspected it's due to overflowing to the certain limit. (The water did not overflow the bath boundary). NOTE: The bathtub is not used on a regular basis, but only when our grandchildren are visiting and staying. We called Aaron's Plumbing & Rooter and scheduled a diagnostic appointment. We were afraid it would be a major repair. Aaron came on the next day, examined the bathtub and explained what might have happened. He looks very professional, calm and clearly explain the possible options and solutions. He examined the overflow cover on the bathtub. He cleaned and sealed it, asking us to wait for 24 hours before testing. He also explained us the possibility of another solution if this one did not work. The 2nd solution was much more complex and expensive and we were hoping that the 1st solution would work. We followed his suggestion and tested the leak in 2 days. It was the success. We are very happy with the outcome and definitely recommend this company to anyone.

The repairs and replacements were flawless. Scheduling is always easy, and Mark is punctual with great communication throughout the process. Highly recommended!

    We contacted MG Plumbing due to a gas smell coming from our water heater when it was in use, which…read moreis a serious safety concern. Before the appointment, my husband explained the issue in detail and sent photos of the make and model of the unit. When Mark arrived, he looked at the unit and said he needed to contact the manufacturer and would follow up on Monday. We never received that follow-up. There were no missed calls, no voicemail, and no text message. My husband does not block unknown numbers and must answer all calls for work, so there is no record of any attempt to contact us. During this time, we were also dealing with our son unexpectedly needing surgery, which delayed us from calling back sooner. Prior to MG Plumbing's visit, we had already contacted PG&E when we first noticed the gas smell. PG&E did not detect a gas leak, even while running hot water to try to reproduce the issue. Out of caution, we have been turning the gas off when the unit is not in use. The smell appears to occur only when hot water is used in our children's bathroom. When we finally followed up later in the week, we were informed that Mark is not certified to work on Rinnai units, which prevented him from getting information from the manufacturer. Given the safety concern involved, this should have been clearly communicated sooner. Due to the lack of follow-up and communication, we had to start over with a certified plumber. I hope this review remains visible so others can make an informed decision.

    I'm a little surprised Jake's Plumbing has such positive reviews, based on my experience with them…read more My home warranty company assigned them for a job that involved multiple items, most very simple, but two a little more involved. I'll start by saying a few nice things: Jake's is able to dispatch quickly, and the plumbers they send seem relatively capable, though there is some variation. And both the plumbers and the office staff seem nice. More challengingly, it took a remarkable number of visits, over many, many months, to complete some fairly straightforward work. I'm lucky I have a job that fairly easily lets me be at home waiting for a contractor if needed; for someone for whom taking time away from work is a bigger deal, this would have been a brutal experience. And there were a bunch of hiccups, like the wrong parts being ordered, plumbers showing up not prepared to do the job, and a plumber dismantling a shower valve down to the rough-in valve and declaring the job done (surreally, I had to argue with the office that the job was finished when the shower was functional again). Most challengingly, two valves for a tub needed replacement, because they were leaking and too corroded to replace the cartridges, requiring access through tile. For almost a year, I tried to get a quote for the work, because the home warranty company wouldn't cover tile access. I asked the office repeatedly for a quote. I asked every plumber who came to my house to work on other, simpler parts of the job. And I never got a quote, and I finally just gave up. The bottom line is that this office seems to struggle to handle even modestly complex jobs. For the simplest jobs, like a toilet that needs to be snaked or a simple leak under a sink, they can dispatch a reasonably capable, friendly plumber quickly. But the wheels seem to come off when things get even modestly complex, like parts having to be ordered. And I say all that with some regret, because these seem like nice people, and I tried really hard to work with them.

The installer…read moredid a great job, but after about a month when there was a fault/error code and the heater stopped, he said to unplug it and plug it back in. Going forward, this happened several times so I called Navien; they recommended I get an authorized service tech out there so they could troubleshoot the issue over the phone. I called Ernie's, the closest Navien approved company. Ben came out the next day, got on the phone with Navien and ordered a new PCB under warranty. Because I took to long to address this, labor was not covered, but that's understandable. And it was very reasonable. Less than a week later I now have a fixed tankless. Ben and Ernies were incredible; they're my new go to for plumbing issues. And I'm not sure why Timmy P. left such a bad review of Ernie's. Based on what he wrote, he expected Ben and Ernie's to take a partial payment at the job site. Maybe if he had stated that when making his appt there would not have been any confusion. Payment is always due at job completion.
