Updated post: We…read moreeventually called another plumber to properly address the plumbing issue. This independently owned company corrected Moreno's work, replaced all necessary pipes, and properly caulked the sink for a reasonable amount. While we did lose a little money with Moreno, we are grateful and truly blessed to have found a company that operates with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. God always makes a way. Have a blessed Sunday. Finally found a trustworthy, licensed plumber. What's even scarier is that he is claiming to not have done the job properly due to our finances. We are both well paid in our respected fields...money is never an issue. It was done incorrectly because you are incompetent. Do better. Original post: Do not use GM Plumbing, specifically Gus Moreno. Moreno came to our home to assess a leaking pipe while my husband was at work. Because Moreno represented himself as a licensed plumber, I trusted his professional judgment. Upon entering, he spoke in a condescending manner, asking, "Well, what can you tell me about what's going on?" While the tone was inappropriate, I remained professional and focused on resolving the issue. Moreno stated the problem was a drainage gasket and quoted $225 to replace it. He then stated the sink would need to be uninstalled and reinstalled, which would cost an additional $250 plus. Since my husband was unavailable to discuss these options, I instructed Moreno to proceed with only replacing the gasket, and we would address the sink installation at a later time. Moreno advised me to tell my husband to caulk the sink with 100% silicone if we chose that route. Moreno completed the work in less than an hour. The gasket was not properly flushed, and caulk was left sloppily applied throughout the area. The work was tacky and unprofessional. He stated there was no longer a leak, ran the water briefly, and provided aftercare instructions before leaving. Once I spoke with my husband, he was extremely surprised that no pipes were replaced and that Moreno charged $225 for what amounted to a simple gasket replacement. He was also concerned that Moreno instructed the homeowner to caulk the sink rather than completing the work himself. Moreno later returned after my husband arrived, without his work truck. My husband questioned the pricing and work performed, noting that charging $225 for a part that costs approximately $10 was unreasonable. While I understand that businesses mark up parts and labor, this charge was excessive. Unfortunately, my lack of plumbing knowledge was clearly taken advantage of. Gus Moreno will not be returning to our home. We have lost trust in both him and GM Plumbing. Before leaving, he suggested my husband call him the following week so he could fix everything properly. That will not be happening. He also stated that he proclaims God, yet his actions and treatment of others do not reflect treating God's children with honesty, fairness, or respect. The attached photo is an example of what he is giving out to his customers, which makes this experience even more concerning. We will be reporting this company for questionable and unethical business practices.

Jose had expert advise how to remedy the situation for a permanent solution. He removed the street trees that were no longer required by the homeowner's association and trimmed the remaining trees. He then prepared the yard with top soil and laid fresh sods. He checked the sprinkler system, made repairs where necessary, adjusted heads and nozzles and programmed the controller for ample watering during the critical initial transplanting phase. Jose helped me greatly directing the project from out of state through frequent communication via phone and photos. After the completion of the project he graciously agreed to periodically check on the grass and make sure it is properly watered and fertilized. I could not be happier with his expertise, diligence and care. I highly recommend Jose's C&L and his team.

If you are looking for good quality horse manure fertilizing soil mix (so-so good, just fair or…read moremore) this is not the place to get it. Attached a picture of what I pulled out of just 2 wheel barrows when spreading the manure mix. Also, it appears as obvious to me it is far over 50% wood shavings, 30% clay crumps - maybe 20% horse manure. Of the $55 I paid for the cubic yard I feel I paid $40 to the trash / waste management service. Estradas is actually a good place, I have been a customer for years. However, either they got cheated themselves on the product (unlikely, since they prepare everything on site) or they are cutting ugly corners. I ended up using my 1 qyrd as fill dirt. Expensive mistake.

We hired Top Notch Tree and Remodeling Services for a repipe and 2 bathroom remodels, and…read moreunfortunately our experience turned into a very stressful and expensive situation. During the repipe, multiple mistakes were made. One pipe was left improperly connected and burst, shooting water into our garage. Another cold water line for our master shower was never connected at all, even after the walls and floors had already been closed up. We later had to hire another plumber to cut back into our floors to correct the issue, along with paying for additional drywall repairs. He also remodeled our kids' bathroom, and within days we started noticing water stains leaking into our downstairs kitchen ceiling whenever anyone showered. Instead of taking accountability, he repeatedly blamed the issue on our AC drain line and insisted it needed to be rerouted. We had two separate AC companies inspect everything, and both confirmed there were no major AC issues other than a kinked hose that HE had installed himself, which caused a backup in the attic. I ended up replacing the hose myself. The actual source of the leaks was poor workmanship in the bathroom remodel. The shower handle was installed upside down, and the overflow drain plate was installed incorrectly, allowing water to pour directly into our kitchen ceiling during showers. What made the experience even more frustrating was the constant excuses, blame shifting, and gaslighting whenever mistakes were brought up. We were extremely patient and gracious throughout the process, even giving multiple opportunities to correct issues, but every concern was met with another excuse instead of accountability. We also believe his attitude toward us changed after we did not accept his $5,000 drywall repair estimate. He seemed to take it personally. We had only asked him to provide a quote for the drywall work, but he appeared to assume he already had the job. One day he showed up with sheets of drywall and started patching walls without ever even providing us with an estimate or getting approval to proceed. After he finally quoted us $5,000, we decided to get additional estimates and found another highly recommended contractor who quoted us around $2,000. The only difference was that painting was not included, and for a $3,000 price difference we were perfectly willing to handle the painting ourselves. While he was still in the middle of working on our master bathroom, he approached us saying he needed to "go over numbers." Even after knowing there would be a major price change coming, he continued working for two more days while we waited to sit down and discuss the updated pricing. When we finally had that conversation, we were informed the estimate had essentially doubled from the original amount. At that point he still expected payment for demo and partial work despite the growing list of plumbing mistakes, water damage, and repair costs we were already dealing with. The final straw was discovering continued leaks and water damage right as we were deciding to move forward with a different company. After the insults, excuses, mounting repair costs, and lack of accountability, we decided it was best to cut our losses and part ways. We are now left paying even more money for drywall repair, plumbing corrections, floor access repairs, and damage caused by work that should have been done correctly the first time. I strongly recommend getting multiple inspections and being very cautious before hiring this company.
