If you'd have a plumbing problem in SB, you know it can be difficult to find a good and responsive…read moreplumber. That was not our experience with Anacapa Plumbing when we needed to replace our two 15 year old "on-demand" water heaters. Anacapa was immediately responsive, pleasant to deal with, and quickly gave us an acceptable quote. Then, after ordering the units (which took a few days understandably) , they did a great job installing them in less than a day. We can't talk about pricing because we were so frustrated by other contractors not even returning our calls and by the one who ripped us off (Goodland Plumbing by demanding a $150 up front payment for a quote and then never getting back to us with a quote), in the end, we were not in a position to seek out competitive pricing - tired of cold showers. Now, everything is working well - Anacapa was very professional, with friendly informative plumbers, who did a great job and cleaned up after themselves. We definitely recommend them.

He spent 5 minutes looking at the old units and then said he was done and he wanted the $150 check which they required for a quote visit. We never got a quote. After waiting about 5 weeks and hiring another good contractor who did a great job, I contacted the original person I spoke to at Goodland via phone text and said that we should get our $150 back. She texted back and agreed and explained that she was swamped with work and it was her fault that we never got a quote. She promised to return our money. Now, 3 weeks later, after several follow-up texts from me, Goodland has ghosted us. I will file complaint with the State Contractor's Licensing Board and possibly take legal action; But, I am guessing that the Contractor Licensing Board has bigger issues to deal with than me being ripped off for $150. Beware of Goodland Plumbing and their demand for $150 in order to give you a "quote" for plumbing work.

We awakened to no hot water on Wednesday. After examining our 10 year old Water Heater, my husband…read morefound the pan underneath full of leaked water and no luck igniting the starter. We immediately called our go-to plumbing company Gallegos Plumbing. They have serviced our main home as well as a rental we own, and we have had outstanding service every time. They sent Will to determine if it could be repaired or if we needed to replace it. We had been thinking about replacing our big tank with a tankless water heater so we asked Will to give us some information on savings, water usage, maintenance costs etc. Will was very knowledgeable and gave us all the pros and cons. We decided to get the tankless. The next day Gallegos texted us at 8:00 am to tell us when the installers, Nick and Spencer would arrive. They arrived showed up ready for work by 9:00 am. They were so courteous, explained everything they were going to do, did some minor repairs to the venting before finishing the job in about 5-1/2 hours. They tested everything before leaving and hauled our old tank away, leaving everything swept and clean. I'm off to finally take a hot shower!

I contracted for some back yard landscaping about ten years ago and, as part of the work, had a…read morecustom fire pit built. Unfortunately the contractor decided to place the gas line and valve to the pit within the masonry work, leaving no way to access the line should the need arise. Flash forward to about a week and a half ago, and the valve in my backyard fire pit became stripped and was no longer opening or closing with they key. I am a DIY guy 95% of the time, but I am not about to go messing around with a gas line, so I called a local fire place shop to ask about repairs. They told me the job required a plumber and recommended Lloyd's Plumbing service. I called Lloyd's, left a message and... never heard back. After a couple days I searched on my own and found Gallegos Plumbing. I called them and asked about an estimate. The gentleman told me there was no charge to have someone come out I had an appointment scheduled for the next day. The communication throughout the entire process was spectacular. Within a couple minutes of hanging up the phone, I had already received an email and text confirming my pending appointment, and even had a reminder email and text the next day. Bill Jeffries was the gentleman who came to my house. He called me to let me know he was on his way and also asked me about the issue I was having with my fire pit so he could be as prepared as possible. He showed up on time and was very friendly. He took a look at my fire pit, spent time answering my questions, and walked me through three different solutions that could work. He was honest and transparent about the estimated costs for each potential solution, which I appreciated. But seeing the concerned look on my face, knowing that I was looking at a higher cost than expected due to how my fire pit was built, Bill offered a fourth solution that I could try myself, and walked me through how he would do it. In my experience, this just doesn't happen these days. Bill was genuinely interested in helping me figure out my problem and not just looking to make some money. After 30 minutes of his time, he gave me his card, shook my hand, told me to call if I needed anything, and bid me a good afternoon. I was left with no charge for the time or the visit, and a potential solution to my problem that I can try myself for the cost of a few tools and an afternoon. Gallegos Plumbing came through huge, and I feel that their service and expertise is second to none. Bill was extremely professional, friendly, and listened to me. I will most certainly be calling Gallegos Plumbing in the future for all my my plumbing needs, as mine was a great first experience. I am glad I found them, and I would recommend them to anyone needing plumbing service in their home. It's hard to find good, honest, hard-working businesses these days who put their customers first, but Gallegos Plumbing is one of those few. Highly recommended, and I can't say thank you enough.

I called around and spoke to several businesses before connecting with Pablo. A gas company free…read moreinspection discovered that my water heater vent was not functioning properly, so they shut if off and told me to get it repaired/addressed by professionals. The first company that came out charged me $99 for an inspection and estimate and claimed that I needed to replace all my vents (switching from single-wall to double-wall). Pablo, however, explained that this was unnecessary -- he could redo sections and install a new cap on the roof for about a quarter of the other company's estimate. During my research, I also considered installing a tankless water heater to avoid dealing with vents altogether and obtained estimates for that option. Pablo offered to install a high-quality tankless at a reasonable price, while other companies suggested lower-quality units at equal or higher prices. I decided to accept Pablo's bid and am glad I did, because he provided excellent work. I really appreciate his reasonable pricing and straightforward approach. He also responded to my request quickly and went out the same day to inspect the issue and completed the work the following morning.

We agreed upon time and day. That morning I get an email confirming 4PM appointment. I called and Dio says he thought it was 4PM. He was willing to send someone out right away, but after all that I canceled the appointment and did not reschedule.
