We then called Better Home, and they came by quickly to take a look and mentioned some stuff about our water heater, and we decided to get a new one since it was already 15 years old. They brought a new water heater and replaced it, and took our old one out. Super efficient. In regards to the price, it was what it was, but I looked up the water heater and it wasn't a super crazy markup to what they charged us plus labor, so I'm not complaining.

This post is regarding Andy Quintiliani who provided me with excellent service when we were…read moredesperate for hot water when an old water heater broke. He took a look and identified that there was not sufficient space to take the heater out and we needed to do some additional work so he could access the space. Instead of leaving it at that (which he could have done), he decided to take the extra time to do a quick fix so we would have hot water until we can arrange to make some changes to the door so we can replace the heater. His professionalism and diligence was much appreciated. We always get excellent service from Letts but today from Andy specifically.

I had used Letts Plumbing in the past but had completely forgotten about them until I asked a friend at Standard Plumbing for a recommendation after receiving several installation bids. He immediately told me to call Letts Plumbing. Mary promptly returned my call and scheduled someone to come out the very next day. The plumber who arrived was extremely experienced and had installed many of these systems before. He quickly modified the drain connection without any issues and completed the installation efficiently and professionally. What really stood out to me was not only their expertise, but also how friendly, respectful, and professional everyone was -- from the office staff to the plumber himself. On top of that, their pricing was significantly better than the other bids I received, which saved me a considerable amount of money. Letts Plumbing has absolutely earned our trust, and they will be our go-to plumber from now on.

Somehow it was both the perfect size and strength to get exactly jammed in the garbage dispoal. With family and friends coming over and a lot of activity in the kitchen, this was a big problem. We called around to multiple plumbers and found Stefano recommended by another family with a garbage disposal issue. He was one of few plumbers who got back to us promptly and who did not charge an extreme "out of hours" markup for coming out on a holiday. When he tackled the blockage, he ended up disassembling the garbage disposal but was able to both remove the cup and replace a gasket that had gotten damaged in the process of me trying to unjam the disposal. Not only that, Stefano was upbeat and did a great job of entertaining our 2 year old who was watching on with wide eyes. This was a huge relief - our 4th of July event was a success and we've bookmarked Stefano's contact details for any future plumbing needs!

They all looked at our home buyer inspection report and quoted us for a full master bath replacement. None of them went under the house to double check the report.

He found two small leaks and some additional repairs and he figured out that the inspection report totally misdiagnosed the issue. Everyone else was wrong because they didn't want to do what Sahy enthusiastically did. Sahy showed us videos of the issues and we were able to fix exactly what was wrong rather than deal with everyone else's 'worst case scenario' of having to redo the entire master bathroom.

He replaced everything with high-quality components, including: * New hot and cold water flex lines * A brand new water shut-off valve * A new gas flex line and sediment trap * Fully reworked earthquake straps (to meet California safety codes) * Properly updated T&P line and venting He also took care of the removal and disposal of our heavy 18 yr old tank, leaving the utility closet completely clean. If you want fair pricing, expert specialized service, and a technician who respects your time and home, call Water Heater Masters and ask for Rojo. Highly recommended!
