    Ernesto and his team. Electric water heater. Clean look.  Beyond happy with their work.
    Linda S.

    Wow! I highly recommend Ernesto and his team. Punctual, clean and they went above and beyond to leave me a clean look on my electric water heater. Very humble and military friendly company. I love that they didn't just change the water heater but also fixed piping, vents, and left it spotless. This is quality work, above and beyond attention to detail Happy to have used them. You can tell they pride themself in their work. I chose them based on their Yelp reviews and happy I went with them

    Spacers in the bathroom sink caused the slow drain

    Called Ernesto when my parents' dishwasher was leaking and he was able to quickly diagnose the problems over the phone and send his technician out for repair. He was kind enough to offer my parents a senior discount. This is actually my fourth time using V max since we're very happy with the quick response for repair and professionalism. Thank you!!

    the old galvanized pipes
    ra l.

    I noticed most reviewers for VMax had minor or medium jobs, but my review will be on a major work done on my home. I had all the old galvanized piping replaced with copper and all the drainage pipes replaced with the latest drains. I also went from a traditional tank water heater to a tank less water heater and I also did a full remodel on my bathroom. Tore the bathroom down to the studs, floor wall and everything. I used Vmax to do all of this work. If Ernesto doesn't specialize in some job you need done, he knows how to connect you to who can do it. Ernesto is the owner and he showed up to my home the first day on time. His price was also reasonable. His crew worked pretty hard on my home. They were very consistent with the time. There were some minor issues after the initial work being done, but Vmax made themselves available 24/7 and came back with no additional charges to complete the work, ensuring it is done right. Too many times i hear of contractors once they are done, they are hard to get a hold of afterwards. Ernesto is passionate about serving his customers and is available 24/7 to answer any questions or fix your problem. I highly recommend Vmax for those who want want a trusted plumber at a reasonable price.

Having someone honest who is willing to tell you all your options (like fixing the broken parts versus installing a new water heater), and THEN is willing to give you the exact pricing for those options is hard to find now-a-days. I truly recommend this man; he does a one man operation, works hard, and gets the job done like he said he would; I can't tell you how many times handymen/contractors have said to me "I'll let you know if something comes up and I can't make it" and then only show up if they please; instead he was punctual and today, I was able to take the hotest shower I've had in my new home thus far. He even worked with my work schedule so I could come home to hot water after I told him I work 10-11 hours a day 5 days a week and was going to be without hot water until my next day off .

Our townhouse was built with an air heating system using hydronic heat, and the water heater provided the water to that system. Wade helped us select a tankless water heater from Navien to replace our existing Polaris tank water heater. Despite the more complicated setup, the results are great. The Navien tankless combi- boiler water heater is perfect for our needs. It is a more dependable solution, and more cost-effective in the long run too. Thanks again to Wade for helping us achieve a tankless water heater install, the first home with a tankless system in our community.

I called several companies to assess the issue and one company told me I needed to re-plumb the entire house. After I deduced that it was a water heater issue, I started to get ridiculous quotes from some companies. I came across All Pro Water Heaters and was impressed by their reviews. I immediately wanted them to be the people to replace my water heater. I was able to reach Parker on Yelp and he gave me a reasonable quote. He also asked me to take pictures of the current water heater so he knows what they're working with. By looking at my pictures he pointed out some of the things that they might need for the installation so there was full transparency. I informed him that we think it is just the water heater that needs to be replaced but want someone to confirm there isn't anything else wrong and he assured that's something they'll verify. He was able to send someone the same day. The technician, Danny, informed me of his arrival time when he was 30 minutes away. When Danny was done with the water heater replacement, he provided necessary information to my tenant, then he called me to brief me on the completion of the install. My tenant complimented Danny for his professionalism and said he wants to use this company for any future needs. I was thoroughly satisfied with Parker and Danny. They were extremely communicative, professional, and quick to resolve the issue. I was extremely stressed from my tenant not having hot water and All Pro's honesty and ethical approach alleviated my concerns. I will be recommending All Pro to people I know!

He could tell what was potentially wrong in my house just by looking at the system. He even fixed my sink upstairs that no longer had water flow. All in all, the whole service took about 2 hours. He was able to reset my water softener, replace a part, and fix my sink. He even gave me some water test strips. Spending $200 for a 5-year maintenance is completely worth it. Now I don't need to think about it again until 2031!

I was glad to see that Tim arrived exactly when he stated he would, and came in with all the tools he needed, plus more. As well as took his time to full diagnose the issue. We came to the agreement that the water heater needed to be replaced due to multiple factors. He didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary things and I was the one that requested and recommended extra work that needed to be done such as valve replacement and vent inspection. Tim went above and beyond with installing new straps, the valve, water heater, reseated the ducting properly, as well as as put in a much needed gas pipe to reduce any dirt or debris from the gas line into the water heater burner. It took him a bit longer than expected, but he thoroughly tested the water heater, burner, and hot water. I was very impressed by his work and how clean the installation was. I think for the experience, expertise, and quality of Tim's work its was an excellent value. We even upgraded to a larger tank for not much more which the family was very happy about. We have also signed up for the yearly maintenance. I highly recommend Tim the Water heater guy, as he does a great job for a great value.

You are already there, how much extra to snake that and two bathtubs? $125 for each drain How much is today's total? $225.

No sir Well you guys did the work already and charged me $225? Where do you live? Irvine Oh that's why I'm confused you just said there no hidden fees? It's $55 if you are within 5 miles of our office. We cover up to Anaheim. Further than that we have a minimum of $225. Ok thank you ......someone needs to tell them what hidden fees means. Also if I've already paid the minimum of $225, why aren't the additional drains $55 each? By the way the other toilet upstairs is not flushing now so I still have to call another plumber to come out now.
