Still wishing I could give Vlad a "10" but a 5 will have to do. We have him on speed dial and have been fortunate enough to have him do many tasks for us...installed and repaired toilets, replaced a faulty water line from the wall to our refrigerator, replaced bathroom sink handles, installed a whole house pressure regulator, replaced under sink shut off valves and replaced several ancient hose bibs. When the time comes, he's who we will call for a new water heater or dishwasher install. read more

Called VLN Water Heaters on July 4th after our water heater went out. This was our second time using VLN, and once again, they exceeded our expectations. Vlad picked up right away and offered to join us on FaceTime to walk us through troubleshooting the problem. In a world where it can be hard to find both knowledgeable and honest service providers, Vlad stands out! He was honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. We really appreciated his willingness to help, even on a holiday. Highly recommend VLN Water Heaters! read more

I called Vladimir @ 7 am because I noticed my water heater was leaking the night before. He had me send him pictures, and within minutes told me I needed a new water heater and provided me a very competitive quote over the telephone. He arrived @ 9:30 am with a new Bradford White 40 gallon water heater. He had it installed within 90 minutes. He tested all faucets in the house to make sure it was running properly. I also asked if he had time to take a look at 3 leaky toilets & 1 leaky shower head. Without hesitation, he agreed. He installed 3 flappers and 1 shower head within 5-10 minutes top. Unlike the 'bigger' plumbing companies out there, the technicians make you call into the office to make a separate appointment. He's very patient, knowledgable, kind, courteous and cares about what his work and his customers. He hauled away the old water heater & had everything cleaned up when he was done with the job. I highly recommend him to everyone that is in need of a plumber. He does more than water heater installation. He's definitely my plumber for all future needs! No need to shop around for a plumber because he's honest. Can't praise him enough with the quality of his work and the quantity amount of time he spent making sure the job is done 100% right. Thank you Vladimir, you saved me from cancelling my vacation that was scheduled to depart the following day. read more

Vladimir just replaced my 50 gals water heater. I want to say something about his professional work and behaviors. 1- I was impressed about his professional work on removing the old one and installed the new one. 2- He helped me to get back the Home Depot store credits because the old one has not expired date, 12 years of warranty. The old one had been used 9 years. I got back $530 store credits. :). I did not know the old one has 12 years of warranty. A very honest plumber, fast, very skill... ! 3- High skill technical and applied all California Code requirements and explained to me every single Code. 4- Clean up well after job done. 5- I was lucky to have him working on this issue. Thank you very much for your help and services, Vladimir!. Tom read more

Vlad is awesome. He helped us try and fix our water heater which was still under warranty and when that didn't work, he helped us replace it. Super patient and professional. Gave us some helpful tips too with our water pressure and general plumbing. read more

Honest, responsive, fast, and affordable. I interviewed 8 plumbers and Vlad was the clear choice to install our new 50 gal water heater. He did an impeccable job, including all the "extras" that other plumbers charged additional to do, he was fast and clean, and his bid was 10-30% lower than the other bids. Sale yourself the time & hassle and just go straight to Vlad at VLN. read more

Highly highly recommend Vlad for any of your plumbing services! He was prompt to respond and easy to make an appointment with. He was professional, and clean! He changed out a faucet for us and replaced our 1970's valves to new ones! read more

See all

If I could rate a 10 I would. Vladimir is amazing, genuine, honest, and extremely helpful. He has done several projects for me. He does a great job pricing is reasonable and his responsiveness is excellent. Look no further he is your guy! Heidi Capela read more

Vladimir was very responsive, informative, reliable, and reasonable in pricing. He took care to wear a mask and maintain 6 feet of distance, and removed his shoes when entering our house which just had new floors installed. He worked quickly and his finished product was professionally done. He came highly recommended from a friend. I would also recommend Vladimir to assist you with your hot water heater needs. read more

The owner responded quick and his quote was cheaper than most. We had a leaking shower faucet caused by a bad cartridge ($32 part). I tried to replace the part myself but that part was seized from years of hard water exposure. Unfortunately he could not removed the seized water faucet holding the cartridge in. He said he would have to cut into the shower and he could get an entire kit to replace everything so it's like new. Quote went from $100 to $480 which seemed fair. He went out that same day and got all the parts needed and was done same day! Leak is gone, new fittings installed and shower looks like new now! Would recommend him to anyone else looking for an honest plumber! read more

Vladimir is our go to for all plumbing projects. Very knowledgeable, honest, and reasonable. not at all surprised that all his reviews are 5's! Highly recommend adding his contact info on your repair list so you have it when you need help. read more

Vladimir was very responsive and arrived on time. He is very honest and very professional. Not only he fixed my leaking toilet but also made recommendations to save me money. Price was very fair too. Highly recommend him read more

Given the current situation of social distancing and quarantine, Vladimir was easy to work with. Came by within 30 minutes of reaching out on a Sunday night, had on a mask and gloves, let me know what to do/who to call since my water heater was still within warranty. As soon as I got my warranty information, he picked up my broken water heater and exchanged it for the new one and was back within 45 minutes. Install was quick and easy, and 30 minutes after he left I had hot water again. Recommend Vladimir if you need work done quickly in an emergency. read more

Vladimir is the best. We had him come out to our home a second time and he was able to address our plumbing concerns today. Very reliable and look forward to calling him again in the future. read more

Vladimir was a pleasure to work with. we had a water heater leak, he quoted us on Sunday and was able to install on Monday. Great communication, fair prices, accountable, accommodating, and good workmanship. I had many questions and he answered them happily. He even helped check our water pressure coming into the house and check some of my other plumbing issues. Highly recommend! read more

Vladimir was honest, professional and got the job done very quickly! I like that he asked for a picture of the the leak ahead of time so he could come prepared and give me an idea of what it would cost. I appreciate him coming on short notice and within my requested time frame. Definitely will go to him for any future plumbing issues. read more

Our water heater just broke after 5 years of usage. It was leaking badly and we found Vladimir from Yelp. Based on his rating and his friendliness, we decided to use his services. He responded very quickly and showed up on time even on the weekend. He gave us a quote and gave us a day to decide. We went with him because it was a very reasonable quote compared to the others. He finished the installation and setup in a flash and cleaned up at the end. We can't put enough good words about Vladimir. Thank you VLN water heaters business for support our community. read more

We just called VLN Water Heaters this morning about a plumbing issue, and Vladmir arrived promptly and addressed our issue. As his work was done so quickly, we asked if he would take a look at our pressure regulator, as we had another plumber recently "test" and who informed us that we needed a new regulator, as our PSI was too high. Vladmir dashed to his truck to grab a test gauge, and informed us that our water pressure was just fine, and that no new regulator would need to be installed. In this day and age when so many trades are dishonest, how refreshing it was to meet a truly honest person who cared so much more about telling truth, than his pocketbook! We'd highly recommend VLN Water Heaters & Plumbing without any reservation. read more

8/23 Very poor service. My wife called him to fix a clogged toilet in my kids room. It was a new toilet seat ( less than did month old). He was in a hurry. Very careless. Put scratches on the inside it. Very unprofessional. Seems like he is clueless. Stay away. Update 8/25 Vladimir responded to my text giving him feedback on it. Came in on Sunday morning and took care of scratches. My kid is happy. He was very professional. I appreciated his response to my feedback. Mistakes happen but what do to fix them defines the person. He certainly took care of business very professionally. I'll definitely call him for future plumbing services. I am Updating my review to a five star. read more

Vlad is very knowledgeable. He is very reliable and his prices are reasonable. He cleans up after he is done. No need to look around, Vlad is your guy! read more

Vladimir is fantasic! Exactly how the reviewers described him - very accommodating. He wore a mask, and since we keep our shoes outside the house, he was okay taking them off or wear boot socks. For my plumbing issue which was whenever we turned the shower valve to hot, it loses pressure. Vladimir easily pinpointed the issue with confidence. Had him fix 2 showers, and even when the first one had issues he didn't cause, he fixed it for me at no added cost. His service fees are very fair and competitive. He came arrived on the agreed time, advised me what will happen, fixed the issues, had me check them out, and he's gone, saving my day and potential future plumbing issues. I strongly recommend VLN for your plumbing needs! If I can give him 6 stars out of 5, I'll gladly do it! Thank you Vladimir! You have a customer for life!!!! read more

We had a leak in our shower and issue with our toilet. Vladimir was extremely responsive. When he arrived, he was nice and very efficient. Just a quick look and knew automatically what needed to be fix. Took Covid precaution on wearing a mask when in the home. By the end he explained what was wrong and showed us that everything was working fine again. We will definitely reach out to him again if anything were to happen. Highly recommend! read more

Vladimir is absolutely great. He is honest, hardworking, and fair priced. Above all, he has integrity and is the kind of professional you want to know. I would highly recommend him. read more

Vladimir was prompt and very good! This is the second water heater I have had installed in this house over the years. Much cleaner and quality of workmanship is heads above the last guy. Really happy and to boot the best price compared to any other company I contacted. Don't second guess he is your guy! read more

I can't say enough good things about Vladimir. I have dealt with every type of personality in my lifetime. I can honestly say that he is the very definition of what great service can be and is very accommodating. Nothing is a problem for his easy going attitude. I had a new toilet installed but unfortunately, it was about an inch too long and the bathroom door hit it. Vladimir had no problem putting it back in my van to take back to the store. He then installed a repair kit in my existing toilet and it works fine. He didn't charge extra for the additional work. I would recommend him highly. read more

If Yelp had a 'Super Star', I would choose that for Vlad's service. He is my 'Go to person' whenever I have plumbing and water heater issues. Having known him for few years, I can vouch that he goes above and beyond to fix issues and provide appropriate guidance to his clients. His work ethic and expertise are worth a mention. There have been times when I had to make a SOS call (with regards to house water leakage) and Vlad visited immediately without any qualms. Also, his charges are easy on the pocket. Overall, he is hardworking, knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy and practical. You can blindly trust him with his services. read more

We had a leaking faucet from a Delta brand. We tried to remedy and tried to fix it but it was not solving the issue that our initial plumber told us that it would be more easier and practical to replace the entire faucet so off to Lowes we went. Selected the replacement faucet we wanted and availed of the installation package program they had. Lowes personally picked and sent Vladimir to us and guaranteed us that he was one of the best in their roster of plumbers. True enough,Vladimir called us the next day,agreed on our available schedule and exactly on our agreed day and time,he came. He was very nice and professional. Worked his butt off and replaced the whole thing even though it was quite hard to remove my old faucet because it was installed too tight by previous installers. He patiently maneuvered under the sink and expertly worked his magic. Now we have a spanking bnew Moen faucet. I highly recommend Vladimir to anyone who needs plumbing and water heater service needs. Will sure call him in an instant should we need more of his service in the future. Five star customer service,professionalism and friendliness! read more

Vlad was great. He was very responsive and performed quality work for us. He didn't try to upsell us on anything. His prices are very competitive and we plan to use him again when the need arises. I also appreciated that he removed his shoes and wore a mask without being asked. read more

Vladimir was very fast and very friendly. He was recommended by two of my neighbors. I had installed a garbage disposal myself and discovered the P Trap was leaking. With Home Depot not a great option right now, thought I would call a pro. When he finished that, I mentioned a stubborn shower valve we have, suggesting he could come back later. He wanted to take a look and he fixed that very quickly. He wore a mask, he was very nice and easy to talk to. I will definitely call him again. read more

A water heater connection was leaking, and he fixed the problem. He called and showed up when he said he would, and provided great service.

Great response and reasonable for a running toilet. Would call him again if we need plumbing.

Vladimir is always so accommodating and is always on time for appointments. He has fixed my water hammer of the kitchen sink pipes, toilet that kept running water and most recently installed a fire glass burner so that I can actually use my gas fireplace! Great work and reasonable price! read more
