    Fixed shower cartridge by owner

    Customer service and timeliness are exceptional. I really like how I can text reminders of my appointment and how far the plumber is. The courtesy call is always a plus. The plumber checked on site of the issue which I was already aware of the issue of replacing the shower cartridge since the shower head was continually leaking even after the handle was on on the shut off. Cost was $375 which I get there is labor involved but 30-60 mins + part ($35-80 part) to replace. The cost is above average. If you need something quickly done and don't might paying slightly more for them then they can definitely help. We did ask if we can do it ourselves, and he said yes which I like the honesty. We ended up doing it myself to save on cost since I had the tools and went to Home Depot to buy the cartridge.

    5-star plumber! This should be great! The first time OK. He fixed a buried PVC line at a slightly high price. But if they're reliable, it might be worth it, right? The second time was very bad. The tech quoted $1550 for a job that takes well under 4 hours with $200 in parts, and it was a sketchy fix. No go. But no bad review because it could be a fluke, right? Third time? Bad again. So it wasn't a fluke. Tech came for repair of the first job but apparently didn't know it was warranty service. He talked about replacing galvanized pipe with copper. I said it sounded expensive because PVC was really the problem. I suggested he talk to his boss because he the one who was paying for the warranty repair. He went blank, said OK, and when I came back, he and his assistant had left without saying a word. To their credit, Western Rooter promptly sent another tech, and he's now replacing 16 inches of PVC as warranty service (picture). So, I had thought one bad experience after a good one was a fluke. But now I can't ignore two bad experiences in a row. You have to stay on your toes. Two stars because they did send another tech to fix the problem. One star otherwise.

    Rotted Gas Line,

    I have nothing but great things to say about QP Plumbing! Oscar is very responsive, professional,…read moreeasy to work with, and an overall stand up guy with a high level of integrity. Last year we had a water heater installed by QP Plumbing. There was one part of the installation that was overlooked and caused us some issues. When I told Oscar, he took complete accountability and offered to give us monetary compensation. I told him if he could just provide us with a credit on future service that would be great. Fast forward to present day, we had leak with one of our pipes. Oscar was able to come immediately to diagnose the issue and got his crew here the next day to get the issue resolved. Oscar did in fact give me the credit we had discussed over a year ago which I appreciated. I certainly plan to use QP Plumbing for any of my plumbing needs moving forward and I would highly recommend them.

My parents-in-law had a toilet that wasn't draining properly, a semi-emergency since it's the only toilet in their small condo. It was already late in the day, but I found QP Plumbing and messaged them and they were able to have a plumber out early the next morning. Leo was the plumber who visited and he did a lot of troubleshooting: first with a plunger, then an auger, then removing the toilet to inspect the trap and the drain pipe. In the end, we determined that the toilet should be replaced because of its age, and Leo took care of buying a new toilet, installing it, and hauling the old one away. He recommended a toilet that's elongated and slightly higher, which was a great option for our elderly parents with reduced mobility. Leo also replaced the wax ring and flange bolts and caulked the new toilet well. He took the time to do the job right, and the price was quite reasonable. And the new toilet is a huge improvement over the old one. Thanks QP for the quality work and for giving our parents one less thing to have to worry about!

    I'm writing this review because I rely on Yelp reviews for how I hire for home repair. I sent a…read moremessage late Tuesday night via Yelp and got a response even after hours. The next day Sam followed up with me and gave me a quote for a water heater install and said he'd be there within 2 hours when I was ready. I told him I needed to discuss with my wife. During this time, I called another local company for a quote and they quoted me about 800$ more for the same exact branded/sized water heater, installation hoses/connection, etc. their warranty was also one year less than AAA was providing. I then called another plumbing company and their quote was even more astronomical than the second company. So I called Sam back after agreeing with my wife that we would proceed with him. He stated he had a new customer in the 1 hour we'd last spoken, but not to worry because he'd still be there same day just later in the afternoon. He provided a time frame and text when he was 30 min out. He arrived and got the water heater swapped out in 2 hours as he said over the phone. We went from having a leaking water heater to a brand new one. It's all up to code and we feel very confident in Sam's work. Additionally, Sam was a very courteous and polite guy. He explained everything and answered every question we had. He never seemed rushed or tried to upsell us anything. His customer service was outstanding.

    I had a fantastic experience with AAA Water Heater Company and can't recommend them highly enough…read morefor their honesty and professionalism. I reached out for a second opinion after another company suggested I immediately replace the water heater in my rental property with a much more expensive tankless unit. Instead of just trying to make a quick sale, Bill at AAA gave me a truly honest assessment. He pointed out that while a tankless system has its perks, the yearly maintenance requirements could actually be more of an inconvenience in a rental situation. He provided clear, transparent pricing for both traditional and tankless options but ultimately helped me realize that my current unit still has some life left in it. It's rare to find a business that prioritizes the customer's best interest over their own immediate profit. Because of this integrity, I've decided to "ride out" my current unit for now, but I will absolutely be calling them the moment it's time for a replacement. I plan to use them for my rental properties moving forward, and I will be recommending this company to all of my family and friends. If you want an expert opinion you can actually trust, look no further!

This happened around 6am, I reached out at 8:30am, and Kyle arrived at 10:30am. Our technician, Kyle, was incredible. He drew clear diagrams to help me understand exactly why a snake couldn't clear it. He quickly provided an estimate to replace the fitting with a modern bullhorn design to eliminate future issues, and also noticed our downstairs toilet wax ring needed replacement. While I initially considered replacing the wax ring myself after researching it, I am so glad I left it to the professionals. The toilet weighed nearly 100 lbs and the floor bolts were severely rusted. Kyle gracefully applied a discount to the overall package that helped soften the blow. The best part was the incredible timeline: he provided the estimate and got the entire job done the SAME DAY. In a house with four people and no running water, this rapid response was an absolute lifesaver. Kyle began the work immediately and was very respectful of our property. He communicated with me every step of the way, showing me the problems and explaining his solutions. He dug out the clogged fitting, replaced it, backfilled the hole, and finished by resetting the toilet. By 7pm that very evening, our plumbing was fully restored! Kyle was kind, knowledgeable, and highly professional. Thank you from a very relieved family in a 50-year-old Anaheim home!
