"David sold this water heater replacement job to me with his knowledge, professionalism, kindness, and accuracy of what to expect. Jose is a fantastic installer. After he finished, he took the time to explain to me what I needed to know to operate the water heater. I did get cheaper bids but for the money I spent this group was the right call for me. They went above the call of duty to make sure everything was handled correctly. This includes the verification phone call. Thank you young lady."

"Tomas Martinez from Strategic Plumbing did an exceptional installation of a new water heater. His plumbing expertise was obvious when he answered several of my questions. He works quickly, neatly and his professionalism is apparent in the high quality of his work. I definitely would recommend him for plumbing projects."

"Issac was quick to respond to our distress call on Sunday, August 15, 2021. @12:25 pm. Our A O water heater and Whirlpool water softener started leaking all over the garage in our track home development In Redhawk Temecula. Issac was very helpful and professional. He picked up a new 75 Gallon A O replacement water heater and installed the same weekend day! Highly recommend Issac Mailhot Plumbing & Contracting. You will not be disappointed!!

"Reuben was right on time and did exactly what he promised. One thing I know about people is whether they are caring or not, and certainly Reuben is one caring individual. I was concerned about a water heater replacement and he said that he wanted to see if he could repair it before we even begin to talk about a replacement. He was able to obtain the materials and put in a new hot water pipe and fittings for the water heater and WOW - hot water! By the way, he has tremendous respect for Vets, police and fire and active duty and gave me a great discount. He's on my permanent list for plumbing! Thank you Reuben for a job well done!"

"Mr. Joe was not only professional, but personable as well. He identified my issue with my hot water heater, and fixed it expertly. Dr. Rooter treated me with respect and was overall a tremendous value. I saved the number, as Dr. Rooter is now my first choice for my plumbing needs. 10/10"

"More than exceeded my expectations. Very professional in every way from cleanliness to respectfulness. Needed a new water heater installed. Other companies wanted an arm and a leg while hermoso plumbing gave me a great deal with even greater service. In and out faster than expected with no hassles. Will definitely be giving them a call back for all my plumbing needs. Highly recommended."

"We had already called another plumber on Angies List (Hayes Plumbing) to have ours replaced. But when he arrived he stated he no longer gave the senior discount as he priced his units so low and he charges more for labor for units INSIDE the home, etc.  So I called Right Solutions Plumbing out of the phonebook and told him of our desperation. He has a good steady business and after hearing of our situation said he would be over that afternoon to look at  our unit and see how soon he could help us. He was the owner - James Ratliff - and he was so kind and professional over the phone.  HE estimated our job and went to get our 50 gallon BridgeWhite (or something like that--- a very good model they dont even sell retail at Lowes or Home Depot).  He came with his assistant, Jerome (really nice young man) and completed the job without any hangups.  By the way, he doesnt charge more for the unit being inside and said he never heard of that policy .  I commend his professionalism and concern for our situation.  He is such a nice guy and well represents his trade. I will use him anytime I need his services.  My husband also was very impressed with James.  He was very knowledgeable and a good communicator which nowadays, just  doesnt happen.
He also has 24 hr emergency service and responds to all his calls. I give him my highest recommendation.  He doesnt low bid and then hit you with all the extras. Very ethical and good to know someone like him has a local business we can depend upon.
