"????? I can?t say enough good things about The Water Heater Guyz! Our water heater stopped working, and they were able to get us taken care of much faster than we expected. From the moment they arrived, they were friendly, professional, and took the time to explain exactly what was wrong and what our options were. The installation was done quickly, and you could tell they take pride in their work. They made sure everything was working perfectly before they left and even cleaned up the area when they were finished. It?s refreshing to find a company that?s honest, reliable, and doesn?t try to upsell you on things you don?t need. The price was fair, the service was outstanding, and the whole experience was stress-free. If you need a water heater repaired or replaced, I highly recommend The Water Heater Guyz. I?ll definitely be calling them again for any future plumbing needs!"

"My hot water heater needed to be replaced but I've been blowing it off because I was quoted $3000. One night it finally burst, shooting water all over the garage. I didn't know who to call or what a reasonable price for a new hot water was but I needed a water heater so I submitted a request for an estimate with Home Advisor. Matt from Platinum Plumbers responded almost immediately via text, which I prefer. He quoted me $1700 for a 50 gallon water heater installed, up to code. I texted him 2 photos expecting him to reconsider his incredibly low quote. His next quote was for $1500 because I have a 40 gallon heater. I told him that seemed low compared to the $3000 quote I had received 3 months ago and maybe he would like to look at it in person in case he had made a mistake. Bless his heart! He said he's been doing this for 41 years, he has low overhead and if he finds anything unexpected he said it would be his fault!!! What??? He showed up the next morning, right on time. I expected it to take 2 hours. Honestly, he removed, installed, cleaned up after himself, ran my credit card, patiently waited while I tracked down a credit card that wouldn't be denied, handed me my invoice and was driving away in no more than 45 minutes. Matt is truly a national hero. Thank you, Matt"

"Two years ago Riley Plumbing and Heating replaced the corroded galvanized water pipe from the street meter to my house, so I was very surprised to have another water leak in the back yard last month. Riley Plumbing came out again, and found that the new leak was due to another corroded galvanized pipe that was supplying water to the back yard irrigation system. They replaced this pipe, tying the water supply to the irrigation system to the water line they installed two years ago. Mike Rojas, Luis Ortiz and Aiden did the work in a professional manner, and left the back yard in good shape for re-seeding this fall. (Hopefully no more corroded pipes in my yard!)"

"Our water heater stopped working while we had three newborn grand kids visiting at the same time for Easter. Mr. Bellas called me himself and was at our home within a few hours. In less than an hour from his arrival he had our thermal coupler replaced and our unit was back in action as he had a replacement coupler with him. I would definitely hire Mr. Bellas again. ."

"Sent message 3/5/19 for a quote On 3/6 a plumber came out for an estimate arriving within the first hour of the 4 hour time slot. He found a crack in my faucet’s flexible hose. Given a choice of ordering a replacement part vs a new faucet I decided to go for replacement which he picked up and installed. All work done quickly with no leaks so far"

"Clint was VERY professional. On time and completed the job perfectly. We had many discussions over the past few months and he lives near Grizzly Flats and we are in Tahoe. The Calder Fire postponed our work as Hwy 50 was closed, but as soon as it reopened, Clint contacted me the the job was completed. Clint buried two gas lines and serviced our water heater. Terrific job and I highly recommend him and his company."
