EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional Service! I am absolutely thrilled with the work done by Repipe Home Hero! Having a whole-home water filtration system plus an additional filter for the kitchen has been a project on my radar for a year and a half, but I kept putting it off because I couldn't make a decision. Stefan Jr. made the process so incredibly easy. He truly listened to my needs and helped me choose the perfect system. The team of Stefan Sr. and Roman took over and everything went incredibly smoothly. They had to cut into the garage drywall to complete the work, but their repair job was so flawless that I can’t even tell where the holes were! Throughout the process, they answered all of my questions and addressed every concern I had. Their pricing is very reasonable and didn’t cost an arm and a leg compared to some of the other companies I looked into. On top of that, they kindly helped me with my refrigerator filter and a leaking toilet issue for a very small additional fee. I couldn't be happier with the results. If you need water filtration or plumbing services, I highly recommend Repipe Home Hero!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Overall we were extremely pleased with the whole house copper re-pipe at our home. Home built in 1978 with second slab leak occurring within 10 months of June, 2026. Based upon age, two slab leaks within 10 months and the potential for insurance company to raise premium rates again we felt whole house re-pipe was the best long term solution. Stefan, Simeon(son), Slava and Olyk showed up on time and as promised. These guys work till about 7pm and completed the whole house re-pipe with drywall repair/texture in five days. Also, they do not waste time, are efficient, clean, licensed, bonded and insured. We would not hesitate to recommend Repipe Home Hero to others and if necessary will use in future plumbing issues where applicable. They are deserving of five stars. Jose MejaresPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Repipe Home Hero's were friendly, fast, efficient and did excellent work!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our home repiped in January 2026, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, Simeon and his team were professional, organized, communicative, and respectful of our home. Before the work began, they carefully prepared and protected our home, and the project was completed within the promised timeline. Communication throughout the process was excellent. They kept us informed every step of the way and promptly answered all of our questions. We especially appreciated that they proactively explained when access to plumbing would require modifications, including cutting into the backs of sink cabinets and removing a wall-mounted cabinet. Everything was restored afterward with great care, and the cabinet was reinstalled securely and perfectly. Their transparency and communication gave us confidence throughout the entire project. What impressed us most was the quality of the drywall repair and finishing work. The patchwork is absolutely flawless—you cannot tell where any openings were made. The repairs blend seamlessly with our existing walls and ceilings, with no visible patches, texture differences, or imperfections. Even the painters, contractors, and cleaning crew who worked in our home afterward commented on the exceptional quality of the drywall work and were amazed at how invisible the repairs were. What truly set this company apart was their flexibility and consideration for our family. The day before the project began, my daughter broke her leg and was placed on bed rest, requiring us to remain at home throughout the repipe. Despite the added challenges, the crew went above and beyond to accommodate our family's needs. They worked around bath times and meal schedules and ensured we always had access to at least one functioning bathroom with running water. Their thoughtfulness, compassion, and willingness to adjust their workflow made a stressful situation much easier to manage. The workmanship, attention to detail, customer service, and value were outstanding. Simeon and his team delivered exactly what they promised and treated our home with care and respect. We highly recommend them to anyone considering a repipe and would not hesitate to use their services again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simian and his family from Repipe Hero was amazing to work with. Everything they said they were going to do and replaced got done and on time. They really treat you like family and go over everything they installed and answered any questions I had. I give them 100 Stars and would recommend them to everyone. Thank you to my new family addition job well done.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Repipe Home Hero during our full home repipe. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process, the crew was professional and respectful of our home, and they were always patient in answering questions and explaining the work being done. They were also very flexible when unexpected issues and scheduling changes came up, and handled everything professionally. Overall, they made a stressful project much easier to manage and we would definitely recommend them.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A pipe burst in our home twice within 2 years and so it was definitely time to repipe the whole home. I reached out to multiple plumbers and ultimately decided to go with Repipe Home Hero for their prompt communication, positive reviews, and competitive pricing. They completed the job in a little over a day and I’m happy with their service. Thank you Simeon, Stefan and crew! You’re my heroes for getting our water back on!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simeon and Roman came to our house over the weekend and installed several new angle stops and supply lines, plus a new PRV and shut-off valve as well as installing a Flo by Moen water monitoring system. It was a wide range of work, and they were both very professional, courteous, and very attentive to our needs. And Re-Pipe’s pricing was very fair. I recommend Re-Pipe Home Heroes highly.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Arrived on time and completed the work in half of the time with exceptional quality. Even the drywall work done was texture matched and non visible. Workers went significantly above and beyond to provide quality service and professionalism. 5.5/5!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I dont usually write reviews, but I feel I must for this company. We had gotten quotes from 5 different repipe companies and they were the most competitive one. At first I was hesitant because they were the lowest price. And I had many traumatic issues with prior contractors and plumbers that I didnt want to go with someone based on the price. But upon reading the great reviews on line, I took my chances but I was still preparing myself for what could happen. Simeon came to do the estimate. He was polite, courteous, professional, honest, no nonsense, and gave us a clean estimate. Comparing him to the other repipe companies that came, I already had a good vibes from him. He came the day before the schedule start date to make sure everything was in order. He and his crew came on time every single day and worked late through the night to finish the job. Before they left for the day, they made sure we had a working bathroom and sink so we could still stay in the house. Started Wed and by Friday inspection was done. Saturday drywall was completed. They even matched the texture and orange peel on my entire living room ceiling. They replaced my water heater and they used a good brand water heater Made in the USA. The whole crew was amazing. Stefan was wonderful along with Slava and another guy. I dont usually write reviews, but this one i have to because they are great group of people that deserve recognition. They just finished my home yesterday and I want to recognize their hard work. They are such master repiper that it comes natural to them. It's like an artful masterpiece. I can write a whole lot more positive things about them but this is getting long. But it was such a stress free experience dealing with them at a very reasonable price that I think they are a blessing. More power to you guys!
