EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefan, Simon, and their crew repiped my entire one-hundred-year-old house and replaced all of the drains and main sewer line, essentially my entire plumbing system. Throughout the process they were honest, respectful, accommodating, and highly competent, from the demolition to the patching. In fact, even the city inspector was impressed with the work they performed and the materials they used. The quality of the plaster repairs is top-notch, as good as anything I've seen from professional plasterers. A complete repipe is one of the most intrusive and intimidating projects you can undertake, especially if you're living in the house. Repipe Home Hero made it so much less stressful. They completed the work quickly (four days), and for a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a repipe or drain replacement.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefan came over immediately to give me a quote. I was in a bind as I was without water for a day and a half as I had a leak from my water main to my house. Stefan got me a quote for a reasonable price to reroute my piping with copper piping from the main into the house going through the garage. He came the next day and he and Stefan Jr. And Simon completed the job in 5 hours. That included trenching for the new pipe and all of the work in the garage. I was delighted with the result. Very professional. And the cleanup was outstanding.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you have found Repipe Home Hero while searching for plumbing needs you can stop looking now. Believe the 5 star ratings. I interviewed/proposals from 3 plumbing companies. I had to have my house plumbing "Repiped" because I was just so tired of the leaks in the walls. The builder used thin thin thin copper pipe that did not hold up. Stefan came out and we talked about PEX but in the end he is a believer in copper and so am I. His proposal was reasonably priced for the thick copper pipe and I am so satisfied with how quickly the work was done. Their knowledge and excellent attention to detail was obvious. And wow - the dry wall work was perfect. Very happy. So happy that I had them replace some faucets and do some other repairs. They are my go to for all plumbing needs moving forward! Thank you Stefan and team!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a hot water slab leak (areas underneath our floor were very warm). Luckily it did not damage our floor. We looked around for repair company and found Stefan with Repiping Home Hero. We had old copper pipes of 45+ year old and they need to be replaced (you can look at copper vs PEX and see which is best for you). We can’t say enough about Stefan and his workers. They are hard working and trustworthy. Plus their price was very reasonable compared to another company. They communicated what they would do, and they did everything to our satisfaction. They even suggest getting it permitted which we felt good about. They put in a new Reverse Osmosis water filter for us and got rid of our old broken water softener. They gave us sensible advices. They are honestly nice. So if you need new pipes or repair, don’t look anywhere else. Hire them asap and you won’t regret it.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefan & his team re-piped our entire house and also installed a water filtration system. I can honestly say that it was the best experience we ever had with a plumbing company. The flow of information, quality of work and attention to detail were outstanding. The fact that they were able connect the new pipes to the shower valves without have to break out any tile inside or stucco was particularly impressive to us. Plumbing magic! We wholeheartedly recommend Repipe Home Hero.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you have any plumbing problems, don’t hesitate for a minute to call Repipe Home Hero for help. I had a slab leak in my home and all the water was turned off. Simeon came out the same day I phoned him. I was super impressed by Simeon’s knowledge and he found a way to restore running water to the house the same day he first came out. He gave us a very fair price for a whole house repipe through the attic. We were able to get the job going right away. They do everything by the book including filing for the City building permit and successfully meeting with the Building Inspector to get us back to normal ASAP. Simeon takes great pride in doing thorough, excellent work and we certainly benefited from his expertise. Simeon, Stefan and Slava were amazing. They are very honest, kind people and good communicators with straightforward explantations of the scope of the work. They seemed to have unlimited energy and worked long hours to get us back to normal as quickly as possible. Even when they were working in my home’s very hot attic space they were always positive and smiling. They were so patient when explaining things. They took great care to keep the dust and dirt contained by masking with plastic sheeting and putting down drop cloths to cover all the floors. They cleaned up every day before they left and we had running water every night. They arrived promptly and on time when they said they would be here and they kept us well informed of their plans. Their care and professionalism kept the disruption of a whole house repipe to the absolute minimum. We didn’t even need to move out of the house. And they went out of their way to do extra things to make it easier for us. While they had the plumbing open, we asked them to install an outdoor utility sink. Just like everything else, the quality of their work installing the sink was excellent. The new copper pipes were beautiful in the walls before they patched and closed the drywall. Simeon is very talented at matching the original drywall texture. You can’t tell there were any holes ever made. Perfect! Repipe Home Hero has my full confidence, my highest compliments and I can recommend them thoroughly.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prior to reflooring our house and after dealing with a few costly pin hole leaks that caused a mess, we started down the re-pipe path. We were nervous going into this process because it involves a lot of prep work and a lot of holes in places that make your eye twitch, so we took the time interviewing re-piping contractors and researching the process. Simeon came over in the evening, straight from another job that he was working on, and we felt at ease with him/Re-Pipe Home Hero immediately. Simeon is not a salesman but the actual guy who will do the work, they are an experienced family business and crew. Simeon took the time to walk us through the process and the pros/cons of PEX vs copper. The pricing on copper was fair and very competitive. We met with some others but knew our choice was made already. Even knowing that with copper and a smaller crew than some others, it was going to be a few days longer vs PEX and a larger crew, but I can tell you, it was well worth it because Simeon, Stefan and Slav are artists. The prep was thorough, the piping turned out great and then the drywall patching and texturing is just as good. You can tell these guys know what they are doing and take the time to do it right. I do have to say that it was also fun talking with them every day and they were gracious even though they were answering my ongoing inquiries (aka dumb questions) and we were likely in their way often. This is not a paid review, and we didn't get offered anything, etc., We are just that impressed with their work and glad to have met them as well.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a new gas range installed but the existing gas valve out of the wall hit too high on back, leaving a 3” gap from wall that impeded adjacent drawer from opening. Sent a text message after hours to Repipe Home Hero and received a quick response that they could schedule me for Sunday morning. They installed a recessed gas valve box which required cutting drywall and lowering the gas stub-up poking to outside. They were able to do all this in one trip and the drywall patch was perfect. Simeon was tech, he was polite, efficient and did. Good job cleaning up. Will call this family business for any future plumbing needs.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefan (father), Simeon (son), Slava and Stefan Jr. were top notch. The whole crew was 10/10. I knew I was going to hire them the minute I met them. Their estimate came in way lower than a family friend. They were highly efficient, extremely skilled, prompt, professional and even came back to fix a minor issue that was my fault. I was very impressed when they took their shoes off before they put the tarps down. I was surprised at how the walls were put back together beautifully and you can't even tell anything was done and the angle stops are better quality than the ones I had installed 3 years ago. The repipe took about 2-3 days and was painless because I totally trusted them and didn't hesitate to leave them alone in my house. I would definitely use them again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a big slab leak in my house. Simeon came and gave me an estimate. The estimate was very fair and so much lower than a major A/C and plumbing company had quoted me. Repipe Hone HERO KNEW I needed help right away. The house needed a complete repipe. They worked my multi day job into their schedule quickly. They worked very long days to complete my job quickly. They work hard! They were very professional and did an excellent job. These guys get the highest rating from me! First class work.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
