EXCELLENTTrustindex 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!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One fine day, we saw water all over the floor, and knew what was coming .... followed the normal procedure - called restoration guys, as usual they were ready to rip everything off, put the fans, call the insurance and give you a hefty bill but they won't check the leak location. So, I called the leak detection guys - they did a pretty good job in detecting the lead and now I know I have to do a re-pipe. So, I called repipe folks. I had about 7 repipe folks came and give me the quote. Stefan of Repipe Home Hero was the first person to visit and gave a no-nonsense clean quote and it was the lowest of the lot. The best part was he mentioned before hand that his quote will be the lowest. Stefan started the work on the planned day. Done with the repiping in 2 days - on time and very efficient. Started the water on 3rd day to check leaks and requested for inspection. Inspection done on 3rd day 10am (as told) and then started to work on the drywalls. In next 2 days, the whole drywall repairs and painting (matching the texture) were completed with perfect cleaning. The whole work fully completed in 5 days. I am very late to write this review after ~1.5 yrs, but I am still fan of what Stefan and his co-worker did back then. It was pure professionalism, no-nonsense no-haggle no-ripping-off quote, always on-time, respect of the property and privacy, no wastage of time, absolutely clean work, thorough checking after the work done, perfect patching of the dry wall and complete matching of the texture. Stefan delivered 5 star quality in all aspect of this work. Highly recommended.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simeon was excellent from start to finish. During his first visit, we realized we had mistakenly received a sink instead of a toilet bowl, and he was incredibly patient and understanding, offering to return once the correct parts arrived. On his second visit, he was again professional and efficient, doing a great job installing our new bidet toilet and properly disposing of the old one. Highly recommend!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Repipe Hero. The team consists of incredibly hard workers who are both professional and meticulous. One of my biggest concerns was the potential mess, but they were very neat and organized, taking the time to cover all of our floors to ensure everything stayed protected. They worked diligently and quickly, even putting in overtime to make sure they met our deadlines. The level of commitment to getting the job done right and on time was impressive. The customer service is also top-notch. Simeon followed up with a phone call after the work was completed just to check in and help with some troubleshooting. It’s rare to find that kind of proactive care and follow-through. I highly recommend them!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Repipe Home Hero re-pipe my house recently. They gave me very competitive price using L type copper pipe. Crew are courteous and professional. They worked hard until late evening. They also accommodate my request to fix existing drywall hole for free. I am very happy with Repipe Home Hero service.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly highly recommend this company. Stefan and Simeon were very responsive. Scheduled time quickly. Work was done much faster than I expected and done very well. Their prices are very reasonable as well. I will definitely be calling them again if needed.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered a slab leak at the same time our heater was replaced. First it was the hot water line, then about a week later there was a cold water leak too. We got some estimates for a whole house repipe and out of all of them, Stefan was the most confident about the layout of our home and he even came out on a Saturday to do the estimate and provided it when we met. His estimate was competitive and he had done work at a condo building we knew about recently and we received positive feedback from the owners. We are so thankful we went with his company. They are a family owned business, all very nice, courteous and were conscientious about protecting all the areas they were working on, with floor coverings and plastic to help contain the dust. They came when they said they would and worked very hard late into the night for us. We always had running hot water every night too and they cleaned up before leaving. They treated our home as if it were their own. We have a shower on one side and a bathtub on the other, both plumbing fixtures sharing a wall. We were concerned they might have to go into the tiles, but they were able to repipe keeping all the tile and plumbing fixtures intact. This was an expensive and stressful couple of weeks for us, having both hits, but we were so pleased with their quality of work and careful attention to detail. They left us as if they were never even there! Also, the city inspection was scheduled immediately after the copper lines were installed and there was no delay in between the drywall repair. Very smooth process, they are definitely a high performing team and do outstanding work. Many Thanks Stefan to you, your sons and your team, we sincerely appreciate all your hard work, fine craftsmanship, attention to detail and most importantly, the peace of mind you all gave us! Very highly recommended!!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefan and his team did an excellent job on our whole-house repipe. They completed the entire project in three days while minimizing drywall openings and carefully patching the walls afterward. The team was professional, kept the work areas clean, and did a great job cleaning up at the end. I highly recommend Stefan for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality plumbing work.
