EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will admit we when we all the 5 star reviews, we thought, no way this company could be this great, but they are!!! They installed new plumbing in the garage where we were installing a utility sink. They responded promptly, gave a fair bid, arrived on time, were easy to communicate with and conducted the work with utmost care, professionalism, and cleanliness. Stephen and his crew were friendly and polite and the work looks great. They cleaned up and we are truly pleased. If we ever need plumbers work again, we will be calling them and will not hesitate to refer friendsPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is an exceptional family plumbing company that does professional and beautiful work. Stefan (Dad), Simeon/Simon (Son), and team replumbed our townhome in 3 days and including pulling permit, inspection and final sign off. This was a 100% replumb versus a "complete" replumb which I have seen evidence of wherein a section of old pipe is not replaced because it's too difficult to reroute. It's either a true 100% replumb, or it's not. The home is three levels and the job was challenging in several areas. Dealing with HOAs can be an issue and this team was able to route the piping in creative and complex ways to avoid any stucco removal. While that may not always be possible it was clear they will go the extra mile to try and meet customer hope and desire if it's possible. The quality of the work from piping route analysis and design, drywall removal, plumbing craftsmanship and material (Type L copper in this case with true sweating/solder fittings), drywall patch and texture match was/is fantastic. The job also included replacement of the water heater. In addition, the team was respectful and remarkably prompt in all interactions and communications as well as respectful of the home. They covered everything, and cleaned during work and as part of job completion. We enthusiastically recommend Repipe Home HeroPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefan and his team were absolutely amazing. They did whole re-piping, patching and texturing in 2-3 days. They were very professional and efficient. Entire process was smooth. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns before the job began. His was the best quote we got out of all the places we had reached out to. I highly recommend them for repiping. Their team did an excellent job and we are very happy we went with them.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When the piping for our shower suddenly failed from corrosion, we looked for a plumber who could come on short notice. The first couple I called got an office person who offered to schedule on another day. When I called Repipe Home Hero, Stefan answered the call himself (tho he was already on another job). He listened courtesly and offered to come in a few hours when he was done with his current job. He was at our house in 3 hours and had only needed an hour or so to open the wall, install new piping, and patch it up as good as new. He's our hero.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simeon and Roman came to my house to replace all my shut off valves to sinks and toilets. They also replaced 2 bathroom sink fixtures. Unexpectedly, there was an extremely corroded pipe that had to be replaced and Simeon gave me a good price for replacing the pipe along with covering up the hole in the wall once the repair was done. He also did this for the hole left by other repair men under my kitchen sink without extra charge. He also replaced a tub overflow cover that was also corroded, no extra charge. Both of them were very professional and I am extremely happy with their workmanship. Highly recommend!!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stefan and his team were absolutely great! They were very professional and a genuinely nice group of people. We had a full pipe replacement at our home and are extremely pleased with the results. As a property manager in San Diego who deals with maintenance on a daily basis, I can confidently vouch for this company and highly recommend them. We were only out of our home for five days, whereas I’ve seen similar jobs take up to two weeks. From start to finish, they did an excellent job and we’re very happy with the outcome.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently, I hired Repipe Home Hero to repipe a four-unit apartment building after encountering several slab leaks within a short period of time. I’m very glad I chose this small, family-run business—they did excellent work from start to finish. From the initial estimate, Stefan and his team were courteous and professional, walking through each tenant’s unit and clearly explaining the process. One big bonus is that they patch walls themselves, which many plumbing companies subcontract out. Stefan, his sons, and their helpers are a close-knit group who clearly share the same values. Stefan is humble, honest, and never tried to upsell unnecessary work like many larger companies do. While price shouldn’t be the only factor when choosing a contractor, they offer very fair pricing and actually deliver high-quality work—something that’s rare these days. The 5-star reviews are absolutely spot on. Repiping is intrusive work, but they did an excellent job minimizing the impact. They built plastic sheet enclosures around every wall they cut and vacuumed during demolition to keep dust to a minimum. The piping was well laid out and properly strapped, just as it should be. The copper solder joints were clean, and the acid was wiped afterward—details that show true craftsmanship. I’m very hands-on with repairs and work with many different trades, and I can honestly say these guys are top-notch craftsmen who take pride in their work. They are honest, reliable, courteous, and they clean up thoroughly after themselves. We went with copper piping, and the finished work looks exactly like the photos in their reviews—clean, organized, and professionally done. As with any major construction project, unforeseen issues came up, but Stefan communicated promptly and clearly explained the available options. Even better, the crew finished ahead of schedule, which is always appreciated. It’s only a matter of time before I call them again for another major project. I work with many people in the real estate business and have been recommending Repipe Home Hero without hesitation. Overall, an outstanding job on a large and complex project.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. very satisfied to job. job well donePosted onTrustindex 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.
