"Jose and his guys just replaced a water heater under warranty and did a fantastic job. It started leaking yesterday afternoon and his crew were here at 9am the next morning and replaced the old leaking heater with a new one. Excellent work and we recommend them to anyone having plumbing issues. 5 stars."
