Rey has replaced all our galvanized water pipes, the tankless water heater and the main. He is currently replacing the furnace. Very professional, timely and very fairly priced. Rey always goes the extra mile.

Rey has done a few large jobs on my house: replaced all our old water pipes; more recently the hot water heater. Also smaller jobs and we've been very happy with his work.

We have hired Rey over the years and have always been happy. He did a lot of plumbing on our house when we first moved into our home over ten years ago. We have had many projects over the years and even some emergencies. Old house old pipes. He has always been there for us! Five stars!
