Best Kitchen Remodels in Irving TX
Plumber
We built our house 15 years ago, and one of our three water heaters starting giving us problems last month. (That's pretty good!) It would start out hot, but would run lukewarm within a few minutes. Researching it, it looked like a dip tube, which is a very minor repair, but with the age of the unit, we wanted to just replace it.
I used one of those sites to get quotes from several companies. Most were quick to call, with some giving quotes over the phone and others coming out, but they were ALL much higher than I expected. I tried calling all our local plumbing companies. I ended up getting about a dozen quotes, and they ranged from $1275 to $1685, except for one that was $2503.
Then I searched on Craigslist and found Brian's post there. He was advertising $640 for a ground floor install or $740 for a second floor (like mine). That was so low that I had to call to make sure that wasn't JUST the labor charge. He confirmed that was the whole price. The only surprise would be $15 per line if any of the lines needed a flex hose installed.
Brian was delayed getting here, but he was proactive about letting me know when he would be there. Most of the other companies just gave me a 4-hour window (just to get a quote!) and if he had done that instead of setting a specific time, he would have been inside the window. I was flexible on the time since I work from home, so it wasn't a problem at all.
Unlike most companies (who sent out two guys, just to do a quote), he was working by himself. You can tell he had a lot of experience by how easy he made it look to get the water heater upstairs and the old one down. He had the new one installed, the old one loaded on his truck, and everything cleaned up within 90 minutes of the time he arrived.
One line needed a flex hose installed. My total bill was $747. That was over $500 less than the next cheapest quote, and less than 1/3 of the highest one. And the ironic thing is that the water heater he installed was the EXACT same model that the $2503 company quoted.
With two other 15-year old water heaters in my house, I know who I'm going to call when the next one needs replaced.

Home Pro was very professional and honest with myself and company. HomePro was very respectful of our budget and did not go over. His crew did great work!! I would highly recommend them.
