Review and analyze now for company Affordable Plumbing and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''What can I say about this guy? This plumber Avi is simply amazing. There are not enough adjectives to describe him.
First of all, I have used Affordable plumbing (Avi) about 10 times for different plumbing needs to my house as well as my 2nd house at the back. This guy always comes through with quality work every single time.
It is called Affordable plumbing for a reason. I assure you he will not rip you off unlike the major name plumbing companies.
His prices are really that affordable. I had trouble with my bathtub which was really clogged up and needed it fixed.
I called a few places just to compare their quotes and the quote Avi gave me. I was really surprised how much cheaper his price quote was.
So I called Avi a day before to confirm for the following day. Avi came on time and communicated with me well on both days and he went straight to work.
He said it will not drain with the snake and thus I would need to replace my old metal pipe to a new abs plastic one. This required a lot of work.
He had to crawl underneath my house to cut out the old metal pipe and put the plastic one in. I was watching him the whole time and he is very meticulous with his work.
I turned on the shower and faucet to make sure it was draining properly and was very pleased with the work plus he did it for an affordable price. Avi has also fixed my toilets when they wouldn't flush, my kitchen sink when they were clogged, my bathroom sink when it wouldn't drain, my washing machine when it wouldn't drain properly as well my water heater when it was leaking (saved me a lot of money on that one) or else I would have to buy a new one which is over $1,000.
I cannot thank Avi enough for the quality work that he has done to my house as well as my secondary house. You will surely not be disappointed with the price and the completed work.
Thank you Avi and I will continue to use your services in the future. I want to thank Avner at Affordable Plumbing for coming on time to fix a problem with the kitchen sink and also found out the pipes underneath sink were not good.
If not fixed could've had a flood in the house. He took care of installing the brand new faucet for the hot/cold water and more, new pipes, & I had the old faucets.
My G-d dog, Holly Golightly, loves him. Finding a reliable plumbing service in West Hollywood has always been tough, until I discovered Avi's team.
Their long-standing experience since 1986 shines through in their work. We had an urgent faucet issue; Avi arrived quickly, diagnosed the problem, and had it fixed in no time.
His professionalism and customer-first approach were standout qualities. They offer a wide range of services, from water heaters to drain cleaning, making them a one-stop solution for all plumbing needs.
In a community where professional and reasonable services are rare, Avi's team is a true gem. Highly recommended for any plumbing issues you may face.
Avi really helped me out today! My toilet had a slow leak into my neighbors ceiling below me. In a condo this is very distressing and we wanted to get it taken care of quickly.
Avi was able to come over within 30 minutes and was in and out in about an hour, identifying and fixing the issue other plumbers had not. He's a very efficient and friendly guy with fair prices and I would absolutely use him again.
Avi is our favorite plumber at American Rag retail store located at 150 S. La Brea! We trust his quick response and honest work.
My toilet had a slow and inconsistent flush for over 9 months. During this time, two separate and licensed plumbers changed the flapper.
After the issue persisted, one plumber suggested the only option I had was to replace the toilet entirely. Avi came last week and immediately identified the issue.
He resolved the matter quickly and didn't try to upsell me on any labor or parts, despite originally being scheduled to replace a larger part we thought was the problem. I'm so grateful to have found Avi, whose honesty and integrity saved me a huge headache and thousands of dollars in replacing a toilet with new construction.
I will definitely be calling Avi in the future! We always call Avi for his expert honest care for the plumbing in our home. Honest, professional and all the plumbing gets fixed right .
Avi installed a water heater and in no time we had a new water heater -- he keeps all parts on the truck necessary to finish job and not waste any time . Absolutely more than five stars ! I live in a condo building with complete crap plumbing.
We came home to our dual sinks full of black stinky water. And here's what's weird -- we don't even cook so there is no food build-up in our disposal - we don't even use the disposal.
One quick text and we get an appointment with the amazing team at Affordable Plumbing. They busted out the clog, cleaned it all up and were on time, professional and awesome to work with.
I can't say enough about this company. Had to get an old bathroom faucet removed that required removing the sink to get behind the tub, or go under the house.
Avi initially gave me a quote for possibly opening the drywall, but when he found that there was an entrance to the tub, he deducted the amount from the estimate. Apparently he's been doing this for 30 years.
He definitely knows what he's doing and very honest, which is hard to find these days. Thanks Avi! Avi is hands-down the most honest, generous, talented plumber I have ever worked with.
Most of the time, he comes over and tells me that I shouldn't pay him because it wasn't that much work. I own multiple properties, and use him for literally everything from the smallest jobs to the biggest.
Simply the best. Avi - he is really the best and yes, he is affordable.
He will answer your call immediately and will not do the best job, efficiently and quickly. He has fixed my sink, and toilet several times.
He is the most trustworthy plumber I have ever met. Do not hesitate if you are still looking.
Thank you, Avi! Had a bathroom emergency at our office and we needed a plumber fast. I called several but was able to get Avi on the phone.
He was a pro from the start. He was the only one who tried to diagnose the issue with me over the phone.
Once we figured out what was wrong he came right over to our office. He was professional, quick, and most important, honest.
He did a great job and true to his word, affordable. He is our new go to guy for plumbing issues.
Thanks Avi! Avi is amazing! And most importantly...HONEST! He's been to my place twice now and I will definitely call on him again. The first time he fixed the job and did it for 1/4 of the nearest estimate.
This last time he came on a Sunday and diagnosed & fixed the problem almost immediately. I had a leak below my condo unit that had been an ongoing problem.
Other plumbers told me that the whole thing needed to be replaced and quoted me several thousand dollars to complete the job. Avi came in and realized it was a minor crack in the shower that was causing the leak and fixed it for $150.
I was so happy that I gave him a $100 tip. He called me soon after to tell me that he thought I made a mistake and overpaid him! He's the best.
Avi is amazing! He helped me install a bidet seat. He is very professional, quick, and really made sure that I'm satisfied with his work.
He even came again once a replacement arrived. After agonizing over a clogged kitchen sink drain and trying every method I knew to fix it, I realized I needed a plumber.
I called Thursday evening based on yelp reviews-- he picked up and within 3 minutes I had an early am appointment the next day. He arrived early which was great and fixed the clogged drain, quickly, professionally.
I really appreciate the personal service, ease of which to schedule an appointment, fair pricing, professionalism. Please support his business.
Thank you. Avi is the man!! Kind person that actually cares.
Avi has become my one and only go-to for pretty much anything and everything. He has saved us thousands of dollars and countless headaches.
He is honest, helpful, thorough, takes the time to teach me how to do things, what to watch for, has come out on a Sunday morning, Saturday evening, is always available and is just simply the best! I can't recommend him highly enough. He's practically my personal "who to call in case of an emergency".
Thank you Avi! you are a gem. Avi he's incredible.
He's cheap but he does a heck of a job. He usually gets there quick and goes above and beyond.
I highly recommend him. The worst contacting company on the planet does not follow up with there customers they are a joke don't hire these folks you will be disappointed We used him on a few houses and it went fine.
His bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired but hey he has done decent work in the past. Now he wants a lot of money to disconnect an old waterheater and reconnect a new one that is standing right next to it and light it, no parts, no taking away anything just an easy switchover max 30 minutes worth of easy work.
He seems to be angry at the world and that's to bad. We wish him the best.
There are a lot of very nice plumbers out there. ( The gas company will do it for less than him ) It seems workmen/ are good for a while and then they think that you owe them and want to hose you down.
We found him on Yelp here and in the past he was good. I've used Avi for a few different jobs and he always fixes the problem.
Always a fair price as well. I'll hire him again.
Avi has a lot of great reviews , but I couldn't know, until I met him and saw his approach to working, just how great he was. He was so helpful, so caring about details, and pointed out things I wouldn't have imagined I should ask.
And then there's the name of his company: Affordable Plumbing. His work (on 4 projects) was literally 1/4 of the quote I got from another plummer.
And he was willing to look to see whether something could be repaired, rather than just asserting that everything that had a problem needed to be replaced. Really grateful I trusted enough to call him up.
Found my LA Plummer. Yay!!! Avner Gilboa: Prince of Pipes Happily, Avi was available on short notice to address a nettlesome plumbing challenge.
We had a broken undermount bathroom basin held in place by "liquid nail". There was a good chance that demo'ing the broken basin would damage the whole double-sink vanity.
Avi worked his magic with extraordinary efficiency. He honored his quote even though the task was more complex than he originally imagined.
Avi is a cheerful, energetic, crisp professional. If you live in his service area (principally Hollywood and West Hollywood) you need look no further, IMO, for your plumbing needs.
*property management/apartment use review* Avi was easy to reach. I was able to text him both my address and to confirm my appointment time.
(Sometimes it's easier for me to text versus making phone calls! So I appreciate that!) I have an small apartment building in West Hollywood, so I was looking for a reliable, long-term, plumber that I could trust not to screw me over. First time I called him, turned out it was something he couldnt fix, but he did diagnosis that the appliance needed to be replaced and he didn't charge us for the trip or the diagnosis.
The second time, it turned out that my tenant had hired him before so he was already familiar with unit and the tenant. That made me feel more comfortable having him work in my tenants unit without my direct/constant supervision.
(I like to supervise new contractors while they work in my tenants units until I build a relationship and trust with them). The third visit, he fixed my tenants dishwasher that wouldn't power on.
Some plumbers would just tell you it's broken and have you pay for a new dishwasher plus installation. $$$$ turns out it was just disconnected...
he also replaced a disposal and under sink pipes in another unit during that same visit. He accepts credit card! And he sends an email invoice immediately! Makes bookkeeping so easy and automatic! Very professional, efficient, and he makes it easier for me to not have a property management company! Win for everyone We've had a persistent leak under our kitchen sink.
Avi was the third plumber to attempt to figure it out and fix it. Not only did he diagnose it correctly and fix it, he explained the situation in detail.
His prices were fair. We will definitely be using him again.
I concur with all the superlatives already given to Avi. Not only was he extremely reasonable in his cost on a Sunday morning, but he was superbly knowledgeable and efficient.
Like someone else wrote, he did not stop until he had a solution. He was extremely pleasant, wore a mask, and was very agreeable even though he was working under really tight circumstances and really old and Makeshift plumbing.
We had about 5 to 6 stops and starts until everything was fixed. But when he said "don't worry I will take care of you" he did.
I would highly recommend him. This is one of the best vendors I have worked with in LA for any kind of job.
I've asked Avi to do work that he didn't think needed to be done - and he told me don't do it. He was right and saved me money.
Show me another plumber who will turn down work b/c it was better for the customer. He has been out to our house multiple times with no pay and deserves 6 stars if that were possible.
While I didn't have the pleasure of working with Avi, he gave me a quote for about 5 different tasks that were needed on the place I was moving into. From the get go it was clear he is a genius at his trade and had an encyclopedic knowledge showers, sinks and toilets.
Prices are extremely reasonable. I called Affordable on a Sunday.
Avi told me how to turn the main water off and he was here right on time Monday. He fixed the problem.
He was very very nice and fair. Im glad i found him on Google.
I wouldn't call anyone else from now on! 5 stars!! Last Sunday I had an emergency where my bathroom sink was backing up with my upstairs neighbor's water as our pipes are somehow connected. After frantically trying to get the water cleared myself, I realized I needed help.
Avi was already in West Hollywood area and literally came about 20 minutes after we spoke. He was patient in parking in my garage (which is tight and there was no street parking).
He joked his parking/reversing/12 point turn to get into my spot would take longer than it will for him to clear the drain AND HE WAS RIGHT! He was in and out of my apartment and cleared the clog issue within 10 minutes. Since I was paying myself out of pocket and not my landlord (I dislike the plumber my landlord uses so I always just pay for my own) he gave me a discount which was very nice and not necessary.
He truly cares about his clients I can tell just from this one experience. I absolutely will use them again! Here's what you need to know: 1) The initial call was answered immediately.
2) The service was performed same day. 3) The price beat every other estimate received.
My experience with Affordable Plumbing was easy, fast, and affordable. I highly recommend and have already started sharing their contact info.
I would give Avi more stars if I could. in the 2 occasions he came out, he was responsive, ethical, knowledgeable and professional - and as the business name indicates, affordable.
I will surely continue to utilize his services and won't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. I saw all of these 5 Star Reviews and thought there is no way Avi could be as good as all of them said he was.
Well I was right, HE IS EVEN BETTER!! Came over for a low pressure in my master bath and kitchen sink and was in and out in 10 minutes and both problems solved almost as soon as he walked in. Beyond nice and always gave you the cheapest alternative if you didn't need the more expensive option.
He is my plumber for life and if you read my other reviews on here you know I am a very critical reviewer when I have to be. Thanks Avi! Earl Saved the day...
we needed someone to come in and problem solve 2 toilets with issues (leaking and not working) at a pop up event we were working on. He was able to come that day- had the parts to fix it with him- problem solved in less than a hour.
And affordable- helped us with leaky sinks too.. I don't often write reviews on here but felt compelled to do so for Avi - Really excellent work and affordable price.
I really enjoyed working with Avi. I put him on my list of contractors to work with and feel fortunate to have found him.
It's priceless to have a team of folks you can trust when remodelling a house. I'll also be recommending him to my friends.
AVI IS THE BEST! Our garbage disposal wasn't working and our toilet wasn't flushing, I told him I was in a rush and he was able to come over so quickly that same day! Was very communicative and so kind! Fixed everything up so quickly for such a reasonable price! Would 100% recommend Avi showed up quickly to my shopping center and got the job done. It wasn't a big job, but I appreciate that he took care of it for a great price and with great professionalism.
This guy is a star. Not only did he tell me my old bathroom faucet and fixture had a lifetime insurance and saved me 200 dollars, he came over super fast and even came back later after a missing part finally arrived.
He is a total gem and an all round nice guy. Avi was great! He was honest, had a decent price, communicative via text, and got the job done! If you're looking for a great plumber who isn't about bilking bucks look no further.
AVI at Affordable Plumbing walked me through fixing my bathtub drain -on the phone- when other plumbers would have insisted on "seeing" the problem and charging 125 just to say hello. The one visit he made prior was quick and cheap.
On top of that he's a very nice man. Look no further than Avi.
This is my first and only yelp review. Hal L.
homeowner Terrible, Terrible, Terrible!!! Fi rst, I've been a licensed General Contractor for almost 20 years, I just prefer not to do my own plumbing. Showed up at my place telling me that changing 2 existing shut off valves under the sink involved "cutting studs" (which was a complete and total LIE) Refused to provide me with a fixed estimate - a total "hustle"...
Run don't walk away from these shysters! Last minute, I needed to get some pipes replaced before a new washing machine could be installed. Avi came early the next morning and solved a lot of problems for me! He explained what parts he was replacing and why he was replacing them, which was very useful.
Great plumber and great service; I won't be going to anyone else as long as Avi is around. We've asked Avi to work on a number of plumbing repairs and upgrades in our home, both big and small.
He has always quickly responded, and come within a short time period, and his work has always been quick, affordable and impeccable. He is always very professional and easy to communicate with as well.
We've used other plumbers for various jobs, but the quality of his work has far exceeded theirs, and we will only be calling him from now on. We recommend him to anyone needing plumbing repairs or upgrades.
Really good and reliable plumber! I called on a Sunday morning when my sink was backed up and Avi was on it. He gave me an immediately quote with no run-around, showed up even sooner than promised, and called to let me know when he was on the way.
The problem turned out to be bigger than expected and he kept at it until my sink was draining perfectly. Highly recommended...
Came out same day, responded quickly, and fixed my problems. What more can a girl ask for.
Awesome business. Called him at last minute and he came out immediately.
Very fair pricing and great service. Would suggest to all my friends Avner is the best! My wife dropped her wedding ring in the sink.
I called Avner at 7pm and he was here within 20 minutes. He was able to find the ring within minutes and even checked other plumbings around the house and fixed my shower's water pressure.
At check out, he charged me less than quoted and refused to accept a dime more. He is a good and honest man.
I will, without a doubt, have him come back to any plumbing issues and will refer him to everyone. Thanks again Avner! I can not recommend Avi enough! I had another plumbing company come out and I was told that my shower would cost $750 to fix not including the drywall they would have to break to get to the back of the shower! I decided to get a second option and I found Avi! Avi came out the next morning and was able to fix my shower with just the $120 service fee! He has earned a customer for life and I will refer all my friends and family to him! Highly recommend! I can't say enough good things about Affordable Plumbing.
Avi answered my initial call, worked with me to find a time (same day!) and coordinated with me via text closer to the appointment. His price was really reasonable and he worked very quickly, fixing my problem in ten minutes.
I will use Avi and Affordable Plumbing for all future plumbing needs. Absolute five star service! Avi was quick smart affordable kind - he replaced my water heater and gave me tips on how to keep it lasting twice as long.
He called back right away after initial call, walked me through the process. He was honest and did it in less time than quoted.
He even cleaned up all around the space. Exceptional A* service.
Will hire him again most definitely!!! Avi is outstanding and honorable. It's a rarity to find a plumber like him.
He told me what I needed and that it should still be covered by the manufacturer warranty, and as soon as I got it to call him. He came over the next morning to set me up...we're thrilled!! Thank you, Avi! THANK YOU!! Avner came the same day I called, fixed our VERY broken sink, left everything clean for a great price.
They are my plumbers from now on. Avi saved my life today (well not literally, but almost because I was about to have a mental breakdown).
I was in tears from my sink overflowing over the past few days. I had a plumber come out earlier from First American Home Warranty (horrible service from Original Westwood Plumbing)and they could not fix my backed up sink.
I am a new homeowner with limited funds and I was dealing with sludge, water spillage everywhere and so desperate. I found Avi off of Yelp am glad I did.
He was so efficient and by God he knows plumbing. He is almost too honest to a fault.
He under-promised and over-delivered. He will definitely be my plumber for life.
Thank you Avi! The reviews certainly don't lie. Avner was prompt, rectified the probably rapidly and even ended up charging lower than the original estimate.
Then he also increased water pressure in one of my showers by 400%, something he kindly did without charging. Highly recommended! I'll make this short and sweet.
I called because of a clogged drain, Avi came within an hour, resolved another Issue while he was here, gave some advice on some future work, and charged a perfectly reasonable price. Support local independent business people, call him when you need plumbing help.
This guy is amazing. He showed up early (and that never happens) and unclogged my kitchen sink in under 15 minutes.
And the price he quoted over the phone was what he charged me. All his Yelp reviews are the real deal.
Fast. Honest.
Professional. Great attitude.
What more could you ask for. I have referred to others, would highly recommend and use again.
Avi was very good. Showed up in time.
Quoted me a better price than the other plumbers. Got the job done right with quality materials.
Would recommend and would use again. No complaints.
I called few places to get a quote for bathroom sink clog and toilet flapper replacement. Avner, the owner was the most respectful and honest about pricing.
I scheduled an appointment that same day and he came within 2 hours. Avner was able to explain what was causing problems and also advised me on necessary things to do in order to prevent from happening again.
There were no "additional fees" or added pricing - he kept his word with the agreement we had over the phone. Very respectful and honest man, I will be reaching out to Avner again for future plumbing issues! Affordable Plumbing is Amazing - especially Avi! He was quick, honest, and respectful.
Our condo is part of an older building and Avi quickly figured out that the problem was not with our sink, but the unit below us. He confirmed that it would be fixed after the unit below was fixed, and didn't charge us the full repair rate - simply a service call/estimate fee.
He cleaned the area where he was working, and left everything better than he found it. Just like others have said, you don't find people like him everyday.
Use him and his company and you wont regret it! A i is wonderful- he worked on our leaky kitchen sink and fixed the bathroom low pressure faucet. A pleasure to work with!! Thank you! Called for a quote on uninstalling a clothes washer and installing a new one.
Was told the job would take a couple of hrs and minimum charge $250. I really didn't think the task was that involved so tried a few other places.
Someone else came round took 20 mins and charged $80. That is all.
My boyfriend and I moved back into my condo after being away for a few years. We discovered on a Sunday morning that our shower wasn't running hot water.
Having had a great experience with Avi in the past, I immediately called him. He responded right away, and after a few calls and pictures of our shower plumbing, he was able to diagnose the issue over the phone.
Rather than coming out and having us incur a costly repair, he walked my bfriend through the fix. Avi is amazing and didn't give up until he found a solution.
Had we needed, he was more than happy to come out, but he was just as happy to help and save us the cost. Who does that??? Avi! Call him...you will not regret it.
I think I may have just found the best plumber in L.A. Avi really knows his stuff.
I had a blocked kitchen sink, which sounds like no big deal -- but Avi got to the bottom of a chronic issue that we had no idea was connected to the sink drain. The line from the sink was just so full of sludge that not only was our sink backing up but the dishwater air gap was shooting water everywhere.
We had three previous plumbers take a look and no one figured it out until Avi. We also had a toilet that was wobbly like an uneven restaurant table.
He removed the toilet and found that the guy who installed it did it wrong. You could tell by looking at it, but when it's under a toilet you don't see it.
Anyway, he fixed our water pressure in both showers as well. And not only was he reasonable -- he was worth every penny.
He's my go-to-guy now. Plus, my dog liked him...
We had a severely blocked line to the sewer and Avi did a terrific job. Our clean out line was inside the house and this presented a real challenge.
So he and his crew first detected where the line went out to the street and put in a new clean out line outside that connected to it. This led to him successfully cleaning the roots out and the system is working fine now.
Avi was professional and kept in touch with us - I've never had a plumber text me and ask if things are ok. He realized that not having a sewer line was an emergency for us and acted accordingly.
I recommend him highly. Update: After two years, the line got blocked again.
Stuff gets stuck, such as plant roots. Although this was not as bad blockage as before, Avi was on site within a short time and got the job done.
He's the best! You will not find faster service or people more accommodating! Avi was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to get to our house first thing on a Monday morning! Highly recommend! If you need a great plumber look no further!! Avi is terrific. I called him about a difficult washer/dryer installation and gas grill hookup at my new place.
He came right when he said he would, and he was able to diagnose and troubleshoot and fix the problems where another company couldn't. He even pulled a valve from his truck to make sure the one I had did the job.
His hourly is very reasonable. He even loves dogs! Call this guy! Had a backed up shower and a backed up bath tub.
Called the number listed but was not able to get through. Avi called back immediately.
Told me he could be there in an hour. Showed up in 30 minutes.
Even though part of the job was a bit more complicated than expected, he held to his original quote, which was very reasonable. He got the job done very quickly and was professional and friendly They were very helpful and wore masks.
They showed up on the same day that needed help. Every time I've called Affordable Plumbing, I've gotten great results.
Easy to schedule, arrives right on time, does great work, very professional, goes above and beyond. Today was a great example.
Main issue was fixing the persistent leak in the toilet. Avi came with exactly the right parts and it was done.
Then he fixed a longstanding problem with the hot water in my shower. All for a very reasonable price.
Recommend highly. Getting someone to fix stuff in your house is not an easy thing , you never know if they try to push for more things to fix so they will get paid more or if they even knows what they are doing.
i called those guys and the owner responded immediately , he did a great job, one of those old school people with a lot of experience and integrity , price was reasonable not a sales person but a real pro. Thank you so much.
Avi the man with the longest eyelashes. He has done a few jobs for me in different properties I own.
Sometimes he is able to fix the problem over the phone for no charge in 5 minutes. Quick easy and efficient.
My go to plumbing guy. Avi is simply amazing.
Committed to doing the best job possible, and obviously truly cares about helping his costumers. I feel so very grateful to have found him and that he will always make time in his busy schedule to help me with whatever plumbing issue i have.
THE BEST. Called him fri morning because my toilet clogged up and he showed up in less than an hour and got it fixed and taken care of right away.
Recommend! Absolutely amazing customer service. He fixed a difficult plumbing job that three other plumbers weren't able to fix - and in under five minutes! We also had another issue come up and they were able to come and repair it that within that same hour.
Phenomenal service. Thank you! Avi was great! I had a clogged kitchen sink and needed a new garbage disposal, I called Avi on Sunday evening and he came on Monday and quickly fixed my sink.
I forgot to get a receipt and texted him a week later and he quickly sent me a copy. Avi is 1st rate, professional, on-time, friendly and honest! Avi is the best!! Called me back immediately and had my issue resolved in under an hour.
I would gladly hire him again. Can't say enough good things about the quality of his work.
This review is for Thanksgiving Eve. Sorry it's taken me so long to write it.
These guys are superheros. 9pm, the night before Thanksgiving, 15 people coming over in 18 hours.
A sink over-flowing with dishes and there is a puddle growing on the floor in front of the sink. I turned on the water and the puddle quickly became a lake.
We called another plumber Mike Shine Bright Like A -------. DO NOT USE THOSE GUYS.
Came out and told us we needed to completely re-plumb our sink and that he would need to come back in the morning and drill through the wall to make a new drain. We were told $3000.
If it weren't for my friend looking on yelp, we might have gone with it. She found Affordable Plumbing on yelp with all of the great reviews--We paid the Mike D guy $300 and sent him on his way.
Called Avner--it's almost 11pm at this point the night before Thanksgiving. I think we woke him up.
We tried to explain the problem, took pictures etc...and he said he would come by but he would change $1000 or more depending on the problem. What were we going to do? So, Avner came by and within 10 minutes had fixed the problem.
He then said he would only charge us $300 because the job was much easier than he thought. Needless to say, we tipped him very well.
The sink is fixed to this day. Haven't had a problem since.
Best plumbing experience I've ever had horrible. spent thousands of dollars on different services.
when my water heater that they installed less than 2 years ago it needed an ignition kit that they had to pick up from the distrubitor that they purchased the water heater from. I cant do it its free - warranty item.
Iwas going to pay for the installation but instead they said they won't do it. Ok ? but kept wanting to waste my time telling me to call the gas company to come light the pilot.
thats not the issue. so frustrating they are not inexpensive, do an ok job, but don't back up any of their work.
run dont walk Honest and fair. What else can I tell you? This is a reasonable no B.S.
guy who will take the time to explain to you what is going on, and this is an issue in L.A. because with all the crappy old street pipes it is sometimes hard to tell where the problem is.
The last time he came we lived in Hancock Park where the pipes are literally 90 years old and often wrapped with tree roots. We have since moved and I need him again and there is no one else I am going to call.
You don't need a guy from the radio, because someone has to pay for those ads and it's going to be you! Trust Avi!'''.
