Our 15 year old tankless water heater decided to quit on us. Called around, got one estimate that seemed exorbitant for just swapping out boxes. Talked to Gene, he quoted us a price about 40% less than what the first guy offered for the same Rinnai tankless condensing water heater. Had it in stock, came out same day (first guy was going to take several days), had it installed in a few hours. Didn't have quite enough tubing to finish installing the overflow line for the neutralizer for condensation dripline (not immediately necessary for the water heater to function), so promised to come back next week to finish. Would definitely recommend.

I was in a bind from Home Depot and their associated plumbing company. The water heater had been leaking for days causing rot and constant dumping of water and they delayed and told me bs info. I found Gene in a pinch and he was quick to reply and come over. The next day he did a fantastic job full of custom work - probably why the other company didn't even take my job. He is professional, very skilled, and does exactly what he promises.

Thank you Gene.

If you need any plumbing/water heater situations fixed, call him first!!!

It was extremely lucky that my siding contractor had hired Affordable Plumbing to move hose bibs at my house! When Gene came to the door and said he was a plumber, I asked him whether he'd do a separate job for me. I wasn't at all sure that he'd say yes; I know that plumbers and most contractors are extremely busy during this pandemic. However, not only did he say yes--he fixed my leaky toilet TODAY (and also tightened an outdoor faucet that had been leaking). When I discovered the toilet leaking water all over the floor yesterday, I shut off the water and figured that toilet would be out of commission for possibly months because a plumber would be so hard to find. Gene made my very difficult day brighter, and I appreciate it VERY MUCH!

Gene helped us out with our tankless Rinnai water heater. He had to troubleshoot and replace two different parts, and even came to finish the job on a Saturday morning. We ended up having another problem with the water heater and he came by same day to button the job up.

""Unaffordable Plumbing""- the price quoted for a faucet and garbage disposal was in the range of lawyer fees- around $350 an hour. Plus Gene's attitude was among the most surly and offensive of pretty much any trades person that we have (almost) engaged.

Gene returns calls and is available on short notice, which is hard to find. If you ask for a bid, he will give you one. He doesn't itemize; he bids by the job, so you need to have an idea of what it is worth to you to have the job done. It helps to know what the going rate is and how much parts cost. His prices are high, but it may sometimes be worth paying a little more when you need a plumber who is available on short notice and will get the job done promptly. The work he's done for us seems fine; he solves the problem and leaves the work area tidy, and he did wear a mask when he was here during COVID.

Gene came out to my house within an hour of my initial call on a Saturday. He diagnosed the problem with my water heater very quickly (there was no real problem. I'm just an idiot with this kind of stuff). He also noticed that the hot water expansion tank was full of water and needed to be replaced. He gave me a reasonable quote and returned within an hour with the part to replace that.

Later on Saturday, I noticed that the hot water pressure was insufficient. I called Gene on Sunday expecting that he would get back to me on Monday. He returned my call on Sunday and walked me through correcting the low pressure issue over the phone and via text.

Great service, fun personality, competent. Glad I found Gene. I won't hesitate to reach out to him for future plumbing and drain needs. Highly recommended.

Came out on a holiday on short notice to fix our water heater. Great job and additionally offered some helpful advice regarding making the water heater more efficient. Would definitely use again.

★★☆☆☆

Quite UNaffordable in my case. They cleared out our clogged drain in the kitchen and fixed a small leak I caused by plunging the sink. For 2-3 hrs work I paid more than I did for materials and 5 days labor to have my beautiful front porch built. The sink drains now without leaking, but I should have gotten an estimate. You should too.

Very happy with Gene's work. He installed a new tankless water heater, got all the details right, got it done quickly, and charged a a fair price. The system is working perfectly. Gene does high quality work and cares a lot about getting it done right.
