Recommended Customer Reviews
Showed up when they were supposed to and did the backflow check efficiently - great price.
I don't know how to post my review of Jorge. It's messing me up. I just want to tell the readers that Alfa has done a very good job with my water heater. I would hire him again.
Had a backflow test was done on 6/13/18 and the invoice is paid but still waiting for the report. Called the office and the girl I talked to was very rude and told me when she finds them under all her paper work
she would email them to me. I would not recommend using them.
Ali C.Worst. Service. EVER. Do not use them. They charged us twice in 2017. Called to request a refund. The owner said no. We will credit you for next year's back flow testing. It is next year now. Called four times in the last two weeks. NOTHING. No return call. Then we texted and also emailed. Nothing. We call during office hours between 8 am and 4 pm. Nobody ever answers the phone. Nobody ever responds. No refund from last year. Unprofessional Unaccountable. No.
Good prices on back-flow testing. We haven't had issues with them and we've used their services for a few years.
Mary C.Amazing, ethical, friendly, prompt service. We had 2 very leaky outdoor spigots that needed fixing before the winter freeze. Our first quote from our previous plumber was $250 per spigot for total replacement, and we were told that no one would consider trying to just replace the washers, because they would be a rusted mess since they were the original spigots from when the house was built. Alfa told us right away that they would try replacing the washers first, and if that didn't work they would replace the spigots for $150 each. Eric came out and easily opened up the spigots and replaced the washers, and that was all it needed. Our total bill was $134 instead of $500 from the other guy. Amazing, right? We will always use Alfa after this experience.
I just had A Alpha do some work on a backed up sewer line in my basement. Had another company a few months back but the problem was never really fixed. A Alpha did the job thoroughly and with good professionalism. And the price wasn't bad either! They are a keeper.
So far, I have only used them to inspect and certify the backflow on my lawn sprinkler system. They are reliable, do the job when promised, and charge a bit less than most other plumbing companies. Based on this good service, now for over 6 or 7 years, and the excellent general reviews I've read here of their general plumbing work, I plant to call them for that when I need such work.
Stephen M.We have used A Alfa for two years for our annual backflow inspection. We have found their service to be very reliable and their servicemen like Tom to be very professional. Plus their pricing is very competitive with our sprinkler company.
Annie T.Our entire neighborhood uses these great folks! They are kind, and do the job right.
