Recommended Customer Reviews

5 star experience and service! I called the Gladiator Repipe team yesterday and had someone come out the next day (my project wasn't an emergency)! Cynthia helped get me setup with a quick appointment and estimate using iMessage. I received a text when Jose was on his way, he took a quick look and suggested that we approach the shutoff valve replacement project from inside of the garage oppose to outside because repairing the sheetrock inside would be a much easier job (I didn't think of this). He was able to quickly replace and repair everything. Jose was extremely professional, sociable and I definitely felt like he took pride in his work!
The cherry on top for me was being able to make payment electronically using ApplePay!
Thank you to the entire Gladiator Repipe team and I look forward to working with you in the future!

I am so grateful to Gladiator Repipe for their courtesy, professionalism and expertise. Their Super Star Project Manager Yuri S. helped me coordinate the repipe with foundation work which saved me time and money. Everything with Gladiator went smoothly - so unlike most contractors I deal with (Yuri, can you manage the rest of my life? LOL!). Thank you Gladiator for zero headaches, frustration or disappointment. They provide a clear and concise typed estimate (one you can actually read, not some illegible hand-written notes or a confusing form), real support from the project manager at all phases of the project, respect for tenants, and great work. They are beyond competent - they absolutely go the extra mile. I know I am in good hands with this company, so I am not wasting time obtaining other estimates for our next project, drain system and sewer lateral replacement. Also, they did a fantastic job replacing the water heater and repairing a dryer vent, work included with the copper repipe project. My one stop shop! Choosing Gladiator was the smartest rental home renovation project decision I have made so far and would ask them to do work in our own residence as well. Five plus stars!

I would give these guys 6 stars if I could. We had an issue with a drain blockage as a result of some remodeling work in our Eichler. Eichler's are notoriously tricky for plumbing issues given that they are built on a slab. When our remodeling contractors couldn't fix the problem, we called another plumbing company who couldn't either. They told us we needed to find someone who would hydrojet the line to fix the problem. James from Gladiator came out promptly and came up with a creative solution to fix the problem. He spent several hours over multiple visits diagnosing and fixing the blockage. We could not be more impressed with his level of customer focus. He and his brother are the real deal. Highly recommend.

I am very pleased with the whole house repiping done by Brian and his team. During this project, several walls were opened for replacing the old pipes with new copper pipes. Permits were obtained flawlessly. And finally, the walls were patched and left in paint ready condition. During the job, Brian also spotted a drain pipe leak and also my dryer vent was off causing lint to be blowed to my attic. These repairs were also done while the walls were still open. All the team were very friendly and professional. They communicated well in all steps and informed me of the progress which made me feel comfortable. I definitely recommend their services.

I did a lot of shopping around before choosing gladiator re-pipe. They were not the least expensive but they were not the most expensive either. The engagement with them was fine and they are all really nice. I had them remove two old tank water heaters and re-pipe the entire house replacing the the old water heaters with tank less models. I did a copper / pex combination. The job lasted about 3 days and they were very careful and respectful of my home and property. They did a great prep job and nothing really got dirty inside the house. After the job was done.....my water pressure is worse. I had the job done in the winter and my landscaping was not using the automated sprinklers. So what i have noticed now is that the sprinklers are kicking on but there is so little pressure to them that they barely even pop up so all of my lawns and landscaping are dying and I have very little pressure to any outside lines. Again, all broken. Also, my hose bibs, barely have enough pressure to wash your hands. All of this was fine on the old pipes. While doing the re-pipe they moved a gas line (propane) that was rotted out under ground. There were some issues with the pipe due to it being rusted out. They claimed they fixed it but did not and it drained a 500 gal propane tank costing me a bunch of money. I called them to tell them about it and they were like ""oh well, pay us 3500 and we will come look at it"". I opted to have another company replace the entire line to the propane tank for 1500 and they commented on how it was a half ass fix and were laughing at it. So now add about 4500 hundred to the total for the re-pipe for a new line and refill of the propane tank. Then....in the master bath, I have two sinks right next to each other, turn one on, hot in like 8 seconds, turn the one on that is right next to it, 45 to 50 seconds. I don't want to call them because I feel like they are going to treat me like they did about the gas line and blow me off or offer to ""help me"" fix their janky job for some huge price tag or try and blame me. They are great up front but I do not feel like they give a crap about you or the job they do after they get their money. Personally I would wish i would have went with another company. The showers all have far less pressure as well and if you are using a shower and someone turns on anything, I mean anything the pressure goes down to unusable levels.

This review is solely for Yuri and Jose. Out of 9 years of being a property manager I have not seen this type of focus, dedication, communication and quality that I have seen with Yuri and his team. I was in desperate need of a plumbing solution due to brown water in my 6 unit building. For months I have gone over this project with many plumbers and no one gave me clear understanding or direction on how to move forward until I spoke with Yuri. We spoke for an hour about the job, how it works and he answered all my repeated questions to understand the work needed. He was so patient and kind. We met on-site and walked the property and planned out the scope of work. On the day of work the team came in and finished within 2 days and another 2 days for dry wall and patching. Jose ran his repipe team with ease and again, any questions where clearly answered and communicated. As a manager I take on the responsibility of handling residents and project scope but this duo really stepped in and took over everything to a point that I can relax and handle other work I had. All resident questions were answered by the team on site. The work itself was done seamlessly and flawlessly. This was all done while the building was fully occupied and there were no complaints. Thank you guys so much for an incredible job! I will be using Yuri and his team for my next plumbing project coming up.

Last year we got our house repiped with Gladiator, and they did an excellent job. They have an army of workers that started the work in the morning and finished by 4pm. A few days later, they got another team that did the dry wall repair, and I was very impressed with their work as well.
I worked with Yuri and we got a competitive quote. I highly recommend their repipe services.

There was low water pressure coming from our pipes, specifically with our hot water and tankless water heater. Jose showed up right at 10AM as expected. He was quick to diagnose the problem after listening to our explanation and was able to immediately solve the issue. Not only that he educated us on what proper maintenance should be and even recommended that we pay attention to getting a pressure regulator for where the water main met the house to protect the tankless water heater and overall pipes in the house.
I wasn't notified of what the service charge was for a tech to arrive and diagnose the problem but their prices were very reasonable. If I have any future issues, I will definitely be calling Gladiator Repipe again for help.

Hired Gladiator Repipe for a simple gas connection job, the response was quick, techinician arrived on time, completed the job in less than 2 hours. Will definitely consider Gladiator Repipe for future projects.

My toilets were backed up and I needed help! I called Gladiator and spoke to Robert. He was very friendly and though they were booked up he said he could send someone out between appointments to see if they can help! Sure enough, they sent Jacob. He was very well mannered and went to work right away! Unfortunately his snake broke and so he called his boss and said they would send another person by. Not long after, Philip stopped by and within the hour everything was working perfectly! When all was said and done, they only charged me for Philip's time!
I consider myself a customer service critic, and I have to say that every person I dealt with at Gladiator was friendly, respectable, knowledgable and they have integrity. Highly recommend!!! I think we got ourselves a new plumber!
