As the second-generation owner and CEO of Sunshine Plumbing & Heating, I carry on a proud legacy. My journey began with my parents, Joe & Anna Santangelo. They arrived from Italy, filled with aspirations for a brighter future for our family. My father brought with him a strong work ethic and a commitment to integrity, shaped by his upbringing as a farmer in the old country.

Driven by a desire to improve their circumstances and help others, they established Sunshine Plumbing in Albuquerque in 1973. He had one guiding principle as he began to grow the business and hire staff: ""Always do the right thing.""

Joseph Santangelo Jr. is at the helm of Sunshine Plumbing. The company was established in 1973 by his father, Joseph Santangelo Sr., who immigrated from Italy. Upon arriving in New York, Joseph Sr. met his wife, and they later moved to New Mexico to start their family and careers. The Santangelo family aspired to deliver top-notch service and value to their customers, a promise they have honored over the years. Under the leadership of Joseph Jr., Sunshine Plumbing strengthens its reputation for dependability and integrity, working to distinguish itself from rivals by doing more than what is expected.

I just started using Steward's this May but have been really impressed. The office staff are efficient and knowledgeable. Appointments are scheduled with a 2 hour window. The plumbers have always been within that window! They've handled numerous projects for me from augering a toilet to detecting a tub drain leak to installing new faucets in the house to installing a new hot water heater and recirculating pump. They do a great job including cleaning up after they're done.

I have used Stewards Plumbing several times over the last 2 years. From replacing a heating and cooling unit on a commercial building to unclogging the drains in my sinks. They are always courteous and friendly. They send an email and call to schedule appointments and when they are on their way. Customer service is great. I have had to have them back to fix the thermostat and they did it, no complaints and no charge. I would not dare to try another plumber.

Not only do they tackle all of your plumbing needs, but they're the best guys around. They helped me rescue a stray cat out of a tree just because they are AWESOME.

Customers beware... They will tell you it's under warranty over the phone. Then they will hit you will a big bill a few days later. This is not a good business practice. Please think long and hard before you use Stewarts plumbing.

Plumbers have no license, show up on job sites and leave a mess when they leave. receptionist 'Jony ' is rude and leaves you on hold for long periods of times. called several times to ""reschedule"" due to issues with schedule.

ROTO-ROOTER does not care about the quality of life of our neighborhoods. They disrespectfully allow their ugly beaten-up trucks to be parked in residential neighborhoods shamelessly advertising their company while neighbors have to stare at that awful eye sore! I pay taxes for a wide street and scenic views and ROTO ROOTER has ruined that for me with that UGLY van I have to look at every day. DO NOT use this company--they DON'T CARE about resident quality of life and are too CHEAP to offer worksite parking spaces.

We have a 1950s house with a 1950s plumbing system. When sewage starting backing up into the driveway after a recent snowstorm, we also found out that our driveway drainage system isn't actually one--the prior owner had avoided putting in drainage by jury-rigging a line into our sewer clean-out, and it'd probably been backing up with leaves, etc for a long time. I requested service online on a holiday and Roto-Rooter was really fast to respond. All of the techs were patient with our old house and labyrinthine plumbing system. Thank you to Jimmy, who came out first (holiday afternoon) and helped me look for the clean-out, digging around in our yard for an hour free of charge. Then Jason came and figured out that our drainage pipe actually was a clean-out. Still no charge yet. Ruben followed up with another visit the same day--really nice and helpful guy. Estimate at this point was over $500 for the work, which sucked but seemed fair in my past experience with plumbers, considering the crappy system and years of backup we were dealing with. Finally, early the next day Paul and Cisco showed up, were here for an efficient hour, and got us all squared away for significantly under estimate. Thank you so much to all of you guys--you were quick, knowledgeable, honest, and professional. Will definitely be using ABQ Roto-Rooter again (hopefully not too soon).

Had a great experience with this provider. They were on site within minutes not hours. Took care of the problem and fixed. It was so season that they don't up charge any fees up to 10pm. Staff and technicians are extremely friendly and helpful. Special thanks to technician Lucus and office scheduler Nicky for being so awesome. I highly recommend this location.

You would think that any service provider with the right tools and knowledge could fix sewer problems; however, oftentimes the missing ingredient is a dedicated professional. Working within Roto Rooter, DAVID GARCIA is the magic that made it all work.
After accepting a contract to sell my home, multiple major plumbing issues came to light and I needed to get them all resolved asap. I couldn't even get other companies to call me back! David arrived the same day as my original request, assessed the situation and gave me the expected cost and timeline. While the cost was insane, the job was all done and completed not just on time, but early.
David handled every detail -- the city permits, talking with the impacted elementary school, even setting up/taking down roadblocks when the city didn't show. He really went the extra mile. And, he even did this without necessitating after-hours (i.e., $$$$$$) work!
One poignant example of his dedication was when the street cut asphalt was poured and needed to cool... despite the orange barrels and ""road closed"" signs, people kept driving thru, so David stayed late and parked his van at the site and protected the spot from 4-7pm like a mother hen brooding on eggs. Also, when a sub-contractor (for the venting) didn't show, David took on the job himself and completed it fabulously!
As if all that wasn't enough, David went above and beyond to advise me on how to navigate the claim process with the authorities.
Truly, my only complaint is the very high cost which I think reflects Roto Rooter's business model more than David's skill, dedication and ability. Without his help, I am 100% confident that I would have not had the required repairs completed on time for the closing date. Thank you David!
