Jan is prompt, professional, and trustworthy. He gave me a clear and detailed estimate so I knew exactly what I was getting into. He was able to come over soon after I contacted him and did A+ work and that ended up costing me significantly less than he'd estimated. You can't go wrong with Jan!

Great service! We had a long task list of things that needed to get done in our house and Jan was an absolute machine! He was very friendly, professional and took the time to explain everything he was encountering as he did tasks. Somehow he was able to still accomplish it all in one day! Definitely will be calling on their services again and recommend Jan 100%.

Vanguard was very professional, with excellent communication both before and after the appointment. They resolved the leak we originally called about and even took care of an additional kitchen sink issue that wasn’t part of the original scope. We really appreciated their thoroughness and willingness to go the extra mile. Highly recommend!

Jan did a great job of quickly diagnosing the issues, explaining the available options, fixing them, and offering advice on how to prevent issues in the future. Vanguard's services are somewhat pricey (there's an hourly charge), but if you have serious concerns about any plumbing issues, they are responsible and effective and leave you with peace of mind.

Jan at Vanguard Plumbing was great in resolving my issues with the heat of the water in my shower. He was on top and up front with expectations of the condo super, explained what he was doing step-by-step, and noted ,without upsell, the limitations of the existing systems in the condo building. He resolved my issues, despite the issues beyond my unit, in an efficient job call and for the price quoted.

Five stars all the way… I called Vanguard for an estimate on some work in my kitchen and bathroom, and was able to get a free estimate by sending photos which was extremely convenient. I decided to get a second estimate with a competitor but the competitor required an in-person visit and gave a higher estimate. (I was in a hurry and gave the competitor one job same day, but now I wish I had used Vanguard for everything.) Vanguard replaced two faucets including the valves and pipes, fixed my dripping shower, and replaced an additional valve. Jan was very patient and helpful through several emails and phone calls where he explained the work that was needed, he made recommendations, I asked for advice on faucet brands, etc. The day of the job Jan called in advance, was on time, was extremely professional, did a perfect job, and even showed me how to replace an additional part myself if I want to. The final bill matched the estimate as well, I highly recommend Jan and Vanguard!

I've been calling on Vanguard over a number of years now for any plumbing needs in my condo or for our condo building. If you want a job done properly and without taking shortcuts, call Vanguard. Most recently, Jan came out and replaced my hot water heater. The unit had to fit in a narrow space and the gas pipes were in the way. He finished the job in the time and for the cost he quoted. And he was able to fit me into his schedule quickly because he knew I had been without hot water for about a week. Vanguard shows up on time and they are very professional. They explain the work they are going to complete and then they follow through and do it. I will continue to call on them for my plumbing needs.

I got quotes from several places which were significantly cheaper but I will say Jan and his team were worth the price. No one had any idea how to fix my model of toilet (we had an issue with constant water running, and the tank was built into the wall, European style), but Jan looked and knew immediately what was wrong. Within a few hours everything was back to running perfectly. He even found a weakened water line which saved us paying tons of expenses in damages should it have leaked. We would definitely reach out again in the future, they were very professional, communicated clearly and upfront, and did an outstanding job.

The technician from Vanguard accomplished the task exactly as requested. He carefully asked about our previous phone conversations to make sure it was done correctly. In the end, they charged us $150 less than the original estimate!

I was very pleased with the work that Vanguard did in my condo and will certainly call them again for any needed work. Jan was very helpful in scheduling the work and making sure I had the necessary Certificate of Insurance for our management company. George was on-time and went right to work. He fixed my dripping shower faucet (and the faucet handle that kept falling off), installed a new shower head (been meaning to do that) and restored the hot water pressure for my bathroom sink faucet. Any sort of work that requires a water shutoff for our multi-unit building always worries me—it can (and often does) result in sediment clogging feed lines (and pipes!). Realizing that I was very concerned about the water shutoff, George was very reassuring. He explained how he was going to proceed to went through each step of the shut down and water restoration with me. Absolutely beautiful!

I cannot recommend Vanguard Plumbing enough for their exceptional service. Jan and George were incredibly professional and knowledgeable, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Our ejector pump was malfunctioning, causing a major inconvenience. Vanguard Plumbing responded promptly to our call and assessed the situation thoroughly. They explained the issue in detail and provided a clear estimate of the work needed. During the repair, George worked efficiently and effectively, ensuring that everything was done to the highest standard. They were respectful of our home, keeping the work area clean and tidy throughout. Thanks to Vanguard Plumbing, we have a new ejector pump that is now working perfectly. I'm impressed by their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction. If you're in need of plumbing services, look no further than Vanguard Plumbing.

Jan was very professional. He communicated promptly by both email and phone. He arrived right on time. He was familiar with the old-style drain in our house and knew how to clean it. He did what was needed, and it now empties perfectly (it was utterly clogged).
