If I had known that Jan's copper plumbing was going to be so beautiful, I would have asked him to install it inside the room insted of inside the wall. I spoke to several companies about my project. Vanguard was the only one that found a balance between what I wanted and what my 130 year old house needed. Jan resolved the complicated venting and draining issues and created an elaborate system in my basement bathroom and kitchen which will be invisible and take up no space. Best of all, I didn't have to add another vent out the roof. Jan and his crew were funny, personable and very experienced. They earned my trust with the work they performed and the knowledge they shared. I'd have no trouble recommending them for any size job.

Jan is a rare find in a plumber - he is very detail oriented and can work on even the most complicated and unusual brands (I have a bunch of Sherle Wagner and he is the only plumber I have found who actually can work on these products). I highly recommend him.

Jan and George were fantastic. We needed our old water heater replaced. Due to the unusual layout of our utility room, the size of the old water heater, and the age of the existing piping, this was a complex project. Jan walked through a number of issues during the pre-bid stage to ensure that he was prepped for any and all potential complications with the project. Jan and George then completed the project thoroughly, professionally, and meticulously. They even spotted and repaired additional issues with the gas lines and ventilation and with two of our toilets. I would absolutely hire them again should the need arise.

The bathtub faucets in my bathroom were broken around two months ago, and then I called Vanguard Plumbing and Sewer again to help me to fix it. Jan helped me to set up this project immediately, get a new faucet, and send their plumber to my condo. Their plumber helped to remove the broken one and install the new one very fast. I expected that this project would be finished in one hour. Their plumber finished the project within one hour. I appreciate Vanguard helping me to fix this problem and I’d highly recommend their service.

I always contact Vanguard Plumbing when I want the job done right. Jan and his team are reliable and professional. They are also easy to work with. I will email Jan a picture of the problem, and he will usually get back to me with an estimate within the day. I have used them for about 6 jobs so far and every time I have been pleased. Not only are things fixed and working when they leave, they go above and beyond to make sure the job is done properly and to code. No "quick fix" or cutting corners. I also trust them to work my home when I am not there. I have had them repair sewer pipes, bathroom sinks, showers faucets, kitchen faucets, as well as install water filtration systems. I know that whenever I am hiring Jan, the money I spend is adding value in to our house because Vanguard's work will last.

My sump pump float switch quit working overnight when it was raining and I woke up to a stinky, flooded crawlspace. Jan had me go down and take some photos to make sure he would send me an accurate quote for the work and parts, and after I sent the photos he gave me a call back and walked me through a few steps I could take to see if I could get the pump working and drain the water out before they came out for the repair, instead of just sending someone out and charging me for all the time that would take. Best of all, his advice worked and after draining the flood I was actually able to understand how the system worked and replace the switch myself. I did receive the quote for the work Vanguard would have done and it was clear, professional, and extremely fair (especially considering the location and condition of my sump pit). I felt that I was treated with a great deal of respect and courtesy, which was such a pleasant surprise it actually turned around how negatively I was feeling about the flood etc. I will 100% call them again for any work I need.

Bravo to this company! We hired Vanguard to replace the outdoor spigot and install a new section of copper pipe. Unfortunately, the builder put access to everything behind the drywall. I started to bust the ceiling open and do it myself, but quickly discovered I needed a professional when I saw the builder also hadn't put in a shutoff valve. Yan was great. Easy and painless communication during the quote process. The day of the job, he arrived on time, and was very professional. Great explanations, patient demeanor, no unnecessary mess. He even cleaned up the messy hole I'd pounded into the ceiling. And most importantly, he did excellent work!

Jan's service and attention to customer relations was beyond my expectations!

Called Jan with my issue of my basement drain and shower backing up. His preliminary diagnosis was an ejector pump that needed replacement. He arrived on time on the scheduled day. When he opened up the ejector pit he found it was full of tree roots. He cleaned the pit, cleared the roots from the pipes, and installed a new ejector pump. Very skilled. Solved my issue on the first try. No longer have an issue with my basement toilet and basement shower drain backing up. Very happy with the services I received will use Vanguard Plumbing again for any future plumbing services.

I bought a 100 year old house with rusted, leaking kitchen piping, and these guys were able to fix the supply lines and entire kitchen stack within a couple of days and made sure I’ll have a functioning kitchen by the time I move in. They were very communicative and helpful through the whole process.

Yan and the team were awesome for our checklist of home plumbing issues. Everyone was kind, worked around our schedule, got in quickly, knew exactly what had to be done, came in under quote, and were quick to come back and make an adjustment when we needed it (our cheap toilet's fault, not theirs). They're going to be the first folks I reach out to when we inevitably need it.

We had some major plumbing work that had to be done in our basement and first floor bathroom. Vanguard plumbing was quick to respond to our request. It’s an old house and some of the vents pipes burst and the rest were old and rusty and had to be replaced. Jan was very thorough in explaining the whole project and transparent about the cost and their hourly rates. I would recommend Vanguard for any plumbing work.

Jan and his team have been fantastic to work with. Throughout our home renovation process we've worked with several contractors with varied experiences. I really appreciate how quickly Jan is to respond to every inquiry I've had, is always thoughtful and takes his time to explain what needs to be done and why. He's guided a lot of the decisions we've made from a plumbing perspective and gotten the work done quickly and for a reasonable rate. I'm relieved to know that any plumbing work we'll ever need to have done, I have a team I trust to get it done quickly and the right way the first time.
