"This customer would like us to be YouTube. He doesn't want to pay for services. He wants us to show him how to fix his plumbing repeatedly for the same $60 service fee. He declined to have work done by us, did it himself and he is unhappy with the result. He has now resorted to complaining on any platform he can find."
"Thank you for the amazing review! We are so happy we could help, and we'll be here next time you have any plumbing needs!"

Because it's located in the attic, I hoped a repair would be possible, but Chris pointed out that the tank was 12 year old, and the leak was the tank itself, not the seal where the heater passes into the tank. So replacement was the only option.
He quoted a standard $1250 all-inclusive price for a 50-gallon Rehm water heater, and did not try to upsell me. (Lex;s plumbers don't work on commission, as some others do.) But I inquired about anode rods, warranty, etc, and he offered a second anode rod, which extends the warranty, for $300 extra, and we decided to do that, as we have low quality well water.
Lex's offers a 10% discount to Seniors, and that made the bill $1395.
The standard tank has a 6-year warranty, and the second anode rod extends that to 10 years. Lex's Plumbing ccovers the installation for the same period, so in case of a problem during the tank and labor are both covered.
Chris and his apprentice carried the old tank out of the attic and the new one back in with no damage, and did a neat professional installation. They cleaned up well afterward, and were careful of the bathtub while draining the old tank into it.
They were polite and respectful, and stayed to answer some questions about a future plumbing job.
I must note that I called 3 plumbers for verbal quotes and I received 3 very different quotes/answers. Lex's Plumbing asked the most questions at the time of the call and was able to provide the best quote. $150 for re-seating the toilet. This included a new wax ring and any other hardware. They said no charge for checking CSST, finding the water shutoff valve and replacing the shower head. Company 1 (large plumbing company) quoted $200 for toilet $50 for shower head and $50 for CSST inspection. Company 2 a smaller company said they could not provide a reliable quote online and for a $50 service fee the Plumber could quote me onsite. If i chose to use them the $50 would be credited towards the work.
Once at my house they checked the toilet and verified it was fine and only needed a toilet shim to resolve the loose bowl along with a bolt tightening. As noted above they could not remove the dog washing valve from the shower head so he provided a spare he had on his truck at no cost (Company 1 said if they had to provide a head it would cost $100 not $50). He then proceeded to complete all other work and walk me through what he saw. At the end he provided a detailed work order/receipt clearly documenting work done or inspected as it related to they Buyers Inspection/Repair request.
To my delight and surprise the total bill came out to $89 not $150.
Robert came out initially and he was informative, honest and gave me a high level of confidence in their work. They were able to come back a few days later and make the repair. The repair took about 1/2 day and we were good to go. I would use them again!
