My hot water heater was not working. As always, I called VHL. They've been my plumbers for about 6 years, and Manny always gets the job done right. I have never felt ripped off in any way. They always fix the problems, and the price is always fair. Vince and Manny understood exactly what would be needed to get us our hot water, and in record time they had the problem solved! They did this on a cold and windy day, too.
I can't thank Vince and Manny enough for always being there for us! With so many unreliable people out there, it's really great to know we have wonderful plumbers we can count on. Thank you!

SO happy with the service! VHL just came out to replace my toilet. And Manny came promptly. He was SOOOO professional! He was amazing. He cared about my floors and carpet, and laid down several heavy duty tarps. When he was finished, the bathroom was so tidy and looked wonderful. He took the time to explain and show how the new system in the toilet worked. Helped me with the warranty card making sure I have the model and serial number correct.
As a senior reading those tiny numbers is NOT easy. Again Manny really went the extra mile to help me. And I am most grateful. AND I highly recommend to ANYONE looking for a decent plumbing company to ask for this one. AND maybe you'll be lucky enough to get Manny to come to your home.respectfully, Shelley Hess Burbank CA 11/27/19 and note it's one day BEFORE Thanksgiving and my guests will be thrilled too!

I wanted to leave a review for this awesome company who worked on our plumbing for a bathroom remodel. The guys are all amazing, friendly and great workers. Beyond impressed with them. A few months later we had a leak in an old water heater and they came out immediately and replaced the water heater same day. The owner Vince could not be nicer.

Overcharged. Plumber started charging from the time they received the call even though it took them 90 minutes to arrive (and the call was to Burbank). This was my second and last time using them

This is yet another negative review regarding their lack of concern in keeping an appointment. I made an appointment to replace a toilet through the Burbank replacement program. My appt time was 12:00 - 2:00 pm. At 3:00 pm, I called and inquired. I was told the plumber had been held up at his prior appointment and would not make it to my house. Really? They missed the appointment and did not bother to call to let me know. It's difficult enough to be sure someone is home to let a plumber in but very frustrating when they don't have the courtesy to notify me they will be late, or not arrive at all. Looking at previous reviews, this seems to be a pattern. Very disappointing.
