Report
I needed a new water heater installed and called 3 different businesses, asking for quotes. Other companies charged a fee just to come out to be able to give me an estimate at all. American Plumbing gave me a quote over the phone ($1,295 for a 40 gallon tank), didn't charge for an estimate, came out the next day to take measurements, and I had my new tank installed the day after that for the exact price quoted-no hidden fees. Don and Damian installed my new heater- they were professional, courteous, and fast. I highly recommend you use American Plumbing if you live in the Westlake area!

American Plumbing was excellent for the project I had. Cory gave a quick and accurate estimate and the office arranged the time for him to come back to do the work. He was efficient, professional, and did excellent work, including clean up. The price was far more reasonable than other plumbing companies I checked with. I will gladly call them back for the next job.

They have become unresponsive and unreliable. We used them exclusively for a half-dozen jobs over five years. However, I called them in late January and asked that the plumber who services our condo project give me a call. I never got a call back, but was able to resolve my issue on my own. I called again last Monday to schedule a toilet install, but wanted to get some input on the specs of the proposed toilet I wanted to purchase. I didn't get a call back, so I called AGAIN on Friday. No call back. I'm done.

Easily the best experience I have had with any home repair/improvement vendor! I can't recommend American Plumbing enough - they were so professional, arrived early, installed a new water heater and repaired a toilet in less than an hour at a very reasonable rate. American Plumbing will be our go to from now on! Services: Water heater installation, Toilet repair

This company is AWESOME, during a challenging kitchen reno, the scheduled plumber cancelled the day before the appliances we to be reinstalled. (6 weeks w/no appliances). I was desperate and American came that evening, looked at the job, and sent over Damian the next day to do the work. Prompt, tidy, friendly, competent, RELIABLE! I am so happy to have found them! I highly recommend! He could have charged me an arm and a leg, as I never confirmed a price, but he was very fair! It was a refreshing surprise!
