Floor of the shower does not slope properly and consequently the shower does not drain well. Also "highly recommended" a general contractor to do the rest of the bathroom remodel since they only the did the plumbing part. Never again! They were the worst. Think Alvarez must get a kickback from the GC. Wish we had gone someone else who can do the entire remodel from start to finish.
Description of Work: Put in walk in shower where tub used to be.

Description of Work: We have used Alvarez for 5 or 6 years. They replaced our old terracotta drain line. This last visit they replace some hose bibs and a sink faucet. The office and technicians have always been great. They are a very good company to deal with.

Jody was our contact person and he did a great job in communicating with us and coordinating the crews. We renovated 2 bathrooms as part of a major house renovation. They worked with us to make sure the staging of the demolition and installation of the new bathroom fixtures coordinated with the other work being done in the rooms. During the course of the house renovation we learned we had a flow issue with our sewage. Jody was able to provide us with a quote and perform the work quickly so it did not impact us and our routines.
Description of Work: Replaced the sewer line from the house to the street. Removed and replaced toilets, sinks, shower hardware and new tub on master & guest bath renovations.

Excellent work! They did what they said they were going to do and then some. They installed c-pvc pipes, tied them down, and insulated them. They were neat, on time, and on price. I would recommend them to anyone.

The plumber called in route and got there about 45 minutes later as he was driving from about 30 miles away. My husband had stopped by earlier to lift up the bricks where the leak was, so the plumber had easy access to the leak. Plumber determined that the line had been crimped by a cinder block when we built the addition 18 yrs. ago and had eventually succumbed to rust at the bend. He was able to knock out enough block to do the work, but not so much that it was visible above the paver brick, which was nice. I think there was some soldering involved and he was out within an hour-and-a-half. The bill came to $181 which I think broke down to $80/hr plus $60 to come to site.
Description of Work: It was Saturday and we received a call from out tenants about a leak under the pavers next to the house, also near the pool. Upon further inspection we determined it was hot water from the hot water line, under the bricks, not water from/into the pool. I called my usual plumber but only got a msg. since it was Saturday. I looked on Angie's and determined Alvarez was in the vicinity. I called, they said they could be out immediately, that they would add an extra charge for Sat. onto their regular rate, but it was still a good price and so I booked them to do the work.

my advise is to call the plumber first before knocking holes in yout walls. I was headed with my hammer to the bathroom tile when I stopped and called Alvarez. Thank goodness
Description of Work: I had a leak in the copper pipe behind the wall. I thought at first to try and fix it myself. but after knocking a hole big enought to have a bear crawl thru. Not finding the leak I called Alvarez Plumbing. One hour later I'm Talking to Steve Boynton from Alvarez. After giving me my options and I had already checked angies list to see prices for plumbing repipe. I decided to replumb the whole house 02/04/09. 5 pm Friday 02/06/09 Manuel and his 2 man crew was cleaning up. I stayed with them on Thursday not wanting to leave my house alone. after seeing their workmanship and meeting the guys . I left them in my house alone on Friday so I could go back to work. They went beyond the work to even add extra faucets where I needed some out side for my yard. needless to say I was pleased with them and would use them again

We needed a hose bib for our backyard as we are installing a pool and there was no connection in our backyard. We had also been having a lot of clogging in our two downstairs toilets. Also, one of our master bathroom sinks had the stopper break. Steve came out and gave an estimate on the hose bib while I was out. He was not able to give an estimate on the inside work. After having another plumber come out and give an estimate on all the work, I called Alvarez back and got quotes over the phone. I was told at that time the quote might increase if the stoppage was "bad." Apparently, getting on top of the roof increased the price a bit as they had to go down a 75 ft. stack. Overall, I was impressed with the two guys that came out to do the work. They were polite, professional, and courteous of my interior(they put on booties every time they came indoors). The price did partly increase because of the replacement of the fill valve in the toilet.
Description of Work: Ran PVC for a hose bib, unclogged partial stoppage in 2 toilets, installed fill valve in master bedroom toilet, & pop up assembly in master bathroom sink.

They were very good. They did a good job. It wasn't a perfect experience but they corrected their problems. They were very punctual. It took a lot longer than we both thought. More evasive steps had to be taken. It was a lot of work. They covered the job properly. Overall they did good work.
Description of Work: They re-piped my entire house for me.

I thought about tackling these problems myself, but decided to stick with my policy of no-plumbing-no-electrical. So I called Alvarez Plumbing this morning. To my surprise, they were able to schedule the service for today. The plumber arrived on time. He was very professional (handshake, business card, booties to cover shoes while working inside). He assessed the problems, gave me an estimate, I agreed to the work, then he started fixing things. The only question was what he would find when he took apart the kitchen faucet. As it turned out, the problem simply required removing some calcium deposits and oiling all the parts of the faucet. The tub was also a simple fix (tighten up several places, re-caulk). The plumber was done in two hours. Very easy. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Two plumbing projects: (1) loose tub spout, didn't switch to shower easily anymore. (2) loose kitchen faucet (twisting at base), hose for pull-out faucet stuck on something inside.

Overall, it went well. Plumber arrived on time, was professional, and did work in allotted time. Older condo was a bit tricky, so required solid knowledge and experience. Fixture did leak, though a call to Alvarez brought a plumber on site that evening to fix...it was a "bad" fixture and I do not hold this against them. Everyone I spoke to or worked with at the company was very professional and responsive.
Description of Work: Installed new fixtures in older condo bathtub/shower bathroom. I opened wall, their plumber performed the work, requiring about 2-3 hours to install new drain, pipe, faucet and showerhead.

The moment the salesmen (note not plumber) came to my home. He had spoke of how he just finished his 2nd replacement of a toilet. He had not even made it to our bathroom and he was speaking how I should expect to get it replaced. He then spoke of how bad builders toilets aways are. He then try to sell me a $600 new bowel and he can do it now. Then he tried to sell me a plan if there was a problem with the new toilet. Now that is service.
Description of Work: This is a late report. I called them I'm June 07. I had a slow toilet.

Alvarez Plumbing responded to an emergency call after hours for us. Our back-flow device for our well was run over and water was pouring out onto the street. Alvarez sent a plumber (unfortunately I don't recall the gentleman's name) within 20 minutes and the repair was completed. The plumber was extremely nice and understanding. Although we were charged after-hour fees, we were pleased they were able to respond so quickly.
Description of Work: The plumber with Alvarez plumbing replaced a back-flow device required by the county when a well is installed. The device was run over by a vehicle and destroyed. The plumber installed a new back-flow after hours for us.

EXCELLENT! PUNCTUAL, FAST, PROFESSIONAL. EXTREMELY COURTEOUS AND CONSIDERATE. CLEANED UP VERY THOROUGHLY AFTER THE JOB. THEY MADE SURE WE HAD WATER EVERY EVENING (A THREE-DAY JOB). DEFINITELY WOULD USE THEM AGAIN AND STRONGLY RECOMMEND THEM TO OTHERS. THE PRICE WAS HIGHER THAN OTHER ESTIMATES, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. P.S. WE RE-HIRED THEM FOR A SMALL ADDITIONAL JOB AND THE ONLY MINOR COMPLAINT - WE WERE NOT TOLD THEY CHARGE FOR TRAVEL TIME. STILL, DID A GREAT JOB.
