An actual good plumber...
In the process of moving, SW Gas said they couldn't turn on the water heater in our new place due to a bad install and potential CO leak. Calling plumbers, we came across a bunch that made you feel as if you should be grateful to do business with them... on their lazy schedule... and with the privilege of paying them just to visit the West Valley. And boy, could they sell you a bnch of other things you "need".
Finally Yelp'd it and we found Freddy's Plumbing. George came out in the morning, fixed the issues in a few hours, and cleaned up haphazard venting/piping into the ceiling while he was at it. Things look textbook, now.
We were able to move in and have hot water. Price was in the range of the original estimate and was very reasonable. Couldn't ask for anything more...
