Report
They came out quick, and once giving me the news that my water heater needed to be replaced, gave me a quick estimate as well. They gave me time to get a few more estimates before I decided what route to take. They then quickly replaced my water heather. The service was fast and very pleasant. My service tech Matt even made friends with my dog! They gave me quotes before they did any work and kept me in the loop during the entire process. Would recommend & would use again.

I've known Pete & Vickie for over ten years and have had nothing but positive experiences with them and any plumbing tech they have had on one of my jobs. Pete has done work for both my company and a company that I previously worked for. I've seen Pete handle plumbing on million dollar commercial jobs all the way down to changing out a water heater & installing a bath tub. Sanders Plumbing deserves ten stars in my book.
