Called these guys with an emergency when a water heater flooded my condo in the evening. They confirmed they could make an appointment the next morning. Overnight they texted me that they were “canceling the appointment due to a scheduling change.” I can’t speak to the quality of the actual work they do, but I certainly wouldn’t depend on them in the case of an emergency. They might just decide they won’t be coming after all.
Nate J at BBP was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained our options and when he left I felt good because he actually made sense at when he explained things. My neighbor said that he had his plumbing done at Big Blue and was very happy with them.So I would definitely recommend this company.
When our old hot water heater died and couldn’t be fixed, we called Big Blue. Javier V. was really helpful with explaining our options, and we decided to upgrade to a Sanco2 heat pump system instead of gas. Javier and Pardo were knowledgeable, kind and precise with the install, and navigated challenges like where to put the heat pump behind our house and ordering special parts. They also work with a great electrician and facilitated that work. The whole job was done in two days! They made sure we didn’t have to go a weekend without hot water. I highly recommend going with Big Blue and their expert staff.
Enrique Luevanos, Technician with Big Blue installed our new thermal expansion tank. He was very professional, thorough and respectful during their entire process. The end result was great professional service by again, another great technician with Big Blue.
Harris Giotas, our Big Blue plumber, was incredible. He is a real credit to the industry. Not only was he able to replace our aging (and old) Glacier Bay fixtures without tearing out the entire wall, he discovered and repaired a unknown major leak under the toilette. We are truly indebted to Harris for his complete professionalism. He was prompt, efficient, and courteous. He is highly recommended for any plumbing problem or issue.
