AnJ plumbing
After seeing Jens List member refer them over and over, I called them last week to fix a leak outside. I have to say they were terrific! Even if you don’t need a plumber right now, SAVE THIS INFO…you never know when it will come in handy. Here are the other reviews I have rec’d in the past:
Referred by Jens List member ninasavelle@aol.com – after finding them on Jens List!
“They were AWESOME. They arrived on time, were thorough, explained everything and were reasonably priced. I really appreciate being able to call a new plumber with confidence.”
and also jiran.saevitzon@yahoo.com – after finding them on Jens List!
“After seeing their post on your list I called them up to fix my kitchen faucet which had a leak. I had also called another company who had just left my house and quoted me $570 to replace the inner tube of the faucet. A n J came out right away within 30 minutes of my call to them and replaced the tube for $85. I can’t thank them and you enough. I am now a huge fan and I hope everyone uses them in the future.”
And also knmaddy@pacbell.net
“I had them out yesterday. Jose and Miguel took care of all my plumbing needs. They even waited for my husband to run out and get a part needed with out charging for time. They were so reasonably priced. I’m so glad you referred them to me. Thank you sooo much. By the way, I called 5 different plumbers before I decided. So glad I went with AnJ.”
