Vanguard was very professional and did had a great system for intake. They did a great job replacing the spout to my shower. It looks like it was always there. They choose hardware that matches the rest of the shower really well too. I would definitely call them again.

“We have been using Vanguard for over a decade.”
We have been using Vanguard for over a decade! Jan is amazing, he and his guys always do a great job, explain everything as they go, and answer all our questions. They treat you like family, we love them, and will continue to use them. This time they corrected two blockages, but they have also repaired our check valve, replaced our water heater, and done several smaller projects over the years

“I’ve used Vanguard Plumbing, led by Jan, for several years across different homes.”
I’ve used Vanguard Plumbing, led by Jan, for several years across different homes. The work has ranged from basic repairs on toilets and faucets to more complex jobs like locating a sewer line, replacing sump pumps, and fixing incorrectly installed fixtures. Jan is thorough, professional, and communicates clearly about the problems he finds and the solutions he recommends. Compared to other plumbers I’ve worked with, Jan is more careful and respectful about keeping work areas tidy. I’ve never had any issues after his repairs or installations. Vanguard Plumbing has consistently provided reliable, high-quality work, and Jan remains my first choice for plumbing needs.

“We had Jan replace an old outdoor spigot with a new freezeproof one with shutoff valve.”
We had Jan replace an old outdoor spigot with a new freezeproof one with shutoff valve. Working with Jan was great - he's a clear communicator, scheduling was easy, and the work was very professional. He also took the time to answer in detail my questions about other aspects of our home's plumbing system. Pricing was consistent with other quotes we received. He's the first person I'll call for future plumbing work.

“Jan is prompt, professional, and trustworthy.”
Jan is prompt, professional, and trustworthy. He gave me a clear and detailed estimate so I knew exactly what I was getting into. He was able to come over soon after I contacted him and did A+ work and that ended up costing me significantly less than he'd estimated. You can't go wrong with Jan!

Great service! We had a long task list of things that needed to get done in our house and Jan was an absolute machine! He was very friendly, professional and took the time to explain everything he was encountering as he did tasks. Somehow he was able to still accomplish it all in one day! Definitely will be calling on their services again and recommend Jan 100%.

Vanguard was very professional, with excellent communication both before and after the appointment. They resolved the leak we originally called about and even took care of an additional kitchen sink issue that wasn’t part of the original scope. We really appreciated their thoroughness and willingness to go the extra mile. Highly recommend!

“Jan demonstrated a high level of professionalism in replacing my water heater.”
Jan demonstrated a high level of professionalism in replacing my water heater. He promptly addressed my inquiries regarding the process and cost of the replacement. During his time at my residence, he worked efficiently, cleaned up thoroughly, and made additional improvements to the heating system and piping to ensure compliance with regulations. Upon completion, Jan took the time to explain how to turn off the water, addressed potential issues, and reviewed the warranty details.
