About

Since 2002 I had worked for a large commercial company in Houston. Just this last month I decided I needed something different and am now venturing out on my own. I am barely starting but I bring with me all my knowledge and experience to the table. I strive to perform at a high caliber with a focus on competitive pricing. I stand firmly behind the belief, the client is to be accommodated at all costs.

Albert's work ethic is definitely evident in his responsiveness and his obvious pride in his work. He was neat and very thorough. He cleaned up as he worked and he did not rush but did not waste time either. He had the perfect balance of efficiency mixed with quality assurance. At one point he needed a tool to make sure that there wasn't a gap between the toilet and the floor. He explained what he needed and why. He had it in his truck and hurried to get it to get the job done. As a side note...I might add that he did not take any personal calls while he was working. I thought that this is a quality lost on many workers hired through Thumbtack. My toilets are wonderful. They are installed properly and the required no extra work on my part. Meaning I didn't have to clean up behind Albert or make any adjustments. He boxed up the old toilets for me and moved them outside to be picked up with heavy trash this Wednesday. His prices are extremely low for the quality of work that he performs. For this reason I gave him extra. Not quite what he deserved but what I had on me. Also, if I could give him a 10 star rating I would. He is punctual even when he is hired last minute. I hired him this morning at about 7 am when I realized I would be home with my son who was staying home because he was sick. Given that I would be home with my son, I took a chance and asked if he could come and install the toilets at 9:30 am today. He responded and showed up on time with very little notice. My advice to anyone who needs plumbing...hire him now because his prices will surely go up once his name is out there for his professionalism and quality of work. I have already hired him for two other jobs. One of them is to install a new kitchen sink and the other is to install my bathroom sink faucet. Also, he stated that it would take an hour per toilet and he finished each toilet a few minutes under an hour. He knows his work and he doesn't try to hustle you for more money or more work to get more money. See my pictures of my two toilets.

Details: Replacement; there is an existing toilet (which needs to be replaced). • 2 toilets

Albert set to work changing out garbage disposal unit this morning with exact precision, rearranging my under cabinet better than that which he first found. It now works perfectly and powerfully. Work was done swiftly, carefully, cleanly, and Albert himself is a pleasure to converse with. Next, a shower head unit was installed with pet hose attachment, which Albert showed me how to operate. Raining outside, though this is a garage bathroom, he made sure to wipe down any boot marks. For any contractor I have had at my home, he earns highest marks in professionalism & cleanliness. Lastly, though falling outside the scope of a plumber's duties, Albert was kind enough to expediently put together a patio furniture set which had stalled at the ratcheting of screws phase. My dogs and I now have a comfy spot in the sun to lounge when this rain halts. I plan to use Albert again both to drain the waste pipe from the kitchen as well as to install a home water filtration system, which he scoped out the scene to make sure we have the best installed.

Albert is amazing. His work was professional and well done. He cleaned up his mess perfectly, and he was on time down to the minute. He was quick to respond to my request for quote and questions my general contractor had. His pricing is quite well in line with other plumbers like himself that have twenty years' experience. You will not be disappointed if you hire Albert Vega.
