I hired Alvco for a plumbing repair I highly highly recommend Alvco. This is a family owned and operated entity. Tim and his brother are superb at all aspects of the business from technical expertise, on time arrival, and genuine customer care. They did a water heater replacement for me same day. They did not charge me extra for the rapid response and they quadruple checked their installation to ensure every aspect of the job was correctly executed. I also asked Tim to change the dimension of my heater as the outgoing unit i felt was to big for the closet it was located inside of. He fully supported my request and and now the new unit looks perfect. Tim and his brother are exceptional. I will use them on all my plumbing jobs going forward.

My husband and I tried to locate the source of a foul smell coming from the sink in a guest bathroom on a Saturday morning and got ourselves in trouble and ended up with a leak. We were in a panic, as we had guests arriving Monday morning. We contacted Alvco Plumbing on the recommendation from our cousin who had given us their ad in the Villages newsletter. Tim, Jr. told us he could come by early Monday morning and assess our situation. He graciously called us later on Saturday afternoon and said he could swing by and help us out. He was AMAZING and did a thorough assessment of our plumbing issue, fixed our mistake and saved us a lot of headache. Throughout the process, he explained everything, gave us options, respected our home, was extremely clean, and thoroughly cleaned the work area when done. We are grateful to now have Alvco Plumbing listed in our contact list as our plumber and are working to have them to return to do additional work. There is a peace of mind when you can trust and rely on a contractor. Believe me - we just had a different plumber in our home two weeks prior who never returned to finish the job they started (unfortunately, we had already paid him for the job - lesson learned!)

I have hired this company three times ..(1) laundry room renovation, (2) removing a microwave and installing an over the stove ventilation fan hood (3) a home water filtration system. Let me expand on this.. I had a filtration system installed end of last year, it started leaking and the original plumber pretty much ignored me and my phone calls. I called Alvco for help. They promptly responded. Upon inspection of the system, I found out it had been installed incorrectly â ¦ Tim completely reconfigured it â ¦ copper pipes, shut off valves, bypass shut off valves and pressure release valves â ¦ not to mention replacing the leaky filter encasing. Every job they have done has been done way above my expectationsâ ¦ I will , honestly, never use anyone else, They are knowledgeable, efficient, prompt, friendly, great communicators and they listen . This company is second generation family owned since 1984. This shows love, respect, dedication, motivation and just overall family tradition, In my opinion, these are all very positiveâ ¦ running a business, or just living each day. Deb

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
