"Very reasonable quote, great job with a father-son team. They did an excellent job installing my new water heater. Close attention to detail. No issues, no hassles, happy consumer! Compared to some other bait and switch contractors that quoted 2-3 times the price, Maverick was a blessing. Thanks a lot Maverick."

"I hired Franco to help me assess moving my Gas and Water Meter as city of Palo Alto said there is a potential hazard. What the City of PA wanted is to create a hole in the outer wall and ask a plumber to extend the pipe to outside so that they (City) can move the Gas and Water meter unit to outside (to be safe with Gas Leakage) and build 3 poles around it so cars in the driveway do not hit it. It would have made the whole house look ugly with this idea. Franco came, assessed the situation and within minutes made suggestions that would obviate the need to move the meter outside. I did exactly as Franco said and it passed the inspection without much cost and an ugly looking structure hanging outside near the driveway. Frnaco is bright, smart, selfless and sincere. He did not care about his cost but wanted to make sure we are taken care off. This is a very high value thoughtfulness to a customer"
