They re-piped the hot and cold water lines in our single story home built around 1992 (1 kitchen, 2 baths, and 3 outside hose connections), replaced 2 shower valves and water heater, and pulled the permit with City of Melbourne, FL. We were in a bit of a bind when we discovered our third, copper pipe slab leak just before Christmas. It was on the hot side after the water heater. We were lucky in that we could cut off the hot water heater supply line to minimize the leakage so we could shower and do dishes each night, which bought us the time needed to get estimates and schedule the job. We obtained 3 estimates. Space Coast Plumbing ended up being the middle in terms of cost. The estimate was thorough—the owner went up in the attic and looked everything over carefully before giving a price. He also stuck to the prices he told us when the job was done. They came when they said they would. They started one day during the week of Christmas, cutting out the drywall to prepare for the actual re-pipe. They came the following week to do the re-pipe. In all it took between 3 and 4 days, which was what they told us it would take, and this was pretty typical based on the estimates we got. They took reasonable steps to contain the mess that is inherent with this type of work, and cleaned up after themselves each day. They hauled away all debris. They coordinated things so my family was not left without running water overnight, and set things up so the city inspection could be done with minimal disruption to our daily life, which was also greatly appreciated. While the walls were opened up, we had them replace both shower valves. It was also time to retire the water heater, so we upgraded to a 50 gallon unit. They installed Uponor AquaPEX, which they were trained and certified to install, and had the proper (specialized) tools. They took rolls of this pipe into the attic so they could make long runs without any joints between the 2 ends of the house. Fewer joints = lower risk of something going wrong (and less pressure drop). They insulated the hot and cold lines in the attic. At this writing, there is a 25 year warranty (10 years damage warranty). Space Coast Plumbing also gives a 1 year warranty on their workmanship. Jake, the owner, said this was the same pipe he used to re-pipe his own house, and it’s what he recommends to his customers. Space Coast Plumbing saw that we had an older style of water pipe going to our refrigerator (that was prone to leaking) and replaced that as part of the job. In general, they seemed to try to use the best in terms of parts and materials. It really felt like they were doing the work as if it was their own home they were re-piping. Overall we found Space Coast Plumbing very responsive, flexible, and cooperative, which was greatly appreciated given our situation and the holiday timing. I should mention that the drywall repair folks were able to re-use much of the drywall Space Coast Plumbing cut out. In other words, when Space Coast Plumbing cut out the drywall, they intentionally did it in a way that made it quicker/easier to repair later. To be sure, the dry wall repair was not part of the Space Coast Plumbing re-pipe. We had to hire a separate company for that (which Space Coast Plumbing was very clear about up front). This is typical for this type of plumbing job. For reference, the drywall work (including re-painting) cost around $1000 (don’t forget this piece of the job if you have to re-pipe your home). This review was written around 2 weeks after they finished the re-pipe. Weve not seen any leaks, water pressure is good, and so far, everything seems pretty much back to normal. The 50 gallon water heater hasnt run out of hot water yet, which is a plus over that older, 40 gallon unit we used to have.

We were so impressed with Jake (owner). They were prompt--came at the time they said they would--and easily diagnosed and fixed our problem of a clogged washing machine drain pipe. My husband discussed other work that we wanted to get done in the future, and Jake struck my husband as being knowledgeable as well as keeping up on the new technology, such as toilets and just *how* they can flush effectively when their water tank is smaller. My husband used to do all his home repairs so hes knowledgeable about plumbing, and was very happy with Jakes experience and capabilities. We will most definitely be calling him for future work, and highly recommend him.

Jake is the best plumber I have ever met, no exaggeration. I have relied upon him for both small jobs (water heater replacement, bath remodel, etc) and large jobs (complete re-plumbing of multiple condominium units). He holds himself to the highest quality standards, and always exceeds those standards. I have recommended him to several friends and coworkers, and every one of them have thanked me for the recommendation. With Space Coast, Im happy to be able to tell friends "I have a *great* plumber, give him a call."

We have been using Space Coast Plumbing for years and are totally satisfied with their excellent service! Today after taking my son to register for school, we came home to find the new hot water heater was a bad one and the water was draining out. I called my husband who called Jake and thank God he was in the area! He came by, shut it down and hooked up the hose to drain it then back this afternoon to replace it! Not only is Jake a great plumber, but a great person and consider him a friend! Thank you Jake!

Space Coast Plumbing was the right choice. Jake showed up when he said he would and completed the job in a quick and professional manner. He quoted a reasonable price and did not try and sell me anything I didnt need. The whole time he was working on my problem he explained the process of fixing it. I will definitely be calling on him in my plumbing time of need and referring Space Coast Plumbing to my friends a family.

Space Coast Plumbing helped resolve my sewer blockage by discovering that AT&T had pierced my lateral sewer line when installing fiber optic cables in my neighborhood. This meant that AT&T would be 100% responsible for the cost of repairs! I would highly recommend Space Coast Plumbing to anyone looking for fast, professional, and thorough plumbing services. Thanks again for all your help!

Space Coast Plumbing is by far the best local plumber! I know that the first and main concern anyone has when hiring a local tradesman is TRUST - do they know what they are doing and are they honest and trustworthy. I have personally known the owner of Space Coast Plumbing for 30 years. He is as honest as they come! And an EXCELLENT plumber.
