You already got a water heater quote you don't trust.
Call Thomas. Fixed-price quote over the phone in under 30 minutes — or $50 comes off your install.
Something about the quote isn't sitting right.
The plumber who came out quoted you close to five grand. They listed a half-dozen repairs you have never heard of. They wouldn't break the line items out. When you asked for the numbers in writing, they got weird about it.
You know this feeling. You have felt it before, maybe with a mechanic, maybe with a contractor. That slow tightening in your chest when you realize you might be the mark.
You don't need another pitch. You need someone to look at the other guy's quote and tell you, honestly, whether any of it is real.
That's what we do.
We pulled the old one before lunch.
The new one was running by 4.
That's an old A.O. Smith we took out. The new one is a Bradford White. Earthquake-strapped, expansion tank on top, drip pan underneath in case it ever leaks. Same garage, same day.
We walked the homeowner through the warranty and hauled the old tank back to the shop when we left.
The Honest Hot Water Install
Hot water back today. Every safety item done right. A price that won't change after we start.
If anything we installed fails from our workmanship inside 24 months, we come back, fix it, and haul the parts. No charge. No argument. That's on top of the Bradford White manufacturer warranty.
Cold water now. Hot shower tonight.
Show us the other quote. We'll tell you what's real.
If a California-licensed plumber has already quoted you in the last seven days, call us and have the quote in front of you.
We go through it line by line. If the scope is padded or the price is off, we tell you what to cut and why.
There are cheaper plumbers in OC. We know that. We just do better work.
Meet Thomas. He built this from one truck.
Thomas started this shop in 2007 with one rule: treat the customer's house the way you would want someone to treat yours. Tell them the truth about what they actually need.
Nineteen years later, the team is three people. Thomas, Daniel, and Tiara, who handles the phones. Every quote and every install over $1,500 goes through Thomas before the job closes.
This is who you hire when you hire Plumb Guild. Not a dispatcher. Not a call center. An owner with his name on the license.
"One rule, from day one: do work you can stand behind.
Call me and I will tell you what you actually need. If another plumber quoted you too much, I will tell you that too.
That's the deal."
Serving all of Orange County.
We're based on Kraemer Boulevard in Anaheim. Anywhere in OC, we can come to you. Outside OC, call us anyway — we'll point you to someone local we trust.
The questions people ask before they call.
Standard 40-gallon Bradford White gas tanks start at $3,429.99 installed. That covers the unit, supply lines, gas valve, gas flex, sediment trap, labor, and haul-away. Tankless starts at $5,349.99. Call (714) 670-7594 for a fixed price over the phone in under 30 minutes.
Yes, if you call before 11am. We hold three same-day slots per day. Call after 11am and we're out first thing next morning.
Call us and have the quote in front of you. We'll go through it line by line and tell you whether the scope is real or padded. No obligation to hire us.
Most homes in North OC are fine with a tank. Tankless makes sense if you have a big family or you're already doing a remodel. We tell you which one makes sense on the call. If you go tankless, you may qualify for up to $1,500 back through SoCal Gas.
Bradford White comes with a 6-year manufacturer warranty standard. We can upgrade that to 10 years. We also give you a 2-year labor warranty on our work.
Yes. Permit fees vary by city and are included in your quote.
Credit card, debit, check, or Venmo. 80% when the install is done, 20% when the city inspection passes. No deposit upfront.
It doesn't. The number we quote you is fixed. If we hit something genuinely unexpected mid-job, we stop, walk you through it, and hand you a written change order.
