What customers said about installation
Thank you Julio A. for doing a great job and working with me to get it done in a timely manner.
Best plumbing company I’ve used so far!! They were able to schedule me same day. Tobi did a great job installing our bathroom shut-off valves. He was very knowledgeable and polite. Will definitely hire them for future jobs.
Friendly and knowledgeable plumbing professionals helped us with all the items on our list and offered different solutions to some of the issues. The quote was discussed up front and the work is great. Will be using again.
Top-notch service all around. From the first call throught follow-up. After-hours urgent service needs were exceeded and job was fairly priced. Professional, polite, mindful technicians and operators. We are new residents of South Tampa, and are grateful to have found Alvarez Plumbing!
We are so thankful to have found Alvarez! They always see us in a timely manner, and have very good quality work. Even when water heaters were on back order, they were able to locate one for us and get it installed quickly. JT is always looking out for us!
We have been using Alvarez for our plumbing repair needs for about a year now. Each time we need them, they come right away! They work quickly but do a thorough job. The technicians are always super nice and informative; especially our technician Ted, who has worked at our business more then once and is always great to work with!

How we grade
Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.
Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
