Highly recommend!! Two days before Christmas my sewer line decided to back up. I emailed Spartan and their lovely administrator Stephanie called me immediately to schedule a same day appointment! My service window was between 12-4pm and Logan “Thomas” arrived at 12. He was incredibly thorough, explaining the possible causes and solutions. I was concerned that my large tree’s roots may be wreaking havoc on my sewer line and he put me at ease, informing me that they even had a “fix” for that! Logan did an exceptional job getting me up and running again, he answered all of my questions, and pointed out things I should look out for in the future. Definitely going to utilize Spartan for all my plumbing needs going forward!! Thank you!!
Jared and Nick went above and beyond for us today. Professional and friendly, not to mention funny. One of the most stress free plumbing visits I've ever had.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the service from Vaughn Pettinger! He walked me through everything he was doing and made all my options super clear. His expertise and care was comforting and I will be a regular Spartan customer from now on.
Buyer beware! This became a 6 week nightmare and the issue still is not resolved. Any quotes over $1000.00 , I highly recommend getting a second opinion.
I called to schedule a faucet replacement, and explained at that time the space was very small so they needed to send someone who could navigate that. The person they sent couldn't. Also, there were issues with the faucet I bought which things happen, but they dug in instead of just telling me it couldn't be done and they would need to come back when I got a different faucet. So now I am pretty sure I ended up with extra work being done because of that. Furthermore, when I called to say that things weren't going well and they wanted to have another plumber come out, I specifically say no and said I would be open to them calling me and they showed up at my door anyway. Then the following day when I asked for advanced warning for their arrival it came 30min after they got here. Finally they want payment by check which is never discussed at time of estimate, this is something that should be advertised upfront. I dont know how they have such good reviews but all around this was nothing but a disaster.
Absolutely top tier company to work with, honestly I have no idea why other companies do not work like they do. I asked for quotes on yelp, a bunch of companies respond with their phone numbers... cool story, i didn't need you phone number i needed a quote. They sent me an actual quote.... you know... what I was asking for, gave me a ball park range depending on what the issue was (I needed an exterior hose bib replaced, its not rocket science to bid or ball park that) and then walked me through my options and the different value ranges when they got here depending on what I wanted to do job wise. THAT is how you do business! They were super easy to work with, incredibly professional on site and actually got the job done quickly and efficiently without any shenanigans, rug pulls or price gouging. Absolute 10/10 to work with, this has definitely become my go-to plumber as I have had a ROUGH time finding someone in Colorado who doesn't jack up any plumbing job I let them touch. I am hoping that I wont have any other jobs for them (no offense but I like my plumbing staying working) but man its nice to have someone in my back pocket who I can trust to not be a pain in the rear.
Christian was phenomenal. He took time to explain what he was doing and help us understand it. He was patient with us and the work and clearly has pride in the work he does. We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to continue working with Spartan and Christian is no exception to that excellence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updating this review: I cannot speak highly enough about Spartan and the team. The care the Spartan team puts in to every single thing they do sets them apart. Every person we have worked with, from Sam to Christian to Miguel, have taken the care to hear our situation, present options, and have even remembered what my wife and I do for work, the names of our dogs, and the work they have previously done on the house. It's clear the Spartan team views every home with respect and not just a job, and that's not something you get from anyone else. We have used Spartan 6 times since we bought our home through both minor and major projects and they will be the only team we use going forward. Thank you to Sam, Christian, Miguel and the whole team!
Our 53-year-old house experiences wear and tear, and my biggest frustration is vendors who service my repair issues with algorithms instead of concise needs. With too many, someone with little to no trade experience shows up for your “free” inspection and pitches you and upsells, when all you want is a pro to evaluate the issue and tell you what it will take. I’d already cycled through three outfits and decided to give Spartan a call for some sump pump and main sewer drain work. The techs assessed the work—what was needed and what wasn’t—and gave an estimate, not a commission-paid algorithm. Jose, Zhayn, and John—showed up on time and ready for their parts of the work and completed it skillfully and without a lot of unnecessary conversation. I asked for options for future work, and they delivered more than one with no sales pressure. In times like ours, where everything is so expensive, it’s so nice to find a company who does business by selling the quality work they offer. And all these guys were pleasant, respectful of our home, and efficient and made trustworthy repair suggestions when the time comes.
My experience with Spartan Plumbing from start to finish was stellar. From the start, Spartan’s receptionist thoroughly and professionally explained all relevant details, including pricing, which in my case was one third the price of the first plumber I called. She also quickly got back to me multiple times whenever I had a question. My plumber, Vaughan Pettinger, and as equally professional and thorough. Vaughn explained all details thoroughly, got right to work, and fixed my very clogged toilet in less than 30 minutes. And he did all this well after 5pm on the Sunday before Memorial Day. I never imagined I would get anyone out on a holiday weekend, let alone so late on the Sunday before Memorial Day, but Vaughn showed up and was upbeat, helpful, and conscientious. I would highly recommend Spartan Plumbing to be the first and optimal choice to any of my friends and family in need of plumbing work.
Needed a new water heater, contacted Spartan after researching multiple companies online. I was given a same day appt, and the Technician actually arrived 2.5 hrs ahead of schedule (Spartan did call to confirm I was available early). Christian was knowledgeable, listened to what I wanted and didn't want, and didn't try to upsell me on a sytem I didn't need (ie tankless). He promised if I accepted the price with a same day discount he would get everything done that day - and he did. When he was all done the new Bradford White WH looked great, all the connections looked solid, and everything was clean (no mess left behind). He took the time with Abel, his assistant, to make sure all the air was out of all the lines, the water was coming out clean and the system was back to the proper pressure. I appreciate the time he took to make sure everything was right and clean before he left.
I truly cannot recommend Spartan Plumbing enough. Specifically Jeff, who went above and beyond to deliver great work at a fair price when we found ourselves in a tough spot. I’ll explain: While in the process of selling our house, we were alerted to a few issues, and out of an abundance of caution we wanted to make repairs. We received massive quotes (with limited explanation why) which just wasn’t an option for us. Then Jeff came along. He was extremely knowledgeable, and explained exactly what was going on. He provided a better option that didn’t require a new system. His quote was significantly lower, and the quality of work was top of the line. Plus, he was able to come out and complete the job faster than anyone else. Jeff is the plumber we’ve always needed but could never find- professional, honest and efficient. I just wish we had found Spartan sooner!
Update: I forgot to hit ‘post’ below from a job in August 2025. We had an issue where our new hose bib burst because we had an attachment that should have been removed. Christian and Abel came out and they were very knowledgeable, shared their best practices, and got us on our way with new homeowner awareness and a bit of a discount because we called them back. Christian is a solid plumber I would recommend to anyone for honesty and transparency. From August 2025: We hired Spartan to replace our outdoor hose bibs. The scheduling was easy and although they had to reschedule the first day, they got us in quickly the next day. Christian was sent out for the job. He was kind, honest, communicated with us while we had to be gone for awhile, and provided insightful knowledge based on his work experience. The results look fantastic and no more leaks!!
I had a fantastic experience with Vaughn at Spartan Plumbing. From the beginning, he really took the time to think the job through and make sure it was done the right way... not just the fastest way. You can tell he genuinely takes pride in his work and truly cares about taking care of the customer. Vaughn was communicative throughout the entire process, always punctual, and extremely professional. He explained things clearly, paid attention to the details, and made me feel confident that everything was being handled properly. It’s hard to find people who care this much about the quality of their work anymore, and Vaughn absolutely stands out. We’ll definitely be reaching back out to Vaughn for any future plumbing needs. Highly recommend him.
I just happen to see the Spartan wrap truck at a neighbor’s house and decided to call and get an estimate for the replacement of a water heater. In doing so Christian was sent to my home he reviewed the water heater situation the plumbing around it as well as the main shut off for our home; which was the original. Christian’s expertise and knowledge about what was needed for my home and the replacement of the water heater was above and beyond anything that we experienced with the other professionals that we’d had in for estimates. We decided to go same day with Spartan Solely because of Christian and his professionalism kindness and his amazing knowledge I would highly recommend Spartan and most especially their employee Christian.
I cannot say enough good things about Christian and Jose. They were so kind, professional and jovial that my wife and I really enjoyed having these two replace our water heater, install a utility sink and make a permanent fridge line for us. They were very upfront about what services they thought we needed based on the condition of our house (from the 70s) and helped us identify that we needed some other critical repairs. They also helped work within our budget and price match another quote that we had gotten. We seriously can't say enough good things about their work and work ethic. Christian and Jose are the best and we would call them back at the drop of a hat.
