I had a great experience when my water heater started acting up. From the moment I called, he was able to get me on his schedule quickly, which I really appreciated. He showed up on time, diagnosed the issue fast, and had everything repaired efficiently. What really stood out was how clearly he explained the entire process. He walked me through what was wrong, what he was doing to fix it, and even pointed out a few upgrades that could help prevent future problems—without any pressure. Even better, I was able to schedule those upgrades for the same week, which made the whole process seamless and stress-free. Professional, responsive, and honest. I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again and highly recommend his services.
I highly recommend Vancleve Plumbing. Dakota was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable about our plumbing issues. He was kind enough to fit us into his busy schedule, arrived on time and provided excellent service. We will definitely be using this company for future plumbing needs.
This is the kind of plumber you are looking for. Small business with experience; No big plumbing company scams. I needed a house pressure regulator valve replaced and Dakota made it happen and did it at a fair price. I highly recommend working with Van Cleave plumbing.
Dakota was an absolute pleasure to work with. He arrived promptly and carried himself with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. Not only did he skillfully change our water softener, sump pump repair, but he also took care of our water heater boiler with efficiency and expertise. His friendly demeanor and clear communication made the entire experience stress-free. It’s rare to find someone who combines technical knowledge with such genuine kindness. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dakota to anyone in need of reliable service.
Dakota was fantastic! My old water heater stopped working, and he fit me into his schedule right away. He installed a top-quality replacement with a great warranty and even fixed some poor plumbing work from when the house was built. It’s clear he takes pride in his craft and knows his stuff. Everything looks and works perfectly now—highly recommend!
