  DO NOT use this plumber unless you want to get ripped off by him and give away your money!!!! I do not usually write reviews (cliche', I know) and this one is 10 months after this "company" provided services because I was naive, trusting, and ignorant. Nevertheless, Mr. Maldonado took advantage of my trust, and I daresay the fact that I'm a woman (but I have no doubt he would do the same to anyone), and outrageously overcharged me on a what I now know to be a simple job. American Home Shield assigned me this company to diagnose why my A/C unit was leaking and after both his sons (older gentlemen too, not young) came in to look at it, was told that the PVC line was not angled correctly which caused the draining water to stagnate eventually flowing back towards the unit creating the leak. I naively trusted them, his two sons and Mr. Maldonado (Sr.), when they told me it would be an extensive and costly job quoting me at $1,300. This was in May 2021 after the freeze when plumbing supplies were still scarce and plumbers had full schedules, so I wanted to be understanding that maybe PVC was more expensive than usual. I truly didn't even think of shopping around because 1) they seemed trustworthy and 2) I really needed it fixed because my ceiling already had extensive water damage. Fast forward to today (or rather three days ago), I needed to get my A/C looked at again because it was not cooling the house. I met a wonderful repairman, he did a great job by the way, whom after I mentioned the expense I had made to repair the drain line said was extremely overpriced. At this point I realized that I had not inspected the job and hadn't been up in the attic since before Maldonado came to replace the PVC so when I looked up there I was so infuriated because there was no difference to the way the line was setup prior to them performing "the job". It was no more than maybe 15 ft of PVC that was replaced with a couple of joints. To add insult to injury, I was left with a hole in one of the bedroom walls that they "had to make" which I have to repair out of pocket. I am so disappointed, more so with myself for trusting, that there are people out there who have a business in a trade that is so needed by homeowners whose business is really taking advantage of people and taking their money. I am a disabled veteran, at the time wasn't working and had only been back to Laredo for 3 months. Mr. Maldonado and his sons knew this and that I was tight with money but didn't even search their heart (though, I don't believe they have one) to do the right thing. Instead, his entire family, because he brought the cavalry with him (Maldonado Senior, his two sons, and four teenagers who were his grandkids), think it's ethically okay to rip people off. Don't use this company!!!!

  The owner of this Company & his son were very un professional. The company is a contractor for American Home Shield. They filed an invoice with status of completed but never performed the scope of work and he has been avoiding calls from my Warranty Company Representatives. Since 11/23/21 work is still not completed and sent us a text message telling us qe needed to look for another contractor. Mr. Maldondo is collecting money from American Home Shield for work that is not being completed.

  This man is a thief! He was sent out through American Homeshield and 1- uncharged me on the permit to install a water heater, from $56 with the city to $170! He was also provided with a Rheem water heater by the insurance company and arrived with another brand heater, considerably less expensive. He was extremely rude and unprofessional and I would steer clear of this company.
