Testimonials

What People Say

Always a pleasure working with Adam. Very reliable and I appreciate the work he does.

Ivan S.

I called Adam and he responded in like 20 minutes… He was professional and got right back to me immediately. I had a water heater where the pilot light would not light. Well it was only 7 years old and frustrating due to it was an expensive one. He said to me that he could fix it or replace it with a new water heater. I like that he offered both options. I will keep his phone number in my phone. He always responds back quickly and for that he truly deserves 5 stars….

Annette B.

Adam replaced a 12 year old 40 gallon hot water tank for us. He replaced it with a high altitude 50 gallon tank and he artfully managed to navigate a pretty small opening into our crawlspace with the new larger hot water heater. He was fast to respond, fast to get out to our house, on time and he did everything he said he would do for the price. No surprises. Very easy, 5 star experience. Thanks Adam!

D K.

Adam is the man! He was able to help us late at night and last minute when we needed. He won’t over charge you for the simple things and is just all around a great guy. I would refer him to anyone!

I needed a tankless hot water system installed and contacted multiple vendors in the Big Bear area. It is amazing how many contractors did not respond, and some of the ones that did provided dates that were longer than 30 days out for an appt, or offered extremely expensive quotes without even seeing the project. While I ultimately selected another contractor, it was a very hard choice. With that in mind, I want to leave this positive review for Adam. Adam responded to my contact promptly; he arranged to come out the same day to meet and evaluate what was needed; he arrived on time and as promised and spent the time to explain what was needed, discuss options, and stayed in communication during the evening to address questions that came up. Adam is clearly a very caring professional. I would highly recommend him, and I am looking forward to working with him in the future.

Richard S.

I’ve had the opportunity to use Adam 3 times, all with outstanding results, so I thought it was time to Yelp his business. I have always found Adam to be extremely honest and truthful; he has never upsold me on any work which is quite refreshing in today’s marketplace. Adam is conscientious, courteous, professional, and responsive . It is obvious Adam cares about his customers, and the quality of work he does shows it. It is my pleasure to strongly recommend AR Joens Plumbing.

David R.

Adam, is hands down; the most professional and punctual plumber in Big Bear. I don’t have enough fingers on my hands to count the many times he has saved me. An not only saving the day, showing up immediately in force to tackle any (and many) of my plumbing problems. I couldn’t make it up here without having a plumber so on top of it, and a plumber that actually is licensed and knows exactly what he is doing.

If you are reading this review and in the need of a plumber in the valley, please do not hesitate to reach out to Adam. Get it done the right way, the first time. He’s never let me down.
