water heater problem on the phone and invited me to call back with questions. Baron
provided a quote that was considerably less than his competitors and included a longer
(5 year) warranty period on labor. He scheduled the service for the next day, was
punctual, and left my white carpet spotless. Beyond these attributes, three things stood
out about his work. First, we had been told by another plumber that our 14-year old unit
definitely needed to be replaced because it had several leeks. After examining the unit,
Baron discovered only one leak which was confined to a valve that could have been
repaired. Unlike less scrupulous service people, he gave us the option of repairing the
leak for a nominal charge (“you might be able to get a few more years out of it”) or of
installing a new heater. Due to the age of the unit, we decided to invest in a new heater
but were very impressed with his honesty. Secondly, the heater was in a challenging,
tight location – up two flights of stairs and in an attic with angled walls and heating
vents. Baron handled what might have been obstacles to a less flexible and less
experienced plumber with aplomb. Above all, he honored his telephone quote to the
penny. The Bay Area needs more entrepreneurs like Baronpenny. The Bay Area needs

Comments: They replaced my 20 year old 30 gallon water heater with a 40 gallon very
efficient Rheem unit as quoted. They showed up on time and were very thorough and
answered all questions. They removed the old heater and installed the new one in less
than two hours and I had hot water as promised a half hour after they left. They also
were hundreds of dollars less than prices I was quoted by those full page yellow pages
ads. These guys are great! I highly recommend them and wish all home repair
companies were as honest as them.
Comments: My existing water heater was 16 years old and starting to lose its
effectiveness. It was time to look for another water heater so I began to search for
someone who could offer me a reasonably priced, high quality water heater installed,
and would haul away my old water heater without an additional charge. I saw some
very positive reviews from Baron's previous clients and thought I'd give him a call.
Baron was very helpful and informative and I felt at ease at hiring him to tackle on my
water heater replacement project. Baron's straight forward pricing helped me to feel
confident that I was getting a good deal and not being set up for a lot of extra hidden
charges once the job was complete. I am very happy with my new water heater that
Baron installed and can definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to replace
their water heater. Baron and Pete (his trusted side-kick) came in and got the job done
in 90 minutes. Clean, quick, efficient and fairly priced. Great guys but I hope I won't
need them for another 15 years.

Comments: Excalibur is a owner operated business. Over the phone I gave him what type
of water heater we had and informed him that it was fully up to code and there was no
emergency since it was dripping slowly. I wanted it replaced before we went on another.
Baron arrived with the new water heater and drip pan. Everything else was OK so he
replaced the heater. Price was better than 3 other installers and completed to my
schedule. I will recommend this company to my friends that my need a water heater
replacement. Dave, Los Altos

expensive & unnecessary pipeing & venting modifications not required by my local
expensive & unnecessary pipeing & venting modifications not required by my local
building code. An Internet search uncovered respond.com services and I put in a request
for a water heater. Within minutes I received an email response from Excalibur and
another supplier. A phone call to Baron at Excalibur revealed an extremely
knowledgeable installer who asked pertinent questions and did not try to "sell" me on
unnecessary modifications to boost his profit. Additionally his quote was about 2/3rds that
of the quotes I already had and he offered a longer warranty on the tank and an unheard
of 5 year warranty on labor. Baron even arrived about 15 minutes early for the scheduled
installation and did a thoroughly profession installation including replacement of the flex
gas and water lines. I am extremely pleased with the water heater installed by Baron and
would recommend him to anyone in need of a water heater at a fair price with
unbeatable tank and labor warranties. unbeatable tank and labor warranties.

Comments: Just had my 10 year old water heater replaced through Excalibur. Found him
through this site and have to agree with all the other reviewers. Baron provided prompt
service at an unbeatable price. He made the process extremely easy, one phone call to
Baron is all the work you'll need to do. Don't bother going through Lowe's, Home Depot, or
other plumbing services. They make you jump though hoops, talk to many different people
before you can even setup an appointment. On top of that, they will charge you an arm and
a leg for a straightforward replacement. I am extremely pleased with your service. Thanks
again, Baron

Comments: Excalibur is an owner operated company. I would rate this fact as a distinct
advantage over larger companies. I received a prompt and informative e-mail response to
my bid for services (replacement of hot water heater). In phone conversations we discussed
my specific situation, my myriad questions were answered patiently and competently, and I
was presented with several options and inclusive pricing. Installation was prompt and
satisfactory. I particularly appreciated to receive a phone call on the day of the
installation, when the agreed upon time of installation had to be moved back by an hour
due to unforeseen circumstances.

Comments: I am very impressed with the services Excalibur Water Heaters provided me. It
was about 7:30AM on the 22nd and my shower was cold as ice! I immediately went to
the Internet and looked for someone to come and fix it right away. I spoke to Baron and
he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful by explaining his service and coming right
over. When he got there he already had a new water heater for me and we made an
agreement to go ahead and replace it. One hour and a half later he was done and the
new water water heater was installed and everything looked professional. He had already
cleaned up everything and had the heater running. I wrote him a check and will call him
immediately if I ever need any other plumbing work done! He was the BEST and most
professional serviceman I have ever hired. Bravo to Excalibur Water Heaters!! Thanks alot

Comments: Excalibur Water Heater Co is top notch. So glad I went w/ Baron. He was honest,
professional, and cleaned up ALL the mess. There were NO hidden charges. We discussed
the charge over the phone and that's what I paid. He arrived on time and completed the job
in about 2 hours. As a police officer, I very cautious who I allow in and around my home. I
would recommend him to anyone.

Comments: The service I received from Excalibur Water Heaters was excellent. My water
heater broke down on a Monday night at 11:00pm. I sent out a request for proposals and was
surprised to get a response within 30 minutes. I was able to make an appointment for the
next day. Baron showed up on time and completed the job quickly within the amount he
quoted...there were no surprises!

Comments: Baron of Excalibur installed my new water heater. He did a great job and went
beyond the call of duty. He quoted me a price well below other estimates I received.
However, my particular situation because of the age of my home and the type of existing
plumbing as well as the modifications to bring everything up to code called for a bit more
work than he had anticipated. Baron fullfilled the job and I only incurred a very minimal
added expense to cover additional parts needed. That was very much appreciated
because the job took quite a bit more effort and time than was expected. He was
professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend him to family, friends and
anyone who needs a water heater installation. Needless to say, I am pleased with the job.
Thank you Baron.

Comments: I am so happy to have found Baron and Excalibur Water Heaters. My water
heater broke and in a panic, I almost paid double what Excalibur was going to charge by
going with another local company! Luckily, I came to my senses and started doing some
research before going ahead with them. I called Home Depot, Lowes and Excalibur.
Home Depot and Lowes gave me a price in the same range as Excalibur. However, when
their sub-contractor called to arrange a time, they 1) couldn't schedule a time with me for
2-3 days and 2) told me that the original quote didn't include any additional charges that
might be necessary to bring my heater up to code. With Excalibur, Baron gave me a flat
fee no matter what he needed to do and he installed the new heater the very next
morning in under two hours! Baron was clearly the best choice and I am thrilled with the
service he provided

Comments: Baron Sherrill arrived on time and was very organized in the installation
of the new water heater. Everything was done methodically with no wasted time; he
made the needed adaptations required and the installation was completed in under
two hours. I was impressed and pleased. I recommend Excalibur to anyone for a new
water heater.

Comments: I am very happy with Excalibur Water Heaters' work and rapid response on my
urgent need on 5/20/2008. I got a call back from Baron Sherrill in the early morning that
day and gave me an estimate, then I called him back in an hour later, and every thing was
taking care of. It was 10 times easier, time saving to deal with Excalibur directly instead of
purchasing from HomeDepot and the certified contractor to do the work. Excalibur Water
Heaters' work is excellent, responsive, and price is right. I highly recommended.
