  • Nathaniel Gustafson

    So impressed with Pat! He called me back quickly, even allowing me to phone him back after my kids game (after hours). And was so kind and helpful diagnosing the leak. I haven’t experience customer service like that in a very long time! Thank you!!!

    Pat from Affordable Plumber was friendly and spectacular! He quickly fixed my plumbing problem, then identified an imminent plumbing issue with the entire setup and fixed that as well. Pat is knowledgeable about every aspect of plumbing and points out where previous setups, usually from large, expensive companies, are incorrect. He seems like a born tradesman, thinks critically about the entire plumbing system, and uses that innate knowledge to fix the issues correctly. Pat is indeed affordable and doesn’t cut corners. I found him via a local recommendation on a social media page, and I 100% pass that recommendation on to anyone who needs a plumber for any issue. I will for sure use him for ANY plumbing issue that arises in the future. If you have a leak, have him come take a peek!!!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough great things about Pat and his team! When my water heater suddenly sprung a leak, Pat was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and thorough. He walked me through everything that was happening, explained what needed to be done, and made a very stressful situation so much easier to handle. He even connected me with a water damage company and helped me navigate the entire process. I truly don’t know what I would have done without him! Pat and his team did an awesome job from start to finish. They were professional, thorough, reasonably priced, and genuinely cared about helping. I also love being able to support a great local business. I will never use another plumber. Pat has earned my business for life! I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and reasonably priced plumber.

    Found leaking drain pipe in wall. Discovered expansion joint coupling was improperly installed and lightweight drain pipe had a hole and crack. Identified which fixtures drained into cracked pipe so we mark them out of service until final repair. Prompt, clean and affordable. Highly recommended.

  • Shelby Chavez

    Our water heater was toast. It was old and in need of replacing. We were given an estimate from another company and not only was it high, but they couldn’t do anything until either the next day or the following. Hot water is a necessity when you have kids, so I made the next call to Pat. He was honest, funny and professional. He came out that evening past hours with his team to replace our water heater and beat the previous company by a good chunk of money. We’re so grateful to have this fixed so quickly and also at such a reasonable rate! I’ll use the again and again, so don’t to hesitate call these guys now!

  • Bobby Reginelli Modus Realtor

    Patrick was incredible. Just a genuinely good dude who gave us a little bit of time out of his busy schedule to help us with an emergency toilet fix. He even went so far as to give us a free toilet when the current one couldn’t be fixed. This is how small business is done. Thank you very much!

    Jeremiah did a great job fixing my mom's bathroom faucet stopper the same day. Instead of replacing the faucet, he found the missing part, picked it up, and installed it—saving us money. Highly recommend this company.

  • Dave Wiegand

    Pat fit me in next day to help with some shower issues. He took my call right away and troubleshooted my issue over the phone. Was super friendly and empathetic to the fact that I knew nothing about my plumbing issue. He was transparent on pricing with an instant quote. It was the 2nd quote I got and he fairly quoted competitively with the market. He reached out and gave me an eta for his arrival and showed up in that window on time. He got right to work and got it done quickly. Was super friendly and even explained what he was doing along the way. Great, down to earth guy! I already have him coming back for some other work I need done. 100% recommend his services if you’re looking for quality and professional service.

  • Darren Bishop

    I was looking for an independent, honest, reliable plumber, and Pat is it. He came over, gave me a quote(and even lowered it after looking at the job), and told me up front where added costs might come into play(none did). He installed 4 new toilets and rebuilt a leaking Delta tub faucet. I Can’t recommend him enough!

  • Kay Just Kostalnick

    Pat, with Affordable Plumber, just came to fix our main bath toilet. What’s especially Impressive was that he asked for a photo of the insides of the tank before arriving, so he could have make sure he had all the parts to complete the work in one trip. He worked quickly and competently. His pricing is fair and he’s clearly very knowledgeable. And I loved that he didn’t try to upsell other possible plumbing repairs around the house. Pat is my new go-to plumber!

  • Rebecca Holm

    Pat from Affordable Plumbing just finished 2 plumbing projects for us. Though they were complicated projects, he and his apprentice, Eddie, completed them so quickly and professionally! Plus, they were so nice to work with and completely cleaned up afterwards. But maybe best of all, it cost us 2/3 less than our other estimate - seriously!!! We're going to have him come back to replace our water heater. We've been procrastinating because the bids were so high! But Pat is going to do it all for 1/4 of the other bids. May God bless Pat and his company with prosperity, happiness, and health!!!

Pat Wertin

  • Owner
  • Master Plumber
  • Castle Rock’s Plumber

When you call Affordable Plumber CO LLC, you get Pat Wertin. He owns the business and answers his own phone. When he gets there, he explains what he finds and gives you a price before he starts.

“If water runs through it. I do it!” #NoCornersCut #PatThePlumber

Four things Pat’s customers keep saying

Read enough of his Google reviews and the same things come up again and again.

  1. He picks up, and he shows up

    People are surprised to reach the owner on the first call, and surprised again when he arrives when he said he would.

    “This guy shows up when you call, does what he says he will, is friendly fast, and fixes it right!”

    Art Spencer, on Google
  2. A fair price, stated up front

    The word they use is fair, not cheap. They describe a straight quote before the work, and a bill that matched it.

    “Pat is great! On time, did what he said he’d do, and stayed spot on with his quote. Very honest and ethical!!”

    Ryan Sharp, on Google
  3. He explains what he’s doing

    Pat walks you through what broke and what to watch for next time, so you leave knowing your house a little better.

    “He gave me some mini lessons on taking care of my Colorado home.”

    Robin T, on Google
  4. Then he’s your plumber

    After one visit, a lot of them stop looking. They save his number and call him for the next thing.

    “We have finally found our plumber in the Castle Rock area!”

    Max Hartner, on Google

What happens when you call

Call or text (303) 718-6312

Worried you’ll be sold more than you need?

“Most of us have gotten to the point, sadly, where these visits have you with that nagging thought in the back of your head that you are being taken advantag of. With Pat, you will see those thoughts go away after his first visit.”

Scott Thomasen, on Google

Plenty of people call Pat after a bigger company quoted them a lot of work. This is what they say happened instead.

  • The part, not the whole faucet

    “Instead of replacing the faucet, he found the missing part, picked it up, and installed it—saving us money.”

    Kristol Knox, on Google
  • Nothing needed fixing

    “Patrick came on time, did thorough inspections and told us we didn’t have any issue and didn’t have to pay any money.”

    tingting chen, on Google
  • A call to the town first

    “He troubleshot my issue and suggested I contact the city water to replace my water meter before doing any repairs. The city replaced it for free and no more issues.”

    Joe Tomko, on Google

Questions before you call

What people ask first. For anything else, call or text Pat.

Water is leaking. What do I do until you get here?

Turn off the water at your main shut-off valve, usually where the water line comes into the house in the basement, crawlspace or garage. If it won't close, or the water is coming from the street, call Castle Rock Water's emergency line at 720-733-6000 (press 1 after hours). Then call or text Pat.

What areas do you work in?

Castle Rock, and only Castle Rock. Pat works in town and nowhere else.

Can I text instead of calling?

Yes. Text Pat what's going on, with your address and a photo if you have one. Customers describe quick replies by text.

Can I get a price before the work starts?

Ask for one when you call or text. Customers describe getting a quote up front: over the phone, from a photo, or after Pat looks at the job in person.

Will Pat try to sell me things I don't need?

Customers say no, and many mention it as the thing that surprised them. When he spots something else, he explains it, gives you the price and lets you decide.
