Need a new water heater

1ts 15 years old, no surprise, Ive actually been keeping an eye on it expecting it. What did surprise me is it really sprung a leak, no trickle like I've seen before, this was a flood.
I checked the business members and didn't see anyone who does water heaters in the Thornton area, if there is, please let me know.
Before anyone tells me to do it myself, I've done 2 water heaters in the past but I just had a knee replacement and there's no way I could get the new one in the basement and the old one out at this time or I'd tackle it myself. So, if you know of someone trustworthy who can install one let me know.
I'm also curious what this is going to set me back $$. A couple grand I suppose?

Russell Walsh plumbing...not sure if they go up to Thornton or not, but they have replaced 2 in our rental units in the past year. Full 7 yr warranty...no BS with manufacturer, call them for ANY warranty issues...50 gal...1550 each installed.

Yeah. You probably need to hire someone.
Better safe than sorry. Unless many people you know can do all the heavy lifting work.
I did mine few month after revision/cleanup surgery, and it was not easy.

That is a hell of a good deal.
