Nick was great! We had a pilot light that wouldn't stay lit. He first adjusted the thermocouple and got it going but, of course, it went out again after he left. He came right back and replaced the unit. He was very friendly and did a much more professional job than the plumber who installed the last one back in 2000. I wouldn't hesitate to call First Call again.

We called First Call Plumbing based on our first good experience with the provider. I rated punctuality as B because the main office mismanaged my first appointment. On the second appointment, I was given an estimate of $85/hour for 2 hours of work. On the day of the service, Todd arrived at 8am and started work at 8:10. Pace of work was moderate but he entertained at least one phone call during work and he arrived with only one hose for the two water heaters that needed to be drained. I provided another hose so draining could be done in parallel. Work was completed at 10:10. The bill was written for 2.5 hours of work + parts. I objected to the extra half hour charge. I was told that the additional ten minutes was rounded up to the next half hour. I pointed out that he started work at 8:10 and he took a phone call so he only worked for 2 hours. I was told "it is what it is". I said that I expected more from First Call, I was told "Do you know how difficult it is to run a business with workman's comp and travel expense? I would loose money if I charge you any less." I said I fully appreciate the tough competitive climate and that's why I wanted to support your business model and called you, but if you were going to lose money shouldn't you have reflect that in your bid and estimate? I was told that "Had I quoted you for $100/hour you would not have hired me". We will continue to consider First Call based on our excellent first experience with them, however, experiences such as the above does considerable damage to the environment of trust they work so hard to create - hence a B.

Overall estimate to repair all the plumbing was very high. I was able to find another reputable plumbing company to do the work at 50% less and in a much quicker timeframe. First Call is very professional and competent, just not competitive in repair costs with other established companies.
Description of Work: Responded to a leaking water pipe in the kitchen. The leak was much more extensive and required repairs to plumbing behind the walls. First Call referred the job to Central Coast Casualty Restoration who is either partnered with First Call or owns First Call. That relationship was not divulged in the beginning.

Excellent service all around! What a relief to finally locate a great local plumbing company. My call was promptly responded to and Rod was at my house within 1.5 hrs. The work was quickly & professionally done by Jordon, who even wore booties in the house. In addition he was able to unclog my eyeglasses from the toilet drain, at no charge! My entire experience with "First Call Plumbing" was AAA+ therefore I sincerely recommend them without hesitation and will use them for all of my future plumbing work.

On a scale of one to ten, I give them a resounding eleven.

The park manager came over and as suspected by Ron the park was responsible for the repair. I cannot say how much my husband and I appreciated this. The park manager called his repair people and it will be fixed tomorrow. This is the company I will use over and over again for my plumbing needs. And I certainly will tell all my friends.
Description of Work: I emailed early in the morning asking if someone could come over and look at my leak. I promptly got a call back. My house call was scheduled and Ron was here as promised. After looking at my leak he suggested perhaps the mobile home park I live in was responsible for the pipes.

I have had a great plumber for a few years, but he is having trouble serving my area. I needed to find a closer plumber. I tried a few local guys and they never even called me back. I decided to try Angie's List and eventually spoke with Rod. Despite the Memorial Day holiday and manpower issues he was having, he made time to come out and take care of us. Looked like it was going to be a piece of cake, but my unit ended up having a non-standard connection. He had to go to the store to get the correct fitting. He did not change his estimate. The connection is perfect. He thought of a better way to do it than I would have if I diy'ed it (I am not a good amateur plumber!). I feel good that the work is done right and my wife sleeps better at night knowing that a professional worked on the gas instead of me. Rod also took time to look at a drain I need to have fixed and we will be doing that soon. I highly recommend using him.

We were smelling gas from our hot water heater and called the gas company. They identified the problem but said we'd need a plumber to fix it. First Call was billed as doing emergency repairs, so we called them. A plumber came out within a couple of hours, repaired the controller, and told us the water heater was still under warranty (we'd just bought the house and had no idea), so the part would be covered, and we'd only need to pay for the labor of replacing it. He really seemed to know his trade; I'd definitely hire them again.

Job completed in 40 mins. Had to cut out the 30 yr old drain assembly. My only objection was getting slapped with such a huge bill. $215 is about twice what I expected to pay for this job. 45 mins in my home. The tech said they don't charge by the hour but the job. Even told me he gave me a break because it was listed in his book at $250. Ridiculous! I won't call this company again.

Dear Member Thank you for taking the time to review our company. It is customer feedback that helps us to be a better company. The one category that you feel we did not perform well is price. Our pricing system is designed to let the customer know up front what the cost will be - unlike time and material that can be an unknown. There is more than just the time a technician spends at ones home that makes up for the pricing. It covers; materials used, experienced licensed plumbers, well equipped trucks, insurance, office staff and much more. We are confident that the price you paid is very competitive for the work performed.

Dear Member Although we appreciate the efforts of members to review us, we feel your review does not state all the facts. Our tech arrived and quoted you a price to fix a broken water line servicing the house, irrigation system and hose bib to the side yard; then insulate the manifold. This line was broken between two shut off valves, both of which were in need of replacement. In an effort to keep costs down, you declined our recommendation to replace both valves, choosing to replace only one. This choice lead to the first return trip. It was determined that the old valve had a small leak coming from the packing of the handle. You were not home and did not authorize replacing the valve, so we tightened it and it appeared to stop the leak. The second call back, you continued to complain that the old valve was leaking. Again the reason for this call back was due to the fact that you did not authorize the repair. The only way to resolve the problem was as we had originally recommended - to replace the valve. In an effort to leave you as a completely satisfied customer, we replaced the valve at no cost to you. We regret that our efforts did not satisfy you.

Plumber arrived on time at 8 AM and introduced himself as Junior. He was polite and professional. New hot water heater was installed that morning and the old one was hauled away. Obviously, I would have preferred not having the expense, and this provider isn't inexpensive having charged me $1000 (used a $25 Angie's List Coupon to bring it down to $975), but they got the job done quickly, professionally and I'm satisfied with the work. No complaints.

Everything went fine,the only hiccup was that Rod went to our old address instead of the current one. This meant a delay of about 20 minutes not a huge deal. I understand that the price is most likely on the higher end for a water heater replacment, but I wanted it done correctly. Rod was honest and upfront about everything. He told me about the warranty that came with the water heater and told me for additional 150 they could extend the warrany for another 5 years. He was not pushy or insistent just wanted me to be aware of it. Overall it a good experience and I will use them again for any plumbing needs I have. Honest, professional and quality, what more could you want.
Description of Work: Called regarding water heater, which I knew was old and needed replaced. Came by on the 2nd took a look at it, gave me the cost and time frame for a replacement. Came out on the 9th and completed the removal of the old water heater and installation of the new.
