It went great, and I highly recommend them for the quality of their work, I just think $829 dollars to install four valves was a bit extreme. I'm sure there are more reasonably priced plumbers.

They showed up, take one look at the job, and told me I need a new heater. Since they were unable to upsell me the most expensive thing possible they immediately left. I had another HVAC company look at the job. They confirmed nothing was wrong with the heater and they quoted me a estimate at a fraction of the price of a new heater. Caveat emptor!

Anthony was very professional in diagnosing the problem with the sink and bathtub. He arrived on time, was very friendly and patient, and did his work carefully. He answered all my questions, was willing to check anything I had questions about, and was very good about keeping things clean. We would definitely hire him again, as I feel we could trust his assessment of our problems.

The service was prompt and professional, but overall very expensive for what was done. The cost was over $700 for less than 3hrs work from one person, plus the cost of the estimate. They replaced burned out main and backup sump pumps . Through no fault of theirs, the backup was faulty. So, in fact the backup did not get installed. The next day I purchased a new one and called back to ask if they would install the back up and if I had to pay more for them to do it. This would have been less than an hour to do. Even after several calls to them and speaking with several people, they never called me back or answered my question. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't pay them until the full service was complete. I felt like once they got my payment, they really couldn't be bothered to call me back. Although the actual workers that came out were great, I won't be using them in the future.

Albert Nahman Plumbing was helpful and extremely professional. The work done by Nicholas was resourceful (involving hooking up a new heater with different requirements into a gas supply and vent system installed thirty years earlier) and carefully executed. He's a knowledgeable, courteous, and highly skilled professional.

Very smoothly. Deepak was a little bit late because a part needed to be sourced, but he was professional and courteous. He was extremely responsive, offering to include pan and water sensor when I expressed concern about leaks. His company was competitively priced and they knew what they were doing! High level of confidence and will use them again.

We could not have had a better experience! Deepak so patiently listened to every one of our concerns, and step by step investigated the whole house to help us find the answers, greatly easing our worries. He solved the washing machine problem with the simple replacement of supply lines with lines of a better quality (which he actually had to go back to the company to get), and he did also replace those rusted supply lines in the bathroom. He also gave us a detailed idea of the services available to investigate more thoroughly some of our worries, such as how to service the tankless water heater and how to be sure the waste lines were sound. He was such a good listener (really, adressing every one of our concerns) that we are left feeling very secure in, not only the excellent work he did, but in this company which we will, now, surely call first for any plumbing or heating needs!
Description of Work: We have just purchased a 1939 bungalow in the Berkeley area. We noticed that the supply lines to the bathroom sink were rusted, and the floor around the toilet looked discolored as if we might have a leak underneath. But we also had quite a few questions about the soundness of the plumbing of this older house, especially whether the house water lines were copper or other metal and whether the washing machine had enough water pressure to function properly? We also worried about "rusted waste lines" that had been noted in a property inspection report.

Responsive service; on time; reasonable arrival window (meaning I didn't have to wait around for 4 hours!). Super nice technicians. Good solutions that make sense to the average homeowner. No up selling to things you really don't need. They just assess the problem and fix it. Right on time in the agreed upon window. Because I called early morning, they actually had a same day service appointment !!! This company has always delivered for me on my rental property and my personal property !! I like the reasonable price on 'small jobs' meaning less than $500. Some plumbing companies won't take small jobserved like that. The service fee to diagnose is extremely reasonable. And once they are there, you should just OK the work and be done with your plumbing problem !!

I don't understand why there is no free on-site evaluation. First off, inspite of describing the problem, they NEED to come onsite to give a fair quote. They charge a lot for just coming on-site. And the quote for the actual work? it'd been 10% of a bathroom remodel.

They delivered. They got a plumber out here. Because he didn't have the proper tools or crew with him, the plumber turned off our water and promised to come on Saturday to fix everything. He did it. Arrived punctually. Went above and beyond. This was a major leak from the main line caused by a corroded pipe. It was a big endeavor. While the price to fix that was expensive, I think it was competitive. For the emergency visit on a holiday weekend, the charge was so reasonable that I thought I heard her wrong.
Description of Work: We had a massive leak spewing and drowning our front lawn on the Friday before July 4 weekend. No one who was recommended by friends was willing to come out on the holiday weekend even though it was before 5. Albert Nahman was also closing for the long weekend, but the woman on the phone understood it was an emergency. She checked in with her drivers going home to see if any lived near us and if they could come take a look.
