Everything went well. The plumbers were very professional and friendly. I lucked out and had two plumbers due to the one's truck had broken down and was picked up by my plumber on his way to my house. This helped them complete the job quicker (one hour) and they did not charge me for the extra man's labor. I was concerned about the pilot light for my furnace located in the attic so the other plumber crawled up to ensure all was well. before they left. I believe the quality, price, and knowledge of this plumbing company are well worth the time you would invest in your next plumbing need. If I had any negative it would be the exact time the guy showed up. I had an 0800 appointment scheduled for the plumber and it was sometime after 0845 that he showed (probably due to the other guys truck breaking down). I called to find out where he was and was told by "management" that the 0800 time was just a window and I could expect him to show within a two hour span of the 0800 time. I suggest "management" always point this out when making future appoinmtments with other customers.
Description of Work: Dropped my kitchen range gas line down in order to make room for the new range's gas input location. Required adding about a foot of new pipe to the existing one and cutting into the drywall to gain access.

We received delivery of a new wall oven from Sears. Their installers removed the old oven to reveal the existing gas line would interfere with the installation of the new wall oven. The installers recommended we contact a plumber to have the work done. So the wall oven install would have to wait. Incidentally I have a terrible history with various plumbing companies in San Diego -- from over charging for work performed to not showing up on time. So it is always with some trepidation that I contact a plumber and if it wasn't involving a gas line I would have done the work myself. I contacted A to Z plumbing based on their reviews on Angie's List and the proximity of other work they have done in the La Mesa area. The moment I spoke with the woman scheduling the job I knew something was different. Her voice was friendly and not rushed. We agreed on a time, 9am on Friday. The plumber arrived promptly at 9am on Friday, assessed the situation, discussed the work to be done, and after we both agreed on the approach (it involved removing some drywall to access the gas pipe within the wall), he got started. 90 minutes later the job was complete, the work area was clean, in fact he placed a thick mat down to lay his tools, gather debris, and insure the tools he used did not damage our hardwood flooring. This is by far the best experience I have had with a plumbing company in the last 16 years. If this is indicative to all of the jobs they perform, small to large, I see no reason to use any other company.
Description of Work: Recess existing gas line to accommodate new wall oven install.

I woke up to a shower that wouldn't drain and a toilet that wouldn't flush. I called several plumbers who couldn't provide service til later in the week and quoted me a price I thought was reather expensive. A to Z plumbing was able to book an appointment for me that day and quoted a price I felt was reasonable. They called as promissed before arriving and the plumber was very nice and careful not to stain the stucco. The plumber was very nice and professional. He had the problem cleared in 30 min. and gave me the Angie's List discount! They will be returning to do some more work on another project next month.
Description of Work: I woke up to a shower that wouldn't drain and a toilet that wouldn't flush. They determined it was a main line stoppage and were able to clear it from outside.

After discovering the problem I called A to Z and arranged for a plumber to come. He arrived punctually and professionally, crawled under the house (through all goo that had amassed), agreed with me on the source of the leak, assured me it wouldn't break the bank financially to repair, and proceeded to fix the plumbing. He couldn't have been more friendly or competent, even honoring a $15 coupon offered on Angie's List. Subsequently, while attending to the mildew issue, I had occasion to take a good look at the repair job personally. Very nice work! I also got a nice thank you note from the owner (I assume), Ray. Nice touch. Would I recommend them? You bet. Will I call them again when I need a plumber? For sure.
Description of Work: I had a drain pipe from my kitchen sink completely corrode away under the house. All water from the sink (disposal and dishwasher, as well) drained directly onto the ground under the kitchen. It was the smell of mildew that finally tipped me off....after, undoubtedly, many weeks of water accumulation. I called A to Z based on reviews on Angie's List and was delighted with the results. They came out, exactly at the time scheduled, assessed the problem, repaired the breach, and were gone in maybe an hour and a half.

The leak has occurred twice before and repaired by two others, th elast time only 6 months ago! but it recurred again. Appointment was to be between 9 and 10 to follow another job, and Martin showed up at 08:55 AM. He was able to confirm the site of the leak as being eroded grout on the overlying ledge of Corian at the front of the shower, and was able to demonstrate it such that he did not have to cut thru any dry wall to find it, thus saving having to do drywall repair afterwards. It of course would have been nice if they also did grout work, but i understand it is the age of specialists, being one myself, in another field. He then replaced washers on the fairly old drippy shower faucets, one of which had screws that had deteriorated and could not be easily removed, and which required drilling out a new hole in one of the screws to remove it. He then lubricated them. Martin wore shoe covers, brought his own protective pad, and was efficient , pleasant and very professional. I received an hours' worth of work for an hours' charge, and my Angie's List coupon was honored. This was first time I have used both Angie's List and A to Z Plumbing, and both were exceptionally positive experiences. Now I get to use Angie's List again, to find someone who can doshower stall grout repairs, to hopefully resolve the leaking problem for the final time.
Description of Work: I called due to a leak of water under and through a wall adjacent to my master BR Corian stall shower, as well as leaky shower faucets in the same shower.

Excellent services from the initial call to services provided; all in the same day. Technician more than happy to answer our questions about likely plumbing problems and also provided starting information for general contracting work to make slab leak (two of them) repairs in our living room and kitchen areas. Did not however give us "root cause" for toilet backflows into hallway and master bedroom (later determined to be caused by main sewer line breaks going from the house to street sewer main).

Overall we are very pleased to have gotten needed repairs completed on time and a bid on more extensive plumbing work.
Description of Work: We just moved inot an older house, built in 1959 which had been a rental for eight years. The home had been neglected. A to Z repaired faucets in two showers and fixed leakes in two bathrooms. They worked with a videoscope specialist to locate blockages in an old waste pipe that runs from the house to the street. They then gave us a reasonable bid on work to replace pipes and toilets in the house. was Their people were professional and their price was fair. Thanks to them we're on our way to having plumbing that works.

I received an estimate range that was fair $125-$150 for the job + tax. The pair led by Seth were friendly, clean and competent. The job was done in the time stated. They made things look nice where they changed fittings. They cleaned up -- even cleaning away some cobwebs that were nearby but that close to where they worked.
Description of Work: Removed natural gas connection to outside BBQ and plugged each end of line. Removed water hose bib from one location and placed it in another. Removed sanitary sewer connection that had been for BBQ sink and plugged it so that it could be a secondary cleanout.

On Wednesday the 15th, I smelled an odor of gas outside and called SDG&E (first mistake), they determined I had at least one gas leak and shut off the gas, telling me to get a plumber to resolve the problem. My regular plumber was on vacation and he referred me to A to Z plumbing. They immediately came out and determined I had not 1, but 2 gas leaks, one of which required trenching to dig up the original gas line (65 years old) and replacing it. The kicker was I had family arriving the next day for a week long stay, and with no hot water or way to cook, no gas was not going to make their stay enjoyable. A to Z found the problems, fixed them quickly, and stood by while I got the work inspected by the city. The gas was back on a couple hours before my guests arrived. Thank you A to Z.

I joined Angie's List because I needed a referral for a plumber. We had a leaking pipe inside the garage. The job of changing the main leaking valve was done and now there is no more water leaking. It took 2 and a half hour to finish the job but it was very well done. Martin was very professional and very thorough with his job. I will call them again.
Description of Work: We had the main valve leaking inside the garage and needed to be replaced because it was corroded, 24 year old house and never replaced before. Martin, the service man, gave me an estimate of the repair and why the valve should be replaced. The valve was replaced and it should be good for a long time now. Martin was very professional and a very respectful person. The job was done in about 2 and a half hour and he left everything clean. I would recommend this company that is family owned.

The company does not give estimates and had the plumber not done the job I would have had to pay for the plumber showing up. To the company's credit the plumber showed up on time well within the window that was given. I have had a good experience with getting free estimates from other plumbers. I learned a lesson about asking ahead of time. I WILL NOT BE USING A to Z PLUMBING IN THE FUTURE. And whats up with the TOC charge why should I pay for your gas when I am already paying $95 per hour.

These guys were fantastic. They were assigned to us via our home warrenty, but they were able to fix things that another plumbing company said they wouldn't be able to fix. They were supposed to arrive between 9:15am and 11:15am because I had another appointment that was supposed to be finished at 9am, and when I pulled in at 9am they were patiently waiting in their van. Both men introduced themselves to me and started working immediately. They went through the problems one by one and told me what they were going to do and asked me if I had any questions. They even went above and beyond and installed my bathtub plug for no cost (even after another plumber said it couldn't be done without removing the whole bathtub). They also were able to fix my leaking faucet even though the previous plumber said I would have to get new fixtures. These guys were really great!!!
Description of Work: I had to get a dripping faucet repaired and both the bathtub faucets leaked when the shower was engaged.

The job went very well as described above.
Description of Work: Remove and replace sanitary drain line in my kitchen. The original cast iron drain pipe was cast into the raised foundation stem wall. The job was fairly difficult, and other "repair plumbers" had declined the job because it was beyond the scope of their abilities. A to Z took care of the job in half a day. They crawled under the house, and removed the old corroded 56 year old cast iron pipe. They replaced it with new ABS pipe, and installed a clean out out the exterior stucco wall. They went into the under sink cabinet and re plumbed the sink and garbage disposer, and connected to the drain vent. All work was completed in a professional manner. I asked them for an estimate on the repair of a leaky vanity faucet in the upstairs bathroom. The plumber went out to his truck, brought in the proper part and, did the repair for NO CHARGE!! The real surprise came about a month later. We had replaced the kitchen counter tops and garbage disposer with all new. The new disposer was at a different drain outlet height that the old one. I called A to Z for an estimate to re work the pipes to fit the new disposer. They came out an looked at the job, and said that the pipes needed to be re done. They tore out the old fittings and re measures and replaced them with new FOR NO CHARGE!! They did the work for no charge as a professional courtesy considering they had recently done work on the drain. They stand behind their work. They want to provide good service to keep their customers happy! A to Z would have been within theit rights to charge me, but instead they came out right away and took care of the problem free of charge. I highly recommend A to Z plumbing. They are a small family owned business, (sister answers the phone, Mom does the books), who want to keep their customers by treating them right. The next time I need a plumber, I will call A to Z.

Description of Work: Martin came out from A to Z plumbing; he cleaned out a stopped up kitchen drain, replaced a "widget" in my bathroom sink, and fixed my kitchen sink sprayer. He was on time, very polite, professional, told me what he was doing and why. He put booties over his shoes when coming in to my condo and was neat, and cleaned up after himself.

I have worked with A to Z Plumbing before the days of Angie's List, i.e. late '90s. They've always done a superb job and are extremely knowledgeable. I had to choose Sears for our tanked water heater as we were impressed with their Elite brand of products and were able to give us a year labor warranty if they installed it. (A to Z offered 30 days). That said, however, A to Z remains our family's one and only plumber, and we hire them for any sorts of plumbing works around the house. (We have a pending project to install a mixed temperature outlet on the side of the house). I despise the defection to Sears for the water heater, but I'm going with A to Z for that novel mixed temp outlet without question. UPDATE: after viewing the cost of Sears installation, and word of mouth from a couple of other homeowners, I did eventually select A to Z to do the installation of the Sears water heater. In short, they guys were neat, punctual, professional, and did a good job on the installation. Very happy I went with A to Z.
Description of Work: I had A to Z Plumbing drop by to give an estimate for a tankless water heater and installation of a purchased tank water heater. UPDATE: I purchased a water heater from Sears, and eventually did have A to Z perform the installation.
