Description of Work: My husband called this company to do some work on our bathroom toilet and tub. We were told the plumber would show up on Saturday between 9-10. Not only didn't he show up, we never even got a call saying he was unable to come. He finally did call on Sunday, but we have decided not to use this company.

Response from Hi-Performance Plumbing
I set up the call with these nice people for Saturday morning, found out Saturday morning when I tried to look up address that the husband had given wrong address. I called right after that to get right address and customer didn't pickup the phone I left message explaining the problem that I couldn't come by till I got the right address. Didn't hear back from them till later that day and we set up the call for wednesday, customer was fine with that. I received a message on my voicemail that day saying they wanted to cancel that they found another Plumber. All I have to say is my reputation and past history with customers and comments and my overall A grade speak for themselves! G.B!

Overall, it went perfectly. Before Steve came out to the job, he estimated it would take no more than three hours provided there were no unforeseen problems. He also called a half hour before he came to let me know he was on the way. He was very polite the whole time. The only additional work that was needed once he came out were thee new heavy-duty earthquake straps and the relocation of the recirculating pump because of a slightly different new waster heater. After performing all these tasks and thoroughly cleaning up the area, it still took Steve only three hours for the entire job. I was very impressed. He even took away the large carton that the water heater came in, not leaving it for me to discard. I will use him again if needed and highly recommend him to anyone that asks me for a referral. It's not often you can find a reliable, polite, honest, efficient, knowledgeable and considerate plumber.
Description of Work: Steve was asked to replace my seven year old water heater. It was still under warranty so he first had to remove it, return it to the hardware store while my wife purchased the new one, bring the new water heater back to my home and install it. Additionally, he found out after bringing the new water heater from the store to my home, that he would have to install new heavy duty earthquake straps and he would have to relocate the recirculating pump by un-soldering and re-soldering the pipes for it. The old earthquake straps were definitely flimsy and not strong enough to anchor the tank.

Stephen returned my call quickly, was able to schedule an appointment in only a few days. On the day of the appointment, he called in advance to say he was running late unexpectedly and gave an estimated time of arrival. Even though he was only going to be a few minutes later than this, he called again to let me know. I was stunned - no one ever calls when they are late! He wore booties over his work boots to keep my house clean. He looked at all my problems and told me exactly what I did and did not need, and explained why. He answered all my questions about other work I thought I might need. He had another person with him, George and they were very clean and careful. They spent about 2 hours doing the work and were kind and engaging with my 4 year old son who wanted to watch and ask questions. I will definitely use him for other work in the future.
Description of Work: Repaired 3 toilets that were constantly running or did not function properly, removed an unused gas pipe sticking up out of my patio.

This was an emergency situation. Our new tenant's u-haul has been sitting outside the house, costing $80/day. The new dishwasher could not be installed until we had a plumber out. Steve was completely booked for a week, but when we explained our situation, he squeezed us in towards the end of a long, hot day. Because the hardwood floors were being refinished, Steve could not run a water line to the new refrigerator. He's going to squeeze us in on Tuesday (after Labor Day)--and we will submit another (glowing) report. Steve is better than a doctor--he makes house calls!
Description of Work: Steve arrived exactly when he said he would. He covered our newly installed kitchen floor with a mat and towels. He discussed what needed to be done, then ran 1/2" copper wire (hot) from the water heater for our dishwasher supply. This is an older home with all the odd, interesting kinks. Steve handled the challenges with efficiency and aplomb. He worked nearly 2 hours, and charged only $165. If we could figure out a way to FedEx him to northern California, we would!

I called Steven. He came over within 20 minutes. He got the job done better than necessary and spent more than an hour doing it. He charged us the minimum one hour charge, $67. I'm sticking with this guy. He's really thorough and more than fair.
Description of Work: My garbage disposal was stuck. I know how to unstuck them but this one was bad and I had to call a plumber. After he cleared the disposal, in order to do a very thorough job, Steve took the disposal out, cleaned it outside and reinstalled it. It works perfectly now.

The plumber arrived a half hour early which was fine. I think I was his first or second stop of the day. The work required the plumber to go underneath the house through an access in a closet. He was very mindful about keeping the area clean, as the dirt under the house is very fine and seems to get everywhere. He then fixed the other two problems with ease. He understood what I needed and what was required to fix the problems. I didn't tell him about these other problems in my initial call, but he didn't mind taking the extra time to fix them when I brought them up. I will definitely call this company again for my future plumbing issues (which I seem to have a lot of lately!)
Description of Work: We had a bad case of water hammer. The pipes would bang around under the house when a faucet in a tub was opened. That same tub also had a broken drain plug and the valve that diverts the water to the shower head was stuck shut, so we couldn't use the shower. All of these points were fixed.

I called Steve and arranged to have him come out the next day. He arrived right on time. His work was very professional and efficient. Cleaned up the area after finishing. He wore foot coverings when entering the house, which was a nice touch that I had not seen with other plumbers in the past. I will definitely use him again.

I was in a bit of a pinch. My 'usual' plumber, was 'just too busy' for a routine plumbing job. I went to Angie's List and saw that Steve Hume had received an 'Angie Award' for 2006. I also looked at 2 others but once I spoke with Steve, decided to just go with my gut. I was not disappointed. He was running late and CALLED me ahead to update his arrival time. He was very professional and even though the job took longer than I WANTED, he fixed the problem. He also provided me with a name of an individual to fix my ceiling and also does tiles in the bathroom. I would recommend Steve.
Description of Work: He examined the damaged area and assessed where the leak stemmed. He replaced the tub drain piece and another pipe. He had to break in to the ceiling below to assess and inform me of such. All of this was expected. He was very thorough and cleaned up afterwards.

Steve showed up at the prearranged time and got to work right away. He wore a uniform and looked and acted very professional. He drove a clean white van and explained what he was doing to my wife and I. The joints on the copper fitting were very clean and they were all prepped correctly before soldering. The work was performed in less than 40 minutes.
Description of Work: Replace a leaking copper fitting. Remove the old fitting and solder new copper fixture to cold water pipe in ceiling.

Steve and his men were very careful about tracking mud into the condo. They laid plastic throughout the house. He was prompt, very professional, and reasonable. Since we were on a tight schedule, they worked very long hours to meet the deadline. I was very pleased with his work. I highly recommend him and plan on using him in the future.
Description of Work: Steve checked the pipes with a camera. He found a break in the pipes and corrosion. The condo is on a slab foundation. He had to drill through the cement foundation in the bedroom and replace the pipes that were corroded. The dirt around the pipes was gone. It was like a big sink hole. Then he had to dig even further to replace the pipe that was broken. The broken pipe was connected to the main sewer line and he had to dig up part of the driveway (in the rain). We were on a tight schedule because a new tenant was moving in. They placed the water heater on a platform and they replaced an outside faucet head.
