Unfortunately I caught him at a time when he was knee deep (literally) in two other large projects. He did come out after hours to plug the shower arm so I could have water until the Kohler valve was available for pick up.As soon as he got the valve he had two of his employees come out and replace the valve. They were as professional as he is. They do cover thier shoes and they do a complete clean up. The price may seem high but the quality of service in my opinion makes it worth it.
Description of Work: Replaced shower valve after several times fixing the Grohe valve I had in orginally. This was totally Grohes problem with two small parts within their valve system that three times proved defective. We (Tim and I) decided to just go ahead and replace with a Kohler and stop trying to nurse the Grohe.

Tim showed up on time for our estimate which was free. He inspeceted the system including the panels on the roof. He took all of the necessary information and measurments and said he would get back to me with quotes for replacing the water heater and storage tank and also just cleaning the old storage tank to be reused per my request. With in a coiuple of days I had professional quotes for all work requested. I made the choice to have the 80 gallon storage tank replaced per the quote. Tim and I agreed on a date to do the work. They were right on time to start the job.The job went very well. Tim and his assistant were very professional. They even covered their shoes with covers when they entered the house. The only problem they had was a defective part inside the new water heater which forced them to return the next day to finish. Tim explained that he would do what ever was necessary to get the part and be back in th morning. He was back as promised and the job was completed. The system works great. I would recommend The Green Plumber and will use them again when I need a plumber.
Description of Work: We had a 25 to 30 year old solar water system with an 80 gallon storage tank that needed replacing. All of the valving required for the solar water heatindg was frozen and carroded. The 40 gallon water heater was making popping sounds which meant it was at the end of it's life also. We had a new 80 gallon tank installed with all new solar plumbing. We had a new 40 gallon water heater installed. All new earthquake strapping for both tanks.We had a circulation pump installed for instant hot water in the house. We also had a vent valve installed at the solar panels.

I thought he was very honest and knowledgable. In the end, it didn't make sense for us to switch to a tankless water heater for cost reasons but had we decided to do so, I would have used the Green Plumber.
Description of Work: Came to my house and gave me an estimate for replacing my tank water heater with a tankless heater.

We looked for and found a plumber that met and exceeded our expectaions. We first contacted Timothy at The Green Plumber to find out about installation of a graywater recycling system. We found the proposed project information given was straightforward and easy to understand and within our budget, but we decided to wait until our landscaping was redesigned before going ahead with that installation. Good thing we aquainted ourselves with this company, because when our water heater went out, we called the green plumber out to give us some options. We decided to replace the tank style with a tankless water heater with a hot water recirculation pump. The contractor's warranty on all parts they installed was for a full two years parts and labor. The crew was very very tidy, using drop cloths, paper runners and shoe covers to protect our floors. The workers were polite and respectful of our home and pets. They let us know when the water would be shut off and turned back on. The heater works well, there is hot water at the shower without waiting (not like before), and it uses less gas than the old unit. The inspection by the city was completed and all was approved. All in all, this company exceeded our expectations. We are very happy with this contractor and would highly recommend him and his crew to other homeowners.
Description of Work: We replaced our tank style water heater with a high efficiency tank style unit, along with a hot water circulating pump. A rusted drain pipe under the house was also repaired.

The Green Plumber (Timothy Collier) was highly responsive to our calls - we had tried to go through other vendors but were frustrated when they did not call back. Timothy was very candid and informative when we spoke on the phone regarding the permitting and installation process. Timothy was quick to turn around the contract and apply for permits. He did not ask for any upfront payments. I checked Timothy's installation price with the manufacturer of the water heater who told me he thought the price was very fair (even before considering the government incentives we received). During the installation of the unit, I had several change requests (the installation of several water meters etc.). Timothy made the changes without trying to renegotiate our agreement. What impressed us the most was when we discovered a leak on a Saturday morning, over one week after the install, Timothy immediately drove to our house to fix the problem - he lives in Long Beach and our home is in the Hollywood Hills. I believe that reflects a true commitment to customer service.
Description of Work: Installation of solar thermal water heater to compliment our existing gas-powered tank water heater. Unit was provided via special grant under the California Clean Air Commission - as such, our total spend was greatly reduced in a way that is unlikely to be repeated by other customers: we effectively got the solar-thermal water heater for free and only had to pay for 75% of installation costs.
