Pete the Plumber came prepared with extra piping. They really knew what they were doing. Home Depot were going to be $125 just to install and who knows if they would have come prepared with extra pipe in the event of it needing to be replaced.
Description of Work: I purchased a garbage disposal and I called them on Thursday to install it. They came out Friday afternoon to install it. It turned out I needed an entire pipe replaced as well. They installed that and replaced the pipe for $134.

They were called to replace a shower hot water valve. When they arrived they did not have the tool needed to remove it and I did not offer a replacement. I purchased a new valve and called them out. They came back and once again did not have the tool. When they came back to do the job, the plumber broke a piece of my custom granite tile leaving a 1 1/4 inch hole visible. I contacted the the office and was told they refused to repay me for the damage and would not get someone else to do it. She told me I was too small a customer to bother. Mind you I had used their company along with my neighbor for 10+ years. When I spoke to the owner he just laughed and told me I was not worth the effort. At the same time of the first call we also had them change an outside water faucet head. It took them 10 mins. They charged us $120.00 for this service @ 2 people @ $60.00 each. Checking with the California Contractors Lic Board, neither of the men were lic Plumbers and one did not speak a word of english. At the time I was not aware I could file a claim with them and thus ended up paying $200.00 for the repair.
Description of Work: Replace a shower hot water valve and replace an exterior hose bit.

I had a dripping faucet that I needed to have fixed. The technician told me that all faucets of this type drip until what is in them is emptied. He said he would take a look at it. The thing is I have two other faucets of this type and neither of them are still dripping 24 hours after their last use. Of course this faucet is still dripping and I am waiting for another plumber this morning.

I found them on Angie's List and researched by location. First one I called. I called them around 10 AM and I got a friendly efficient receptionist right away. Explained my problem- no hot water and in dire need of a plumber ASAP. The hot water was drizzling out but we had cold water which was strange. Receptionist was calm and scheduled me with someone and was very receptive to my needs. She explained soonest she could have someone would be 2 PM but if something opened up she would call me. An hour later she called me and something opened up. She would have someone within the hour. Less than an hour later the plumber came. Excellent service and professionalism. Plumber came on schedule. Researched the problem and fixed quickly. Lastly he showed me specifically what the problem was, how he fixed it, etc. so that he explained how it priced out. Have hot water again which is wonderful. Highly recommend them and will def use again.
Description of Work: Had lack of hot water. The plumber went around the house and found the water heater. Checked the pipes and discovered there was a problem with the piping of the water heater. Put new pipes and problem fixed.

I called for the servie to be done at my work. He did not see me. Instead, he saw someone else (who was not familiar with the problem) and finished the work. I needed to talk to the technician because I was concerned about something related. He left and I did not find out about it until I called to ask when he would be coming. I told him that there might be leveling problem with the pipe (out end is slightly higer than in point causing back flow). He said he saw water in the drain thus he assured there was no such worry. It turned out later that my worry was right and we had flood of water under the A/C. I hired someone else who did more through job and solved the problem. The technician seemed he did not want to spend time but do a qucik job. He should have try to see the client who requested the service and he should have pay more attention to the problem.

the plumbers were incredibly nice and friendly but the work was inefficient and overpriced. they were very thorough and helpful, and i imagine the jobs presented unexpected complications. still, 6 hours @ $125 for a toilet and a garbage disposal installation is ridiculous and i wouldn't use them again. one of the women in the office was super helpful and went out of her way to find me an affordable specialty product. another,deborah, was difficult to work with and unrealistically assumed i was familiar with plumbing problems, products, and terms.

Their rates are pretty reasonable. They always do good and professional job. They get your job done, no matter how tough it is. I would recommend them. The people who come are always friendly and easy to get along with. They are very prompt and punctual. They do good quality work. They have a really good system. You call them up and they come to know in their system, what work you have done within last five years. They can refer back and tell you what work had you done on a day. They make you feel important. They may be a little pricey. I would definitely use them in the future.

Overall, plumbers Beto and Albert did a very good, qualiity, job. Installing the vent was difficult because air conditioning pipes were in the way. The plumbers were very inconvenienced physically crawling around the crawl space under the house. Every thing came out fine.

i called a "rapid response" company out of the yellow pages. i picked a local number to hopefully get quicker service. they were an hour late. after arriving it seemed they needed to do more than just run a snake through the clog. thats when it got ugly.they began to replace some pipes with plastic ones that did not seem to fit .after sawing and banging for 1 1/2 hrs. they created a leak that did not exist before and did not clear clog.they did not have the parts needed and said they would return next day.after an hour late i called and was told that it would be the next day at 4pm because parts were not picked up. i called at 4:30 and was told plumber would be there in 40 minutes, i said forget it! i called Pete the plumber . Manny showed up on time replaced pipes ,sink drain ,cleared clog and was gone in an hour,total pro! Thanks a million!

I could smell gas, but couldn't tell where it was coming from so I called the Gas Co. They came out fixed the problem on their end and told me to call a plumber for a second gas leak. I logged onto Angie's List found Pete The Plumber and called them up. They came out right away, looked at everything and decided they would need a whole day to get it done so we scheduled an appt. for the the following morning. They showed up right on time and worked for hours. Chris kept us up updated with everything that was going on, explained where the problem was and how he was going to fix it. They finished the job and cleaned up. Everyone was extremely nice and professional. I'm relieved to have a plumber I can call at anytime and know that the work will be done right and I won't get ripped off.

It was frustrating they couldn't fix at first try, but they needed an expert and I appreciated that first guy did not fix without proper knowledge. Great work. Will use them again.
Description of Work: I had a back up in my sink that required two visits from Pete's plumbers. They showed up on time, were diligent in fixing the problem. They did not charge me for first visit when they were unable to fix the problem. They showed up on time the second visit and billed HOA directly. Plumber explained situation clearly and took extra time to clean up afterward. Very easy to deal with and honest. They are my only plumber.
