ridiculous. nothing was accomplished after two days o n a Monday and then in a Thursday, Price was way to high $4000 and work that already was done , part of it was totally unnecessary and they destroyed the brass part of my sink where the water goes down. I am so upset. Finally, on Thursday Mark the plumber called the boss in to help locate the problem and it was totally different that they worked all day to find so a waster of my time, a mess with dirt , my closet was jack hammered which was unnecessary and dirt all over the place and now needs concrete to redo the floor and put carpet back. Call Friday m by Mark to say now it will be another $3000 to locate the tree root, jackhammer the downstairs floor, destroy some marble flooring, remove toilet to find root. Frankly, why did the plumber Mark not ask for the lead guy in the first pace and save me all this unnecessary grief and expenses. Nothing is fixed.

When my water heater decided to flood my garage Allen plumbing was there within hours. Office staff was very helpful, considerate, and professional. Mike had a new water heater installed and running in no time! No hassle or concerns and willing to explain things when needed. Will absolutely keep Allen Plumbing on speed dial.

We tried to replace an old leaky bathroom faucet ourselves but the old one was so corroded that we couldn't remove it. Brad came and replaced the connecting pipes and installed the faucet we had already purchased. He was here less than an hour.

All repairs performed as expected. Plumber made intelligent suggestions for cost-saving measures, showed how much money on labor would be saved by performing various repairs at the same time and gave tips for preventative maintenance to avoid problems in the future.

I am extremely happy with the work provided by this company. Allen Plumbing's staff was punctual and the price was considerablly lower than his competitors (I had four local plumbing companies quote the job prior to selecting Allen Plumbing). And, most importantly, the job was done professionally. I have complete faith in the quality of the work. I will call them again for any future plumbing needs.

It was kind of an emergency and he came right out. I thought $200 was a little expensive but he came and did the work. They gave me a 2 hour window and he came within the middle of that time. I was quite happy with the service he provided. I would try to get somebody cheaper but if I was desperate, I would use them again. He did a great job.

My neighbor, whom I trust, highly recommended Allen Plumbing to me a couple years ago when she had major plumbing problems stemming from faulty plumbing by the builder of our tract in Stevenson Ranch. She gave Allen Plumbing two thumbs up and was extremely happy with them. It's not everyday you hear that. So I called them recently for all my smaller to medium sized projects and I am so glad she recommended them! They sent out Mark who was awesome! (He has done alot of plumbing work for Joan Rivers in the past when he worked in Beverly Hills). He is very humble about it and I only found out because she came on TV while he was working and I commented about how good she looks at 80. Anyway he solved all the plumbing problems that I dreaded dealing with and I wonder why I waited so long to call. I will definitely use Allen plumbing again. They were pleasant, fast, trust worthy , provided excellent work at a very reasonable price. I may even consider copper piping the house someday to replace the cheap cvp inside the house. If I do I will use Allen plumbing. Meanwhile I would use them for repairs or installation of new appliances that are on my list.
Description of Work: Fixed 6 problems. Leaking Bath tub faucet and toilet/cut off and welded on new garden hose bib(old one rusted on and leaking badly)/replaced broken sprayer/rusted on kitchen faucet with beautiful modern one, replaced leaking flex hose from water main to house and water shut off wheel in garage that no longer shut off water to house, with a modern and effective quarter turn handle. Basically solved all my plumbing problems at once!

Water was flooding down the wall in our Dining room from the drain in our Master Bathroom Shower. There was a hole in the pipe and water was streaming. I called Allen and within 2 hours, they were there to inspect, quote and repair the drain. The quote was reasonable. The work was performed in a timely fashion. I have every reason to believe that the quality of this work will be excellent. I have been using Allen for several years, copper re-piped two houses with them along with other plumbing repairs and their work has always stood the test of time.

Mark said he would have to leave to purchase the required cartridge and returned in less than 30 minutes. He used a drop cloth to protect the bathroom tile floor. Being curious I watched Mark make the repair. This was OK with him; he actually turned it into a 'how to' lesson. Mark described each step in the disassembly, what details to pay attention to during tear-down, what tools were required and why a specialty tool was needed. The repair was completed in about 20 minutes. I give Mark and Allen Plumbing highest marks for communication, courtesy and quality.
Description of Work: I could not completely turn off the shower in our guest bathroom. The seals on cartridge in the Moen controller had taken a set from age and lack of use. Once the water was turned on, there was a slow trickle when the controller was returned to the 'off' position. I called Allen Plumbing on Thursday. They said they could not get to me until Friday after 2 PM. I turned off the water to the room to stop the flow. They called me around noon on Friday to see if it was OK to arrive a little early. Mark examined the problem and quoted me a price that I agreed to.

Our water heater was leaking. Looked through Angie's list and came up with Allen Plumbing. He was friendly, came out, looked at it and gave us an estimate. We shopped around and decided to go with a large department store, which was about the same price. After a fandango with the plumbing company the department store subcontracted with, we decided to give Allen Plumbing another call. He was there next day, on time, friendly, clean, helpful. Got the new water heater installed quickly. We called the gas company to have them inspect the set up, they said it was good. So, now we have a new water heater. We would totally use Allen plumbing again for future work. We were very happy we chose NOT to have the department store subcontractors put in our water heater because they kept saying our water heater was and quot;not up to codeand quot; and it would be hundreds more to bring it up to code before they could install it, which just wasn't true. Then they tried to sell us a water heater through them instead of the department store, something didn't smell right, so I looked them up on Angies list, bad bad bad. One of the reports said he had a big issue with a terrible installation and bad gas leak. Which actually is why I had the gas company come and check Allen Plumbings work. All was good. Hope this helps!

I was having work fixed at my mother's house from a plumber that did a horrible job, took advantage of her and disappeared. Allen plumbing was the last company I called for a quote. I walked Mark, plumber, through the areas of concern. He gave me an estimate lower than the others on the spot. Having worked with them before, I agreed to the price and Mark started within the hour after picking up materials. Within five hours another two guys showed up and the job was finished to perfection.
Description of Work: He replaced hot and cold water lines from water heater to the guest house and garage. He replaced gas pipe from main source to water heater. Approx. 40 ft of trenching and some concrete cutting. Also replace water heater cabinet.
