This is the second time I have used Valley Plumbing. The first time I had a gas line installed for a dryer and a new faucet installed in the kitchen. The charge for that service was 198.00. Shortly after I had to call them back as the kitchen faucet was completely loose. The plumber fixed it without charge. I called them again for a valve on a Bar-B-Que gas line. Some adjustments to bathroom faucets, and a toilet that was making noise. They suggested that I change parts inside the toilet. The toilet is 4 years old and Toto brand. I authorized the repair, they changed two parts on the toilet. The toilet since the repair did not fill well and was not emptying well. I called them back out on 06/11/2014 to check the work. The plumber said it was clogged and used the plunger. Afterwards, I flushed the toilet in his presence. The plumber said I was not holding the handle down long enough. I did not use a different technique of holding the handle than I did down prior to the repair on 06/06/2014. He was in my home for 10 minutes and wanted to charge me $154.00 for using the plunger. I refused to pay as it was a recall on their work and the toilet worked better before they repaired it. I would never use this company again and cannot recommend them.

I wanted to respond as soon as I saw this but I needed to get all the info on it before I did. On 1-24-14 we were called out to install a owner supplied kitchen faucet and a new gas valve for the dryer. Everything went well and the total was $198.05 for materials and labor to perform this work. On 4-15-14 you called and had explained that the kitchen faucet was loose that we had installed at the kitchen sink. Upon our arrival we found the owner supplied faucet was not loose at the sink but the faucet itself had loosened from the main frame of the fixture. This unit was not supplied by us but we did not charge for repairing the O.S. faucet. We were called out for a new call on 6-6-14 for checking the gas line at the BBQ and found that the gas valve was very hard to turn on and off and was in need of replacement. You also had us work on the upstairs MB Kohler lavie faucet due to a bad cartridge. After performing this change out you requested the handle be repositioned which our tech performed for you. The next request was to look at the HB toilet due to it being noisy and running. We found it to be leaking from the flapper upon our die testing of the unit. We replaced the flapper and the fill valve to repair this unit and die tested it to be sure it was repaired. This call was about $263.00 We received a call for the HB toilet not flushing well on 6-11-14. When the tech arrived he found toilet paper in the toilet and explained that if the toilet has a stoppage that he could clear it but this was not part of the original call from 6-6-14. He unplugged the toilet and tested the unit several times to see if there was something stuck in the toilet that could cause this to re-occur. After testing was done it was noted that when you were asked to flushed the toilet that you were not fully depressing the trip lever causing the toilet to not flush completely. The tech explained this but this did not make you happy. By our warrantee this did not fall under any of the work we had performed prior so that meant this was a new call. The tech explained that and you disagreed so it moved up to the supervisor. She talk with the tech and you and said we would cover the call as a "Customer Service" and you would not be charged. For some reason this still did not make you happy. Now we have this review of the problem and I believe we have done all we can. If you have more info for me and would like to talk it over I would love to hear what you have to say. I respect that you have a feeling that we should cover this from the start but based on what I have seen and have the understanding of all that happened I would not have change the way it went. My tech and his supervisors did what they should have in my opinion. Please tell me if I have missed something or how you would have liked to seen it handled from the start. Thank you, Mike Cheney President 925-462-1639 info@valleyplumbinginc.com

Took two visits, both prompt, courteous, and professional. (Ryan & Jason) Diagnosed the problem, started with the simplest remedy, moved on to the next remedy, which fixed the problem. Price was totally fair, including parts to repair leaky toilet valve. Super honest accounting of time and great work resulted in my being happy to pay the bill. Thanks Valley Plumbing!

I'm glad it was a quick fix and things went well. The cost is always an hour minimum for us to get the tech to you with all of his tools and materials ready to take care of your needs. If he finishes quickly ask them to do something more for you while he is there. You're paying for the hr so think of other things he can do for you to make best use of your time and money. That's what we are here for. Do make your life easier and do the things you don't want or can't do on your own. Thank you for your patronage.

This was my second opinion. Glad I asked. First quote was over $2000. This quote was half of that to do the same work. Ended up repairing the pipe with help of neighbor since I had already dug up most of the pipe. But Valley Plumbing came highly recommended and now I know why - they are honest, fair and knowledgeable. You can typically get two out of three, but they were the trifecta!

We called Valley Plumbing after discovering a leak in our water heater. We phoned in the morning and the technician was out with a new water heater within a couple of hours. Unfortunately for us it was a Saturday, so extra labor charges, but we were informed of that when we called. The technician was polite and kept the mess to a minimum. Not a fun item to spend money on, but happy with the service!

Thank you for your review. I always like to hear about how we rate and if everything is going as you would have liked. Tell others by going to other locations if you would be so kind. I have such great reviews by Angie's List followers but when it comes to other locations with star ratings it seams like we are the average joe. I respond to all complaints and work hard to make sure everyone is happy but there are some that I just can't reach. It would be very helpful to get the general public up to speed the way Angie's List members are with who we are and the great work we do. Thank you for your patronage.

Scheduled appointment for new commode installation and yesterday, when I called to confirm the appointment, the lady on line said " oh and by the way, there is a $70 charge to haul away the old commode. ". I promptly cancelled the appointment based strictly on principle. This would have been the third time I used Valley in last year or so, and it struck me wrong that they would do this. I think it had more to do that I had purchased my own Kohler commode, which did not allow them to over charge me for the fixture, thus, decreasing their profit. Really disappointing that I now have to find another reliable area plumber.
Description of Work: I scheduled an appointment to have a new commode I purchased installed in downstairs bathroom. The commode had been running for some time and I wanted a chair height commode anyway, rather than just replacing the tank "innards". Anyway had previously had Valley plumber out to diagnose a loud vibration in the pipes triggered by the commode running, but we're unable to recreate the vibration during that service call. By process of elimination and by turning the commode water supply valve off, the vibration stopped.

Thank you for your input. I am always happy to hear about the good and the bad that our customers have to say about what we are doing. I'm sorry to hear that we Struck a Bad cord with you on the haul away and disposal fee for your toilet and carton materials. This is a cost that we incur to have the tech haul off your materials and provide proper disposal of and/or recycling of the products. You are right, when you talk about the cost of doing this against if you purchased the products from us, we do the haul off at no extra cost. There are many advantages by purchasing products from us. One is that if we install something and you have a problem with it we come back at no cost to you to fix or replace it within our warranty period. If when we go to install a product that we supply and there is a part broken or missing then we stop our time and we take care of the problem. If you supply the product then you would have too while we stand by or set a time to come back. All of which would be charged to you at our labor rates. We see this happen a lot with products bought from other stores where parts are broken or just missing and the job comes to a stand still. Our prices are better than the standard. Our products are sold off our showroom floor for less than you may find at another Larger Big Box location. It is likely that there you would get little to no help in getting good information and help in making an educated decision on a product. There is a Value in that. I would hope that this is not enough of a problem that you can't see the value in our relationship to continue using us as your plumber? I am sorry that you had an issue and if you would like to talk further about it please call or email me. Thank you for your past patronage and I hope we can continue to be your go-to plumber in your times of need. Sincerely, Mike Cheney President 925-462-1639 info@valleyplumbinginc.com

We will never use this company again. Four days after we paid a hefty $135/hour (during normal business hours, not overnight emergency hours), our drains were backed up yet again. We naturally called the company back to try to get somebody to come back out and re-diagnose the problem. We were told we would be charged at the regular rate for additional work, and that the invoice clearly states there are no warranties on blockages. This was obviously very disappointing treatment. To be charged top dollar only to be told that they would not guarantee their work AT ALL, even four days later, seems like terrible business. We would not expect them to guarantee work that had been done a week or a month after the fact, but after barely 72 hours, I would hope they would come back out at no charge. What's worse is that we were never told ahead of time that there would be no guarantee on the work they did on our drains. I would have liked to have known this before hiring this company at all and certainly before allowing the work to proceed. The technician did stop prior to performing some of the repair work and let me know that it was going to be expensive and to make sure I knew how much they were billing per hour. It seems like if he wanted to caution me before proceeding, he ought to have let me know the work would not be guaranteed. In retrospect, it is clear this company only cares about getting paid--not about providing great service.
Description of Work: We had a leak in our front yard as well as a backed up drain. We were told that the two were unrelated. A technician was at our house for ~5 hours addressing both issues.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. When I first read this review I was appalled that we would have said and done what you had wrote. I had spoken to you on the phone several times gathering info and looking to see who was on the job. I looked into why you were told we did not guarantee stoppages, when we do. We guarantee stoppages when we can verify that the line was cleared of what cause the problem to begin with. This can be done visually or with our camera system. After looking into the two jobs we performed I found that the majority of the time was spent on the water line repair. From our conversation this was done correctly and you have had no problems with us or the work performed on that leak repair. Your grade does not reflect that part of the work done. Your recurring problem of a sewer back up is the issue. By talking with you, you stated that this has been a problem from when you moved into the home and occurs about once a year. My tech only cleared the line temporarily due to the lack of access to a clean out. The one you had inside the house, in the crawl space, under the house was not accessible with our large sewer machine. My tech failed to explain what he had done and that it needed further work to get it fixed. This was our mistake. After hearing and researching what had happened I repaid you for the charges of that work. I did not feel we performed our work properly and you should not have to pay for this due to that fact. I was notified of this review after the fact and I had hoped that after our extensive communication and looking further into this work we performed that you would adjust your review when you had a chance. Apparently I was wrong to expect this. If you just have not had the time to do so and you can that would be great. I am sorry we did not communicate with you so you could know what was still needing to be done to make the sewer problems not return. Thank you for the review because it helps us to become a better company by correcting any problems that arise. If we can do anything more please call or email me.

After having a new furnace and heater installed I needed an automatic gas shutoff valve installed on the gas meter in order for the project to pass the Town of Danville inspection. I called 3 plumbers to quote the job and while Valley wasn't the least expensive they earned my business because: 1. They arrived on time 2. Their employee was knowledgeable and well spoken 3. Their motto is "Integrity before profits" and it is emblazoned on their truck 4. They left me with a Welcome Packet that provided information on their business and included a $10 coupon for future business The bids I received were $285.00, $332.00 and $400.00. I chose Valley and went with their $332.00 bid and used my $20 Angie's List coupon bringing the cost down to $312.00 The appointment was for today, between 6:30am and 9am. Kirk showed up at 7:15am and was polite and professional - even in the bitter cold this morning. He completed the work in about an hour, showed me how to use the new equipment and left me with the proper paperwork. I would not hesitate to use this company again in the future.

No fuss, muss, or damage to the flower beds. I'll definitely call them for a plumbing need, and look into using them for other services they provide.
Description of Work: Drains we're running slow and I called to make an appointment. And got one that afternoon. Gave me a two hour window. The y called when in route and arrived at the earliest original appointment time. The service person was professional and polite. We both remembered his having out several years ago. He promptly got to work and was done in less than 45 minutes.

I love to hear our tech was someone you have seen before. It's highly likely that you will see a tech again and again through the years due to the fact that we have a great retention rate. We have employees that have been with us for over 15 years. A good handful for over 10 years and about 5 of them under 5 years. Out of about 20 employees, we think that is very good and we are proud to be an employer that takes great thought in who we hire. It has to work for all three of us. You (the customer), them (the employee) and us (the business). Thank you for letting us serve your plumbing needs. If we can do anything better please email or call me to tell me how. Have a great holiday season and a Happy New Year!! Mike Cheney President 925-462-1639 info@valleyplumbinginc.com

Sounds like things went well. Thank you for taking the time to tell us and others how we performed. If you are unable to get a new one from Grohe under warrantee tell us and we will see what we can do for getting a replacement head. We may have something in stock or we can order it for your unit. Thank you for your patronage. Mike Cheney President 925-462-1639 info@valleyplumbinginc.com

THANK YOU!! I wish I could get the same response from the majority of my reviews on Yelp and Google+. I guess it has to do with the quality of the reviewers. Angie's List members ROCK!! Thank you for your review and if there is anything more we can do better please tell me. Have a great day!! You just made mine that much better. :) Thank you for your patronage.

They gave me a 12-4 window. I let them know the only time I couldn't be there was a 15 minute window when I had to pick up my daughter. They told me the only time they could come was the time I couldn't be there. I waited almost for hours and they pushed me back until the bottom of the hour. I am so disappointed. The time I had to spent waiting for their service was unnecessary and now I have to do more research to find a plumber after I have already waited a week to have them come out. I am extremely dissatisfied. I had to take off of work and miss an entire day of pay to wait on these people and they just don't seem to realize what I had to deal with to accommodate a plumbing service.
Description of Work: They were supposed to come out today.

I would first off like to say I'm sorry to hear things didn't work out and that we were unable to accommodate your time line that you required. Having children in school and other functions that you need to taxi them to and from can be very difficult. I just spoke to my dispatchers about what had occurred with us trying to get a tech to your home at a time that would work for you to let us perform the requested work needed while you were home. Time windows are not something we like to have to do but they are a must in our industry, do to the inability to know how long the job before yours is going to take and so on. The more work done prior to yours the more the time can change from one job to the next. I could go on and on with descriptions of what can change the time a tech does one job to get to the next but know one wants to read all that Bla, Bla, Bla. Simply put, unless we schedule you as the first call of the day the time that we can say the tech will be at your home has to be in a wider time frame to account for, travel times and jobs that take less or more time than was planed. We do thing like a call be for we come to help make things easier for customers to get home or to know when we are coming. We have techs that start at 6:30AM and others that start at 7:45AM. Those start of the day calls are in high demand and go quickly. A start time of 6:45 to 9 or an 8 to 9 can be a way to eliminate the problems with a busy schedule or making it so you are not having to take time off work. We are Lic. and Bonded and all of my techs are screened and very trust worthy. A large number of them have worked for us for more then 10 years. We have a large number of clients that we have access codes or keys to enter into homes with out anyone needing to be home to take care of their needs. This comes with time and seeing who are techs are before clients become comfortable with doing something like this, I know. We changed the time to try and be to your home when you wanted us too several times too no avail. I'm again, sorry to see that you wrote this review with no mention of all that we did to try to accommodate you but I'm sure that you likely wouldn't have noticed or known all of what was going on behind the scenes to know what it takes to do this. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I like to know how our customers perceive all that we do. This helps us to become a stronger company and a better company for everyone involved. If we can get the time line down to accommodate you we would love to help take care of your plumbing needs. Thank You, Mike Cheney President 925-462-1639 info@valleyplumbinginc.com

Lapse in having a current Business license in my city. I was not able to secure an appointment to have an inspection after having to get my own building permit (they told me they would secure for me) After several days & calls to Valley Plumbing, they finally did renew their license in my city. I will now be able to get it inspected. Frustrating & I had to take time off work to deal with this.
Description of Work: Installed a new 50 gallon water heater to replace our broken one

I'm very disappointed in my team for letting you down. I hoped that you would except letting us take care of the cost of the permit and to keep you from having to do anything more with this. If you didn't let us do this for you or you have already taken care of it, again I am very sorry you had to go through that. It was our mistake and they should have taken your information and gotten it handled right away. I have taken measures to prevent this from occurring again. I know this doesn't help you but I can only fix what I know is broken. Again, if I can do anything more, Please let me know. Mike Cheney President 925-462-1639 info@valleyplumbinginc.com

Very professional and friendly staff. Little bit pricy but nice quality work. I like that they have own trained staff (no third party contractor) for installation.
Description of Work: They did install new toilet.

I called in the evening the night before, when we discovered the leak. In the morning I received a call that they could fit me in at 10, but moments after that they called and said the plumber could come now as he'd finished a job early. The plumber seemed very capable, and was courteous and professional. He did not get annoyed with my youngest trying to watch him and he even let her help a bit. The work went well, and we were satisfied with the outcome. We plan to do some more work with them in the future.
Description of Work: While fixing a leak under our house, the provider noticed our house was undersized with 1/2" pipes for the hot and cold lines, rather than 3/4". He fixed the leak, and switched part of the hot line up to the right size. We will finish with the work at another time.
