Description of Work: The plumbing technician who worked on my home, Miguel Rodriguez, was absolutely first rate. He was fast, efficient, did a great job, and the pricing was very fair. This is the first time I used Bill Howe Plumbing and the service they provided was head and shoulders above others I have worked with. I would highly recommend them and Miguel in particular.

Description of Work: They came out and replaced the stoppers on both her toilets and a couple weeks later they were both leaking again, she reached out to them to get them to fix the problem and they wouldn't budge on fixing it for her. She asked to speak to a supervisor and they told her that they had to speak to the supervisor themselves, after waiting around and 4-5 phone calls later, she was told that there was nothing that they could do about it unless she paid again. She isn't happy with how things were resolved.

Thank you for the feedback. The original service was in December 2014. The parts were fully under warranty, but the labor warranty was out by 4 months. We quoted labor charges, as is policy when it is not a labor issue. Best- Julie R.

Description of Work: Three times I have had Bill Howe Plumbing out at various times and jobs to bid job. ALWAYS the highest bid. One time this young man half my age kept winking at me and telling me he'd give me a good price. Very weird and unprofessional. THEN, his bid came in higher than anyone elses. I think his name was Sean.

Description of Work: Had a problem with my A/C. They fixed the compressor. Cost $900 for a capacitor and refrigerant flush. They told me the control board was working properly but a few days later it started acting up again. In summary, I felt the service was expensive.

Thank you for the feedback. We would happily revisit any job if something was not fixed correctly. I don't see where we diagnosed any issues with the control board, and if it was in working order would not be bale to make a repair at the time. Our techs should also be quoting before work, so you are fully aware of charges prior to service. Thank you, Julie

Description of Work: My house was lacking a water pressure regulator, and the water pressure was higher than it should have been. A water pressure valve was added. Also, a flap was replaced in one of my toilets so now it is more efficient in the amount of water used. |The plumber was professional, explained what he was going to do and the cost, did the job efficiently, arrived within 15 minutes of the time frame given. All was working fine. A few days later the flap wasn't working right. They came right out to fix it- the chain had some how gotten on the wrong side, and I wasn't sure how to fix it.

Description of Work: Their plumber did a nice job leveling our toilet and fixing a minor pipe leak under the house. The pipe was somewhat difficult to get to as he had to crawl on his hands and knees to get to its location. The work done was very good. I had work done by Bill Howe before that when a pipe burst under the house. They were very responsive and did an excellent job fixing it.
