It went great. These guys are pros. I had received multiple estimates. They weren't the most inexpensive (I worry sometimes about going with the cheap guys... you get what you pay for), but they were very competitive and fast. Nick is a really nice guy. They were very respectful. They took care not to damage anything and cleaned everything up when they were finished. I had previously been trying to get our home warranty to cover but they wouldn't. Long story but the dopes they sent out originally were confused about the type of water heating setup I have (it's a condo built in 2005.. it can't be that confusing) and wanted to charge $1000 more. ACE plumbing didn't miss a beat... tracked down a water heater and had it replaced in no time. I was pressed too as we were traveling on vacation within a few days.
Description of Work: Hot water heater, piping and conduit replaced.

We got off to a rocky start because of small space. But this company lead by a truly honest and trusty owner did what they said they would do. You can take what is promised by this company to the bank. What a refreshing experience

Updated - when we first had this problem, Jim came by and fixed it. Over the course of a few months, the problem reappeared. I called ACE back and before I knew it, Jim was back at our door. 10 minutes later, he had readjusted the set up and apologized that it didn't hold the first time. Great service. Highly recommended. Initially I had thought the price was high, but now that I've seen their willingness to fix the problem, and do it quickly and with a smile, I realize the extra few bucks was well worth it. ****** I called ACE in the morning and told them I wouldn't be available until 3pm. They scheduled us for the afternoon and Jim showed up 10 minutes early for the appointment. It was a relatively quick fix...he replaced some washers and checked all the other seals. All looks great, and Jim offered to come back if we noticed any leaks shortly. My slightly negative experience was around the price. They offered my the Angie's List discount, but it still seems like an expensive fix for 15 minutes of work. I've seen that they are competitively priced, so perhaps this is the going rate...but it just seemed a little costly for such a small effort. Regardless, I will call ACE again if other plumbing issues arise.
Description of Work: We had a problematic pipe under our kitchen sink that kept leaking. I've been fixing it for the past few months and my efforts would hold for a few months, then it would need some readjustment. I finally gave up and called in the professionals.

There are too many stories to tell about all the stuff they have done for me, but it has always gone smoothly. Once there was an issue (I think they accidentally damaged something) but they totally stepped up, took accountability and made it right. This is what real customer service is all about. They are in it for the long haul.
Description of Work: Ace is the only plumber I use - I have used them for years from everything from simple snaking of my shower, to replacing all the plumping in a remodeled bathroom, to replacement of my water heater and garbage disposal. They really are the best. I HIGHLY recommend Joe Tinsely and I request him each time I need service. He is a very very knowledgeable plumber and always does excellent work for a reasonable price. I really trust his recommendations and he is really why I am so loyal to Ace. I have had others do work as well, and they are good too, but Joe is the best.

Overall, Ace Plumbing (Monte specifically) provided excellent service. For me personally, I decided to engage Ace because in addition to their many positive reviews on Angie's List, they offer e-mail communication. I happen to have a condition that makes it difficult for me to speak clearly over the phone. So for me to spell out my situation in print rather then trying to make myself understood verbally was a welcomed relief.
Description of Work: I had had other plumbers take a look at my ancient, ailing bathroom: two leaky faucets, a difficult to flush toilet and a "mystery" leak under my bear club bathtub. Finally, a proper diagnosis! It took the "technician" a few days to obtain the needed fixtures (a new pipe, two new faucets and a new flushing handle for my toilet). The actual installation of these "fixes" was accomplished in a little over an hour. Everything works!

He was friendly, polite and thorough. He took considerable time to review other past issues we had mentioned and investigate the potential causes, before ruling out the main sewer as the issue and avoiding unnecessary additional expense of scoping. We were pleased with the service provided and would use Ace again in the future.
Description of Work: We had a problem with a blocked outlet from our washing machine. The plumber checked all drains to validate the cause of the problem and eliminated the main sewer as the problem and diagnosed the issue as a lint build up. He snaked the drain and cleared the issue.

It was fine, not seamless but just good enough.
Description of Work: Installed a new toilet. Technician was over an hour late but at least called to say so prior. Not a problem. Broke the handle on the toilet during installation and had to go purchase a new one so it took longer than expected. The toilet seat is the cheapest piece of junk you can imagine and though it was brand new showed marks of wear and scuffing straight out of the box. I'll replace it sooner rather than later but that must be factored into the overall value.

Description of Work: This was an emergency late afternoon visit. My water heater gave out and needed to be replaced. This company was kind enough to send out a tech within 1/2 hour. They had the size water heater I needed and everything was replaced and working that evening. No problems. No worries.

Called Monday and plumber was available for next day. Called early in day to ask if he could come 1 hour early. Arrived on time and finished all work in about 1 hour. Explained everything; cleaned up promptly; worked quickly. Everything -- including price -- was better than expected.
Description of Work: On ground floor bathroom sink was filling w/water whenever we ran the dishwasher and used the kitchen sink at the same time (1 floor above). First snaked the bathroom sink, but ran dishwasher and kitchen sink and problem persisted. Cleaned kitchen sink drain line w/100 machine and pulled out lots of grease. Fixed a toilet fill tube and aerator in another bathroom. We had him look at rebuilding a couple of faucets in a 50 year old bathroom, but advised that it was unlikely to work, and that it might require much more expensive repairs. We elected to think about that before proceeding.

The crew showed up at 8:00AM to dig out and remove the concrete and dig the trench to get to the old sewer pipe and had it out in just a few hours. Before they left that first day, they installed the new sewer line so we were able to use our water and wash room by early evening. As far as i could tell, everything went smoothly for them. The crew was friendly and informative and courteous during the entire process. The concrete work was done with great care and professionalism as well.
Description of Work: Joe, Shawn and their crew of courteous and professional men replaced my sewer line from within my garage to the street. They removed the driveway concrete as well as a line of concrete in the garage, dug down to the sewer line and replaced it with cast iron piping all in one day. The old pipes were full of roots as expected. After inspection, they put the dirt back in and had the entire driveway resurfaced with hog wire and concrete. It looks amazing. Joe and Shawn also replaced my 20 year old water heater with a brand new one. The project was completed in 5 days and they cleaned up the area after they were done. The entire process for us was painless. Because they replaced the pipe in one days time, we had no interruption of water service. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with such a major project. Joe was very fair and up front with the cost and how much time it would take to complete. They were also very punctual. I would highly recommend them and I will definitely use them again should the need arise.

My initial experience left something to be desired; however, the owner called me personally and came out to fix the issue I had originally. As I tell my employees; everyone makes mistakes so what defines a customer's experience is how we respond to those mistakes. Ace did a great job of responding and definitely changed my impression. The toilet installation went smooth and was quick as well. Thanks for a job well done!

bing!both w They came (ON TIME!!!!!) They saw (And kept looking until they discovered the problem !!!!!!) They took OWNERSHIP of our concern and problem. They "Thought OUTSIDE OF THE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and solved the real problem!!!!!!!!!!!! They stayed on the job until the job was COMPLEATLY FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!! They cleaned up really well!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They charged me a very (EXTREAMLY FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!) Price for a job very well done!!!!!!!!!!!!! I recomend ACE to everyone out there who have (Like us) had privious bad experiences with local plumbing companies. I do this beacause you ALL deserve to see what dealing with an EXCELLENT plumbing company can be like! I am happy, can you tell?
Description of Work: My wife and I have a few properties in and around the Bay Area. I can tell you that over the years we have had our share of rotten dishonest plumbers! For this reason we decided that to avoid any more heart break, we would try a recomendation from Angies list. I tell you that this is the second best decision we ever made! The first best decision was to use Angies recomendated plumbers, ACE Pluming! Ace (represented by Nick) showed up on time, worked all day on the problem and fixed it! This excelent work was also done for a very fair price! WOW, I want you to know that I am delighted! Two other plumbing companies came out before ACE, both hardly looked at the problem, and both said that they would need to tear out the floor, replace the pipes (for thousands of dollars). Nick (The "ACE" man) listened to my explanitation of the problem, and actualy set to work on the problem. Three hours later (and less than $300.00) and Nick had solved the problem! No floors torn up, no "Thousands of dollars spent", Like I said, "These guys are GREAT!!" We will call Ace for all of our plumbing needs in the future, I highly recommend you do the same!

I contacted ACE Plumbing and Rooter, never having had worked with them before. When my hot water heater of about 10 years sprung a leak, I contacted a plumber with whom I have a relationship, however he was unable to come to my house for another two days. I decided to check Angie's List, and was pleased to read about ACE. The attendant who took my call was professional, but offered regrets that he didn't have someone available until the following day. I had never dealt with a leaking water heater, so asked him if he (or a technician) could give me guidance until a plumber could come out. I was place on hold for literally 10 seconds when one of the plumbers got on the line, mentioned he wasn't working today, but was happy to come by to check things out. In 15 minutes, Joe swooped in, diagnosed the problem and gave me a very fair price for the work, especially considering he arrived on a Saturday in what seemed like a moments notice. He returned in an hour and a half (exactly when he said he would) with a new water heater and installed it. He was professional, lovely to interact with, and a lifesaver! I couldn't have had a better experience. You can't always believe everything you read, but you can believe the Angie's List reviews of ACE Plumbing and Rooter. Thank you again!
