About us

JOIN OUR PLUMBING FAMILY TODAY Plumbing problems are some of the most common issues that a homeowner will face. Plumbing is also one job that many people choose not to tackle on their own. Sometimes a problem is simple and can be fixed easily, while other times the job may require the help of a professional. Without the knowledge of a skilled plumber, it can be difficult to know how big of a project you are getting yourself into, and it can be even more difficult to fix the problem right the first time. No matter how big or small the job may be, for those living in the greater Los Angeles area, the professional technicians of Reckon & Reckon Plumbing are there to help. At Reckon & Reckon Plumbing, it is our goal to become the service you call whenever you have any type of plumbing problem. We have been in business since the 1920's, and we pride ourselves on gaining the trust of our customers and becoming their family plumbers. Our technicians are highly-trained, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, clean, and respectful individuals, and it is their goal to provide the solution you need in the most timely and cost effective manner possible. They come to your home with fully-stocked work vehicles and state of the art plumbing equipment, which means that they will not need to leave your home until the job is done. When they do leave, they make sure to leave your home looking even better than it did before their arrival. Although many other plumbing companies charge by the hour for their services, at Reckon & Reckon Plumbing we charge by the job. This means that our customers do not have to worry about incurring costly overtime charges simply because a job takes longer than anticipated. It also means that our customers know up front how much the service is going to cost.

They rearranged their schedule for our emergency and did a terrific, thorough job with what turned out to be more complicated issues than they appeared at at first blush.

They refused to quote me a fee up front to have someone come to the house. It ended up being over $100. The gentleman argued that the water heater electric contraption was not good and that the type of water heater I had (despite it being only about 5 years old and still under warranty) was not a good one. He stated that I could apply the fee I paid toward further work if relighting the pilot didn't solve the problem. However, it really was just the pilot being out. I would have never agreed to a service call if I knew it was that outrageous of a fee. Secondly, I was put off by the statements subtly trying to convince me that I needed an entire new water heater. They need to be more honest and transparent.
Description of Work: The water heater only needed to have the pilot re-lit. I couldn't tell because of the contraption in front of the window to the pilot.

Response from Reckon & Reckon Plumbing
Dear Valued Customer, I am sorry to hear that we fell short in our goal of leaving you 100% satisfied. My understanding is that one of our most experienced plumbers came to your home and re-lit the pilot on your water heater. He also informed me that he gave you a $85 discount for his services. While our plumber was performing your job he offered you the option of purchasing an updated unit. At the time that he gave you a quote for a new heater, he did not check to see whether your existing unit was under warranty. If you had opted to go forward with replacing the unit, we would have first checked the warranty. Regardless, most of the costs associated with replacing a water heater involve labor and materials. Most water heater manufacturers do not warranty labor after the first year. Thus, even if the heater was under warranty, we still would have given you the option of purchasing an updated unit that is more reliable. Regardless of what decision you would have made, we dropped the ball by leaving you with the impression that we were not transparent. Our goal is to deliver the best service at below standard prices. Included in that goal is 100% transparency and customer confidence. I genuinely hope that your water heater works well for years to come.

Reckon and Reckon were the third plumber that I called. I called my regular plumber first, he never returned my call. I called a second plumber (highly recommended by a friend), who swore he would have someone out within a couple of hours. I never heard from him again. I then called Reckon and Reckon, who had someone out within an hour, diagnosed the issue, and had the work done within two hours. The guys who came out to fix the problem were professional, fast and courteous. I would definitely use them again, and can recommend them with confidence.

Very well.......Victor and Alex turned up on time, were very polite, and diagnosed the problem immediately. They gave me a straight honest and fair quote and then fixed the problem in about 20 minutes. Will definitely use them again. In fact I booked them on the spot to come back next week and fix a smaller plumbing problem I have. I am used to being price gouged here in Beverly Hills.......not a problem with these guys.

Victor was prompt, quick, and efficient. He replaced the valve in no time! Not to mention, I called on a Friday morning and they sent him over that same day (other companies said they would send someone over next week). I am very happy to have found Reckon & Reckon plumbing as I will be sure to use them in the future.

Amazing! Another service had tried to tell me that I needed a $500 job to correct the problem, but Reckon took a deeper look at the issue and realized that I just have a faulty faucet that needs to be replaced. Very professional, very nice, and honest. They definitely earned ongoing work from our household.

Reckon and reckon is the only plumber that I've used in the eight years that I've been in my house and this time was the same as all the others: excellent. They are punctual, professional, straightforward, reasonable, thorough and quick.
Description of Work: I mishandled a DIY project that, among other things, involved replacing the garbage disposal and didn't have the time or patience to make everything right.

I thought $180 per hour for labor was rather extravagant - I've NEVER paid a plumber that much! However, this company had such good write-ups that I decided to give them a try. I must admit they were excellent. The 2 men who came out to give me the estimate were extremely polite & knowledgeable & explained what needed to be done & how long it would take. There was some snafu over the scheduling & so I had to reschedule, but other than that, everything went very smoothly.

Victor came out to fix a leaking faucet--but they were a special designed and the prior plumber could not fix without causing damage--BUT VICTOR SAVED THE DAY. My wife is happy to keep her fixture and I am happy with fixing the leak. Also, they fixed some other leaking plumbing issues, and finally replaced our bad water heater. We asked about a tankless water heater, and rather than over selling us, Victor recommended a standard replacement, saving us a lot of money. Victor was nice, professional, helpful. This is why they get such good reviews. Thank you!

Victor got out to us on the same day we called, which was great because we'd called another company and been told it would be at least a week. Well, a week of leaking sprinklers wastes water, would have harmed the lawn, and cost us on our water bill. So, we really appreciated the promptness R&R displayed. When the two arrived, I described the issue and left them to diagnose the cause. Once they'd done that, Victor informed me that the whole converter valve and solenoid for that sprinkler group needed to be replaced and the cost of parts and labor would be $325. This was more than I'd hoped for, but was in the realm of reasonable, given that the part alone retails for around $105. Victor first told me that I'd need to not run the sprinklers for at least 24 hours but later informed me that the wait would not be necessary, as they did not end up needing to cut the high-pressure pipe, so the glue would not need that much time to cure. I signed the work order and paid Victor. The next morning, though, the valve that had been replaced was leaking at a pretty serious rate while the sprinklers ran. I called Reckon & Reckon and left a message saying I was upset that a great deal of water had leaked at the side of the house while the sprinklers ran as I slept early that morning. To their credit, Victor came out the same day and found that a gasket had been pinched in the threads of the screw-on top. He straightened that out and there was no further leakage on testing. Overall, the service was prompt and the system wasn't able to be tested before the glue had cured, which takes a few hours, per Victor. Still, with plumbing, I feel it's very important that the job be done right the first time. The price of the labor was a little high for the time the whole thing took, about an hour and a half, but they did offer $30 off through Angie's List, so it ended up being more reasonable.

The receptionist, Clarissa, did an outstanding job of keeping me informed as to the scheduling. Michael, along with his assistant, arrived right on time and got to work immediately. They were focused and conscientious and in every respect professional during the course of the toilet installation. Michael didn't hesitate to answer the questions I asked. What I was charged was money well spent knowing that I had hired the best and that I was confident that the work was being done correctly. Without question, I will contact Reckon & Reckon for all of my future plumbing needs and hopefully, Michael will be available.
Description of Work: What I needed done was to have a new Kohler toilet installed in the bath on the second level of my home. In mid-May, against my better judgment, I allowed a friend to make the determination as to who I would hire to do this job. These two men were not licensed plumbers, but more than that, in every way, from poor workmanship to unprofessional behavior, they were incompetent. What's worse, they charged more than a licensed plumber would have charged. And while that friend offered to pick up the toilet, Home Depot made a big mistake - it was a used toilet which never should have been re-sold in the first place. It was missing the installation kit and was then installed incorrectly. I therefore ordered a new toilet and contacted Reckon & Reckon to do the installation. I based my decision on the excellent reviews on Angie's List.

They are excellent. They came right out and unfortunately it was more than we thought it would be. My granddaughter flushed a bottle down the toilet. But they took care of it and it was reasonable. It was $600.00 but that is with a new toilet and things. He spent 4 hours here. They are great. They don't overcharge for the amount of work they do. They told us they would be here between 10 and 12, they were here at 10:15.

It went great. They came promptly (which was great because water was leaking all over the place) and fixed the problem. They even added a fix so in the future, the leak can be stopped manually at the water heater itself. I really appreciated the card they sent a few days later. Very professional operation!
