plumbing, water heater repair

I had to replace a 50 gal water heater under warranty and I figured I would also pay a little more and get the broken main water supply valve in the house replaced - as it was a pain to go and shut-off the valve on the curb. I was expecting it to cost about a max of 4 hours labor and $200 in parts for everything and I ended up paying for 7.5 hours in labor and almost $300 in parts. The time for water replacement was on the higher side 4.5 hours, but I was OK with it since they had to go get the warranty replacement (about an hour or a bit more) and about 30 min additional work to fix the relief valve piping. But the kicker was the main valve replacement - it took 3 hours plus $100 in parts and all because they couldn't think of opening a drain valve to divert the small trickle of water. Since the water was trickling out the pipe where the new valve had to soldered, they ended up using a longer propress valve and that meant a few more propress angles to bring back the line to the point where it enters the wall. All this was done after sanding to remove the paint and prepping the pipe which eventually had to be cut. All in all definitely not the work to be expected from pros. I should mention that one was in a helper capacity, but save for 10 min of the total time on the project they worked independently. I wish I had monitored closely and caught what they missed about the drain value - I just assumed they knew what they were doing and didn't want to butt in. Other than that they were cordial, left the work place clean etc etc - no complaints there. I'm sorry but in my case they didn't live up to they grade A reputation. I understand sometimes there are unexpected complications, but this was a pretty straightforward job made complicated by a rookie mistake.

As usual fantastic service. It always is.
Description of Work: I have been meaning to write a review of Mike Kimble plumbing for some time. They have done several projects at our home - leaks in the ceiling, water heating problems and most recently looking for a leak when we received a shocking water bill (Ventura Water is an awful agency btw). This company is always courteous, responsive, reasonable and just nice people. I would never use another plumber.

Perfect. Most professional company and staff I have had the privilege of hiring. I am a senior citizen and have to be careful that repair people don't look at me as as easy mark. Mike Kimble Plumbing has never given this impression nor tried to overcharge or do less than perfect work.

I called to get an estimate, as I have gotten from 3 other companies. The other estimates ranged from $400 to $2000. When I briefly described the work I need, I was told that they won't come out to give an estimate. They just gave me a per hour price (over $100 with a one hour minimum) and that supplies will be additional. They didn't even tell me how long they thought the work might take based on the description I gave. For me even the $400 is a large expense. I don't start work without being sure I can pay for it, so an estimate is important. I don't have $100 to spend just to find out if I can afford the repairs.
Description of Work: I have a pipe that is leaking and under my kitchen sink needs to be completely re-piped.

Edgar from Kimble Plumbing was sent it to handle my plumbing needs. Edgar was knowledgeable, punctual, and professional. I could not have asked for a better response to the water leak in my bathroom wall/shower. If Edgar is any example of all the employees at Mike Kimball Plumbing...bravo! While they were here I also had them install a new shower head and tub spout. Everything worked out perfect and above expectations. The job took approximately 2 hours. Which included detecting the leak, fixing the leak, attaching both showerheads, a faucets, and adding a new tub spout...and double and triple checking everything before he left to put my mind at ease. I would deftly hire them again for any of my plumbing needs. PS - They even honored their coupon off of Angie's List and totally cleaned up after themselves!

water heater repair

the water heater went out at a rental property, and they responded quickly and had a decent price. Work went well, and seemed fine, I was very happy, until about a year later, some other plumbing work needed to be done and the plumbers noted that the main hot water valve was failed and had not been replaced with the water heater as it should have been. Not being on site or being a plumber, I expect Mike Kimble plumbing to have known and done this at the time the work was done. This has left me reluctant to use them again.

I have a condo that I rent out..our renters contacted my daughter, who helps me with the condo, and the water heater had gone out..the renters tried to relight it but weren't able to do so...My daughter contacted Mike Kimble plumbing (this was on a Sunday). they were able to work us in for Monday...they worked out the time with the renters, the repairman was super, very professional and our renters were extremely happy with the service...Mike's plumbing was recommended to me many years ago from a dear friend..I am so glad we called Mike and will use him again...I definitely would recommend Mike's plumbing for any of your plumbing needs.
Description of Work: The provider fixed the water heater that had gone out...they gave us a quote on the approximate costs, depending on the problem and took care of the problem which stayed within the estimate.

The service is friendly and professional. There is always a real person answering the phone who follows up on appointments and responds to any issues that may arise. The owner Mike Kimble is accessible and stays involved with the progress of the job. We had replaced the stem on a leaky faucet in our guest bathroom. Some weeks later when preparing for a guests arrival we noticed that the hot water was down to a trickle. I called Mike and he sent someone over the very same day to fix the problem. Since the problem was with the stem that had been recently replaced, they put a new one in at no charge to us. We are very pleased with the professionalism of this business.

This is the second time I had them come out. I was impressed by the knowledge and professionalism when we used them to check the work of another very questionable plumber two years (almost three) ago. I looked them up on Angie's List when I had a clog problem. The second guy was a good as the first. Office was pretty easy to deal with. They were offering a deal, which with some prodding, they extended to me. Long story, but was well resolved in the end (not significant money, but I really held them to it over principal).
Description of Work: Cleared a drain, but I was unsure at first if it was as simple as that.

There actually is a Mike Kimball on the other end of the line! He called to tell us that the plumber was on his way and should arrive in a few minutes. Hector arrived on time; he was fast and professional. He answered all of my husbands questions to my husbands satisfaction. During the job a rotten pipe broke but Hector had all the tools available to continue (without grunting or swearing) If that would have happened to us it would have been a different story. Then, to remove an unsighly copper tubing left behind when the refrigerator was relocated. Hector was up in the attic and removed that pipe...zippy, zippy! All in the allotted time. It was great having a professional do the jobs. I would recommend these guys and use them again.
Description of Work: A leaking hot water valve was replaced under the kitchen sink; an extra length of copper tubing was removed from the attic

When we purchased a new washing machine, the installer had to turn off the water to the house because they could not close the water valves to hook up the machine. .We have very hard water and these valves were frozen open. I purchased new valves from the manufacturer to make sure I had the best possible, and then set up the plumber. The guy that came out was great. He explained how he would do the job, and made sure that I had purchased the right valves for the fittings, all before he started. He was in and out in less than an hour. I got a previous estimate from Richco Plumbing for $1200.00. They wanted to rip out my wall and put in new copper pipes and valves. Mike Kimble Plumbing is the best.
