The estimator came out and gave me a fair estimate for the work, talking through my options, and preparing a best-case estimate for the move of the water lines (I hadn't thought to include the move of the gas line at this point). He did a good job of warning me that with the age of the pipes, there was always a chance that they would break threads off and the job would get bigger as they would have to work outward replacing more pipes. I was also given some advice on things I could do to make the job cheaper, such as opening up the drywall myself in preparation for the new pipe, which I was happy to do. When DJ came out to do the work, he was on time and professional. He finished the job well to my satisfaction and there were no unexpected costs. At the end of the job I asked about moving the gas line, and DJ got the information needed to avoid a second visit from an estimator, which was appreciated. I called and scheduled the next service, and DJ came back out and did that work with the same level of service and professionalism showed the first time. When I'm ready to make the final plumbing connections for the sink and dishwasher, I'll definitely be calling Bill Smith Plumbing & Heating again.
Description of Work: I'm doing a kitchen remodel, and replacing everything from the subfloor up. A new cabinet layout necessitated the move of the sink water lines from their current position over approximately 8-9". I also wanted to change them from rising up from the floor to coming out of the wall. Lastly I also wanted to move an old gas line outlet from the floor to the wall as well, leaving me with a clear subfloor to work with for the new flooring.

He was awesome. He was really helpful in giving information. He just talked me through some of my questions but I didn’t end up using him. He was very thorough and very honest. I was looking for water heaters so he was giving me his suggestions about what price and if I had to use 1 or 2. He just kinda weighed on some of the things for us to consider.

I called many of the "A" rated companies on Angie's list for quotes on a new tank water heater. Every one of them had a different opinion about what I needed to do to bring my existing situation up to the current code. Prices also varied from around $1,300 to more than $3,000 with all of the supposedly required upgrades. It was totally frustrating, as I knew next to nothing about plumbing or water heaters. After a lot of research, including calls to the city permit office to ask what was required, I settled on Bill Smith Plumbing. They sold and installed a higher end water heater with additional insulation for less than what many other companies were charging for the base model heaters. Bill Smith also gave the most accurate info about what the code did and didn't require, as demonstrated when my water heater easily passed the city permit inspection without the very costly renovations the other "A" rated companies swore I needed to do to comply with the code for my city, which is Denver (btw, it was strange how almost no company recommended getting the permit, which I ultimately insisted on to ensure everything was done properly). Bottom line: call around to get quotes, but don't waste too much time and don't trust what a company tells you just because they've gotten good reviews on this site. Bill Smith did a great job at a good price with minimal hassle and courteous customer service. They've earned my business.
Description of Work: Installed new tank water heater in location of old water heater; removed old water heater.

They did a fine job but I thought they were a bit expensive. The young man that came out was very nice. He took his time and did quite a bit of work. He was here for 2-3 hours but I didn’t’ expect that kind of bill. I'd give the young man an A rating but a C for the company because of the price. It just need to be made clear what they're gonna charge. The furnace is working better. He did give me a senior discount.

They did a good job, but there was no savings here. I have gotten same service for much cheaper from other plumbing providers.
Description of Work: Plumber and an assistant arrived on time. I had ordered a big deal that I thought provided $600 for $200 - but the bill quickly rose to about $1,600!! This was to replace valves on 3 toilets and fix a garden hose faucet.

Response from Bill Smith Plumbing & Heating Inc
Hello Member. This review is inaccurate in several areas, and we encourage for you to review your review. We did work for you back in July of this year (we did no work for you in September), you had purchased a 99/200 big deal, and utilized that. The entire invoice was $400.65, you only had to pay the remainder after the Big Deal, which was $200.65. We do not know where the $1200 of $1600 price point is that you mention, but either figure is in accurate. We believe we served you in a fair manner, and we do appreciate the high marks on the rest of your review. If we are incorrect, please contact us, 303-781-7856. If not, please have this review edited to show the correct facts. Perhaps we were the other plumbing provider that you mention that provided it cheaper. We did not charge you $1200 or $1600, and we need you to make sure your review is accurate, as this reflects poorly on our company when inaccurate reviews are shared, Thank you again for allowing us to serve you, Roy at Bill Smith

There was a leak in the water pipe from my disposal to the main unit. I was pretty sure that all it needed was to be tightened, but I didn't have the tools. The plumber was on time, efficient, and fixed the problem in less than 15 minutes, which was great. I do think $106 is a bit much for 15 minutes, but I needed to have the work done. The plumber was really nice, and I would call him again.

This group is not to be trusted. I had them come out for a specific reason and by the time they left, my bill was $200 more than necessary. Not only that, they didn't fix the problem they were called to fix in the first place: a leaky toilet. And then they wanted to charge us for the return to fix it. Terrible! I will never use this company again.

Response from Bill Smith Plumbing & Heating Inc
Hello Member, I am sorry that your experience with our company did not feel like a positive experience. We do make mistakes, but we always try to resolve those problems, to try to make it a positive experience. In your case we did 3 repairs on the first visit, one of those did not hold. We did come back, and repair that problem, and at first, our field tech had priced it out to bill you, as this was seen as an addendum to the original problem. We always review all tickets from the field, and after reviewing your ticket, and seeing your request on the ticket, that you had thought this should not be charged for, we agreed with you, and no charged for the return visit, as I felt it was something we should have caught the first visit. You questioned our charges in this review for the first visit, thinking that to repair two toilets, and install a pressure reducing valve should have only costed $100. However the voucher you had purchased was a $50 for $100 voucher. This did not mean that any amount of plumbing you wanted to have done would only cost you $100, it means that you have purchased $100 worth of plumbing for $50. I am saddened that you think we are not trust worthy, and would then state this on a website, without ever calling us to voice your concerns, and give us a chance to answer to these concerns. I believe we did not over charge to begin with, and when we did make a mistake, we repaired it, and did not charge you for this. Based on the inconvenience we caused you by having a recall, I offer you a free service charge on you next visit from us ($60.00 value). On your assertions of our company not being trust worthy, I would say these are unfortunate, statements that do not represent our company fairly, and are countered daily by the numerous positive reviews seen on this website daily. Roy at Bill Smith Plumbing

I have had problems with my water heater for months I had called another plumbing service, and after spending $1500.00 I still had the same problem. I then called another plumber and he said I needed a new water heater and suggested I get a tankless one for $4600.00. I then subscribed to Angie's List. What a blessing!! Bill smith was top rated and I know why. Bill, himself, showed up, cleaned the pilot light, and my current water heater works just fine. Thank heaven for Bill Smith Plumbing and for all the honest reviews on Angie's list. Bill will always be my "go to" plumber from now on.

Response from Bill Smith Plumbing & Heating Inc
Dear member, when you called to ask about the charges, we were not allowed to explain the charges fully, before you hung up on us on the phone. When we contacted you via the message center, we let you know that the charges would be dropped, and we offered to n/c the next service charge out, which still stands, even though you have decided to give us a poor review. Our company is different than any of the others on here, because we do consider customer service to be priority, and to fix problems as they arise, and there will be problems. It is hard for us to fix problems, when the customer hangs up, and is not willing to talk through the problem. Regardless, we have still reached out to offer our excellent customer service to you, it is up to you now, whether you want to receive it. Thank you again, Roy at Bill Smith

Bill Smith Plumbing provides exceptional service and value. I have worked with two Bill Smith plumbers on multiple occasions and have nothing but praise for the individual plumbers, as well as the larger business operation. The plumbers arrived promptly within the agreed timeframe. Both were open and honest about the work involved and the estimated time for completion. All work was accomplished quickly and effectively, and the work area was thoroughly cleaned up when the job was done. I will be using Bill Smith Plumbing in the future. In fact, I have a Bill Smith plumber scheduled to do more work next week. I held off on some low-priority repairs and replacements until I found a solid plumbing outfit. Bill Smith is definitely that.
Description of Work: I had Bill Smith Plumbing repair a water heater plumbing issue at the house a few months ago. They were here again last week to do some ongoing faucet/toilet repairs and upgrades.

It worked out OK. I don't have any issues with the work itself. They came out a couple of weeks ago and it costed me close to $250. I actually requested a particular person to do the work and they person I requested met in an accident and was unable to work. They said that he will be back to work within a couple of weeks and asked if I wanted to postpone the job so I did so but the person didn't start back working as yet so they sent someone else without giving me prior warning. So that was a bit of a shame and when they completed the job, they went out to their van to write up the invoice and they took half an hour to do so and they tried to charge me for that time and I didn't think that was right so I filed a complaint and I had them write another invoice . I've used them before and they've been excellent. But this experience I had I would rate them a 'C' overall.
