KSM is a local and independently owned small business dedicated to providing superior personalized service to meet the needs of the Albuquerque community.
Description of Work: Kevin Meek, owner of KSM Plumbing helped us with a pressure-reducing valve, water flow regulator. He came to the house and provided bids for two different types of installs, one for the garage or one near the street off of the water main. | |He provided a written bid for the work we selected. He showed up on time and completed the work in a very professional manner. He and his assistant had to dig up a lot of dirt. We liked the way they used tarps and strung up cautionary tape while they went to the warehouse for parts. When the work was completed you could not see a difference in the landscape. | |We had not used Angie's List in the past. What I enjoy about this service is the contractor knows you will write a review and they are eager that you read up on other's experiences. We will definitely use Kevin and his company in the future. There were no surprises; everything went exactly as he said it would. |

Description of Work: Bathroom remodel included tub to shower conversion with bench, pivoting door and grab bars and installation of new cultured marble countertop to match new shower walls. They also reseated a toilet in a second bathroom and installed grab bars in shower and new shower head. My husband's health issues necessitated these changes and I appreciated Kevin's professional advice and attention to detail when designing the remodel. We are extremely happy with the results and think it has added value to our home. Also our thanks to Casey and Cade who were courteous and friendly and minimized the inconvenience of a major remodel project.

Description of Work: KSM put in a new kitchen sink, installed a low flow toilet and ultimately replaced our main-line. They did an excellent job, worked around the fixtures we had purchased at a showroom going out of business sale, and they pitched in when it became clear the old main line leaked, changed their schedule and replaced it for us the next day. They were utterly kind, careful and respectful of us, our dog, our kids and our house.

I took advantage of Angie's special offers and bought a Big Deal Coupon. I called and made an appointment for a service call from KSM Plumbing telling him that I had purchased a coupon from Angie's List. Mr. Meek was there promptly on the hour of the day, assessed the situation and got right to work. The job was done in good time and I was pleased with his attention to detail and the cleaning up of the work area. He is not only a personable fellow but a competent plumber. I would recommend this plumber and I will call upon him if the need arises in the future. He was fair and very reasonable in his charges and I have no complaints.
Description of Work: The plumber was to repair a leaky faucet in a shower stall. The faucet was old and encrusted with calcium deposits which is why I didn't want to attack the repairs myself. In the process of removing the faucet, the valve was exposed and clearly in my view required replacement. We discussed the replacement options. He then left to purchase a replacement faucet and valve, returned and completely installed the new valve and faucet.

We e-mailed Kevin in the evening, and per our request, he contacted us the next morning. He was able to fit us into his schedule the next day (pretty good for a non-emergency problem!). He came over in the pooring rain, evaluated the problem, and provided an estimate. We told him that he could repair it the following day because of the bad weather, and he took us up on our offer. He came over the next day, turned off the water, and made the repair within 30 minutes. We are very pleased with the service, price, and responsiveness, and we will use his services again if needed.
Description of Work: The hose bibb connected to the swamp cooler outside the house would not shut off. We had propped the float closed so that no water was running. Kevin evaluated the problem, provided an estimate, and replaced the knob, which fixed the problem.

I got three different bids on the job and he was by far the lowest. He did the work quickly and professionally, even dealing with an ornery neighbor. Addressed a follow up concern in a similar manner and overall I'm satisfied with the work and the price.
Description of Work: Kevin replaced an old 2" line from the kitchen to the main sewer line and the main line to the city sewer.

I've been having problems with the clothes washer's wastewater backing up into the kitchen sink. I had another plumber recommended by a friend come in and try to fix it, but all I got was a bill for $340 for some shoddy work. So I decided to try calling KSM based on their positive reviews here. It was easy to get a hold of the owner/plumber Kevin and he came by the house the next day and provided a detailed and through assessment of the problem. He suggested two possible causes and two potential solutions. The cheaper solution involves having the pipes throughly snaked by a different company that specializes in this. I was clear that he was more interested in solving my problem with the least cost to me rather than just getting another job for himself. I will likely try the cheaper solution first but if it doesn't solve the problem I will be definitely calling KSM back to have the piping replaced.
Description of Work: Assessed a drainage problem with my clothes washer.

It ended up not truly being broken after all. He took it apart and told me this right away. He then refused to take any money for the visit. I would definitely trust him to do any work in the future.

We just bought our house and found out that the swamp cooler was in need of lots of TLC and the water pressure regulator was not functioning. Kevin came the same day we called, which happened to be Memorial Day! He assessed the repairs and came back a few days later to perform the work. He explained the problems and our options and completed the repairs as promised. We recommend Kevin's work and we will call him back for our plumbing needs.

Kevin gave thoughtful advice on the best system for our square footage and we went with his recommendation. Replacing the old water line was a significant hurdle due to a complicated routing from the roof to the water hookup in the garage. Kevin stuck with that difficult job with persistence and we appreciated his resolve to get the job done and getting it done right. Along the way there were a couple of occasions where Kevin needed another part. We appreciated that he immediately found a source and went and picked it up, keeping the job on schedule. We would definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: We had Kevin replace an ancient swamp cooler and water line, and add a thermostat.

I contacted Kevin (owner) at KSM for an estimate on the water softener repair listed above, and he was able to diagnose the recirculation pump failure based on excessive time for hot water to reach the outlets throughout the house. He was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. After receiving estimates from other Angie's List plumbing companies, KSM was far less expensive - I had a moment of doubt on whether the estimate was accurate, or if the job was underestimated, but opted to use KSM anyway due to the cost savings. Kevin and another KSM employee arrived on time the day I had scheduled for the repairs to take place. Both were very conscious of not damaging my home and performed the services I had contracted with efficiency and skill. Not only was the installation done properly this time, but several additional measures were taken (sealed line conduits, heavy duty line insulation, etc). After completing the job, KSM ensured that any debris and work-related messes were removed so that my home looked as good as before repaires were started. I wish I could have used KSM for the water softener install the first time!
Description of Work: Re-routing of water softener lines due to a completely botched job by another company that compromised the structural integrity of load-bearing studs in my home. The water lines needed to be run through the ceiling and down to the main line instead of notching out most of the wall studs to route the lines. Additionally, the hot water recirculation pump had failed and needed to be replaced.

I called KSM services and Kevin was able to come over within the hour. He was able to determine exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. He had to make a couple of trips to his office to get the right tools/parts but he returned promptly. I thought the pricing was more than fair and would be happy to give him a good reference and to use his services again.
Description of Work: I called him due to a rusty pipe under the kitchen sink which needed to be replaced.
