I bought a 57 year old house 2 years ago and have been updating it piecemeal since. As with old houses we hit a snag and called Monte in to help. One of the toilet's drainage pipe's rim (cast iron) was higher than than floor and would have required massive amount of shimming. Monte cut the pipe down (a dicey affair given the age of the pipe and difficulty of cutting through it) and avoided any damage to the glass shower doors a mere 2 feet or less away. He patched and finished the concrete around the hole and worked with me to allow the flooring to be put in before the toilet was installed. 2 toilets and 2 sinks and a hard day's work done, I have the bathroom I hoped for. I've used Monte's company for 12 years and have never been dissatisfied with the work.
Description of Work: 2 toilets, 2 sinks installed in bathrooms

Monte, Carla, Angel, and Logan were beyond fantastic. Excellent customer service, very professional, and conscious of our home and creating little damage. They were very clean while working and also cleaned up every evening before leaving. I highly recommend giving them a call!
Description of Work: We had a gas line running to our stove in the island of our kitchen that had been leaking. They very carefully pulled out the old line and replaced with a new one. They did very minimal damage to our kitchen.

We've had it with them. We've used them for years for our home and our rental home. But recently, for the past 4 times, it's taken them a week for every appointment. They've been late every time. They'd call at the last minute to tell us they're coming. They've been "fixing" our sink for the past 3 times in 6 months. Each time it's been for a different reason that the sink is leaking or so they claim so that warranties don't apply. We've paid hundreds if not thousands of dollars fixing a sink that they've had 3 chances to fix, each time charing us several hundred dollars. We've recently asked them to detach a simple hose from the washing machine for which they charged us $120 for! So they don't fix the problem and they over charge. We've had it with this company and will never use them again.
Description of Work: We sink had leaked for the past 6 months, causing damage to our cabinets. We called A Better Plumbing and they claimed they fixed it and charged us several hundred dollars. Two months later, the sink leaked again. They claimed that it leaked for a different reason so the warranty doesn't apply and changed us several hundred dollars again. Then it leaked again, causing further damage to our cabinetry. Once again, the leak was yet from a completely different reason and thus the warranty doesn't apply again and charged us several hundred dollars. Furthermore, every time we called them, it's taken them a week to show up. And they show up late every time.

It just wasn't working. Apparently it was a bad valve or something, so the water would not flow through. He had to pull out the whole unit and replace the valve. For some reason, it prevented the water from coming out the bathtub spout and shower head. They're great. They were reasonably priced too. I talked to the dispatcher. Monte is the owner and I think she might be the owner's wife. They're both really, really nice and very accommodating. With the water heater I was like, "I need someone," and they got someone out right away. Monte is like, "Don't worry, we're going to take care of it. I'll get a guy out like within four hours." She had someone out immediately. Any time I've called in the past too, I know that she is like, "I'm going to get someone out to take care of you. Make sure you let me know if he isn't professional." They really are concerned about their technicians and the service and the treatment you're getting. Whenever they come out, their technicians are very friendly. We ask them to remove their shoes and they're very polite and respectful of coming to the house. He was able to take the time to explain what the problem was. That's what I like about them, they don't just like do it and are kind of rude. They're very good on the price.
Description of Work: My daughter's upstairs bathroom shower was not working. It's one of those single handle things that kind of go around in circle. They fixed it.

Called first thing in the AM and the office was great...customer service rep was very friendly and reassuring. Shawn was our plumber and they came out promptly the same day in the afternoon. I even received text updates as to his arrival and assessment for the repairs needed. Shawn was very kind to my wife and also very professional in his conduct and work. Great company and fair price. I've used them before and I will definitely use them again!

Our hot water heater conked out Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Consequently, we were facing a holiday weekend without hot water! A-Better Plumbing had done a re-piping for us back in March and they did an excellent job--so why call anyone else??? I spoke with Carla who was able to get Mike out to install a new water heater, much to my family's relief. I will always recommend A-Better Plumbing. They have reliable, dependable, knowledgeable, and friendly professional staff, who know the meaning of providing great customer service.

Mike showed up at 2:00 and was done by 2:30. The valves no longer leak, the faucet base no longer spins and is tight to the sink top. He took the time to check a shower faucet and answer by husband's question about replace just replacing the cold water faucet because manufactured homes sometimes have their own little quirks that stick built houses don't have. If you're looking for a plumbing service that can work on manufactured homes, this is the place.
Description of Work: After installing a new kitchen faucet ourselves, the valves wouldn't completely turn off and began to leak. Mike changed both 1/2" valves with 3/8" valves that matched the faucet connection. He also tightened the new faucet which required disassembling the new faucet built-in pull down sprayer.

From my initial contact with Office Manager Carla, to Master Plumber, Juan's first inspection, and having the job actually done, the A Better Plumbing, LLC team took the pain away from a high anxiety situation. Juan and Charlie arrived as scheduled and proceeded to lay down protective covering for the carpets and floors. Prior to starting the job, they re-did an in-depth detection to ensure that only one pipe had to be re-routed. Only until they were satisfied with their assessment did Charlie begin cutting the appropriate holes in the walls and to threadnew piping. These guys were patient, and answered all of our questions. They were clean, precise, efficient, and thorough. Before leaving the premises, they checked all faucets, dishwasher, toilets, and showers, to ensure all pipes were free of air and everything was working properly, including the hot water heater and water meter in the street. I just couldn't have asked for a better job.
Description of Work: A Better Plumbing LLC master plumber provided an in-depth inspection, with state-of-the-art water detection equipment; explained the work to be done in detail and in layman's terms; described estimated time required to get the job done, and finally re-routed new water line through walls and above ceiling to connect the new line to existing copper manifold and plumbing fixture.

My water bill had been (at least) double for 3 months. After landscapers fixed 2 major leaks, the bill was still high. I checked Angie's list, and called 3 different and quot;leak detectorand quot; companies. I liked A-Better Plumbing Companie's web site, and how they recommended researching different plumbers before having the work doneā¦..what to look for, what to ask, etc. I liked that they were a small and quot;family ownedand quot; business, and after talking with Carla, I felt like they were someone I could trust. Juan was able to come out the next day, and immediately identified the problem as the main water line. The work was done a week later. They had to dig thru mature landscaping, rock, and under a sidewalk to run the line. All was done in 1 1/2 days, and it looked like it did before they started. They included replacing the Anit-Siphon Pressure Vacuum Breaker at ho extra charge. There was a minor and quot;hiccoughand quot; with a faulty fitting with the copper piping in the garage. I called Carla at 10:00 at night, and Monte was at my house in less than 20 minutes to correct the problem. The job was finished the next day. They were kind and totally professional. I would definitely recommend them and will use them for any plumbing issues in the future.

Thank You for taking the time to leave your review on Angie's List. We really appreciate the opportunity to provide our service to install a new water main service to the residence. In the process of doing plumbing, sometimes a leak can happen in our repair or construction efforts. Any plumber that says "I never make a mistake" is obviously not doing the work. Thank You for your patience & understanding regarding the hiccup. It makes me feel good as a business owner to know that we have the capacity to be responsive to our customers even into the later hours of the evening. I will let Juan, Mike & Charlie know that you are pleased with their efforts. Thanks again for the nice review. Monte - Managing Member - A Better Plumbing Company.

It was very good. He gave me an alternative of doing the entire plumbing to the whole house which would have cost about $5000 or doing basically intersecting with the hot and cold water in the front part of the house. He gave me an alternative to do it cheaply yet an alternative to continue on if in fact there was a problem beyond there. What happened is the hot water connection for the house is up front and also the three of the four plumbing areas in my house. We hooked up the piping for the hot water right up front in the house where the front bathroom was. We didn't have to go spend another $3000 to go to the back bathroom and change the plumbing there too. Everything is okay so far.

The name says it all. Monte is a plumbing wizard. There was a surprise every step of the way and he was always on top of it. He treats his workers with respect and they return it with hard work. These guys worked and worked and worked until every piece of pipe was replaced and then rechecked everything to make sure nothing goes wrong. I was there with them the entire 5 days and Monte showed to me and explained to me everything they were doing and always checked with me when there were options. (Except I did not crawl under the house. Way too claustrophobic for that.) Monte has every piece of equipment a plumber could want, including a camera that squirrels through the pipes showing on a monitor their condition inside. This is not a contractor who sends a crew out and you never see him again. Monte is there the whole time making sure everything is done right, down to the last detail, and working right alongside his crew. This time we lucked out and got the right guys for the job.
Description of Work: Completely replumbed downtown LV home built in 1939 from the water main in the alley, throughout the whole house, and all the drain pipes. Repiped 5 hose bibs and brought up to code . Installed new connection for swamp cooler. Removed all the old and corroded galvanized steel lines and replaced with copper and modern materials. Cleaned out a horribly clogged main sewer pipe all the way out to the drop in the alley, about 60 feet away, a major undertaking, then installed a clean-out up to ground level which the house unfortunately did not have before. Had to dig a 60-foot long trench for the main water line, then a 4-5 foot foxhole to get to the sewer line. Crew of 4, including the owner, Monte, worked Monday through Friday crawling through the maze of crawl spaces under this old house. Finally, recommended a very fine and inexpensive operation to patch all the holes in the walls, inside and out, necessary to get to the pipes, and repaint.

Thank You valued Angie's List member. We like to think of ourselves as water slab leak detection experts. Many other companies advertise free estimates & the homeowners our disappointed when they find out that these other companies do not even attempt to find the leak. They just want to sell a whole house repipe because the leak does not require locating if you replace all the pipe in the residence. If the homeowner is willing to spend big $ for a whole house repipe, it does not matter where the leak is. Because we have invested in the equipment & time to gain knowledge in leak location, we offer solutions that are a fraction of the cost of entire repipes. With a major expense such as a water leak under a slab, we encourage customers to get several estimates on the repair. We do encourage a professional leak detection service to locate the leak so the owner can be presented with several options for the repair. The costs of repair can be greatly reduced when you know where the leak is. Thanks again for the review & please call us again should our services be needed in the future.
