Oro Valley Plumbing

For the second time in about a month, our 31 year old home has required the work of a professional plumber.  First, Rick re-built our Guest Bath shower and replaced all of our bath fixtures, and just today he and Dan were here to re-build our kitchen plumbing.  Each time he has been professional, efficient, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done right.

Rick and crew are the best!  They solved some tough faucet replacement problems for us.  Very reasonable rates.  Recommended highly!

I just had Rick install an outside shut-off valve. I observed much of his work and I am convinced that he does things the right way. He is a pleasant guy to deal with, and I believe him to be honest and sincere. From now on, he will be my go to plumbing guy. Great job Rick!

Would give Rick and Oro Valley Plumbing 11 stars. Can't say enough good about Rick or recommend him highly enough. I'm handy enough to be dangerous around the house, but I also know my limits- plumbing! Rick will take a look at what's wrong and give you options on how to fix, he never just goes right to a quote. Our first experience with Rick was a whole-house polybutylene piping replacement as we moved into a new house. Done on time, on budget and two years later, zero issues. He's been out a couple of times since and is always quick to schedule with you and very thorough. Plus, he's a heck of a nice fella! If you need a solid plumber, Rick should definitely be your guy.

Copper pipes for water softener started leaking. Called Rick and we scheduled for the following afternoon, however he was available earlier and called to see if he could come over. Long story short, he fixed the problem quickly and professionally.
I felt like a person, not a number on someones list of things to get done today. This is what plumbers used to be like before the big guys came into the business. He's professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and most importantly honest! If you need a plumber, this is your guy! Support small businesses!

they were quick to diagnose the problem and just as fast to fix it. I would recommend Oro Valley plumbing to anyone needing plumbing services.

If you are looking for that old fashioned service from a local plumber who will answer your call himself, do great work, and show up sooner rather than later this is who you call. Rick is professional and knowledgeable and the only plumber whose card goes on our fridge. You know, just in case LOL. The big box plumbers as I call them with the outsourced answering services and the phony schedules that are always booked up for weeks? No more.

I've used Rick at Oro Valley Plumbing for years! He's honest, reasonable, and very capable and experienced. I use him for my personal work as well as referrals to my clients ; everyone is always satisfied with workmanship, professionalism, timely response and repair, and with a great demeanor.

All of that said, if you're looking for free advice (a huge liability), or an arm-chair estimate without a on site review, then use Google or YouTube; don't waste a professional's time.

Certainly don't then blast him on Yelp, with the intent to affect his livelihood because you aren't willing to pay a professional for his time. Oh...I see those 1 star reviews (4 out of six times)...who's reviews would YOU trust?

Beware of review flamers...check their intent and their history in reviews, prior to giving them ANY credence or credibility.

Call OVP yourselves; you won't be disappointed.

I called Oro Valley Plumbing to replace a hot water pump.  I was asked to send a picture of the pump.  I was told the charge would be $350.   I was told they would get the pump.  When Rick arrived he did not have the pump and said the charge would be $450 because it would take 2 hours.  I said, fine, go ahead.  Rick says,Okay I will go get the pump.  Rick leaves for 90 minutes.  He finally returns after I call him and ask if he is coming back.  He replaces the pump.  The replacement pump Rick installs is smaller and without a timer as the removed pump had.  In other words he installed a cheaper pump than I had.   Rick takes about 30 minutes to install the pump.  I ask why he said it would take 2 hours and why he was charging me for two hours work.    Suddenly his charge was based on a set charge rather than based on the time spent making the repairs.  Then he said he charged for the 90 minutes he was gone from my house getting the pump.  I told him he should have brought it with him and should not be responsible for driving around (if he really was) when he knew the pump that was needed before he arrived and I was told Oro Valley Plumbing would have the pump.  We get into a loud argument and he relents and lowers the price $100.   Rick acts like lowering the price made up for his lies.   He wanted to stay and argue.   I had to tell him to leave in no uncertain terms.

I called Oro Valley Plumbing based on the great Yelp reviews, but I was disappointed with my phone conversation and I will be going elsewhere for my needs. They wanted to charge a $149 trip charge to come out and provide a quote for installing a new drain in my garage. The representative kept saying he does not provide free advice but I wasn't looking for free advice I was looking for the cost to add a drain into the garage by tapping into the adjacent laundry room plumbing. The representative said he was too busy to deal with quotes. Beware!!!

We had a shower fixture installed and they did a great job and clearly showed us what needed to be done. The cost was reasonable, too. I would definitely use Oro Valley Plumbing any time I need plumbing work.
