Bob Hauer Plumbing came highly recommended on NextDoor, so I called for a quote. He came out and, most importantly, made friends with my dogs. :) He provided a quote, and got me on the schedule as soon as I accepted. He accommodated my request for early morning, which is a huge help.
I had him installing a whole home water purification system that I had purchased independently. He told me it would take just about all day, which surprised me. However, once you see the finished product, it is a beautiful sight to behold.
He used copped piping as we discussed. He placed the system where we discussed, and it is oddly nice looking.
He took additional steps I noticed along the way - like tying back my plants to both hold them out of his way, and to protect them. It looked like pigtails and ponytails!
Once he got going, he worked steadily and was chipper, kind of singing along to some 90s jams as he worked, and he sounded like he was in a great mood! I work from home, so it was a nice touch nice having a cheerful person to hear in the background, just going about his business happily.
Now - my 1968 house ALWAYS brings complications and surprises. This time was no exception, unfortunately. Twice it foiled him - temporarily.
When this happened, he would work until he could not - always leavi g me with working, running water, and cleaned up pristinely.
Now, I know we all EXPECT co tractors to clean up. Its part of the gig. I dont think I have ever ever seen a cleaner site. Each time he left, it may have been cleaner than when he got there. No exaggeration, we all have trees and yard debris. It has been a rainy, windy winter in San Diego - I think he swept up some of my leaves in addition.
Bob was always pleasant, calm, personable, and sweet. Even when he ran in to surprises that necessitated extra time or supplies, he informed me with a smile. When he told me about one of the complications, and I replied Can that be done?? He replied I can do anything with a smile.
I would wholeheartedly recommend his plumbing services.
