Finite Plumbing & Welding

When the other big plumbing company couldn't finish the job and rescheduled me for the following week despite knowing I had no water, Chris came out the same day and repaired an underground water line. He was also able to find the right part at a nearby hardware store. He was prompt, fair, and professional. Thanks, Chris!

The shower in our only bathroom in a 1940s house was leaking. My husband was able to get it to stop but the whole valve inside the wall needed to be replaced. Chris was quick to respond and sent an accurate quote. Since it wasn't an emergency we scheduled him to come out a couple days later. He was on time and got right to work. The job included cutting the tile which he cleaned up and got the dust as well. He also quoted us a fair price for other plumbing work and was patient with all of our questions. He will be the only plumber we use from now on!

I was in need of emergency repair for a leaking faucet and couldn't find anyone to come in from Tahoe. Chris drove from el Dorado. He was communicative of his ETA and came in earlier than the appointment. His demeanor is very professional. His quality of work is great. He would explain the issues and different options and scenarios. He has a 4 hour minimum for Tahoe area which is fair since he is driving 2 hours here. He also typed up a report for me to submit.

This guy just fixed our broken desk. He did a Great job! I would recommend to everyone. Very nice too

Chris with Finite Plumbing and Welding is great.  A down to earth guy who is honest and hardworking.  We needed three things done at our cabin.  The main house shut off was stuck and wouldn't budge, which made me very nervous with the cold weather when we weren't home.  Especially having experienced a burst water line for 3 days at a previous house.  Burst pipes are no fun.  We also needed to remove some plumbing that wasn't done properly in a closet where a hot water tank was removed and shut offs for the exterior hose bibs.  Chris came up with a better solution to make our lives easier with a new ball valve shut off inside the mechanical closet (rather than the square rod shut off).  He also made sure to look at the plumbing lines to other areas in our house so when he cut and caped plumbing lines that were in the closet, everything in the house worked the way it should.  He also inspected and pointed out that the exterior hose bibs were the kind rated for the exterior freeze conditions and it wouldn't make sense to waste money to install separate shut offs.  All of this work was primarily done in our crawl space too, so not easy space to work in.  Work was really well done.  Lastly I want to mention that he was very responsive via Yelp and text message and he showed up 10 minutes early.  If we have more plumbing projects, then Chris will be our first and only person we call.

This is the guy that cares about his work and is willing to temporarily fix Kitec plumbing (Kitec is not fixable once it goes) so you can get the water back on. After 4 plumbers said no to working on Kitec plumbing and two no-shows, I found Chris from Finite Plumbing. After six days without water and multiple attempts to temporarily get water back in the hours, Chris fixed our system in under 5 hours. He also addressed the poor workmanship in the connections to the water heater.  A true professional in his craft and our plumber from now on. Thank you, Chris.

Because of the snowstorm delay, Chris WALKED up the last two miles to my home through waist high snow to get me the fuse. No words. Will be using Chris for any further plumbing issues.

Had a water heater issue and Chris did a great job diagnosing the problem. It was a tricky one, with 2 separate parts needing a replacement but Chris figured it out and did very good work. Would definitely use him again for any plumbing issues. Thanks Chris.

We called Chris' company and had a call back within 30 minutes. We scheduled a time for him to look at our job. He was on time for that appointment. He's very respectful, knowledgeable, friendly, and had great ideas on how to clean up our project.

Chris completed our job yesterday, and we will definitely have him back in the new year for a few more projects. You can tell that he has very high standards for him

I highly recommend him.

January 23rd update: We had Chris out today for the third and final stage of our remodel. He installed our hands free Kohler faucet, garbage disposal and garbage disposal button, and the air gap for the dishwasher. The end result is perfection. My husband and I can't say enough about Chris. We really like him as a person, his work ethic, and how prepared he is for the job. I mean....who calls from the hardware store to see if we needed anything. We really like Chris and hope to have him back someday to do more projects. Thank you Chris!

Chris came out to fix a leak problem years in the making. He took care of it fast and efficient! Very professional and a super nice guy! Thanks Chris!

Did a great job welding a tank band.  Very quick response & great work.  Would use him agsin.

Called on the 3rd of July mid morning and he worked til 7pm making it happen.  He's great.  Don't make them like Chris.

Chris is very accommodating, installed three shower head upgrades at my house. Knowledgeable, good at explaining his scope of work. Very good with communicating.

Chris did a great job.  Water heater replacement last minute on a Friday!   Responsive and fair prices.  Highly recommend!

Chris at Finite Plumbing was fantastic!!  I couldn't be happier.  I got several bids on my big project - most of them from large, well known plumbing outfits.  To begin, Finite's bid was by far the least expensive.  Well aware of the you get what you pay for concern, prior to making my final decision, I spent a fair amount of time talking with Chris about the project and getting a feel for his knowledge and experience. I found him professional, very knowledgeable and courteous. Feeling very comfortable about him and his capabilities following our meeting, I gave him the job.  Once hired, he quickly got me on his schedule to do the job, did great work and knocked it all out in one long day.  I won't look any farther than Chris and Finite Plumbing for my next project - regardless of large or small.

When you see water dripping from the corner of your ceiling you know something's seriously wrong, and it's time to call a plumber. So I contacted Finite Plumbing & Welding and (thank God) they responded right away.

Chris Smith showed up and in seconds I knew he could do the job. He came in well-prepared, opened up the wall, and quickly fixed the pipe that was leaking. In less than an hour the problem was resolved and life was back to normal!

I highly recommend this company to anyone with plumbing issues, no matter the size or nature of the job. I've already talked to Chris about our next project, which is to upgrade the kitchen sink. Definitely looking forward to that!

Chris was great. He came out the next day and got the job done quickly. He was friendly and professional. Also, the price was great compared to others. I will be calling him for any future plumbing jobs. Thanks again Chris.

Mountain enterprise employees broke the main waterline for my house. They repaired the line, however the tankless hot water heater and hot water wasn't working at all after the fix.

Chris found the problem and fixed it extremely fast (all after hours). Chris even fine tuned a setting on the water heater I didn't even know existed.

Thanks again!!

Chris came  on time to give us the estimate which was reasonable.  He did a perfect job we definitely recommend him.

10 STARS, 20 STARS!!,....if it was possible to do that  here,...but it isn't. For the most incredible experience in service, integrity, stick-to-it-ness, dogged determination, and even keeled behavior in the face of a most difficult situation from a contractor I have ever experienced...Read on,. Its worth it. It's Super bowl Sunday at my duplex, the tubs, sewer line backs up, we all know the SB is a De facto holiday and I called the main local and reputable companies and was greeted with voice mail which was no surprise. I called Chris at Finite plumbing and he answered and said he would be out the next day. Halleluiah, a family of five is next door and luckily the tubs drained overnight and we were ready to go...Chris knew just what to do and that's what we did, run a snake down the drain line to clear the obstruction,...sadly the snake head broke off in the line but the obstruction was cleared restoring normal plumbing infrastructure. But how to get the broken snake head presented a potentially serious and a more imminent problem,. Kind of like a time bomb. There was no immediate solution but acting on experience I arranged to have the line camera'd the very next day and while the line was clear of water and effluent, I asked that company to tell me how this needs to be fixed and when it could be done which they did do and the very next day,. These solutions were in the thousands of dollars and would have left my circa 1963 plumbing in a better state than when Chris found it, I called Chris, he came back and we looked at the site conditions and Chris said that he, as a one man shop just wasn't able to do an excavation job,. Totally understandable. Chris offered to pay the cost to have another company do the work, handed me in cash the cost to have the line camera'd...I was blown away and told him I would not let this father of 7 kids with another on the way eat this entire cost. Tired of reading this review ?? Better not be because this is where it gets special, Chris asked if he could think about a way to get this hunk of metal out before we did any other work,...over the next 3 days Chris came back and utilized his ingenuity, knowledge of metallurgy, Harry Houdini, and MacGyver cunning and together, ( but mainly Chris)  we got this hunk a metal outa there! This cost Chris money and time and never a hint of disappointment in his demeanor, body language, and impossibly polite and calm. He wasn't going to be beat by the situation,. Sure it  saved us both a greater amount of money had we taken the other path but the elation I think we both felt was akin to completing a mission. I told him I would be lucky to be in a foxhole with him. I wish I could bore you some more with the details of this story,...but I wont. Thank you Chris!,.. and you can have anybody you want call me for a referral anytime

Totally satisfied with the job little tricky cutting cutting stone and plumbing connections in hard to reach places. Chris was able to do a fantastic job,
after install he cleaned up totally all shiny and new. In addition our dog liked him too, and she's real picky.
Looking forward to a big plumbing job coming up and we will be requesting Chris . Thank you

Chris was incredibly helpful and worked with me over text messages and videos to help me solve my problem without even charging me a dime. He was very honest and straight forward with me. In the future if I have any issues I won't call anyone else. I highly recommend Finite Plumbing & Welding!!

We highly recommend Chris from Finite Plumbing. We had him out to replace our 30yr old hot water heater (propane) and couldn't be happier with his work. He was timely, professional and knowledgeable. Quality workmanship. Stop looking and support a local plumber - Call Chris!

Had a broken exterior faucet and had to shut off water main. Chris scheduled repair within hours and fixed it in record time. Very professional, fast communication and very affordable service. Highly recommended!!!

Power outage fried our water heater and we were left without hot water in our vacation home. I emailed Chris and he came out the next day and replaced it. It was amazing how fast he was. Great communication. Will contact him again!

Thank you Chris for the great work you did for us.  You did an outstanding job
We will recommend you to everyone

We've used Finite plumbing many times. The service went above and beyond our expectations. I feel that this company is really the top of its field.

I have to share another review for Chris at Finite Plumbing. Today I had a new refrigerator delivered and the guys tore out a water faucet when driving out. Water was spewing everywhere and we couldn't find the water shut off. I took a risk calling Chris unexpectedly and he answered!!!  He had me put the call on FaceTime, via camera showed me how to shut off the well and agreed to come out and fix it later. He got to me before end of day and fixed it. Now that's real service!!  Chris saved the day for us!!

Chris was responsive, knowledgeable and professional. We appreciate how quickly he fit us into his busy schedule to diagnose and resolve the problem. Highly recommend!!!
