Colorado Plumbing & Gas Lines

First off Nick, Jim and Lilly are all fantastic. I will fully and wholly recommend Colorado Plumbing & Gas Lines for ANY of your plumbing or gas line needs. Lilly works at the office and sets up the appointments. She is so kind and friendly to deal with on the phone. We stumbled upon Colorado Plumbing & Gas Lines strictly by accident. Through an exterior sewer line warranty I called with concerns about my sewer lines slow draining. I set up an appointment with the warranty company who contracts with local plumbing companies to do warranty work for them. The warranty company set up a time to have my sewer line scoped with a camera. I already knew my cast iron sewer line had to be replaced inside the house and I had 5 bids from local companies and also some large chain companies for an estimate. I figured if I had problems outside the house could get fixed at same time as inside the house.

    My bids all came in and ranged between 9-25k. While Nick came over to scope the line for the warranty company, I asked him to give me a bid for the inside the house work. I told him that I was waiting on some bids and he said that he would get me one too. Nick said that he'd be more than happy to talk to me AFTER the sticker shock from the competition wore off. The bid to replace all the above ground cast iron sewer and a large stretch of nearly 20' of under the concrete slab in my basement, add a gas line since we wanted a gas oven, add a drain for my washing machine and also add a drain for our dishwasher was under 8k.

    What really got me was Nick had a wonderful personality. He said that we didn't need to do certain things and wasn't trying to upsale us. His honesty was refreshing. I made an appointment with Lilly to get Nick to come back and replace the sewer line. Unfortunately we ran into asbestos floor tiles sitting on top of the concrete we were going to have removed and also in the drywall. At that point we had to have that professionally abated and had to cancel our original appointment. I called Lilly and talked to her and she was completely understanding and fantastic to deal with. We called a couple of months later after the asbestos had been abated and rescheduled the sewer replacement.

    Jim and Nick showed up and literally started tearing out the old sewer lines and replacing them. They made sure that we were able to have waste lines for our toilet shower and sinks at the end of each day since it's our only home and we were living in it during this week long process. Jim and Nick are absolutely awesome, with great personalities. They made the process tolerable and were so informative and friendly. They will stand behind their work too.

    One final thing that impressed me was when the city inspector showed up and checked the plumbing, he said that they did nice work. He also was impressed with the fact they bonded the gas line, which the inspector said he doesn't see often and again mentioned he was impressed with the plumber.

    If you need a sink replaced or your entire house or business plumbed, do yourself a favor and call Colorado Plumbing & Gas Lines, you WON'T be disappointed.

Nick installed a new hot water heater for me and found a problem with the venting. Even though it wasn't technically part of the installation he spent a considerable amount of time explaining and fixing this problem for me - AT NO CHARGE. I highly recommend this company.

We hired Colorado Plumbing and Gas to move a gas line on a home we are remodeling. Lilly was so friendly and helpful in scheduling our appointment and getting us what we need. Nick was not only personable, but knowledgable, informative, and up front with his costs and timeframe for completing the work. Both Nick & Lilly are always pleasant - even when I ask a million questions! (which is common since I know virtually nothing about plumbing) Nick even let us know we were missing a vent for our water heater, which he noticed while installing the new gas line. Their pricing though not necessarily the cheapest, is fair (we had received some seriously inflated quotes previously) and Nick gets the job done efficiently and you won't have to worry about it being done right.
We would definitely recommend/refer them to anyone needing a good, honest plumber! Nick and Lilly are the best!

Loved working with Colorado Plumbing and Gas Lines.  We used them to install a gas line in our backyard before pouring concrete.  They were very informative about how much things would cost and how much we could save ourselves if we dug the trenches ourselves.  I loved working with Nick! So personable and informative! He's a good guy to know!  I would use them again in a heartbeat and absolutely recommend them!

I contacted Colorado Plumbing and Gas Lines to install a gas line for a gas range in my kitchen.  The ladies that I spoke with in their office were incredibly helpful and friendly.  They gave me good information up front which was greatly appreciated.

The gas line was run by Jim who did a great job. I could not be there during the installation, however, my father who was there during the installation had nothing but good things to say about Jim.  The work Jim did was clean, simple and discrete.  He even took the time to clean up some gas plumbing in my basement that was not done correctly by the previous owner of the house.  When he was done, Jim cleaned up the small mess he made and left my space in better condition than it started.

My only complaint is, when I scheduled the appointment I was told that they generally schedule the electrician to come out and move the electrical so that there is a 110V plug behind the stove.  This did not happen, and I was told that I was going to need to schedule the electrician for another day.  While this turned out to not be a big deal, because there was already a 110V plug behind the stove, it could have been a real pain in the neck to have to wait another week to use the range, waiting for the electrician.

Over all, I am really happy with Colorado Plumbing and Gas Line.  They were easy to work with, and did a good job.  I will definitely use them again for plumbing and gas line work.

After receiving a quote from another company to replace a small section of pipe that was causing a restriction and low water pressure in our home , we decided to get a second opinion and we are glad to have done so!! A++ for saving us time and money!! HONEST and AFFORDABLE

Jim came out and got my fireplace gas log set connected to the natural gas line and installed an emergency shutoff.  He did a great job and it was no problem for him (numerous other plumbers didn't know how to do it or weren't interested in the job).  I highly recommend!  Thanks Jim--will be loving this come winter!!!

We had this company run a gas line for us to our stove.  After a conversation with both Jim and another with Maggie indicating that I wanted it run under the house and up through the floor, I thought it was a done deal.  I unfortunately could not be at the house and left my wife to deal with the installation.  

Upon my return, I found the line had been run outside my brick home and drilled through the brick wall.  As Jim had just finished I asked him what happened to running it under the house.  Jim's response to me was I didn't even look.
 
Apparently, he just did it the easy way and didn't even go into my crawl space.  He asked my wife if they could run it outside, which she said was fine.  Now, my wife is not a gas line expert (that's why I didn't have her do the job), and I had already clarified in two previous conversations how I preferred it to be done.  Why he didn't even check it out before starting work is beyond me.  

Jim did return after a couple of phone calls and finally looked in the space.  He said it could be done down there, but I would have to pay him again!  He just kept pushing it back on us saying he had approval to do it that way, and still no explanation as to why he ignored our previous two conversations.  He left my home irritated and said do what you have to do, but I'm not doing it for free.  

I had a bid from another company to do the job correctly, and for the same price as these guys, but Jim's company came recommended, so I went with him.   Hopefully this review saves someone from making the same mistake, as I will now have a nice rusty iron pipe bolted to the outside my house.  If you have a problem with their work and want them to correct it, you WILL NOT get anything from them.

UPDATE:  Regarding Maggie's response below... their serious effort was to come out to tell me they could have done it the way I wanted, and now wanted to charge me again to do it correctly.  Notice that no mention of the two prior conversations I had with them is even addressed.  Pushing the problem back on the customer seems to be their MO.  And Maggie, these tools are here to give consumers a voice where they didn't have one before, but the only one who can ruin your reputation is YOU.  

Hopefully the two hours of labor (the materials were already paid for) you saved by not fixing the mistake was worth this bad review for you. This is why the plumbing industry as a whole continues to have a generally bad reputation.  This could have so easily been corrected and you would have had REFERRALS from a happy customer instead of complaints!  Yes, I will continue inform as many as possible about my experiences with you, exactly as I would if I had a positive experience.  Would you consider that abuse?

Jim and Nick Unger are fantastic plumbers.  Being a first time home owner, it's tough to find home professionals that you love.  We've had mixed luck with electricians and good luck with landscapers.  But as for plumbers, we've now got our guys.

We initially needed help during a kitchen remodel.  The guys working on the cabinets discovered two things they couldn't handle - some leaky shut-off valves under the kitchen sink and a gas line mounted to the bottom of a cabinet that they couldn't disconnect.  If we couldn't get these things handled right away, our whole kitchen remodel would be on hold.  I called the guy who had installed the gas line, but he wasn't available.  So, I called Colorado Plumbing and Gas just from looking up a nearby plumber on Yelp, even though there were no reviews.  Jim answered and said that either he or Nick could come out later that day.

Within two hours, Jim was at the door.  In no time he replaced the shut-offs and capped and disconnected the gas to the stove.  No emergency visit fee or anything - just an hour of work and a few parts.  When we later discovered that we needed help hooking up our new kitchen sink drain, Jim was able to come out the next day.  And when it turned out that there were some leaks in the drain that were really due to some iffy work on our part, they still came out twice more to fix them at no charge because, as they said, they should have found those problems in the first place.

These guys know what they're doing, they treat their customers right, and they're great to talk to.  If you need a plumber, call this family business.

Have you ever woke up to standing water in the basement?!!? I thought it would take until at least the next day for Nick the tech to make it out. Nope he was there right on time that day! Problem fixed- FYI flush-able wipes are still not good to flush!
While Nick was fixing our issue he noticed our dryer was missing. Yep it took a dump. After taking his own time to look around the area he informed us we already had the pipes running for gas and they could get it hooked up if need be. Nick then came out and installed our gas dryer once we purchased one. He also told us about our stove if we want to convert- the things needed for it. He was so helpful. I felt like we were in great hands from the call to Nick leaving our door. I would never call another plumber/gas guy! EVER!!
Thank you Colorado Plumbing and Gas Lines!

We smelled gas in our house at 9:30 at night.  We had Excel out to shut off the gas and in the morning I called about 5 different companies before I found Colorado Plumbing and Gas.  They fit us into their schedule that day and fixed both sources of leaks (one from the stove and a second major leak from the furnace).  Very prompt and professional!

Nick came out to install a couple gas lines for a dryer and stove. He did a great job and the price was the best I found. I was not there to see the issue but he found a gas leak within existing pipe and fixed that as well. I will be using this company for all future plumbing needs.

I have worked with Nick and Lilly for over 5 years with service for my bar in Lone Tree. Nick has been wonderful to work with. He is extremely professional and has always gone above and beyond with his workmanship. He's handled everything from simple clogs to more serious commercial plumbing work. His prices have always been extremely fair - and downright cheap compared to the level of service provided. He also does regular maintenance for the bar and does things behind the scenes that often I'm not even aware of. I've recommended their company to several friends and everyone has always been very happy with their work. It's a family run company (as is my own) so I'm always happy to support them. Both Nick and Lilly are extremely friendly and funny to boot!

Jim installed a new gas line for our stove. He was expert and very fast! Highly recommend him and the company.

Wanted to run gas line for a dryer and stove. After inspecting my home it was determined that lines could not be run without tearing into drywall or routing the lines in a long and expensive manner. They were very thorough in showing me exactly where the issues were and suggested that it was in my best interest to stick with electric. I appreciate that they had my best interests in mind instead of tearing into my house so that they could make a buck. I will be working with this company in the future.

I contracted Colorado Pluming and Gas Lines to install a gas line for our new range. Lilly who I spoke to via phone was very helpful and friendly. Jim came out to our house to give us an estimate (which was far more affordable than other estimates). We paid $600 rather than over $1000 quoted from others. They where not only affordable but didn't need to rip into the drywall which was suggested by other companies. Nick who installed the gas line was wonderful, he was on timely, professional and very friendly. Nick shared with me that this is a family run business. I enjoy giving business to a family. I have already recommended this company to others. You can't go wrong.

Good communication (answered the phone on Thanksgiving day!), fair prices, we will definitely use their services again.

I called these guys after calling 10 Littleton plumbing companies and getting quotes. I chose them because their quote was competitive and because of Michael I's review.  The master bath in my condo was leaking on the unit below. Jim came out, took a look up in the hole my downstairs neighbors had cut in their bathroom ceiling drywall to see what the problem was, confirmed it was probably a bad toilet seal, and then replaced it. He was friendly, courteous, and professional. He educated me throughout the process, and gave me his opinion on some questions I had about the plumbing in my kitchen. It has been almost 2 months since he did the work and I haven't heard my neighbors complain, so I assume the new seal is leak free. I'll call these guys again if I have plumbing needs.

Quick fast service.
On time.
Fair pricing.

Needed a gas line run for my dryer.  Jim ran the line and charged me a fair, per linear sq ft rate.  Avoid the Flat Rate plumbers as I got a much higher price for the same job ($900 vs $500).

Need a permit?  They'll do that also at the county rate.  Was told that they did not need to charge me extra for that.

What's not to like?

I had a disappointing, not to mention costly, experience with this business.

They contacted me after getting my name from a referral site (I mentioned to the appliance repairman that the fireplace needed work, and next thing I know Maggie called.) Maggie promised to send their master plumber Jim, who has experience installing gas fireplaces and could fix mine for $150-$250 excluding parts.

The fireplace worked earlier this year (produced a flame and heat) until it was shut off because of a noticeable gas smell.

Jim arrived tinkered for almost two hours (he attached a wire, lit the pilot and tightened a bolt in the keyhole) and was about to leave without even checking whether the fireplace worked. Luckily, I flipped the switch and discovered -- no flame. Still, I was charged $175 and told I would be referred to someone else. Four weeks later, no referral and they cashed my check.

If, like me, you are on a limited budget, I would question the integrity of a business that culls referral sites, charges $100/hour, and leaves without performing the promised services. I won't be using or recommending Colorado Plumbing and Gas in the future.

First of all, I love supporting a family business, so I'm always hopeful that I'll get good work. I was not disappointed in these guys. We moved into a house that was recently remodeled, and of course whoever did the remodel screwed things up. We've had to call them out twice to fix problems created by others, and I couldn't ask for better help. The first time the fix was so easy he asked if we had any other items that needed a look since we were still under their minimum charge to come out. We had him look at something else that I'd thought we might have to budget for later, and he fixed it quickly and it was within the charge for the service call. Thrilled!

The next time we had to call them, we got similarly quick and friendly service, and I was walked through a couple of fixes so that we could make the right choice for our budget and circumstances. I sorta wanted to hug the guy ;-)

Fabulous service! Right on time, very knowledgeable and friendly.  Reasonably priced.  We have found our go-to plumbers! Very happy with our experience.  Couldn't have asked for anything more.
