We check Yelp reviews before using services and are posting a review in return.

We recently had two maintenance services from K.A.P.
It was very easy to schedule the appointments and the service provider gave the estimate while on-site and before beginning the work. We had sent the parts in advance for the bathroom repairs (toilet parts & faucet replacement) and he had additional parts with him that were needed as well. Everything went smoothly and looks good.

Great customer service. He responded fast and came to my house the same day. He explained the situation very well and charged a fair price.

This was the first time I used VanGo Rooter. I keep changing plumbing companies because I've never found any that are that great to be loyal to.  I think that has finally changed.  I will be using VanGo Rooter in the future.   They scheduled me for the same day, arrived early and I got a call from the office when they were arriving.  Rich did a great job.  I thought there was a crack in the drain pipe for our washer, and that we would need a new pipe.  Rich inspected it thoroughly and found that it was leaking at the connection.   He had the part and was able to easily fix it.  He saved me a lot of time and money.  Very honest, friendly and proficient in his work.  VanGo is now in my rolodex...will definitely use him again.  Thanks Rich!

I would read Yasmin V.'s review and whatever she wrote, I would second. We just closed on our first home ever, and PSL was our very first project. Book them early (we booked them before we closed and even sent the deposit check to Everest before closing). If all of our upcoming renovations go as smoothly as how it went with Everest Plumbing, the renovations gods will have blessed us. Got the compliance certificate the night that work was completed. Amazingly smooth.

Roman gave me the estimated cost through request-a-quote in minutes. He showed up right on time the next day as scheduled and really cared about my inquiries.  He knew exactly what to do with my back door replacement. I was pleased with the quality of work done.

Sewer lateral review:
Responsive. Quick and painless transaction.  Reached out to setup the job and got my PSL cert in less than a week.

I couldn't be more satisfied with the work and professionalism of this company.  Price is competitive especially for the trenchless non-invasive method.  

Definitely recommend to anyone looking to change out their sewer lateral.

I called this company and owner Vlad answered the phone. He was rude and said he could not come to the job site for a free Consultation. He hanged up on me and was not very professional. Very bad stay away.

Service Star Plumbing responded in minutes and were able to fix our problems at a great rate and in little time. Will definitely be going to this service again if needed in the future!

The situation: our bathroom at the office.  The scenario: the faucet was broken inadvertently by our housekeeper.  After having one of our guys--NOT plumbers clearly--look at it the search began for an elusive part.  Dozens of plumbers & plumbing supply companies later and still no part.  Months pass and we are washing our hands not in the bathroom but in a nearby sink.  It isn't pretty.
One day I pass Lunt Marymor on the way into work.  I call them.  The lovely woman who answers asks me to describe the faucet, then asks me to send a pic from my phone.  She IDs ithe faucet from the pic!!  How cool is that???   Some German faucet company.  Anyhoo, she gives me a quote--and sadly, I know my boss is not going to go for it.  But then she calls ME back to say there is a less expensive yet similar style faucet she knows of, half the price.  Long story short: we are washing our hands in our bathroom like civilized people now and Lunt Marymor is the reason why.
Thank you thank you thank you!

We recently discovered we needed to get the portion of our sewer line under the sidewalk replaced. We had a quote for the replacement from a plumber we knew and trusted, but got one from Atlas to make sure the price we were getting was competitive. Atlas way underbid our usual plumber so we ended up going with them and we're glad we did. Mike was wonderful-- very responsive and reliable. As far as we can tell, the work they did was good. Even our neighbors commented on how considerate and efficient the guys were. (That really says something since part of what they were doing was jack-hammering into concrete.) We would certainly use them again.

We needed some solution towards issues with allergies , forced heat air when it is cold and didn't appreciate cold floors.  So, we found this company!   We had our home installed with heated floors.  It was the best decision ever!

We had warm floors installed throughout the first floor of our home.  Not only did it provide energy efficiency, it provides comfort  throughout those really cold months. When we turn on our heater, we don't experience hot air blowing to our faces anymore.  It's comfortable and toasty inside while it is freezing cold outside.  In fact, I am able to wear shorts and tank top inside the home because of how comfortable the temperature is.  The warmth also goes up to the 2nd floor!

Service was great!  They answered all our questions and assisted with whatever we wanted to know.  It is a great long term investment plus definitely adds value to your home!  I definitely recommend this company for your heated floors installation. It was the best investment!

Gil was reliable and helper fixed the leak at home. He was cost effective and highly reliable.

John was terrific. He came to install two barroom faucets and was timely in his arrival and completed his work  within the time he had estimated.
There was an unknown complication with the existing plumbing which he fixed for us at no charge. He is a likeable dude.

After getting two recommendation from Next Door for this one company and Andy the owner I didn't even get a second estimate.  After a lovely experience (!) with getting a new water heater he gave me some very useful tips about my low water pressure.  Look no further.

I've had a wonderful experience with HH over the last 8 months on my house remodel.  Rick has been a great resource and always super responsive and solution oriented.  We had some major projects (HVAC, tankless water heaters, exterior painting) as well as a lot of interior work (new quartz countertops, recessed lighting, painting, new closets, etc).  When we hit snags (inevitable with SF remodels) Rick always found a creative, cost-effective solution. The subs he brought in on the big stuff and the team from HH who did all the interior work were all great (esp Vince) and Louise in the office is incredibly helpful and pleasant.

Ruben is the man! He not only does quality work but he also takes the time to explain your repair in terms you can understand. I've called him to do plumbing work at my house multiple times and he has always been professional and courteous. Most recently he fixed a pipe that ruptured under my house the same day. Thanks Ruben!

It's not just the professionalism, or the kind manner, or the on-time arrival of the workers, but the QUALITY OF THE WORK Albert Nahman Plumbing craftspeople do that makes me call them back again and again. Thank you, Javier, for installing a new kitchen faucet and cleaning up so tidily after the job. My daughter is SO happy!

I feel heard, appropriately kept in the loop via text about when the plumber is coming and his name, truly cared for by office personnel who want to be sure I choose the correct faucet for the job so call me back with good information for what to look for, and also so delighted that Albert Nahman supports community causes that help our whole city... like Coalition of Concerned Medical Professionals who help those who have fallen through the health care cracks by pairing benefit recipients with Doctors, Dentists, and Optometrists who provide care at no cost.

Thank you!

We used Pipe Spy to replace our sewer lateral (the pipe connecting our house with the sewer main in the street). They did an excellent job on the work itself -- got it done within one day, then the city inspectors came the next day and they closed up the holes -- and they cleaned up well. They also did a good job when they gave us their initial estimate of explaining the issues, looking for the least expensive solution etc.

The reason I'm giving them only three stars was in scheduling the job. They scheduled it once, then called to reschedule. Then they didn't show up on the day they had rescheduled. I stayed home from work waiting for them -- I finally called them, and the guy in charge of our job said oops, we had something else come up yesterday.

Unprofessional and annoying. How hard is it to call the night before to say hey, can we reschedule again?

On the other hand, they did a good job on fixing the pipe.

Their work and team are excellent and they understand and delivery great furnace repairs at a fair price. SUPER responsive and easy to work with for emergencies and their integrity is excellent.  The tech Jordan was super knowledgeable and easygoing,  leaving us clear on status of our furnace, giving an evaluation of the quality and reassuring us that repairs were worth it. When warranty follow up was needed Joey the owner handled everything easily and performed follow up work quickly and only charged for materials. He made it easy for me to decide whether or not to buy parts on my own and made everything painless. I waited awhile to post my review and can affirm that the fix is still working great afterwards. I am happy to have a locally owned company in my contacts and will recommend them to anyone who asks!
