Best Businesses in Kansas City, MO

Riden Plumbing has been my go to plumber for over 20yrs. The customer service is over the top. Dan Riden has personally stopped by on his way home or on the weekend to help me out. They stand by their service and the warranties for the products they install.

I can not recommend Harding enough. Our a/c went out at our house on a Saturday. Jess came out less than an hour after I called. Our circumstances were dire, as we were closing on this house and moving the next Wednesday. Jess was able to fit us in prior to closing while other companies were a week or two out. He even called our home warranty company himself to try and remediate some issues behind the scenes for us. All in all, Jess and his company are quick, honest, reliable, and well priced. I will be using him for the foreseeable future and recommending him to my family and friends.

Gene is a nice guy. Does a great job!!!! Got all my Plumbing done at a very fair price. Keep On Truckin gene!!

We have used Alan for all our plumbing needs for 20 years.  He also does some electrical, washer/ dryer repair, dishwasher repair, refrigerator/icemaker hookups, etc.  He is honest and reliable.

Way undercut al other estimates and delivered excellent service!!  All repairs have lasted almost a year and I continue to have no problems!!

I was referred to Witter Plumbing and Electric from a family.  I required a number of upgrades to a home I was purchasing.  The seller had several estimates for repairs and gave me funds in closing for repairs.  Witter took the estimates and inspection report and said his parts and labor charges would be much lower.  He was right.  He saved me over $1000 in which I was able to add to my down payment!

Repairs included:
-A repair of the electrical box which had portion that was melted.  *This had to be fixed before I could move in.
-An upgrade in toilet and plumbing from a small and ancient midtown toilet to an adult sized one.  
-Fixed a leaking and damaged pipe.  
-Safeguarded an exposed live wiring on a newly installed water heater. ( missed in inspection)
-Installed wiring to a fan to remove hot air from the attic installed by roofers.
-Upgraded old and faulty shower fixtures.

Follow-up review. After continuing service with them another four years we finally got the news we were anticipating for awhile. The central heating and air conditioning units that were in the house when we moved in before out 22 yr. old daughter was born were headed for replacement. Cheaper to do both at once and today was the day.

Cha-ching. That kind of equipment and installation is pricey. You know that, I know that.

Guys arrive at 7:30 a.m., are out of the house by 4:30 p.m. (my wife even made lunch for them) and everything installed including a walk-through to show us the new gear, and... wow, immediately, the heater is running less, running quieter, better moisture in the air. We're more comfortable, win-win. We are really happy. Installation looks like a million bucks and we are set for a long time now. Amazing how this company continues to really impress us.

Sure, go ahead and use Yelp to review that espresso shop for the 500th time. Never know when that might be critical, but a business like this and less than a handful off reviews? That's just sad. Take a good look at this one. These folks kill it with superior service.

William was very rude and condescending towards my wife.  My wife would ask basic questions and he would respond as if her asking him questions was ruining his day.  William also charged $400 to cap two lines and install two shut off valves when they could have just as easily replaced the cartridge valve.  There's absolutely no way to justify these prices, it was absolutely ridiculous.  I will NOT be using them again.  Anthony PHC knew we were behind the 8 ball as we needed the water to quit running out of our leaky bathtub ASAP and they charged WAY too much for it.

Snake 'n' Rooter claims to offer senior discounts.  When my 81 year old mother did not receive her discount the customer service representative, Linda, actually laughed and hung up on me when I called to inquire about my mother's discount.  The took four and a half hours to install a kitchen faucet, remove a garbage disposal and ream a couple of drains.  I think they cheated her by extending the time needed for the repair and not giving the discount advertised.  Don't use this company because they will cheat you and have a good laugh about it.

Joel at Spirit plumbing did a great job servicing my tankless water heater and installing new pipes to fix some leaking.  Knowledgeable and reasonable rates. He was recommended to me by other plumbers (who do commercial plumbing only), and he's the first plumber I call for residential work.

Great company and great people to work with Had a sump pump emergency during the heavy flooding last week. They had me up and fixed in an hour.  175. Will use them for all my plumbing needs thanks again guys

This was a tough project with many obstacles, but the True Blue Plumbing team got it done.  Our rental is older, other things had been built around the old water heater throughout the years, so it was difficult to get it out.  On top of that, the main gas valve outside was rusty and got stuck, so I had to call KS Gas Service to come out to replace it.  It took 2 appointments to get the new water heater installed - no faults of the plumbing team.  Kuddos to Travis and Michael for their efforts.  And they kept me informed of what was going on throughout the whole process.  Highly recommend the True Blue Plumbing company!

I used Rising Son Plumbing for a commercial job, and they did a great job.  On time everyday, worked hard everyday, and came in on bid.  Earl, the owner, keeps close eye on his guys so even when he was not there the job is done very professionally.  

I would most certainly use them again in the future, and recommend you give them a try as well.  You will not be disappointed.

My wife called them to have our tub drain unclogged and was quoted at 130.00 for 100' snake service on drains. And extra fees for beyond that 100'. Which sounded reasonable and we were assured that most homes never really needed any extra snaking last the 100'. The guy gets here. He was a nice guy. Told me he couldn't put a snake down the drain because of the type of drain spout that was installed. (No other plumber has had a problem snaking it). So I show him the basement where everything is. He told me I should put a drain clean out so when/if he comes back, he can get to it easier and have it done in 20 min. He also told me he only had 30' of snake.......(Why tell people they get 100' of snaking but only carry 30'). So he fought eight the pipes to get them open. He gets the drain cleaned... but a ton of water all over the floor. Our basement is unfinished and we are not unfamiliar with a little standing water in the coroner after a rain but to have standing water because of pipe unclogging.

After all that. He fills out the ticket and charges an extra $100 dollars for extra effort of having to go through the pipes in the basement. Left the garage side door wide open when he left and the gate to our yard as well. Irritating because I had the dogs in the bedroom and they were barking through the door at him as he walked by. He apparently had no regard for other people's home in terms of letting all the bugs, mice and who knows what else in our house. Let alone heating and cooling.  

Would not recommend this company.

Update: some of our stuff in the basement has been ruined and is being thrown away. A folding chair and Christmas ornaments primarily. Simple things to most people but when they contain memories it's still significant.

Warning:  DO NOT HIRE LLYOD THE PLUMBER!!!  Our tenant was without hot water for a couple of days.  We found Lloyd from Craigslist.  He called and asked us to pay for the water heater when he picked it up from Lowe's.  After he got the water heater he decided he did not want the job.  When I tried to ask him to return the water heater to Lowe's so I could hire another plumber, he sent me a text: Fxxx you and then stopped responding. He stole a $500 water heater from me and then disappeared!!! Now I tried to find his listing on CL again and they are all disappeared!!

Home owners, BE AWARE!!!!

Now if you were his next customer, be very careful, because he might install a stolen water heater in your house!

Came out just a couple of hours after I contacted them and cleared my kitchen drain. I think it was around $120 after the $15 off coupon on their website. Plumber was no nonsense and efficient. Would definitely use them again

Solid crew. Every person I have interacted with from this company has been courteous, thorough and knowledgable. I have recommended them to friends and family and will continue doing so in the future.

I had a stopped up sewer.line zoom came out within one hour and technician gave me options and was very professional took care of problem cleaned up after work completed I will definitely use for all plumbing needs they even called next day to make sure I was happy thanks Zoom drains

The business is posted twice with slightly different names, but it's still the same crooked business.
Jay no longer works the field, he only handles the business side, leaving his less than reputable wife, and her mentally challenged son to destroy anything left of the reputation that Jays pluming had.

I hired them to replace my main water line, they were running average of all the bids.  They guaranteed that I would be satisfied with their service and were very professional.... That's a lie!!!

One of the crew propped open the truck door and urinated in my driveway! I have a 15 year old girl that lives across the street and several girls behind us! Let alone, it was in my driveway!!!
Their best employee was bidding out work on my house, for off the clock extra work. Their manager, Jays step son, threw his trash out in my yard, and when I said something his response was it'll get buried when we fill the hole! Not the point!
They filled the gap where the new line comes into the house with window caulking instead of seam sealer or plumbers putty, they didn't reconnect my ground rod to my electrical panel and left me with deplorable excavating! My meter well is 6-8 inches below grade and I had a super high hump in my yard because they didn't finish!
Then Jays wife came to my house and demanded to be paid! Hey finish the job first!  Let alone they broke the law and didn't seed the raw dirt that law required!

Stay away from them!
This is a terrible company
They go through employees like drill bits because they pay them or they short them. An employee can put a lien on your house to collect payment.
