Hoffman Plumbing

We have used Hoffman Plumbing occasionally over the years and have always been very happy with their prompt and thorough response to our needs. But Nate went above and beyond when I left a message last Saturday night. Hoffman Plumbing was the only one to respond of the seven businesses I called and Nate came out at about 9:30 pm to take care of a problem that our weekend renters were having. Great service!  Thank you!

We have used Hoffman exclusively for years to work on our 1930's cabin in Meeks Bay!  They are trustworthy and thorough!

We have used Hoffman plumbing on several occasions, and have been impressed by the work they do.  Jonas is great!  He's punctual and professional, and is super friendly to work with.  We will definitely be using Hoffman plumbing again!

These guys are great!!  On the spot 27/7 which is a rarity in Tahoe.

I've used Hoffman Plumbing several times over the last few years, and they have always been timely and provided top notch service. I trust their advice, and their prices are fair. I highly recommend them!

Too bad there isn't a 6 star (or higher) rating.  We had a plumbing problem today.  Hoffman plumbing is very busy this time of year, but when they heard we had to turn off our water they came out anyway.   I called them at about 3PM and the problem was solved by 4:30PM.  Dennis, Cody, Jonas, and Crystal - a family organization who follows the old school business philosophy - give a fair deal and stand behind your work - no matter how busy.  To Hoffman Plumbing customer satisfaction is obviously their #1 priority.  Thanks so much Hoffman plumbing - we really appreciate you!!

Integrity at its finest! These guys are on it! My house was freezing so I thought my heater was broken. They came right out ti the cabin to let us know it was the propane. I guess with all the snow we burned through it a little quicker that we thought. I really appreciated the quick service that Hoffman plumbing gave us since we typically have to turn our vacation rental over pretty quickly! As far as plumbing they are at the top of our list! Thanks guys!

Dennis, Lorene, and Jonas are awesome in every way!!  They are most responsive to all your plumbing needs, very knowledgable and extremely fair in their prices. They have helped out in short notice, during holidays and after hours. They are completely honest and work really hard. Over many many years I have found them the organization to call whether it be a project, a repair, or an emergency. They are consistently excellent. You will not be disappointed!!  Ralph A

Top points for responding right away and making time asap to check our heating unit , our wall unit turns out to be too old to deal with for many other businesses in the area, not for Hoffman, kind folks, great service. Highly recommend

They were recommended by a local contractor to install a new pressure regulator for a home in Tahoe city.  I was Very happy with my interactions with them, quality of work and the cost was appropriate. Happy to write a review

Awesome service from the guy who came out I think his name was Joe. Very friendly I called on Saturday when they normally don't work when we had a pipe break while me, my wife and newborn were up at our family's cabin in Tahoe. He came and was very friendly, knowledge, did an awesome job and left zero mess. I hope everyone uses them, they are my go to plumbing company in Tahoe from now on.

Prompt. Efficient. We needed a couple of toilet replaced and they returned our call in a half an hour, discussed our options and the next day they did the work. They kept us up to date on their schedule and were here when they said they would be. They cleaned up after the installation to the point you would not even know work had been done.

Thanks very much to Nate and Jonas of Hoffman Plumbing. They responded immediately to our water heater problem. We recommend them highly. They don't quit till problem solved and even during busy holidays were here.  Very nice and professional.

Jonas from Hoffman plumbing was right on time, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. He took time to answer all my questions so I could get to know the plumbing in my new house better, and he answered my questions in a way I could understand. Absolutely the best plumber I've worked with in the area. I highly recommend him!

Furnace crapped out Thanksgiving weekend and They were there to save the day the very next morning.  Fixed quickly, for a fair price and just good people!  Highly recommend.

Hoffman plumbing came quickly and were very courteous. They diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. I would use them again.

Jonas came by and quickly fixed my issues on the weekend!  Great guy.  I tried contacting several plumbers and Hoffman was the only outfit that returned my call!  Great service, very friendly, and knowledgable.   I highly recommend this family owned business.  I will definitely use them again.

The Hoffman's are very reliable, and prompt.  They keep their appts.  We use them for our cabin opening and closing.  Takes the worry out of Cabin closing screw up.  Thanks Jonas, Dennis, and Cody...  prior owner of Cabin used a Flat Land. Plumber.  Eeek,  Spring opening leak.  Hoffman's fixed it right and in no time.

I have been using Hoffman Plumbing for over 20 years, from fixing leaky faucets, garbage disposal replacement, and pressure regulator valve to the installation of an on-demand water heater.  They are always fast, fair friendly and efficient.  Most importantly they are reliable.  I would not dream of going anywhere else for my plumbing needs.

This negative review is entirely based off of our interaction with one single employee.  It is regrettable that Cody should negatively reflect upon the entire company.  I would love to give Hoffman Plumbing another chance, with a better caliber of employee.  We have used them once before with no issues.

Not only did the assigned technician fail to show for a scheduled appointment yesterday with no notification but he had the audacity to call today and ask if we still needed a plumber.  Square your people away Hoffman Plumbing, it sounded like this laser opened a beer in the background at noon on a weekday!  

I was in a physical therapy appointment when Cody called and informed him of such.  When asked what time I would be home I informed him of a time after my appointment.  Initially he agreed to come and then said That's later in the day, I don't want to.  I usually pretend like other appointments run late.

I know the labor market is rough in Tahoe but fire this chump, if you're not an asset you're a liability.  I was told I should find another plumber.  You have an employee actively turning away existing customers.  

This is very disappointing from a company I was otherwise satisfied with.  Please reach out to me to resolve this issue.

UPDATE:

Following this review I did receive a call from Hoffman Plumbing.  It turns out who I thought was a slacker employee is actually the owner.  Based off the extremely unprofessional interaction with the dispatcher as wee (including profanity) I would not recommend Hoffman Plumbing.  I will be sharing this negative experience with everyone I know.  Expect many more negative reviews across multiple platforms.

I believe Fred W. without a doubt.  Based off the total lack of professionalism and utter disregard for customer service, it does not seem beyond reason this clan of conmen and women would blatantly commit credit card fraud.  Fred, you should probably take these amateurs to small claims court if not more.  I will be filling a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and with the California plumbers licensing authority.  I recommend you do as well.

This review only reflects Hoffman Plumbing Inc. Lake Tahoe hoffmanplumbingtahoe.com I do not know whether on not there is any relation to the larger and more professional looking Hoffman Plumbing located in Nevada, which also services Lake Tahoe. hoffmanplumbing.com

This is a small local company that does mediocre work, however the biggest issue with them is that once they have your credit card number they begin adding charges long after the job is completed without authorization or notification - probably counting on the fact that people won't dispute them.  So be for-warned about their shoddy business practices and choose one of the other more honest local plumbers. (And that's putting it nicely!).  
PS - Loved the way that Karri in their office lost her temper and cursed us out.......totally unprofessional and rude.  Our neighbors witnessed the conversation and chose another company for a major job as a result.
UPDATE:  The owner indicated that they are amenable to work out issues, however after being cursed out by Karri no one has bothered to reach out to us at all.   Very disappointing.

These guys are solid. Family run and operated in the mountains for over 20 years - these guys have seen it all. The whole team, starting at the front office, is super friendly and knowledgeable. I will not use anyone else.

Jonas came out on a Saturday to check on a propane leak at the shutoff valve. Confirmed multiple leaks including at the secondary relief valve. I had called Ferrellgas about trying to a replacement and they suggested that we try to take it apart and clean it. Jonas did that and was able to address all the leaks. In addition Jonas suggested we cover the vent leading under our home that is located at the shutoff. I did as he suggested.

Great service. Great attitude. They are my new go to plumbers in Tahoe.

Jonas helped us with installing a gas furnace, hot water tank and connecting our washer/dryer in our cabin.  He was great at educating us on options for tackling the remodel.  We really appreciated his thoughtfulness and speed at getting our job done.   I would definitely recommend Hoffman Plumbing!

Got up to my place after the power had been out for 48 hours to find that the heater and nest system was not working. The house was registering at a whopping 43° and when I left Hoffman plumbing a message it was returned within 10 minutes. Jonas and his team were responsive, polite and assisted me in not freezing to death overnight! I'd recommend them any day of the week.

Again Hoffman Plumbing came through for us. We arrived at our Tahoe home in the evening to find out we had a broken valve under the house. The next morning I called Hoffman Plumbing and Kerri was able to fit us in that day. Senior Hoffman and his son quickly took care of the broken valve and even replaced another one so we would avoid more issues in the future.

Not only is Hoffman Plumbing professional, but they are friendly and proactive. Thanks, Hoffman!

Hoffman Plumbing is the best plumber I have ever worked with. Very compassionate during emergency situations and so nice to deal with.  Very responsive any time under all plumbing circumstances. Fair pricing! Our go to plumber. Great work always.
