JM Plumbing Services

We rent our home as a vacation rental and on Thanksgiving we received a call that our stove wasn't working. Josh went over right away and had it fixed. He has also worked with other vendors (who weren't reliable) to make sure our project was complete!

Josh was a pleasure to work with and did a great job installing a water heater and nest thermostat for us today. He was an excellent communicator and kept us informed as he balanced multiple jobs. He completed the job in a timely fashion.
We have just recently moved to Incline from South Lake Tahoe. Having experienced the no call back, over promising and under delivering in our past Tahoe basin experiences Josh was a breath of fresh air. We highly recommend Josh for any of your plumbing needs. You will not be disappointed.

Josh is great!  He returned my call on a Sunday and fit me into his very busy schedule on a Monday.  He repaired my hot water heater so I had hot water again!  He was professional, personable and communicated with me during the day so I knew when he would be arriving.  I highly recommend him and will use his company again.

Josh answered the phone when I called, then made it to Kings Beach in 15 minutes in time for PUD to show up and turn the water back on after shutting off the broken irrigation system.

Handled my elderly mother with care and got her water back on.

Not cheap but you get what you pay for - especially with the whole thing fixed start to finish in an hour.

A+

It was a pleasure to work with Josh. He always updated us on the process and professionally did all the work needed. We recommend this company's services for everyone.

Josh called back the same day I left a message about a leak in kitchen sink.  We scheduled an appt and he arrived on time.  After discovering the source of the leak, he contacted manufacturer to get replacement cost at no charge.  He kept me up to date about expected delivery.  He again arrived on time and left the area neat and clean. Very professional...job well done!

Josh was extremely thorough in replacing the parts needed to fix an older heating unit. He came over quickly to do the repairs and had very good communication. The pricing was fair for the parts and labor - I will definitely be using his services again.

I am buying a condo in Incline Village and needed to have a new gas line run for my gas dryer. Called Josh a couple weeks in advance and set up a time the Monday after our closing date for him to come look at and quote the job.

He explained that the permitting, testing, and work would probably take 3-5 days. I stressed to him that timing was important because we would be moving in five days after the day he was going to look at the job and didn't want to be stuck without a dryer for too long. We agreed that Monday morning at 8:00 would work for both of us.

He didn't show up, his phone went straight to voicemail all day long, and his voicemail was full. I even tried sending him a text and that went unreplied to. Here we are on Tuesday afternoon and I'm still unable to contact him.

Needless to say, I'm now scrambling for a plumber who can do the job immediately and not having much luck. Looks like we're going to be without a dryer for a while and possibly moving while there's a plumber in and out, if I'm lucky! Thanks Josh.

I discovered that when the place was built the ice-maker cold water line to my refrigerator had been hooked to the hot water circuit instead of cold.  I thought I was going to need my entire wall opened up and re-plumbed. I called Josh at JM Plumbing Services and he came over to figure it out. He came up with a most elegant solution. It required minimum mess and at the same time improved the integrity of the plumbing circuit while providing me a handy shut-off valve I could reach in the event of trouble.  His assistant Matt and he were both very friendly and exceptionally efficient. They were amazingly thoughtful, even wearing protective booties so I wouldn't have to clean up after them. Their price was a bargain as well. I could not be more pleased.

Our pipes froze at about 3 AM this winter. I contacted Josh that day and he was here several hours later. He worked after hours into the dark night in the freezing cold inside and outside the house.  Josh solved a difficult issue with aplomb.

His work ethic is unbelievable. I can't recommend Josh highly enough.
Josh has helped us out before. Remarkably consistent.

Josh was a breath of fresh air after dealing with another plumbing co.  Replaced the water heater in my townhome and helped me deal with my home warranty co to offset most of the cost.  He showed up when he said he would and also arranged for an electrician he recommended to do some related work.  If you're in Incline or nearby, Josh is your guy.

I had used Josh for a few minor repairs in the past. This was a much bigger job for me. Installing a hot water heater, bringing a shut off valve from the crawl space under my condo to the hall closet and plumbing for an ice maker. Josh knew our HOA President and laid all the ground work with him for shutting water to half the complex.

I had a big electrical problem and Josh made a phone call to an electrician who came over and rearranged his schedule to help me. I was grateful the electrical problem happened while Josh was here, as he is highly competent and well connected in the community.

Start to finish he is proffessional and trusted.

Josh was a professional and did a great job in getting the work scheduled and completed in a timely matter. His assessment was correct and his prices were fair.

After an extended absence, I arrived at my Incline Village vacation home to discover a very pungent odor throughout the home.  It stunk!  After the gas company came out and confirmed that it was not a natural gas leak, I called JM Plumbing Services.  Josh quickly worked me into his schedule and he and Matt came out to inspect.  After checking that it wasn't sewer gas escaping from the plumbing, Josh informed me that it was probably a dead animal in the wall.  My first thought was that I was going to have to live with this smell until it naturally went away.  But this is what makes JM Plumbing Services so special!  They didn't leave me stuck in a stinking house.  Josh and Matt investigated where the smell was coming from and determined it was near the washing machine and dryer.  Next, they went outside and noticed that the flap on the end of dryer vent was open.  With that they used an endoscope to look inside and discovered a bird's nest.  Working in very tight spaces and with a strong stench, they were able to run a vent cleaning tool through the vent and push the nest and 3 dead birds out.  Wow, was I happy.  No more stink.  I have used JM Plumbing Services multiple times and have found them to be the very best plumbing company I have ever dealt with.  They are thorough, professional and mostly show a care for their customers that is rare today.  Thanks Josh and Matt!

Josh is a true professional, very extensive knowledge in his trade. Local, honest & respectful.

Responsive, helpful, good work. He installed a hot water attachment on our sink. Worked great, he was fast and professional. Recommended.

Excellent service!  We scheduled with him a couple of weeks in advance and he arrived on time the day we came up to our cabin.  He found a bad thermocouple and cleaned out the hot water heater to give the old beast some more life.

Think twice about this one, had an appointment and he no called no showed. I tried to contact him but he didn't answer, he called back a few days later and said he had an emergency arise and apologized. He rescheduled with me and then AGAIN no called no showed and AGAIN no answer to call or voice mail. This time he never called back. At the very least this practice is unprofessional, but for me it was also disrespectful.

Excellent. Josh Meaders came and fixed our broken pipe perfectly. He was polite, quick, fixed a few other things and I highly recommend him.

Five stars across the board for JM Plumbing. We totally lucked out that they could come to the house right away. Josh was so sweet and helpful...we'd had trouble with both of our toilets over the past 2 years and thought for sure they both needed to be replaced but he fixed them both up in less than 30 minutes!!!! THIS IS WHO YOU WANT TO CALL-first!! Thank you josh!

Josh was great, the best plumber I have ever used. He is responsive, reliable and he
Knows what he doing! I highly recommend
Josh to anyone looking for a plumber who
Knows his business!

I have to knock a star off Josh since I posted my original review. I still say he does excellent work, but we've had to find someone else because it's seemingly impossible to get him to come and do any more work for us. I hope it's just that he's super busy, and I definitely wish him well.

I called Josh at 10:00pm after our renter called telling us there was a large leak in our condo.
He was professional, calmed me down and arrived at the condo the next day as promised.
He quickly found the problem and fixed it, with little additional damage to the home.  And all at a very reasonable price!
I highly recommend Josh for any job, big or small.

After calling several other plumbing companies and a couple of no-shows, I left a message at JM Plumbing and Josh quickly returned my call. Despite being super busy, he made time to come fix our broken pipe. He was responsive, knowledgeable and did the job at a fair price. I would highly recommend JM Plumbing over any other plumbing companies in North Lake Tahoe.

Josh is amazing! He has been super responsive and ALWAYS shows up when he says he will. He has been prompt in returning calls and never disappoints. I can't recommend him enough. It is so hard these days (especially in this area) to find someone you can count on and Josh went above and beyond!!!

Could not get Josh to call or text me back after initial phone call when he said he would let me know later that morning when he could get to us - initial call was last week. Sent several text messages after that time but no response.

I am writing to share my 6 star review on JM Plumbing.  I requested them here on Yelp to contact us regarding a garbage disposal issue.  Josh the owner called with the hour and set up a next visit. Matt, his guy came on time and within the hour had us completely fixed up
  Highly recommend these guys
Sorry no pictures of the under the sink...   haha

Josh was quick to reply and schedule during the Christmas to New Year holiday week. He has a great personality and know how. He helped me install a washer / dryer unit that had to fit into a very tight space. After some great plumber yoga he was able to reach down the side of my laundry closet and connect the vent. He also took on a change order on the spot and removed the air bumbles from my hydro heating system. I highly recommend Josh at JM Plumbing to anyone in Incline Village. Its so refreshing to hire reliable people with great attitudes and reasonably priced.

Very responsive and knowledgeable during our evening plumbing emergency; would definitely return for our plumbing needs in Tahoe.

Let me start off by saying Josh and his JM Plumbing Services company deserves 5 STARS *****.  Quality of Work - 5 STARS.  Knowledge base - 5 STARS.  Reliability - 5 STARS.   I have an Airbnb rental home in Incline Village and the renters called me on a Saturday night and said there was no hot water. There were 20 people waiting to take a hot shower after a fun day of skiing.   It appears one of two water heater tanks had sprung a leak and was no longer usable.  I called JM Plumbing Services and Josh was at my place witihin 45 minutes.  Within the hour, he separated the unusable water heater by cutting and capping off the water pipes allowing the one remaining water to be used.   My happy renters were able to take their hot showers. Since the one remaining water heating was also past it's useful life,  I asked Josh what type of replacement water heater he recommended.  He convinced me to go tankless and go with a Navien NPE-240A tankless water heater.  I have four full bathrooms so I needed a high capacity hot water system.    I researched it and just as Josh as stated to me, Navien is a very high efficient and low maintenance product and the NPE-240A was the right size.   Josh installed the tankless heater a few days laters just in time for my next Airbnb guests.     I'm able to run all of the showers at the same time without hot water loss.  The quality of his work is unsurpassed!  What I like about Josh is he takes his time to explain in detail what the water situation is and what the recommended remedy is.   I learned a lot from him which furthered my confidence in Josh and his company.   Josh also installs hydronic(base board) heating systems which is what I have.   My current boiler heater is over 37 years old and needs to be replaced.  Looking forward to having Josh come out and replace it in the spring.   Give Josh and JM Plumbing Services a try!  You won't be disappointed!

Woke up and found the hot water heater wasn't working. I called Josh at JM Plumbing and he was here within an hour. Luckily it was a quick fix and he had it back up and running in no time - professional, courteous and responsive service.

Josh is a stand up guy and a great plumber. We had a sewage pipe leak under our cabin and he showed up right away, put a quick patch on the leak, then came back once the sh*t was cleaned up and properly repaired the pipe. BTW, he was replacing and repairing the work another plumber did the year before. His prices were in line with the market, he was polite, clean, professional, and kept us updated. He also referred a service to come sanitize the crawl space. Gotta respect him for even being willing to crawl into a basement filled with standing waste water.

I couldn't help but notice a bunch of people are leaving negative reviews who recently moved to Incline Village, drove up the demand for services, and are now b*tching about guys like Josh being too overwhelmed with work to respond to everyone immediately. He's the top rated local guy for a reason- he does solid work and he's local to Incline. Call a crappy Reno company and see what results you get... if they can make it over 431 in the winter.

You're creating your own problems. If you don't like it here then STFU and move back to the Bay.

Josh, came through when I needed him.  Reasonable price and committed to excellence.  He told me job would get done in a certain day and unfortunately another job went late into the afternoon. He called me around 4 to say he was on his way because initially I told him I had a deadline. Well things opened up so I told him  to go home, the next day was no problem. I was impressed by his commitment to follow through on his original agreement.

Job well done

Thanks Josh.

Josh is a decent plumber but a horrible person. He might be quick to respond  but good luck getting him back to finish it a project he starts. Rude and disrespectful to me as well.

Great service with excellent follow through!!
I have lived at Incline Village for over36 years
And have seen a lot of plumbers come and go
But Josh is a real standout!!

Josh took his lunch break from another job to help me out when a dishwasher hose broke. Under two hours from the time I called to the time it was fixed. Granted, this is probably an outlier situation because he's quite popular around town and in this case the timing was just right, but what it says to me is he's willing to go the extra mile to help people out and get the job done.

He was professional, knowledgable and friendly. Very happy I made the call.

Josh was a super nice guy, quick to get an appointment with even when I called over the holiday weekend, and did great work on a broken shower faucet. Will book for every time going forward!

Josh made time in his schedule to service our hydronic heating system and solved a water hammering issue. He did a complete service on the heating system and explained all the system components in plain English. Josh was very conscience of COVID practices and wore all the proper PPE, our transaction was handled in a non contact manner. His prices were extremely reasonable and he is a pleasure to work with.

Josh was a lifesaver for me. Returned my calls quickly and came out to see me at last minute and saved me $2000 for my water heater. I would definitely recommend him for any services needed. He's very helpful. Thanks again Josh!

Our boiler heater stopped working and the house temp dropped to 38 degrees. Even though he was very busy, Josh came over on a Saturday night and fixed it. He also brought us some space heaters and came the next day to do annual maintenance. Josh was professional, reliable and got the job done! We'll be using him for all our future plumbing needs.

We had our furnace go out in the middle of the winter.  The home was freezing!

Josh responded in a timely and professional manner.  He arrived; diagnosed the problem and attended to it.  He needed to return to his shop two times to get the correct parts.  We very much appreciated his professional work and his timeliness in responding to our phone call.  The following morning he called us to ensure all was working correctly.  

I highly recommend JM Plumbing Services for professional, quality work.

Thank you Josh. I highly recommend JM. He quickly fixed my nonfunctioning garbage disposal and checked my water heater. Other non local plumber was adamant I needed to pay for a new disposal - Josh assessed and fixed in less than 20 minutes. Good communication. On time and well mannered. He is Local in north Lake Tahoe.
Thank you.
