Recently moved into a house that is a bit outdated and undermaintained. Asked Bert to come out to assess the state of our plumbing given that our shower and kitchen drains kept backing up. He pleasantly endured my barrage of questions and helped me understand the plumbing system in the house. We scoped all 3 of the cleanouts and found loads of the usual grease, soap scum, hair, etc., which Bert was able to take care of (ream shower and hydrojet kitchen). He also noted a few other small issues with the water heater and took care of those as well. The work was clean, the punctuality was appreciated, and the price was reasonable. Will be calling again in the future, thanks Bert! read more

SERVICE. I contacted First Option Plumbing to obtain an estimate for non-urgent plumbing work in my home. The telephone was answered by a "live" office employee who scheduled an appointment with one of their plumbers whose name was Nick. I also spoke with Bert who is the owner of First Option Plumbing. QUALITY. Nick the Plumber and his apprentice Matthew arrived at my home on time for the appointment. They were professional, friendly, clean and courteous, and both of them wore First Option Plumbing uniform shirts. After placing protective slip covers on their shoes and listening to my request for plumbing services, Nick performed an inspection of the plumbing work and provided me with an estimate for each service. I thought the estimate was fair and reasonable - so I approved some of the plumbing services that Nick and Matthew said they could complete on the same day as the appointment. Those services included installation of a new lavatory faucet, drainage of a hot water heater and inspecting some other residential plumbing fixtures, lines and pipes for general maintenance issues. After obtaining my approval, Nick and Matthew went to work and completed all of the plumbing work in an efficient and timely manner. When they were done with the work, they cleaned-up and didn't leave any grime or watery messes behind. VALUE. I thought First Option Plumbing provided positive customer service and their prices were reasonable and competitive. I was very satisfied with their services. Thank you! read more

I have called first option a number of times! We always get professional service and let's all care. The prices are fair and they're honest.

First Option, has always been there for me. I've used them about 3 times and they never let me down. Their prices are reasonable, they are honest and they never have surprise prices. Meaning if they quote you and the job becomes difficult, the price stays what they quoted you. I called with a project and thought it would be for next week. Nope, they found time for me within 3 hours and I'm super happy with their work. I will be using them from now on. read more

I called several plumbers and they were quick to respond and come to my house. The service was on time and fixed our issue. Will be using them again. read more

Great company. I had a difficult emergency during a remodel and they came in the next day and did a very professional job. Highly recommended. read more

Bert and his team are amazing and I would highly recommend! We had a nightmare plumbing situation at the house and Bert was there every step of the way. He helped us to redo essentially our entire sewage line from inside the home all the way out to the city. Bert is very personable and responsive with great communication. You can tell he cares about his work and all of the clients that he works with. Thank you Bert! read more

EXCELLENT service! Called once with a problem. Instead of sending someone out, the owner helped me undersand the problem and suggested a solution. He even called me back to make sure that I fixed the problem by myself. Zero dollars! Then, last week we had a bigger problem and Jesus came out and spent a few hours fixing things. Super considerate in how he treated our home, clear communication, and all for a fair price. read more

Dishonest place of business. Had a problem with my maytag washing machine. Machine was not draining+beeping continuously. Someone from this company came and I specifically told him I want the vent cleaned. He said that he can fix the problem. What he did he worked on something totally different, did not clean the vent, and charged me $325 left the machine beeping as it was originally doing. He said that was not his job and I should call a maytag specialist which he did not disclose before he worked on it. He did not replace no valves and did not even clean tbe vent, took the $325 and left.Scammers and untrustworthy company. Will never use them or recommend them. Machine is still beeping. read more

What can I say: honest, fair pricing, excellent work, problem solving, mire honesty, transparency. You will love Burt and will never call anyone else again.

They were able to come out the very next day to give me an estimate for some work at our commercial building. They stated the same things that another plumber said we needed... but almost $4k less.

Bert and his team have provided plumbing services for an older triplex we own for several years now. They are always very responsive, prompt and professional. A few weeks ago, I got a call from a tenant at 6:15 a.m. about water backing up in the tub and toilet, and it affected a second unit. I reached out to Bert at 6:45 a.m., he had someone there at 8:30 a.m. and resolved the problem in a timely manner. Last night at 11:00 p.m. I got a call about a similar problem with another unit. I called and left him a message, he responded at 6:30 a.m. this morning saying he was on his way to resolve it. The tenant texted me at 8:05 a.m. to say the job was complete! He also met my husband, used cameras to assess the condition of the drainpipes including the main line so they could find a longer-term solution to the problem and prevent future issues. We really appreciate his willingness to discuss a job and provide us with options that would not only be effective but affordable. Whatever your plumbing needs are I would highly recommend giving First Option Plumbing a call. read more

Bert and his crew are true professionals and experts in their trade. Had them out to evaluate shut off valves and the pressure regulator on a home I recently purchased which appeared to have original and dated parts. They not only took care of getting everything replaced, but they also cleaned up the appearance and the geometry/layout of things. I know this is a small detail to some, but to others these things are important and looking at crooked pipes and layouts that go in circles is frustrating! Bert made every little tweak I requested and did it without complaint. Could not be happier with both the final product as well and the experience working with them. Highly recommended! read more

Our tankless water heater died after 17 years and after a week of cold showers I contacted several plumbing companies. The first one quoted $89.00 just to come out and give estimate.
