We got bids on a "pex" replacement and when we told them theirs was too high the bid was magically lowered. We were the fools who took the lowest bid. What we thought was a "repiping" of our house turned out to be a "partial repiping." So the drip was fixed but a lot of old galvanized piping remains. And here's the bad news: the new pex piping was inadequately attached to the floor joists under the house and the installer removed many sections of furnace ducting to work down there and run the new piping. So we found that one of our heater registers had no heat/no attachment to the furnace duct! Hot air blowing into the crawl space.... So we have paid someone to reattach the piping and the ducts. And when the "new piping" was done I subscribed to the annual maintenance agreement. This is a total scam! No work is done under this agreement. It is only an opportunity for Albert Nahman "technicians" to try to up sell various filters and improvement systems. And the "inspector" missed the heating duct problem.... Avoid the big yellow truck! Do not let these guys into your house!

On our first job with Bay Plumbing, Tony's team fixed some incorrectly installed lines for a new toilet and were able to come up with a solution to make our complicated plumbing situation code-compliant.

On our most recent job, we noticed a leak in our basement the day before we left on vacation and Tony came over himself to check it out. Major damage was averted and the repair job was perfect. It's hard to find a good plumber who you really know you can trust, but Tony goes above and beyond. I'd give him and his crew 10 stars if I could!

Wondering about the $800 charge to replace the disposal, I went online to check the Home Depot cost of the disposal (between $200 and $400; probably $200, but I can't be sure as Ivan hustled the packaging out the door ASAP), and realized I'd been grossly and shamelessly overcharged. So I phoned Mauro's Plumbing to come re-check the toilet. Jose and Anthony came out today, checked carefully, and told me there was no problem at all; and they refused to let me pay them a penny for their visit. What a contrast!

He wasn't able to return with the needed parts in time to complete the job on that Friday, so he came out Saturday morning to finish the work. He was able to carefully extract the old (VERY old!) shower valve through a smallish hole, and install the new gear, so we didn't have to re-tile any of the shower enclosure. My only quibble is that he wasn't very transparent about how much of his quote was for parts vs the labor, so it was not easy to consider upgrading from a Delta valve to a different make. Overall, I'll definitely call him again when I need a plumber.

We discovered this issue as we were replacing the caulking to our bath tub. We told him numerous times that we had just removed the caulking. During his "inspection" he started running the water from our shower head but then he proceeded to point the shower head straight on the crevice where there is no longer caulking and say "see this is the issue!" Now there is a ton of water behind our wall in even more places then we had originally. He's a terrible communicator, constantly was interrupting, and couldn't articulate any of his reasons for anything. He was just guessing at what the issues were and hoping we would agree to start opening things up so we'd have to pay him. We were better off not having him show up at all.

We decided to hire ATLAS for the job: the furnace was old, and the original roof ducting did a lousy job distributing the heat throughout the house.

They decided to double up the ducts to provide more air flow, and they also organized the flow inside the ducts: it worked. Frankly, the final cost was reasonable, considering the benefits I am getting from it.

I cannot recommend LemonTree Plumbing enough! From the moment I contacted them for a leaking pipe issue, their professionalism and customer service blew me away. They were quick to respond, scheduled a visit at my convenience, and showed up right on time--rarely do service providers do that these days! The technician was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain the problem in detail, offering me several options for repair, without any pressure to choose the most expensive route. I really appreciated their honesty and the fact that they worked within my budget while still delivering exceptional quality. The job was completed efficiently, and the area was left cleaner than before they arrived! It's clear that LemonTree Plumbing truly cares about their customers. The whole process was stress-free, and I feel confident knowing I have a reliable plumber for future needs. If you need plumbing services, look no further--LemonTree Plumbing is your go-to! read more

I recently had an excellent experience with this plumbing service! They replaced my garbage disposal and provided a solid warranty, which gave me peace of mind. They also cleared my toilet quickly and efficiently. The technician was very polite and had a great attitude throughout the process. I really appreciated how clean and organized they were, even wearing shoe covers inside my house, which shows they care about maintaining a tidy environment. The technician (Chia) took the time to explain the principles behind the repairs and walked me through the steps of what needed to be done and how it would be handled afterward. He made sure to first understand the situation before proceeding with any work, which made me feel confident and informed. Highly recommend this service for their professionalism and attention to detail! read more

Chia from LemonTree Plumbing did an outstanding job replacing our old tank water heater with a modern tankless system. His work was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented.
