I called MKP on a Saturday morning and left a message. Within a few minutes I got a call back. I told them my hot water heater had failed. Edgar, my technician, said he could be at my house with the new unit in less than 2 hours. True to his word, he was there promptly and within 2 hours we had a brand new unit up and fully operational. This unit is so much better than the previous one I had. Edgar was both friendly and professional as well as very thorough in what he did and how the new unit worked. Great service as always and just really good technicians. I highly recommend this company for all your future plumbing needs. read more

5 stars for the technician-- who was friendly and knowledgeable. 1 star for charging us $80 to come and look at our garbage disposal for five minutes, just to tell us that they can't fix it. We were also told that we are lucky that they didn't charge us double that. read more

On a Friday they worked me in for a new hot water heater. Hooked up better than the original. The price was extremely reasonable. Thanks for the great service. read more

Very professional guys that arrive when they say they're going to arrive and get the job done every time with a detailed description of what was needed and what was not needed. These are my go to plumbing guys. read more

Mike Kimble plumbing exceeded my expectations of plumbing companies. They were responsive, had someone out at my place the next day, and were able to get the job done quickly while having all the supplies on-hand. And their rate is not bad compared to another company I used previously who charge more hourly and took a longer time to complete the service. Money well spent with Mike Kimble Plumbing and the service was beautifully completed. read more

They sent a plumber over to clean out my drain in my shower and he did not fix it.. he thought I had a bigger problem. So he left I called another plumber and he fixed it in less than a hour. And they charged me almost 200 dollars I felt like I should have gotten a little bit of a refund but they didn't get back with me. It's all about the money with this company. read more

So my water 6 yo water heater decided to fail on a random Wednesday morning. After processing what this means to my finances this month I started calling plumbers. Not a fun task as a single woman- pink tax . The first was super responsive and sent someone out within an hour. I have a power vent water heater which is pricy. I know. I've already bought one (my third water heater in 17 years here). The quote mind boggling $6970.... I won't name the outfit but that is OUTRAGEOUS. Then he started negotiating the price with me. Yep that's when he lost me. You come back $1400 lighter ???you tried to bilk me out of an obvious upcharge beyond your normal upcharge. NOPE not this girl. Called another and the phone quote was $3000-$3500. Sign me up. Mike Kimble plumbing is a stand up honest business. They completed my job closer to the lower end of the estimate and Rene was so professional. He helped me know what to do to extend the life of the unit and didn't treat me like an opportunity to pad the bottom line. Plus the hot shower I had today was the best!! read more

Ok So my water heater was leaking & I was due to work out of town. I called my Realtor brother , as I do for any homeowner needs on recommendations for someone. He said " Kimble will get it done!" The woman I spoke to was so nice. I called Wed night. She said " We are booked tomorrow , but I'll try"... I let her know I'd be out of town, but that I could leave a key to garage ( where water heater is) in a lockbox. Well They came Thursday ... I just got home on Saturday. It's all completed, all cleaned up spotless & my water is hot!!! Yayyyy!!!! Super STOKED. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Only three reasons to choose Mike Kimble Plumbing. COURTESY PROFESSIONALISM FAIR PRICING Tracy: dispatch, office manager and I'm sure jack of all trades promised the next available plumber as all were currently busy. Carlos showed up in a reasonable time. He was courteous, clean and professional. He changed kitchen faucets with sprayer in very good time, left the work area clean and tested everything to make sure it worked as it was supposed to. Things are tough right now with Covid but if you need a plumber for any reason call Tracy at Kimble Plumbing. Don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions. Ed Diaz read more

Had several issues in the course of a week, one a flooded kitchen and living room from a defective dishwasher and subsequent issues related to that. Kimble was not only quickly responsive, but very helpful onsite. I very much appreciated the quick response and the extreme competence and attention to detail of the plumbers when they were onsite. read more

They were quick, polite, and very reasonable on the cost, thank you! read more

Great price and attitude. Mike Kimble Plumbing is now our new plumber. Great job!!! Jimmy Cameron read more

The plumber spent time trying to snake a drain this way and that. Admitted he didn't have the proper tools (a snake with a camera). Was unable to clear to the block. Still charged us $400 and said next time we should ask the company to send out someone with the appropriate tool. read more

Plumber came on November 9th, He had specific jobs to do. Fix under sink. @He disconnected water, after replacing angle stop, the dishwasher didn't work after he left, my husband fixed it. Replace front and back hose .The one in the front caused a leak. When we complained Mike Kimble sent the same guy to fix the leak. Not only did he not fix it, he had a bad attitude about fixing the mistake. He made it worse. Now sprinkler bill is $300 and it's not resolved, we have to call another plumber to completely replace the pipe that he broke. Mike Kimble gave us an adjustment, but their plumber broke everything he was supposed to fix. So , thanksgiving is next week and we still have a problem. So we have a bill from Mike Kimble and $300 to sprinkler repair. Mike Kimble caused the problem. We will never use him again. read more

Ryan was very helpful and responsive when I called after hours. Edgar arrived promptly and was very thorough and professional.

Issue #1: No show for a scheduled appointment I took the day off work & waited all day for. Lied about trying to reach me by phone, then didn't bother to return my message when trying to reschedule. So I called a different company who showed up on time and fixed my problem for less than half of what Mike Kimball quoted me. Issue #2: I live in a condo. My water was shut off w/o notice today while I was in the shower. I dressed and went outside w shampoo still in my hair to ask what's going on & an older heavy set man in a Mike Kimball truck says "what do you want me to do? We're working outside & it'll be all day." I asked if he couldn't just knock on the door 1st...I have a house full of kids that still need to shower. He answered w a sarcastic tone saying "I'm not gonna go knocking on doors if you have a problem talk to the manager". Our condo management company likes to use them exclusively. I used to think they had a good rep but unprofessional behavior such as a no show, lying about calling me several times, along with over priced quotes and rude staff is plenty of reason not to call them again. I'm a firm believer that if a person will lie to you about the small things they won't hesitate to lie about the big things as well. Update: the plumbers outside have managed to jackhammer their way through the gas line and now we're w/o water and gas. Plumbers have been lounging idly on their cell phones for the last 2 hours while the gas company tries to resolve the issue with the gas line. I was only made aware of this when the gas company sent me a notification of two service calls made by Mike Kimball plumbing to my address. Again none of the plumbers ever knocked on my door to let me know that my water or gas was being shut down. read more

Pretty sad to have to write this however I had the displeasure of meeting Hector today... it started with them banging on the door to tell us our water would be off till 1pm which is fine in the case of an emergency situation for the neighbor! Then my neighbor across the way called me to inform me one representative was knocking down a wall and another was moving my property so my husband who was leaving with our daughter walks outside with me and tells the representatives that it was rude to move someone's property without informing the property owner and Hector begins shouting at my husband (whose still holding our one year old daughter) that he is rude for calling him rude and that he shouldn't be "coming at him" like that. His co worker begins to tell him to calm down and to drop it however Hector continued shouting at my husband and then tells him to "go F*** himself!" At which point my husband responds and simply walks away. This whole time I am trying to move our property out of the way for them to work without obstacles and I apologize and explain that my husband is simply upset because it is inconsiderate to move someone's things without asking and the Hector begins to shout at me! I am 5'5 and Hector must be at least 6 foot so to have this grown man shouting at me at 930 in the morning while I'm still in my pajamas just after my husband left was pretty scary I have to admit! Thankfully my husband came back because i did NOT feel comfortable at this point! My neighbor across the way even began trying to video tape just in case!!! I became very uncomfortable and walked to my neighbors house that was receiving the service and kindly asked them to have the representative leave. Hector stood by his work truck still shouting things at me and the other rep was telling Hector to not worry about it and that he's "got his back" all while I tried to discuss the situation with my neighbor. My husband thankfully called the company and spoke with Jason and asked him to have the reps leave our property as we did not feel safe with them there. My five year old son even asked why the man was being mean... I honestly can not believe this representative considers themselves a professional nor can I believe that a company has such a representative. read more

I am very happy with Mike Kimble Plumbing and would highly recommend them for all your plumbing needs. read more

I've been using Kimble Plumbing for seven years for a variety of services in order to upgrade my plumbing. They have replaced my water heater, my toilets and installed sinks and fixtures.

Once again Edgar from Mike Kimble Plumbing saves the day. Professionally replacing Leaking shower valves. Totally the Best

Matt at Kimble Plumbing replaced our broken toilet and did a great job. He was knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I'm really happy with the service we received. read more

My wife reached out to this business and scheduled an appointment for a few small items we needed assistance with. Nothing that is complex that an experienced plumber hasn't done thousands of times. Plumber showed up after 9 and their business is 6 min away. He did a couple of items decently but then got to connecting a line to a dishwasher that was successfully installed a few weeks ago. He fumbled with it for 15 min and then said a new line is needed. Uhmmm, no it was just connected successfully 10 min ago. Then he realized he was putting it in backwards. I guess we were sent the smart one. My wife then finds him chatting with another worker in the house at 11:30 and comments that it seems you're done now. He said he was still needing to write up the bill but was in no hurry. Finally he goes out to the truck to write up the bill and comes back at 11:45 and his bill was 8:30 to past noon. What? you're adding time before and after, that's called padding the bill and is incredibly unethical. Owner was called to explain situation and his response is you have to pay travel time at $130/hr rate. Funny how no one else operates that way. Between the inconsiderate attitude, juicing the bill, and the incompetence I would highly recommend you go to someone else. It's amazing when I'm not home how these so-called professionals think they can take advantage of my wife. read more

Beware of the "RELIABLE SERVICE" portion of their website or when they tell you "WE GUARANTEE OUR WORK" claim. One star is an overly generous rating, so please take the two minutes it requires to read this honest review. When we remodeled our house 3 years ago, a different plumbing subcontractor failed to adequately secure the single handle kitchen sink faucet assembly which eventually worked loose from the counter top. Instead of using the same guy again, we called Kimble to come secure it and address additional plumbing issues in a couple bathrooms, FOR WHICH THEY WERE WELL PAID. After about a year and a half (which apparently voids any labor guarantee) it came loose again, so we called Kimble to come back and tighten it down, FOR WHICH THEY WERE PAID, AGAIN. That lasted not even two weeks, before it came loose once again. We called Kimble and they came back to tighten it down yet again, FOR WHICH THEY EXPECTED TO BE PAID YET AGAIN. Needless to say, I did not pay the plumber onsite. Then I received a hilarious phone call demanding payment from the rude, unprofessional and combative Jennifer, who eventually hung up on me when basic logic caused a short circuit in her information processing (picture the Fembots demise at the hands of Austin Powers.) Anyway, as the saying goes, you can't have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent, so the following FACTS were of little use... 1) Guaranteed means you are responsible for your work. Period. 2) The second plumber specifically admitted he simply could not get it tight enough because of the tight space and lack of a long enough wrench, but that time he spent was still included in the paid invoice. 3) The third plumber claimed to be here for 2 hours, for which they wanted to bill us, despite his actual time working on the fixture of 1.5 hours. In case you missed it, that 1.5 hours was re-doing the work of the second plumber. 4) The faucet never had any function issues, only installation issues. Nonetheless, because I asked Moen to send new parts in case the plumber wanted to use them, in Jennifer's mind that meant the entire thing was defective and therefore the issue, rather than her plumbers' repeated failures. The funniest part is that we were going to use these guys to completely re-plumb an outlying studio we are remodeling into a permitted "granny flat", with full bath and kitchen, all to be tied into water and sewer, for which they would have made PLENTY OF MONEY. They chose instead, as my wife said, "to die on their little hill" of horrible customer service. Any rebuttal to these truths will likely derive from their twisted interpretation of the facts detailed here. Remember, there is no such thing as "alternative facts". Moreover, perusing many of the reviews here on YELP, apparently our experience is not unique. Cut your losses now and call Rhino Plumbing instead. read more

Mike Kimble Plumbing is the best! They have been my go-to plumber for my commercial kitchen for years. They most recently helped me in a pinch when my water heater tank blew out. Their technician was on site the same day and assessed the issue. They got me back up and running with a new unit and we didn't miss a beat. Thank you so much for your excellent service! read more

Jason from mike Kimble plumbing was the tech who came out to service a clogged drain. We've used mike Kimble plumbing for 15+ years to service our rental properties. Usually we get great service from this company, not this time. Jason came out, snaked the drain and said the drain was clear. He ended up putting in a pop stopper and off he went. The next day our tenants called to let us know the drains were still clogged. Called mike Kimble to get the tech back out. They ended up sending a different tech then before. This tech solved the issue and we paid the $135 bill. A few weeks later we get a call from Jason (the 1st tech). He asked us why we haven't paid the $235 bill for his service. We told him we were not paying because we already paid for the service bill and what Jason had done on his visit did nothing to solve the issue. He said fine then we won't ever service you ever again. A month later our tenant called mike Kimble to have a different issue to be fixed. Well... they held to their word and said "were not servicing you any more." So after 15+ years of giving mike Kimble our money and dedicated business, they were easy to say goodbye to us as customers. read more

Mike Kimble Plumbing was our go to for plumbing needs. Historically they have been very professional, courteous, and timely. However, during our latest call a few things happened that soured our experience with them. We had no idea they start charging in hourly increments as soon as they dispatch a plumber. In addition, my wife was out when she called their office. Person on the other end mentioned it would take the plumber 45 min to get to our place. He showed up in 15 min and waited till my wife got home in another 15 min. We were initially charged for the full hour. They took off 30 min after we complained. The plumber did not correctly install any of the 2 popup stopper in our sinks. Both of them get stuck if you go up and down with them a few times. In addition, one of them was installed with the lift-rod sticking half-way even with the pop-up plug pushed up. That is just not right. Their hourly charges are on the higher end. Historically, this was justified due to their outstanding efficiency and workmanship. However, this time around they were slow in getting their stuff done and the work was not up to par. We are quite disappointed with this business and will look for a different plumbing company for future plumbing needs. read more

Special Thank you to Mike Kimble Plumbing..your crew was Extremely Professional while installing our new water heater and water line to our refrig this last Friday . We will continue to use your company and Highly Recommend you to anyone looking for Quality Parts and Top Customer Service!! Mike & Julie Durand read more

I normally do not put a lot of review out there, but I have to commend Mike Kimble Plumbing for their awesome job they did at our place on Friday 4/10. We had both our kitchen and bathroom sink completely backed up. We tried everything to try to get it undone to no avail. I called them Friday to be greeted with a cheerful and very helpful voice, told that they had some appointments before but would be out as soon as possible. Called up a little bit later and said she had a guy clear and heading out to us. They arrived and checked out what we had going on and went to work on our problem. Fixed it quick and got us set. Thank you for everything, and for having the best staff! It's hard sometimes and especially with what's going on right now to be efficient, courteous, and timely. You will be my first call for anything we need along with any of my friends and family! Thank you again! Steve read more

Used Mike Kimble Plumbing on a couple different occasions. Edgar was very thorough and efficient. Took the time to explain everything and had great follow up. Thanks Edgar and thanks Mike Kimble and staff !!! read more

Mike is honest, hard working, reliable, but most importantly he fixed the leaks in my house-shower, laundry, and the main emergency shut off knob. I highly recommend him. read more

Used several times and he has never let us down. Turn around time is quick and he makes it the same day. What I liked most is that he quotes right away and doesn't B.S you with terminology like most plumbers do to make their job seem more expensive or important than it is. Will definitely use him as my permanent plumber. read more

Unbelievable! I had an appointment to get my water heater replaced today. They gave my husband a price of $1,200 to $1,400 for a 40 gallon size tank replacement. I called them and asked how much the actual water heater is and to break down the price. They told me $595 for the water heater and the other money is for other parts and the two guys to do the work. I told them that its drained and ready to get replaced and asked if there is a price break (maybe at $115/hour they could cut an hour off the labor since we did the labor). At the end of the conversation, Mike cancelled my appointment and will not be coming to fix my problem. I have used this company for the past 15 years and have had my water heater replaced twice by them. I cannot believe, even after pleading with the guy, that he cancelled on me. Apparently they don't like to be questioned about their price. Makes them seem shady to me. I no longer trust this company and would not let them in my house to do any repairs again. I will also let my family know so they can use a different plumber as well. Thank God they told me they will not come out to replace my water heater. I have three other quotes from local plumbers - each quote is at $900!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are ripping people off at this company! I am glad I was forced to shop around. I will post how the new plumber is once they are done and list their name so y'all have a better option than this crappy company. It pays to shop around. Same work different plumber. Only $985 total! Thanks Mike Kimble for refusing to come to my house. You have plenty of other customers to rip off! Sorry I ever gave you guys business!!! read more

Our water heater has apparently died. Had a plumber here for 5 minutes who said he could not fix it, offered to replace for $1700. Best of all, jerk left us a bill for $110 for 5 minutes of "work ." What a rip off ! read more

Had my water heater stop working over the weekend and wasn't sure what was wrong with it. With it being a newer water heater, I called a Mike Kimble's plumbers and they told me it was most likely the thermocouple that had gone and they could come service it first thing Sunday morning at 8 AM. I was shocked they were able to accommodate me so quickly. Edgar showed up right on time and came out and took a look and wasn't able to get the pilot to light. Upon his inspection, he saw a little water in the holding pan and told me the water heater was shot. Knowing we were renters and I wasn't authorized to replace the entire heater, he advised me to get in touch with the property owner and inform him of the situation. Feeling bad for us, he told me the least he could do is not charge us. It's this level of personalized service and humanity that will make Mike Kimble plumbers stand out in my mind and I will Be actively referring them to friends and family. Thanks for having Edgar on your team, he truly stood out in our time of need. read more
