Does he need another positive review? Apparently not, but he's gonna get one anyway. Ok, so I've used them in the past for minor things and no problems with the work. However, when my water heater went out a couple weeks back, I tried to call on the weekend and no answer (I thought it was strange there was no answer on the weekend from a plumbing company), so I called about 3 more times and still did not get an answer. Thus, I had to move on because not having hot water is a pseudo crisis. I called knights plumbing and they took 8 hours to come out, but the lady on the phone was pleasant and did call me to keep me updated. Then the plumber called and said he was in Stockton but couldn't find my street, to which I was like I live in Tracy. Then the call center girl called back and apologized and said she wrote down the wrong zip code. Wow, so this is getting way to long for me to write on my iPad, so imma try to hurry it along. To make a long story short-er. Knights plumbing came out in the dark, guy said he couldn't fix it, it's shot. Then he said he will have to call me in the morning with quotes but they don't make my unit any longer so it will be a rare and expensive find. Then he said I might as well go tankless but they will have to run my gas to the unit and it will be pricey. Then he said it will be $100 (well $99) for coming out. I was heated (prolly could've heated my own water by this point). I had waited 8 hours for this on the weekend???? Paid him, bruh be gone. Call another plumber, 2 actually, the next day. One quoted me a billion dollars over the phone and wouldn't confirm a narrower window to meet, as I'm now at work. The other came out and looked at it, called me at work and said it would be $3k. I was like ok cool lets do it, that was cheaper than the guys quote over the phone, and knights was still trying to locate my system after I told them I'm not going tankless. Then they called me 30 mins later and said they were sorry, that quote was for the wrong unit, it would be double that price!!! So now I'm like what!!! Then knight calls me and is like yeah it's gonna be about $6k cause I had a 75 gallon tank and it was direct vent and it should be power vent. So there is only one direct vent 75 gallon tank they could find and it cost $4000 just to get the tank!!! So then I hang up with them and send a direct vented prayer to God. And He says, "son, it's Monday, try calling Simpsons plumbing again". So I did, and they answered!!! It was Brandon (I think he's the owner). I explained to him the situation over the phone, and he assured me it was no big deal and he could find the unit, and that there may not be a direct vent 75 gal tank but that he could convert it to a power vent no problem. I'm thinking dang, he's going to convert it to a power vent, how much is this going to cost. He met me at the house after work, looked at it and confirmed. He gave me a cheaper option and then the best option which would be to stay with a 75 gal tank and convert, and it would cost $3500. Yes that's a lot of money but when you have 3 quotes and that one is roughly have the other two, and the person is confident they can get it done I was more than happy to role with it. I asked him, if they were closed on the weekends cause I tried him first and nobody answered the phone (and I showed him my missed calls to the number). He assured me they are open 7 days a week and that that was a problem he would address with his call center. THEN, he said imma take off the $100 (I told him $99 I swear) you had to pay to Knights plumbing because we should've answered the phone. I was like WOW that's super decent, cause you just don't get people, let alone service like that anymore!!! So he said it will be $3400 and they would have it done tomorrow before I got home from work. I was at work waiting for a phone call saying there was a problem..... Never came. Got a call at the end saying all finished!!!! I gladly paid them, with a $100 tip. Simply AWESOME!!!! Great service, every time. This is my first ever and prolly last ever review (too long), but Simoson plumbing is on point and they earned it!!!! read more
