Service above all and quality oh and knowledge price was fair support local businesses and km in 25

The place is amazing ! I've had them do a ton of work for me over the years and they're always on time and reasonable with their prices.

Horrible customer service. Find somebody to do your job. If he cannot do. Should return to customer. Try to make money . He do not care. read more

We had Mork install a heat pump and they never configured it correctly, or provided manuals for the equipment. Repeated phone calls over five months have been ignored. read more

They did a wonderful welding job on my old kitchen table legs. It's lasted 6* years. Efficient and reasonably priced.

Walter Mork got our ancient wall furnace up and running again when the competition insisted we needed a full replacement. Yay!! We will definitely be looking at them next time we have furnace issues, and when we are ready for new, they will be on the top of the list. The install required a return visit or I'd give them 5 stars, overall very happy here!! read more

We decided to replace our bathroom countertop with zinc. We bought an antique sink from The Sink Factory and created a wooden base for the sheet metal with holes for the sink and our existing Grohe fixtures. We sent the project out for bid and Walter Mork promised the most for the least. No other fabricator offered zinc sheet metal as thick. And we were delighted with the results. The workmanship was very precise. The counter top is lustrous and very strong. We used two products from Rotometals in San Leandro to enhance and preserve its beauty: Zinc Sheet Cupric Sulfate and EverClear 2 Part Solvent Urethane Resin respectively. We used Cupric Sulfate to tarnish it slightly and the EverClear to prevent additional staining. read more

Walter Mork - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Berkeley, California

See all

Don't go if you're a small fish. They care about big accounts and that's it. I ordered a project, they forgot about it. When I complained they acted like it was my problem. "Do you want it or not" the owner Mork said to me. Will never go again. read more

After waiting 3 times for Berkeley from Walter More to come to my home in Oakland, I gave up. Seems the disconnect between the office and the employee is huge, not sure if he finally did make an attempt but went to the wrong home. This is after 4 weeks. If you need a prefabrication duct work and don't mind waiting months, or longer, this is the place. read more

I hired Walter Mork Heating to install a furnace in my 1920's home. They were quick to respond, had good ideas about positioning and very accommodating to my schedule and circumstances. It was not a straight forward job due to age and condition of the house. They made it all work. Terrific crew of three got the job done very smoothly on schedule. Customer service on phone in taking the order; the in person review of what was needed to be done; a clear and concise bid quickly followed and scheduled and then work of crew was all excellent. A Follow up walk through was done and they initiated some adjustments and explained the system well so that I understood what I needed to do to keep things going. Exceptional work and work ethic. A rare find these days. Just in time for a winter chill. read more

Walter Mork fixed our gas furnace flue in a timely fashion and for a reasonable price. They were professional and great to work with. I have every confidence recommending them to others and have, many times on another platform, but just realized I hadn't reviewed on Yelp. I was reminded to, by someone I recommended them to a few months ago who just reached out to thank me (she's very happy, said they did a fabulous, big job on her 1920's home that had no heat before). These are big expenses and it is reassuring to have reliable businesses, and I love it when businesses I recommend work out for others as well. Thank you Mork! read more

Not happy about this one. To summarize: no written estimate, too busy to send a repair technician so an installer was sent who could not fix the problem even with the new parts in hand, the tech was summoned to complete the job and I was charged for all the time of both men. Oh, and I was promised a selection of new thermostats. The installer produced a used thermostat in the box of another product which he offered to install. I ended up going to Ace hardware for a new thermostat which the real tech installed. Not professional. Not good. And the furnace has failed to go on twice since. Once on Christmas. And, no, it was not because I bought the thermostat. It was because they did not repair the furnace correctly. read more

After returning home after a long weekend away, we found our furnace system was no longer working. We called Walter Mork to obtain an estimate, and they quickly sent someone out the next day. The estimate was reasonable and they were able to clearly explain our options for replacement and the associated costs. Even better, they were able to replace the furnace system by the end of the week. We worked with Berkeley Choate, who was prompt with following up with our questions and scheduling our installation. With a newborn baby, it was a relief to have such fast and helpful service. Thank you! read more

These guys are the real deal. It's a multi generation family owned metal shop. They have done custom sheet metal, stainless steel and welded work for me for years. But the happiest they made me was when they replaced my old furnace with a new zoned heat and air conditioning setup. I am now officially ready for global warming. It's great. And it's such a relief to deal directly with smart, experienced pros who don't have a bunch of brochures and sales pitches. They just focus on your job and figure out how to do it really well. Great staff. Great field techs. read more

I picked up some HVAC duct supplies here. They are well organized and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely return.

May be they can do good or bad work, my best guess: you will never know. First impressions is that they are extremely informal, we spent almost two hours going over the work that needed to be done with Berkeley Choate. He took notes, gave some ideas and committed to deliver an estimate in a week's time. Aparently Berkeley Choate went on vacations, then came back. After repeated calls he finally sent out an email apologizing about the delays and committed to deliver the estimate. Nothing. He stopped answering emails, he stopped answering calls and when we called the office the lady that answers the phone said that they have a lot of complaints about the informality of Mr. Berkeley Choate. The last time we called the Walter Mork office the lady said that the estimate would be delivered at the end of the same day. Nothing happened. Obviously, there is no one accountable in that office. At the end, we wasted our time, don't waste yours. I can only imagine what would be the response of Walter Mork if you had any problems with the work they do. Cheers read more

An East Bay Landmark Business. Great People, Excellent craftsmanship. Good Value. They CARE about what they doing and how they do it. With deep knowledge of the trade and creative solutions at hand. As a contractor, this is where we get our sheet metal fabricated. Highly recommended. read more

I'm an architect doing mostly high end residential work. Whenever possible, I go to Walter Mork for flashings and sheet metal fabrication. Never a problem, prices are reasonable, delivery times good, they know what they are doing. They work best with good drawings and detailing, that's true with anyone in the construction industry. This is an old-school, well-equipped sheet metal shop with craft values that are disappearing far too fast from our world. Nothing fancy except the work. read more

Good god!! This idiot can not drive, we watched him cut off a car and almost caused an accident in front of us and then he cut us off and we almost crashed!!! He clearly needs driving lessons!! read more

Walter Mork - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Berkeley, California

These guys are amazing! I had a very specific order to customize my guitar pedalboard to attach metal sheets for power supplies. Fiona was very helpful - I went over and did some rough sketches and got it built and attached according to specs for a reasonable price. read more

I have used Walter Mork for many jobs. They are extremely professional and I love the women up front who are wonderfully detail oriented and make sure the job is ordered as it should be. read more

Walter Mork was very efficient and timely getting back to me when I called for a quote. The representative was curteous and knowledgeable. He gave me a quote in a timely manner. The price was competitive with the other companies I contacted. The workers arrived on time, were curteous and professional. I would recommend them and have to my family and friends. read more

Walter Mork has worked for us on several projects around our house in Berkeley over the years and they have always come through. Tom is knowledgeable and easy to work with. On one project where his crew had misunderstood part of the task, I called him, we discussed the issue and he was right on it. It is great to be able to work with local businesses. I highly recommend Walter Mork Company. read more

Walter Mork Co. is the best in quality, service, and pricing. I've used their shop in the past for metal fabrication, and recently hired them to replace my unsafe floor furnace with central heating. They are great to work with and I couldn't be happier with my new heating system! read more

Berkeley did an excellent job on the AC install at Temescal Alley Barbershop. The installer was on time, quick, and thorough. The price on the AC unit and installation was reasonable. And it's been working like a charm. Thanks a million! read more

Walter Mork installed our new central heating system using the highest quality materials (just one example: Mork uses aluminum rather than plastic ducting - plastic is not as durable). We got amazing financing terms and a high-quality, well-installed system. Lalo and Dan who installed our system are very hardworking, nice, and are precise and skilled at installation. They were great all around. I can see why this company has been business so long. read more

I have used Walter Mork Company for a few heating jobs. Highly recommended. read more

I love Walter Mork. They have done two significant jobs for us modifying disability equipment and two customer service jobs that brought them only a very few dollars. I love their aesthetic, their craftsmanship, their old world attitude to doing the job correctly or not at all. If it is metal and there is a unique problem that you have, Walter Mork will be your best bet. read more

Five stars vs. two or less? What gives? As an independent contractor for 30+ years, I have experienced a full spectrum of interactions with suppliers and make this observation without hesitation: everyone looks good until there is a problem/misunderstanding and at that point you learn what an individual are made of. That is the essence of my experience with the owner: Dismissive, evasive, feckless and mean in the face of a legitimate complaint. Oh, what was that rumbling in the office just yesterday when he retorted at the drop-of-a-hat, and I quote: "I've just had about enough from you!", it was the sound of his great-grandfather rolling over in his grave. read more

We had a slight carbon monoxide leak on our old floor furnace & PG&E suggested that we install a draft diverter. They shut off the gas valve until we could get it repaired. After 2 weeks of searching for this part,I was sent to "Walter Mork" as I could not buy this part anywhere. They manufactured the part for me. Then our handyman said he could not come to install it as he felt due to the Corona virus, he could not leave his house. Since this was our only heating source (& it was cold and we were using the oven for heat) I called Walter Mork to see if they could install it. Understandably they were making very limited technician calls because of the Pandemic. Berkeley Choate sent his very competent technician Mike Hudley. He was amazing & of course practiced "social distancing" while installing this part. We are eternally grateful to Mike, Berkeley & Fiona for giving us our heat source back. They were all very professional but yet it was apparent that "Customer service" is alive and well and it is their priority! We will recommend this company with 5 stars! read more

We have worked with Walter Mork Company for over eight years and have always been thrilled with their service. Unfortunately, with the recent management change the way the company conducts business changed as well. Many experienced and skilled employees left the company and the leadership has really dropped the ball. No longer are they responsive and professional, we wait for a week to have an appointment scheduled only to have no tech show up. Quotes are inaccurate, invoices that follow are much higher than the quotes. In cases where there is a small problem with a quick fix, we are told that the entire heater needs to be replaced, requiring unnecessary expenditures. Example: they installed a heater in one of our units and they did such a poor job that the place for changing the filter is inaccessible. It took us over two months to have the problem fixed. Even then this all was shrugged off by the manager as no big deal. When we tried to escalate this problem to the owner, we were sent back to the very people who are creating these problems and overcharging us for service. It's really difficult to extricate ourselves from Walter Mork while our heaters are under warranty, so we continue to fall victim to how they operate. There are many other reputable and honest heating companies in the area. Do yourself a favor, avoid Walter Mork and go elsewhere. read more

Walter Mork has a great selection of material and their work is clean. better than a lot of other places that i have found. unfortunately i have pulled my business from them due to the lady up front. regardless if i go in or call in, i always feel that i have done her some wrong by giving them business. i agree with the other comment that "curt" is a complement. it's truly unfortunate because i want to keep my business local but i will find someone else that can serve my needs. read more

I asked Mork Co. to have a metal antique sconce welded in order to have it repaired. Staff told me they would weld it from the back, to preserve its look. The owner decided to lay a weld down across the front of the antique -- when it could have just as easily been been done in the back. He failed to understand how silly that approach was when I expressed to him my complete amazement; and, he just walked away from me, abandoning his reputation. Don't bring any work to Mork Co. that requires an asthetic crafts person's touch. read more

Walter Mork Co. Inc. in Berkeley, Ca. is the best in the heating business as far as I'm concern. Their customer service is second to none. I used them when I had heating problems in my rental as well as my primary residence. Both experiences were great. I called them and they had someone onsite at the time they said they would be there. Both times they diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly and to my satisfaction. The technician was courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and explained everything to me. . Job well done!!! read more

This long time company in Berkeley does a great variety of metal work to include sheet metal work, welding, and, almost anything involving metal of any kind. I just had fabricated a replacement door for my fireplace, a door to empty the ashes out on the outside of the chimney. The old door had rusted/corroded after many years exposed to the elements. Walter Mork did an OUTSTANDING job of making a new frame out of stainless steel, perfect welds, nice and smooth and clean. Also the latches, hinges, etc were fantastic!! Sized perfect and completed when they estimated they would finish the job. The staff up front, (Melissa and Wendy) were so nice and pleasant as well. The finished product turned out to not be only a door/metal frame, but rather a Work of Art!! I have, over the years had them fabricate a variety of metal products to include gutter work for roofs, metal back splash sheets for behind sinks, etc. Their work is always to perfection, on time and of the highest quality. If you ever need any metal work done, you will not be disappointed with this fine organization!! Ralph A. read more

These guys are great! We have used them for 30+ years for our specialty metal fabrication needs. It works best for us to provide them with clear, written sketches and specification for what we are needing fabricated, and the specialty products we are requesting come back beautifully. We, as well as our clients are VERY happy with their work. Sheet metal work, gutter work, ornate wrought iron repair (seriously rusted from age), truck specialty metal parts come back amazingly beautiful and functional. I have even seen their work for UCB with beautiful custom steel lab tables that could easily have looked great in someone's high end kitchen. All sorts of beautiful work going on throughout their work floor area. I cannot speak highly enough of this company. We are truly happy, long time clients. read more

I worked with this Firm over the last 6 months on a large project in Danville, CA. They delivered in timely fashion, and provided the material when they said they would. I recently needed custom metalwork that involved quite a bit of detail on a City project. I called Walter Mork Company again because I had great experience with them prior. Laura in the office was very helpful in the initial contact, and from there, Berk took over and met with me to review scope of work. Berk submitted multiple drawings with a couple of options that was very useful to the decision making process. The Lead Tech who came out to the job worked smart and carefully to insure a good fit of this very large stainless steel component. We as well as the City of SF building inspector are very pleased with the finished product. I would not hesitate to refer Walter Mork Company in the future. read more

Sadly one of my worst business experiences ever. After an unfriendly welcome I ordered a part, they took 5 hours to get back to me with a quote on the phone for a simple sheet metal pan. Order was placed with timeline, part was not ready as promised, just shrugging shoulders at pickup. Put the order on hold due to delay for possibly redesigning my project, then renewed it. Although still 15 mins before closing, the old lady almost refused to take the dimensions again and wanted to get rid of me. At pick-up price was almost 50% more from quote. Owner came out talking rudely. I proposed a solution to meet in the middle, which was refused, and when I said ok I would pay the new price this time, owner said I should go elsewhere, left and would not sell me the ordered part that had already been fabricated. This shop is run by grumpy and unfriendly people except for one friendly young lady at the reception at times. I'll never go here again and cannot recommend, and a 100 year tradition obviously does not include customer care. Feel sorry for those people, must be very miserable. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Walter Mork. We hired them to replace an old furnace in our house. They were honest about pricing, gave solid advice about all the various choices we had to make, stuck the budget and the time frame that they estimated. The furnace works great, and the customer service was excellent. In fact, I found that our contact there (Tom) gave us much more direct and helpful information than some of the competitor businesses which seemed to have cheaper estimates but actually it was for less good products that didn't make sense for our house or our area. read more
