"Can not imagine a better response, starting with my call for assistance, response time and how the technician, Tad methodically diagnosed the problem. We have an obscure kitchen fixture that required service in Feb 2019. Under warranty the problem was easily diagnosed by me, a problem possibly caused by me and a replacement part sent and installed by Albert Nahman team. Problem: I broke the faucet cartridge. Current Problem: restricted hot water flow in this kitchen sink only. Turns out the new cartridge part is now malfunctioning. I called and Tad arrived taking a step by step approach ruling out possible causes: a clog here or there, build up of sediment, or blockage in the lines or cartridge. The company that sells the product got on the phone with Tad and they collaborated on the problem and the tech person gave Tad one more thing to try. After the collaboration it is agreed, problem persisted and therefore that new cartridge part is now malfunctioning and will be shipped free of charge in two days. Thanks to all, who made this possible and I trust we will have Tad here again soon to finalize this fix. BTW, cost of service was less than expected given going rates for such a call lasting in excess of one hour. Another comment, spending time with Tad during the repair was a pleasure to have him explain, collaborate, listen and just chat. Questions on who to call next time, no question who I will call next time. I have read criticism of costs: In the Berkeley area "How much does it cost to hire a plumber? Some plumbers have a minimum fee for a service call. They might charge anywhere from $175-250 to come out and give you a consultation. Plumbers may give you a general service rate of $128-148 per hour when there are a lot of unknowns about a project and they aren't sure how long it will take. Some charge a flat rate for their plumbing services. For example, you may get charged $175 for a sink or drain cleaning, while toilet installation costs $500." Today costs are upfront, same as charges in Feb, $69 to arrive and assess the problem. Here in excess of one hour for $129 minus $25 coupon, total charge $173. I am ok and I expected these costs. If I was in Philly, where I grew up, I could call an uncle or cousin and get a better rate, a family rate. This is going rate for our area."

"I highly recommend Groundworks for foundation concerns. They were very prompt with returning my call and providing a free inspection. I had concerns for my 103 year old home, especially a section of the foundation. Their Inspector, Bob Bloom, arrived on time, was professional and experienced, took time to answer all my questions (thank you for not rushing), and provided me with useful feedback on my foundation and options for repair. Bob gave an honest assessment with no sales pressure. Although I decided to defer foundation work at this time, I will definitely use them in the future."

"Elsy ( I believe she was the plumber from your company via Angi) arrived as scheduled, on Saturday, 09/28/2024. She attempted to repair my garbage disposal unit but was unable to do so as the unit's wiring was worn out. I advised the unit is 40 yrs old. She recommended to purchase a new one. We made a trip together to the local Home Depot store and I purchased the same brand s she recommended. She installed it in record time (within the 2.5 hrs) and completed the job. She also cleaned the work space and carried the old one to my recycling bin. Very satisfied with her work. Also, I want to know if I will receive a billing statement for my records? Thank you for your time & assistance."

"AceStar Plumbing arrived on a Saturday morning, earlier than the agreed time. Even though my water heater is difficult to reach, and even more difficult to carry a bulky, heavy water heater down the outside of my house to install, they got in quickly, and before I knew it my new water heater was installed and I had hot water again. Really nice, thorough, and efficient plumbers. I had another little plumbing job, replacing a kitchen faucet, and Johnny Thoummavang returned the next day, a Sunday, and installed my new faucet quickly and efficiently. AceStar was in the higher price range for installing a water heater, but they came promptly, and they came on a weekend. YOU CAN'T ASK FOR BETTER SERVICE! My only two suggestions for customers are one, be home early to wait for the plumbers to arrive, and two, make sure their ability to accept a credit card is working that day so you can charge it. This happened to my husband & me, and luckily it was not a problem for me to write them a check. However, when my husband and I were younger, with small children and only one income, I wouldn't have had that much extra money in my checking account to pay for this emergency. So, if you rely on credit to pay for emergencies, check if AceStar can take your credit card, before they come that day and definitely before they start the job. THEY'RE GREAT, and they're the only plumbing company I've ever put in my Evernotes and my phone contacts to call again should I need a plumber!"

"I called Dependable Rooter & Plumbing in an emergency as my sewer line had backed up and was overflowing onto the driveway. Andrew arrived within just a few hours of me calling, which was great. Between the time I called and the time he arrived, they kept me updated on status and arrival time. They were great at setting expectations. He introduced himself and explained the pricing structure and potential work. I agreed, and he quickly went to work checking the system. His findings revealed root intrusion into the riser that affected draining. He performed a hydrojet service and main line machine service to clear the roots and line. In addition, he performed a video exam of the line to ensure all was clear. His work was very professional, thorough and left the site extremely clean after he was done. There was no upsales talk or BS. He was straightforward and honest and I appreciated that. He gave me my options for repairs, pros and cons and recommendations, but never tried to hard sell me anything. Dependable is now my go-to plumbing service and I already have recommended them to several other homeowners."
