When you have a 45 year old house and things are original, things break down and need to be replaced. Bel Carlos has fixed the shower head, redid our kitchen sink pipes, replaced our waste pipe, and replaced the heating ducts in the past 9 months, not because we wanted to but b/c we had too. Our old heating ducts were so corroded that the metal was crumbling into dust.

Craig was did a lot of the work himself and we really trust him. He is completely honest, explains what needs to be done and more importantly, explains the cost of things!

I have Bel Carlos programmed in my cell phone b/c I know that I can call them and someone will come and fix whatever our problem is asap! I highly recommend Craig and Bel Carlos Plumbing. Call them and they will fix your problem!

Craig has saved our butts on numerous occasions from coming to our rescue on Thanksgiving with a full house of guests and a backed up sink to appearing with us in Small Claims Court when we had to sue our counter-top contractor for screwing up.

He has also helped us out in choosing the right fixtures. He really has an eye for quality and durability.

Bel-Carlos Plumbing offers superior service with very reasonable price.
The owner Craig is very polite and friendly.

He along with assistant Robert came on the same day I called for our clogged bath tub drain. It was a very tough clog but they did not give up until the job was done.

They also repaired our toilet with high water pressure flushing system. We have called a well-known plumbing company in the area earlier and was told that it had to be replaced as they could not repair it.

They are very quick to respond and perform superior jobs.

Thank you, Craig!

After reading the reviews here, I called Bel Carlos and Craig and his assistant Robert did an excellent job. I had a job that Boudreau Plumbing wouldn't/couldn't do (see my review of them), and Bel Carlos really came through. They were prompt, friendly, and did exactly what needed to be done. In addition, their prices were better than what I had been quoted elsewhere.

Thank you, Yelpers, for leading us to Craig! We needed our water heater replaced and we met four different plumbers to get estimates. Craig was the one we liked the best, trusted the most, and hired to do the work.

Craig squeezed us in, which we really appreciated, since our water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced quickly. He did a great job, everything was top-quality parts and cleanly done. They cleaned up before they left, which was also nice.

His bid was reasonably-priced and included the cost of city permits (which he arranged for us, including the inspection).

We would definitely hire Craig again for our future plumbing needs. He has a ton of experience and really knows what he's doing.

Don't know what to think - after reading all these positive reviews, Bel-Carlos never showed up for appointment with me! :-( It went like this yesterday:

12:00 pm - called to make an appointment for 4 pm. Confirmed.
4:15 pm - called to check ""The plumber is on his way""
5:10 pm - called to check again ""Let us find out what happened ...""

That's it, no call back ever again, no explanation, no apologies from Bel-Carlos. This morning called another plumber and the job has just been completed.

Craig, the owner did an excellent job! He came out, immediately sourced the problem with my water heater and then proceeded to show me a safety concern with the gas piping and the lack of ventilation in the ceiling. He replaced the gas pipe and created ventilation without charging!
He also replaced my subpump and let me know how all of the piping and other structural items looked. Essentially he did an informal inspection with no incentive for extra work. The place is in good shape.
Very pleasant, honest, and I am having him back again!

While digging in the front yard, I hit the main water line, which was buried a mere 3 inches or so below ground! It was Saturday 5PM. Great! Of the 5 or so places I called, Bel Carlos was the only one to return the call, and within minutes. Craig came by Sunday morning, and suggested to replace the water line since it was no longer to code and there are no more fittings available for the material that was used. His quote was reasonable, and the next day we had a brand new copper main line, 18 inches below ground (no more damage while digging). I highly recommend Craig and Bel Carlos.

I called them for an emergency at work and the guy they sent was really rude and obnoxious. He totally tried to rip us off! I got the work done for half their price. I guess they take advantage of folks in a bind. Shame on you!

Craig is the only plumber you will ever need to call. He has done work for me over the years and I am always extemely satisfied with his services. He is a great guy on top of it all. He was doing a job for me recently and while he was there a leak happened in the house (he was outside doing something entirely different) he stopped what he was doing, fixed the problem and then did the work he was hired to do! no extra charge. he said he was there anyway... he is one tradesman who is timely, neat, honest... the list goes on. Call him! I cannot say enough good things about this guy. He's been doing this for years and really knows what he is doing. Call him!
