Unfortunately my experience with Bob Peterson Plumbing was not good. I called him in to fix a toilet that was leaking into the ceiling below. He worked on it for two hours and charged me $279. I had to pay a drywall guy $300 to fix the ceiling that it leaked onto. However, two weeks later the same toilet leaked again and ruined the same ceiling. I asked Bob to come back to make it right. He came back but said that the job was much more complicated and that he didn't want to do it saying, ""I have more important things to do."" I told him that I would be writing an honest review of him to which he replied that he didn't care because he was retiring in 57 days. To his credit, he refunded me the $279 but he refused to pay for the drywall guy. Now I have to get the toilet fixed again and the drywall fixed again. My suggestion: use a different plumber.

everything he installs is cheap and breaks down , breaks everything changes the prices he quotes ,,not up to code ,, a disaster , leaves for 3 hours and charges you , that's why his reviews are so bad

Bob did a great job at replacing a water spigot. I called him in the morning and he let me know he would be by in the evening. He showed up on time and got the job done. He was very professional and communicated every step. Great job! I would recommend him. Thanks Bob!

Hacks. Wouldn't have them attach a garden hose. Took my elderly mother for big bucks to replace a faucet and two washers and a drain hook up. Faucet was Home Depot Glacier Bay quality, gave her a hard time about wanting matching faucet handles on fixtures in the same bathroom, didn't bother to glue one of the drain joints. Have a real plumber now.

Would steer away from this character. Was called to my elderly mother's home when toilet overflowed in February. She was charged over $300 to clear line. Bob conveniently forgot to give her senior citizen discount that he clearly advertises on his overblown self worship Meet Bob the plumber home page. He also forgot to leave her a receipt for work performed. He didn't forget to cash her check quickly. Two weeks later toilet overflowed again. Fortunately this time family friend was visiting, went to big box store purchased auger and cleared the line. Total time 15 minutes and $9.99 for auger. Problem solved. Look elsewhere for plumber.

Mr. Peterson knows his stuff, charges a fair price, and has quick service. He is also a nice guy. We had some pipes freeze this winter. He was overrun with customers (other people with frozen pipes)-nevertheless he made time to meet with us that day, coached us through thawing the pipe, fixed the subsequent leak that had sprung in the pipe, and then made a solid recommendation to prevent the problem again (in addition to just leaving the water on). Didn't charge service fees or anything even though he came by a few times to check up on us. He has done installations for me, repairs, and maintenance. I will go to him for future plumbing work.

The pipes from our sump pump were nearly exploding from water pressure. We decided to call Bob as he is in our neighborhood. Bob stopped by and said we needed to rod the pipes. Bob applied a spear, and said we should by Root X, but we should be fine after his initial work. Next day, same issue. Bob then said we should rod one more time. Bob charged for this work as well, but said this would take care of the issue. Next day, same issue. We called a different plumber, and it was actually the sump pump. We have not had any issues after we hired the second plumber.

Boy, next time I need a laugh, I'll go cruise the one star Yelp reviews.

I had Bob Peterson come by once, ONCE, about 10 years ago. He also walked in with a giant pipe wrench, dirty boots, and all the class and decorum of a caveman. I don't need a plumber to hold his pinky out while sipping his tea, but he made that pipe wrench look more like a weapon. Went to diagnose the problem down at the drain cleanout, and how did he use that pipe wrench to unscrew the threaded cap? Like a weapon, by whacking the cap to the side, like it was a fastball coming right over the plate. I thought, Gee, I see threads on that cleanout cap, and I see a nut on the back of the cap, and I see a wrench in the guy's hairy paw, and call me crazy, but I would have used the wrench part of the wrench on the nut part of the cap, and turned it, to use the threaded parts of the cap as threads. When it came time to close up the job, he put the cap in the general vicinity of the cleanout, and bashed it over the top with his club-wrench. He really could just as well have showed up with a baseball bat. He badmouthed his brother Randy, overcharged me and left, and I breathed a sigh of relief for not having had to fend off Pteradactyls or Velociraptors or something. When I think of the guy, when I see his truck around town, I picture him in that spotted caveman outfit Fred Flintstone wore, with a caveman club in his hand. I don't know if he managed to get married, but maybe someday I'll see him in an alley dragging his wife around by the hair.

A little while later, a neighbor recommended his brother, I think Randy, who had contracts with half the people on the street. He would clean out the sewer lines once a year on a contract basis for about $110, which is a bargain compared to the $350 if you only call when you're backing up. He did that for years, and one time honored his contract by doing a free cleanout 6 weeks after the annual job got clotted up with roots. A few years after that, he disappeared, and I haven't seen him since. Someone who grew up here told me that their family feud is locally famous, and the brothers deny the other's existence, except to bad mouth them. Classy crew.

Don't use this plumber!! We had him come a few months ago and he charged us $150 for five minutes of his time. It was ridiculous.
