Boudreau Plumbing & Heating

Jon W.

I called these guys based on the yelp reviews, about a year ago to fix a leaky shower. They did the job quickly, and solved the problem for about 10 months. Then the leak started up again. I had a different plumber come by, and he showed me where Boudreau may have cut corners, by using washers that didn't perfectly fit.

That said, they were responsive, prompt and helpful. So I opted to try them again. I recently had them out for minor repairs on our heating, and to fix a gas dryer. They did good work there.

Overall I think these guys are good, and I'm hoping their recent work doesn't fall apart in less than a year.

Called them on 12/29/2008 11am based on yelp reviews to fix two ornery toilets and one under-sink u-pipe that developed a hole. Intended to schedule them for later in the week, but they had someone available in 1/2 hour or the next day.

The plumber arrived when promised, had all the parts he needed in his truck, and didn't make any problems worse or create new ones. Oh yeah, he fixed all three issues and didn't make a big mess.

Minus one star because it took some time to fix one of the toilets, and in home plumbing fix-it visits, time is money.

I have nothing but great things to say about Boudreau plumbing. We have used them several times over the past 2 years in 2 different houses. They have fixed a HUGE disposal leak under our home, replaced our toilet, fixed out mainline and fished a toothbrush my 3 year old flushed down the toilet. They always come when they say they will and have been very fair about their fees. Paul, the owner actually came out himself on the day before Thanksgiving and worked on an emergency problem in our sink for us before we had a party for 70 people!

I have called their office several times and their receptionist has always been very smart and has answered my questions about whether or not I could even fix the problem. If she was not sure, she would have a plumber call me back immediately. I truly feel that they are totally honest and I highly recommend them to all of my friends.

I work as a family assistant in San Carlos. The garbage disposal sprung a leak resulting in 2 totally blocked up sinks and the need to replace the unit. After getting two astronomical on-site estimates from larger, well-known firms...at a cost...I got Paul Boudreau's name from a neighbor. Got estimate over phone, with two options, based on the disposal model I chose. They came in waaaay under the other estimates, were there promptly the next morning, fixed the mess, installed disposal and a portion of pipe that needed to be changed out, and were done in an hour. I couldn't have asked for more courteous, trustworthy technicians. My highest recommendation!

I used these guys because their sticker happens to be on my heating unit, which unfortunately lost the pilot light and I had no idea how to fix it (apparently they're named ""Boudreau Plumbing and Heating"")

The guy arrived pretty promptly and seemed a bit shy, but quickly got to work on my furnace. He also let me watch, which was nice, so I could learn how to do it again.

I really wish I just waited for PG&E's free service though; to spend 10 minutes at my house to relight the pilot light cost me $135, the minimum hourly rate. Ouch! They're great guys in a pinch, but really don't think I'll call again unless it's an emergency.

minus 1 star for not having the equipment needed so having to call other truck for the stuff... and thus taking longer than necessary?

I thought we had a pretty straightforward job. big back up!. I told them two toilets backed up and probably roots in pipe that need to be chewed up/snaked.

I called them instead of roto-rooter b/c of the reviews here, but I wonder if roto-would have had the equipment needed with them (they seem to have that on every truck) and thus done the job faster

they charged me for 4 hours on a sat at $375/hr = $1500. don't know if roto would have charged me the same but done it faster. They took all day 10am-6pm?

But they were really nice people. just wonder if they had used the ""big guns"" to start with and had it on their truck, would it have been faster. probably the same price as roto overall? but perhaps pipes not their speciality or our job was really big and unusual.

I called Boudreau plumbing because I read the reviews here. I was not disappointed. They were prompt, but did not have part to fix water heater. Came back the next morning and fixed it quickly. Prices reasonable too.

I initially called Boudreau because of the yelp reviews. Chris, the Project Mgr. for the company was very personable and wanted to make sure the job was done right at a fair price. I was fortunate enough to get Paul, the owner to do the work on a leaking pipe that ran from the meter to the main. He was very professional and helped me to understand the layout of the piping on my property and what could be done to resolve the issue. Also, their prices were lower than the other two local companies that provided an estimate. I was very pleased with the service and reliability of Boudreau.

I was connected with Boudreau Plumbing through a State Farm adjuster, to repair the mess made by another company that nearly destroyed much of our pipes while snaking them. By the way, my advice to anyone is that you DO NOT hire an unlicensed plumber to snake your lines - there are many amateurs out there that WILL destroy your plumbing. Anyhow, Chris, the project manager on the job, was amazingly courteous and completely focussed on getting the job done. They understood the plumbing layout in my house, fixed the blockage the other plumber couldn't, and helped me file a claim with State Farm. I'd rate these guys 10 stars!

I've used these guys for 4+ years for plumbing, gas and heating/AC work. They are prompt, trustworthy and pleasant to deal with. While you may find less expensive shops (i'm not sure) i think you can count Boudreau as a reliable service provider which can be so hard to find these days.
