Recommended Customer Reviews

I highly and completely recommend Burkell. If you want someone who really cares about fixing the problem and is highly skilled and qualified, then choose Burkell. They were fast, easy to work with and dedicated to finishing the job. Jeremy was on the scene and determined that my plumbing was over 100 years. Using modern technology, he mastered the fix quickly and under budget too. If there were 6 stars, I'd give them - this job was muddy and awful and they did it beautifully.

I have used Burkell Plumbing for over 25 years--they are simply the best! No one is more knowledgeable, efficient, or professional in my opinion. Their customer service is top-notch and friendly. I love supporting my local businesses, Burkell is one of my favorites!

Always on time. Have everything they need & all the service people are very nice. Thanks for our yearly service on our heating system Burkell Plumbing. We count on you and you never disappoint!

Roman Lewett arrived today to address several of my plumbing issues at my home in Larkspur. He was on time, polite and very knowledgeable about the items that needed repairing. I have used Burkell many times in the past and have never been disappointed, they are truly a quality company. They are lucky to have Roman as part of their team!!!

Burkell is the best! They are my ""go to"" people always! They help me out all the time even when it's a last minute emergency on a Monday morning! They have done all kinds of jobs for me, from plumbing to AC, to radiant heat. They are fast, efficient and very reasonably priced! I can highly recommendable them!

I needed a furnace replaced and a new A/C unit installed. Jake Burkell, Jr. was immediate with a competitive bid (I had another which was higher in price), gave me the exact particulars, answered all questions honestly, met me at the site for placement decisions, gave me a date for installation, had two trucks with three techs for two full days, highly efficient, very polite, cleaned everything up...Very satisfied...Richard Mani

I spoke to Chris, the Service Manager, at Burkell regarding getting a comfort height toilet to replace our older, lower toilet. He explained the differences in types and brands of toilets, with a strong recommendation for Toto. I called back with my selection and a few days later Rachel called and scheduled a 9:00 to 10:00 installation time . Well, right at 9:00 Bill arrived with our new throne. He was pleasant and efficient and it was apparent that he knew his stuff. There was a hiccup when an item from the factory was missing. Turns out he had to go to San Rafael for it. He made great time and had our new Toto installed. The price was as quoted over the phone. Bill was great and if I could request a plumber in the future, it would be him.
Heartily recommend Burkell Plumbing. They are the complete package.

I highly recommend Burkell Plumbing. I have used them consistently for the past several years, and have always been pleased with the service. Over the last 2 years, they have installed a new furnace and a new water heater (the originals have been around for more than 20+ years). Everything was top notch and professional. I am extremely happen with them

Burkell Plumbing always comes promptly -- easy to schedule too. Neat, friendly and thorough -- our choice for our plumbing and heating needs!

We had an emergency (while on our vacation) with the hot water heater in a rental unit. After surviving the 4th of July weekend, Rebecca from Burkell sent Rolf out to survey the issue and the next day we had the new water heater installed. They were very accommodating since our tenant had to meet with them on our behalf. Everyone was great and we are thankful to have them so close to us in Sausalito!
