Recommended Customer Reviews

They were able to come right away.Their staff was masked and careful and the work done efficiently .Very friendly and competent and extremely reasonably priced.They emailed a receipt the same day.Highly recommend. Complete opposite of last plumber i used.

We were having an ongoing problem with our kitchen drain. I had ""repaired"" it several times but the drain pipe would come apart - usually at the most inopportune times. We decided to call Burkell Plumbing. Jeremy Weaver came by and pointed out that our drain was not to code and that the problem was exasperated by the location of the drain outlet. He cut out the back of the cabinet, replaced the pipes resulting in a lower out-going drain with the bonus of a new clean-out where the old outlet once was. All is tight and works much better than previously - we no longer have water rusting out our garbage disposal as before. So, ""five stars"" to Jeremy and Burkell Plumbing!

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this business for your plumbing needs! I am a very happy customer with hot water! Jake and Roman went above and beyond to help me out...

I first called Burkell for a leaky faucet, and I then had them install a full-house air conditioning system. Both experiences were excellent. Jeremy Weaver quickly fixed my faucet, then asked whether, since he had to charge me for an hour, there was anything else he could help me with. The ac installation was done at the date and time that I was promised and took less time than expected. They will be my go-to plumbing/heating-ac people here in Marin, CA.

I had a very frustrating call with Burkell receptionist, Linda, who clearly did not want my business. She demanded a credit card # from me before even an assessment of diagnosis or SOW discussion, and was indifferent to the fact that I do not provide CC #s without security measures being taken. As an executive in the customer experience and service business world, I am amazed when business providers do not give respect to their paying customers. Linda acted discourteous , indifferent, and disrespectful. Disappointing, as I'd prefer to give my business and WOM recommendations to my local neighbors, but they need to earn it.

I cannot tell you how disappointed I am to write a negative review about a local company. Last August I called Burkel in hopes of having them fix my AC. They said my AC had no repair and I should purchase a new one (of course, through them). We decided to defer the purchase until this year and opted to get one more opinion. Fortunately for us, they were amazing and got our unit to work! I have called and spoken to several people, none of whom can explain why they weren't able to get my AC operational. I have also called the owner and manager and left many messages. What's more important than the lack of customer service is their ability to charge for a service that was not performed and 100% fixable.

These guys are great. Knowledge and very through. Converted our houseboat from 20+ year old tank to hot water on demand system. Works well and much better use of space.

Roman Lewett did an excellent job for us a few days ago. We were having a systemic problem with intermittent groaning and rattling noises from multiple locations: washing machine, refrigerator water dispenser, and multiple sinks and toilets. We initially thought the problem was air in the system, but the problem persisted after we bled the lines. Ultimately, the problem was found to be excess pressure in the system due to a failed pressure reducer. Replacement of the reducer eliminated all of the systems. Roman did excellent and efficient work, is a personable guy, gave us a fair charge for the time and effort incurred and given the successful res

Came home after a long trip. My renter (in a small house on my property) told me the washer was flooded. Before buying a new washer, I called Burkell, which came the next day and diagnosed a faulty wayer pump. Instead of having to buy a new washer, all I needed was a new pump. Saved me hundreds of dollars.

I called and received a next day appointment. Jeremy was on time, fast, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. I love my new kitchen faucet!
