We had accumulated a lot of plumbing jobs & called Fred Hill to help us. They were up to the challenge & worked their way down the list, leaving behind happy customers. Thank you Fred Hill. I recommend you to my friends.

I started calling plumbing services off Angie's List the day after Christmas (Monday) because we didn't get the keys until 3pm on the Friday before. We had new appliances we couldn't use until we had gas for the dryer and the water line valve replaced for the fridge. After spending a week in a hotel because of a botched close on our front end, we were really desperate to get some basic life activities going. I have to love how hard the dispatcher (Mr. Hill?) worked to try to make it happen. Ultimately he got a plumber out that afternoon to evaluate the job, with a promise to have him out first thing the next day. Carlos Rodrigues was enthusiastic, full of options, and very knowledgeable... all qualities I love in a plumber. We discussed various options and although he didn't do the crawl under the house that afternoon, he did the next day and made a number of suggestions based on what he saw. He was there for about four hours, had a second plumber over to assist for a few hours and the job ran just under $800. Not terrible for the work involved, and I feel confident it will serve this house for years to come. Since I'm not familiar with service providers in this area, I can't judge local pricing. However, even if these guys are not the cheapest, but I'll take thorough, cheerful, careful, and qualified over cheap every day. Nice work guys!

I would NOT not recommend getting a quote or even doing business with Fred Hill Mechanical in Modesto! WOW! A nightmare just trying to get a quote

Scenario - I am looking to replace my AC package unit on my roof. I want to get some bids.

Call Fred Hill - Vince is who I speak to. Tells me they are 2 weeks out on coming to just give me an estimate. I tell him ok no problem. He then tells me ""I can squeeze you in tomorrow to have someone come and ""assess your situation"" for $79. Whatever they do to service the AC will be an extra charge"" (this was earlier this week)

After I tell this dude I just want to get the estimate (he didn't seem happy). He tells me he will call me on Wednesday with a date his estimator could come out.
Before we hang up he asks ""And you said you already have other estimates?"" (Hmmmm )

I just now get the call. Guy tells me July 6th is soonest to get an estimate and work couldn't be started till July 26th. I tell him I still want the estimate. I ask him if he could do a pre call the day before to remind me because I do travel a lot and need someone here.

His reply: ""We do a pre call the morning of when we are on our way. You need to write down a reminder (with an attitude) because we don't call the day before""

Me: ""Just cancel it - I don't want to do business with you guys"" (hang up)

If it's THIS much if a pain in the ass to get an estimate, I don't want to know what it's like for those that use these guys.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME CALLING THESE GUYS!!!

This is the best plumbing company ever! They are so honest and work quickly and efficiently! I want to give praise to Greg who helped us get our shower working after another plumbing company messed it up! He only charged us 1/5 of what the other company did and did it in half the time! Thank you Hill plumbing for your exceptional service! And thank you Greg for being so professional and kind!!!

We are as pleased with the service that anyone could possibly be. We moved into our home three years ago, and noticed that the original heating and air had been installed and maintained by Fred Hill...and they were new to us but we decided that the ones who installed would be the ones to service, and we have had amazing service for the three years we have been here. Not only did they persevere in finding a elusive problem, THEY were not satisfied until the issue was COMPLETELY resolved, no matter what it took. We signed up for the maintenance agreement, and are so happy with the filter maintenance and problem checking done during that time. We have always had the finest service men, but Greg is super diligent and never leaves a mess, and is congenial as well. We are so happy to have an honest and reliable plumbing, heating & air business to call.

They came out and fixed our office's plumbing issue, even though all of their employees were busy that day they still made it out. They were recommended by a friend and its one I was happy with. These guys were great and any future problems they will definitely be called, my boss was very impressed and I was instructed to save all contact information for the future!

Talk about great customer service--Fred Hill has it. From the reception desk to scheduling to the helpful and professional technicians, they do it all well. Vince makes every effort to accommodate busy schedules and Carlos does all in his power to make sure our HVAC is running smoothly. Fred Hill has also helped us with our plumbing, from troubleshooting to minor to major plumbing repairs. Not a big yelper but Fred Hill deserves a shout out.
