Hannegan Plumbing Inc.

caveat emptor (buyer beware)
Kevin has changed!!

I have worked Kevin Hannegan on a handful of items. I like Kevin, he's a nice guy and has treated me well.

However with my last experience, I will not be using Kevin or Hannegan Plumbing, Inc EVER AGAIN!

Contractor License check: https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/onlineservices/CheckLicenseII/checklicense.aspx

SUMMARY:
I hire Kevin from Hannegan Plumbing Inc. License # 718103 to fix a leak.
Kevin subcontracts out to Tino.

TINO'S WORK:
- Does a terrible job.
- Picks up the wrong part and must return the next day.
- Brings a friend and bills his friends time at $150 per hour! The job only required one person.
- Tino invoices me for $2,500 or 3 hours of work!! (parts cost $450)
- Tino is not a licensed plumber.

KEVIN'S RESPONSE:
- Tino is not required to have a license because he is working under Kevin's license. REALLY! OK. Why did Tino invoice me directly?
- Kevin listens to my complaint about the work and overcharge.
- He reduces invoice to $1,550 by removing or reducing the following:
$500 to remove 80 (eighty) square feet of carpet.
$150 for moving clothes from closet to the bed.
He still charges me for 2 people at $150 per person or $300 per hour.
$500 fan rental for 2 days. Kevin never charged this in the past.
- Kevin invoices me from Kevin Hannegan Plumbing located in Montana.
- Kevin Hannegan Plumbing: License is ""inactive"" per state of CA website

I just mailed check payable to Kevin Hannegan Plumbing in Montana

Kevin works for his Dad who owns Hannegan Plumbing Inc, located in Dana Point. In the past, Kevin has always invoice me from Hannegan Plumbing Inc, but not this time. He invoiced me from Kevin Hannegan Plumbing. This is why I am holding the owner of Hannegan Plumbing Inc responsible for Kevin's actions.

I think it's time for a father and son chat.

The best! Family run, sweet people and fast service, they have always been there when we needed them. Fair prices and all their techs are very knowledgeable. We have had some tough projects (one example: our original water heater is In Our attic) and they totally came through where others wouldn't.
Highly recommended!

I wish I had gone with Repioe 1! We contracted with Dan Hannegan for a full repipe of our 3600 square foot home. We selected Pex for the repipe. To get our business for the repipe Dan promised to replace all of our valves and irrigation shut off which was not functioning correctly. He also promised to install new toilets for no additional charge and he said that he would install all of our sinks and washer because he didn't want another plumber to mess up his work.. He quoted the repipe at $6500 and a new hot water heater at $1000 ($1500, but a discount because he was doing the repipe). Dan did not oversee any of the work and his crew did not pay attention to the details. We had to have he and his team back 3-4 times to make things right. In the end Dan charged us $8,800 and tried to justify the additional charges with a bunch of trumped up stuff that was supposed to be included, such as valves. He never repaired the irrigation shut-off valve and when we moved back into our house after 4 months of remodeling, Dan told us he was going to charge us for the toilet installation. He said he never told us he would install the toilets for free. Once they installed the toilets they forgot to caulk around the toilets. They had to come back twice after the toilet installation and they left the old toilets on my front patio and I had to lay someone to hall them off. His workers also connected the water lines to our sinks and dishwasher. Today, I ran my dishwasher and water poured out through my brand new cabinets onto my brand new floor. Dan sent out his son (Kevin) to repair the problem. Kevin said he fixed the lines and I tested them by running the dishwasher (also new) and water poured out again. Kevin said I should contact Jennair (the manufacturer of the appliance). I looked under the sink and the water was coming from the newly installed lines for the overflow from the dishwasher and the other lines that Dan's guys attached to the new cabinet walls to clean up the lines. Also, one of the toilets they installed was not centered on the wall. In order to correct this they would have to move the water line and valve that they just installed as part of my whole house repipe. Dan told me he would have to charge another $300+ for that. When I questioned him about it and the line under the sink he got defensive, yelled at me and told me that he wasn't doing any more work for me and told me how all of the problems I was having with the plumbing were not his fault. He talks in circles to try to make his lies seem like truths. Dan Hannegan is unethical and an abusive person. His poor work has cost me time, money and now my brand new kitchen is damaged and unusable. What a nighmare! Update: After I threatened to take Dan to court his son, Kevin came back out and corrected the water leak under my sink. He admitted it was the overflow line from the dishwasher to the sink that wasn't tightened enough. There are still numerous issues with their work. Still a nightmare!

I've had so many problems over the years with plumbers performing shoddy work, overcharging, and leaving a huge mess behind. My neighbor recommended Hannegan Plumbing a few months ago when we had a drainage issue come up. Dan and his crew have helped me out twice now - most recently with a full-house backup which required some pipe replacement and repositioning. These guys really know what they're doing - their work is excellent, they're reliable and friendly, and their pricing is very reasonable. Nobody likes to have to call a plumber, but with these guys you know you're in good hands.

I just wanted to share my incredible experience with plumber Kevin Hannegan!
I've had problems with roots going to my toilet
I found his # on Nextdoor, and when I made a few inquiries, his response and quote seemed the most reasonable.
When he came, he started pulling out roots with the auger, and wanted to come cack the next morning and pull up the toilet to get get to ""the root"" of the problem.
He felt the roots were nearing the cement connection from the toilet, and he was so right, he pulled out 3 chunks that were 6"" x 3"", huge, that were just beneath the toilet.
Previous plumbers suggested a new toilet, going to the mainline, and other suggestions that were going to cost big bucks!
If your looking for someone to diagnose a problem who is local, reasonable, professional and pleasant to deal with, look no further!

I need a plumber once again and I remembered Dan from Hannegan Plumbing. So here is my much delayed review. I think we have used his services twice. First my husband redid our main line and we asked Dan to do the final soldering on the pipe. Next our pilot light was out on our water heater. He said that half the time it is a easy fix and the other half he needs to come back to do further work. The first job of soldering the main line was reasonably price and he did a great job! When re-lighting the water heater he did not charge us and he did not have to come back! Next up is a slow drain....Happy to have Dan in the neighborhood!

Dependable, reasonable, hard-working, and friendly! What more can you ask for in a plumber! Highly recommend and used on several jobs.

Hannegan Plumbing does awesome repiping and plumbing. Because we needed more than one pipe leak fixed after several leaks over the years, including a slab leak and reroute done by another company, we knew it was time for a repipe job. The crew, Chris, Mike, and Angel, did great work on the repipe part of the job . It is Kevin Hannegan, however, who is ESPECIALLY to be commended for not only being thorough - we applaud him for his awesome customer care, communication, integrity, trust, plumbing leak resolution skills, follow-through on open issues, and excellent workmanship. Nancy is responsive and caring. Dan Hannegan has put together a great team - and we're grateful Kevin is at the helm.

We won't need to get plumbing referrals in the future as we now know who to call: Hannegan!

Hannegan plumbing is the best. I had a terrible emergency and Kevin came out immediately and resolved the problem. Very dependable, knowledgable, honest and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Hannegan for all your plumbing needs!
