Recommended Customer Reviews

Needed garbage disposal replaced. Our insurance company contacted Honey Bee to come out. They called us and stated they would be here between 1 and 4. Art arrived here at 2, did the repairs in no time. Very satisfied with the service. Would use him again in a heartbeat. Thanks Art..

Water Heater Replacement...... Everything went pretty smooth and we are very appreciative of the Business. We are glad we contracted Honey-Bee. We were given a break down of the cost and details of the different options we had. Happy Customers

We had a Rheem Power Vent 50gal Water Heater and we wanted to stay with the design to avoid Modifications to our house due to the venting. Out of 4 Quotes Husband Honeybee saved us a lot money. He Is Rheem certified and we appreciate the awesome service.

My water heater stopped working, and Honeybee Plumbing was very responsive. He asked me to text a few specific photos of my water heater and guessed at the part I needed. I appreciated that so much because the problem was repaired more quickly than it would have been otherwise. He was understanding about my distress of having my family being without hot water. I'd definitely call him again.

Art did a wonderful job for me. He repaired my water heater that was under warranty. He kept me informed before he arrived via text message as to when he would show up, and was was prompt with his arrival. I feel he is a very professional plumber. I would not hesitate to use him again whatsoever for any of my plumbing needs. Furthermore, he gave me some very good suggestions as to how to maintain my new water heater. I have since followed through with his recommendations. This gentleman gets a five out of five stars in my book

Our last visit from Art Perez was the best one yet; over the years he's been here 3-4 times. He answered his phone right away, made arrangements to be here first thing the next morning, called when he was going to be late b/c of an emergency, and as soon as he finished w/ that, he called to say he was on his way. He was here by 11:30am, assessed the problem, fixed our plumbing and was gone by approx 12:30 . We really appreciated how quickly he responded and fixed our problem. Maybe Art has turned over a new leaf since 2014, because our experience was very positive. He is referred to us by Old Republic and we gladly would have him back to our house again.

Don't waste your time with this plumber. He plays a lot of games to try and squeeze more money out of people. He was sent out for a warranty inspection and came out 3 times without ever looking at the problem area. He wanted us to pay him $600. just to straighten out a vent.
I would never recommend his service!

I was very happy with Art. He stuck with a difficult project in a difficult situation until it was resolved.

I had a bad experience with this plumber who was appointed by my home warranty company for a slab leak. Among other things, he made promises he did not keep, his voice mail box was always full, and he failed to respond to my emails requesting a status update. He really deserves zero stars in my opinion...

Art completely lied to me. Called him at 7:45am to schedule a visit. He said he'd be by. Talked to him several times that morning and then at 3:45pm finally got through to him and he said he was on his way back to his shop and couldn't do it until the next day. Totally unacceptable. This is after not having hot water for three days. What a complete screw up. Never use this guy. Cannot keep his word or his schedule.
