Mikes Plumbing

Mike and his team came to my house to repair the water main valve. They showed up when they committed to and did the work promptly. As many large projects go, they ran into a number of unknown issues and were persistent in getting all of them resolved. Many companies might have dragged their feet when some of the unexpected problems arose but Mike and team were timely and stayed on task until we were back to 100% operational. Thanks Mike and team for the professional and responsive service!

We are definitely going with Mike because he doesn't upswell and is knowledgeable. Very happy.

During a busy holiday weekend our water heater stopped working when we had a house full of guests. Mike called me back right away and made extra time in his schedule to get our system working again. It's so refreshing to work with someone who is kind and flexible to your situation. We're planning to have his team upgrade our house to tankless on the strength of this interaction. Integrity like his builds lasting relationships.

I used this company recently for a burst pipe.  The owner said his employee Shaun would be there at  9:00am if he wasn't late as usual (I am paraphrasing) and laughed.  At 9:07am my husband looked at his watch and thought maybe they weren't going to show up and fix the pipe.  He estimated Shaun arrived 15 to 20 minutes later.  I kept track when Shaun arrived because I had been told the day before by another contractor to watch the plumbers carefully, he had heard a lot of horror stories and they are crooks up here, so I clocked the employee coming in at 9:27am.  He was done with all work by 11:06am.  The work seemed fine except Shaun made 3 huge unnecessary holes that we will have to patch (2 holes each on 2 different walls), even though both my husband and I had originally told him that we thought the leak was where it turned out to actually be and my husband tried to stop him from making the third unneccessay hole, to no avail. Both Shaun and I noted the time on the clock on my wall as 11:13am while arguing about the time he worked and after we had just about finished fighting about him trying to bill me for 3 hours when he didn't even work 2 hours!  Shaun stated he was billing me from 08:55am when he left the shop-37 minutes?  Their shop is in Big Bear City and I am in Big Bear Lake. They never told me previously that the time started before they reached the job.    When I checked maps.com, it said it was a 5 mile, 9 minute drive from their shop to our home.  Even doubling the driving time to an 18 minute drive they still worked less than 2 hours.  But they are also charging me an additional 'truck' fee which is to cover driving time, mileage, fuel, etc. to a job!  The owner Mike said Shaun billed me wrong and should only have billed me 2 1/2 hours!  He tried to get me to pay 1/2 hour over, but I said no as Shaun worked less than 2 hours.  I always understood they billed by the hour, not half hour.  Their stories keep changing.  Mike finally agreed to the actual 2 hours worked plus the $25 truck fee but wrote on the invoice:  ""Total hours reduced due to customer complaint.""   I was very offended by that since no hours were reduced except the hour they attempted to overbill me.  I don't trust them and will no longer use this company.

Mike's plumbing got the job finished quick, and also installed the very next day. I have used this plumber before and he fixed a pipe leak inside my home. This time I called and they were super busy however he installed a new water heater the very next day. Very fair price wise and I am grateful that we had hot water immediately. If you having a plumbing issue I highly recommend Mikes Plumbing. He is busy because the service is great!
Thank you Mikes plumbing for getting my new water heated installed immediately.

Mike did a fantastic job installing a stop/waste that was frozen for many years. Communicative, professional and reliable. 100% go-to moving forward!

Been using Mikes for the last 3 years and every single time we had to use them it has always been a pleasure dealing with them. The best thing about Mikes is that they actually show up which for Big Bear is huge, they do a great job and are always very polite and easy to deal with. Big Bear is a very unique place and most service providers tend to be on the not so reliable side which is why we appreciate Mikes Plumbing and the fact that showing up for a job or a quote is of outmost importance to them.

Kind of flaky they made a date to repair my bathroom plumbing, cancelled and rescheduled for two days later and never showed up. I didn't hear from them until I called them 5 days later and got another excuse. Not very trust worthy in my opinion... Also be careful if you let them in your home and your not there they look through your refrigerator and drink your water. ( they didn't know I was watching )

Mike is the only guy I trust with my rental up in Big Bear. He is fast, great quality and fairly priced. Mike has unclogged drains, tankless, and installed a new line from house to the street. Highly recommended.
