I called Ken with a smelly situation (broken sewage ejector pump) on a Saturday night. Ken was extremely helpful on the phone, even trying to verbally walk me through steps that could resolve the situation myself. When that didn't work, he came the next morning, during a snow storm, on time as promised and was able to fix the problem without needing any new parts.

He is extremely professional, honest and very fair in assessments. Using him (or any plumber) for emergency weekend repairs is going to cost you more, but Ken was high integrity in my experience and not looking to gauge homeowners with extra costs or parts if not needed.

I would 100% use Ken again and heartily recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and punctual plumber in the North Lake area!

Ken did a good job and was courteous but he overcharged by 25% to 30%. He charged almost $600 for a simple kitchen faucet. Did some checking after I paid and it should have been tops $450. That being said he is a nice guy but too expensive

Ken and his crew are the best. You will not find a more dedicated plumber anywhere. Ken was out this morning to install a faucet when he found out today is the only day an appointment would work for me. Look no further for your plumbing needs.

I called Ken Fielding at North Lake Plumbing yesterday afternoon because my house in Kings Beach had a water leak. He answered the phone when I called the first time, was attentive, professional and patient as I struggled with my lack of plumbing knowledge to describe the issue. As luck would have it, he was already headed towards Kings Beach that afternoon and he kindly took the time to stop by my house and take a look at the problem. We talked again after he had seen the leak and he assured me that the work could be done the next day...and IT WAS! In the past with other home maintenance service providers, I've been quoted a certain cost and a certain time frame for completion and by the time the job is finished, it had taken twice as long and cost significantly more that originally quoted. This didn't happen with Ken. In fact, he even gave me a discount on his original quote because he was efficient and the work got done more quickly than anticipated! This man was honest, reasonable and a complete joy to work with. I will be storing his number in my phone for any future plumbing issues. Thank you Ken!

We called North Lake Plumbing due to an issue that came up at a house we're staying at in Alpine Meadows. Ken came within an hour of us calling. He was professional and astute in his work. He fixed the problem quickly. Thank you, Ken.

After seeing my review Ken contacted me and said that he had not responded to me earlier because he was on vacation. We had a dialogue and he ended up sending me a check for $150 and an apology for not resolving my issue, which I appreciate. He asked that I amend my review to reflect his adjustment. I would still highly recommend that people establish hourly rates and minimums, weekend/OT rates and parts costs up front, and especially before providing a credit card. That goes for this and other vendors. I must admit that it was really dumb on my part to provide that card before receiving and reviewing the service provided. I would also suggest to Ken that he provide more detail on his invoices.

Recently we found a leak under our sink in our Tahoe Donner home and had to call Ken. He was there within a few hours and found that our garbage disposal was cracked and needed to be replaced. It was 15 year old. We also had discovered a very slow leak in the master bathroom. When Ken looked at that he noticed that the angle stop valve was also very old and needed replacement.
Ken had repaired our shower faucets a few years ago and then our circulating pump was not working correctly and he fixed that also. Ken has always been prompt, honest about the problem and very helpful regarding future issues to look out for. We will continue to call on him for our plumbing needs.

37yr old water heater finally died. Ken and crew picked-up a new Rheem, delivered, & installed it all within 4 hours from when I placed the initial call. I'll have them back to do the unfortunate task of replacing my leaking water main shutoff valve. :(

Our water shut off valve was broken. Called Ken and he and his nephew showed up within three hours. What a job. Just getting to the valve under the house was almost impossible but they did it. This is the third time we've used North Lake Plumbing and each time the response has been the same day and the issue has been fixed right.

I've used North Lake Plumbing for serveral emergency repair jobs for my rental condo in Kingswood Village. Ken has always been able to come over within a few hours of when I called him, including fixing a broken shower on Christmas Eve when no other plumber in Tahoe would even call me back. I'm very happy with the work from North Lake Plumbing and Ken and Cindy are always friendly and responsive.
