Northcoast Plumbing
Company Overview
I began my plumbing career in 2004 and bring a broad range of expertise in residential and commercial plumbing. I specialize in accurately pinpointing plumbing issues and developing the most economical and durable solutions, no matter the job size. I handle everything from leaks and drips (water, drain, gas) to repiping, fixtures, and remodels.
My C-36 plumbing license was awarded to me in 2010 and managed a thriving small business in the SF Bay Area. In 2014, I relocated to Humboldt to serve as the RMO for a plumbing chain that had changed ownership and required a licensed professional. Observing the business practices and the original staff scatter prompted me to return to my own venture. I wanted to provide quality workmanship, fair pricing, and authentic customer service.
My plumbing education began with a 900-hour training program in the Bay Area. Within a year, I joined the ""commercial team"" at my first company, a notable achievement for them. Years later, I understood that the ideal way to deliver great service at a reasonable cost was to create my own company. I created this company to serve as a local option against the larger plumbing corporations. I aim to assist my community and offer my clients a touch of the past.

Recommended Customer Reviews

We are first-time customers of Bart, and definitely recommend him highly. He has excellent communication skills, he shows up when promised, and he diagnosed and completed the work in record time. We were very, very pleased and will call him first when we need plumbing services.

Although I didn't do business with them, I called them and the gentleman that answered the phone was amazing. Super nice and accommodating. I let him know what was going on and he said he could be there the same day.
I called them because the other plumbing device I had originally contracted had cancelled. However, after calling them I received a knock at my door. It was the other plumbing service. I called Northcoast Plumbing back and they were understanding. We shared a laugh and I told them that I would definitely use them in the future if I have issues. I felt like they deserved this review and I hope other people give this awesome business a chance!

Bart utilizes modern technology for his business which is awesome and helpful. He also gives free quotes for work quickly--which is very much appreciated in emergency plumbing situations! I'm not sure if he charges $150 or $200 per hour, but the job was done in less than a week and I appreciated Bart's kind phone etiquette. He is a credit to the trades industry and has top notch technology use, with texts to let you know he is on the way to your repair. I was quoted $150 for one hour of labor and $150 for parts over the phone. I asked if we could get the price any lower on parts, as I thought that would lower the bill. Bart said he would look around town at parts and let me know. He was able to find a replacement part for less than $100, and I was charged $300 total (so $200 for an hour of labor I assume) which was his original quote. Overall pleased with the outcome.

I contacted them by the online option on behalf of my mother who lives in Arcata, but they were unable to schedule an appointment for above 3 weeks. The communication was prompt and appreciated. Due to the urgency of the situation, we had to get the work done by another party.

Bart has done two separate jobs for me in the last couple of months, and I can't recommend him highly enough! He very efficiently diagnoses problems, and he gave excellent tips on what to look for when buying a new sink and faucet, which he installed beautifully. I was bracing myself for the worst with a toilet repair, but he found that the problem wasn't as serious as he thought it might be, so the job was quick and less expensive than I anticipated. Very pleasant fellow to deal with, honest, friendly, and knowledgeable.

When I had a pressurized sewer line rupture Bart was there and ready to help. In addition to having a strong constitution when faced with the ick factor of this project, he brought his knowledge and experience to bear and I am confident that we will not have this section of the sewer line rupture again.
As other reviewers have noted, Bart is up to date with the latest in online scheduling, billing, and notifications. It's a comfort to know via text message that your plumber is on the way and is ""x"" minutes out.
I'd hire Bart again and I'd recommend you do the same.

Went above and beyond Bart is very polite and professional, repaired my problem quickly and showed up on time.
Also helped identify another issue before it got out of hand

All I really need to say is that all of the Five Star Reviews on Yelp for Bart and his Northcoast Plumbing are right on. An excellent plumbing experience with Bart replacing the faucet in our kitchen sink. Not only are his plumbing skills good, his communication skills utilizing e-mail and texting are of great benefit and were much appreciated. Overall, our experience with Bart at Northcoast Plumbing was very satisfying, and I do not hesitate recommending Bart and his Northcoast Plumbing highly.

I decided to call Northcoast Plumbing because of the great reviews. Bart did not disappoint! He came out the same day I called to check on our kitchen faucet that was leaking at the base. He recommended ordering a new one because fixing the old one would not be worth it. I ordered one myself through Amazon and he came out and installed it quickly and efficiently. Bart is also very reasonably priced! I was very satisfied with his work!

Not that Bart needs another five star rating or excellent review but here goes:
I am so happy I decided to call Northcoast Plumbing when the ""first guy"" I called gave me attitude, turned out to be super-flaky UBER expensive (without even starting the work)!
Bart was completely knowledgeable about his craft. He was efficient, effective, and tackled my 3 emergent tasks in less than an hour! If I were to be unhappy about anything it's that this guy is just TOO BUSY! But with all these excellent reviews that is certainly understandable. So be patient and be sure to get on his schedule EARLY!
