Plumbing Repair Specialists

This company was sent to me by the manufacturer of our brand new water heater which was having problems. The receptionist Tammy was inpatient, unhelpful, unpleasant and very rude. She has no knowledge of what customer service means. The owner was a little better but also very poor customer service. They will talk over you and not let you talk. When I asked the man who came to service it if he could wear booties (my crawl space where the water heater is located can only be accessed through the house and has dirt floor which would drag dirt thought out my first and second floor) he made some unfriendly comment and told me i should put plastic in the crawl space. It took him a couple of minutes for him to go back to his truck and get his booties (which he had all along). I really don't understand why all his comment was necessary; just seems that he was eager to be difficult. I have had many service people come through the house as we did a complete renovation of our house and most service people had booties with them or was happy to wear the ones I have if necessary. Of milliards of people that has come through my house through the 1 year renovation they were by far the worst!!! Awful experience.

Incredibly bad customer service by both Tammy in the office and Kip in the field. They got the water heater repair done after a lot of excuses and several visits, but definitely not worth the aggravation and surely attitudes. Look elsewhere!

The receptionist for this company is the most rude and difficult person I have ever had to deal with. These people replaced a thermal coupler in our hot water heater while we were traveling. When we came home we discovered that the hot water heater would not work. We were without hot water for 4 days and then, when the receptionist finally called back to see what the problem was she informed me ""that we do not warrant our work"" and you will have to pay to have whatever is wrong now fixed. AMAZING. And she was rude and obnoxious on top of it.

NEVER USE THESE PEOPLE !!!! YOU WILL BE SORRY !!!!

Wednesday night we had signs of a clogged line from our toilet. Last summer Kip installed a clean-out to give us peace of mind about the back-up not coming into the house. I called Thursday morning and despite a full schedule Tammy was able to have Kip swing by to clear the line so that we did not have to deal with it again overnight. She gave us a window of time - and Kip still arrived early. As always Kip was friendly, got right to the job, and was conscientious about the clean up when done. We really appreciated the ""can-do"" attitude from Tammy in the office and Kip's willingness and flexibility in fitting us in at short notice. There was no guarantee about fitting us in, but Kip managed to do it - and was early to boot. Thanks!

The name of this company was given to us by Customer Service of Star Premier heaters .
Kip came exactly at the time of the scheduled visit. He is very experienced. Knew exactly what was the problem, fixed it. Allowed enough time to explain everything. Very good service. (we can compare, because in the recent past we already had guys from other companies trying to repair our water heater).

I'm not sure what other folks found objectionable with the customer service or the ability to do a simple job. Tammy was easy to talk to on the phone and helped me pick an appointment that worked. Kip showed up right on time, was cheerful and capable, did the straightforward task and made one I thought would be more complicated straightforward as well.

We have a conventional plumber in Marin.

Kip was totally great! Flexible and helpful when we needed a water heater repaired. Prices were very reasonable for the work done. We will
Most definitely call him again whenever we need a plumber.

I will never use anybody else. Kip knows his stuff has been always been fair and expeditious with emergency repairs due to accidental main service line breakages in Marin County during the course of my sign installation business. He is the very best, and a heck of a nice guy.

I inherited Kip and Plumbing Repair Specialists when I took over as manager of The Priory Tennis Club in Kentfield. Boy, was that fortunate. Since I first used him three years ago, I've used only him. He's expert, punctual and has never failed to fix a problem. Today, I called him for an emergency. The toilets were backing up and leaking through the floor drains--the day before the opening of the pool! Kip came out in less than a half-hour and had the problem solved in under an hour. I wouldn't use another plumber, ever!

Being in the trade myself ( union trained - Local 38 ) I asked at the plumbing warehouse in Marin for a knowledgeable local plumber . Both the counter folks immediately recommended Plumbing Repair Specialists. Kip they assured me had enormous experience in all aspects of plumbing and I wouldn't be disappointed. This was for a faithful elderly former customer of mine who had moved into the area. Not only did the secretary( Tammy ) call an hour before arriving but Kip went over and above in making sure that he gas part of the job was made safe and up to code. Colleen, my former client, was impressed with his politeness and promptness and upon examination of his work I was impressed with his professionalism. I would have no hesitation in recommending Plumbing Repair Specialists. They may not be a big company but their prices are fair and their work is first rate!
