The City of South Lake Tahoe was incorporated in 1965 and Rudy Vogel founded Rudy's Plumbing. Almost 50 years later, Rudy's Plumbing and Heating remains committed to providing top-notch plumbing and heating services to the community of South Lake Tahoe. Voted ""Best of Tahoe"" multiple times in South Lake Tahoe, Rudy's Plumbing and Heating is the preferred choice for almost 50 years. Keith and Linda Cloutier, who have lived here for years, built Aspen Plumbing and Heating and gained a strong reputation in South Lake Tahoe when Rudy Vogel asked Keith one day about taking over his business and upholding his name and reputation. In August 2000, Keith and Linda wrapped up the deal of Rudy's Plumbing & Heating. Today, 13 years later, Rudy's continues to maintain the solid reputation and focus on customer service that Rudy Vogel initiated in 1965.

I'm sitting here in my freezing house, no one can come until after that first. This is a unit they installed and is my only heat source. Now, I don't know what I'm more pissed about, the piece of junk they installed, or Suzie's attitude as she's telling me there's nothing they can do for me. She doesn't care about her return customers, just that first 5 grand plus that you hand over to them. Good thing they aren't the only game in town.

My wife and I take care of a big rental home for a friend. Rudy's converted a wood fireplace in it to a gas (fake log) fireplace with glass doors to prevent renters from doing something dumb or making a mess. We followed their suggestion of a 4-button timer on the wall--30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and off. The work was very nicely done and the timer has confused no one (with a short note to point it out on the mantel). The owners and us are very pleased.

Needless to say, this house also has plumbing and heating problems on occasion. I have found Rudy's has done their best to accommodate schedules which are largely determined by when the house is unoccupied. That has been a major plus.

All in all, no complaints and very happy with the quality of results and the pleasant people I have dealt with.

We needed some work done regarding shortening an overflow water heater pipe as well as for our heater. Terry came out from Rudy's and did a great and fast job! We were then able to call our handyman to finish our garage project. We will definitely call Rudy's if we ever need assistance again!

I have used Rudy's now on multiple jobs from a broken supply line, new gas stove and a complete duct replacement. They have always been great at scheduling the job as well as completing the job on time. Cory and Brian have usually done the work and their awesome. Would highly recommend Rudys.

The woman who answered the phone was very friendly, when the plumber ran a bit late she called to let me know. We had no water and they had someone out very quickly. The work was done quickly and very well. Could not be happier.

Rudy's Plumbing is great. Jason was prompt, thorough, courteous and knowledgeable. The cost as compared to the amount of work was very reasonable. We would call upon them again and recommend them to anyone needing plumbing assistance. Rudys is fortunate to have Jason on their team.

I called to schedule an estimate, no problem. Keith came out on time, super nice guy & I enjoyed chatting with him regarding my project & owning a business in Tahoe. We both laughed & agreed how difficult it is to find people who are on time, did a good job & followed through with their word in Tahoe. He said they'd get back to me with a quote in a couple weeks; I called 2 months later to follow up, the lady at the front desk gave me some excuse that they are a small business and they were struggling to keep up. (I mentioned I own a small business & didn't think that was a good excuse) She promised he would get it to me within a week with some numbers, that was 2 months ago & I haven't heard back. I'm very disappointed, I was looking forward to giving them my business & suggesting their company to my clients but obviously they are not interested in keeping their word.

Wow......Keith C. responded 6 months later.....he must be losing business. Well Keith sorry you don't like the truth but your people kept us waiting and we are under City regulations to get heating repaired quickly. Also running a credit card in advance violates many contractor regulations, maybe I need to go there next so that you leave South Lake as fast as you got here.
