Tarantino Plumbing

Daisy M.

My water and energy bill doubled and my kitchen and bathroom floors consistently warm. After waiting a few months (due to covid) I called Rick Tarantino, he immediately knew my problem. My home is on a concrete slab and I had a hot water leak. I imagined and was told by others that I would have to jack hammer through the kitchen floor to find the leaking pipe. Nope, Rick explained that he could re route the pipe above surface through the walls. With minimal inconvenience Rick, Manny and his crew did exactly what was proposed for half the cost expected. So, when my sewer pipe broke in two places I didn't hesitate to call Rick. From prompt start to finish my dual nightmare was over. I cannot recommend this company enough for their quality, excellence and knowledge. A true gem in Marin County.

I had a pinhole leak that drove me nuts trying to find. Turned out it was caused by galvanic corrosion of a copper hot water pipe touching a steel drain pipe. The corrosion had reached a point where it weakened the pipe wall. But the leak came and went due to thermal expansion so I would sometimes find a puddle and at other times it was dry (although lately it was mostly wet).
Thanks to the professionalism of the guys at Tarantino Plumbing, they found the leak and fixed it by taking out the damaged section and re-routing it so it won't happen again!
They wore their masks at all times, took off their shoes when inside, and cleaned up before they left, not that they made much of any mess to begin with. Highly recommended!

Fantastic! Simply FANTASTIC! We had a kitchen line back up into the garage due to old degraded galvanized pipes. I brought in another (large) local plumbing company who has fancy vans and seems to advertise everywhere. They gave me a extremely high estimate for one day's worth of work. I called Tarantino Plumbing, based on a recommendation from a friend, and scheduled them to complete the work. Over the phone they quoted me significantly less than the big guys for the same amount of work. They showed up on time the day of the install and did very good work. When I asked for the final bill is was EVEN LOWER than the one they quoted me on the phone! They were responsive, effective, and trustworthy. I'll definitely use Tarantino Plumbing.

I can not say enough about Rick and his crew. I have used Rick for Several years, on our home and two rentals we have in Marin. Rick is reliable, timely and clean. He knows what he is doing and does the job right the first time. He is replacing a hot water heater for me right now! after a frantic call from my tenant.
Thank you Rick

Rick showed up on time and more-or-less fixed my problem. He used a part that wasn't quite right that he happened to have on his truck and charged double what it would cost anywhere else. He was here for 5-10 minutes and billed for an hour, with no prior mention of a minimum service charge. The faucet works, though pressure is now excessive because of the wrong part, but I feel totally ripped off on the bill.

While living in Marin, for 20+ years we've relied on Rick for all our plumbing needs. He's been great. He is willing to troubleshoot problems to find the solution. He knows what to look for. He's resourceful. His prices are fair. He works hard. He even let me call him while he was on vacation to discuss an issue (so we could be ready for his visit when he returned). Not surprisingly, I've long recommended him to anyone who'll listen.

Rick (and his) team are fantastic.....I have used his team several times. ALWAYS the job was done well, at a fair price, and with outstanding customer service and responsiveness. He and his team are very innovative at solving difficult plumbing issues and I am very appreciative of his service. I would never use another plumber after finding Rick.

Rick is the best and has done work for me over the years and have never been disappointed. I am in the trades so I know good customer service as well as quality work and Tarantino Plumbing provides it all. My water heater went out and Rick and his team where there the next day, figured out the problem and had hot water for my family in no time. I highly recommend Tarantino Plumbing as their service is excellent.

Manny and Martin were prompt, quiet, efficient, and even went above and beyond by installing my shower filter for me! Thank you so much! You won't regret choosing them. I have an indoor cat too and I didn't even have to put him in his kennel too.

Sunday 5/27/18 the day before Memorial Day, I looked in my utility closet outside and discovered my 27 yr. old water heater was dripping from top and bottom with what looked like rusty drip marks down it! I called and left Rick a frantic message. He called and advised he'd be at my house on Memorial Day at 8am...and here he was at 7:45am! He looked at the area, that was drenched in water and said he thought he had a new water heater at his shop. He went to his shop and confirmed that the new water heater would be here & it was at 9ish am! The workers had the new water heater beautifully installed by 11:30am and hot water was up again a while later. I was sooo impressed by all this getting done in a few hrs. on a holiday. Much thanks to Rick and his workers for their speedy but perfect installation, it is appreciated.
