The Lunt Marymor Company

S. D.

I have called them several times now and I think they do a great job.
Their prices may not be discounted, but they show up, are competent, and call you later to see if you are happy with their work. they are licensed, bonded, and stand behind their work and that does mean something to me.

The first plumber I hired to snake my clogged drain told me it was a serious problem that couldn't be snaked. He charged me $200 to give me that diagnosis. Fortunately I couldn't afford to have him cut through the wall to do this major job at the time and I lived with the problem for several weeks until the drain wouldn't drain at all and it became an emergency. Boy, did I ever get it right with this company. Steve found the problem and snaked it successfully all in less than an hour. No cutting through walls, no major plumbing job. No major expense. These guys are the bomb!

The situation: our bathroom at the office. The scenario: the faucet was broken inadvertently by our housekeeper. After having one of our guys--NOT plumbers clearly--look at it the search began for an elusive part. Dozens of plumbers & plumbing supply companies later and still no part. Months pass and we are washing our hands not in the bathroom but in a nearby sink. It isn't pretty.
One day I pass Lunt Marymor on the way into work. I call them. The lovely woman who answers asks me to describe the faucet, then asks me to send a pic from my phone. She IDs ithe faucet from the pic!! How cool is that??? Some German faucet company. Anyhoo, she gives me a quote--and sadly, I know my boss is not going to go for it. But then she calls ME back to say there is a less expensive yet similar style faucet she knows of, half the price. Long story short: we are washing our hands in our bathroom like civilized people now and Lunt Marymor is the reason why.
Thank you thank you thank you!

There really is a Lunt (Jim) and a Marymor (Leigh) and they are both very experienced professionals. I am a contractor and plumber myself and when I need timely expert support these guys and their team deliver. Front office through field personnel they are responsive and capable. I highly recommend Lunt Marymor for any service or new construction needs.

We have used LMC for our plumbing needs for over 10 years. They are wonderful - they show up on time, their staff is very well trained, they are great at giving you options and costs. Their clean-up afterwards is excellent, which for many companies can be a weak point. We highly recommend them!

You call, you make an appointment, they show on time, they charge the going rate for solid craftsmanship.
They historically have worked on big building construction projects, but due to the weak economy now have a service department which brings all that construction experience with them. They are not who you would call for a blocked toilet emergency - that would be roto rooter or rescue rooter (who rip you off when you are most desperate). These guys are for the planned plumbing jobs. You won't be sorry. if they don't get it right the first time and they are at fault, then they do it right with no charge on the return visit.

Like S. d., they've done good work for me in the past, but it was steep. Better the devil you know, so I went with them when I had a cracked sewer lateral.

$800 later i have some footage of the pipe and an I had to ask them to resend the estimate (only the bill arrived the first time). The proposal involved re-routing half my lines cost 6.5K, which doesn't include permits and I would have to do the crawl space excavation (not insubstantial) myself.

After some research I found a trenchless solution (cured in place pipe) for a small fraction to repair only the 4' section of damaged cast iron pipe (the rest looked healthy).

To sum up: good work if money is no object. Down side, expensive and not much interest in finding the best value solution.

It was lucky for us we called LuntMarymor to get earthquake shutoff valves for our gas meters. Antonio arrived, on time, and handled the entire business including shutting off for the installation and restarting all of our gas appliances when he was done. Service was professionaly, courteous and done at a very fair price. We will definitely call LuntMarymor again when we need plumbing service.

I have recommended this Plumbing Company to so many of my friends and they always comment back to me on how GREAT these plumbers are. They give you more then what you pay for. If the problem they went out to fix didn't completely get fixed the first time they will go out and try to fix it again on warranty. Recently my toilet was over flowing and i didn't know how to stop the water from spilling all over the floor. So I called LuntMarymor in a spastic tone of voice asking to send someone out immediately. The lady on the phone was more then a miracle worker, she told me to turn the knob in the back of my toilet all the way to the left to stop the water from running in the toilet. When i did that, the water instantly stopped pouring out and i was able to get my self together, and stop the water from spilling all over my carpet floors. The lady on the phone scheduled for someone to fix my toilet with in 2 hours. The Plumber (or what they call ""Journey man"") came out and was done fixing the toilet in less then an hour. I was more then satisfied with the results of having my toilet repaired.

I would and will recommend this company (LuntMarymor) to all those who have major and/or simple plumbing needs.

THANK YOU LUNTMARYMOR FOR ALL THE HARD WORK!

Lunt Marymor has been my plumber for years. Prompt, professional, skilled, they are especially good with odd European fixtures. They can find replacement parts for almost anything and don't push for total replacement like some companies. They protect the floors with mats they bring themselves, bring their own safe light source so they can really see what the problem is, and clean up the work area very nicely when they're done. They've been able to handle any plumbing problem I've had. I don't find their prices higher than other plumbers I've used, although I usually see their trucks in upscale neighborhoods.

As far as their not quoting the price of a water heater over the phone (as one reviewer complained about) you tell me how someone would do that? There are all sorts of unknowns that require an inspection. Berkeley especially is filled with water heaters that are hooked up against code and would be a plumber's nightmare to replace. Look up the price of a water heater on the internet and do some research to get an idea what it would cost before you call.
