This is the second time we have called Watkins Plumbing and couldn't be happier with the service. Richard was professional, polite, and you can tell he takes pride in his work. Would never hesitate to call him again if needed.

I woke one morning and had NO hot water. First I panicked, then I checked on Yelp for comments on local plumbers and chose Watkins Plumbing based on its favorable reviews. I'm so glad I did! The technician arrived on schedule and completed the job quickly. I want to give a special shout-out to my technician, Walt. He took the time to thoroughly explain the process and my options. The price was very fair, the technician was very charming, the job was extremely well done, and the customer is very happy. It doesn't get any better than that!!

I had a water heater issue that i diagnosed and called Worldpool looking for the part and someone to install it. They had the part for $35 and gave me Watkins number. i did no order the part thinking that i should let Watkins make some money and then i would not have to pay for overnight shipping. So hear is what Watkins quoted me. a $109 for a service call to diagnose the problem then $90 for the part that i gave them the part number for and another $109 service call to install plus there hourly rate. That is over $300 for a part $35 that i ended up having overnight shipped $30 and installed myself in about 45 min. I feel that they were price gouging being the only Worldpool service rep in the aria. This was a standard call that should have been covered with about $100 plus a FAIR price on the parts NOT $300+ !!!

We chose Watkins Plumbing to install a new Water Heater, and an Instant Hot Water Recirculating System. Our thanks to Richard for working with us on setting up the project, and especially for having Mike come out to do the job. Mike's work product is the best we've come across, ever. We are more than pleased with how they both took such good care of us.

We are now permanent customers of Watkins Plumbing.

Excellent service! I was having issues with my hot water heater and needed someone to come by ASAP. Taking cold showers in February is not my favorite thing ever. Watkins was recommended to me when I had trouble getting someone to come by either after work or during the day without me. I work in Oroville and live in Chico, so this has caused issues in the past. Jeff drove over on short notice and worked it all out with my landlords while I was away. He ended up installing a brand new water heater and didn't mind clearing out a family of mice that had made a nest in there over the winter. I can't thank these guys enough! They are quick, courteous, and are flexible enough to work with your schedule. I've put them in my phone contacts for future reference.

We were having some trouble with our water heater and Watkins Plumbing sent someone out (to Paradise) the same day. We ended up needing a new water heater (which we bought and ended up replacing ourself) and they DIDNT even charge us for a service call. We will definately keep our business here, if needed in the future.

Best Plumber in Oroville, they always answer the phone, FAX, text and emailing whatever is needed. The work was done the next day. Amazing people, I will use them again and again!

Big thank you to Donnie for awesome, prompt and courteous service! Went through 2 terrible plumbing companies with our Home Warranty company before they gave us Watkins Plumbing! So glad they did! Fixed our leaking (2nd story) toilet quick! We will be requesting them for any other plumbing issues!

I cannot recommend this place enough. We have used them in the past for minor plumbing emergencies and they have always been affordable, prompt, courteous and we have never been charged above their estimated cost, once even less than estimated. They even take the time to explain what they need to do and why while creating the estimated cost. They are also very accurate in their estimates, we have never paid more than expected.

Today Watkins takes the cake for being fantastically awesome. Our hot water tank died last week. It wasn't a shock...Watkins told us 2 years ago it was on its last leg..we just waited too long. Instead of calling Watkins, we opted to try the installation services of the giant orange big box store....huge mistake. Someone arrived 10 hours later to tell us he couldn't fix it or replace it until we agreed to allow him to upgrade all of our water and gas lines to bring up to code, new drain pan, and valves. Estimated costs were $1500-$1800. And of course it was too late to do it today and might have to order the tank we needed. We tried a few alternatives without success.

This morning after having had enough of cold showers and boiling water to do the dishes, we called Watkins. Our Heros.

They had someone here in less than an hour to estimate costs. He found that yes we needed some upgrades to bring it all up to code, but not everything had to be replaced as much if the water lines were already @ code and perfectly fine and he could upgrade us to a larger tank. Within 3 hours from the time we called them we had a brand new tank, pipes and valves replaced for $700 less than the other estimate. The tech they sent was really nice and really quick. We will never use another plumber again. Thank you Watkins
