CHEERS to RANDY and BRANDON! They were at our house yesterday and were SUPER! Bless Randy's heart .. he had to go under our house with all the spiders and snakes ... and even came out alive! Also, he found some things not right with the new pipes we got in the last couple years. And TODAY someone will be back! THANK YOU for your PROFESSIONALISM, KINDNESS, PROMPTNESS, and being FAITHFUL in this mostly faithless world. I do tell everyone about you! Especially after seeing the horror of Apex work just down a cpl houses at my friends. May God continue to bless and keep you all!!! Joanna Chapman

We have relied on Wickstrom Plumbing for the last six years. We first came across them when they fixed our water leak problem that was covered by the water company maintenance plan (HomeServe). We were so impressed with their knowledge about where the leak was coming from (they found it right away) and how effectively they fixed the problem.

We called Wickstrom again when we had problems with one of our showers not functioning, and also had them fix another faucet in the kitchen. They were professional and expert with their craft. The kitchen faucet repair person did mark up the faucet with his wrench, which I was surprised to see from a licensed plumber. That was the only downside to our work with them.

We have since recommended Wickstrom to a few people on chat groups in west Boise, and they had equally good things today about their work. We paid the going rate for plumbing work and were pleased with the value of their work. We will use Wickstrom again.

Very segmented. If the pipe repair requires digging another group is required. Takes too much time to get it done. A local plumber had the job done in four hours.

Wickstrom is a family owned company. The family is inclusive of office staff, repair teams to the management. Including in that family as well is the customer. The staff is responsive, the communication is excellent. We have one their home contracts and would first remember that.
Our furnace treasured replacement and their team from Doug the sales representative, to the team that handled the job all has been courteous and professional. I would highly recommend you consider their services.

Poor quality Material & Service. I Purchased and had installed a $2000. water heater supplied by Wickstrom Plumbing. 18 months later the pipe fittings supplied by Wickstrom Plumbing are rusting and leaking. I completed a On-line service request to have the fittings replaced. My appointment was confirmed to me twice. 1-1/2 hr prior to arrival after making ready to receive them the Wickstrom office rescheduled on me.
Their explanation was to blame the computer for creating multiple appointments.
Computers don't do that . People do that.
After this experience I will never use their company again.

Something about this business has just rubbed me the wrong way, and it begins with their on-site man, Cody. I've crossed paths with him 3 times now, and each time I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. My next-door neighbor has had a lot of problems with their outside plumbing. They've now had the same repair done 6 (!!!) times in the last 18 months. On one of those occasions, Cody knocked on my door. He was very, very nice, and asked for permission to access the neighbor's front yard from mine, which meant driving a bulldozer across my lawn and damaging my grass. It was against my better judgement, but he was persuasive and seemed so sincere in his request. He was very, very respectful of me and my concerns about damaging my lawn, and he assured me they would repair the damage when they were done. I gave him the go-ahead. Fast forward, he damaged my lawn, left huge ruts and tread marks all over it, and didn't bother to repair it, or to speak with me again. I did the repair myself.

The next repair my neighbor needed, a few months later (same leak as before on their front lawn) Cody once again came to my front lawn, and once again asked, very respectfully and nicely, if he could drive his bulldozer across my front lawn again. I told him no and explained why, that he'd never repaired the previous damage he'd promised to do. He made several attempts to change my mind, almost pleading, in the same respectful manner he'd used before. I wouldn't budge. He suddenly did a 180, stalked away from my door, and said ""I'm done talking with you. I got no use for you."" Had to laugh at that, he'd shown his true colors and it was amusing how quickly he'd turned.

Because I have Home Serve insurance coverage, I contacted Wickstrom when I was having an issue with my outside plumbing. I had a bad leak and when I contacted Home Serve, the call was responded to by Wickstrom.It seems they have an exclusive contract with Home Serve. Cody came to my door, either he didn't remember me or he played it off. We looked at the leak area briefly, and he decided his company didn't do that kind of work (I was confused by this, but what can you do?) He then seemed to change his mind and poked around at the site of the leak for about 5 minutes, then told me, again, it wasn't their job, and he left. I was able to resolve the problem by hiring a plumber, who made very fast work of the leak, and the cost actually turned out to be far more economical than I'd anticipated.

My most recent contact with Wickstrom was in September 2022. Cody was digging up the neighbor's front lawn with his bulldozer again, same leak different day (SIX TIMES!!!). I went to the front door and began chatting with my neighbor about what was going on. i told the neighbor I wasn't impressed with Wickstrom. Apparently Cody was eavesdropping, because immediately after I said that, Cody (from where he was working, perhaps 20 feet away) asked in an elevated voice ""and why is that?"" I told him I hadn't been talking to him (my voice was elevated, as well) and he pointed at me and said ""yea, well, I'm talking to you."" The conversation didn't last long, as I had no desire to talk with him after our previous interactions and it was just two idiots hollering at each other. He came across as a hothead, and unfortunately I tend to be that way myself. However, upon finishing my conversation with my neighbor, I walked to the sidewalk and asked him if he still wanted to talk. He said no, it wouldn't do any good. I ended up cursing at him (which was wrong on my part) and told him he was ""full of shit."" By that, I meant he's very nice when he wants something, but when he doesn't, he is surly, unfriendly and unprofessional. That is the epitome of a phony, in my opinion.

I will be canceling my contract with Home Serve when the first year expires soon. I hope I don't regret it, as my neighborhood has had a lot of problems with outside plumbing and the insurance is a very good idea. I won't renew because I will never let Cody do anything on my property. I wish I had an option to use a different company than Wickstrom.

I'd be very careful about hiring Wickstrom if Cody shows up to do the job, and he seems to be an on-site manager of some sort. I would not trust him as far as I can throw him. If you find yourself, like me, forced to use Wickstrom due to Home Serve, just be sure you keep very close tabs on him and what he claims they are doing. The whole operation just has a rotten odor to it.

We had a significant leak with our outside water pipes. Wickstrom was contacted by Homeserve where we had insurance. Sam and Kody did a great job finding the leak and repaired it in a reasonable amount of time. They we professional and courteous. We highly recommend this company.

We had a slow leak in our 60 year old galvanized waterline coming from the meter at the street, into our house. The leak occurred about 2 feet away from the house --consequently we discovered a big pool of water in our basement on the floor in our laundry room and an adjacent bedroom. We've paid for the leak guard protection for years from the water company, unfortunately they only pay to have the leak repaired. We decided after looking at the old waterline, to bear the expense of having the entire line replaced from the street to the house. Wickstrom had the equipment to bore through the ground at a 42 inch depth, so the only excavation was at the water meter and near the house. We found every employee with Wickstrom's to be very professional, communicative, and careful in all the work that was done. They kept us advised of all arrival times, work times and helped us understand exactly what they were doing. Could not of asked for better service. A big shout out to Colton, Max, cam, chance and Cody. And Kelly in the office. Exceptional professionalism and great service!

The toilet in our basement bathroom had a broken ring between the toilet and the floor. Blake to the rescue!! A quick call to Wickstrom and Blake was there to handle the problem. He was professional and very competent and finished the job in a highly satisfactory manner. We will continue to trust Wickstrom with all our plumbing needs. Thank you Blake.
