Plumbers in Hercules

“City Mechanical is a great option for any business in the Bay Area looking for HVAC work done properly!“

“Tough spot for us, a pair of scissors got flushed down the toilet and got wedged so the toilet backed up. I tried everything to get to it and clear it but couldn't. I have a home warranty plan so called American Home Shield who sent out Bay Plumbing. I got a pretty quick appointment and was very pleased with Maria, the receptionist, who was very efficient and pleasant. Two plumbers came out today, I do believe the main plumber was Miquel, the other was Alexandro (I think). So they tried to auger the scissors out but no luck. Miguel said that American Home Shield would not pay for repairs because the scissors were a 'foreign object'. I contact AHS and Miguel was absolutely right, they wouldn't pay. Miguel and Alexandro were very pleasant, efficient and cleaned up. They had to remove and replace the toilet to get the scissors out which they did. Miguel told me before they began that there would be a flat fee of $225 to remove and replace toilet. What can you do but say go ahead which they did, removing the toilet and taking it outside to work on it (a good idea). When it came time to pay Miguel he said it would be $300 because I had to pay the AHS service fee of $75 (which goes to the contractor not AHS), so again, what are ya' gonna do but pay it even though I'm on a fixed income (I know, Boo Hoo). I may be out of step with current plumbing prices but it kind of threw me to pay that much for about a half hour of work. They were good though, quick and effective and as I said, pleasant. BUT, all in all, I would recommend Bay Plumbing and Miguel, Alexandro and Maria (in the office). I guess a person just has to understand that if you need plumbing related work done it's not going to be inexpensive. UPDATE; As of August 2016 I previously wrote a review of Bay Plumbing and would like to update it and give five stars rather than four. I thought they did a fine job but there was confusion about the price when the plumber said it was a flat rate of $225 but then added (because it was a home warranty issue) an extra fee of $75. I contacted the office, Maria ( I believe) got back to me and Mr. Gonzalez, who I assume is the owner or manager, sent me a check for the $75. Anyway, I was pleased with their work and customer service.“

“They were great! They solved the problem in no time and were just nice people all around. That helps when you feel tragedy is about to strike.“

“This week, Tony and son installed a gas line into my kitchen, for me, a most important job. He scheduled the work within 3 days. Efficient and clean, the job took 3 hours and all I need now is my range to be delivered.Pacific Plumbing has done a variety of work in my home the past 15 years including installing new tubs and granite shower walls in 2 bathrooms, installed new water heater, french doors replacing an original 90" window, demo'd a long, faux planter box and restuccoed exterior wall, hung a new garage side door, and installed exterior lighting. I am happy with each of these jobs and trust Tony's experience and workmanship as a general contractor. He's honest and advises appropriately on best recommendations so I can make the right choices for all my projects.“
