  Poorly. Technicians did unnecessary work and took other actions that caused damage to the gas system that needed to be corrected by another company. Either the technicians were not qualified or they were intentionally creating work for themselves. First, they cut an active secondary line in the curb box that was connected to our office in the back thereby cutting off all gas to that area of the property. My wife asked Santiago if there was anyway to reconnect the secondary line. He looked her straight in the eye and said "no". The only way to resolve the problem was to run a new gas line from the curb box to the office in the back (a distance of about 100'), presumably costing thousands of dollars. In truth, it could be, and was, reconnected at the curb box by the second company for $399. Next, the technicians cut through the fireplace brick to cap the fireplace gas line. We were later advised that the capping could have been done from the inside without cutting any brick. The technicians then went under the house and removed tape that was wrapped around a pipe which resulted in gas leaking into the interior of the house which was not a problem before they came. The technicians were here all day and never discovered another leak. The second company was able to identify the problems created by Ford and restore the heat, hot water and eliminate the interior gas leak. They also restored the gas to the office in the bacshow more

  While I was painting behind my stove I bent down next to the gas line and actually felt air blowing from a hole in the line onto my cheek--but the air was natural gas. I knew I had smelled some gas, but I kept assuming it was the pilot light. Nope, it was a huge leak in the gas line. No wonder I felt light-headed. I called So Cal Gas to come check it out and their tech replaced the line, but when he tested the pressure on the gas line in the whole house there was still a significant leak. Yikes. The gas company shut off the gas to the entire house, so no cooking, no hot water for showers or laundry. I called another different plumbing company who charged $99 to do an initial visit--wherein they wanted me to sign paperwork for a $600 test of the gas line--but on the first visit they didn't do any work, so I would need to schedule another appointment for a few days later for the gas line test. More cold showers for me. I was informed that if they would cap all of the appliances, then if the line was still leaking, all the horizontal lines would need to be replaced which would be about $9,000, then if that didn't work, all the vertical lines would be replaced for about another $2,000. So upwards of $11k. I asked around and everyone told me they thought that was too high, so I started looking and I found good reviews on Angi for Andy Castillo Plumbing. Their technician, Gus, came out the next day, and immediately went to work. Their gas line test was about $300--so HALF what the other company was charging, and there was no $99 initial visit fee. Gus replaced all five of the interior gas lines and old valves to see if that would hold pressure (and to bring the lines up to code, which they definitely were not). IT WORKED!! Instead of spending $11,000, the entire job cost about $900. Gus checked the line for pressure multiple times to make sure it was holding, then he did it again in front of me, so I could see that it had been repaired. When the gas company inspectors came, they said the line was solid, and they restored my gas!! The entire time Gus was there, he explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it, in clear terms. When I asked him how much it might be if he needed to replace all the gas lines (if the pressure didn't hold), he told me it would be around $3,000--which is almost A QUARTER of what the other company would have charged for the same service. My old plumber retired and I've been looking for someone reliable, honest and skilled to do periodic work on my 110 year old house--and now I found him. Gus is amazing, this company has honest, kind, clear, skilled plumbers, and they are now my new plumbers! (and there have been about four other companies I tried before them for other plumbing jobs, so I don't say that lightly.show more

  Coast View was extremely prompt and professional with their response time and, although they were not able to address my issue, immediately directed me to a local business that could. I would absolutely reach out to Coast View again when needed.

  Orange Coast Plumbing did a great job. Taylor diagnosed the problem and gave us the option to replace or repair it. Taylor presented the pros and cons of each option. Since it was 12 years old we decided to replace it. We also asked about replacing it with a tankless water heater, but she advised us that the tankless water heater would not be a good option because we have galvanized pipes. The tankless water heater would be a lot more money so we were impressed and thankful that Taylor advised against the more expensive tankless even though she could have sold that to us and we would have never known about the incompatibility with galvanized pipes. The new water heater works great. Taylor replumbed everything and even fixed a plumbing mistake the last plumber made. Taylor took away the old water heater and even swept the garage out when she was done...nice and tidy. I would hire Orange Coast Plumbing and Taylor againshow more

  THIS IS THE COMPANY YOU WANT TO HIRE. In 2021, we hired a company to design and build an outdoor kitchen, which included the remodeling of a carport and construction of a concrete area for a fire pit. It required two gas lines, water, electrical, tile work, wall veneer, and the installation of a grill, a fridge, and an icemaker. They did the initial designs and everything that followed was a disaster – they were slow, and sometimes altogether unresponsive. We broke ties with them in 2022 and found Greenworks. The difference was night and day. We called Greenworks on a Thursday, and they came to our home that Saturday. Tal was amazing. He clearly knew what he was doing and had lots of ideas that improved upon our initial designs. He created a text chain that included my husband and me, and asked us to text him anytime with questions. (And when we did, he responded right away.) Within days we had an estimate, which was very reasonable. We hired them and they started a week later. Our onsite project manager was Enrique, who is a total pro. Here’s the thing to know – this company moves fast! All of the delays you hear about with construction and contractors in Los Angeles does not apply to Greenworks. Their team showed up every business day like clockwork, and each day we saw significant progress. When we made a few additional requests that were not part of the original plan, they were very flexible and did not charge us more. And they have some real talent – the guy who created our custom granite BBQ countertop is an artist, and the work is beautiful. Bottom line, we are very happy with the work and would not hesitate to hire them againshow more

  Moving into a new but rather badly maintained house we discovered serious problems with old, clogged and leaky waste water lines in the crawl space with no cleanouts available to get into them. The guys from Ford's plumbing replaced the lines and installed a new cleanout for future service for a fair price. The quality of their work was impeccable. Towards the end of that project we discovered a massive gas leak and asked them to tackle that job as well. This lead to the fixing of about a dozen additional minor leaks along the ageing lines as well as the re-routing of of some lines using nothing but existing parts to save on costs through what I can only describe as more artistry than craft. It was amazing to watch them put that complex piping back together. For any future plumbing needs these guys will certainly be at the top of our listshow more

  Riley and Ford's guys were terrific. They did the work thoroughly and quickly and finished on time. Everything passed inspection with the gas company and was well done. A very nice crew who worked hard.

  Other plumbers passed on this job saying it was too complicated or they could not fix it. Ford's Plumbing, specifically Reilly and his team, were very positive and were able to find a creative solution to a complex problem. I wish I had found Ford's Plumbing earlier! Rather than rushing into a patchwork fix that would not have been aesthetically pleasing, Reilly & Team spent a lot of time upfront to come up with a plan that other plumbers had told me was not possible. They flawlessly executed the plan and my fireplace is now back in business just in time for winter! Not only was the gas line replaced and the leak fixed, but they always showed up on time (if my arrival window was 8am-10am, they would always be in the early portion of the range), everyone in the crew was very pleasant and courteous and they kept their workspace extremely tidy doing a great job of post-job cleanup. I would recommend Ford's Plumbing to anyone and they are now my go-to plumber for all needs that come up. I am so grateful to have found a reliable team that I can trust to come through in a pinchshow more
