I thought I'd have no trouble changing four angle stops myself and started early Friday afternoon. These were compression fittings, and the second one was very difficult to remove. By then I had the water off to the whole house and couldn't turn it back on until I replaced the angle stops, so I called my usual plumber. Unfortunately, he was out of town and would not be back until Monday, so I called Black Mountain Plumbing based on Angie's List recommendations. They were very helpful on the phone. They gave me a price for the work and said they would send someone out. I told them I would keep trying myself and call them if I had success. Not too long afterwards, I did manage to get that angle stop off, so I called them back and cancelled. They were very nice about it. Of course, the last angle stop was even harder to remove, and by then it was pretty late on Friday. When I called them back this time, it was no problem for them (and they didn't even make any comments about my having to call them a second time!). They got someone out very quickly. I was glad I called, as it was even difficult for the plumber to remove it. He had to cut it off. He replaced all four angle stops. The price would have been the same if I had called them before removing three of the four angle stops, so next time I'll consider having a professional do the complete job! He had everything he needed on his truck, so that also saved me the time and cost of going to buy parts. They credited the Angie's List coupon I had printed out without any problem. I would not hesitate to use Black Mountain Plumbing again.

Very impressed! Professional, detailed, not expensive (compared to the competition), and great cleanup after the work was done! The "two guys" team was very courteous. In fact, they are the best plumbers we've ever had. We will use them again.

Called them yesterday and they were able to schedule appointment for today.  They called 20 minutes before arrival. Very friendly. had them check a few other things but all that was needed was tightening so valve won't leak when hose is on.Will use them again when I need plumbing.

We used Black Mountain Plumbing a couple months back on what ended up being a costly repair job to our home due to some tree root damage to the pipes. Having an older home, they recommended we camera the plumbing lines and we paid significantly for this service, to the tune of 500+ dollars. The initial job was completed, but much more expensive and time consuming than we were originally quoted.  When it comes to home repair issues these things can happen. We felt that we were paying a higher premium to work with a reputable company based on their reviews and the plumber was courteous and knowledgeable. Flash forward to yesterday, we checked our camera video to help identify a related issue for our ongoing home renovation.  Our general contractor requested to see it and so we pulled it up on the computer.  Imagine our shock and horror when the DVD was completely blank! We tried to open it on another computer hoping it was some kind of glitch but nope - still blank. Our contractor told us he's actually seen this happen to a lot of people with various plumbers through the years. We were furious! After all, we paid a high price tag to get the best service possible. Surely, we figured Black Mountain Plumbing, being a reputable company, would either have stored our DVD on a backup system or they would re-camera the lines for free since this was their mistake.
Well, my husband called today to let Black Mountain Plumbing know of their error and request support. My husband was dismissed and told by their service person that, "Sometimes it doesn't get transferred to the disc properly, sorry." My husband then asked them to come out and re-camera the lines because this was already a service we paid substantially for and need the documentation for renovation and re-sale purposes. He was told a manager would need to be called and we would get a call back. Later in the day, the same service person called back and told my husband per management they will not re-camera for free and they would charge us full price. Then, he proceeded to blame us for their mistake claiming we "probably demagnetized the disc." Seriously?!! Obviously we kept the disc safe in its protective cover. So, basically they tried to deflect ownership of their error by putting all the blame on us. My husband assured the service worker the disc was stored in a safe manner. The service workers just shrugged him off and offered nothing in the form of remediation.  In short, the company took no accountability for their mistake, blamed us, and have refused to rectify their error.  As it stands now, we will contact Black Mountain Plumbing again, request to speak to a manager and try to get this mess sorted out. Update to follow. Word of advice: If you get your plumbing lines camera'd by any plumber just make sure to watch that DVD the very same day so you don't end up with a blank $500 DVD!

"OOPS....Ya I didn't get the info correctly on this yesterday, or i misunderstood. I was under the impression the DVD got deleted or went bad, but if it was never written on by the video equipment thats very different, I will have someone come out and re camera for you. Scott"

Their bid was a little higher than the other 2 we received, however after I contacted them they gave us a discount that brought them in line with the other bids.  They were very easy to work with and they even checked all the other pumps and found another one that needed replaced.  We are going to have them replace that one also.  We also used them to locate a leak in one of the units. 
We are very happy with their service and find them much better to work with than our other plumbing company.

"Good morning, I just cut and paste your name and searched my e-mail and spam folder.......no e-mail ever came to my e-mail [email protected] . Likewise I have never received a message from you, we are a for profit business, I (we) would love to provide you with service. With the internet it is quite possible others are trying to capture your work using BMP as a front and the e-mail or phone number you found is not ours. Just in case our phone number is 858-536-4161, we answer that number 7/24. I hope you have a blessed day, Scott"

They were really helpful and knowledgeable when I was calling around to find a plumber to install our hot water heater.  They answered all my questions and provided lots of good and helpful information.  As a woman it meant a lot that they didn't treat me like an idiot.  Once work was performed the technician was on time and finished the work quickly.  We couldn't be more happy with the pricing and the service.  We will definitely use Black Mountain Plumbing in the future.  
Sorry I can't be more specific with my details, but its been a few months since the service was performed! But they definitely get a thumbs up from my husband and I.

"Hello. It's probably not as easy as it looks. There are several sizes of hose bibbs, male and female threads. You would have to either know for sure the correct size or take it with you to the plumbing supply house. Also, there is a correct way and an incorrect way to shut down and energize a potable water system. Done incorrectly, problems can occur. Also, many times what appears to be a threaded or screwed together connection is in fact not. Instead it is a soldered connection that appears you could remove with two wrenches. Every week we get a phone call from a customer that tried to remove a hose bibb that was soldered by trying to unscrew it or that was screwed together and didn't back up with a second wrench. This causes the pipe to twist in the wall and we then have to open the stucco or drywall to repair. What appears to be simple and easy is how well and fast our guys work. Thank you for calling us! Scott"
