Excellent service and super fair price. Needed a repair done before buyers would finalize sale of a condo we were selling. Bob Larson plumbing has sled it quickly, and followed up to make sure we were happy with finished result; all at a totally reasonable, if not excellent price, especially for such a last minute and not huge fix. We will totally use them for any other fixes we need done on our home and refer to friends and family.

My extended family always use Bob Larson Plumbing for all non-DYI plumbing projects. The prices are fair and they don't talk you into things you don't need. The staff is friendly and professional. Our recent water heater installation was a little difficult due to the age of the original heater and plumbing. The technicians worked diligently to figure out the problems which, ultimately, required an electrician and came back as soon the electrician had replaced a breaker. Don't hesitate to call Bob Larson Plumbing!

Very supportive and professional without excessive cost. Explained limitations of repair and went out of their way to salvage my bathroom as best as could be done. Excellent job repairing the washer faucet and even installed a separate shut off valve in both bathroom and laundry room in the original price quote. Will always recommend.

Response from BOB LARSON PLUMBING
Most homeowners don’t have a lot of experience with having to hire home repair service providers so they are not sure how to evaluate them other than by price. But the lowest price can be the least important part of what you get when you hire a professional, licensed, permitted, certified, drug-tested, criminal-free, bonded and insured service provider with the proper tools, training, and technology to do the right things right the first time and guarantee their work. Our first job as a local expert for the last 25 years (and for a long time to come), is to be reliable and fair. We do this by giving you good information so you can make smart choices as to what’s best for your family, your home and your bank account for the long term. While we may not be the cheapest plumbers around, and are far from the most expensive, our customers tell us we are the most consistent, most reliable and offer the best value for your dollar. What most homeowners don’t take into consideration is a good company does not sell service like a commodity, where one hour of our time is exactly equivalent to one hour of the butt crack plumber from Craig's List, or any other comparison. We dedicate time every morning for training to stay on top of our game, and we provide insurance and bonding to protect our customers, not to mention the myriad of other costs it requires to just stay in business in this heavily regulated and litigious society. Many of our competitors take short cuts in these areas, so we can't compete with them in price, we compete in competence, honesty and integrity. There are other companies that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars per year on advertising, and they are typically much more expensive than we are. The bottom line is, if price is your primary concern, we're probably not your best choice. If you want a plumber that you can rely on to do what we say today, and 10 years from now, 98% of the reviewers on Angie’s List, Google and Consumer Checkbook recommend us.
