A terrific experience. Counter to most contractor's, Robert was and is extremely good at communicating throughout the entire process. I never had to chase down a status report, got pics if something needed to change for practical reasons and everything was done on timer and within the budget. He and his crew have done such a good job, I will probably never need their services again, but if I do, they will be my go to plumber and gas line people!

Response from BOB LARSON PLUMBING
We definitely apologize for the inconvenience. Our plumber got tied up on a previous job, so we rescheduled for the next day. The following day, when he realized he was going to be late again, he left a message with the customers husband, who apparently didn't relate it to the customer. When Wayne finally did call later that evening, to update her on his arrival time, he was informed to cancel the call. We strive to avoid these situations, but hope that our customers recognize that juggling schedules when we don't know exactly what we're walking into for each call, can be very difficult. All we can do is our best. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee perfection.

Bob Larson and his team were great. My remodel was on a tight timeline and dates shifted a few times because of the other contractors involved, and Bob was able to be flexible. The work was performed well, and I haven't had any issues in the five years since.

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.

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.

Fantastic. They came out on two different days, both representatives were polite and professional. Everything was explained fully, including the science behind a septic system and details on how it pertains to my yard. The work was perfect and very quick considering the labor required for the jobs they were doing. I would use this company in the future, and would recommend them to family and friends.

Bob Larson Plumbing has done multiple major jobs at my home from Sprinklers and Kids water fountains to an On demand Water Heater with circulatory pump and a Water Purification System. They stand by their work and put the Customer First. They have many good employees that do quality work. One worker stands out his name was Dennis and he was an absolute master of his trade and made sure to have that attention to detail that some of us OCD types must have perfect. I recommend Bob and his team for all your plumbing needs.

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.

The installer was nice. He complained that bathroom floor was not leveled and this would cause problem with toilet being level. He place shim to potentially create leveling. My toilet is seated lop-sided due to over shimming. I complained but no one followed up to correct this issue.

We explained to this customer repeatedly that we recommended she get the floor repaired. before we installed the toilet, as the floor was 1 1/2" out of level. She insisted that we install it anyway, then later complained about the shimming. We made 2 return trips, and the customer was either unable or unwilling to understand that the problem is with the floor, not our installation. We don't know what else we could have done.
