The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“If mediocre or "good enough" is what you're looking for, then these guys are right for you. They replaced the PRV with the cheapest type available and installed some pex pipe where a decent plumber would've used copper. Not impressed.”
“Hey! If you're gonna force someone out of their lane because you don't feel like head checking, at least do it in an area of the freeway where the cars aren't all bunched together and the person you're pretending doesn't exist won't be in danger of a severe accident trying to get out of your way. Additionally, a small wave of apology for the danger you put someone in because you can't be bothered to drive with care …”
“BEWARE! Be sure to get everything in writing or you might get the bate and switch I got. I have two water heaters in my home. One of them went out. I called for a bid to replace the one Rheem Energy Star water heater. I told Hyrum that I needed a price for a comparable water heater. He gave me the price for a regular, high efficiency and energy star. Then he told me that if I would replace both water heaters …”
Positive
“If a water heater is going to go out it will be on the weekend. Thank goodness that BeeHive Plumbing has technicians available. Comfort Solutions referred us to them when we called them and we were so happy. They gave us a window they would be here, then showed up in that window, found what they needed to for our Hot Water Heater and replaced it all the same day. They cared about not doing any damage to carpet …”
“Jacob was awesome!! Super friendly and informative. I also want to note how efficient he was. Found the issue and solved it with speed and quality. Great customer service! Overall very happy!”

The rating picture
Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.
Newest review in our sample: Mar 2026.
Across platforms
Significant gap: Google 4.8/5 (2,251 reviews) vs. Yelp 3.3/5 (58 reviews). Yelp shows repeated patterns of overcharging, no-shows, and diagnostic issues absent from Google sample. BBB's A+ with only 4 complaints in 3 years suggests either excellent recovery or selective complainant filtering.
