Our verdict

WE'D LOOK ELSEWHERE

Fast emergency response and skilled technicians, but pricing disputes and lack of written quotes create serious payment shock risk.

What reviewers report — the concerns

Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.

Red flag

Verbal-only quotes with no confirmation mechanism create high risk of price disputes: 1 of 5 reviews documents a $500 surprise charge with company claiming customer misheard, despite customer's repeated clarification attempts

Quoted $1040, told at payment it was $1540, would not honor the quote
P W · ★★★★ · Google · Apr 2026 pricing

Red flag

Severe customer service failure under dispute: company removed customer's newly installed equipment and abandoned it rather than resolve billing disagreement, then disputed customer's account of phone conversation

Quoted $1040, told at payment it was $1540, would not honor the quote
P W · ★★★★ · Google · Apr 2026 pricing

Significant pricing discrepancy between verbal quote and final bill: one reviewer quoted $1,040 but charged $1,540 (48% increase), with company refusing to honor initial quote

Quoted $1040, told at payment it was $1540, would not honor the quote
P W · ★★★★ · Google · Apr 2026 pricing

No written quotes provided and pricing not discussed upfront before work: reviewer explicitly states 'No written quote was offered' and 'he did not discuss the price before doing the work'

Quoted $1040, told at payment it was $1540, would not honor the quote
P W · ★★★★ · Google · Apr 2026 pricing

Poor dispute resolution and lack of customer accountability: after pricing disagreement, company removed newly installed heater and left old unit in customer's garden rather than resolving conflict

Keep it in proportion: these concerns are cited in 1 of the 5 reviews we analyzed. Most reviewers report positive experiences — see the full rating picture below.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words

Critical

I’ve had Bobby’s plumbing do work for me multiple times over the last 20 years. Last time was 2016 to replace this heater for $875. This time we ran into a major issue. I was quoted $1040 to install a new hot water heater. Work was done promptly but when I came to pay, I was told that it was $1540. Failure on my part was to get a written quote. But they would not honor the quote. Their supervisor stated they …

Positive

Jason arrived even a bit early (great) especially since my water heater required replacing and Bobby’s responded same day (also great). Great work, pleasant person but pricey. Would call them again.
Peter Seavor · ★★★★ · Google · Apr 2026
It is my pleasure to comment on the repair performed by your technician yesterday at my home. Your technician arrived on time and immediately began work on replacing the circulating pump on my hot water heater that failed after several years of service. I was impressed with a) the efficiency of your tech's diagnosis of the problem and b) his technical knowledge of what needed to be done to replace the part quickly …

How this page is made. We read and synthesize published customer reviews from Google, Yelp and the BBB, then publish our honest opinion — including the negative reviews other directories bury. We do notcall, test, or inspect plumbers, and we don't check licenses unless a source is stated. Business facts come from the plumber's Google listing. Sponsored placement exists only on city list pages, is always labeled, and never changes an assessment or ranking — this profile is never pay-influenced. Every quote is reproduced verbatim from a public review and attributed; we choose which quotes to feature, and that selection is our editorial judgment.
