Working with Stark Plumbing was a great experience, from start to finish, converting an older two handle shower to a new single handle valve. Colleen helped me work through a lot of the details, and scheduling. Colby, the plumber tech, did a great job, helping through the usual issues we found when opening it up. I'll definitely call them again for any future plumbing needs.
What a great experience from start to finish with Stark! From the quick and polite response to our service request, to the friendly and competent service provider, to the fair pricing, we could not have been more pleased.
I would give even more than 5 stars if I could. I chose to replace the original (75 gallon) water heater in my house because it was almost 20 years old and showing symptoms of being at the end of its life. Stark excelled at what I value most: clear and conscientious communication, both from Colleen at the office and Colby when he visited my home to explain what he saw and educated me about hot water heaters. Kindness in their approach. Being there when they said they would. A competitive bid, made even sweeter when they didn't charge me for a base pan which came in slightly dented from their supplier. After I received their bid, I did get another bid. For that one, they didn't visit my home, but asked for photos of everything. While that's understandable, that firm also took several weeks to send me a bid which was slightly higher than Stark's. So yes, Stark Plumbing has earned my loyalty and confidence. They are good people!
Colby did a great job installing a tankless water heater, utility sink, bathtub plumbing and bathroom sink plumbing. He knows his stuff and spent the time to make sure that all was working well. In installing the Utility Sink, access through the crawl space for the sink drain and water feeds proved to be troublesome. He spent the time to get the feeds up through the floor and all is working well. I recommend Stark Plumbing for your next project!
Colleen was amazing, I had a water leak and everyone at Stark Plumbing treated me great! I have 2 young kids and my house was distorted and there professionalism when they came to my home was just the best!! Thank you Stark Plumbing your whole team ROCKS! Colby did a great job! Go mountain view cougars!
