This company replaced a water heater for me and did a good job. When the plumber got through he told me that the water softener was not working so he disconnected it. What? I was never consulted. He said I should buy a new one and their company could install it. I did just that, called them when it came in, got the appointment. So a "newbie" comes out from Val's and proceeded to get to work on install.

He was here for hours. Then we go out to garage area w/new water softener and it is flooding the floors. So we unplug it, my husband is draining some water out, cleaning the floors, moving things, etc. My husband calls again. They send Aaron Scott back out. He's working on it again, says something about an overflow and proceeds to work on the softener. He does tell me that he was not familiar with my brand of water softener and that he had never installed one. Needless to say we are not happy with this company. Homeowner Beware!

The install bill was so overwhelming. When they sent the installer back out I received another bill. Ok, so your installer messes up, then I call to let you know and I get another bill? Wow what a company.

Our Water heater cracked a leak on Wednesday called Vals plumbing just because I always see their trucks up and down the Salinas Valley. I was a little bummed out they couldn't get a guy out to me till the following Monday so I rigged the water heater to drain out to a bucket, but I was happy that I waited because once Monday came our plumber Mark arrived right on time gave awesome customer service and changed out our old water heater to a new one and a reasonable price. Highly recommend Vals plumbing.

Val's plumbing is an experienced company that I have called in the past and I will continue to use because they do good work. Their employees are professional and friendly. They are dependable and reasonably priced too.

My pipes were singing! I lost sleep and we were tired. So tired of it that when the plumber came to fix the 3 toilets hubby did not ask him to wear a mask, nor did he offer, or did he have on any shoe covers. We are in a pandemic! I am an RN and of course got upset when I came home from my shift at the hospital to learn that my hubby even let this guy in without a mask and shoe covers and gloves!

My husband to appease me, called the manager, who said, "did you ask him to put a mask on? " isn't an employer supposed to provide PPE for the sake of the employees and the public? Not happy with the company for not respecting the safety of my home!

EXCELLENT SERVICE TODAY! We woke up to no hot water this morning. I called and spoke to a very friendly and helpful David at 7:15. He asked several questions about the problem that shows that he really cared about the situation. He scheduled Chris to do the repair between 12 and 2. Chris showed up at 12:30. First thing he discovered was that my water heater was supposed to be wired at 220 volts, but was actually wired for 120 volts. Switched in about 5 minutes.

He determined the tank needed a new heating element. Because of the condition of the interior of the tank, he warned that there could be a major water spill when changing the element. We discussed the options of buying a new heater vs. continuing with the repair, and he provided quotes for both options. 30 minutes later, he had the new element installed, and he was on his way. Very thankful and appreciative for his professionalism.

I also spoke with Allison in the office, who was very friendly and courteous. I could have found a plumber to do the job for less than the $154 an hour that Val's charges.but as I told Chris, I'm glad that I chose someone who knew what they were doing. WELL DONE, VAL'S PLUMBING!
