Kevin’s Classic Plumbing

I called three different plumbers, all highly reviewed on Unilocal.Between the three, I needed someone who could come out on Saturday morning. Kevin txt me the morning of, alerting me that he could come out within the hour. A simple bathroom sink clog that would’ve taken me four hours to complete, took Kevin less than 20.
He was professional, informative, and discussed our different options of how to solve our problem. Kevin took the time to walk through our specific plumbing configuration, layout of the the piping behind the walls and how it may affect our issue.
Pricing was competitive. Everyone that I talked to quoted me roughly the same price. All said and done, it really came down to how much my time was worth. I would highly recommend using Kevin again and will refer him to anyone that is looking for great service. Will keep him in mind for our future projects.
Thanks again.

We hired Kevin to help with a pipe that was botched by a landscaper. He came over the same day and fixed it fairly quickly. He is very knowledgable and honest and very reasonably priced. He did a lot of major bathroom work for my sister also and she only has wonderful things to say about him.

Well based on the previous 5 star reviews I hired Kevin for a leaky tub faucet. I even waited 3 days til he was available. I wanted a rough estimate and Kevin said $ 75 plus parts as long as everything went smooth. He needed to change out the cartridge which he had with him but the faucet pieces were corroded and also needed to be replaced. He said he had it all with him for another customer but that it would be $ 80.00. I thought that sounded high so he called to get the price for the cartridge and said it was going to be $ 41 and if he needed to go to Home Depot (about 3 miles away) it would be another $ 25.00 plus the faucet pieces. I’ve never had a plumber do this before so I said I would go get it and put the faucet on myself. He quickly showed me how. It took about 15 min. total for him to do his job. The faucet at HD was $ 12 and cartridge was $ 38. so a total of $ 52 not $ 80 as he had said. When I got back I couldn’t get the faucet on so then drove to Osborn Plumbing Supply who showed me how to put it on correctly. The cartridge there is $ 37.00. When I went back to put the faucet on realized Kevin put the cartridge in backward and hot and cold was reversed. I texted Kevin all of this and how unhappy I was that this took me so much time and that he wanted to charge an additional $ 25 to get a part. He said he had to charge for his time and that he is less than the big plumbing companies. This is not so. A large plumbing company charges retail for parts and has them on their truck and if not doesn’t charge extra to go get it. Osborn Plumbing Supply said they charge $ 95 per hour labor. Kevin did offer to come back to reverse the cartridge and make it right but now I don’t care and will just live with it. Me personally hire these independent guys to save money. I disagree that he is cheaper from my experience and would rather go with a reputable company for the same money and not have to do some of the work myself. The only thing I agree with on the other reviews is yes Kevin is very personable, but this is really not important. It is the work and price for it that matters. I am writing this review so others are not deceived by all the 5 star reviews and don’t wait 3 days for a plumber to come out and not do 5 star work. Oh and he charges 3% more for credit cards.

I reached out to Kevin in a moment of panic. My very handy husband couldn’t figure out our plumbing situation when we were ripping out our kitchen and needed to have the cabinets out today. He came over after all of his other calls were done for the day, despite I’m sure wanting to get home, to help us out with our issue. He was extremely responsive throughout the day while we were chatting about when he could get over, and when he did get there, he did a great job of walking us through what he was doing and why. He was incredibly quick and affordable. We will definitely be using him the next time we need a plumber!

I «discovered» Kevin at least seven years ago. He has always been courteous, prompt and fair and the quality of his work is excellent. Most recently, our garbage disposal was leaking badly from the bottom of the tank. He found out the unit had worked loose over several years and water was getting in from the sink. He removed it, cleaned it up and bolted it back on, saving us the cost a new unit. The next time you need a plumber, I highly recommend Kevin.

Based on prior Unilocal reviews, I called Kevi’s Classic Plumbing today with a minor, but pressing plumbing situation. Kevin himself answered, managed to fit me. In between bigger jobs, and then fixed my problem efficiently, quickly and at a reasonable price. He was awfully nice too. My dog even liked him (which is kind of unusual!) After years of going to larger companies, I will be calling Kevin from now on.

We called Kevin based off the other reviews on Unilocal and couldn’t have been happier. Our renter’s called us later in the day on Saturday and said they were having an issue with water backing up in the toilets. We had another plumber go out to our house and told us he would need to remove the toilet, replace this and that, call another guy to help him do somethings on the roof, etc and it would be at least $ 450 or more.
We got in touch with Kevin and he went over to our house late Saturday (I think it was close to 8:00pm) and fixed the problem for less than $ 200 and instructed our renters (and us) that their flushing of wipes down the toilet was the problem and if they continue to do so it will continue to back up the plumbing. All the while, Kevin kept us (the owners) updated on what he was doing, costs, etc. We couldn’t have been happier and will continue to use Kevin for any plumbing needs. We highly recommend him!

In a word, fabulous. On time, on budget, and just a great guy. Thrilled to have found him. We’re looking to purchase a home needing extensive remodel work and I plan to call Kevin… almost hate to post such a positive review… may be hard to get in his schedule!

Kevin was amazing! He was able to assist me over the phone and diagnose the problem. I will definitely use him again in the future!

I needed a plumber so I called Kevin’s plumbing service to fix a smell in my bathroom, inspect/​fix the house for low water pressure issues, I was having and he also looked at the cost to install a water softener. In addition to that, he checked out a video of my front yard sewer line that a Locating Service had provided me from escrow inspections (recently purchased the house) — Kevin spent almost two hours at my house, walking through the various issues, talking through all of the costs and estimates for the water softener install and even taught me how to do a few things on my own. He explained what he saw in the sewer line video and provided some advice on how best to live and deal with it in the future. Most importantly, Kevin located the problem with the smell in my bathroom (I thought it was the shower drain) but it was from a poorly installed wax ring under my toilet. I cannot tell you how relieved I was that he fixed this problem. Ever had sewer gas seeping into your master bathroom at night? Horrible! He also located a problem with the toilet filler/​flow valve (?) and it was a cheap and easy fix. He walked me through the repairs and explained the «how/​what/​why» of what he was doing. I will definitely be calling Kevin in the future for my plumbing needs because he was honest, friendly, and professional — most importantly he didn’t give me a laundry list of stuff that «needed to be fixed» just to rack up the bill. After having a plumber at the house for over 2 hours, one might expect a $ 200-​$ 300+ bill… NOT EVEN CLOSE! Thanks Kevin!!!

I can’t tell you how relieved we were to find Kevin! We had just been told by The Sunny Plumber that we needed $ 37,000 worth of repairs to our sewer line! Kevin determined that we didn’t even have the problem that Sunny said would cost $ 30,000! Sunny wanted $ 7,000 to dig a 6′ hold to make a repair to the sewer line. That repair ended up being two repairs and two holes probably 8 & 11 feet deep. We had a backhoe digging for about 8 hours and the cost was less than $ 3,000!
Kevin is honest, hard-​working and professional. I wish we had found him years ago!
Thank’s so much, Kevin.

Kevin installed a Water Softener and undersink RO System for me this summer.
His work was efficient, high quality and his service was very friendly.
I don’t anticipate having any plumbing problems, but if I do my first call will be to Kevin.

I’ve had two issues that Kevin has fixed and I have to say that he’s the best plumber I’ve dealt with in the valley. I will now be going to him for all of my plumbing needs. He replaced a backyard hose/​faucet at a relatively minimal cost and explained everything very carefully. In another issue, I had a problem with my garbage disposal and instead of visiting and charging for a visit he told me how to fix the problem easily for free over the phone! That’s the kind of service that warrants high praise. Thank you so much Kevin!

Excellent service. Responsive, professional, very reasonable prices and a real nice guy. I had a need for a weekend repair and got not only good service from a knowledgeable professional but also a good price!

Kevin has been working with us on our water heater and he is always on time, always nice and definitely knows his business. I can’t believe he hasn’t been reviewed. Definitely the nicest «handyman» I have ever met and reasonable in pricing
