I am very with James R. Griego Plumbing, they were on on time, their work was done fast and they made the job look very easy. The best part was when they were getting ready to leave the cleaned up after themselves. I would certainly recommend James R. Griego Plumbing again.

While the hot water install was rather difficult & James left the new heater functional, he took several easily avoided shortcuts that ultimately compromised the new hot water heater and resulted in a complete re-installation by another plumber a few weeks later.

The price was higher were higher because of parts. They should have call me to tell me. But it the end it was fair. They seem to do a very good. And everything works great. I was at work when they did the job and they let me send the payment to them. Which was very nice.
Over all they did a very good job and I would use them again.

Mr. Griego arrived on time with the necessary materials and provided information on the job specifications. He was courtious, neat and completed the water heater installation, and repaird the venting system within 3-4 hours. He cleaned up after the job was complete and was available for followup calls after the installation. The price was right for the job. I would recommend him for future jobs.

He returned my call promptly, was on time, picked up a new garbage disposal and cord, was courteous, pleasant and clearly qualified. It took extra time due to condition of old disposal and he had to saw it out. He did NOT charge more than quote. Excellent service.
Thank you Red Beacon!

James returned my Red Beacon request immediately on Saturday morning and soon scheduled the appointment as we requested. He showed up on time and fixed my broken cartridge and shower handle professionally. Oh, boy, it was indeed a tough job because I tried very hard to solve the problem a day before. :-) Even though the replacement was done, he insisted to ensure I will get both hot and cold water before completing his job. We are very happy to have him fix our problem.

Arrived on time and picked up our two toilets at the local store as part of their service, which was great for us. There were a couple of other minor issues discovered in the process of the replacement, but they explained them thoroughly, showed me the problems, and were very reasonable in adding a small additional fee to fix these issues on the spot. The work they did was excellent and detailed. They left the place all cleaned up. Would call them again if needed!

Was about 4 hrs late to appointment, but did a good job once here. There was some confusion about whether parts were included in bid, but that was more the fault of the red beacon format than the contractor. Overall, price was very fair.

Richard was prompt and knowledgeable. He picked up and delivered my new toilets and removed and disposed of the old ones, as part of his service. When unanticipated challenges arose during installation of the toilet in my master bathroom, he was conscientious in solving the problems and returned the next day - on a Sunday - to complete installation and ensure I had both bathrooms up and functional. Although he didn't ask for more than his initial bid for the job, I voluntarily increased the amount he was paid, in recognition of the extra effort.

This was for fixing a leaking kitchen sink. The plumber came on time, and did the job as expected. He cleaned up after completing the job and waited while we filled up the sink to pressure test it. He also mentioned while leaving that his work comes with a 30-day warranty. Very happy with the work.

Prompt, knowledgeable, has worked for Public Gas Company, job well done. Also very reasonable price. I underestimated the linear footage, so I agreed prior to appointment to a small increase in the quote. No additional labor cost, just for additional length of pipe.

We agreed that I was going to pay 150.00 including the parts (shut off valve). They came (he and his wife?) and saw they needed it a larger part than the size I had told them over the phone, and left to get another one. While watching the guy do the job, he did not look to professional. Any way, after almost two hours he replaced the valve. When it was time to pay, they said that instead of $150.00, I was going to pay $200.00 because they went back to replace the part, and the part was more expensive.

He was so amazing. I could tell immediately that he was knowledgeable, and more important, wasn't going to rip me off. He had a great sense of humor and explained what he was doing every step of the way. I will NEVER use a big company (e.g. Rooter Rooter again) and will always use him in the future. So great

Glad I didn't go with the $200. bids. Mr. Griego was in and out in about 10 minutes. Fixed the offending pipe and no leaks have occurred since. He was friendly and on time.
The Redbeacon service was very prompt. I appreciated that since the leak was a problem when working in the kitchen. Gwen Swenson

I way underestimated the length of pipe needed to do this job. Once he arrived he measured the distance and went to Home Depot and returned with the needed supplies.
He and his wife/assistant were very friendly, professional and worked quickly. I would definitely use their services again. I am very pleased.

Mr. Griego arrived on time and went right to work. He was both friendly and competant. I would use his services again. A very pleasant experience.
He installed a water line from my kitchen sink to the ice maker in my fridge which is located on an island in my kitchen. This required him to go under my house to run the line. Great job accomplished.

Fast and great! The job was harder than expected, they had to go to the hardware store and replace more parts than I had asked. They also repaired a toilet handle for me which wasn't in the original request. And still they only charged $100 for labor, plus $20 for the extra parts. I'll definitely call them again when the next pipe breaks in this ramshackle house.

Well, that was easy! I posted to Redbeacon, and 3 vendors gave me quotes to replace the leaky hot water valve that's connected to my washing machine. James R. Griego Plumbing (Richard) gave me the lowest bid of $75. I actually picked him because he sounded like he wanted the job, and he had some good reviews. His wife, Nancy, called me and made the appointment. She was very nice and flexible about scheduling. Nancy works as Richard's helper on some of the jobs. The duo arrived at my house a little early- I wasn't home yet, so they waited patiently. I told them that coincidentally, my toilet was horribly clogged, and that I'd like them to fix it. I'd been trying to plunge it since yesterday with no success.
Once they got into the house, Richard quickly replaced the valve. He then fixed my toilet in a few minutes. Nancy assisted him by chatting with me, and cuddling my ten year old dachshund, Rosie. Then Richard gave me a much-needed plunger lesson. And to top off the experience, he also took me outside to show me how to get to the water turnoff under the sidewalk, and what tool to use to turn off the water.
R&N had bid $75 for the job, and I had bought a $30 voucher which got me $100 worth of service. They accepted the voucher in payment of the valve replacement and also unclogging the toilet.
The verdict? Pleasant, competent, on-time, and affordable. Plus my dog got a lot of attention. I highly recommend them.

very quick service, job done right.
I made appointment with Mr. Griego. He showed up on time and had all the necessary tools to remove and replace my leaking faucet.I paid as agreed,there were no cost overruns
Would use him again and recommend his services.
This was my first time using Redbeacon and I am highly satisfied.

They were on time for the appointment and figured out how to do the job quickly. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I had a separate issue that wasn't plumbing related, but they offered to help me with it at no extra charge. I was very happy and satisfied with their wok. Price is very reasonable. I will use them again in the future - for sure!

They're nice people, and they showed up on time. The job took much longer than expected because of some structural issues where the faucet is mounted.
In the end, the work was completed, and even with additional expense related to RO connection, the price was very reasonable.
In terms of proficiency and competence, they're mediocre. For jobs that require more sophisticated techniques and skills, I'd probably go with someone else.

Nice people, on time and work hard. They fixed my original problem which was the loosen faucet but they created another issue which made my water flow slower. So they were nice to come back second time and try to fix the water flow but Richard couldn't fix that one, instead it created a 3rd issue which is water dripping from the faucet. He said I will need to get a new faucet because there may be parts broken in there that causes the leak. Given that the leak wasn't there to begin with, I belief it's due to the "tighten up the faucet fix". Overall, Fee was very reasonable given the time spent but they weren't able to completely fix my problem.

He was on time and did the job OK. At least he didn't rob for his service. The other quotes were way overboard on their prices. Guess the other quotes were from people that were not on pure air.

Nice people unfortunately they could not repair the tub faucet leak - cap on diverter would not come off despite multiple attempts. As they were concerned about damaging the fixture, they stopped working on this. For bar sink, they ran out to get part - valve - (tried multiple places which I appreciate) to address dripping bar faucet. Unfortunately this did not completely eliminate "drip" -- looks like other valve also needs to be replaced but as it had already been over 2hrs, I needed to leave for another commitment. Fee was reasonable for time spent but ultimately leaks were not fixed

They did a great job. There was a slight issue with the elbow joint that came with the softener. They had to go to Home Depot twice to get the right joint to get it to work. In the end, they got everything hooked up and patched up the wall.
