Review and analyze now for company CK Plumbing and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''Highly recommended! For reference, the faucet under ny shower is leaking and the faucet in my sink does not have enough pressure. So I took pics and videos and got quotes fr multiple companies.
One of those who responded quickly was Mr. Tai.
He came to ny house right on time, checked the issues, and even bought for me the required materials from the shop. He came back and finished the job in a short amount of time! I was so impressed w his professionalism, friendliness, punctuality, and the aura that I know he will not cheat on his clients! Also, he quoted me less than I expected.
I am a new client and will be his forever client. FYI- I am not paid to post this review.
Mr. Tai and his company deserve more than 5-star reviews and recognition! TY Mr Tai.
We met Tai when he came out to give me a bid for repiping our house. Shortly after, we had some issues with our kitchen sink and needed some new pipes.
I reached out to a bunch of plumbers, Tai included and Tai was super responsive and quick. He was able to come out the next day with all the materials and helped us install new pipes.
Tai also pointed out that our sink drain was rusted and it should be replaced. We told him to proceed so he went out, got the parts and came right back to install it for us.
We also had a leak due to previous plumber installing a pipe that was too short and he went ahead and swapped that out for us for a longer one so the leak won't happen again. So far, we've been extremely pleased with Tai's prices and workmanship.
I recommend him for all your plumbing needs. We are looking forward to working with him for repiping our house.
TERRIBLE! I never give reviews unless they are stellar or absolutely one to avoid. TAI WAS SO BAD.
He doesn't know how to replace carbon media in a whole house water filter tank; either that or he is just lazy. He did not use all the carbon media that I bought (he said it wasn't necessary).
He used a wet vac to remove the old carbon media instead of washing out the tank. He did not let the new media settle (I found out you need to let it soak for 2 days...he said I could use my water right away).
I spent the last week with cloudy bad tasting water and SEVERE STOMACH PROBLEMS. I called him and he said it must be the media.
I contacted another plumber who is replacing it the RIGHT WAY (which takes at least 2-3 days). Tai was also rude the entire time...I should have seen the red flags.
He went rummaging in my garage looking for a hose without asking. He asked for a wrench (what plumber would do that!).
He asked for an old towel to clean things up...I only had a bath towel which he CUT UP without asking. He laughed it off saying I wouldn't have been able to use it anyways because it would get dirty.
Not only that, he said he would text me the receipt. I had to bug him for two days for a receipt.
Again, red flag...he should have been able to give me a hardcopy receipt right away (that I would have to sign). DON'T USE HIM TO DEAL WITH WATER SOFTENER/FILTER ISSUES! NEVER AGAIN! Great service! Tai was prompt both on messaging and keeping the appointment.
He was sharp on identify the issue and proceeded to fix the task within a few hours. Thank you so much for the great job.
My parents' water heater broke on Sunday, and I immediately contacted CK plumbing. I've used Tai a few times already, and I was always very happy with his work.
Even though CK plumbing is closed on the weekends, Tai was very responsive. I was able to schedule an appointment for Monday morning.
Tai arrived early and saw the water heater was definitely broken. He left to get a new one and quickly replaced the water heater.
My parents are extremely happy with the service. Tai is an honest plumber that also deals with water heater.
His pricing is affordable. I've already recommended CK plumbing to my friends.
Everything went well! Tai is prompt, and does excellent work. Very knowledgeable at diagnosing the issues and advising you.
He does his best at scheduling you into his day, if it's an emergency he's quite sympathetic in squeezing you into his day. I highly recommend Tai, a very congenial guy who is quite easy to work with makes an unpleasant situation (plumbing problems) easier to tolerate.
I called tai on friday as the shower had a major clog. he did a great job using the auger to unclog the drain Thank you so much for doing a great job.
You have been my go to plumber now for many things and I will for sure keep using you! Worth every penny! Had a great experience with the service that Thai and his team provided. Very experienced and diagnosed and helped fix the water leak issue right away.
Will be the people I contact for issues from now on. I've used Tai several times in the past at a couple properties, and he has always been VERY responsive and timely.
Yesterday, my mother's water heater failed. She called her usual company, and they couldn't come out for another 2 days...and 2 days without hot water sucks.
So, I called Tai for her, and within 3 hours she had a new water heater installed, and for cheaper than they other guys. She loved Tai, and so do I.
Also, I won't get into the details of my mistake, but let me tell you, Tai is truly honest and a man of great character. I had a leaky toilet and Kai came over to take a look.
He gave me an honest assessment of the problem and asked me to replace the toilet rather than replace it. He also recommended models I should consider.
While I didn't hire Kai for the job since I had an install deal with the new toilet purchase, I was impressed with how prompt and honest he was. got our water heater replaced.
they were quick in response and service.also best quote we had Tai and his brother did a very excellent job of installing my kitchen faucet and fixing the leak from the hot water line by removing and replaced the water valve. He also removed the other old kitchen faucet accessories to make room and space under my kitchen sink.
He is very responsive very quickly to my initial inquiry and keep following up for the appointment scheduling to come to do the job. I would very much recommend him and his team to others for his professional, courtesy service and a very quite reasonable service cost.
I will be sure to contact him later on for other plumbing service or installation. We struck gold with CK Plumbing! After finding out our go-to guy didn't do sink replacements, I used Yelp projects to find someone in the area who could take care of this massive job--replace 20+ year old kitchen and bathroom sink fixtures (5 of them), and replace a garbage disposal.
CK was one of the guys who answered promptly and was very straightforward with a quote and forthcoming with other details and information. He and his team were able to get over to my parents' home in 2 days time.
They worked quickly and efficiently, but boy it was a big job! They definitely earn their money. The end results were beautiful, and so far so good; no complaints.
We don't have to worry much anyway because there's a 12 month warranty on their work. Really happy with their service and easy communication.
Will use again if we have to! When the company we called did not come out, we reached out to CK Plumbing, and they did a fantastic job. The plumbing company to steer clear from is called Rooter Heroes.
They will give you a time of arrival and not show up. CK Plumbing is exemplary in their professionalism and plumbing.
Tai did a phenomenal job fixing our shower handle today. It required a specific cartridge from an old model which he searched across multiple stores for to find.
Neither of them had it in stock, but luckily his friend had one left and was able to install it same day. Super quick fix and very respectful - even took his shoes off as we have an infant and try to keep our house very clean.
Thank you Tai, will definitely be calling you for any future work! Responded promptly on a need to get 2 faucets installed. Scheduled quickly.
Did a great job. Worked with us on getting a different faucet as one we provided turned out to have missing parts.
My Kohler toilet was constantly running even though I would consistently change the flush valve seals. I decided to look for a local ( San Jose area) Plumbers on Yelp to fix this issue and chose CK Plumbing based on their 5 star average rating and local proximity to my home.
The Yelp quote system also requested quotes from 4 other area plumbers. Tai of CK Plumbing (owner) was the first to respond and we set an appointment for the following day (today).
He arrived at my house early and was ready to go! Last night, I went to Lowes and picked up the parts I thought I needed because I know some plumbers have a tendency to upcharge customers on parts. I was pleased when Tai allowed us to use my Lowes parts and after diagnosing the toilet problem, he replaced the tank fill valve and the angle stop (shut off valve) on wall.
He also replaced a front yard water faucet that had a cut off hose with stripped threads that I couldn't take off despite using WD40and Liquid Wrench. All for a very affordable fee! It appears we have a new lumber! I highly recommend Tai and CK Plumbing.
He is fast, affordable and very polite! I had business with Tai before and I was satisfied. Today he replaced cartridges for hot and cold water faucets in my bathroom.
Tai accommodated my schedule and was able to come and work on Saturday even though usually it is his day off. He was professional, did the job fast and quoted reasonable price.
I highly recommend Tai. We've used CK Plumbing on several occasions and have never been disappointed with the service.
I would highly recommend them. Tai is great! We asked him to fix our plumbing problem more than five times.
He fixed broken pipe in the back yard and fixed leaking in the kitchen. He always answered my phone call and came on time.
He is very friendly.Highly recommend!Thank you Tai! Tai has done work on my home, both inside and outside, for many years now. His work is excellent and his prices are reasonable.
He always makes sure that I test whatever he has done, to make sure that I understand what I am doing once he leaves, and to ensure that I am pleased with his work. I like the fact that he does not contract out for jobs, so I know who I am dealing with from the get-go.
If someone is with him, then I know it's a family member, and I can trust them. Most times when the work is being done, I am here by myself.
I have always felt comfortable knowing that everything (me, my belongings, my animals) are safe. So, if I had to sum up CK Plumbing in two words, it would be excellence and trustworthiness.
Excellent work, to the one who fixed my pipe. But....
Don't leave the guy who stands around out of your sight. Never has anything gone missing from my home.
My phone vanished on the day they came. The guy went into my home without knocking, I had went to check on my grandbaby in the bedroom, when I heard someone in my front room.
I had just used my phone and left on table, when they finished the work, it was gone. I have ring on my door, no one else entered my house but the second guy that doesn't do the work.
I hope that he can be honest enough to return it. I had a kitchen sink drain problem that I couldn't fix myself so I looked around yelp and decided to give Tai a try.
I called him and he was quick to respond and gave me same day service with a reasonable quote. Tai was very nice, respectful and professional when he arrived at my house.
We thought it was a simple drain issue that could be resolved with a machine auger but the problem didn't go away at first. With his many years of experience, he was able to detect the bigger issue and fix it as soon as he could.
He also provided great tips on how to prevent this issue to occur again. I am very happy with the excellent service that Tai provided and will continue to reach out to him for any plumbing needs.
had an appointment today from 9-10 never texted, never called or showed up. Emptied under sink so he can work freely now have to put everything back.
I had other things to do now I am behind waiting on him to show up. Tai did a great job installing faucets and a water filtration system.
He stayed till it worked. His rate is reasonable.
I needed work done on a bathroom faucet and garage faucet. I contacted several from Yelp recommendations but Tai was the only one who promptly arranged when he could go and inspect the work needed.
That was a great first impression. He let me know what he recommended and then later, actual work was really promptly finished.
Very nice to give suggestions to help prevent damage. I find his fee is also reasonable considering inflation right now.
I've not had a regular plumber but I now plan on having Tai be that. Thanks for the excellent service!! Tai was great.
He came to help me install a kitchen faucet, and realized the new faucet I bought from home Depot has a defect. He helped me pick up a new one and installed it as no extra charge.
Also, his pricing was the best from the quotes I got. Will hire him again for future jobs.
nice guy ,can come immediately ,Answered on 1st call NOT LICENSED No thank you if you feel lucky then you can go for it . Good luck Out of the 8 plumbers I contacted, Tai stood out as the most affordable option.
Not only that, but his responsiveness, efficiency, and excellent customer service truly impressed me. I've found my long-term plumber.
Highly recommend! Tai did the job well as expected. Giving 3 stars because he was very rude to us while doing the job and that's definitely a negative sign.
I would think twice before hiring from this company next time since I wasn't happy with their way of treating customers. Tai and his team truly deserve the 5 stars.
We wanted to relocate our water hookup and install an utility sink in our laundry room area but our situation was our laundry room is a converted garage so no crawl space, on a slab, and "Mickey mouse work" from previous owner. But that didn't stop Tai and his team to give us what we want.
He even taught my fianc
