These guys are an absolute joke. Not only did try they rip me off, but they literally tried charged me 5x more than the the other 3 quotes I got. The average quote was about $3,000 to get a leaking pipe replaced, Mike Counsil quoted me over $14,000!!!! Turns out it was an easy fix that ended up costing me about $400 when all was done. Thank god I got different quotes, Mike Counsil is taking advantage of people who don't know better. Do not go to these guys unless you want to throw away your hard earned money. This was a wh... read more

Daniel, We are sorry this is how you perceive our company. This is valuable feedback that will help us improve our communications and client relations. Our company's core value of providing premium service sadly missed the mark and ended in disappointment for us both. The price differences you have mentioned are comparing completely different jobs. These are likely replacement jobs (long term solutions.) vs. repair jobs. In most cases, a replacement option is in the best interest of the client as it's inevitable that an o... read more

Besmir is very very good -- not only good at his own job but also willing to cover beyond his responsibility. The handling of scheduling though is insanely poor. I got stood up without being noticed, twice, before I actually got someone at my door. if you want your service at 3pm, tell them you want 11am. Only then will everything be on time. 

Business response:

Hi Ijdio, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Besmir and Mike Counsil Plumbing and Rooter. We appreciate all comments and take feedback very seriously. All comments help us to improve our service. Sincerely, Sean Counsil Service Manager

Ridiculously high priced. I used to love their commercials on the radio so decided to give them a try. What a disappointment. I sent feedback to their management but I guess they were too busy to respond. Beware and shop around before using these guys. 

Business response:

Hello Santacruz S, We are sorry to hear you didn't see the value in what we were offering. We would like to hear more details about your experience with our team so we can improve our service. Can you please email me at sean@mcplumbing.com or private message me here on Yelp to discuss further. Kind regards, Sean Counsil Service manager

Pricey, $4500, keep shopping before committing. i got the laundry room pipes replaced due to leaks. it's quick, clean job, but need to finish the rotted walls behind the new pipes which was not planned out. May need to hire a good handyman. 

Business response:

Hi Nel, Thank you for sharing your experience and comments with us. We appreciate all feedback and use all information to improve our service. We appreciate you taking the time to write this review. Sincerely, Sean Counsil Service Manage

Original complaint called into Mike Councils office by my elderly mother was for a slow draining sink. A technician came out inspected the sink and then went under the house. After inspecting under the house the tech told my mom that there was a crack in the sanitation line and the whole sanitary network (sinks and showers) had to be replaced due to one cracked fitting. My mom was told $30,000 and unfortunately without any consultation from her family or quotes from other companies she agreed. My brother called to ask for... read more

Can't help but feel I have been cheated by this company.  I had a leaking toilet drain pipe, probably had been leaking for some time and was now dripping through the ceiling. The good news was it was over the garage ceiling with easy access to be able to fix it.Two guys showed up, one was an estimator and the other a tech. I was told that I would have to pay $1,500 to cut away the drywall to be able to access the damaged pipe but the $1,500 would be applied to the cost of repair, which if it was a simple repair would be cove... read more

Mike Counsil Plumbing is running a scam. On Wednesday 4/27 our concrete workers accidentally broke a pipe connected to sprinkler lines. We called Mike Counsil Plumbing(MCP) to come fix that pipe as we had to shut water off at the main. I wasn't home so they While there they talked my mother into getting a 12 thousand dollar new water line in place because they saw a leak at the main shut off. While under the house for the pipe they claimed it stunk of sewage meaning the drains are bad. At the end of Wednesday they fixed a p... read more

Business response:

Peter, We are terribly sorry this is how you perceive our company. Our core values, training and the way we treat our client's are polar opposite of your perception. The price differences you have mentioned are comparing completely different jobs. These are replacement jobs (long term solutions.) vs. repair jobs. In most cases, a replacement option is in the best interest of the client as it's inevitable that an old system will continue to fail /leak causing a homeowner continued frustration, time and more money in the lo... read more

Late for appointment. When the guy showed up he tried to upsell me a $6000 water heater install! Very dubious and shady. He even told me that if I got the water heater from Home Depot, I would need to remove the water heater myself and cart it back to Home Depot for warranty work. What a bunch of BS. Avoid this company like the plague! 

Business response:

Hi Ik L. We apologize for arriving late and inconveniencing your time. We are not able to provide a warranty outside of our trusted professional brand and supplier. Hoping you found a different company to suit your needs, values and budget. Sincerely, Sean Counsil Service manager

My shower room had an issue with thermostatic cartridge, I contacted Mike Counsil because a friend's recommendation. A manager and a technician came over. The manager gave me an $1,700 estimation which I thought it was ridiculously high; the manager then came back and claimed the cartridge is a special kind and he needed to talk to his supervisor for a new quote, he came back with $2,600. I knew at the time that he tried to rip me off and his eyes increased blinking when he quoted me the new price. $2,600 for 2 pieces of ... read more
