Genteel Plumbers has come out to assist on a few jobs and have been courteous and efficient. From the operator Max who is super upbeat and polite, to Chris the plumber who quotes very fair rates and follows-through with quality work, to Graham the owner/manager who collects the moolah, my experience has been very professional. Starting from last May 2020, Chris came out to provide a quote and matched another price, but ultimately I selected him because of his knowledge and polite demeanor. Unfortunately, a different plumber (DM me for his name) was sent out for the second part of the job (drain replacement and garbage disposal installation) and then tried to charge me 3x the cost. Finally, I was able to negotiate to a lower but still high price (compared to the quotes I'd received). Even then, Chris had saved the day by providing key parts that the second plumber said weren't possible/available. Fast forward 10 months to today - my tenant apparently had been dumping mop water with debris into the kitchen sink. Chris came out to dismantle the pipes, clear the drain of gunk and grease and charged me a fair price for the trouble. While he was there, he looked at an old dishwasher, quickly made sure the shower and bathroom sink were in working order and assured me that the "gas smell" was actually exhaust from the water heater and nothing to be concerned about after checking with his diagnostic tools. After the visit today, Graham called to check in that I was completely happy and was pleased I'd given them a chance to make it right (after I described the less stellar experience with the second plumber). Great customer service! Hot tip: try to buy any fixtures or appliances you want installed yourself if you can as there is an understandable surcharge if you want to source from Genteel

  • Matt Mullan

Updated 9-26-20. The Genteel Plumbing owner Sam reached out to me after reviewing my review and comments. I spoke at length about the issues I had and Sam was very understanding and sympathetic, he is a good listener. In the end he agreed to issue a $200 credit and added a 5 year warranty for the work done to replace our toilet and toilet valve. This type of customer service is rare given my experience with other companies and as I told Sam I really appreciate his efforts with me. Hence I have changed my rating to 5 stars ! Thanks Sam. Plumbers were on time and clear on the options for completing the replacement of a toilet and water fill valve. Frankly, the cost to replace toilet and shut off valve seemed excessive. Total time for the repair was about 2 hours total cost was $878.00. This was the lowest cost option in my case and comes with NO warranty on the work, not even 30-60 days. I find the lack of any warranty on the work after spending nearly $900 shocking. In order to get any type of warranty on the work I would have had to spend hundreds of more $$$. Lastly, the plumbers left the bathroom sink and floor dirty after they finished and left. I doubt I will use Genteel Plumbers for any future plumbing work.

I called Genteel Plumbers to fix my kitchen faucet. First they are about 4 hours late. Upon seeing the faucet, they asked me what kind of faucet that I want to replace it with when I wasn't going to replace the faucet but to fix the tube. Then I told them that the tube under the sink needs to be fixed because of water leak. Their reply was that it would take 24 hours and need to shut down the water supply for the whole building to do that. It sounds like they are bluffing. Or my job is too small and not worth the trouble. I called another company. This one has a totally different attitude. The repairman came on time and had the job done in 3 hours including fixing the bathroom tub drainage. This experience makes me wonder if Genteel Plumbers' high ratings on the internet is their own invention. I wasn't going to write a review but since Genteel Plumbers sent me notices to write a review for like 5 or 6 times I decided to let them know. This is it.

  • Dave Newcastle

Booked a three hour window to get a kitchen sink installed. They were late by over an hour, and only came out to give a quote. The plumber asked if I had the old sink to see how that was installed, after much huffing and puffing about how complex this was. It's a sink for goodness sake that just needs to be connected. He gave me a quote that was three times what I expected, and wouldn't tell me how many hours at what rate that was based on. "We don't have hourly rates, we quote per job." Had it done by another very nice plumber for a third of Genteel's quote. This had to be the strangest interaction with any service provider I've had. Didn't seem to know what he was doing and then provided a ridiculous quote with no explanation. Or they just try to take advantage of people who don't have any sense of what's involved and how long it should take. Either way, fair warning on these guys.

  • Clayton Douglas

Graham and Jeremy came through and helped us find a good price and a solution to our issues. I did a bit of haggling, only because they wanted to do a better job than I could afford(or needed). Im sure Graham had to bite his tongue a couple times, but he stayed with me and was determined to help. While I tend to be suspicious of every contractor in the Bay area(mostly due to the inflated costs of most contractor work) I found Graham to be diligent, and very honest. At the end of the day, I learned a little bit about plumbing, saved a little money, and can easily recommend him and his team. UPDATE Had genteel plumbers come out to change my water heater today. Solid professional guys, great work. With good options. If you get your water heater installed they will come out and drain it for the next 5 years once a year. Pretty good deal. Love working with these people

  • Brian Karfunkel

We had a nasty clog in our kitchen sink. I tried snaking it with a home snake, to no avail. I tried several plumbers, each of whom had different wild ideas about what to do. One wanted to cut through the outside of the house to empty the pipe that way -- though of course they don't handle repatching the stucco, so we'd have to figure that out. Genteel quoted a price that was higher than the others, but it turns out they were the only ones able to actually fix it. Everyone was courteous and professional and, rare to find in a plumber, punctual. You get what you pay for: maybe for a simple problem it's fine to cheap out (though often you can fix that yourself with a little googling and some tools), but for anything complicated I'm trusting Genteel from here on out. They also hydrojetted our drain line and gave a 10 year warrantee on that work.

  • J Gill

I made an appointment on a Friday to have my newly delivered gas range (stovetop/oven) installed. The receptionist with whom I booked my appointment was professional, patient and efficient in getting me scheduled. I was given a window between 9am-1pm on Sunday and the technician arrived just minutes after 9am! Marcus, the technician, was also professional, attentive and was wearing a face covering. He took a few minutes to inspect the unit and understand the install then quoted me a fair price of $110 cash or $130 card. Marcus finished the installation within about an hour and even came back later in the day to adjust a small piece. All the work was done with a sense of pride and appreciation for the customer! I'm confident recommending Genteel Plumbers! Thanks!

  • M. B.

We hired a service from He|| Advisor a few years back and it was a disaster. The pedestal sink was installed and the pipe wasn’t hidden. We live close to Genteel Plumbers and I gave them a call because we want to support local business. First time out, they fixed the prior plumbers dis-repair in no time. And they left the place spotless. ...Fast forward and we just hired them again to replace a toilet. The guys left the place spotless and we’re in and out in < 2 hours. They were professional, totally honest in their quote and did a great job. We’ll keep using them because they are seriously the best around. Can’t say how thankful we are for finding a real pro crew that does good, honest, clean work! Thanks team!

  • Marianne Mendoza

I found Genteel Plumbers via a Yelp inquiry to fix a clogged kitchen sink drain. They were the first to respond and I was able to schedule an appointment window within 2hrs. from the call. It ended up needing much more than a hand snake to clear up. Graham and his partner were very professional. The work involved use of a hydrojet to clear grease from the kitchen drain line and the outlet was in the garage. I was concerned for the aftermath but they hosed down the garage completely and put everything back in its place, including what was removed from under the kitchen sink. Price was competitive to the other estimates I received via the Yelp inquiry. I highly recommend them and would use them again.

  • Theresa Wong

My dishwasher was inexplicably filling up with water overnight. I called Genteel to schedule an appointment. Marcus came by within the first hour of the time window. He said the dishwasher wasn't a plumbing issue, so I had him inspect all the sinks in our house. We ended up asking him to unclog one of the bathroom sinks, which came out to $289, and Marcus did a great job. The solutions for the other sink problems were too complicated for the time. Of note, I was told there was not a dispatch fee, but Marcus mentioned that there was a $45 dispatch fee that was then waived when I asked him to unclog the sink. Not sure that I would have asked for the service if he hadn't mentioned the fee.

  • Dyanna Volek

Wow! These guys are truly professionals. They were SO responsive and kept me in the loop on when they would arrive and what they were going to do before they did the work. David was the technician and he brought Yannik who was new. We needed to remount and reseal our guest toilet to the floor. They did the work quickly and it's good as new. They even answered my other plumbing questions and didn't try to upsell me on other services. They are pretty pricey (total came out to ~$500) but there's a one year warranty on the service. And I really appreciated their communication and reliability. You can tell they are passionate about their work, and I would use them again in the future.

  • Barbara Haught

Wouldn’t use them again.. they told me the cost was $389.00 I feel on the floor.. The dispatcher said $89.00 to come out then a additional $89.00… if they have to unclog the toilet. He was literally here for 5 minutes … proceeded to tell me $500.00 if they have to take the toilet off.. I know things are expensive but unbelievable. I am shocked , he said he would give me a $75.00 coupon….nice of him… . My other plumber called as they where here who would of cost me half of that.. told him the price they charged and he is in shock land also.. off to buy my own snake for the toilet … Learning experience .. should of had more patience and waited for my regular plumber to call back..

  • Henry Ng

Would not recommend GENTEEL PLUMBING. They were called l to repair a pilot light that would not stay on. When they arrived, they had no interest in repairing it because I had a RHEEM water heater. They had a very low regard of RHEEM heaters. He quickly provided me an estimate for replacing the whole unit. I asked that he at least look at it to see if he could repair it. He removed the cover and exposed the unit. He pointed at the problem and said he could not repair it. He replaced the unit and the cover and charged me a ridiculous $329.00 for 15 minutes. I would highly not recommend doing service with GENTEEL PLUMBING.

  • Daniel

The Genteel Plumbers came through clutch! I had an emergency where a pipe had broken and flooded my basement. Graham from Genteel Plumbers answered my call right away and rushed over to solve my problem! Needless to say, due to his experience and haste, he saved me thousands in water damage and I will be forever grateful! I highly recommend the Genteel Plumbers for their professionalism, their speed, and their unbending commitment to helping us get through our lives with as little mess as possible. You never know when you may need a plumber, but when you do, call the Genteel Plumbers!

  • Michael Wright

Can't say enough good things! Middle of Covid--sewer backs up (really backed up--you would not want to know what it looked like). A weekend--and yet they were there in 4 hours! Job was to flush out the sewer and get it running. Graham's staff ran into a few snags and in minutes Graham himself was there, right on the spot, to give his expertise. Job done in less than one hour. Really, these guys are 5 stars all the way! Price was competitive but I would have never gotten anyone there that fast and finish the job on a weekend for any price. Thanks!!!!

  • Anthony Louis

Had a huge project that was overwhelming. I had no idea where to start with a remodel that needed all new plumbing. As soon as I spoke to Genteel I felt at ease. Communication was amazing from getting a quote all the way through completion. I think this is huge and Genteel definitely spend the extra time answering all the questions I had. They also do a good job staying on schedule and setting realistic expectations. As a new homeowner they really put me at ease and I look forward to having sheetrock done and then equipment installation!!

  • LT Kwok

Below was my original review. After they seeing this review, the company called me to apologised. I did not take calls for about 2 weeks but they kept trying. When they got me on the phone, they asked what they can do. Af the end I accepted a 50% refund of the cost of the work. So yes they do care. I would use them again as a result. ——————- They came to plug a gas pipe which was great. But the pipe was in the ceiling and they made a hole far larger than it had to be and that I then had to find another guy to close up

  • Kani Terry

Carlos and Joe were super reliable, efficient and quick. Within an hour of reaching out, they arrived for a free consultation, laid out my options and explained honestly what was necessary and appropriate for my price range. They proceeded with repairs for a fair price and my sink is back to normal. They also took the time to give me a couple of tips to avoid issues in the future. Thank you so much for your help, I definitely recommend Genteel for your emergency plumbing needs! Clean. Professional. Knowledgeable.

  • hsu00007

Joe and his assistant were prompt, accommodating (I was on zoom meetings when they arrived and during the repair), efficient, and tidy. I did not have to lift a finger. They removed items that were in the way, returned them to their place when they were done, polished the cabinet (not a part of the repair), and left the place cleaner than they found it. Oh! And the work happened within an hour of my calling. I was really impressed and the work has held up now a couple weeks going strong. Highly highly recommend.

  • They P

Joan and Daniel were great! They addressed all my questions, worked professionally, customized the installation to my preferences where possible, persevered when installing a rim around the heater that just wouldn't fit and that the heater got accidentally damaged a little and then they completely replaced it again! The fact that they showed up on a Sunday in the morning was really appreciated. I also appreciate that Graham explained the billing process cuz I had some questions. Thank you!

  • Campbell Browne

Graham and the guys at Genteel have been phenomenal and they’ve done work for us several times over the past couple years, including a shower drain clog, bathroom sink clog, and installing a new toilet. Always incredibly helpful, prompt, communicative, and thorough - I called this morning and the technicians came out just a few hours later and fixed the shower drain within 15 minutes. Wonderful experiences with Genteel and definitely recommend them for any plumbing needs!

  • Sandra Rivas

We had an emergency faucet repair over the weekend in June. The customer service from our initial call with Grant the plumbers Joan and his colleague who came to assess and provide service through the completion of work were superb. It was a very anxious day for us and the repair was more then we anticipated but they did a great job and now our faucet is working great, looks good and upgraded and they 10 year GENTEEL guarantee is great. I would definitely recommend them.

  • Will Lutwick

My water bills were skyrocketing. The problem per SF Water Dept. was that my toilets were leaking. I had another company (5 Star) give me an estimate. They said all 3 toilets should be replaced and it would cost over $5,000. Then I had Genteel check out the scene. They did not try to sell me 3 new toilets. They fixed the old ones. For $540. Quite a difference!!! That was a few months ago. The toilets are fine, my water bills are normal-ish. Case closed. 10 stars !

  • Jose Lopez

Genteel Plumbers were great! After calling multiple plumbers they were the only ones should could provide both a same day appointment on a Saturday and a free estimate. Jeremy and Allen arrived on time and were very polite and extremely helpful. They were even willing to speak with our landlord about the plumbing issues. Once we were able to receive a quote they were even able to fix the issues that night! I would recommend Genteel to someone in need of a plumber!

  • Sanjai Moses

The whole process from beginning to end was efficient, professional, and responsive. The plumbers came out in a timely manner- I received text updates including a photo of the plumber assigned to my house. They wore masks and gloves the entire time, kept more than 6 ft while we talked and very quickly took care of our plumbing disaster. Within one our our problems were solved and they cleaned up the space. I will always use Genteel Plumbers!

  • Eric Dunn

Genteel Plumbers is our go-to plumbing crew. Graham and his team are always prompt, professional, and polite. We had a garbage disposal that needed to be fixed/replaced. They came over, assessed the issue, and were able to estimate and replace it on the spot. (We also recently scheduled some routine maintenance with them and Marcus was super informative, proactive, and efficient in helping out with it.)

  • B C

The Genteel Plumbers have done a lot of work on my house. From installing a high end European style in-wall toilet to hooking up basic drains for a sink, he has done it all. Graham is always punctual, professional and thorough. Having found a trustworthy and quality plumber, I find myself referring him to friends and family because he will take care of you and stands behind his work 100%.

  • Gareth Kay

Genteel Plumbers were quick to respond to my original request for help on a Saturday evening and had a plumber with me by 10am the next day. Joan, the lead plumber, was courteous, friendly and walked me through all the options available to me. They hydrojetted our kitchen sink pipes and installed a new garbage disposal and did it with excellent workmanship. Recommend Genteel Plumbers.

  • Joel Morais

Genteel is an excellent local plumbing business that goes above and beyond to ensure total satisfaction of their customers. After inspecting and advising us on a dishwasher issue, they also fixed all of the clogs in our bathroom that we’ve been dealing with for months. I wish we had called sooner! They are a truly essential business at this time. I highly recommend their services.

  • Matthew Linaman

Phenomenal customer service. Jo and Edgar came to repair my bathrub spout within just a few hours of calling. They were thorough, communicative, professional and nice. They clearly knew what they were doing and they got the job done, above and beyond. Graham (or perhaps Grant) in the office answered my call immediately and got me connected with a Jo and Edgar rightaway. Grateful!

  • Brandon Grande

These guys were great. They came out on time and communicated the issue. Since they were not able to solve it without major work that we decided not to move forward with they didn't even charge for the time. I truly respect the professionalism and clearly they were there to help me solve a problem not just to make a buck. I'll be calling them for all my future plumbing needs.

  • Jonathan Lam

David and Gregorio were incredibly efficient and professional. Covid friendly too. They gave me a fair price relative to my drain issue and done in 30 minutes. Rescue rooter never showed up, answered my calls, or even updated me on their visit. Gen-Teel was contacted and completed within the hour. Support local and give these great guys more work! -Jonny The car wash guy

  • Fran Lugo

Great followup calls. I am a 45 year real estate property owner-investor -property manager & still a successful “Realtor”. My company is Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Drysdale Properties located in San Francisco. Knowledge about the old and new buildings here in SF. Very clean and safe. Will refer all my customers, landlords, buyers, sellers to Genteel Plumbing.

  • Alfonso Brigham

My sink was stopped up and my garbage disposal was broken and my sink was smelling. I reached out on yelp to several companies and these guys responded first and willing to come on Saturday. They came on Saturday and provided a quick estimate and did the project pretty quickly. They were professional friendly and stress free and easy to work with. I recommend.

  • Linda Radler

I started the job myself below the sink and got stuck. David and Jerwyn were on time, professional and clear communicating fix options and costs. They fixed leak under sink and installed shower parts I had. Friendly, helpful and I learned some helpful plumbing tips! Do your homework before hiring any plumber so you know what the job should cost.

  • Tom Bernard

I am an apartment house owner so my need for a plumber is more often than my home owner self. So I can say I have used Genteel Plumbing several times: slow or blocked drains, water heaters and have recommended them to my friend who has a heater problem. I like that they are responsive and punctual. I know the job will be done when they come by.

  • ricardo mercado

Very professional. Graham arrived within the specified time committed together with Jeremy who assisted him throughout the project. Knows what he is doing and the job was done promptly. There was e-mail communication before and after job completion. Completely satisfied with my first experience with them. Will definitely hire them again.

  • Jeff Graf

Technician can on time and diagnosed the issue. He gave me a quote orally and was supposed to follow up with a written quote by email for the repairs. Never got the quote and Genteel never responded to follow up emails. Will take another plumber to do the work. Annoying since I was hoping to apply the service fee toward the work.

  • RevLani Langlais

Superb, professional, honest, courteous – tops in San Francisco. Found them via their 5-star Yelp rating. Adding some more stars for their speedy, caring response, thoroughly excellent work in our bathroom issues, great communication and exemplary customer care. Diamond Certified, too. Happy to recommend Genteel Plumbers.

  • Anthony Fusco

had a tough shower drain blockage. excellent, fast communication resulted in plumbers arriving quickly. Good, professional, friendly guys who worked diligently until they solved the problem. Recommended! Only reason it's not five stars is I found the cost a bit on the higher side, but the work and folks were top notch.

  • Shannon Sinclair

I had a great experience with Genteel Plumbers during this current Covid-19 shelter-in-place. I had a plumbing emergency and they came masked and within a couple of hours. They were fast, efficient and very helpful. Genteel were accommodating and very affordable. I will definitely use their services again!

  • Brenda

This company is wonderful. They were very pleasant and sensitive during our week-end clogged sewer pipe problem. We were very stressed. Genteel Plumbers gave us confidence that they could solve our problem and did solve multiple problems in our 40 year old house. I plan to keep their phone number close-by.

  • John Furrow

Genteel Plumbers has helped us with several projects and will forever be our go-to plumbers going forward. The plumbers who arrived diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly and without issue. They were extremely knowledgable, communicative, and left the working areas clean. I can't recommend enough!

  • Ursula See

The gentlemen that came to fix the faucet were very personable and nice! They were tentative and professional! A little expensive but it is a Sunday night and they were super fast, capable and very considerate! I called them around 4 and they had my faucet fixed by 6, I would use again! Thanks!

  • Joyce Lee

Honest, courteous and professional. They go above and beyond the call of duty and we couldn't have asked for a better customer service experience. Chris was able to get to the bottom of an issue (mysterious clogged drain) that had been plaguing us for months. Thank you, Genteel Plumbers!

  • Judy Dunworth

Our tenants had a leak and were without water until we could get it fixed. We found Genteel Plumbing and they were able to come early the next day. They replaced the leaky part and everyone is relieved and happy to have made their acquaintance. Chris diagnosed the issue pronto. Bravo!

  • Lara Mitzman

It's always a pleasure working with Genteel Plumbers. Everyone we've worked with there, from the technicians to the people in their office, have all been very nice and personable. And they always give a call/text when they're on their way and who is actually coming as well. I love it!

  • Rachel-Lynne Canero

Marcus was our guy for the job! He was knowledgeable with estimates and worked on our needs with professionalism and expertise. I loved how they provided a good time frame for arrival and pic as our neighborhood reported scammy repair personnel knocking on folks homes in the past.

  • Sam Weinberger

Personable, skilled crew handled some updating work. Unfortunately they "finished" a little early and several things were not quite right. I contacted Graham and they were back in less than an hour and put everything right. I have had good experience with them in the past as well.

  • Carmen Davidson

Chris Johnson and his team were fast, friendly, explained everything that was being done. They all did excellent work. We are very happy!!! I recommend Genteel Plumbers for all your plumbing needs. The work of replacing a new water heater and toilet was done within 2 hours. …

  • Marco Svizzero

I had a clogged drain pipe in my light well that I had been putting off for a long time. Finally called Genteel plumbers and Graham came and took care of this stubborn gravel clog. The drain works amazing now and I am so relieved. I wish I had called sooner. Pricing is also fair.

  • Mark Mullin

We tried to fix our own drain clog, and somehow got it worse. Luckily, Joan and his associate were available within a few hours to fix it, did excellent work, and were quite professional. My only complaint is the price was a bit high, but maybe that's just San Francisco pricing.

  • Jordan Helsloot

Genteel Plumbers were extremely quick to respond to my call to come help with adding a shutoff valve to our pipe behind our fridge for a new fridge install. They arrived within 2 hours which was amazing and were extremely helpful and professional. Would recommend them

  • Leroy Wong

Fast service and got the job done quickly and efficiently. Provided estimates and options to help solve my clogged pipe issue. Will definitely call again for future issues. Contacted company on a Monday afternoon and came within an hour. Thank you Graham!

  • stonehands

Chris was pleasant, clear, and efficient. Excellent and quick work to not only fix a persistent clog, but also to correct shoddy workmanship from whoever had previously worked on it. The service is not cheap, but it was worth it for properly done work.

  • Stephanie Harris

My kitchen sink was clogged and I needed an honest plumber who could work around my busy schedule. A few of my friends had used the Genteel Plumbers, so I gave them a call. I was happy with them and would certainly use them again in the future.

  • Calla Winkler

I needed an angle stop replaced on a cold water shut-off valve under the kitchen sink. The guys from Genteel were friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable. They knew exactly what to do, had all the parts they needed, and completed the job

  • Brandon Shore

Great experience with Genteel. They had availability immediately. David came up from Bayview on a friday afternoon. David did great! He was able to explain the situation, provide a couple options, and complete the job. Would use them again

  • Megan Han

Graham knows his plumbing! He fixed our leak and provide follow up suggestions for other things we might consider doing to keep our plumbing healthy--and they weren't upsells! Just general reminders on home plumbing care. Very satisfied.

  • Jennifer Starkweather

I have been using Genteel Plumbers for the past few years and always recommend them to friends. They are knowledgeable and experienced. I will continue to use them for all of my plumbing needs of which there seem to be many these days.

  • Bruna Fagiani Ribeiro

I’m happy to take some time to thank Genteel Plumbers for the quick and professional repairs they’ve done at my house! The two guys who came over were friendly, on time and showed a lot of knowledge. Thank you! Highly recommended :)

  • Alfred Lee

First rains of spring and plumbers were booked. Since they were in our neighbor hood they made an extra effort to see us that day. They were pleasant and professional. They were even early! Nice to have a great plumber close by us.

  • CB Rader

Genteel Plumbers responded in a minute to my Yelp request and within 7 minutes I was booked all via txt message. First to respond, scheduled & they fixed the next day. Easiest experience with a plumber ever... Highly recommended!

  • Steven Chan

David and Edgar explained everything very well. They were here in a timely manner and performed the task quickly. They tested their work. I’ve had a previous plumbing experience two months before, this was much more professional.

  • Rema Oxandaboure

Joan and Edgar were prompt, friendly, patient, and super knowledgeable. Top-notch customer service and skills. Grateful to them for fixing our drainage problem and will not hesitate to return to Genteel if other issues arise.

  • Brittany Capener

We had flooding from toilet and shower drain in our bathroom. Called them late Saturday night and were able to schedule someone for early Sunday morning. We will definitely be using Genteel again for any plumbing services!

  • Scott Cantley

Graham did an awesome job! He replaced all 3 of our toilets with brand new ones that are much better quality than what we had and was done in about two hours! I would highly recommend Genteel Plumbers for any plumbing job.

  • Jessica Safier

Joan and Edgar did a great job. They were prompt, polite, explained the problem and the possible solutions. The customer service at Genteel is always great and should a plumbing problem arise, they are the ones I turn to.

  • Five O'clock Heroes

Fantastic service! They kept us informed, took the time to explain what they were doing, every step of the way. And so feel like they above and beyond their duty to fix our plumbing problem. I can’t recommend them enough.

I called Genteel and had a plumber arrive within 2 hours. I originally had called Ace Rooter but they did not have availability until 2 days later. Sam (who I spoke to on the phone to make an appt) was very helpful and

David, from Genteel Plumbers replaced our toilet flapper and fixed a leak under the kitchen sink. He was professional, yet friendly, fast and left our space clean. They wore masks the whole time, which we appreciated.

Joan was amazing! Super professional and courteous and I’m so thankful for how quickly he came to stop the leak in my house. Another plumber company messed up on scheduling and Genteel came through for us. Thank you!

Quick and friendly. Not pushy. Explained the job clearly. Came prepared. Had a new water heater available on the truck in case I needed a new one which I did. He showed me where my heater was leaking and rusted out.
