My past experiences with plumbing companies left me questioning if I should just go off grid and drink rain water from my gutter runoff barrel and go pee in the woods. I called Bragg Plumbing (I saw one of their service trucks go by) I was totally surprised. A real human answered the phone and I made an appointment . Tracy was my plumber who arrived pre on time and I was and am totally happy and satisfied with the job done (replacing an outside hose spigot). I am on limited income and found the price very reasonable. If you value HONESTY,INTEGRITY and INGENUITY Bragg is the best company to go to with your plumbing problems. I will call no other plumbing company from now on. I do have another job for them to do and i will be calling them . If you want to hear horror stories about two other plumbing companies I have used in the past I have them! Thank you Bragg!! read more

I called Bragg at the last minute and they came out on the same day and installed a new kitchen faucet in under an hour and for a very fair price. Super happy with the service I received from Tracy and their dispatcher did a great job of keeping me apprised of his ETA. Bragg has jumped up to the top of my list for local plumbing companies and I'll be calling them for a quote for a tankless water heater. Thanks Bragg! read more

I had Chance and Tracy arrive on time. Originally, Chance told me that I needed my furnace pulled out and positioned on a tilt to help the water drain properly. The quote was 2500.00. When Chance returned, Chance double checked the problem and he found out that the issue was a heating pipe that was installed incorrectly so the water couldn't drain properly. Instead of charging me 2500.00, Chance crawled behind a very tight and dirty staircase and fixed the problem. He only charged me 235.00. Chance and Tracy could have completely ripped me off because I didn't observe their work. The company is reliable and honest. I may add that before Chance and Tracy, I had 2 other repairman attempt to fix my heater and they couldn't fix it. * read more

Woke up with no hot water. Called Bragg at 9am. The dispatcher cleared the schedule for one of their techs. Gabriel was here at 11:30, explained the issue, they worked with us on the price, and Gabriel went to work. The dispatcher made sure he was ready for an installation and by 4:00 we had a new water heater. Gabriel was efficient, friendly, courteous, and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. If it had to happen, we couldn't be happier with the experience, and feel relieved to have found a plumbing company we can call on if anything else goes wrong. read more

Owner John H does a great job running the business. They are great at what they do and are expanding. Our family needed a new water heater right away and John H put his crew on it right away. Tracey and Jose did a good job with installation, Cari is superb at managing the schedule and the crews, and Todd was very responsive. My family was pleased with the excellent quality of hardware and efficient service. Bragg plans to contact us every year to remind us to do the (free) annual service to flush and drain the water heater and fill it with clean water, which is the key maintenance to make the water heater last for many, many years to come. Well done, Bragg. read more

Our A/C stopped working and after a quick call to Bragg, Victor came by right away and within minutes had diagnosed the problem, replaced the defective part, and had the A/C up and running. The price was very fair and Victor even took a look at other plumbing issues that we had. Outstanding service, quick response, fair pricing, very nice employees, what else can you ask for? Highly recommended. read more

We are selling our home and the buyers hired Bragg to inspect the furnace for safety. The technician inspected the furnace and then ran some carbon monoxide tests on our bedroom vents. He dramatically called the realtor and myself over saying that there was a major problem. He pointed to his yellow meter device and it said 40ppm on it. He was measuring the vents in the bedrooms with it. He said when it goes over 5ppm it has high levels of carbon monoxide and needs to be shut off immediately and replaced. Even though he was only called in to *inspect* the furnace, he happily provided a high estimate to replace the unit. The next day (after a cold night since we were afraid to use the heat) we hired a more local HVAC company to get a lower replacement quote. The new technician, when he heard our story, said if there's ever a question about carbon monoxide safety, call PG&E for a free safety check as their equipment is the best and they are an independent party. So that's exactly what we did. The PG&E safety team arrived promptly and fully tested the furnace as well as our other appliances. The furnace passed all PG&E safety tests and their equipment showed ZERO ppm carbon monoxide coming from the vents. Thank goodness for second opinions and third party carbon monoxide testing!!! Don't fall for it folks! Also, the second quote was MUCH cheaper for a comparable product. read more

Great service and follow-through from Tracy and Carmen at Bragg Plumbing. We did a minor bathroom remodel and they handled all the work in updating the shower fixtures and reinstalling the toilet. They kept me up to date on their arrival time and did a good job keeping the site clean despite some pretty heavy rain. Thanks! read more

We've had Bragg out three times. First for duct cleaning, second for installing a thermostat and this most recent trip for duct cleaning again. This team was Carmen in the office as scheduler and Tracy and D'Andre as the duct service team. Carmen kept us informed throughout the process. There was a need to reschedule and she updated us even on a Saturday! Tracy was professional, friendly, thorough and he and D'Andre left the place clean and our ducts thoroughly cleaned. I think their pricing is probably not the lowest, but I call them because their service is good and there's usually someone to pick up the phone! Thanks! read more

This is my second review for Bragg, another 5 stars! Had a back up in our kitchen sink, Carmen got Tracey here right away, the problem was much worse than we thought, Tracy fixed the problem temporarily, Carmen got us fit in to the schedule in the next couple of days! Tracy and Sean were right at the time promised and got the job done, very professional, thanks again to Bragg Plumbing! read more

Bragg Plumbing and especially Tracy Nelson deserve 5 stars. This company is outstanding in customer service and as it turned out in professional workmanship, cleanliness, punctuality and attention to detail. I simply cannot speak any higher of the company from the minute I called them (thank you Cary, you are the best. Cary is the first person you talk to and the last person She wants to make certain the customer is happy) to the time it came to pay the bill. read more

We decided to get a home air conditioning system, and our neighbors highly recommended Bragg. So, we phoned and talked with Carmen; she was pleasant and efficient and quickly set up our appointment. Sean came promptly for our appointment and was extremely knowledgeable (as well as personable). We decided not to order the system; our furnace was pretty old and Sean agreed that spending the money would not serve us well if our 25-year old furnace died. However, he won our support and appreciation for his honesty and thorough explanation of what was involved in the installation. read more

These guys are great! Tracy and his terrific co worker Hector cleaned our air ducts Yesterday. They were efficient, careful to take care of our house, and advice us on how to manage our cooling system. Bragg is our go-to plumber! read more

I have used Tracy at Bragg Plumbing on several occasions. I am very pleased with Tracy. He always discusses the cost of the job and gives you different options. He is friendly and efficient and gets the job done. I definitely recommend the company and Tracy. read more

Tracy expertly diagnosed our under-toilet leak, had the requisite materials at hand, and did the work (pulling the toilet, replacing worn parts, reinstalling the toilet) expediently in half an hour. He also verified that the leak had not damaged the flooring. Excellent work! We've also used Bragg on multiple occasions for plumbing, duct work and replacing our furnace, and have been very satisfied. read more

Bragg Cooling, Heating & Plumbing recently installed in our home a 2 zone Mitsubishi Ductless A/C & Heating inceiling units, compressor and an attic fan. Todd, the product manager came to our home assessing our air conditioning needs with several recommendations. Victor and Jose did an outstanding job in the installation. They paid attention to detail and protected my furniture with plastic covers so no dirt can get on it during their work. When the job was finished they cleaned up everything leaving our home and yard spotless. They were friendly and easy to work with. The office staff was very friendly too. I called the company and asked if they could come out and check one of my units. Jose came out within the hour. Their service is excellent. We love how all the units exceptionally and quietly cool our rooms. We highly recommend Bragg Cooling, Heating & Plumbing. We give this company a 5 start rating. read more

Turns out that the main sewer line was broken and was leaking pools of sewer underneath the building - that's why it took hours to unclog and I suspect that's why they didn't want to do a camera inspection. It ended up costing us more to fix since we didn't know about it for ~3 more weeks until another plumber came and figured out the issue in 10 min by peeking underneath the building. The plumber was a very nice gentlemen, but what matters is the job and this job was a disaster. read more

Had an emergency visit on plumbing and septic tank issue. Tracy came out and was great. Went over and above to help diagnose and recommend next steps. It's a hard thing to deal with when you have plumbing issue but Tracy was on time professional and very helpful. Would absolutely recommend this service and person. read more

Tracy from Bragg Plumbing came to our home this morning to replace two toilet mechanisms and it was a pleasure to work with him. He was on time and took care of the two toilets but was also able to track down a new faucet at a local plumbing supply to replace one that had begun leaking in our garage. We were pleasantly surprised when he returned with the replacement faucet 30 minutes after leaving our home. His pleasant demeanor, professionalism and can do attitude were greatly appreciated. Replacing the leaky garage faucet took away our worries and cares. read more

Thank you so much to Bragg for their plumbing services. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Super fast, responsive and fixed an annoying issue the same day I called-within a few hours. Awesome! I highly recommend them. read more

These guys are the best! Both Chance and Tracy did work at our home. They are punctual and very professional! There work is of excellent quality at a very fair price, with estimates that beat most of the other local companies. We've used multiple heating and air-conditioning companies over the years and they are the only ones we will use in the future! They even provided work to fix some additional issues not included in the bid! I highly recommend them without any reservations! read more

We needed a new AC repair business. Was not happy with ours. We were in a heat wave at the time also. We made several calls and we were impressed with the professionalism and polite phone manners. They were very thorough in conversation. We weren't sure as we had a scheduling problem so did not complete call. They called us back/set up time to come and review AC/set up time to repair and completed repair. We had Todd and David. Both were professional and courteous. Our AC is working and running as if it were new. There work is guaranteed. The found and fixed everything that was wrong. They also kept there committed time quoted. Excellent service from Bragg Plumbing and Heating. We would refer and if we ever have future problems as AC gets older, we would call Bragg. Great service. Thank you, Thomas/Rhonda Booth in Windsor CA read more

Based on a VERY good experience with a young plumber from Bragg when we needed a new Garbage Disposal installed, we called them when we suspected a plumbing leak that we could hear in the wall. This is a VERY long story - but the short form of it is as follows: The plumber we had requested was here on time, looked under the house, said he had found the leak and estimated the fix at about $1600- 1700. He explained that it was in a difficult spot and wanted to bring the 'foreman' back with him the following day to look at it with him. The next day, he and the foreman were here on time. My wife was home and went out to do an errand. After about 20 minutes, they called her on her cellphone to say that the problem was even more problematic that the plumber had originally thought and the work was now estimated as being upwards of $5,000. My wife, wisely, told them to stop immediately. They asked for information about contacting me and they were surprised to discover that I start my work day before they do and do not finish until after they are done. The next day, I called Bragg and asked for a detailed estimate of the work they were proposing that, we were told, involved cutting through joists. We found a different plumber who came immediately and found and repaired the leak (that was not where Bragg thought it was, but with a copper pipe above it that had corroded due to the electrolysis caused by touching an old galvanized pipe.) 3 hours and $500. later, the problem was solved. So, I suppose there are two possibilities regarding the huge difference between Bragg's estimate and the actual cost of the repair. Either 1) Bragg's ability to accurately diagnose the problem was honest but simply wrong, or 2) The higher estimate was an attempt to rip us off. Either way - unacceptable. I never heard back from Bragg about the estimate I had requested. It's OK. They won't be hearing from me again, either. read more

Sean was quick, understanding of my frustration with another heater repair company, and didn't talk down to me. He explained what was going on today but didn't stop there. He also, at my request, prepared 2 quotes so I could make an educated decision on how to proceed for the immediate as well as down the line. He carried a tablet with which he emailed me the quotes to keep for reference. What a relief after working with a repair person who argued with me after not fully correcting the problem the prior week and charging me twice the price to come. I would also like to give a huge thumbs up to Claudia who worked me into Sean's busy schedule. She was helpful, caring about my situation, and a great job working it out to get me help today! Thanks, Claudia! read more

Just got off the phone with a Bragg employee after trying to get information about having a tankless water heater installed. I asked for a ballpark estimate and was shocked at the $4000 price I was given. I had priced tankless heaters from $600 to $1700, indoor and outdoor. After asking two questions, I was told it was obvious I didn't know anything about tankless water heaters and he didn't have time to give me details. So I guess this guy just expects his customers to shell out thousands of dollars for a water heater installation and ask no questions. Forget it lumpy. It's called being an informed shopper. If you're the type of person who likes to know what you're getting for your money, then don't call these guys. They don't have the time to give you details. read more

I got a very good feeling about this company when I called them in the morning to schedule an appointment to look at my water heater and they gave me an exact time when they would arrive that same day. The gentleman showed up promptly and diagnosed the problem within minutes (a stripped nutt). However, he then said they had a "minimum" $225 charge and he had already fixed it without asking if I was prepared to pay for this. What a rip-off for literally 5 minutes of work. (Regarding the "good feeling" I got earlier - the guy who showed up says they are just slow at this time and it's not the norm.) I would not recommend this company or use them again. UPDATE: Today, 5/11, I received a call from John, the owner of Bragg Plumbing and Heating, regarding my review on 2/9. I thought perhaps he was calling to make things right. When I called back to speak with him, he said he takes these reviews "very seriously." However, he then just proceeded to argue with me about my review and left me wondering why he had even called in the first place. I believe that how you handle a problem can make up for a poor experience, but I don't feel like any effort was made to make this right or even understand my position. Look at the other reviews on this site. I'm not the only one with something to say about how they handle complaints/problems. read more

I wanted trenchless sewer replacement and had lined up another company back in November to come in December. They were so backed up that they still hadn't rescheduled me by mid January. I started looking for someone else. I saw on-line that Bragg does trenchless so I called. John was super responsive. He lined me up for work and all the permits were pulled and work was done within 10 days. Zack was the foreman on site and he called me when he ran into substandard parts that needed replacing. I wish I knew more about plumbing costs since I was quite surprised at how much more I ended up paying, but overall was super pleased with their job. My suprise might have had more to do with my lack of experience with plumbing costs, than them in particular. Zach was really great to work with. He scheduled the inspectors and got their approval. It was a quality job and very professional. I will call Zach and John again. read more

Tracey and Deandre! Thank you!!! These guys came through on short notice and repaired a leaking sink which required a new faucet. Clean, professional, friendly and fast. Happy to have a working kitchen sink for the holidays. They came highly recommended from Small Jobs Plumbing and now I highly recommend too. read more

Bragg Plumbing has been a great service for us. Jacob came out today and found that our recoil had 10 years of dog hair in there. We were never advised by Sears to check this area. Jacob took apart the necessary pieces to get to the exchanger coil and cleaned everything out. He ran a test to make sure everything was working. Thank you for doing such an outstanding job!! We will be scheduling an evaporator coil replacement. read more

Sean and his associate were really knowledgeable and helpful and took care of our problem in no time. Very professional and courteous and friendly. Highly recommend these guys. Thank you! read more

Too expensive!!! When the technician came to look at my A/C, he knew right away that the problem was the capacitor. I didn't think there was going to be an issue with the cost because I figured a capacitor shouldn't cost that much. He didn't disclose the cost of the part and labor, instead he went ahead and replaced the capacitor. He told me after the fact that it was going cost $448! There is no justification for why I would be charged $379 for the capacitor. I feel that the technician took advantage of the fact that I'm a woman. Shame on you, Bragg Plumbing!!! Never again would I give you any business! read more

Tracy arrived on time and was great. He gave me a quote before performing the services and was able to do the job in a timely manner. He also gave me some household tips. I would recommend Bragg Plumbing to a friend. read more

tried to use them today to make a repair on our condo heater. It seems the system is having a hard time starting, but once on, the heater works well. The man was late, although only ~10 minutes. My partner (female) was the contact person and met him. it took him ~10 minutes to state we needed a new igniter switch and something else (vague) and it would be $1200. After my partner reacted, he stated we could just replace the system for ~$4000. (is this an effort to make $1200 look cheap???!!) I then showed up, after a call from my partner (also female) and by that time I had googled igniter switches. I also have a house and had similar repairs last year and it cost ~$350ish. I told the tech guy this, and he said perhaps it was a different problem. (OK, I can accept this, perhaps this is more involved...) I asked him for the estimate,,,,,what needs to be repaired, what parts etc. He stated HE DOES NOT DO THAT!!!! It's only a PRICE for ALL, NO Quote of parts/labor or what exactly he's doing. I paid the $69 "estimate", and was glad to not hire this company. Something is Seriously wrong, when he won't even state in writing what repair needs to be done. update 3/23/16- OK, we had another company do the repair. they 1st informed us of what was wrong and what needed to be done and how much it would cost. It ended costing ~$400 WITH the "coming out" fee. Then they gave us a written report. I am Sooooo glad I did not go with this company. BTW, the name of the Bragg tech was Brooks. read more

I was panicked when I placed an emergency call to John at Bragg Plumbing and Heating yesterday. The house was cold and my 96 year old Mom was covered in blankets. I explained the complicated situation and within minutes I was scheduled. Chance arrived early and moved efficiently and professionally to solve the issue. He was patient and explained present conditions and future options. Our family had used Bragg 11 years ago and I was lucky that I found the furnace folder and had saved the receipt as a reference. Very happy that good fortune was on my side with this successful furnace repair. Thank goodness for Bragg Plumbing & Heating and Chance's expertise problem solving. I would definitely call them again and recommend their service. read more

I'm a new home owner in San Rafael and have had every bad experience imaginable with hiring out home improvement projects. I hired Bragg and couldn't have been more impressed. I've bulleted a few standouts below. - Amazing communication, both email and phone - Accurate bids - Over delivery on the project - Very professional and knowable staff read more

I had a wonderful experience with this company today! Chance came out to discuss my water heater problem and the tankless vs. regular hot water heater debate. He totally convinced me that the tankless heater would work for me and actually pay for itself very quickly. The deciding factor, it seems, is how many people may need the hot water at once. The cost of the tankless heater depends on the amount of hot water needed. In my case, not that much! Larger heaters take longer to cost out, but are still a great deal. Then he quoted me a price for the tankless water heater. It was $2,500 (more than 30%) LESS than a quote I received from Ongaro and Sons. Pretty cool, right? I also learned that typical Home Depot-grade appliances are not nearly as high quality as "commercial grade" which don't really cost much more. You get what you pay for, evidently. It gets better! He then proceeded to fix my current water for $125!! The guy from Ongaro didn't even take apart the burner assembly to find out what the problem was. The Ongaro guy also said that he had the same type of water heater, and that it had been recalled because of the problem I was having. This was not true, according to the manufacturer. So, in the end, Chase fixed my 5-year old appliance and I don't need to buy a water heater at all! Whoo hoo!! Tell all your friends! read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD! DO NOT USE BRAGG PLUMBING! We have spent so much time & money dealing with these people over the past year. We had an infant daughter & our AC broke. Not only did they sell us an $800 part that we didn't need but they continued to not show up for scheduled appointments and mis-diagnosed our problem over 6 times... We couldn't get anyone to answer the phones or return our calls. I would not recommend BRAGG to anyone & we will definitely not be using them again. read more

My heater needed a tune-up and the thermostat needed replacing. Chance came out with Shawn and they both performed the work extremely professionally and gave me good explanation of how things work, what needed tweaking, and performed the work exactly as I expected. I highly recommend both of these men and will use them again in the future! You both deserve kudos from the Company! read more

Shout out to Tracy at Bragg Plumbing who was a hero in our household as he cleared a main sewer clean out. He also replaced the sewer clean out cap with one that will keep any future issues (read: sewage) out of the house! He was professional, patient with our questions and just an all around nice guy. He fixed the problem and charged a fair price. Couldn't ask for anything more and we highly recommend Tracy and Bragg Plumbing! read more

I'm so excited to share my experience ... I just had an all electric mini-split system installed, replacing 40 year old oil-type wall heaters. I feel like I'm in a completely different home! For those of you living with all electric, this heat/cooling system is economical, highly efficient and John and his team are experts at helping you select the best layout for your home, and then installing in a matter of 2-3 days. Chance was the 'lead' on this complex project, and he's just simply amazing. The reason I went with Bragg, is rather than telling me why this install COULDN'T be done, he figured out how it COULD be done. Then went way beyond just doing a good job, and made the system hum! Bragg Plumbing is a 'can do', courteous and extremely responsive company. I couldn't be happier! Or more comfortable in my older home. read more
