While no one expects a plumber to be a former Rhodes Scholar, there is still a minimum intelligence and customer service level required to run a small business. Even though this business is located in a mountain town with a trailer park, I was still caught off guard to find that Hooked on Phonics did in fact leave some children behind and then they grew up to become plumbers. This is by far the least professional small business I have ever encountered. They are not only unprofessional but Cody and his crew are extremely untrustworthy. As previously stated by other customers on various review platforms, do not give them your credit card. Better yet, do not hire Hoffman Plumbing and do not give them your address. Never before have I felt the need to keep a handyman under close supervision. Never before have I been concerned something would go missing if I let my guard down. Never before had I encountered a licensed plumber who looked he was casing houses to feed his meth habit. Whether that is true or not, it is still a very bad look for a company. As for the actual "service", don't waste your time and money. Call someone else. Call anyone else. Go drive to Reno and ask the Home Depot employees for pointers if need be. Like other reviewers, I too had to make multiple appointments due to no call/no shows by Hoffman plumbing. When Hoffman Plumbing did finally arrive, they just made a simple plumbing problem worse. I ended up having to call another local plumber -- who was fantastic by the way -- to fix the mess Hoffman Plumbing had created. It gets worse, there's more. The tweaker dispatcher who answers the phone number listed for Hoffman Plumbing sure struggles with simple tasks. Tasks such as scheduling, basic math, forming complete and comprehensive sentences, etcetera. Perhaps she is a special needs hire. I could see it, maybe the owner hired his autistic daughter to answer phones. However that doesn't excuse her rude and unprofessional behavior. Hoffman Plumbing should lose their license. I feel it is my responsibility as a consumer to file a formal written complaint as other reviews have suggested. Not only do they not deserve your business, by all accounts they appear not to want it in the first place. I should have checked Yelp reviews before booking with Hoffman Plumbing, please be forwarded and do not repeat my mistake. read more

But it was after hours so I could only leave messages. Tyler from Todd's plumbing called me back within a few minutes! I told him the situation and that I had shut the water off.

Tyler showed up the next morning right on time, I asked him to remove the leaky valve because it was not in use anymore.
