Bill McLaren installed an automatic gas shutoff valve for safety and insurance compliance. He was straightforward, knowledgable and very pleasant to work with. Came out to the do the job exactly when he said he would, adapted to the specific needs of the project, and finished it on time and without any issues. And his prices are extremely reasonable. He's already gathering some information for our next project. Our experience with Bill was absolutely great. Hire this guy. read more

I discovered McLaren Plumbing on NextDoor and went with them for some modifications needed to a new stove installation in our home. Bill responded quickly and came out the next day to access the required work. We agreed on the scope and he proceeded immediately to complete the work in about 3 hours - doing an excellent job. Very practical, honest and reasonable. I appreciated his work and will have him do future plumbing jobs at our home. read more

We found McLaren Plumbing via Thumbtack. Bill fixed a leak problem with our dryer gas hookup. The job ended up being more complicated than he initially thought. He had to go get different parts from the store twice. But Bill is very patient, explained very well of what the issue is and replaced the necessary parts. The cost of the job is fair and transparent. We really appreciate the work and are now happy to have a trustworthy local plumber that we can go to! read more

Bill was recommended to me by my realtor after we moved into our new home. We needed a washer and dryer plumbed in and a vent installed out of the basement. He came out and assessed the work within 24hrs and completed it 24hrs later. He's my Plumber now and i would vouch for his professionalism, value and service every day of the week. read more

I hired McLaren Plumbing to replace my garbage disposer under a kitchen sink. After a few months, a leak appeared under the new disposer. I took a look and I was able to push the disposer up through the drain! Bill had not tightened the screws on the drain assembly! This is a basic step in the process, which anyone who watched a youtube video would know. I fixed it myself. Buyer beware with this "plumber". read more

Bill McLaren installed a tankless water heater and relocated a gas line for me to correct a connection to my gas stove. He was recommended by my realtor and did a superb job. His work was timely, thorough, clean, and fairly priced. Five stars!! read more

Talked to him and described work to be performed. He asked me to text info to him which I did. Could never get him to commit to a time to come over and actually look at the job. He just faded away........... read more

I needed help with a leaky faucet that I attempted to fix on my own, but ran into a snag when I broke the cartridge in the pipe. I called a couple of plumbers but Bill was the only one available right away. He luckily had the tool I needed to remove the stuck cartridge. His price was way more reasonable than other options. read more

It was a great experience working with Bill McLaren. Our tankless water heater died unexpectedly on a Friday night. Many qualified plumbers we called were unavailable on a Saturday, or were too far away from us for a service call. One of those plumbers recommended Bill, and luckily he was able to look at our water heater that day. He has a lot of plumbing experience, and a lot of experience with tankless heaters particularly. He was quickly able to see what the problem was, and make recommendations. We ended up having him replace our water heater. He is very reliable, very straight forward to deal with and very reasonably priced. We would recommend him without hesitation for any plumbing work. read more

Bill McClaren replaced some ancient and failing flow regulation valves in our duplex basement last year for about half the price and half the time several other plumbers had estimated. A few months later he came out to look at a leaking European made kitchen faucet that was unfamiliar to him and sent over a co-worker to take care of it, again at a reasonable rate. He's a straightforward, reliable, pro and a pleasure to work with. read more

After noticing our carpet was very wet, I discovered our two ancient water heaters were leaking. I called Bill first thing in the morning, and he came out right away. He quickly diagnosed the problem (actually, only one of the water heaters was leaking), and discussed options for replacement. He was pleasant, hard working, and honest about pricing. By the early afternoon, Bill had removed the bad water heater, and hooked up a solution salvaging the still functional water heater so we could further consider our replacement options. I would happily use Bill's services again. Thanks! read more

We had a very difficult job, where it was hard for Bill to get to the pipes. Also, our house, which is very old, presented some unique challenges. Bill came to our house on more than one occasion, even once on a Sunday when we needed immediate assistance, and we were highly impressed by the quality of his work. He fixed our problem which was a very destructive leak, and we would call him again anytime we had a plumbing problem. read more

I had an annoying kitchen faucet leak for a few days that turned into a constant stream over the holidays. Yips, there went my good water saver status with EBMUD. After calling a couple of plumbers that had a message machine, Bill was not only the first to pick up but was able to come over within the hour. He was fast and thorough, and immediately started taking things apart to get to the problem...and fixed the problem he did. Happily he didn't leave behind anything for me to clean up, either. The sticker price did hurt, but he was right when he stated he was less than most plumbers. He took less than an hour and I would've liked it if he didn't charge the full hourly rate, or maybe looked at something else I'd mentioned, to get the full hour's worth. But hey, not being plumbing savvy-overall it was worth it to have a good job done quickly. I'd like to add, he was patient in explaining what he was doing, to gain a little more knowledge over basic faucet, hidden turn off knobs etc. read more
