I usually don't spend the time to write reviews. But Scott deserves one from me. I dread looking for a contractor to help b/c I have had bad experiences. But Scott is now my *only* go-to person when something breaks in my properties. Though his company name is "plumbing," Scott can do any type of job for your home or office...and any size job. He does plumbing, remodeling a kitchen, etc. You can trust him! BIG PLUS! He makes sure that you understand the work and his plan to solve the problem. Scott did a number of projects for me, including my lawn control box and leaks, re-piping gas lines, redoing the pipes for my water heater when I bought my house (and probably saved my family's life because the old owner installed it himself and did a terrible job unbeknown to us), and replaced a water heater at another property. Once I complained about a stinky smell in my bathroom. I thought it was a leaking toilet. Scott came and asked me when I smell it and where I was at. I reflected and said I'd smelled often brushing my teeth. His first guess was that the smell was likely from mildew inside the sink or sink drain. And long and behold, the smell disappeared after we poured bleach down the sink and drain. He's amazing! Most other plumbing would fix the toilet. He saved us so much money over the years. He is an artist as well and takes pride in his work. He had to fix my water heater pipes, and they looked like a matrix. read more

I found Plumbing Plus on Yelp and called because of the stellar reviews. I wish I could give Scott and Plumbing Plus 10 stars! Amazingly responsive, fabulous work, done very efficiently, very reasonably prices, and Scott is a really nice guy to boot! I can't remember meeting a nicer person since forever. And all of this was from a desperate call I made on a Sunday morning and he squeezed me into his already very full schedule, much to the detriment of his sleep! He will definitely be my go-to plumber and I will send every person I know to him!! read more

I needed a water heater in the worst way! Mine went south so I called several companies, they acted like I was bothering them asking for a general quote!! When I called Scott at Plumbing Plus I was not only treated like a customer I was quoted a price much less than the others. Scott's work was not only to code and correct but done with pride! Not to mention he was great to talk with as he worked. Scott worked late into the night to keep his promise to get us hot water that day! Thank you Scott! Great experience. read more

Scott is skilled, honest, responsive and his prices are always more than fair. He's been a lifesaver in my journey of buying an older home with multiple plumbing issues, and I couldn't have gotten through the last few months without him. read more

After seeing the stellar reviews for Plumbing Plus on Yelp as well as the Facebook page, Alameda, Peeps, we hired Scott yesterday to replace our leaking hot water heater. He completed his job for his first client and then came to our house at 3:30 p.m. and stayed until almost 9:00 p.m. until the job was done. Scott was extremely personable and very knowledgeable, experienced and thorough. He did an excellent job with our installation and we would definitely hire him again for future plumbing needs. read more

Scott is by far the most professional plumber I have ever met. We have hired him for 3 different projects and his work speaks for itself; simply the best plumber we have ever hired. He is meticulous about his work, is as much a teacher and an artist as he is a plumber! We'll continue to hire him as his labor rates are fair, sometimes I feel the need to pay him MORE than he charges. Scott is also highly entertaining as his intelligence and personality are immediately noticeable, hire this man if you need plumbing repair and are interested in making a new friend too! read more

Scott is a terrific communicator! Thoroughly discussed my issue with me on the phone so that I ultimately realized that I didn't really need a plumber! How many plumbers will do that?!! Even though he didn't perform any work for me I will call him without hesitation the next time I have an issue. read more

Scott at Plumbing plus is your man if you have a plumbing problem. He is professional, reliable, honest, and reasonable. He's among the best for professi I have ever relied upon for work in my house, plumbing or otherwise. I highly recommend him. read more

Scott Kuhne is hands down the best plumber! He is honest, careful, great with communication and does impeccable work. Always cheerful and goes to the mat to figure out any challenge. Can't say enough about him and I will only use Him for all my plumbing needs. Thank you Scott!!! read more

Dave B from Plumbing Plus did a great job resetting our toilet and changing the shut off valve. He was on time, explained everything as he went, continually checked to make sure there were no leaks and cleaned up when finished. I will use him again next time I have a plumbing issue. read more

Scott has helped with two projects in our home and has been incredible. He's not only taken care of our immediate needs, but educated us along the way, so we're better prepared for any unforeseen problems. I'm typically under-impressed with workers that have stepped in our home, and he's really an exception. Incredibly dependable and fair too. Can't say enough positive things. read more

Scott answered my call promptly. Arrived on time. He's personable. Diagnosed and fixed water heater efficiently. His price was fair. I'd use him again. You should, too. read more

I had a gas leak in one of the old valves, and Scott helped to find a right solution and fixed it quickly, as well as suggested to save money on how to fix some other issues, even though he could have made money by suggesting unnecessary replacements. I truly liked the expertise and his attitude towards work. I have couple of other projects, and Scott will be my first choice to bid on these. It is a great pleasure to see that in the plumbing industry there are still decent and enjoyable people to work with like Scott, after seeing in the past how others can rob you and make money on your pain. Scott is highly recommended read more

Wow, what a terrific experience I had dealing with Scott. After having a new washer and dryer installed in my home on a Saturday, I developed a leak in each compression valve fitting. This was not the fault of the installer, rather it was caused by my messing with the fittings (32 years old, BTW) after they left. I tightened what I could but the leaks persisted. At any rate, I called several Alameda area plumbers and Scott was the only one who I could contact. He listened to my problem and although he said he was scheduling jobs towards the end of the following week, he kindly decided to give me one hour the following day (a Sunday)! The following day he arrived and was able to replace the compression fittings (which I had purchased at Home Depot) within the hour. Leaks were gone! Not only was he professional, he was very personable and likable, chatting with me through out the job. I will definitely hire him again should the need arise. read more

Our hot water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced ASAP. I was fortunate to be referred to Scott by another local plumber who could not take on a new client on short notice. After contacting Scott, he came to our home within hours to see assess our needs and prepare to order what was needed to do the work. He returned the next day with a new water heater and parts needed to complete the installation. He arrived 3 hours later than planned due a late delivery to his supplier. He then stayed until 7 PM to complete the work. A few days later, we used his skills to install new feeds to a bathroom sink which had low water pressure. Again, he was conscientious, courteous, and efficient in this project. To echo what others have said, Scott is a real pro, honest with fair rates and explains his work in an easy to understand manner. read more

Scott installed plumbing for a new shower. Awesome sauce (which I saw in a previous review) was an apt description. I'd use him again Ina heartbeat. read more

Scott is a highly dependable and knowledgeable plumber. But he's not just a plumber. He's an artist. I remodeled my bathroom and (mistakenly) ordered a cabinet with a drawer under it. The drain pipe would not fit and I couldn't return the cabinet with a new granite counter top on it. Scott figured out a way to install the drain pipe. He had to cut into the drawer, but he did it very carefully and even put a trim around the cuts so it looked like it was made that way. He basically saved my bathroom (and thousands of dollars). In addition, he's very good about explaining what he's doing. His work is excellent and guaranteed. read more

Scott just finished up here fixing my kitchen sink. Fabulous! He returns calls promptly. Came when he said he would. Did a great job and was super nice to talk to as well. Will definitely call him again. read more

Thank you, Scott! Scott came to fix my shower leak on short notice and did a fantastic job! He has a great work ethic and insists on doing the job right! So helpful, full of advice and insight, both as a plumber and as an upstanding person! I will surely be using Scott again as my plumber! My highest recommendation!!! read more

I don't give 5 stars easily. In Scott's case, I have no hesitation to give him 5 stars. Scott was friendly, personable, competent, experienced and was willing to take the time to explain things to you. Others might not have had the patience to explain things. He installed the plumbing necessary for my parents to have an extra washer in the garage and other plumbing necessities. I appreciated his attention to detail to do things right. He was respectful (e.g. took his shoes off, in the way he talked to you, etc). I enjoyed working with him and would use his services again. read more

Scott repaired plumbing in shower for me under somewhat urgent needy time. Very good work but especially appreciate great communication. Didn't try to sell me up as some did and had great attitude read more

He was very nice and knowledgeable, but never followed up with a quote. In fact, he led me on. I texted him over the span of two weeks (Feb 25th to Mar 16th), asking for the quote he promised. He kept saying he would send it to me. Finally he told me to go with another plumber. I will! read more

After landing back home after a two-and-a-half week vacation abroad, we went to take a nice hot shower and found that the pipe had sprung a leak. We called several services until finding Scott at Plumbing Plus, and no one could give us immediate attention (many were booked up to 30 days) but Scott came through for us with a next-day appointment, and was able to work through a previous contractor's sloppy work to identify the problem, and come up with a solution to repair it. With one quick trip to the hardware store for a part, he immediately got to work and took care of fixing the repair within 4 hours' time. Since we rent our home, the owner of the place will definitely appreciate that we have found someone as knowledgeable and efficient as Scott, especially since it's highly likely that we will need to hire him back to do a bit more work to re-install the drain line if the building owner approves it. He even wrote out very detailed information about the previous contractor's improper installation and his recommendation to have the drain and overflow actually replaced in the near future to avoid further issues. As an added *plus* he has a great personality and is very easy to talk with. We are very grateful to have found his service, and happy to give a 5-star rating to Plumbing Plus! Thank you again, Scott! read more

I called Scott as water from beneath my kitchen sink ran over my feet, hoping that he would come quickly. Instead, he patiently talked me through the problem over the phone, telling me how I could fix the leak myself, while offering to come round if the fix didn't work. It did and I'm very grateful. So rather than call him out to my house, I'd like to call him out her as someone patient, helpful, and quite willing to put the customer first. read more

Scott is 100% made of awesome sauce. We were having a lot of trouble with our contractor during a tile shower installation/bathroom remodel, and Scott, as a subcontractor, shone like a star amongst the rubble. He was prompt and thorough on his first visit, came back at the drop of a hat when we changed our mind about the location of a shower arm, and when he found that not all the necessary parts were on hand he stepped out, got 'em, came back and finished up. In addition to which, he stabilized a pipe near the toilet that he noticed was shaky (and he wasn't there to work on the toilet; he did that gratis) and he made a functional improvement to our front gate on the way out (added a wire loop and waxed the latch so it would close more smoothly). He came back to do some finishing touches one morning and couldn't reach me at work, so he applied good common sense and finished before lunch; he left detailed instructions on how to make any final adjustments I might want to make myself, as well. Possibly the best contractor experience I have ever had in my entire life! If you need a plumber in the East Bay, hire this guy! read more
