Kenneth Asire Plumbing

We're talking 1948 house with a leaky shower that needed a cartridge replacement. I called on Friday morning and as I'm out of town, emailed in a photo of the unit and description of the house and water cut off locations.

I had checked Yelp earlier and read the company description. They specialize in water heater replacement and somewhat bigger jobs. This was a small job by anybody's estimation but I thought they were worth a try as they're close to the house.

They were over that afternoon and fixed the leak that day.

Now I can't guarantee that they'll be over on the same day you call. They were for me though. I don't live there and service like that is important to me as now I don't have to listen to the people in the house bugging me about something continually. It's worth it not to hear the noise.

Silence is golden.

I'm happy. The people in the house are happy.

Can't ask for more than that!

If you've got plumbing issues you know who to call, don't you?

Good job.

Our dual-tub kitchen sink got clogged with too much food from the trash compactor. I left drano in it overnight and it ate the pipes. So, now I needed someone to come out, unclog the drain and also install two new p-traps. The man called me at work and said it would be $795!!!

I asked for a breakdown of the price:
$500 to power spray the build-up off the pipes in the drain
$295 to unclog the drain and install new parts

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

I negotiated him down to $700 and he quickly agreed. Which tells me, based on other reviews, I probably ended up getting screwed and this job could have been done for much less.

So, while I am glad the problem is fixed, and I am appreciative they came out within two hours to fix the problem, the prices are CRAZY!! The guy was at my house for two hours and was gone in a flash.

Thanks for fixing the problem, but my god, seriously??? $700

Shame on me for paying it, shame on your for charging that much :/

But seriously, thankful for the quick help...but c'mon guys....this feels like price gouging to me :/

This company parked their truck right in front of my driveway near 18th and Mission in the rain. There was plenty of room to pull forward. I couldn't get home and had to park a block away in the rain.

They went to the trouble to mark their truck with a cone but they were no where to be found.

Very Frustrating.

I'd like to recommend their service to all as needed, they are so professional! I like the efficiency of how they worked, I met a plumbing issues in my kitchen, they come in and give me a quote, after i agreed, they start working on it, and it only took about 10-20mins, all done!

They showed up on time, were professional and got the problem solved quickly. I would absolutely use them again.

I always have great success with Kenneth Asire Plumbing. They come out to give a free estimate, pricing is competitive, and the quality of their work is

Vladimir and Junior replaced antiquated (1927) faucets in my kitchen and bathroom as well as replaced my shower head and toilet seat. I feel I have a new apartment! They are efficient, polite, and thorough. Having the modern hardware lifts my spirits, upgrades the apartment exponentially, and I feel I am now living in the 21st century.

I had written what I needed when I completed the form for the estimate and they brought all the hardware to see if I liked it. They had several styles from which to choose. Instead of getting just an estimate, they got the job done in short order!

I'm writing this review after having 2 experiences with Kenneth Aire plumbing.

The first time I called them was because of a leaky shower that needed a shower cartridge replacement. They also decided to snake the shower train, and both of the services cost about $500.

I called them again to fix a toilet flapper because there was a slow leak causing the tank to run and waste water which made the bill very high for my tenants. I had just replaced the refill valve about a month prior so I was sure the flapper was the cause. Vladimir arrived and confirmed that was the problem. The only thing really needed was the flapper valve but he decided to replace the fill valve and flapper which ran me about $400 for 2 tanks. These kits are less than $20 and it took him less than an hour to do so they made about $350 for an hour of work. I was traveling and not able to do it myself, so I had no choice but to agree. He also wanted to charge me an additional $250 to replace the rubber piece that sits between the tank and the base which I declined.

I also asked them how much it would cost to replace the shower cartridge in my other bathroom and this time he quoted me $600 which I declined. This is also a $20 part and would have taken him less than 30 minutes. That's about double what he charged me the first time he visited. I called Christy to understand why it was so high and see if there was a price list. She said she would call me back which she never did and I had to follow up a couple weeks later. Christy said there is no priceless and it just depends on the job which to me means they can make up whatever price they want given the situation and how urgent your problem is.

I don't like being taken advantage of and feel transparency is very important when running a business. I'm writing this review so you have an idea of what rates I was charged. My suggestion to anyone reading this is to watch a YouTube video on how to fix easy problems like this. Or make sure you get an estimate from different plumbers if you're going to use them. I wish I wasn't traveling both of the times.

They did fix the problem both times, so I'm thankful for that. But I think prices should be transparent and they shouldn't double. They should build trust with their clients so experiences like this don't happen.

This is the third time I have called upon Asire Plumbing to help me. This morning a Saturday, I was astonished to see a pool of water under my kitchen sink and I called Asire. The emergency phone representative, Chrissy, (I think) could not have been more gracious and empathetic. Vladamir and Junior appeared within the hour and assessed the problem instantly and knew exactly what to do. Thank you for such excellent service and the quick response!!! THANK YOU!!!

Justin from Kenneth Asire Plumbing did a great job! He helped me remove a stubborn bathtub faucet cartridge that would not want to come out. Unfortunately there was no access point under the bathtub so he figured out a way to remove it. He also helped me find the replacement cartridge and came back to instal it. Overall I had a great experience. Super friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable. I would recommend Kenneth Asire Plumbing
