He did a beautiful job. He was very respectful and very polite. He answered all our questions and concerns. He cleaned his mess and showed me when he was done how the faucets worked. I would recommend him to anyone who was in need to of plumbing.
Rene did a phenomenal job in helping us re-pipe our entire house, which was built in the 1920s! From start to finish, he was always available to answer any questions, he made sure the team was aware of our needs and made the process very easy. We’ve used Ballards for several big jobs now and they have the best team. Thanks again Rene and Matthew!
Had A/C and heater system checked fir any flaws or possible issues.
We have been using Ballard for more than 30 years for all our HVAC and plumbing. Darryl was amazing and pleasant to have in our home. I would recommend Ballard and especially Darryl for any of your needs that Ballard Services provide.
Professional and courteous technician. On time arrival and affordable pricing. Darryl is amazing. Not our first experience with him. He always remembers us. The "best" plumber ever. Worked diligently & left the work area clean.
This was our first experience with Ballard Plumbing and all of the team members that we came in contact with (Sergio, Rene, Anthony and Jordan) were professional, friendly/courteous, neat, and respectful of our house. We live in an older home, almost 100 years. Even though we have improved or replaced a lot of the…
Sergio and Rene showed up right on time ready to go to work. We needed to find out why our shower stopped draining. They located the problem immediately. Thank you guys! We always call Ballard and are never disappointed!
Great service. Very courteous and willing to answer questions and explain any work done.
Great Service
I had an outstanding experience with Kevin the HVAC technician, sent to my home, and the entire company. In the 10 years I've owned my home, this was by far the most thorough inspection and evaluation my A/C system has ever received. He carefully evaluated every part of the system, identified several issues that had…
Anthony did great job for installing my tankless water heater and fixing my kitchen sink water leaking and clogging. He is very professional and very clean. Thank you Anthony!
Over all the tech was courteous and knowledgeable. He is very loyal to the Ballard company. Ballard is the first company in 25-30 years to charge me to even come out to my house. I was told the cost would be $49 for the tech to come out, I wasn't told that there would be another charge for him to look around for…
Darryl was exvellent
Ballard has been our plumber for almost 14 years! This time they replaced our water heater. Darryl was an amazing plumber! He assessed and tried several different things to fix it before recommending a replacement. He did a great job! He was quick and we were grateful he was able to get it all done on a Saturday.
Darryl was excellent. He quickly evaluated the leak in my toilet, showed me pictures of the problem, showed pictures of the replacement parts as well as the final installation of the parts. Darryl is so very skilled as a plumber . Thank you Darryl

Sergio and Noah were both friendly and efficient. Sergio was also very knowledgeable and fully explained everything that they were doing. Thanks, Sergio and Noah!
Manny Vasquez always does great plumbing work and ably assisted by Noah. Close to 25 years as a Ballard customer!
Excellent job! Above and beyond. I’m extremely pleased with Manny’s work ☺️
Sergio was absolutely fabulous and throughout the whole process, explaining all to me as he went along. Thank you So much. Katherine
Daniel just came to do AC maintenance. When he finished, I asked him if they did ducting also. He volunteered to go into my attic and look at it. Also, gave me a rough idea of cost. Very professional and respectful! He went that extra mile to provide great customer service! Update! 3/19/23 The Gas Company found…

Manual patient, explained things Really knowledgeable and did excellent work!
Overall, a good experience! Armando was my tech. He was helpful and professional in his work ethic. He also completed the work of replacing my bathroom faucet, valves and hardware in a very timely manner. Thank Ballard for being flexible on the final price and for your service.
Joe and Noah were professional and proficient, courteous and well trained
I've used Ballard for everything from A/C installation and plumbing and they always do a wonderful job. The technician who came out last Tuesday, Armando, was great. He got my kitchen faucet squared away quick. Ballard is a company my parents used when I was a kid and because of their decades of great service to my…
Manuel is the consummate professional. He always does a great job and I would never go with another plumber. I have been using their services for 30 years and recommend them to people all the time.
Darryl VanDyke did a great job and we were pleased with the finished work.
Very personable and efficient.
Armando did excellent work and answered all of questions for preventative maintenance, moving forward.
Did a great job. Very professional and meticulous.
As usual Randy was awesome, he initially repaired a plumbing leak in our upstairs shower & returned to install shower head & handles Once again sometimes it takes me awhile to navigate these reviews. But I’d be lying if I didn’t enjoy Ballard & Randy’s expert knowledge…Continue with your fine work!
Jordan was on time, polite and knowledgeable about what he's doing. He diagnosed and fixed a leaking pipe super fast and easy. I highly recommend Ballard PH&AC and they will be my first call again if need be.
Excellent Customer Service. Armando was very friendly and explained everything. He was very helpful getting the documentation to my Insurance. Thank You
