EXCELLENT Based on 599 reviews John Goetzinger2025-06-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Side sewer repair. The work was well done and as soon as needed. sharon nelson2025-06-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After twice having the pipe from the water meter to my house freeze during a cold Seattle winter, the company advised me that it needed to be buried deeper in the soil to ensure reliable water service. They did it fast and efficiently and I have had no problems since. Delighted with project. Kathleen Braden2025-06-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dewayne and his crew were very professional, arrived at the scheduled times and finished my sewer project in four days as planned with minimal interruption to water and sewer usage. Kemal Tezer Dilsiz2025-06-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Blocked our trash and responded with "I'm professional don't worry" when asked questions. They don't seem to care that they inconvenienced us. And only got annoyed because I asked 3 questions and took 60 seconds of their time. Edit: lowering to 1 star because they stayed parked in front of our trash (and fire hydrant) for over 2-3 hours. And I had to personally step out to catch the trash car, because the employees of Bob Oates didn't make sure they would pickup our trash AFTER promising to us and again saying "I'm a professional don't worry". Luckily the compost city employee was super nice and walked the extra bit. Now I am going to have to watch out for other trash pickup. Thank you Bob Oates crew for being unprofessional. Brooks Kolb2025-06-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I returned in the early afternoon last week from a long trip, only to find a plumbing emergency in my home (water gushing from a line supplying an outdoor hose bib.) I called Bob Oates and they were able to send Raymond out within 2 hours. Raymond was awesome - courteous, efficient, and extremely effective. He fixed the leak by 5:30 PM, for a reasonable price. We are regular customers of Bob Oates - we wouldn't consider any other plumber!
