Claim This BusinessHonrath & Stacey Plumbing & Heating has kept Contra Costa County comfortable since 1967. This family-owned operation, now spanning two families and multiple generations, earns a 4.9-star rating across 211 reviews, making them one of the most trusted names in Richmond's HVAC and plumbing scene. Their technicians serve homeowners across Richmond, Berkeley, San Pablo, Pinole, and Petaluma, handling everything from aging furnace systems to brand-new water heater installations. The company operates Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, with on-time service that rental property managers and homeowners alike rely on year after year.
What distinguishes Honrath & Stacey is their commitment to the long game. Every installation they perform carries a one-year warranty, giving customers peace of mind that the work will hold. They offer new customers a 10% discount on first service, a gesture that reflects their interest in building lasting relationships rather than single jobs. Their expertise spans wall heaters, traditional forced-air furnaces, water heaters, and full repiping projects, with particular experience in the unique challenges that come with homes built in the early 1900s.
Vonne Morocco has relied on Honrath & Stacey for 13 years in her 93-year-old Richmond home. Owner Joey has installed toilets, garbage disposals, a complete heating system, water heater, sump pumps, and replaced original galvanized pipes with modern copper throughout her property. Sara Garabedian, a real estate agent, refers the company to clients and calls them personally for her own repairs, she notes they sometimes walk clients through simple fixes over the phone, saving a service call altogether. Jen King, who manages rental units, praises their communication with both landlords and tenants, noting they arrived on time and completed work efficiently in both units.
Five-star reviews dominate, 15 of 16 visible reviews award 5 stars. Common threads: technicians explain problems clearly (Chandevy Eng mentions Joey is straightforward about solutions), pricing stays reasonable (Spencer Star contrasts their honesty against big-name competitors), and the owner personally handles jobs. One 4-star review cites cost as the only hesitation, while 5-star reviews cite diagnostic skill and follow-through.
