The workmanship lacked attention to detail and the cleanup was unsatisfactory. Specific issues: Concrete work mess: Fresh concrete was applied up against the old concrete, but they did not properly finish or clean the joint—excess concrete and splatter were left on the older surface. Poor finishing on new concrete: The new concrete sections show rough, uneven edges and unfinished seams between pieces. The edges were not neatly troweled or sealed, leaving visible gaps and inconsistent profiles. Incomplete cleanup and denial: After I first raised the issue they cleaned some areas, but a lot of dirt and soil remained. When I asked them to return and finish the cleanup, they denied that the remaining mess was caused by their work. Overall I’m unhappy with both the quality of the concrete fini

Shower faucet was leaking non-stop. I didn't know how to install the new cartridge so I called the pros. They made this job look easy. They were highly communicative, sending emails/texts to let me know when my appointment was booked and when the technician would arrive. Ed Montelongo showed up on time and worked with his team to quickly resolve the issue. Now that the shower turns "hot/cold" in the proper direction and no longer leaks a single drop, my wife is so much happier. Glad that I called the easiest to remember phone number (415-PLUMBER) for Smelly Mel's!

We had a major plumbing issue at our restaurant, and Smelly Mel’s Plumbing did an outstanding job from start to finish. Ed, who was our main contact and plumber, was especially helpful throughout the entire process. He was professional, honest, and always responsive. He clearly explained the problems, provided realistic timelines, and made sure everything was handled properly. Large commercial plumbing projects are never easy, but Ed and his team managed everything with great care and responsibility. They worked hard to minimize our downtime and get us back in operation as quickly as possible. We truly appreciate their dedication and support during a very stressful time. Highly recommend Smelly Mel’s Plumbing for any commercial plumbing work.

★★★★★ 5.0 Anthony Sandrik · Jan 2026

Smelly Mel's is fantastic. I've worked with Isaac, Ed, and Jim, on fixing pipes and installing a tankless water heater, and can't recommend them enough. Very relationship-driven team, as they listen and observe, before recommending a course of action, and really make sure that you are getting the right level of service. And they're here to fix your problem and make your life easier, unlike other companies, who offer over-the-top, expensive "solutions." They are incredibly friendly and competitive in pricing, and bring a personal, white-glove approach to a job that others have commoditized. Smelly Mel's is (should be) your first and only call.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kolby Dauler · Jan 2026

We’ve worked with Smelly Mel’s for a house trap replacement, a refrigerator line issue, and a main valve upgrade. Jim and Michael were empathetic and knowledgeable. Identified issues quickly, laid out options clearly, finished on time, and all at a reasonable cost. Highly recommend.
