Adolfo’s Plumbing

I called Adolfo to give me a quote. He was very prompt and communicated about his arrival time. I did not end up using his service but was pleasantly surprised by his professionalism.

Amazing work fixing the incredibly annoying humming noise in my pipes. Reached out to me in the early morning to let me know his team was available, came to check it out, and was super efficient & cost-effective in fixing the problem. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Thanks Adolfo!

Did a great job.  Wish it was less expensive, but I guess that is the price of quality plumbers these days.

I needed to get my Kitchen faucet replaced.  It was something I wanted to get done sooner rather than later.  Adolfo replied to my quote request letting me know that he could accommodate an installation on this same day I requested a quote.  When it came to pricing, Adolfo was also very competitive.
In the end Adolfo replaced my Kitchen faucet and it was mounted very well.  I would definitely use Adolfo's services again.

Alolfo was fast and affordable! He was clear with the price and once I gave him the go ahead, he fixed both our problems (leaky dishwaher air gap and non-filling toilet) very quickly. Could not be happier. Thanks, Adolfo!

We had a clogged kitchen sink, response was great , he answered my questions, I told him I will call him back because I wanted to get a couple more people to respond. After a couple more responds from other companies, I look up his reviews and compares with other companies. The decision was with him. He came and snaked the drain, which opened up another problem, corrosion, he suggested that we repair and even place a clean out, so snaking the drain next time will be much easier. I was very happy that he could have the repairs done in a short period of time . Two days. Job was well done and everything seems to be working fine. I like how everything looks.
He is very trustworthy and very helpful.

Adolfo arrived on time, provided an accurate quote and fixed the issue. Will be happy to use his services again!

Adolfo's Plumbing did a really good job at fixing the problems I had in my basement.They changed my old pipe that was clogged up and made sure all my drains worked perfectly. I am super grateful for their service!

Literally the best!! Thank you for coming and getting my grandmother and aunt together

Adolfo was nice enough, and he responded quickly, but he was unable to clear a clog in the combined drain for my bathtub and kitchen sink.  He couldn't get at it from the bathtub and said that I'd have to get at the pipe from the floor below.  I called another plumber, Ace, who used a more powerful rooter to clean the drain from my kitchen sink.  That worked.

Adolfo was first to respond to my quote request on a Sunday. He was on his way to another job, but gave me a time and showed up exactly on time for the quote.

Our disposer was not draining. At first I thought it was the disposer since it was 17 years old, but it ended up being the main drain from the kitchen. He first tried rooting it from the kitchen, but it still was clogged. I tried the basics of removing the p-trap and clearing out the water, and after a few hours messing with super smelly water, I gave in and decided to call a professional.

He then looked at the outlet in the garage and saw that it was clogged. He used a hose tool with a rubber balloon at the end and was able to clear it up. He could have called it a day, but he recommended that we replace the pipe since it was full of grease. We try our best to never pour grease down the drain but it may have been our previous owners from 1989.

We also decided to replace our 17 year old Kenmore disposer and he installed an Insinkerator Pro 750 which was much quieter and had great reviews on YouTube.

Adolfo was very professional and courteous and I would hire him again. The quotes that came after were more than what Adolfo quoted so I feel like his prices were fair.

Adolfo and his crew are the best! I've had many plumbers and will be calling Adolfo again and again. My house is literally 100 years old and scares many plumbers- Adolfo worked with our needs and didn't give up. I am so happy to have found Adolfo's plumbing.

Adolfo said over the phone it would be a flat rate to clear the clog so I told him to come over and fix my upstairs kitchen sink. Adolfo came and cleared my clog in my upstairs kitchen sink. After Adolfo left, I went down stairs and noticed that my downstairs kitchen sink was back up and over flowing onto the floor. I called Adolfo and told him the downstairs sink was now clogged. He said he would come over tomorrow at 10am. At 10am he called and said he was running late and would be over at 12am. At 3pm 2 different guys, not Adolfo, show up. They check out the clog in the downstairs kitchen sink. After a phone call to Adolfo, they said it would be an additional charge to clear the clog. I told them I paid Adolfo yesterday a flat rate to fix my clog. I my mind, Adolfo only transferred the upstairs clog sink to the downstairs sink, so job not fixed. The 2 new guys said Adolfo did not agree and this downstairs clog is a new and unrelated to the previous clog and would be an additional charge. It was getting late and I just wanted my plumbing repaired and functional. I buckled under and paid the additional charge.

I personally will not use and/or recommend  Adolfo's Plumbing.

Crisis averted and thanks to Adolfo my kitchen valves were replaced and now work properly!

Adolfo was recommended by a friend of mine after we started suspecting a leak in the kitchen was getting worse over the course of a week.

When we woke up Saturday there was a lake in our kitchen but Adolfo was able to not only assess the issue but also fix it all within an hour or so!

The fear was that the issue was buried somewhere but all he recommended was to replace the faucet and dishwasher valves and sure enough the old rubber gaskets in the valves had twisted or cracked so replacements solved the issue.

I'd recommend Adolfo in a heartbeat without hesitation and I'll absolutely be calling him again in the future.

Very quick turnaround time from inspecting to getting the job completed. The work was professionally completed, they were masked the whole time, and completed within the promised duration.

The plumbers who were working on removing the leaking pipes and putting the drywall back were respectful of the home and did their best to reduce noise and dust - which I appreciate a lot. I was expecting needing to clean up at the end of the day but they did such a fabulous job where they also wiped down where there was dust from their job, clean up the bathroom, and even clean up the carpet area and stairs. Two thumbs up!!

Why the minus two-star:
1) I expected them to come with their own equipment but they had to use my ladder throughout the time of inspection and service. Which is fine with me since I had it but just shouldn't they have it on hand? If I didn't have a ladder, how would they do what is expected?

2) Again the promise was to complete the drywall with the floor baseboard. But they didn't have it and asked if I could provide it. I paid to include that but then the owner of the plumbing company is now asking me for it? Not happy about this.

3) The owner, Adolfo, came to wrap up the remaining items the last day but he's not as thorough as his employees. He literally left a mess where he cut the baseboard, the bathroom where the employees cleaned the previous day was now dirty after he did the remaining touch-ups, and DID NOT appreciate that he wore his shoe into the house without any covers or putting down those hard paper! YUCK!

I was wrong to assume that since the employees did such an amazing job, the owner must have shown them how to do it well. Boy, I was wrong.

We had Adolfo's Plumbing complete a job replacing all of our 80 year old galvanized pipes under our house and remove our old hot water heater and replace it with an exterior tankless water heater.

He was absolutely great to work with. He came when he said he would come. His team was prepared with all equipment and materials he needed. He set realistic expectations as to when he needed to order and receive the new hot water heater. His team was very warm and efficient throughout the job. He even finished the job a 2 days ahead of schedule! That NEVER happens with contractors!

I highly recommend Adolfo's Plumbing.

I had Adolfo's do a major plumbing job that required removing old sewer pipes from from the street to under my garage that had broken in two places causes periodic backup. This job required permits and some serious excavation of under this old Victorian.  His team had to remove the old pipe while still allowing for water to continue to the home, which only a 30 minute disruption.  His quote was the best that I received and his timeline from start to finish was 5 days. His team was on time daily, worked hard and got the job done on schedule with minimal impact to my neighbors. When the city inspector came out, it was approved without any changes. We are extremely happy with the work we received and would recommend him to anyone.

It was a Friday night and I needed a snake of my main line.  Adolfo and his crew were the first ones to respond and were at my doorstep within 40 minutes (this was at 9PM on a Friday night).  They quickly solved the problem and kept their word about their initial estimate.  I will gladly support them in the future for all my plumbing needs and highly recommend them!!

Fast. Smart. Honest. Called him about a backup. He gave me some info over the phone concerning the type of clean out we had. After us both determining that we had the wrong (more expensive) operation to handle, he arrived and saw something I didn't. He said, this will be the easy one. I like that kind of honesty. Thanks a ton.

Adolfo was professional and very efficient. I would not hesitate to hire him again.
I had called the top rated 5 stars and the charge to fix a faucet was ridiculous!
Adolfo to the rescue! His prices are fair and he goes beyond to make customer happy. He arrive on Sunday and went to Home Depo to purchase new faucet.
Highly recommended!

Adolfo and his team did a great job installing a clean out in our side yard. He was prompt, courteous and reasonably priced. His team cleaned up and made the area look better than when they started. I would definitely recommend him over the national chain that is also in the area. He was also the quickest to respond vs other local bids.

Adolfo was great. Had a clogged kitchen sink and Adolfo came within 40 mins of our connecting on Yelp. Was really fast, knowledgable and professional. Had to deal with a pretty tight space under the kitchen sink (garbage disposal was blocking the main sink line). Didn't charge me extra to remove the disposal and snake the drain. Ran a snake about 20 ft and cleared whatever was there and then put everything back together and ran the water to guarantee everything was sealed.

Adolfo came out to look at my half-baked effort to replace the drain of my bathroom sink, and didn't make fun of me, didn't overcharge me in a desperate situation, and was finished in under two hours. Great work and very thoughtful and professional.

I have a basement bathroom with an upflush pump (a.k.a. ejector pump) that flushes drain water and toilet waste up to the sewer line. The pump stopped functioning late in the evening, and I contacted Adolfo on Yelp.

Adolfo responded within minutes, took full details, and quoted a perfectly reasonable diagnostic fee. He stated that if there was additional labor or materials discovered in the diagnosis, that the full price estimate would be inclusive of the diagnosis. He said he could come out immediately the following day, as soon as he had finished with an inspection that he had scheduled for the morning.

Adolfo was proactive in staying in touch with me while I was waiting. His communications were clear (Spanish helps, but his English is perfectly adequate), and he was patient in listening to all details of the issue and providing his input.

Adolfo showed up the next morning with his assistant, arriving significantly earlier than the deadline to which he had committed. (I had explained to him that I had a hard-stop Zoom appointment, and he was happy to accommodate me by arriving as early as possible.) His diagnosis revealed an issue with an electrical connection, which he quickly resolved. He did not charge any additional amount beyond his quoted diagnostic fee.

I heartily recommend Adolfo as an efficient, courteous professional. I will certainly use him again when the need arises.

The team came to my home on a cold late Sunday night and efficiently flushed and opened the pesky lateral sewers to the city main. My only quibble is they quoted one price in their initial bid, a higher one when I contacted them and a third when they switched the solution from snake to power water flush. But their final price was very fair considering the hour and emergency need. Great guys, too. Efficient, clean, communicative.

Called for service very close to Xmas eve. Adolfo came out, assessed the situation. Gave an honest opinion about shower fixtures and the better quality to install. He was also able to provide the shower fixture, instead of me having to go look for one. He was willing to send a team on Xmas eve, but we made an appointment for post Xmas day. They were on time, did a great installation and finally, our shower is up and working again. Thank you, to Adolfo and his crew.

Adolfo and his partner rescued my mom today when she found flooding in her bathroom and garage. He arrived within an hour, diagnosed the problem as well as another with the main shutoff valve, explained why the leak occurred and showed us the corroded pipe he replaced, and cleaned up after. There was clear communication throughout regarding price estimates. Highest recommendation!

My kitchen sink got clogged on a Sunday and Aldolfo was able to come out to  fix it later in the day.  I knew that the line from the sink to the main sewer was going to be replaced and that might require a few hours of work.  Over the phone when we first chatted Aldolfo gave me a price of $1000 and thought it would take 3 hours for 2 people.  Ok, I thought that was high, but It was a Sunday and we needed it done asap.

To get the job done, I had to cut a 20 x 20 hole in the floor of the kitchen to make it possible for Alolfo to get the length of pipe into the crawl space.  With that being done, Aldolfo and his worker were able to do the job in half the time he thought, but unfortunately, not half the price.  He still charged me $1000 for 1.5 hours of work and a 14' length of pipe and a few connectors.    

So, Adolfo did the work reliably and responded quickly....and so far the drain  is all good.  However, he got paid very well for it!!  I would have felt better if he had adjusted his price to reflect the time it actually took to do the job.  
That was $666 per hour for two people, $333 per hour per person!!  Yikes!  Hence my story here on Yelp.

Toilet overflowed on a Sunday, Adolfo was first to respond. Fair pricing and good work.

Adolfo was great! I called about a clog and a leak and they were able to squeeze me in and came within 30 minutes after the call! He looked at the issues and gave me a quote and the possible outcomes and reconfirmed all the prices. Him and his assistant worked very efficiently and showed me all the changes they made and gave my toilets a nice flush so that we can both make sure everything is up to standards! He was also a very respectful and sweet person. We had a wonderful chat! And to my surprise, got a nice discount at the end! Would recommend! Hopefully I don't have any plumbing issues in the future but if I do, definitely calling Adolfo plumbing! A very satisfied customer! Thank you!

Adolfo did an outstanding job. He was very accommodating and reliable. He is very friendly and knowledgeable.His prices were reasonable and it didn't degrade the quality of his work.

Adolfo responded very quickly to my request for information. He was able to come handle my emergency plumbing issue the same morning.

Our sink had standing water and after numerous attempts I gave up and searched on Yelp. Adolfo was one of the first to answer back and requested a phone call for follow up questions. Super nice and friendly, came over and looked at everything and gave me a quote for under $200. I agreed and he started work right away, he was done about half hour later! I would definitely recommend him

Adolfo was quick to respond to an emergency plumbing issue we had with a leak in our kitchen sink area. Not only that but he was extremely friendly, took time to explain things to me and gave me options/suggestions for resolving the issues. We found his rates to be quite reasonable. A few days later we had him come back for other work. Highly recommend Adolfo!

Our sink was clogged. Fast response time and it was fixed the next day. Adolfo knew what the issue was at first glance.

Great service, punctual, and great communication.  

Very safe during Covid as well.  Had mask and gloves - made us feel very comfortable.

Very knowledgeable and helpful during a stressful time - my water heater burst and he was quick and responsive.

Highly recommend

Adolfo was fast to respond! He also showed up quickly and solved our problem inexpensively. He was very polite and generally helpful.

Adolfo came and quickly problem-solved a sink drainage issue and gave me all the info I needed to know how to solve my other plumbing needs. He made it super easy for me to decide that I wanted to upgrade to some new toilets. He told me where to look for them, then picked them up for me at Home Depot and installed them same day with his colleague. They were so fast, professional and reasonably priced! So excited that I found a reliable plumber and will keep coming back to him for our house's needs. Thanks so much Adolfo!

Adolfo did a great job fixing our garbage disposal, and we really liked working with him. He is kind and professional, and also a great communicator. Plus, his fee was very reasonable. We will definitely hire him again.

Such fast service! Half price of other quotes for major job... new pipes for laundry, shower, kitchen sink. Replaced broken water heater with tankless one. First visit he snaked lines, gave estimate, didn't even charge us

Very quick response time. Also gave me a reasonable price.

I have a sewage system clogged in basement bathroom of my house. The work he did only last 2 today. My sewage system got clogged again 2 days later after he unclogged it.
.
I called him to let him know that he did not fix the problem. At first he argued that he fixed the problem then later said that he'll comeback on Monday (2 days later) to re-do the work again.
When he came back he argued with me that I should pay extra money to have him use a camera to check my sewage system is cleared. And I needed to pay for that separately. I said no and we agreed that he give me my money back. Which he did and I got another contractor to fix my sewage system.

We came home from vacation to find our dining table covered in water from a leak coming from the ceiling above. Adolfo came immediately and found the hard to find leak, tested out a fix, and came back two more times to make sure it held. Great job!

Responded quickly with an initial quote, we then talked on the phone and he raised the quote.  Said he would be by tomorrow at 10am.  He didn't show up, didn't call.  When I called him and asked if he was coming, said he decided he no longer wanted to do it or we needed to raise the price again before he looked at it.  He didn't feel the need to tell me this in advance, so I took off work to wait around for him.  Unprofessional, look elsewhere.

He's the best.  Will be my plumber for life.  He helped me pick a sink.  Helped me install it.  Gave me advice on other parts of the sink.

We called for an emergency mail line drain issue on a Saturday just past 5pm. He came and snaked the house from all of the clean outs and snaked from the toilet. He is awesome. Good person, good value. Very thorough and clean. On a Saturday evening! 5 stars..

He sound like a nice guy on phone but I didn't get to meet him, he forgot about our appointment..I gave him one star because I had to call off work just for the our appointment

Adolfo was very responsive. He and his assistant were willing to come and look at the potential job on a Monday evening (the same day I first contacted him). They showed up on time the next day and did excellent work. He even offered to run to the hardware store for me once he realized I didn't have a part that was needed for the garbage disposal. All told he installed that along with a new kitchen faucet, soap dispenser, and air gap for the dishwasher. I'll definitely call on him again for any work needed in the future.

Adolfo was willing to come out and deal with a clogged shower drain on Christmas Day. Did a great job, courteous and all at a fair cost.

Our kitchen sink was completely clogged and all efforts to unclog it had failed, so I requested quotes on yelp. Adolfo got back to me right away and was amongst the cheapest, so I asked for his help.

Amazing!

Within an hour after receiving the quote, he snaked the drain and fixed the problem. Great service, reasonably priced, punctual, thorough, excellent communication, highly recommended!

Adolfo responded quickly, showed up on time and quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it, all for a very fair price.  I would definitely hire him for any other plumbing repair needs!

Adolfo was very flexible, kind, and knowledgeable with his work. We had some storm water issues with the drainage pipes in our driveway, and rain water was getting backed up and seeping under the garage door. With more rain storms predicted over Christmas, we needed immediate assistance to unblock the pipes and were worried about not finding someone over the holiday! But Adolfo came out same day within a couple hours of us calling, and he even did the work over FaceTime since we weren't available to be at the house. He wanted to make sure we could see all the work and make sure water was draining correctly before he left. He was great to work with, and we were happy he was able to help us so quickly!

We hired Adolfo to address some issues that were called out in the inspection of our new house. He was very helpful in explaining what the issues were and which ones needed to be prioritized. Once we agreed on a plan, he and his team worked very quickly and thoroughly. I would absolutely hire him again for our plumbing needs.

Adolfo came to check out a toilet that was backing up. Very quickly he realized the problem was in the sewer line and he returned to inspect the sewer lateral. He showed me the areas with the camera where the lateral was blocked and broken due to root and debris. He organized crew to replace the old clay pipe lateral from the house to the main with plastic and took care to do the job quickly and with minimal disruption. (His crew had to dig multiple holes 6+ feet so some disruption was inevitable.) Clearly communicated costs throughout and set expectations accurately for all phases of work.

We had to replace our water heater.  Adolpho and two men came out right away and replaced it with new copper supply and discharge lines and strapped it in for a reasonable price considering it was somewhat inaccessable.  He insisted I get a good quality unit instead of the Home Depot mode.  I expect years of good service from it.

Adolpho did a great job installing a new water heater, he showed up on time, moved the washer dryer to get into the space,  hauled away the old one,and was very responsive when I called with questions.

Quick to respond (within 30 minutes). He was easy to communicate with, efficient and did the job right.

We had a blockage in our bathroom that sent sewage up through the shower and toilet. Nice way to start the weekend, right? It was super stressful, especially since I was sure nobody would be available on a Friday afternoon. Adolfo showed up within 30 mins and 2.5 hours later, the issues were addressed. He was professional, thorough, and fast. He even gave suggestions for how to actually fix the problem so it won't recur (at a later date). I definitely recommend him.

Adolfo was extremely responsive, by text and phone. He showed up and allowed me to coordinate the payment through my landlord and even returned later in the day to finish the job. He snaked our shower drain and we haven't had any issues since. Would recommend Adolfo to anyone in the Bay Area.

Called Adolfo to get an estimate on replacing an old shower valve.  He was very responsive and called back quickly.   The estimate was reasonable and on the day of the repair he showed up on time and did a great job in replacing the valve as well as faucets and trim.  I'm very happy with the work he did and we would definitely call him again for any plumbing issues.

Adolfo was responsive and quick!  He replaced my sink faucet with no problem, and was done in less than an hour. He also had affordable rates, and was a really nice guy!
