Highly recommend them. We had an emergency with the business and they came in and got it worked out so fast. Jonathan is amazing and he was super friendly and got us back in business. You will be so happy with the whole service. If I could give more than 5 stars, I'd definitely do it. Thank you J. You are great!  
Your company is lucky to have you!

I was referred to Advanced mechanical contractors by my local plumbers. Jonathan who was super helpful was able to make time and put in a temporary repair while my company decided what step to take next. The effort that has been put in is extremally helpful.

Bob B came out to our condo today to help fix a leaky pipe and was so helpful, professional and just a nice guy. He explained everything thoroughly and we would definitely recommend him!

I gave them 24 hours of notice to replace 3 shut off valves and was told they would be at my condo before 10am. At 1045, the dispatcher told me their technician was on another job and wouldn't  be able to service me. When I asked if they had someone else they said no. My HOA only shuts off water on Thursday so with thanksgiving being next Thursday I am screwed. Basically I'm going to be without water in my kitchen and refrigerator for 2 more weeks.

They came recommended from my father because they did a good job, but obviously I wasn't worth their time.

I understand other jobs taking priority, but they could have let me know yesterday so I had a chance to book someone else for the job.

Guess I'll just get water from my bathroom sink when my family comes for thanksgiving and asks for a glass of water.

We had our kitchen sink in an island backing up. We called Advanced Mechanical and they were very responsive. Technician, Johnathan came out and identified the problem very quickly. He ended up having to replace a portion of the plumbing under the cabinet and a fitting under the house. He was able to get the problem fixed and even stopped in to follow up a few days later personally to make sure his repair was working perfectly. The service over the phone was great. But the attention and service by their technicians in the field is nothing short of amazing! We highly recommend this company their services.

Very poor quality of workmanship, over exceeded price estimates, plumber was rude.  Completely not satisfied.  They look professional yet they fell short in my book.

Had an out of the blue incident where my water would not shut off & the spigot had failed.  Called a couple other plumbing businesses and they were booked (of course it happened on a holiday weekend).  Advance Mechanical Contractors said they were booked but would squeeze me in if possible.  W/in a 1/2 hr, i received a call that someone could come out.  It was Bob.  He was friendly and happy to figure out my problem and answer any questions i had.  We figured out my problem.  He fixed it, and he even showed me some tricks should it happen again.  I am very appreciative for the quick response and expertise. Thanks all involved!

i had a massive backup in my kitchen sink. i live in a condo complex and basically backed up sewage from the other units was coming up into my kitchen sink. yeah. gross. my house smelled like the alleys behind restaurants.

best service i've had from any sort of maintenance people.. i called monday 4pm and i was told someone would be in tuesday between 8-10am. danny acero was my man! sure he ended up coming around 10:15 but understandable seeing as it was a rainy day and they seemed to be backed up with a lot of work. he was friendly, professional, experienced, thorough, AND!!!!! he cleaned up after himself!! he even went as far as to clean my sinks which had been covered in grease and grime from the backed up water!!
most people just come and fix the bare minimum of the problem and leave their mess behind but this was not so with danny. he made sure over and over again that the problem was resolved and i wouldn't be having any further issues with the kitchen plumbing. he also gave a few tips on maintaining my garbage disposal and pipes.

if you want great service and a thorough and professional job done make sure to ask for danny at advance mechanical! i will definitely be using their services again in the future!

This company is totally professional. Recently I had a new water heater put in, also needing new valves since the valves to my toilets and sinks were from 1969 and completely frozen. They also installed a new kitchen faucet since mine was a mess, which had been installed long before I got here. I was afraid of plumbing issues in this building, knowing I wanted to be hyper-responsible and do the right thing, but stymied by how much that would cost and how bad I KNOW the pipes are in this building. Rick came out and gave me the estimate. He was a wonderful introduction to this new company I was trusting because other local plumbers were afraid of (or not licensed) doing work on a 4th floor in a condo building. Bob, who trained under Rick, did most of the work that day. He was a great human being and helped me to understand more about the plumbing in my unit. Turns out we had a little problem due to a seal on one of the toilets that caused a leak downstairs. Advanced Mechanical (Bob) came back that night and fixed it. Every single person I dealt with in this company had a great attitude, was kind, patient and wanted to make it a good experience for me. I can't recommend them highly enough and I know for sure I will use them in the future when I have another plumbing issue.

I called Ken's Plumbing AKA Advance Mechanical Contractors to install 3 brand new toilets. Frank installed them quickly and efficiently. He was a very nice and pleasant person to work with. They were able to give me a good price on the installations with a $50 discount special they were having during the COVID-19 pandemic. I will definitely call them again for any of my plumbing needs and ask for Frank T.

Our pipeline from our toilet cracked and needed replacing. So we were told that we couldn't use our toilet on Monday. The people they sent Tuesday, and Wednesday had no luck. But Thursday came and Oscar got the job done before I got off work. I was told on Wednesday that they couldn't get underneath the condo to make the replacement and that they had to come into my unit and rip my floors open, ugh! Such a horrible thought. Thank God for Oscar coming to the rescue and making things work out (without needing to rip my hardwood floor open) Thank you, Oscar!!!!!! If anyone wants things done right and on-time request Oscar.

Recently plumber Bob changed out the faucet in our kitchen sink. We showed Bob the new faucet and he took it from there. Bob was expedient and courteous. No damage was done to our existing sink and he gave me a short little plumbing lesson! The whole time Bob was professional and quite friendly and did not leave a mess. Thanks Bob! Robert & Lisa

Ken literally saved my life! I was ready to move because I was having this never ending fly problem and even had hired an exterminator who had already spent 4 weeks trying to help me to no avail. I was ready to sell my home and move that's how miserable I had gotten. Since COVID is requiring us to stay home I felt like I was in prison in my own home. At the recommendation of a co-worker I hired a Plummer. I'm so grateful to Ken for finding the source of my problem. So when I say he saved my life I truly mean it!!! I would highly recommend Advance Mechanical Contractors especially Ken for all my plumbing needs. I know he will go to any length to help me and he will do it as quickly as possible.

Super happy with Advance Mechanical! They came quickly during a plumbing emergency and worked hard to identify the issue. There are 3 stores- so we were not sure where it was coming from. Jonathan was awesome- explained everything, cleaned up everything perfectly, even cleaned the bathroom floor. I would call them again for sure!! Thank you Jonathan and Advance Mechanical!

DO NOT TRUST this company. I would have preferred to give no stars, but Yelp requires at least 1 star.

They showed up to our business today to perform an unauthorized backflow test. I never heard of this company, nor requested that they perform this test.  Now there is a broken valve which I will have to pay another contractor to fix.  When business show up to perform unauthorized testing/work, it is a DISHONEST and DECEITFUL way of trying to obtain business. This has happened also with Fire testing companies and seems to be moving into this industry. Beware of this company!

UPDATE: A representative of the company called to inform me that the City of Long Beach sent them to perform the backflow test. I spoke with the City of Long Beach this morning and they stated that they NEVER send companies out to perform these tests.

Jonathan did a great job with my 2 toilet replacements. I solicited several quotes and Advanced Mechanical Contractors responded quickly, provided a competitive quote, and had availability. My Long Beach condo building also uses Advanced Mechanical Contractors (AMC) as their go-to plumber.
I think all of the work was completed in less than 3.5 hours? We had some challenging space constraints to troubleshoot. Jonathan also got a helper to come and take the old toilets (and even the packaging and trash that the toilets were shipped in) - lots of trips from my 4th floor condo to their van outside. I would definitely recommend Jonathan and AMC for future work.

A lousy experience. I called them and spoke with Jeff, who was courteous, professional and knowledgeable. But after Cyndy called back, who works for the corporate office, she failed to return my call with a recommendation for my plumbing problem. I left 3 messages, no call back. Maybe they don't return calls if the project doesn't pay enough, or if they can't suggest a solution. Not professional and a waste of time.

I recently contacted Moes / Advance Mechanical Contractors and I could not be more pleased. I needed them to fix a previous (different) companies plumbing job, they sent Bob who did a great job. He not only fixed the shower, it works better than it ever has. He was professional, efficient, effective and respectful.

I would highly recommend this company and will call them for any future needs.
