Just outstanding customer service and support. Immediately available on the phone for questions we had and even facetimed us to check this issue and corrected what we were doing wrong over the phone. Amazing! Highly highly recommend!!

We called due to a random main water gate valve leak, in the middle of the night. I called multiple other emergency plumbers and only got voicemails. Called this number and the guy answered. I told him I wasn't sure how to stop the main line leak, and he pointed out I could just turn water off at the meter read spot. Probably an easy solution for him to think of, but would have taken me quite a while to figure out. Super thankful for for him answering the call and walking me through the fix!

We'll be using them in the future!

We had a leak under concrete and Paxton referred a leak detection specialist who was great. Then Paxton came out and replaced the broken pipe. All around great experience!

Paxton was friendly and professional and sent a quality crew member to come and quickly solve my kitchen sink dilemma. Great guys, would go with them again.

Carreras plumbing is the best! They are always able to schedule us and do a great job every time. They replaced a water heater for us today and we are very thankful! Very reasonable price and such a great work ethic.

My water heater pilot stopped lighting after one of the rain storms we've had. Paxton from Carrera's said he'd take a look at it on the way to another job and realized a leak from the shed just got the pilot mechanism wet. He got it lit and turned it on high for the time being to dry it out. Didn't charge me anything. What a nice guy.

Our gas shut off overnight. When we turned it back on our Rheem water heater pilot light wouldn't turn back on. I called Carrera's Plumbing - on a Sunday - and Paxton quickly came over. Much to my amazement, he fixed the issue in less than 30 seconds and taught us what to do the next time it may happen. A quick (and apparently easy, for Paxton) visit, but in that brief time we developed a lot of trust based on Paxton's skill and communication. We'll call Carrera's first for our plumbing needs.

They were promp and reasonably priced.
They helped we out with a clog at one of my rental units and got there within 3 hoirs of calling them.
Appreciate you guys, thx!

Had a clog in our sewer line on a Saturday morning. Carrera's Plumbing was finishing up with one job and were just about to start another one. They came out and snaked our main line--in and out in about 15 minutes. Professional and friendly service!

I saw the good ratings, and decided to give Carerra a try. Phil was great on the phone, diagnosed the issue with my Rheem water heater, and explained exactly how to order the replacement parts using my warranty. I was able to get Rheem to send me both parts, and I called back. The first estimate was something like 200ish for repairs. When I called back they said it sounded more like 370ish for repairs. I was good with the price. The plumber came on site, and he was really wonderful. He installed the 2 pieces in just over a half hour. However, we charged me 425.00$. So, that was some sticker shock, and really, not super professional considering the ease in which the fix was completed, and the estimates provided on the phone. So, in the end, I didn't find my permanent future plumber because I can't really trust them. It's unfortunate because they seem like great humans, but not at all aligned with one another on estimates, or in ensuring they don't surprise customers.

K so thank you YELP for helping me find Carrera's Plumbing! Paxton over-delivered and I am so grateful for his service!! Not only did he fix my existing kitchen faucet, he also installed a new one with the heater and connected both thru my filter. The electricity underneath my sink wasn't working, and he recommended an electrician who also did a stellar job. If you are reading this review, don't look any further. Thanks again Paxton! I'll be calling you soon, I'm sure! haha :)

Paxton took care of a clogged sewage pipe. He arrived in under an hour and took care of the issue. Nice guy, very reasonable. Highly recommend.

12/28/2021

Super helpful and very thorough! Would recommend for all your plumbing needs - they assessed the job and completed it in no time. Just awesome- they will be my only call when I need plumbing help!

I used Carrera's Plumbing for a simple task of unclogging a sink. They did a great job, were friendly and I would definitely recommend them.

Paxton was great! He was able to come same day and quickly resolve the problem with my shower drain. Would definitely recommend!

Terisa G.

Paxton did a super job on two units in our apartment building. Although only one was scheduled, he came early and made time for the second. Efficient and polite, and even wiped the floor clean of his footprints. What more can you ask? He even helped me with Venmo. :)

Leticia A.

Fast, reliable service. Paxton got the job done without a glitch! I've used his company many times in the past and I will continue in the future.

Zoey W.

5/29/2021

I'm writing a review for 2 jobs. One was a bathtub clog and another a tripped earthquake replacement valve. I manage a few small mom & pop apartments in Culver City. For each call, Paxton was able to service them quickly (within a few hours). He was very efficient and didn't over scope the project. A service call is ~$100. Will use him for future needs and update on how those go.

Jesse F.

04/07/2020 12:00:00 SA

Paxton and the crew are the best. He took the time to understand the plumbing issue, quickly diagnose, and simply explain the solution approach.

When we needed to replace a shutoff valve for the building's main water line, Paxton made the swap effortlessly and in record-breaking time.

Would recommend Paxton for any job big/small - and would be my first (and only) call for all things plumbing.

Lori G.

4/14/2021

Based on the reviews, I called Paxton because my water heater stopped working. He put me on facetime and walked me through what to do. His instructions worked, and I am very grateful. No charge. He is a gem!

Paxton did a great job with removal/installation of a new kitchen faucet. Arrived on time within the appointment window, completed the job really quickly and was very polite. Would trust Paxton again and will recommend him to everyone!

Best plumber ever! I needed something that fell down my bathroom drain, within the hour I had it back. These guys are the real deal fair prices and knowledge. Will be keeping their number handy for sure!

Top notch! Very professional and efficient. They came out and repaired our plumbing in no time. Carrera's plumbing rocks, I'm glad we called them.

Mike D.

4/23/2021

I'm a real estate agent and my clients were recently in the process of buying a single family house. The general inspector called out some plumbing items and recommended a plumber come take a look. Paxton and his assistant were available and showed up EARLY. They were efficient and friendly, and had helped another client of mine previously. Great job!

Glenn S.

09/11/2020 12:00:00 SA

I contacted Paxton of Carrera's Plumbing as my tenant had a leak under their sink. Somehow he was able to get to my place within the hour, told me what I needed to purchase, and then returned once I had the new fixture to install it which had its challenges. I am so grateful as he addressed the problem in the very afternoon it was reported. How often does that happen?

I recommend Paxton and will keep his contact information near for the future.

Paxton did a great job putting a new toilet, called him friday evening and saturday morning came and did the job

11/30/2020

I can't tell you how happy I was with Paxton of Carrera plumbing. Not only did he do a great job fixing a broken gas line he also is friendly and very pleasant. His fee for the job was even lower than the other estimates that we received. He came to see the problem as soon as we told him about it and came back very quickly to do the job . His crew were all professional and also pleasant. What more can you ask for in a plumber. He is a great guy and did a great job. I highly recommend Carrera's Plumbing.

Paxton was great! Very friendly, he took the time to assess the problem and gave multiple options for our situation - he was a very straight shooter. I would definitely recommend.

Paxton was very quick to get here and put in a new valve that I had ordered from Amazon. He had texted me the link so I could order the right one. I'm not sure it was exactly the original model valve, but he made it work.

11/08/2020 12:00:00 SA

We called eight different plumbing companies, including three we have used regularly, and no one was able to come out on a Sunday when the pipes backed up and house was full of sewage. We finally hit the jackpot! Paxton came within 30 minutes and took care of everything. He was logical, efficient, friendly, and Covid-safe. He did a good job for a reasonable price, and he understood the meaning of emergency. He will now be our go-to plumber. HIghly recommend. Thank you, Paxton!

Allegra H.

8/13/2021

Paxton was prompt and efficient, he went the extra mile to offer me parts and suggestions for another toilet that he wasn't even fixing. Extremely helpful, I would recommend Paxton for any plumbing job.

David G.

8/18/2020

Paxton was great! He came over to snake a clogged drain. He was quick to work me into his schedule, fair on price, and kept the work area clean. 10/10 would definitely call him again for future needs.

Deborah H.

Professional, reliable, quality workmanship and quick response.
Had the main line snaked, stayed with the problem until it was resolved.
I would hire again.

We had an issue with our hot water heater/ pilot light and Carrera's Plumbing helped service us right away! We called after hours and Paxton arrived promptly at 8 AM the next day. He called 3 different suppliers to find the necessary parts, went to go pick them up, and returned back to our house immediately. He and his assistant were done with the installation in less than 40 minutes! They were quick and efficient at installing the new parts we needed.

Just a few days after our water heater was fixed, our kitchen sink became clogged (go figure!). Once again, we texted Paxton after hours and he responded promptly and scheduled to come back the following day to repair our clogged sink.

I couldn't recommend this plumbing company enough. Paxton is professional, reliable, fast and convenient! Thank you so much Carrera's Plumbing!

Jamie B.

8/24/2020

After being without hot water for five days Paxton came on his first day of vacation to install a new pilot assembly on my water heater. I am so grateful because I also had family coming into town. He was quick and his pricing was great. I am also thankful because I had three other plumbers tell me they would only replace my 6 y/o water heater and would not perform any fixes on it. I couldn't afford to replace it right now and everything I read water heaters last 8-10 years. Paxton will be my first call in the future and I would recommend him to family and friends.

Ari S.

Great service. Fast and reliable! They have come to the rescue multiple times for plumbing issues we've had little or small. Paxton is the man.

My elderly Mom's LADWP bill flagged us there there was either high water usage or a leak. Paxton arrived on time, found a large pond of water under her house and located the leak was from the hot water side of the washer. He efficiently replaced the old galvanized pipe with PEX. His quick actions got the issue resolved quickly. Yes, I would recommend him.0

06/09/2020 12:00:00 SA

Great experience with Paxton and his team! I called on Sunday and he answered and scheduled the next day. The job was finished in less than two hours and was priced very reasonably. We had a clog that for one week resisted all my futile attempts. He wouldn't give up and even after the clog was clear he ensured the pipe was free of debris. Would definitely use his again.

My mother in law had a gas leak and the gas company shut her gas off. I called Paxton and he and his crew were out the next morning. They found 2 really fast, but there were more. They were persistant and found the 3rd and 4th. But by the end of the day, they discovered there was a 5th leak. They work the entire first day, came back the next morning and found the 5th leak. Because the pipe was underground, they worked the entire 2nd day.

I cannot say enough about how professional they were. It was a true pleasure knowing they did excellent work. The following day Paxton called to verify that the gas got turned on and all was ok. He takes pride in his work to an new level. I love the customer service!!! I recommend him with high regards.

Called back quickly, came out when they said they would. Friendly, snaked the floor drain, poured a lot of water down to prove it was really clear. We'll call them again!

Paxton is my go-to plumber. I live in a condo where there is heavy drama between vendors and hoa and the management company and Paxton has helped me sort out the drama on more than one occasion.

This is not really his job as a plumber, but he is level-headed and calm and those qualities go a long way to revealing his mature professionalism and integrity. He's not really a hand holder, he just tells it like he sees it and that's that. Credible.

He and Ryan get the job done with a minimum of muss or fuss, prices are absolutely fair and I feel confident I'm not being upsold or scammed because I'm a stupid woman who knows nothing about plumbing.

Thank You

06/04/2016 12:00:00 SA

Let me be clear and elaborate on yesterday's post:

Me: Chris said you match his old LA rate of $80/hr, that still accurate? And my name is ----, location is Playa Vista

Paxton: I don't work by the hour. I look at the job and give you the numbers

----

The reality - My wife was home when Paxton arrived (not me), and for 15 minutes of looking at the job and giving your numbers, Paxton tried to charge her $115, and when I called him out on this, he admitted that he hadn't shared with me his $98 price and then dropped the amount. He squeezed my wife, who was home with our newborn twins, into paying.

Yes, he helped with the hair removal, but without quoting her (or saying what he intended on doing) he just dropped under the sink and started working. Same with the shower handle situation.

---

I'm all about paying experts fair prices. But this was supposed to be an estimate as I have another plumber coming to check out the issues as well. Paxton flipped it into work right then and there...and that's where I have the problem.

Update (Sunday 6/5/16) - The shower handle started to come loose again.

Rachael K.

11/27/2015

Stopped up kitchen sink the day after thanksgiving - I thought we were going to be sinkless till Monday! I called Carrera Plumbing and he arrived in just about 2 hours.

He worked fast and cleaned up after himself quite nicely and I was really pleased with what he charged.

Highly recommend them!

Paxton is the man! We had a clogged shower drain and kitchen insinkerator. We called Paxton in the morning and he showed up 2 hours later with his tools and a smile. So glad we called him!

I highly recommend Carrera's Plumbing! He's the best out there! He's worked on my house many times and is always on time, very professional, very knowledgable, clean and with a fair price. I've recommended him to many people and they've been extremely happy with his service as well. Can't get any better than that!

02/06/2020 12:00:00 SA

Paxton is a lifesaver! A broken pipe resulted in us having no water at our house and we called him in a panic at the end of the day, just as it was getting dark out. The prospect of being without water overnight was so worrisome, but Paxton set our minds at ease. Even though it was last minute, he was understanding and told us he'd be there as soon as he finished the job he was on. Not only was he quick and responsive, but he also called again right before he arrived to give us a heads up, which I also appreciated. Once he arrived, he was able to diagnose the problem and offer a solution immediately, and then set about working on the pipes, even though it was already dark outside. In no time at all, it was fixed and we had our water restored. So thankful that we called him and so pleased with his work, kindness, and professionalism.

Steve S.

They were able to come same day to fix a clogged toilet. Fixed it super fast and at a reasonable price. Real easy to do business with and friendly, would definitely use again.

Nick C.

7/22/2018

I highly recommend Carrera's! Paxton returned my phone call within 10 minutes on a Saturday night and was able to make time on Sunday to help us out. He was professional, courteous, and transparent while we were troubleshooting the issue. I would not hesitate in calling him again!

Shana T.

01/06/2020 12:00:00 SA

Needed a plumber in 30 minutes. Called Paxton and he call me after 15 minutes and was out in 5 minutes. Was super professional and easy. Never had such an easy experience! Thank you!!!

Bridget P.

8/15/2015

Easy to contact and quick response! Love him! My kitchen sink had a leak, so I called a couple other places, and they were not available. So I called this guy, and he answered, and came within 20 minutes. He looked at the sink issue, fixed it right away, and was out of my hair in no time. Awesome service!

Divij V.

03/06/2019 12:00:00 SA

Paxton is hands down one of the best plumbers in the city. He's such a great person and is always happy to help - and his prices are very reasonable. Would definitely recommend

Scharon P.

11/09/2019 12:00:00 SA

I just had a very positive plumbing experience with Paxton. I had a major leak, Paxton came and fixed it immediately at a great price. He was very kind and made several suggestions on how to keep the plumbing properly maintained. Thank you Carrera's Plumbling

Anuj M.

02/07/2017 12:00:00 SA

Paxton was great - we had a leak through our condo to the downstairs unit and while other party's plumber concluded it as an issue with oir shower drain, Paxton fond another leak behind the washer that was the root cause. His approach helped us save a lot of time and energy that a shower drain leak would have taken. I highly recommend him.

Will T.

03/11/2015 12:00:00 SA

Paxton and Dave are awesome! They're helpful, fast, and super knowledgeable.

I was having work done under the house and spotted a leak. Paxton and Dave came by to help and spotted that my toilet had been improperly installed. They fixed everything up, and cleared a clog to boot, and now everything's working just great. When it comes to plumbing and water in your house, you don't want to screw around -- these guys are the best.

Charles S.

11/14/2014

Gas has been off three days now. The wife is getting tired of walking down to her sister's house to take a shower. I'm smelling ripe. I've called plumbers who I used for the master bath remodel and all I get is advice. I finally start calling every plumber in a 5 mile radius of me through Angie's List. I called Craig's Plumbing. He couldn't come today but he referred me to Carrera's Plumbing. Paxton came out 2 hours later with a second plumber, stayed over an hour, replaced a leaking water heater gas valve and checked all the above ground gas piping and only charged $165.00.

Before I called him I did run a check on his contractor's license at CA Consumer Affairs website license lookup. His license is active and he's bonded.

01/07/2017 12:00:00 SA

Ever since we bought our house we continue to have backups in our main sewer line so I called up Paxton. He identified the location in our sewer line where the issue began and recommended to dig down and replace it. He and a small crew were able to get started immediately (the very next morning). Turned out to be a very major issue where our main sewer line BROKE and shifted 3 inches at the connection with the city sewer . This break was 3' further underground than where we originally identified the issue. I was sure this was going to take a lot longer given how much deeper the issue was than we previously discussed. He and his guys worked double time to get down to the root of the issue, replaced the clay pipe at the city line with new pipe, and filled in the huge hole all in the same day! He did an excellent job, turned it around in the time he quoted, and overall ended up being a VERY reasonable cost.

I'd recommend him for any plumbing job both big and small!

Heather W.

3/21/2015

Paxton and Dave are AMAZING! It's such a pleasure to work with people who have a great deal of integrity and are abundantly knowledgeable about their business. Any plumbing issue, big or small, I have found our permanent go-to pair.

Many thanks for going above and beyond recently with a kitchen faucet replacement. I'm still amazed how you both went the extra mile to ensure a job well done!

Larry A.

Wow, what luck! Pax responded to my issue within half an hour. Had a massive leak under my kitchen sink. Turns out the garbage disposal unit was installed incorrectly damaging the seal. Pax went to the supply store to get the seal. They were going to have to order it and it wouldn't arrive until 4-5 days later. Other option was to buy a whole new unit. Pax solved the problem by buying the unit himself to get the seal and said he would return the unit himself. What a hero. Problem solved same morning with no extra cost or inconvenience to me. Pax turned out to be a super honest guy and got the job done. I will definitely use him again. He's won a loyal customer! Thanks Pax!!! A++++

We have used Paxton and Carrera's Plumbing for many years now. You cannot find a more qualified professional who gives first class service and outstanding results. Paxton is the plumber for our 8 unit condo building and is without a doubt the best. He is hard working and extremely knowledgeable. I cannot say enough good things about him. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. In this day and age it is nice to be able to rely on a professional like Paxton, who takes pride in his work, delivers what he says he will and operates with the utmost integrity.

Paxton came out today because of my slow kitchen sink drain and I thought it needed to be snaked. Nope. Paxton diagnosed the problem immediately. The pipe had so much sludge build up from 25 years that snaking was not the answer. He called his assistant and ordered the parts he needed to completely replace the pipe. This was no easy job. He showed me the old pipe and it was disgusting to see what 25 years of sludge build up looks like. 2 hours later I had a new pipe and kitchen sinks that drained like they should. And all at a reasonable price to say the least! Our old plumber would have charged us double what Paxton charged.

05/08/2018 12:00:00 SA

3 star for price gauging. Hired them because of the reviews but feel ripped off. Came for an hour or two to troubleshoot a few basic plumbing issues (running toilets and a leaking sink). Simple basic stuff. They charged me a service fee PLUS a absurdly high per fixture repair fee instead of at an hourly flat rate like all my other plumbers. Each repair tool maybe 10 minutes. Had I known I would have replaced the flapper valve myself. My fault for not asking big assumed since they were already there the price would be cheaper to do several minor r repairs at once. Nope. They slap me with a $700 bill!!!??? My jaw dropped. I've worked with plumbers for 40 years. Never been so over charged. I was able to negotiate $100 off. Wahoo. But the overall feeling was they are just trying to gauge you for as much money as they can. It doesn't feel ethical or fair. I told him I could never use him again and he didn't seem to care one bit.

Paxton and his son did a great job clearing our backed up shower drain. They arrived quickly and had the job done fast. Good guys! Very happy! Thank you!

Bradley P.

6/24/2016

Paxton's local to my area and I've been able to use his service on a couple of commercial projects. His prices are fair, not the cheapest but he's not trying to rip you off either, I can understand that he needs to make a profit. You have to allow guys like him to make it worth their while otherwise you wouldn't have quality plumbers anymore. Needless to say each time I've hired him it was done right and on time. That's the whole battle with contractors these days...

Dakota C.

1/26/2018

Very professional attitude, and yet friendly as well. Went straight down to business, and fixed the problems I had without any hiccups, the response to my call was extremely good, since I had called a lot of company plumbing services and they were all busy, definitely recommend this dynamic duo.

Brent K.

6/24/2016

Paxton came to the rescue! He squeezed us in same day and fixed our toilet. He came on time and got the job done without any issues. He carefully asked for my consent before charging us any money which we really appreciated. Hopefully I won't need a plumber too often but when I do I will call Paxton.

01/06/2017 12:00:00 SA

QUICK, QUALITY SERVICE!
I called at 6am and Paxton answered my call, arrived within the hour and fixed my bathtub in even less time. Price was fair too. Definitely recommend!

Martha J.

1/31/2018

Paxton and his assistant Ryan were an amazing standout in a sorry field of local plumbers. I needed help quickly and had already wasted time dealing with a rude, entitled, overpriced plumber and many others that were just unavailable despite their advertising. Paxton was somehow able to get out here very quickly, assessed and explained the problem thoroughly and accurately, gave me a good bid, and fixed everything efficiently, courteously, and right on time. My new go-to plumber!

Jay S.

12/07/2015 12:00:00 SA

This my go to Plummer! Paxton is the man! He is on time, super fair and very dependable. I had a hose that would not come off my washing machine (and I was on the verge of having to cut the water off for my whole building) Paxton showed up and was able to solve the issue-without cutting the building's water.

Greg K.

12/28/2018

Carrera's Plumbing is hands-down the best plumbing company. Paxton is always on-time, professional, and knowledgeable. The work is well done and he always cleans up properly as well. Carrera's has completed over a dozen jobs for us on both single family residences and apartment units; jobs big and small. Highly recommend.

Shane M.

9/21/2015

Came through for me when I needed help! My sink backed up on a Sunday night about 8:00 PM. I did a quick scan of plumbers in the Culver City/LA area and found only one with all reviewers giving 5 stars: Carrera's Plumbing. I called expecting to leave a message but Paxton answered in person. I made an appointment for the next day and Paxton arrived on time, figured out the problem, snaked out the drain, and put everything back together again with no mess or fuss. Pricing was very reasonable. I have a very busy schedule and could only take off a few hours from work to attend to this problem. Paxton made it work for me with my schedule, and fixed everything as good as new. I am incredibly impressed! All of the reviews are true--this business is the real deal. Paxton is an amazing professional who knows what he is doing and is a great human being to deal with.

Paxton and Rob were great. They arrived as scheduled and took a look at the plumbing for the shower since the water temp was off kilter. They looked at the pipe system, quickly zeroed in on the problem, adjusted the valve, answered all our questions, and the shower works like new. Thanks for running an honest business and for a job well done!

Drip in my kitchen faucet driving me nutz and finally had to call it in. Had an expectation of what I was going to wind up paying and it seemed to fall in line. Paxton answered the phone when I called. We made the appointment for next day and he showed up on time. Diagnosed the problem and shared it with me so I understood. He had to run to the store to pick up the part since it was a specialty faucet. Came right back, installed. Done and fixed.

Not sure it could have gone any better. Highly recommend.

These guys don't mess around. Solid team of people, came the same day and fixed all my issues in less than 30 minutes. Their catchphrase doesn't lie, they do keep all your pipes and vents flowing.

It was a Saturday and I needed to have my kitchen faucet replaced. I came up from Orange County since this job was for a tenant occupied residence. Two plumbers cancelled on me that day. One cancelled at 10:45am and the other around 2:30pm. I was hoping to get it done Saturday so I would not have to come back but it was looking like I might have wasted my day. I contacted Paxton as well as several other plumbers (using yelp) to see if anyone could come out the same day. He came through and came within the hour window he gave me. He ran into an issue and stayed later into the evening than he had to planned to to make sure he finished the job and did it correctly. His price was very fair. He gave me a rough estimate but was also clear he likes to look at the job for an actual quote. Final price was in the ballpark and very reasonable for the amount of time he spent. He was professional and courteous.

Paxton and his crew are great. He's responsive, easy going and friendly (can't emphasize this enough, especially when on my end I've been stressed out and feeling frantic). I've had him work on a number of issues (blockage, leaks... some minor, some major) and he's been very reasonable on the cost. A few times I've had him check out other things and he's told me how I can DIY and save on costs.

I've also had him and his crew work on electrical issues (installing a new outlet, fixing hazardous wiring).

I highly recommend.

PAXTON is awesome! I had guests all the way from Japan staying over and my shower clogged up out of the blue. Panicky, I yelped around, found Carrera and called around 8:30AM. Paxton arrived around 1 1/2 hours later and totally got the clog out. Turns out we had to go to the back and snake from behind the house. Thank gosh. and the price was great, only $155.

Paxton has done 2 jobs for me the second one today. I called him last minute for an emergency pipe breakage and both times he came right out, diagnosed the problem and fixed it quickly. He is very professional and does the job right. His price was fair both times. And he's a great guy as well. I have never written a yelp review before but felt compelled to do so today. If you need a Plummer this is the guy to get.

My son moved into a townhome and upon replacing the kitchen sink discovered the shutoff valves were leaking and needed to be replaced. I called in the morning and by 2 pm Paxton came to the home and replaces all of the valves. He was extremely busy with other clients but communicated with me throughout the day to let me know he would come to fix the problem. He did a great job, and was very helpful.

Paxton is THE MAN! David and Mike are A++ too! Call if you need anything done correctly, timely, and fairly priced.

Our story..
We had a leak detected in the front yard and needed to fix it. Our gas has been shut off for 3 days and 2 nights. We. Are. Freezzziiingg! Initially I had the home warranty plumber come take a peek. He identified the problem and was going to return last night to fix the patch job. He never showed. I tried a couple other plumbers and either they couldn't hack it, or didn't respond.
Then I called Carreras (cue angelic saviour music) and Paxton came over. He found the leak in a hidden gas pipe. (previous owner didn't disclose this old pipe). Fixed it. Rerouted the old/bad/undisclosed pipe to the newer/known pipe that had the earthquake shut off valve. He and crew were here for 10.5 hours and were exceptionally professional, hardworking, thorough, and solved the problem. We will now have heat, hot water, and a working house again.
Paxton, we sincerely appreciate everything you did for us tonight. You're truly an plumbing angel, and will always be our first plumber to call.

Why is it always Friday at 5:00 when something goes wrong at the office?
Finding Carrera's Plumbing on Yelp, and actually making immediate contact with a real person; who could help me; right now - well let's just say I felt a measure of redemption.
Paxton arrived within 25 minutes of my call and was able to put a stop to the problem, and gracious enough to return on Monday morning with the necessary parts (rather than hold me up till 7 on a Friday).
As promised and on time, he arrived on Monday - in and done and on his way with a smile.
Excellent service and at an amazingly reasonable cost.
Would highly recommend.

Paxton saves the day again. I was having yet another drainage issue (Stupid tree roots) so I called Paxton and he fixed it same day for a super reasonable sum. Can't go wrong with him! Recommend even more highly than before.

Highly recommend!!! I had a backed up sewer line today and Paxton visited immediately to fix the problem, and he made the extra effort to remove the debris clogging the drain. Fast, efficient, and I learned a great deal about sewer lines and the necessity for clean out taps.

Four and a half stars. I have to say, it's very very rare that I give five stars to anyone still open. Please don't hate me. (: (What is it about nostalgia that makes a place worth more when it's gone?)

Paxton was great. He had plastic slip-on covers for his shoes when I asked. He was gung-ho about solving the clogged drain line problem and he solved it.

He had to leave and return in order to get his other snake, and he nearly opted to remove a toilet to avoid doing so, which could have led to all kinds of complications and possible extra charges, so I'm glad he decided to leave and come back.

He was very fair about sticking to his phone estimate. I even used the yelp deal and that worked smoothly. He was about 20 minutes later than promised, but for a last-minute emergency call where he put his own plans aside, that's not bad at all!

Pax is amazing!!! Super friendly and efficient. Our kitchen disposal was broken and clogged as well as our bathroom sink and he took care of them quickly and thoroughly. We had the same issues a few months back and called a different plumbing service but they obviously hadn't solved the problem. We called on a Saturday morning and he came over within the hour. Would highly recommend!

I can't say enough about Paxon. We've had to call him twice. Once because our kitchen drain was clogged and the second time because our garbage disposal was busted.

Both times, Paxon was clear about what our options were and what the problems were. He predicted that the kitchen sink was clogged due to buildup over time and not due to anything we did (our landlord accused us as such... another story altogether). After trying to snake it, the old pipes started leaking. As he was cutting open the pipes he showed us the buildup that was occurring... it was pretty gross. He spent a good amount of time because it was just a lot of work taking out the pipes and replacing them.

With the garbage disposal he said it was just way past its last legs. The flywheel inside was rusted and falling apart. He did a quick replacement installation and we were good to go!

I should note that each time we called, he was there the same day to fix the issue.

Highly recommend him!

If i could give zero stars i would. I don't understand all the good reviews. Our condo had a block in the main line and someone came out to fix it. When it occured again the next week, we called them out again to either snake the main line again or diagnosis if we needed a more serious procedure dobe. The guy first tried to say that it wasnt covered under a warranty (not true) and after some arguing he finally came out and grumbled his way through another snaking which took care of the issue. He was rude to everyone and the funny thing was, he kept talking about all the residents as if we wrnt going to discuss and find out that he was talking about everyone! Worst service and dishonest.

Paxton and David were wonderful! Patient, answered every question and explained to me in detail everything that was going on. The more questions I had the more patience they had! Absolutely AMAZING service! I'll never have to look for another plumber because I'll use Carrera's plumbing for all my plumbing needs as well as recommending Carrera's to others.

We had a bathtub that decided to clog up when we had out of town guests arriving in a few hours. Paxton told us he would drop by as soon as he finished up another job. and he came over within the hour. We'll definitely use him again.

I was referred to Carrera's Plumbing by another plumber that i called. Pax came to my home within the hour. He corrected to leak under the sink in my bathroom in 15 min. and the cost was fair, under 100.00 bucks. He was courteous and professional. a definite quality guy:) I will keep his card handy for sure.

Wow!
After getting an $1,220 estimate from highly rated Angies List Plumber, Southland Plumbing (see my review there), I called Craig's Plumbing, also highly rated.
Craig was swamped, and referred me to Paxton at Carrerra's Plumbing.
What a GREAT referral, (thanks Craig!).
Paxton returned my voicemail promptly, and was available as early as 6 AM the next morning.
He arrived promptly at 6 AM, evaluated the situation, listened to my analysis, and after a few minutes of testing the water flow between toilet, sink, and tub, determined where the blockage was.
He used his heavy duty snake to unclog the blockage, through the sink, as the overflow drain design on the tub prevented using it.
Voila! within two minutes, Paxton reeled in his snake with the guilty hairball, and testing the drain gave him the sound he said plumbers love to hear, the sucking sound of water going down the drain.

In addition, Pax, at no extra charge, checked my handiwork in the crawlspace, where I had detached the J-trap, and snaked myself, to no avail, to ensure there were no leaks. (there weren't, but he pointed out that there was a gap in the tub overflow drain where water was dripping.

Finally, and also at no charge, Paxton investigated the leak on my hot water handle of my pedestal sink. Unfortunately, the fixture had been attached to the sink prior to placing it against the wall, and Paxton was unable to remove it without taking the entire sink out.

BOTTOM LINE... I have a new plumber...

Carrera's Plumbing was recommended to me by a friend after I waited 10 days to have my water heater fixed by a horrible company! I called Pax at 6pm and by 930am the next morning I had a brand new working water heater, and he saved me 350$. Paxton was quick, efficient, and doesn't try and rip you off. By the reviews on here you can tell he's mostly word of mouth and I would highly recommend him.

12/07/2013 12:00:00 SA

My garbage disposal stopped working and was backing up into my dishwasher. I called up Carrera's and Paxton answered the phone. He was over in 10 minutes and had the problem figured out. He was extremely helpful and friendly. I would recommend them to everyone.

I called on Thanksgiving and I thought I would leave a message but he answered! He came over but the power had just gone out. When it came back on an hour later he came back and fixed my clogged sink. Amazing experience and Carrera's Plumbing will be my first and only call from now on! Thank you for saving the day:))))

They are fast and efficient, and most importantly their rates are fair. 2 pipes and 3 checks (our water heater and sinks) only costed $110. I called them after I called several plumbing company and failed to get anyone to come promptly. I called them, they quickly set up a time, and came early in the morning. I'll recommend them to my friends

I finally found an honest plumber! I recently had plumbing problem, I called Paxton, and the problem went away quickly and painlessly at a fair price. That's all I ever wanted in a plumber, but he actually did more than that! He gave me some advice on what to do to avoid a future call to him, meaning he didn't try to create more business for himself, or try to sell me copper pipes, etc to generate $$$ like other companies. You gotta love it!

I had a fairly immediate need to resolve multiple sink clogs, but had limited availability to meet a plumber. I was referred to Paxton and he showed up to my home in 45 minutes and had the problem resolved in 30 minutes. He did a great job, was very easy to work with, fairly priced and honest. Doesn't get better than that. Will definitely be my first call for anything plumbing related going forward.

So I had 2 drainage problems, 1 in the bathroom sink and a jammed garbage disposal. I decided to call Pax based on other yelp reviews and he did not disappoint. He came within a couple hours even though it was supposed to be his day off. Super fast service and fixed both problems easily. Not only that, he fixed the problem that the last plumber, jack Stephen plumbing, didn't fix. Not to mention he was super chill and friendly. I would definitely recommend him for your plumbing needs. Thanks again Pax!

I called Carrera's Plumbing because of the great reviews on Yelp, and was pleased with the service in general. Paxton took my call right away, and came by that very morning to fix my two shower drains. He and his colleague were polite and professional. I asked about needing to fix a kitchen faucet and they told me that it didn't need fixing right then. They cleaned up afterwards so there was no mess and gave me a helpful tip on cleaning my heating vent. The cost, however, was higher than I expected ($165 for 20-25 minutes of work). I felt taken aback by this especially after seeing the lower costs other reviewers were charged on Yelp for a similar time frame, and it didn't feel quite like a fair price. But I'm happy that the work is done and I appreciated the quick and efficient response.

My toilet was leaking and after making it worse when I tried to fix it, I desperately called plumbers to come ASAP. Carrera's was the only business that could offer same day service. Paxton said he would arrive in 1 hour, and sure enough, he was true to his word. He was able to fix my toilet, replace the necessary parts, which he already had with him, and was out the door in 30 minutes. Cost was $110 total. I am very pleased and will definitely be a repeat customer.

I found Pax on yelp and decided to give him a call based on his high rating, and yelp did not disappoint. He lived up to his rating. We had a leak in our basement and I did not know where it was coming from so I called Pax and he came out that same day to look at it. He determined that it was coming from our water heater. He found a replacement heater and was back the next day to install it. He was very professional and did a great job!

I had a toilet back up last night at 5:00, the night before 4th of July weekend. The worst. I called a couple plumbers in the area but Paxton was the only one to be understanding and come after hours as soon as he was free. He was up on the roof, snaking out the sewer pipe all the way to the street in a matter of minutes. He's just the kind of plumber you would like to have in your area. Friendly, honest, no pressure, and the price was reasonable. Thanks Paxton.

I contacted Carrera's Plumbing and spoke with Paxton. I had a clog in my toilet that i could not get fixed myself. It was getting worse and water kept leaking out of the toilet and going into my carpet. Within 20 minutes Paxton came over and fixed the problem quickly. Paxton's response saved me because my carpet was also getting wet from all the plumbing and i had less damage from it. I would recommend Paxton you anyone. Thanks!!

I was referred to Carrera's by another plumber who had a full schedule. I had a pipe that was leaking under my concrete patio. Pax was honest telling me the least expensive way to fix it and also telling me what would be necessary for the larger fix. I appreciated that he gave me options. He also snaked a drain for me - one from my washer that was backing up. Overall he seemed honest, was on time and fixed my problems. His prices seemed fair or in line with what I have paid in the past. One thing I did not like is that he did not seem to have set prices- he sort of just pulled them out of the air. Also I told him that I had the yelp coupon at the end and he seemed a bit put off by this - telling me that the price he quoted was before he knew I had the coupon. I get it - he would have charged me more if he knew I had the coupon but that isn't what the coupon is for. So that is the only thing I didn't like. Otherwise he was pretty good.

I admittedly used Carrera's Plumbing initially because of their proximity to my home. But now Paxton has become my go-to plumber because of his knowledge and efficiency. He is prompt, professional yet also personable. A real straight-shooter. He takes pride in his work, a rarity with many in his profession (indeed with many professions!) If he does not get the job done the first time, as was the case once, he will come back and stay till it's done right. When our water heater went out just before my wife and I were expecting overnight guests, he worked overtime to have it in place before their arrival. When we needed advice on plumbing issues with an out-of-state rental, Paxton readily gave it--indeed, spoke over the phone with the plumber himself to make sure we weren't getting ripped off. I just wish he did electrical as well!

Looked for a plumber on Yelp and arranged for one to come out for a suspected leak. The other company promised to come but didn't, and after calling them several times hours after they had promised to arrive, I chose a different plumber -- Carrera's Plumbing. When I called, Dax was just finishing with another customer but was coming within 30 minutes. He arrived promptly with his guys, and looked at my issue (water pooled outside the house and not going down) and found the problem (broken pipe) and fixed it. I found the rate to be very reasonable -- I was actually expecting them to charge more. Then I asked them to fix my kitchen sink, where the cold water was barely coming out. This was more challenging, but they managed to fix it without breaking through the outside wall of the house, which I was concerned about. They had to replace part of the old vertical pipe and go under the house and it was more difficult than it looked. This was also a reasonable rate, considering the time it took and what was involved. All of this to say, Pax was very knowledgable, PATIENT, friendly, considerate, and also has a sense of humor. Very pleased with the work, rate, and service!
