Daniel's Plumbing And Son

I am currently a tenant in Long Beach area (Belmont Heights).  I consider myself qualified to review home repairs as I am a 35+ homeowner (Laguna Beach), comparable value as these beautiful Belmont Heights homes.  I've remodeled/improved my property and a residential/commercial property manager for many years.
Daniel's Plumbing has worked on improvement projects on this property since early 2021.  On every visit they have left the day's work without checking that services they have interrupted are operational .....  
My account is that they have NEVER LEFT MY UNIT functional.  Hot water...Kitchen water not reinstated....INFERIOR plumbing fixtures installed.  
I had to purchase a kitchen faucet to replace the small sub-standard utility sink faucet they left me on my kitchen sink.
IF YOU USE THIS COMPANY, stand over them as they work, check that everything is working before they leave, i.e. water to faucets, bathroom, hot water working,  SHOW THEM WHAT FIXTURES TO INSTALL AS THEY DO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.   Good Luck.  I love remembering what good honest service was back in the day.

I needed a plumber to replace the main water pipe from the street (city source) to my house. I contacted 4 different plumbers. The first (one recommended here) advised me I had a bigger problem because I had to deal with the city first. The second wanted to charge a weekend fee because they don't do inspections on weekends. The third, the regional supervisor was supposed to call me back to arrange an inspection date. He never called back. Finally, I contacted Daniel's Plumbing. Jesus came over as scheduled. He evaluated the problem. He explained to me in detail the problem and thoroughly explained his recommendations. After consulting with his boss, they gave me as estimate which I felt was fair and reasonable. My main water pipe was replaced as scheduled. Everyone was friendly, accommodating and professional. If I need a plumber in the future, I will definitely call Daniel's Plumbing and no one else!

SooooO Happy they were on time, fixed to sink and all done!
Hard to found good service these days.
Wonderful Service guys!

Daniel's Plumbing is legit.  I had contacted him since one of my toilets were clogged and needed it to be fixed ASAP.  He was able to accommodate me  right away and get it taken care of quickly.   After fixing the first toilet, they took time to check on the other toilets to make sure the problem didnt move from one drain to the other.  Very impressed.

Costs were lower than competitors and he was able to give me quotes over the phone rather than get charged a fee for coming out and seeing what the issues were.

We called two days in advance to make absolutely sure they would be here at 9 AM Monday because we had a very important meeting later that day. Incredibly, they showed up at 10 AM. When they weren't finished, they had to come back and they actually had the nerve to train charges $50 for the return trip that was caused by their original tardiness! On top of that, they ran hour and a half late back to finish the job!

Yes they did the job, but they don't seem to understand that being on time and charging the agreed-upon amount is not the customer's responsibility. It is their responsibility. If you enjoy plumbers who show up an hour and a half late, then you'll love these guys. Otherwise, find someone else.

Excellent company. Experienced techs. Quick response. Affordable prices. After Pete's plumbing tried lying and stealing, I called these guys. What a breath of fresh air.

SO UNPROFESSIONAL! Don't hire these guys. They don't know what they are doing. They say and quote you one thing, and then say and quote a completely different thing when they show up to do the job. And when they screw up, they are rude and unapologetic. Both my neighbor and I took a day off of working to wait for them to fix an issue. They show up and can't do the job! Instead of trying to help or even apologizing, they blame me for their screw up and then told me to call another plumber. That's exactly what I did! I would never use this company. No customer service and completely unprofessional.

Called and made appt for next day. Need a lot of plumbing work, different issues.
They said they'd come 8am-11am window. They would come give estimates and possibly begin some of the work. They also said they would call 20 minutes out. 11:30 and no call....nothing. I called, they had no explanation.
Sorry, that's very unprofessional in my opinion. I wouldn't trust them with another 3 hours of my life waiting for another appointment.

*ATTENTION ALL PROPERTY OWNERS & POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS*

This is a vendor that was hired by Beach Cities Management to fix a drainage clog. They left left Feces and urine on our KITCHEN floor for over 24 hours after their plumbers botched our downstairs toilet and kitchen sink (photos attached).

They caused the initial damage, and sent someone back to fix it. Well when they did, they left his mess behind.

Please do not use them. They left without saying anything as well.

The owner is a liar in the comment section below, and I've also uploaded a photo of the invoice that property management charged us to have someone clean-up their mess. So, not only will they leave a mess, they are willing to lie about it publicly. Read the other one star reviews, there is a trend! Don't give them your business!

This is by far my favorite plumbing company ever. They came within the hour of my emergency call. My pipe had burst and water was going everywhere. I'm so glad I chose this company because they did not waste any time and had everything as good as new within a short amount of time.  They were unbelievably professional, respectful and efficient.

Daniel's Plumbing installed washer and dryer hookups in my condo which were not there before. Working with them was absolutely fantastic. From the very beginning, all the guys were knowledgable, efficient, and super responsive. I was so impressed with their work and I'm so happy with the finished product. I was referred to them by a friend and now I will use them for all my future plumbing needs.

I have nothing but good remarks for this plumbing company.  They are a family business and truly strive to satisfy their customers.  We had several quotes to repair a broken gas leak but Daniels Plumbing was the most reasonable, doing it the right way with permits (neither of the other plumbers said they would get permits).  The job was completed without delay and I couldn't be happier.  I will continue to use this plumbing company for any future repairs!

My property management company sent them out so I figured cheap cheap and lousy service like every other contractor they send my direction that showed up late and did shoddy work.   I'm a contractor myself and understand that it's not that hard to respect your customers and run a good business, Unfortunately, sooo many just don't get it.  

These guy called me within an hour of my request and gave me several options for a next day appointment.    Then, Wow!  They actually called me with a 20min Eta, showed up on time and had the right equipment to fix the job within minutes.  And because my cheap landlord paid for it, I know the price was reasonable :)

From one small business owners to another,  way to go guys!

The main line from the city to  our house sprung a leak/flood, we called the City because we could not turn off the water. My husband is a handyman and has done the upkeep on our 1921 Craftman home. The City did come and turned off the main. However, we needs a plumber.I contacted Daniel's Plumbing and am very glad I did. They came late yesterday and told us what we needed. The price was very reasonable and Daniel's team was at the house by 8:00 the next morning.they quoted us a price and the estimate was accurate. They were nice, clean and efficient. I will recommend them to anyone who needs emergency and not emergency services great company!

We use Daniel's Plumbing for our property management business and have been very happy with how they are honest with their prices, they show up when we need them, and they seem to do a good job. If anything goes wrong with a job (which is rare), they will come back quickly and make it right for no extra charge.

I've been using Mr Ochoa and his sons on my rental properties for years now and they are amazing!
I don't only own rental properties but I also sell real estate and they have helped many of my clients with their plumbing issues. (residential, apartments, light commercial)
Great, company and group of guys!
Keep on doing the great work Mr Ochoa and thanks again.

Came out quickly.  Extremely professional.  Explained issues and provided options for solutions.  Will definitely use them again.

I contacted 6 plumbers and they all quoted me ridiculous prices... Daniel's plumbing and Son had extremely fair prices for what I needed installed, which was a 20 gallon electric water heater. He even recommended a good electrician to get the water heater running since 3 of the electricians I tried to hire failed to show up. I was extremely happy with the work and the fair prices... I will definitely be giving them a call for my future plumbing needs.

This company needs to realize there is real competition out there for plumbers now! Guess I'm calling Mike Diamond. But really, my second star is for the first man and his son that came out. They were very nice and informative. I got a call the next day saying they're going to send a more experienced plumber to do a second walk through. I told him he needs to call the owner and tell her they were coming back out which he never did.
The second guy that came out was walking around my house turning nozzles on and off walking in my gate without KNOCKING or ASKING! Wtf. He stepped all over my bushes and ruined them, broke my hose and the door to my crawl space! Guys! Get it together, and get better more considerate people working for you. Unbelievable.

We had a main sewer line blockage at my house, all the drains stopped. We couldn't shower. We couldn't use the toilet. We called another plumbing company first, they got out here really quickly truth be told. They tried snaking the line which didn't work. Then they ran a camera inspection to see what was wrong. After that they said my drain pipes needed to have a Jetter cleaning done. I agreed and they ran their machine. It cost me over $800 and later that week my drains were clogged again! This company said they would charge again to come out so I called another company. Daniel's brought a Jetter that was so much larger and more impressive than the first plumbers that I couldn't believe they could both be called Jetters. Daniel's said they had to run their camera because they couldn't trust the first guys. This was the only negative, mostly because I had to pay for something I already had done and had pictures of. Daniel's said they had to run their own so I said fine. They ran their machines for 20 minutes and they cleared the entire drain line. They ran their camera again afterwards and it was totally clean. As I said the only negative was that I had to pay twice for the camera since I had the pictures of the problem. But Daniel's did give me a good price at $600.

Daniel and Steve have been wonderful! We just bought a house in Long Beach and haven't had any luck finding a plumber that we can trust. Since using these guys things have been great. They have reasonable pricing, and most importantly they don't try to rip you off. They fixed clogging issues in both my kitchen sink and shower. We will continue to use this company whenever we have any plumbing issues and I highly recommend them!

Quick response, fair prices, and quality work. Called them because the pipes under the kitchen sink had sprung a leak. I always read these reviews with a slightly skeptical approach but these guys were fantastic. Will definitely recommend them to friends.

Terrible awful thieves!!! DO NOT USE THESE GUYS. No shows no call. And i paid!!!!  I got ripped off and im furious!!!

I wish I could give a HIGHER rating, but honestly, my experience was Meh at best.  I was referred to this company by the former homeowner of my home.  My new home needed a new liner within the sewer line (root intrusions and offset pipe).  They offered the best bid for the job required, and that made them very attractive.  Initial communications with them were great, they replied back to in a timely manner.  That's really why they even received 2-stars.  The part that really prevented them from earning more is actual work performed.  I was told the work will only take 1 full day.

Day 1, their technicians arrived, I met with them, left my payment on the kitchen counter for them, gave them my number in case they have any questions while I stepped out of the house during their repair.  (so far, so good, right?)  Well, around 4:30pm (close to end of day), I get a call from the technician's supervisor and was informed that the work was not finished due to a misinformation of what city my home was in (Lakewood or Long Beach).  WELL, if someone had called me right from the start, I would have immediately clarified what city we belong to in order to finish the work that day.  BUT NO, they waited until the end of the day to ask.  All the while, nothing was being done at my home (ALL DAY).  

When I came home that day, I come to find the side of my house all in disarray.  My Crawl space access was left OPEN and EXPOSED, my planter section is dug up and dirt is everywhere, and caution tape is strewn across my plants, and on top of that, because they haven't finished the job, I was NOT able to use water within the house.  Basically, the work never even began on Day 1.  

Day 2, they come back out to finish, but alas, when I came home later in the day, I see my yard is still in disarray with Crawl space access still Open, Caution tape and dirt everywhere.  I reach out to the technician this time, and was told he had to take a break (for the rest of the day) due to oncoming heat exhaustion.  That, I totally understand.  He promised to come back later or tomorrow to close up my crawl space access.  

Day 3, NO SHOW and my check was cashed by this time, but the work has not been 100% completed.  This is where it really pushed me to the edge.   had to send a heated email to their office, regarding what's been happening.

Day 4, finally a technician shows up and closes up the crawl space (the end).

In the end, it took a total of 4 Days for the entire project to finish (start to finish).  Moral of the story is, if the price is TOO GOOD to be true, it most likely is.

I used Daniel's Plumbing's services today to unclog my backed-up kitchen sink. I called at 7:30am, and the technician was at my home in less than an hour. The job took much longer than expected due to unforeseen circumstances (condominium plumbing and water issues), and another technician had to be called in to help. They were able to troubleshoot, fix the problem, and clean up the space efficiently and professionally. They were very gracious and fair in their pricing. I will definitely use Daniel's Plumbing again, if the need arises.

So yesterday we had some MAJOR plumbing problems and 2 rooms of our house flooded.  DISASTER!  The first guys that were sent out by our rental agency were an inferior plumbing company (Pro-Connect plumbing in Anaheim).  They were horrible, treated my husband like dirt and didn't fix the problem. Then the rental agency sent out the guys from Daniel's.  They got here sooo quickly (they were contacted after 5 and got here within the hour....WOW!!) They were very clean, nice and professional and diagnosed the problem within a few minutes and had us up and running so that we could use the toilets and shower. They fixed things that the other plumbing company said could not be fixed. They'll be coming back later today to do some more work to make sure we don't have this problem again.  Great guys, very personable and they really know their stuff.  Thanks guys, you really helped us out!

Not certain if I can evaluate their work because they never got a chance to do it. But service is terrible.  Set up appointment and service tech arrived and evaluated the issue. He didn't have the part needed to do the job. Said he would send an estimate for the parts and labor via text/email. Waited 3 days and I called them about the estimate, their dispatcher apologized and said they would call me back. That was 3 weeks ago.  Contacted Prodigy Plumbing, work completed that same day

I own a 4 plex and have used Daniel's on a few plumbing projects. They have always treated me fairly and squarely. I called them yesterday about a wall unit (heater,) I have had it looked at by two other companies and it was never fixed properly and was still not putting out the right amount of heat. They sent Jimmy, he was great!! Very knowledgable and he finally figured it out. The price was fair and now my wife will be happy with a warm house. I wish I called them first but I didn't think they serviced those, I thought I would ask and boy did they know how. Great company!!

Need a plumber? Gotta use Daniel! Do it yourself plumbing is no piece of cake! After about a week of trying it my way, trying to save some money...I decided to call Daniel. He came an hour after I placed the call! He diagnosed the problem and the following day came by and got it fixed.

But more so than fixing the issue (I'm sure all plumbers can), the guy is a real Stand Up Gentleman.  He's not there to sell another issue that needs fixing. He's there to resolve ones specific concerns. And the cool part is that his prices are more than fair!  Thanks Daniel for tremendous work!

I guess I should have read the reviews first. Now I can see why recent reviews have given this business low ratings. This business is not reliable and is not ready to meet with customers. I scheduled an appointment between 8:00-10:00 am and they never showed up. I waited almost 3 hours. I called several times and spoke with Tony, he said the plumber will be at my place before 10:00 am. They never showed up. Tony didn't even make a courtesy call to let me know they weren't coming. This shows what type of customer service they offer. In a way, I am glad I found out now then later. I spoke with Tony at 10:40am he said the reason why his plumber didn't show up was due to the coronavirus. This was even sadder to hear that Tony would use the coronavirus as an excuse of not showing up. I told Tony if they are not prepared to meet with customers they should at least inform their callers in advance that they are not ready to do business. They should not make appointments if they can't meet with customers.  They just wasted my time and now I have to wait another day or 2 to get another plumber.

They did a horrible job left a mess and besides the point they were a few days behind I felt like I was over charged for what! Not happy

I'm not sure if this is a real company or not. They seem friendly and knowledgeable on the phone. I approached them because their reviews were good and their license was in good standing. Initially, I left a message to schedule a time for them to come by and give me a quote on a fairly sizable job. No-one returned my calls (I guess this should have been a hint). Next, I called to get pricing on a garbage disposal installation. I was happy with the quote and scheduled them to come out the following Monday (I called on Thursday). They gave me a 2-5pm window, which is still a pretty big time-frame to have your customers waiting. No call, no show - 3 hours of wasting my time. Very disappointing, very unprofessional, very sad to see local business owners treating local homeowners so badly.

We notified our property management company that we had a clogged drain and then had Daniel's Plumbing give us a call. They came to our apartment the next day and snaked our drain. They were fast and professional.

Quick response, trustworthy, good prices, and overall a great licensed plumbing company.  Keep up the great work!!!

Manuel did an amazing job today, my bathroom tub was backed up and he fixed it. He was really nice and extremely helpful! Thank you again!

They have either cancelled or been late on more than one occasion. Who does business like this? If you have the option to go elsewhere, DO IT. We were told to expect our water to be off for a two hour time frame in the mid morning close to noon. It didn't get shut off until way after, which was a major inconvenience in my home. I highly recommend NOT using them.

Daniel's Plumbing came out after hours on New Year's Eve with short notice. They were friendly, worked quickly, and resolved my issue. I will definitely use them again.

We had a tenant issue after hours and we called 8 other plumbers.  Some picked up promising to get someone out there...only to call 20min later to decline sending someone out.  Daniel Plumbing and son were the only people able to respond.  Not only did an actual person pick up the phone, but they also took care of it within the hour.  Im extremely impressed by their level of service.  Would recommend to anyone.

My cousin needed a gas valve for a washer/dryer hook up. We found Art and called him immediately. When speaking to him on the phone, he was very professional and promised to come the same day to fix the issue. Art is very friendly and knowledgeable about his craft.  He came in and worked quickly and efficiently got the job done.  Plus, Art has great (extremely reasonable) priced services.

I definitely recommend him for any plumbing service needs! (Especially if you're in the Long Beach area)

(This is not the first time I've had problems with Daniel's plumbing......and the backstory on this review is that originally Johnnies Appliance service tech correctly diagnosed my washer was fine and there was a clog in my pipe, which was a plumbing issue. So I contacted Daniel's plumbing to inspect / fix the issue....which brings the story below...)

FYI DO NOT!!! I REPEAT, DO NOT HIRE DANIELS PLUMBING AND SON INC. (1370 Redondo Ave, LB)!  They inspected my drainage and found no issue, yet when I used my washer the water was still flooding.... I literally had to run my washer and time it to catch where the water was leaking from during the rinse cycle to find the problem myself weeks after they left. And when I called stating that I found the problem for them to solve since they claimed no issue previously, they wouldn't help me unless I could get my property manager to approve the work.....MY GUY, THIS IS THE SAME JOB THAT YOU DIDN'T COMPLETE. After calling my own property manager and claiming an emergency flooding (the only way to get Pabst Kinney Property Management to do anything) they had Daniels plumbing out there the same day, who then snaked the pipe I showed them and told me the clog was caused by lint over over time and was NOT MY FAULT.  asked how I could have prevented this issue and they told me to get a netting to go over my laundry washer discharge nozzle (a mesh netting), and notified me that they would have given me one if they had one but told me I could get it at Walmart. I asked them to tell Pabst Kinney as I do too much around this house with no help and they said they would....now I'm writing this review and have to email Pabst Kinney because they sent me a bill for $195.00, stating that Daniel's plumbing said the issue was a rag in the pipe and was the tenant's fault ....man this is irritating.

These guys are great. They handle what I need done quickly and efficiently. They're Prices are competitive as well.

Thanks for this company they fixed a leaking pipe the same day! Was a life saver! I would highley recommend this company if your looking for fast snd efficient service. Look forward to giving them a call if i ever a plumbing problem thanks daniel!

Thank  you to Jimmy for taking care of our sink today.great customer service. Will recommend them to all my family. Thanks to also daniel

Complete life savers! Friday, March 2nd, 2018 at 4:40 pm we realized that our water main located in the alley behind our home had water gushing out at a very rapid rate.  We called the water department, they came out within 15minutes and told us they were shutting the water off to figure out what the problem was.  They said it was a coin toss... maybe the problem was something the city was responsible for... or, if the break was on our property, it was our problem.  After a short while the city worker let us know our pipe had a break just before the city connection.  So, we were responsible.  We were overwhelmed quickly as it was friday night and it was a rare night when it was cold and raining.  What plumber would possibly want to come out under these circumstances???
We called a couple of places and left message and then called Daniel's Plumbing.  An actual person answered the phone... yep, even after hours! We were told they would send out someone within the next 15 minutes to assess our issue and give us an idea of the work required.
Fifteen minutes later Daniel Jr. came out and assessed the situation.  We live in an almost 100 year old house with much of the original plumbing lines in place.  Daniel let us know that we had several options.  Option 1 being to just dig up the broken elbow connection, find the break, make the repair and turn the water on.  Option 2 would be to dig up and replace the ENTIRE water line.  We agreed to go with Option 1 and set up for work to begin the following day, Saturday morning.
At dinner we talked about Option 2. For a while we've seen signs of possible leaks such as high water bill, sloping in the back yard, poor quality of water because of lead in the water... so, we decided to make the investment and go with Option 2. We called Daniel's and let him know and they began the next morning, promptly at 8am.
The entire crew arrived on time, and got after it! Before we knew it they had dug the trench, and found they needed to get under our cement.  So, they gingerly cut the cement in a manner that it could be placed back almost seamlessly.
Somewhere around 6pm that afternoon the water was back on, the backyard was cleaned up, and this whole nightmare was behind us.
Our water pressure in the house is AMAZING now! The quality of the water is much better, and I'm looking forward to seeing the savings in next months water bill!
My dad used to tell me that I'd know who my friends were when I was in trouble and not everyone was ready to help... My dad would say that the friends that showed up to help were my true friends.  This lesson came to mind that cold rainy Friday night. Daniel's plumbing was there, ready and willing to help, and we won't forget it.  Their willingness to help, and professionalism speaks volumes of their character.

Jimmy is a super nice guy,... very knowledgeable and efficient!  He put his skills to work and had our home back in working order very quickly. I highly recommend their service.

Thank Youuuu Sooo much Jimmy for your help with fixing our plumbing issue!

Steve  Long Beach

I called Daniels for the first time since I had many plumbing issues and I was satisfied. Kevin one of the plumbers did an outstanding job. I'm for sure calling them again when needed.

I called for back up issues and from the first moment of contact everyone was polite and attentive.  They took care of my issue with in a day. They were upfront and honest about the issue and most importantly pricing. I would defiantly recommend Daniel's Plumbing & son to friends and neighbors. They will be on my speed dial for any further issues.
Thank you Daniel's plumbing & son!!

Terrible service. Never showed up at the window time frame. When I called to ask what's going on, they said they don't know why the tech never showed up, apologized, and hung up on me. Terrible business.

Have used them before, but they're pretty flakey...guy on the phone says one thing when making an appointment, but (if and when) the plumber shows up, they tell me something else...then, they have to call thr office...then the plumber tells me the guy on tge phone never said 'that' when I called the day or two before. Plumber takes off, without doing the repair, telling me someone will call me from the office...which they never do. Meanwhile, I have lost time and have to start all over again with a new plumber. The newer plumber shows up (on time,  as scheduled), gives an estimate and does a complete repair in less than an hour, and at a reasonable rate. Problem solved. Based on my past experience with Daniel's (no shows, no calls, no follow up), I should have jyst gone with my gut and NOTcalled them first or given them another chance....I suggest others do the same unless you like unnecessary aggravation.

My bathroom sink started overflowing last night around 5:30. I called another company who, all told, made me wait over 7 hours over the course of 2 days. I got fed up waiting and bailing out water every 30 minutes, so I called Daniels. Tony picked up, was super friendly, and had me on the schedule to be serviced within the hour, even though it was about noon on a Sunday afternoon. He even went as far as to say if I didn't hear from the technician by the time the hour was up, I could call back and he would handle it immediately. He was also upfront about the prices being a bit more because it was an after-hours call, and though I was already expecting that, I appreciated that he wanted to make sure he was transparent before they came out.
The technician was at my condo within 45 minutes. He was friendly and efficient, and had my sink clear and draining again in about 10 minutes. He was even apologetic about the price being higher, but it wasn't bad at all for a Sunday house call. I am relieved to have found a friendly and responsive plumbing service for my future needs!

This company was on time to give me an estimate and to start the job for my washer/dryer plumbing and a refrigerator water line. They did a superb job installing my plumbing. Great communication about what needed to be done and providing an estimate fast. They are very professional and provide quality work. It is well worth the price. I will recommend you guys to all of my friends and family. Thanks Daniel!

P.S. They only did the plumbing. I had to find someone else for the drywall repair and painting.

I used to call these guys for my business all the time. They are very friendly, and their prices for repairing are very affordable. however, I don't know if they hired a new person or what? Their technician has not been showing up that I had to called another plumbing company. Last time, I had a plumbing emergency, and the man never showed up again. This was my final straw after being a dedicated customer with them. Whoever this new technician is?  They're ruining their business and reputation

Love love love this company! They came the same day I called, fixed the problem and didn't charge us a fortune! I would highly recommend:)

I have used Daniel's Plumbing  several times over the last few years and I have always been satisfied with their prices, quality of service and professionalism.  When one of our galvanized pipes began leaking in the attic, Daniel Jr. repaired it.  We decided to have the house repiped into copper.  I was impressed with the team that he brought with him to complete the repipe.  Daniel's Plumbing gave a very fair bid and they were timely, professional, clean and polite.  I couldn't have asked for more.

My fiancé and I recently moved into our first home and of course had plumbing issues with our kitchen sink not soon long after. We were connected with Daniel's Plumping- their work, kindness, and articulate staff are extremely helpful and caring. They knew right away the issue and were off the to hardware store and repaired everything in under an hour! They don't try to hide anything from you and work to give you fair pricing and not screw you over. We will definitely be using them (but hopefully not ;)) in the future for any issues!
