I was worried due to the age of my home (being over a hundred years old) that there wouldn't be a plumbing service that could help me. But Jon was the absolute best. His pricing was very reasonable and he was able to explain each and every step in resolving my plumbing issue. I will be using JD Plumbing for all my future plumbing needs would highly recommend you do the same!

These guys are so professional!!!
They showed up quick and as scheduled, were very professional and polite and took care of the plumbing issues expeditiously without leaving a mess at all. If you want no hassle, honest, reliable and professional service you won't be disappointed with these guys, and you'll be supporting a black owned business.

Jon was a breath of fresh air (while I was getting quotes for a blockage problem) with his competency, honesty, and patience to explain everything. Not pushy, sleazy, or sale-sy like my other quotes! Will definitely call JD for any future problems!! Thanks Jon!

Our garbage disposal broke this week when a plate accidentally broke and shards dropped down the drain. Out of the half dozen plumbers we called, Jon replied and was available the soonest. He came out the next morning, was super prompt and fixed the issue no problem! Would definitely recommend, and will def be calling him again for any plumbing needs. :)

Hmm, Jon doesn't really need another 5 star review, but I thought it would be cool to share his story:

A plumber drove right up to Jon on the street and offered to hire him for a job, at which point he went home to put on some work clothes, got trained on the job, and basically he's been a plumber ever since, worked for Roto-Rooter, and started his own thing and totally loves his job years later. How lucky, right?

It's always nice when someone loves what they do, is really good at it, and can run their own business well. Jon is a very chill guy, fast and smart, and wants to make sure the customer is satisfied and taken care of.

I had some unique fixtures, and he took the time to call the manufacturer and figure out how to do the repair, and go get whatever parts I needed. He fixed 4 things very quickly: unclogged a sink drain, fixed my toilet handle, replaced a hose bib, and fixed a leaky faucet -- all for a very affordable price despite needing multiple visits and store runs to get the right parts.

Happy to have found our new plumber, and to support a local business and a great guy who came up in East Oakland!

Alright, alright, alright, good update!
Jon ended up having a medical emergency which makes sense now since I didn't get that vibe from him when we first met and we had a really good rapport going on his first visit here.
After recovering he was quick to respond, apologized, and was quick to replace the sink trap in our garage and it looks amazing.

I think it's safe to say stuff like this happens in this type of work when you have your apprentice do the work for experience so it was reassuring he took care of this job himself this time and was hands on. I'm sure he will be triple checking everything from now on. I will still use JD Plumbing for future work and I can now confidently say that I stand by my initial review of 5 stars!

Jon is the best. In the past 3 years, he's fixed a main water line leak...which was a pretty extensive job...installed a sump pump in my basement and fixed my leaking tub and kitchen sink faucets. He is always professional and frankly, the only plumber I trust to be fair and do an excellent job. So happy to have found him!

Wow! I can't recommend Jon highly enough. Woke up one morning to a kitchen faucet leaking under the sink and into the cabinet next to it as well as on top of the sink. After looking on yelp, couldn't ignore all the great reviews Jon's received so my husband gave him a call. He came out and diagnosed the problem (worn out shut off valve in the faucet) and let us know it would cost more to fix than to just replace the faucet...He even recommended where to look for one that would give us the best selection and best price. We found one we liked, ordered it and he was over the next day to install it...and it only took him and his work partner 1/2 hour or less to do. He's very personable and knowledgeable. And he took all the packaging and old parts away with him leaving the place clean and DRY with a beautiful new faucet installed. Thanks Jon. If we ever have another plumbing problem (which I hope we don't), you are the one we'll be calling.

We called JD plumbing because out Laundry line was clogged and flooding out kitchen. They came with same day service, were professional and clean and got done quicker than we expected. Great work! I will call back for our future plumbing needs

John was amazing!!! We had a leak in our house and couldn't figure out where it was coming from so he came out within an hour of me calling and was prompt, professional and smart but the most important thing: a problem solver.

He quickly figured out where the leak was coming from and explained everything to me- I know nothing about plumbing so getting a basic education was helpful. He could tell I was anxious about the problem and he stayed until we ran the water 4-5 times in order to be sure the problem was solved. I would absolutely hire John again to fix any plumbing issue and I'd give him a sixth star if I could!!!!!

I had a leak in my house and it was kind of an emergency. Even though it was a public holiday John dry by my house and fixed the problem fairly quick. Not to mention that I was not even there physically. Great reliable guy who does the job! Thanks JD Plumbing

Jon came by to look at a mysterious plumbing leak in my house. The problem and solution ended up being quite a bit more complicated than originally hoped, but Jon stuck with the job and implemented a tough solution. He worked for a fair price and put in a high quality solution that involved running a huge cast iron pipe on the outside of our old house. Would recommend his work!

Clean- Efficient- Kind
I was referred to Jon by another plumber who wasn't able to do the job which gave me great confidence. Jon was able to come the same day I called, at the time I requested to address my clogged tub. He contacted me to let me know when he was on the way (within the quoted time frame) and was very nice and pleasant when he arrived. He quickly accessed the problem, proposed a solution, gave me a quote, and got right to work. I was his last call of the day and I think the job was more stubborn than he had anticipated, but he had no complaints and kept at it until he was finished. He then went out to his van and came back with cleaning products to clean up the tub. I didn't expect that- I have had other contractors leave trash/dirt after jobs that I have to clean up. Although simple, it was a really nice touch!
I hope I don't need a plumber in the near future, but if I do Jon will be the first person I call.

Julie Z.

10/19/2017

I was very pleased with service and Jon was very knowledgeable and knew what the problem was immediately. I hope to never have plumbing issues again but if I do I won't need to do any research. I'll call up Jon.

Aja A.

12/01/2016 12:00:00 SA

While I'd greatly prefer a time in my life where I never gave plumbers a second thought, Jon is AMAZING. Save yourself time, money and aggravation and make him your first call.

We had an emergency the night before Thanksgiving and called like fourteen other plumbers before we got Jon on the line. He came out at 8pm and didn't leave 'til the job was done. He's pleasant, informative, thorough, helpful and honest. Totally undaunted by a tough job, doesn't cut corners, and explains what's going on to make you a better homeowner.

Jon was a total lifesaver. Had a leak coming from somewhere and John was able to find and fix it without hesitation....all this on the day Prince died, which he had the misfortune of discovering in my living room.

I certainly hope I don't have more leaks, but if I do, I will certainly call Jon immediately.

Jon from JD Plumbing came out today to service my bathroom sump pump. He did a great job, and even though he replaced a part, he didn't charge anything above his original estimate. I plan to call JD Plumbing whenever I have a plumbing issue. Highly recommend them.

Vanessa W.

11/08/2017 12:00:00 SA

Called around and got an estimate by Jon and his guys to install new shampoo bowls in my salon. They were super nice and honest and got the job done efficiently and thoroughly. I would definitely use and recommend them if you had a last minute plumbing issue or any kind of upgrade. Great Work!

Jon was able to fit me into his work schedule on short notice. Together, Jon and Rich replaced a leaky, defective kitchen faucet for me. The two partner together well. Jon and Rich are respectful, polite, efficient and, perhaps most importantly, competent. The kitchen was left cleaner after the job than before. Three cheers for a working kitchen sink! Highly recommended.

I am so happy that I found Jon from JD Plumbing. My mom had called him for a couple of issues she had and on the very same day Jon came out to see her, he stopped by to take care of a broken pipe in our kitchen sink. I am very pleased and will not hesitate to call him again if we have any other issues in the future. He was quick and efficient and very pleasant. He was so kind to my mom who is a senior citizen not to charge her for a visit out to her when he couldnt find any problem that needed fixing. I highly reccommend JD Plumbing

Rachael R.

12/31/2019

Super bummed about this plumber, he started out so great. But in the end he got in over his head and instead of just being honest with us he stopped communicating all together mid way through a project Leaving us to find a new plumber to finish his mess. Additionally, just heard from my tenant he left their yard a huge mess when he promised he wouldn't. They didn't even connect the right hot water pipe from under the house. Ugh. Try Ethans Plumbing in Alameda he's super communicative and very reasonably priced. I should have called him in the first place.

Jeremy R.

8/20/2018

Jon was professional, courteous and did an amazing job replacing two toilets for us. And when our old house threw a curve ball, he handled it quickly and without complaint. Most importantly, in the weeks since, both of the toilets have been working great! Very definitely will call again if and when the need arises.

Jesse G.

3/23/2016

I was referred to Jon by another plumber who could not do the job that I needed, and it was a great experience. He arrived to my house 20 minutes after I called him, and was very pleasant. He solved the problem in a timely manner, and answered all of my questions and gave me advice about how to prevent this problem from happening in the future. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is having plumbing problems.

After calling several plumbers who did not return calls, Jon from JD Plumbing returned my call. What a great man and plumber! He showed up when he said he would, fixed my problem, was very professional and friendly. He charges reasonable rates. I recommend his plumbing company and will call him for any future plumbing needs.

Lolly D.

01/11/2017 12:00:00 SA

I called JD Plumbing for an issue that I was having with my shower and I got an appointment the next day. Jon was super knowledgeable and efficient and offered his services at a great price. Keeping JD Plumbing in my phonebook for any future plumbing needs!

Shelly G.

Jon and his team were fantastic in taking care of our clog!! They worked through a rainy weekend in the mud to make sure our plumbing was flowing once again. The job turned out to be bigger than initially expected and Jon and his team handled it like champs!! They explained all parts of the project to us and answered all our questions! They are our go-to plumbers for life!

susanne l.

10/10/2017 12:00:00 SA

Jon just left and boy am I relieved. Everything was fixed beautifully, so I will no longer be washing dishes in the tub!

First of all, he actually picked up the phone when I called! He arrived when he said he would, explained what he would do and gave me a price up front. He and his apprentice we friendly and professional and worked quickly. And at no time was there a display or plumber's crack;-)

Give him a call, you won't be disappointed.

Alexandra O.

4/19/2017

Professional, friendly, and expert service - My go-to for future plumbing issues!

Jon fit me into the schedule on the same day I called. He quickly assessed the situation and gave me a quote of how much to fix it. Jon was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions regarding the issue. He was also matter of fact - upfront and honest. I appreciated that.

Robert P.

05/01/2020 12:00:00 SA

I tried to replace my kitchen faucet and could not get the bolt holding the unit to the sink to move. I bought and returned several special tools finally cutting off everything but the bolt hold the faucet body firmly to the sink.
I called JD plumbing and he can out that day! Yeah he got it off in no time and installed the new faucet as part of the call!!
Thank you JD plumbing!! I'll call again next time!

Deirdre M.

Jon unclogged my bath tub in lightening speed. A nice guy who does a great job, fast response to my initial call and fast work from start to finish. What more could you want! Thanks Jon.

Nicole B.

JD Plumbing is amazing to work with! In less than a week, they scheduled coming out, demoed all of the tile & moved all of the water & waste pipes in our bathroom!

They were super clean, communicative & always on time.

Our project was initially estimated to take 3-4 days, it took less than three. Couldn't be happier about our experience.

Olga D.

07/08/2019 12:00:00 SA

JD started off okay trying to repair a leak in my upstairs bath. After two visits and being unable to locate and repair the leak, he had to open up my wall. He proceeded and was to return. Unfortunately, he did not return despite my making multiple calls and texting him. He never responded. He put a hole in my wall, abandoned the job and didn't have the work ethic to either admit he was unable to locate the problem or refer me to another plumber. I will not hire him under any circumstances!

Hyacinth C.

01/08/2017 12:00:00 SA

Best plumber and it was last minute on a stormy day. He was very thorough and even cleaned up. Will definitely use him again and refer him. Knowledgeable and honest. Best qualities to have.

* Highly recommend Jon for any plumbing issues!

* Great to work with and would definitely call him again!

Wonderful service! We had a leaky faucet and a clogged shower drain. Our technician told us that the faucet wasn't installed correctly and quickly fixed it for free, and recommended a better model for us that we could purchase at Home Depot if we wanted to. He also cleared out our shower drain super quickly and with a really positive attitude. Would definitely call JD again. Thank you so much!

JJ B.

12/14/2017

I needed a new kitchen faucet installed because the original one wasn't the greatest quality and hadn't been correctly installed. Jon quickly installed the new faucet for a reasonable price and also corrected what the original plumber/installer did wrong or didn't do. He's great and professional, and I'm definitely going to call him again for any other plumbing issues.

Craig K.

12/15/2016

I just wanted everyone to know that if they have any plumbing issues that need to be resolved John from JD Plumbing is your go to guy. My water shut off valve was leaking yesterday and now it's fixed. He is friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and his pricing is reasonable. I'm glad I got referred to him by another plumber who was too busy to come out. I will only use John for all my plumbing needs from now on.

Laura W.

9/29/2021

We had three or four good experiences with JD plumbing, but this last time was very different. We called him several times because the toilet repair he had done didn't work, but he totally ghosted us. I see several other reviews that reveal the same pattern. This plumber needs to guarantee his work and respond to his messages.

Kevin M.

12/27/2016

John heads a good team. Very responsive and polite. Will continue to call him for plumbing. Keep up the good work!

Joseph H.

I hired Jon 3 times so far and I tell you, he is my first call anytime we have plumbing needs in the house. Professional, reasonable cost, polite and competent.

Joe C.

09/10/2015 12:00:00 SA

Jon just installed two ultramax toilets and replaced my kitchen faucet for me! He is a hardworking, honest and skilled plumber. I like the way he treats his clients, and he is also very serious and professional about his work - clean everything up after the work is tested. I will use the services of his company any time!

Dee A.

5/25/2017

JD Plumbing was referred by a property manager friend. I called Jon and he came within an hour to snake some drains and re-seat my toilet. Good guy - super friendly. Took the time to explain to me what was going on/what options are, which is important to me as a complete control freak. They also cleaned really well when they were done. Easy peasy!!

Gabby L.

7/22/2018

JD came through and fix my guest room sink for me! I had called someone else to come and do it and they couldn't find anything. I found JD Plumbing on here and his response time was quick and so was his work ! Thank you so much for figuring out the problem !

Eleanor L.

11/03/2015 12:00:00 SA

Jon was amazing! Not only was he able to come within hours of being called, he snaked our badly clogged kitchen drain and de-sludged it in no time. Thanks for correcting our mistake of putting artichoke leaves down our small garbage disposal.

I had a clogged drain in my shower that I had tried everything I could think of to fix- draino, a plastic snake, plunger- you name it ! I have long hair so am used to some drainage issues, but this was different and my shower was unusable. I gave Jon a call in the morning- he was able to come by that same afternoon, and got it fixed up within the hour. Efficient, friendly, and upfront about pricing, which was much more affordable than I was expecting. Highly recommend!

Max M.

11/05/2018 12:00:00 SA

JD was amazing until he forgot about getting a permit for the gas shutoff valve he installed. It's been several weeks now without any response to texts and phone calls.

Where is the permit, John?

Kathy A.

07/11/2017 12:00:00 SA

Jon from JD Plumbing came out today and quickly found that I had a leak on the pipe connected to my shower head. He not only let me know about the leak but also showed me the problem using a camera. He wrote up a proposal letting me know the cost (parts and labor included) and what he was going to do. He also let me know up front that he only does plumbing and the wall would need to be repaired by someone else. After a run to Home Depot he was able to fix the leak in a very timely manner. He is extremely pleasant, competent and the area was completely clean when he left. I will definitely call JD Plumbing again if I ever need any future plumbing work.

Thomas L.

03/01/2019 12:00:00 SA

We have used John twice now on different jobs. He has done a great job both times. He's honest and reasonably priced. Would not hesitate using him again.

Aliea S.

6/25/2019

JD did a great job! He switched the water heaters for me even pulled the permit and brought the new water heater to my house, and disposed of the old one. He is very professional and efficient, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a job well done. Thanks Jon you where great, I will definitely be referring everyone I know to you!

John did a great job for a great price. He clearly knows what he is doing and did not try to up sell us on the job. In fact, JD Plumbing was great throughout this process. They responded to our call immediately, were on time for the appointment, and worked efficiently without leaving a mess.

We will definitely call upon John and JD Plumbing for any future jobs.

I called for leaks and he said just finishing what his doing and he will come to job site but no call no show how unreliable

Barbara W.

12/03/2017 12:00:00 SA

Update to my previous review...
Before I called a plumber my neighbor recommended I called JD Plumbing one final time to see if John had a good reason for the no-show and no call back after over a week. He answered right away and said he had been in the hospital and could come out the next day to fix the powder room sink. He was right on time and fixed the problem. I will call JD Plumbing again the next time I need a plumber. John is polite, doesn't try to sell you on unnecessary work and was available on short notice when other plumbers were hard to reach.

Amy H.

07/05/2017 12:00:00 SA

Thank you JD Plumbing for replacing and installing our new toilet. I got 3 quotes and JD was the fairest price. He was willing to make same day appointment. I contacted him thru Facebook messenger and John answered my questions. They came on July 4th holiday and were done in less than an hour. Very thorough and detailed with their work. They cleaned the toilet area after installing it and even caulked it for us because we had it caulked before. They disposed our old toilet. Paid for it and on the receipt, it states a 90 day warranty on the workmanship. That's great. Will call JD again for any plumbing needs. Reliable and fair price. Thanks again.

Lynn B.

Jon is super responsive and does great work at totally reasonable prices. We've used him twice and he'll be our go to guy in the future, too.

Anson L.

12/18/2018

Jon came out the morning after I called about a kitchen sink leak. He was on time, prompt, and the work was completed in a speedy fashion. Very friendly to boot! His pricing his is very fair. He also alerted me to other issues in the house that I'll be keeping an eye on, but did so without any pressure whatsoever. It was pleasure having him take care of my plumbing, and I'll definitely have him take care of my future plumbing jobs.

Anne C.

4/17/2017

Yep, Jon was perfect: He answered his phone, was able to come out soon, was efficient and friendly and knowledgeable and talked *to* me not at/down to me...all around awesome. I was actually just thinking: What else can he come help me with...oooh, my sump pump! Gonna call him now...

Ellie M.

2/16/2016

Couldn't ask for better service. I called about a problem with our toilet and BAM! -- we had a new one installed and operational less than 24 hours later. Not only was he fast and reliable, he's a a super nice, very professional guy. We are going to bring him back to fix the sink and tub. Thanks for making this easy and painless!

Drew B.

4/19/2018

This guys are fantastic. We had a serious leak going from the back of a toilet tank to the floor below. They were here early the next morning, diagnosed the issue quickly, quoted me a fix, then did exactly what they promised quickly. Just a great experience, very happy to have found these guys.

Craig C.

1/18/2017

Jon is excellent- he does great quality workmanship and is very knowledgeable about everything. Great communication and explanation of all things to be done. The work he and his assistant did to replace all of my homes drain pipes was incredible. Overall I am very impressed with everything. I would call on JD Plumbing for any needs and highly recommend them to anyone who may need plumbing.
