Reviews
John is basically a Marvel Superhero at this point. He's our exclusive plumber now because he is just so amazing.
The last time he was out here he fixed the shoddy work of our old plumber and today was more of the same.
Our regulator went out yesterday and I was very nervous about a bursting pipe or destroyed equipment because of it.
I called him up on Superbowl Sunday and he actually answered which was a HUGE relief. He told me he could come out immediately but it'd be pricey and it could wait a day if I was open to it.
He came out this morning and tested the pressure. We were at 110psi which is pretty high. We normally run around 60psi.
He verified the regulator was the problem and gave me a rate to fix it and install a new shutoff valve.
I couldn't figure why the regulator was bad it was maybe 5-7years old and he informed me that it was a cheap one. That old plumber was the gift that just kept on giving!
He gave me good quality one as he always does. And fixed me up quick!
He found the water shutoff on the street behind us, my neighborhood is weird.
And replaced the regulator and valve and flushed our tankless water heater all in about an hour.
An hour for all of that from start to finish!
I cannot believe how lucky we are to have this high level plumber available to us. He came in and checked our flow out too in a few places and was on his way.
Please treat him well he will do the same to your family's home.
Thank you so much John Joyce! We love Joyce Plumbing!

These guys were great!. They truly have a 24 hours response. We called them on a mid-Thursday and they scheduled us for Saturday. They arrived sharp at 8:30am and by 2pm job was complete and cleaned. Very professional and nice, and answered all the questions and concerns we had concerning our tankless water heater. We had a leak so piping was cauterized and since our heater was 10 years old, they recommended it be replaced, which we did. Price was slightly above average ($2400) but worth it for their efficiency, resolving issue effectively, honesty and quickness.
I am so grateful for working with Joyce Plumbing. John replied right away when I reached out via yelp and he was able to drive to my home the same day, give me an estimate, and complete the work. He was so polite and answered all my questions. He is knowledgeable and completed the work fairly quick. I would highly recommend Joyce Plumbing to anyone!
- Prompt initial response and great communication throughout the job.
- Excellent, professional work on a tough under-slab pipe leak. Would definitely use them again!
Called on a Sunday to see if they could come out. The owner was extremely professional, knowledgeable, kind and prompt. After gathering as much info over the phone in order to put together a ball park estimate so as not to waste anyone's time and to give me the closest idea as to how much it might cost, he sent out one of his technicians right away. His tech, Denver, showed up within minutes and resolved our issue and even tried to help with cleanup- our septic had backed up into the tub. Will definitely recommend this company to everyone I know.

I can't say enough nice things about Joyce plumbing. The owner, John, first did work for me when I did a major kitchen remodel about 9 years ago. He was extremely professional, always on time, and very respectful about working inside my home.
I recently had to call them as I had a major clog in my sewage drain for the laundry and kitchen drains. He sent his assistant, Denver, out to work on the problem. He was thorough and completed the work quickly.
I have a big sewer pipe replacement project coming up this spring, and I will definitely be calling Joyce plumbing to do the work!
I've used Joyce Plumbing twice within the last month. I needed a new garbage disposal and valves replaced. They were really quick to respond and set up appointments. I was even able to get help on a holiday weekend.
Denver came and did the work. He was efficient, friendly and did an excellent job. And I really appreciate his graciousness. I would definitely call them again. Thanks so much Joyce Plumbing! ;)
My Joyce explains what needs doing and offers fair pricing. I found Joyce Plumbing on Yelp after my parents' neighborhood plumbing company changed hands and the new owners were charging crazy amounts to not fix things. I know from his first visit and from talking about upcoming jobs that I can trust him to do things right and use good judgement about when to repair and when to replace.

We now have a plumber!! There are no words to express how happy I am! We have three family homes to maintain. That means something almost always is in need of attention...4 kitchen sinks, 9 toilets, 4 showers, drains, etc. John is honest, reliable, conscientious, helpful, clean, brave (whoops...not sure about brave) but everything else you'd want in someone to trust with keeping your plumbing in order. Thank you John...
Everything looks nice and neat. Very professional. Would definitely use again. Thank you!

They've taken great care of us over the years. From installing faucets and showers during our remodel to repairing a burst pipe in our wall. Everything they've done for us has been super solid
Outstanding service at a good price. Professional, curteous and on time. My only plumber in the future. Highly recommended!
First appointment was to install new kitchen faucet. Had to call again yesterday to fix a clogged drain. Quick response to my call, timely arrival and the same courteous, professional service as before. A superb company that truly understands what customer service is all about.

John asked if he could come early, which really worked out good for me. He explained the problem with my water cutoff valve, and I learned a lot from it. He then gave me a quote (lowest that I got from anyone) and he and his assistant got right to work.
They were done in no time, and I feel much safer knowing that if I need to shut off the water in an emergency, I can do just that. Looks nice, too! Friendly, fast, efficient and cleaned up after themselves. I DEFINITELY recommend this company.
Today we had a little plumbing emergency and the plumber we normally use was busy on the golf course. I used Yelp and found Joyce Plumbing. Sorry, previous unnamed plumber, you've been replaced! Joyce plumbing was reasonable, knowledgable in the humblest manner (you could tell he knew his stuff), honest, polite and efficient. When we called him, he said, I'm on the 8. I can come right now. He was here in less than 15 minutes. When you've had to shut off your water, that is such a relief! We had 2 other non-emergency plumbing things we had to do and we were so impressed, we asked him to do those as well which he was able to accomodate. We will definitely use him again. Plus, you get $25 if you found him on Yelp. Use him! You won't be sorry. Thanks for the great service, Joyce Plumbing!
Had an emergency on a national holiday and Joyce Plumbing fixed my issue same day without hijacking the price! In fact, I felt the cost was more than reasonable! Great service - honest workers - definitely my new go-to plumber!
John came to my house immediately on a Saturday afternoon when we had a mainline backup. He worked hard and fast, getting the rusty cap off a clean-out and snaking out the mainline in about 15 minutes. He turned a bad afternoon into a nice one. And he didn't charge too much. I recommend him.

John is literally the best. He came out to our house because we had a smell coming from our bathroom. It ended up not being a plumbing issue, but actually a rodent issue (gross). John didn't charge us anything even though he spent a lot of time with us. Call this guy...you won't regret it.

Disappointed. We used Joyce for several
years in our la mesa home and were always pleased. Recently we even recommended Joyce to the new owners of that home. We moved to mission hills and had him out to look at a couple of concerns. There was a repair that needed to be done in near future. The quote was never received but we kept getting emails for Sheldon's cafe (receipts and quotes). We never got our estimate-when I messaged to tell him, he asked to call him. I didn't have time that day and I let it go figuring we would eventually get to it when we were ready to do the work (non urgent). I messaged him today for an urgent matter with a bit of background on the problem and to see if he was available. Response was simply I am not.
We have other bathrooms, had he responded I'm not available today but...... we may have waited for him or at least planned to keep as our main plumber.
5 star work, poor communication.
Saturday at 12 p.m we realized our granny flat was clogged. We had company from out of town and we're having a huge family get together at 4 pm. John was at our house within a couple of hours and had it fixed and cleaned up quickly. He was busy that day but since my husband explained that we had a party he made it happen. His customer service was outstanding. His clean up was superb. He sprayed something then cleaned up the mess. My company had flushed baby wipes and clogged up the system. He was quick and clean and I know who to call next time I need good service. Thanks John for making it happen and for the discount. It was greatly appreciated.
Loved that he showed up in general. Gave us a great pricing for everything and clean up perfectly. We were having issues with other plumbers in the area but he came and was very professional with all the work he did. He was fast and very knowledgeable. Definitely sticking with him for future endeavors.

Hire these guys.

Joyce Plumbing did an amazing job with our kitchen sink back up. It turned out to be a much more difficult job and they made it a high-priority to fix the issue. John and Denver were honest and extremely dedicated towards fixing our kitchen sink drain and were able to clear a very tough situation. We are extremely grateful and recommend Joyce plumbing if you want a job well-done.
excellent ,prompt ,efficient service
highly recommend
thank you for your service
had an toilet leak
came out quickly to fix problem
told me upfront what i might expect cost wise
very friendly
Minus the scheduling issue, they got the job done. And the plumber was helpful and informative. Will definitely use them again!
After having a bad experience with a major commercial plumber, I found Joyce Plumbing on Yelp. John responded quickly with a fair estimate and was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. The following day he called before arrival, arrived well within the set window and got to work. He works efficiently, but does not rush. He takes the time to ensure that work is done properly and double and triple checks things. His estimate was not the lowest, BUT he is using high quality parts. As a home owner I would rather pay a bit more for the parts and save potential future headaches. I definitely saved his contact info and will use him in the future.
Joyce plumbing did an excellent job taking out an old faucet ( which I tried to do for two hours but was unable to manage it ) and installing a new one. Excellent work. Reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Denver showed up on time, and ready to work. He cleaned out my plumbing, which was completely clogged just past the kitchen sink. Very polite, clean, and great customer service. I would call Joyce Plumbing again and again for any of our plumbing issues in the future. Highly recommended!
Joyce Plumbing is the BEST! We had several plumbing issues that required two new faucets, a tub handle, toilet seats and even some caulking. Not only was the repair cost extremely reasonable but the professionalism, clean-up and end result were TOP NOTCH! You will not be disappointed ~ support the small business and hire Joyce Plumbing.
Honest, prompt and professional. Managed to help me fix a problem that had been plaguing us for weeks. I can't recommend them enough and will be using them in the future. They treated me like I was their only customer of the day and didn't stop working till the issue was resolved. I had issues with my ability to be available and they worked around my schedule. Having them out was the best call I made and I am glad I went with them instead of the three other plumbers I contacted.

Very reliable and reasonably priced, and quick. He communicated very well, letting me know when he was on the way. He was able to give me a time frame of how long it would take and finished earlier than I had expected. Highly recommend him.
I've used Joyce Plumbing on two jobs now and have been pleased with the quality of his work. I want to point out two positives here that do not apply to most service providers. First, John Joyce uses his own family name for the name of his business. No hiding behind a DBA (Doing Business As) name there. Second, both times I've requested an estimate from plumbers through Yelp, John has replied with an actual dollar amount. Most Yelp replies just say, Call me.
Called John on a Sunday morning and he was at my residence before 12 noon... What an effort on his part, I am truly grateful. The main water supply pipe to my house blew apart and there were no parts available to fix it immediately. John managed the situation with great expertise and the problem was fixed first thing Monday morning as soon as he was able to purchase the needed parts. Simply a GREAT effort and I highly recommend John to everyone in east San Diego county. Dave S.
Quick and professional work. Helped me with my leaking line valves and offered great advice on my water heater. Definitely a great company to work with. Thank you Mr. Joyce!
Very impressed with Joyce plumbing! They were prompt in getting me set up with a free consultation. Denver was classy, professional, knowledgeable, and honest...what more could anyone ask for?? Thank you!!
John came by on time to assess an issue I had with a gas line and quickly gave quotes on some improvements. He is clearly knowledgeable and efficient. I'd recommend you contact John if your not an expert with plumbing or gas. He will explain things to you in a way that leaves you feeling good about the upcoming work.
I am so very glad I decided to call Joyce Plumbing the other night. Excellent service all around. I got a call from my tenants Saturday night about a leak under the sink, and they pretty much weren't able to use the sink or dishwasher without everything leaking underneath. So I came to Yelp and decided to give Joyce Plumbing a call Saturday night since the hours listed were until midnight. I honestly wasn't expecting anyone to answer the phone at 9:30pm, but much to my surprise John answered. I explained to him what was going on and asked if someone could come out Monday morning, but he said no problem and that he could come out the next day Sunday at no extra charge to look at it, give a free estimate and do the job if approved. I was so pleased at his quick response time AND that he wasn't going to charge extra for a Sunday call. Amazing! John kept in touch with me throughout the day, and called my tenants right when he said he would. He didn't waste time and I appreciated him taking the time out on a Sunday to handle it with ease. The job was handled the next day, tenants were happy and me even happier. Reasonable price, and most of all I just felt I could really trust John...he gave some suggestions for future usage and ideas to help keep the drains clean. It shows that he cares about people, and fixing problems and it's clear he has a passion for making this his business of 20+ years - he's not out there to nickel and dime people for every little thing. Overall, a great experience and i will definitely be calling Joyce Plumbing for any future needs. Thanks again!!

He was able to resolve the issue. Price was decent. I was hoping for slightly better price after getting a few quotes but, his was fair. All in all it's done and the are no more leaks. I'm keeping his card for future needs, yes, and I would call him again if needed.

An amazing experience all the way around. My 15 year old hot water heater started to leak, and I knew immediately I was interested in a more modern, energy efficient tankless water heater. I spoke to John on the phone and he gave me multiple options and offered some advice when it came to purchasing a tankless water heater. I called multiple other plumbers in the area and found that John charged a very competitive price without any hidden costs.
John, and one of his other employees, Denver, came out to my place and spent the day hauling out my old unit and fitting the tankless heater. He did a VERY professional job and the new unit is working great.
The BEST part of my experience was John's follow-up. He called multiple times to ask how the unit was running, gave me advice on how to care and maintain the unit, and made sure I was a happy customer. Will, without a doubt, use again for other plumbing needs.
Thanks again, Joyce plumbing!

John was on time, fixed my runny toilet, and charged a fair price. I would recommend Joyce Plumbing to everyone looking for a plumber you can trust!
John Joyce and his employee, Denver, responded to our emergency call to clear a blockage that had our granny flat toilet backing up the into shower. John had the problem diagnosed and fixed very quickly and very professionally. They were both very friendly. There was additional work he could have done and charged us for, but he was honest in saying that it was something my boyfriend or I could do ourselves and save the money. We paid a fair price for a job well-done. I would and DO recommend Joyce Plumbing for all of your plumbing needs, emergency or not. Support small business!

John came out and replaced 3 leaking valve cartridges in our master shower and did a fantastic job. He also replaced the valves under our kitchen sink. He was very courteous and efficient. I would definitely use him again. I highly recommend him! Rhett Whaley.
He answered the phone right away and was at my house quickly. Worked until the issue was solved. I will definitively be using him in the future. Very nice and pleasant to work with
After calling a dozen plumbers, and receiving no response, I contacted John with Joyce plumbing and got a same day appointment! He snaked my clogged tub line and replaced the broken flush lever of my toilet and was on his way in good time!
Fast, friendly, and affordable. I know who I'm calling next time I have a plumbing concern. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic service today from Denver. He was honest and up front with pricing and gave me several options with price ranges for my issue(s) with bathtub plumbing and a toilet. Recommend Joyce Plumbing
I had a sewage backup catastrophe at my condo and after calling a dozen plumbers on a Sunday, I found John who was one of the few who bothered to call me back. I could tell on the phone that he cares about his work and likes to solve problems.
When he arrived I could tell that he is a sincere person and not one of those rush-in rush-out kind of repairmen. He spent the time to assess the problem, spoke with the building manager, explained the pros and cons of different approaches, and spent several hours at the site. When he had to go out to get a part he did not charge me for that time.
I'm lucky I came across him when looking for a plumber!
I'm really happy with the service. I called this morning because some leaking in our garage, they responded very quickly, send a guy over to our house. Turn out it's just a old metal part which connected our washing machine causes the leak. He taught me how to fix it. Thank you so much!!! I will definitely call them next time we have a plumbing issue!
I got a response almost immediately to my yelp message. Denver came out within 2 hours of my message and fixed everything within 30 min. He called me with updates and was super calm and nice and made a stressful situation dissapear. I will absolutely use them whenever i have issues in the future, and everyone seriously should.
Our sink was clogged for a couple days. We tried everything we could before calling a plumber. I'm glad I called Joyce Plumbing. I requested for a quote and received a quick response. I was also able to schedule an appointment same day. Denver came out and fixed the problem. Price was reasonable and service was great. Definitely recommend Joyce Plumbing.
Called Joyce Plumbing for a backed up sink, and they were out within a day to fix. Ended up just needing a snake from a roof vent. He also fixed a sink faucet that was low flowing.

For a very reasonable price, John showed up promptly for his appointment and fixed our leaking shower. When he realized he didn't have the required part, he went off to purchase one, and he did not charge us for the extra time. He also adjusted our sink drain stopper so that it moves up and down the way it's supposed to, and again at no charge. He's a very polite guy and very focused. We'll definitely call him the next time we need a plumber.
Got nothing but GREAT things to say about John Joyce! Although I ruined his weekend and allowed him to
Join my terrible weekend he still was kind professional and very educated on our horrific plumbing issue. After being in my new home for only a week my husband and I were sick to our stomachs at the potential plumbing problem we have on our hands. He made us feel comfortable and assured us he can fix the problem. He will be continuing to service our property in the months to come and I completely Trust him!

I found John on Yelp and hired him to work on what turned out to be a slab leak at my condo. It is not a comfortable feeling having water coming up out of the concrete but John's honesty and professionalism helped tremendously throughout the process. Since then, John has come out to help with a variety of jobs for myself and those I have referred him to. John does a first-class job and won't rip you off!

Great service, knowledgeable and honest. I used John for an inspection on a house we're in escrow in and we will definitely be using him to do the work that needs to be done. Very fair.
They provided excellent service, saved us money, did the work quickly and correctly. This is the only plumber we will use from now on.

We noticed some signs of a leak yesterday morning. A coworker recommend Joyce Plumbing. I gave them a call and John picked up right away. He was super polite and accommodating. He came by that very afternoon, quickly diagnosed the issue and had it fixed in less then two hours. Him and his team were highly professional and efficient. I could not recommend Joyce Plumbing more.
We have had John out to fix several things in our homes over the past several years and he has always done a great job. He's a great worker and has integrity! He is highly recommended!

I posted a request for a quote here. Got a call within 5 minutes from John Joyce. My moms garbage disposal was not working. John talked us through how to try and fix it, and we did. Whatta guy! Saved me $$ and taught me something new in the wonderful world of home ownership! I will definitely call him again if the need arises. That is great customer service and true relationship business. 5 stars just for that!
I have utilized Joyce Plumbing multiple times in our home, John is our go to for just about anything plumbing related. Every time, he or Denver have been out for a service call they have been more than prompt. They have always advised me of what the job would entail and upfront costs. John himself even came out on a holiday, when we had a mainline break into the house and a second holiday when our Hot Water Heater had to be replaced. I find John to be very reasonable guy with a great personality. I do not allow just anyone in my house and John is welcome anytime. Most Recently, he installed our dishwasher. One week later we had an issue with the hook up, and he responded immediately and fixed the problem free of charge. Good Plumbers are hard to find. And one that responds on a moments notice and puts his customers first are nearly non-existent. Joyce Plumbing has my business for years to come!

I was treated fairly by Joyce Plumbing.
First time I had to ever call a plumber since living in La Mesa for over 12 yrs. Naturally skeptical of being gouged since my problem was an emergency and required immediate repair. Well, my experience and service received was beyond pleasant. Price was right, customer courtesy was phenomenal. So if you're reading reviews in search of a plumber, stop right here because you have found the most honest and knowledgeable plumbing service around.
The Best Service! the owner is quick with response and is able to send techs out quick Denver Came out and handled a clog in our main as well as wax seals on our toilets that were ruined due to pressure he was quick friendly and efficient and got the job done quickly right before Christmas we appreciate your hard work and response fixing our issue we will be using this company for any further issues and recommending to friends and Family Thank you!!
I had my only two toilets back up last night. Called Joyce plumbing early in the morning at 6 am. They were great about having Denver come out for 8 am. He was on time and very nice. The main issue for 3 star rating was he quoted me $365. These are the only two toilets in the house and luckily they were able to come out before I had to go work so did not have to miss any time. A couple years ago I had the same issue of the toilets backing up and another company (which I would have called but they didn't open until 8) came out and solved the same issue charging $180. I told this to Denver and he noted that due to having to go on the roof with regards to insurance/liability is the reason the price that his boss quoted was so high. Note that the other company went on the roof as well. The other option was to remove a toilet to snake it which would be the same price. A couple years ago the other company was unable to clear it from the roof, had to remove the toilet as well and still only charged $180.
Denver was great, he was nice, kept the area clean and finished the job in about 30 minutes. I straight up told him for that cost I will most likely not use the company again for something like drain clearing and no effort was made to adjust the price. I asked estimates for camera assessment and putting in an outdoor drain hole for easier snaking in the future and the estimates sounded average for what I have gotten in the past but I have not researched these much yet. Too bad this was so pricey for 30 minutes of work.
UPDATE: About 30 minutes after the job was done John the owner called and after talking to Denver reduced the charged amount and refunded the difference. He noted that often when going on the roof the jobs can often take longer than mine did and was happy to reduce the price for me. I now will be happy to use Joyce plumbing in the future.
Excellent and quick service!! We had a clog in our disposal drain and called this morning. They had someone out this afternoon and fixed the clog!! We are so grateful and definitely recommend!! Yelp reviews were right!! Thank you!!

I called about a clogged kitchen sink and Denver was able to come a few hours later. He was very pleasant, courteous and knowledgeable. He fixed the sink in a short time and cleaned the whole area when he was done. It was a good experience all around and I would definitely recommend them!!
Honest, prompt, and efficient. Called on a Saturday morning about a backed up sink, and John replied promptly, was there in the afternoon, snaked the pipes through the vent stack on the roof to avoid a mess inside. Afterwards, he took the time the answer a bunch of questions I had related to the job and more general questions about plumbing. He was generous with his time and advice. Highly recommend.
Fixed my borken water pipe within 20mins, fair price too! will call them again, (if i have things broke again)

We called Joyce Plumbing on a Saturday afternoon after discovering a bad leak from our shower drain was causing substrate moisture in our entry-way. After attempting to diagnose and fix the issue ourselves we discovered some seriously deteriorated pipes realized it was above and beyond our knowledge on how to best fix this issue. Upon calling John he was very upfront about the costs due it being the weekend and our options, we decided it was worth it to have him come out on Sunday since we were without a shower until fixed. He arrived on time, was quick to asses the problem and asked questions to make the best decision on how to fix the problem. He walked us through what he was going to do prior to starting work and gave us an accurate estimate of the costs, which were reasonable. He even took time to discuss with us the concerns of the age of the plumbing and how to make it last as long as possible - he also recommended a product to maintain the pipes and keep them clear. After the work was complete he showed us what he did and any other areas concerns he noticed while working. It was very clear from our interactions with John that he is knowledgeable in the trade and truly cares about the work he does. We feel lucky to have found a plumber to add to our list of trusted companies if we need plumbing work in the future. We highly recommend this company.
Great service! Arrived on time of scheduled appointment. Highly recommend - for prompt - professional service Joyce Plumbing is the company to call. Would gladly pass on the to family or friends that need plumbing services. Best of all he was reasonably priced. Thanks again for the great service.
Johnny helped me unclog my kitchen sink, and gave me some advice on how to reduce the build-up in my condo's plumbing using a bio cleaner. He was very professional, thorough and arrived on short notice. I've recommended Johnny to a number of my neighbors. Thanks Johnny!
I needed my main shut off valve replaced from an old gate valve to a ball valve. The technician that they sent was professional and very personable. The job went well without any real issues and he cleaned up the mess when he was done. It's nice to know I have a reliable honest company I can call if something else comes up.

Requested Joyce Plumbing to come out and repair leaking bathtub faucet. Made appointment for the next morning. They were on time and polite. inspected leak and decided to replace shower cartridge. Turned off main water and removed old shower cartridge and installed new one with no problems. turned main water back on and no more leaks. All went as planned. my opinion the price was a little high for less than 30 minutes of work.
He came out quickly,charged a reasonable rate and did the job. Urbejdjbbdjdnzbdjidndkjsbdn. Shaken s
John is amazing and helped me out so much today!! I am always grateful for hospitality especially being a girl who doesn't know much about plumbing. Glad to know that there is a solid family business out there that genuinely cares about doing a good job.
Definitely recommend these boys! They got me in same day when no one else was answering the phones or was grumpy :)
Thank you so much John for being happy to help you're running a good business!

Reasonable prize and professional service. They immediately responded to all my messages through the Yelp app. It was cool to see the owner bring his son. Love supporting our local family businesses.

OVERPRICED! A small section of pipe and he quoted over $800. Clearly in it for the money. Please get other estimates before having service done with Joyce Plumbing.
Our toilet flooded today and I called Joyce Plumbing around 1:44 pm and John answered the call. I asked him if he did work out in the Alpine area and he said yes. I asked if he was available today to take a look and he was thankfully. He was out at my house by 2:20 pm and snaked my main line to my septic tank and was out of there by 3:10 pm. He and his son were very pleasant and professional. I felt he was honest and fair with his pricing. I would recommend him to any of my friends that needed plumbing services. Thanks John for being a life saver today! :)
I needed A plumber ASAP. I looked on Yelp to see what I can find. First up Joyce Plumbing , with 5 stars. I read the reviews and called right away. I got a call back and John set me up for the next morning. Denver fixed my garbage disposal and toilet and was out in an hour.
Denver did a great job and was very polite and personal. If your looking for a plumbing service I would recommend JOYCE PLUMBING--5 STARS!!
Denver from Joyce plumbing did a great job repairing 2 leaks at my rental property. Both leaks were under the house and only accessible via crawl space. He got the job done quickly and expertly. Highly recommended!
Great Work! We had several issues with our heater unit that the company was able to fix all issues. The company was professional and was able to work with our busy schedule. He came prepared with all the necessary equipment to fix every thing. Very courteous staff with affordable prices. It is hard to find honest blue collar workers and we completely have faith in his judgement. I highly recommend this company and are very thankful we chose them!

We had a leak under our sink and I assumed we needed a new garbage disposal as that appeared to be the source. I called Joyce Plumbing on Sunday afternoon and got an immediate answer. No problem having someone come Monday to avoid weekend fees.
Plumber called in the morning to discuss garbage disposal options and gave me the pros and cons. I chose a middle price option.
Plumber showed up on time and looked at the sink for ten minutes. I didn't need a new disposal and he just tightened everything up. He even apologized for having to charge us a service fee since he didnt need to do much.
Great service. Will use again.
Denver was professional and on point. Pricing was fair compared to other plumbers. Would absolutely use again.
Outstanding service! John responded within minutes via phone, and within an hour of that, their technician Denver was out at our place. We had some leaky old plumbing in the outflow from our bathtub. He replaced the leaky plumbing with modern pipes and even did a little touch-up caulking in the bathtub for good measure. Denver was very professional and super friendly and explained exactly what was wrong and what he was going to do at each step. I can't say enough good things about him! Highly recommended and will return for any future plumbing work!
Excellent experience.
My tenant notified me Fri evening that her toilet was leaking. Sat morning, I request quotes via Yelp from a few plumbers. 3 stated that they were available starting Mon (either they don't work weekends (?!) or were booked. John Joyce (owner!) calls me back relatively quickly to say he can swing by in about 2 hours. My tenant was cool with that.
He ended up getting there even earlier, called me soon after to give me the estimate. Although it was a little higher than I anticipated, without actually receiving quotes from other places, I don't know for sure if it was more expensive or not. Regardless, he said he was able to take care of it then and there, and would send me an email with an invoice (as opposed to needing a CC right away) so I said, YES PLEASE!
Received a text from my tenant about an hour or so later saying John was pleasant, and everything was working perfectly. If we did pay a little more than competitors, it was worth it because he was professional, available, and efficient! Joyce Plumbing will definitely be our go-to plumber for our East County rental unit. Although hopefully we won't have plumbing issues for quite some time!
The man himself, John, replaced a broken, corroded, obsolete water shutoff gate valve in my condo's garage with a new ball valve. The direct communication via text was great. He gave different options, advantages, and disadvantages for the types of shutoff valves (import vs domestic) and the price differences. He arrived when he said he would. It only took him about 30 minutes to do the job. He was true to the price he quoted. He even took care of a minor toilet issue I had asked him about while he was here. John is very knowledgeable about his profession. Nice to talk to as well.
Finding a good plumber is like finding a good mechanic. No easy task. It definitely needed to be a licensed plumber for this job. After that, it came down to price, reviews, and reputation. I had quotes from a half dozen other plumbing outfits. The Yelp reviews were very helpful but it was also the gut feeling I got when I started communicating directly with John as well what I read on the company website. I will recommend Joyce Plumbing to family/friends.

As you can see by this shady plumber's response to my negative review... he is manipulative and condescending...
Number one ... he questions the integrity of my memory (gaslighting)
Number two ... he is telling me how to feel... that I will regret writing this review and dismissing my personal perspective on the predatory pricing tactics of this unethical plumber...
Folks... I just had a structural mainline break in my home complete flood factor and the legitimate plumber I called out charged me close to the same price THIS JACKASS RIP OFF ARTIST charged me to chisel some granite to install a dumb toilet....
I discussed the pricing this rip off plumber charged me to install an EFFING TOILET to the LEGIT plumber I had come out TO FIX MY MAINLINE BURST PIPE... and they sadly said I was ripped off...
This guy at JOYCE PLUMBING is predatory...
Karma is a bitch you have been served
And all reading this you have been warned...
And by the way... this Jack ass plumber is sending me harassing emails... so... something is clearly wrong with this guy
He goes in the category of shady contractors
OUTSTANDING! Do you have a plumbing job, I HIGHLY recommend Joyce Plumbing. My parents (who are elderly) had a toilet leaking from its base. From initial contact, booking, on time arrival, work completion and clean up John (the owner) did a tremendous job. He was polite, thorough and professional during the entire transaction. On top of all that his price was the lowest of several estimates we secured. I will ONLY call Joyce Plumbing for my future plumbing needs. Thank you John, my parents and I could not be more pleased!
I found John Joyce on the yelp website and read all the reviews. He was very personable, prompt (called me before he came out), efficient and explained what needed to be done. I had a outdoor pipe the had a huge leak. It was very hot the day he fixed it. He never complained and went straight to work. Very reasonable. I will call John if I ever need a plumber again. Thank you
Wow. Just absolutely wow. I fired my contractor and then the pipe in my bathroom breaks in the same day. John, the plumber just left and after of MONTHS of the chaos and headaches of trying to renovate our first home, he bought us genuine peace of mind. I was feeling discouraged and taken advantage of. I really trusted my so-call contractor..and yes, I did interview several contractors but he fooled me. Anyways, what does a plumber have to do with a contractor? Well John knows his stuff. He is more knowledgable of the overall, well everything, than the 4 dozen people I have talked to since I started renovating. He didn't put the work or person down, he was straight forward and said it how he saw it. That alone is telling. Not only that, he came to our house after 9pm and answered all our questions and concerns. Gave us options, and time to think about the next steps. (Most would just push and schedule then invoice.) AND he was so reasonably priced! What a breath of fresh air, he gave me hope again. Thank you, truly and sincerely thank you. Sorry if I'm over doing it a little, but there ARE good people out there. Not just ones trying to charm you, cut corners, and take your money. I will definitely call John in the future. Already asked him to schedule me for another plumbing issue that was done incompetently.

John Joyce delivers personalized service! My husband & I have been using John for over 3 years for every plumbing issue we've had; seems like we have something break or get clogged up several times a year! John even plumbed and installed our new gas oven the guys from Pacific Sales couldn't do. He's never in a hurry and you feel your job is the only one he's concerned with. John is a family man who is dedicated to his wife and children. You will not be disappointed using Joyce Plumbing!

Like many on here leaving reviews, I had a plumbing emergency and Joyce Plumbing was able to come over after hours to fix my issues. They assessed the problem and gave me a fair quote. Really professional...addressed me as sir and even asked permission to wash their hands in the sink. They even offered a new solution to a problem that I was previously told would cost thousands to repair. Seems like an honest company. Great experience.
The best service! Very fast and efficient the man that completed the service was able to re install pop ups to my bathroom sinks as well as install an updated p trap. He was very knowledgeable and kind! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs plumbing done. The job was done quickly and prices were affordable and honest !
My husband and I have used Joyce plumbing for years for both MAJOR and minor jobs. Jonh & Justin are always courteous & professional. They do great work.
I highly recommend Joyce Plumbing. Denver did a great job fixing a clog in my drain line after a couple of hours of trouble shooting.....very professional and a good price. I will use them again for my plumbing needs.
I'm really happy with Joyce Plumbing, I am grateful for their for fast and efficient, and awesome rates, I could kick myself for not calling him sooner, before I had other done, seriously. Thank you so much Johnny !!

We wanted to repair/replace an old, troublesome tub/shower valve. John encouraged us to up-grade to a newer type of valve. The new valve was more expensive, but we like it very much and see that it was good investment. John has been taking care of my old house plumbing issues for years. I trust his judgement.

Wonderful service. Called late on a Friday afternoon and also the start of a holiday Labor Day weekend. Mr. Joyce still came to my house, found the leak and made it where my water could at least be turned back on. He will return next week. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and fair with his pricing. I would definitely recommend him to others! Thank you!!
Outstanding service! Highly recommend using Joyce Plumbing. I had a clogged kitchen sink and he was able to get to our house with in a couple hours. He and his assistant were very professional and were very personable. Reasonably priced too!
Professional, honest, punctual, kind, efficient, clean, respectful, knowledgeable... we will be repeat customers.

He was very efficient in finding why my bathroom smelled like sewage and fixed it fast and we haven't smelled anything since. He was spot on. Positive stars for friendly and fast service! Thankful for the good service and would use again!

Joyce Plumbing is EXCELLENT! We had water overflowing from our toilets and bathroom drains and it had flooded our master bathroom and portions of our master bedroom. We called John, the owner, after hours and he was honest and advised it sounded like something that could wait for regular business hours since the water had started to recede. Saving us hundreds in an after hours repair. A very polite young man showed up the next morning right on time and quickly got to work. Gave us a quote before beginning. Within less than an hour our problem was solved. He cleaned up everything nicely and had excellent manners. Thank you Joyce Plumbing! We will absolutely be coming back to you for any possible future plumbing work.
We have used Joyce Plumbing for several issues, and have always had a pleasant experience! The prices are very fair and the work is fantastic. If you're looking for an honest plumber, give Joyce Plumbing a call.
I can't say enough positive comments about how professional, prompt, and efficient Johnny was. He came prepared ready to fix my toilet and flooding problem and I don't think it could have been done faster, at such a reasonable price, with such friendliness and class. He has 22+ years in the business and takes pride in his work and is extremely knowledgable. If you do have any plumbing issues you can rest at ease you are receiving professional service at an extremely fair price. He will, without a doubt be my first call for whatever plumbing issues I have in the future.
James F. was absolutely right! Planned my day around an appointment and passed over three others for this company to not show up at our scheduled time or not even call. So much for trying to support a small business. Poor business practice, a sign of the type of poor service I would've received.

I've never actually called these guys but received help from them anyway! A calamitous, wet mess under the sink during my housewarming party (of course) led me to discover that the p-trap was installed backwards as a poor substitute for a too-deep sink and garbage disposal not lining up properly with the waste pipe. As I was standing in Home Depot trying to figure out what parts I needed (for the third time), one of the Joyce plumbers recognized my distress, set down his own stuff to study the picture I had snapped on my phone, and then gathered up all the supplies I needed and laid them out for me in the correct configuration. Now that's just nice. Thank you!
Found them on Yelp and my local Neighborhood site so I thought I would email them a request - first they did not reply in the 50 minutes as stated - second when they did reply it was with a can't service busy now
When exactly is Now? Since I didn't request a time frame etc - anyway save yourself the time of contacting them.
Had a backed up bathroom sink and some concerns about a possibly related slow draining tub. Based on good Yelp reviews I called Joyce plumbing who came out with the clear top priority of clearing the sink that was clogged and not draining at all and second priority to check out the potentially slow draining tub.
Joyce's plumber came and attempted to clear the clog in the sink but was unsuccessful. I was told I would be charged for the work despite their inability to clear the drain but that while they were there he could snake out the tub that didn't appear to their plumber to be draining slow at no additional cost...i took them up on that offer because if I am getting charged anyway I might as well have them snake the tub.
I appreciated the offer to at least provide a positive outcome for their services with the the tub, who knows maybe the slow draining would did improve, I don't know, I didn't notice any difference but as a result i am increasing my original one star review to a two star. The main thing here is the primary reason for the service request was to clear the sink which was not achieved. When another plumber was put to the task from another company, the sink was unclogged within a half hour of his arrival.
Note: After seeing this review Joyce plumbing did call me to discuss the situation and wanted me to reconsider the one star review. In the end I did decide to up it to 2 but I definitely think of it as a solid 1.5. His reasoning was that services were still provided with the tub and that perhaps the second plumber was not concerned about potential destruction of the pipes between the sink and the main and possibly risked damaging them in in whatever method they used to declog it. To me, the bottom line in this the simple truth that:
I called Joyce to unclog a sink and they were not able to perform that task.
I called another plumber and they took care of it with no issues.
As a result I had to pay two plumbers to fix one problem that only the other plumbing company fixed.
Joyce gets good reviews in on yelp and that is generally how I select contractors and have had great success in the past. A low review like this is no doubt is a rare occurrence for this company and I honestly wish I never felt the need to write it because then I would have had my plumbing problem fixed without having to call another plumber and i would have a plumbing service that I felt confident in for any future problems.

Joyce Plumbing is an efficient and friendly company. They answered my phone call promptly at night and advised me on how to turn the water off to my appliance which was leaking. Then they promptly came out the next morning at 8 AM to attempt to fix the problem. They discovered another leak and repaired it for an affordable price. I will definitely not hesitate to use this company again, great service!
My initial review of Joyce Plumbing was 5 stars...I used them for clearing some sinks and some sink/garbage disposal estimate...Denver was amazing and advised me on a disposal and associated items needed...Now the problem...Called the next day to schedule install and was advised Denver was off 4 days, but the Owner John Joyce could install...He was hesitant to accept, questioned Denver's advise but said would come on Saturday between 10-11am...No call, No show..I called and texted repeated no response...Called EBP plumbing Liorgi responded, can at time stated installed for a fraction of the cost...If you're a business owner who can't keep their commitment to their customers you won't be in business long....Don't Use them
John Joyce's style is honesty and skilled worksmanship. When our water heater blew, John and Dallas showed up in about an hour to fix it. I got the sense that their emergency number is truly that - they will pick up the phone 24/7.
Within minutes, they had diagnosed the problem. It wasn't a leaking pipe, as I suspected. The old water heater had fallen off its last legs, and then some. John presented our two options and their benefits and disadvantages in a very clear way - tankless or tanked - that made it very easy for us to decide. There was no pressure or sales pitch - it seemed he wanted simply what was best for us. He asked about our family and our general needs to determine the best course forward.
During the job, John was very patient with our various questions about other maintenance items in the house. It's clear he knows what he's talking about. During the first call when I thought it was a smaller job and wanted him to inspect the anode rod, John turned down the possible business, telling me it's usually not a good cost proposition to replace the anode rods for a 3-year-old heater.
So it's now 3 hours later and they are totally done. I've seen through many water replacements in my time and I've never seen a 3-hour job including pickup. We're actually still waiting for a call back from another local plumber, but Joyce Plumbing already installed the new water heater. Everything works and is great. Won't hesitate to call back.

Hi,
I want to recommend Joyce Plumbing to anyone that has a tough plumbing job to do. I've never seen two harder working brothers in my life.
Joyce plumbing has been taking care of the large plumbing assignments for our condo HOA for several years. Some of their outside of the box solutions have saved us thousands of dollars.
Most recently, we had a bad slab leak in one of our buildings. The detection service that the HOA choose missed the spot completely. However, Justin Joyce just kept going, for 11 hours straight with that jackhammer, until he finally located the leak.
During those eleven hours of hard sweaty work, Justin kept a very calm and positive attitude, which must have been difficult considering the situation. His brother John was always available with that special tool, or advice on what to do next.
From now on, we'll always call Joyce Plumbing first, for a small or big job! Thanks Justin and John!
