I had a problem with my Noritz tankless one morning. On the phone, John walked me through what to do but it still wouldn't work as the fix needed someone with the required expertise. Somehow I got lucky and John said he could swing over soon. I was more then delighted as he quickly zeroed into the problem and even had the right part with him on hand. Most plumbers would have to order the part. The fix was done and I now have hot water again. After using so many plumbers over the years, John now goes to the top of my plumber list in my contact files. He was professional and overall a very nice guy. I will use him and highly recommend him.

I selected this company from Yelp. John Allen is great - there is a reason why he has 60 plus 5 stars Yelp reviews! John came out to inspect a broke pipe - he quickly determined that was not the main sewer line,but an non-working pipe (that was never used). Very honest - individual character is something that you want in an contractor. Do yourself a favor and call R.J. Plumbing. PS - John loves dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John has helped me numerous times over the past several years with a difficult house remodel. I looked forward to meeting with him, and valued his advice on the various issues we had to confront. I would whole heartedly recommend him.

What a great experience with R.J. Plumbing!
John replied to my request within minutes and was available for a free estimate the next day. He quickly identified where the leak was coming from and was able to fix it the following day. All while being on time, professional and polite. We will definitely use him again.

It's so refreshing to know there is plumber like John of RJ Plumbing that exists in this world. He is so professional and immediately made me feel like I made the right choice in hiring him to install my new dryer. I called several plumbers and RJ Plumbing was the only one who followed through in a timely manner and called me back with an estimate to install my dryer. John was on time and was done with the installation very quickly. He also saved me money on parts I had bought for the dryer, so I was able to take it back to Sears for a refund. Before he left, he also arranged for someone to pick up my old dryer for free. That was a relief since I really was not looking forward to taking care of that issue. John was personable, honest and seemed very knowledgable. An added plus is he only lives a few blocks away from me. I really liked the idea of having a plumber that I could count on. I would have no problem recommending RJ Plumbing to any of my friends.

Just called John at RJ Plumbing. He was not immediately available to fix our clogged kitchen sink but gave me 2 referrals for other plumbers. So although I cannot speak to his plumbing skills, I think that fact that he passes business to other people when he cannot take it speaks volumes for his character. Would definitely try him again.

John is great! He gave me an estimate over the phone for a couple of issues with two toilets. He showed up on time, brought everything he needed with him, got to work, finished in an hour, and billed me LESS than the estimate! I will definitely call him when needed in the future, as well as recommend him to others!

John was quick to provide an estimate, priced our job very fairly, and completed the work quickly and efficiently. Would highly recommend him!!

Raul with RJ Plumbing is a true professional. He was very responsive to my inquiries regarding my toilet leaking issues. He was timely in providing a very competitive quote for tank flush & fill valve replacements for dual flush toilets. Raul was available to perform the work within days of providing the authorization to proceed with the work. Raul did such an outstanding job I have now contracted with him to install a new 50 gallon water heater next week. If you ever have any plumbing issues don't hesitate to contact Raul. I'm sure you will be a happy customer was Raul completes his work.

Once again I had a problem-this time it was the kitchen sink. I called the office on Thursday asking for Monday appointment after 2pm. I had to leave a message, but I got a return call and Monday late appointment. Every part of John's business works like a charm. It still has a wonderful small business feel with A++ service. I even talked with John about the posibility of some future remodel work. John is GREAT. I would rather wait for John to be available then call any other plumber. Thanks again John!

I had a leak in my kitchen and found R.J. plumbing on yelp! Only great reviews, so I called them and they called back immediately. They understood my problem, knew I was on a budget and were for a lack of any better words...TOTALLLY AWESOME!!! John, from R.J. plumbing showed up on time, diagnosed the problem and was professional, kind and fixed the leak! If you ever have any plumbing needs...bummer, but the plus, this company exists and will do a fantastic job at an affordable rate!!! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Thanks R.J. plumbing!!!

These guys are amazing! John was the one that worked with me and he's very honest about my plumbing issues, instead of upselling me. I saved a lot of money and appreciate the help provided! You can trust these guys like I did.

John was on time, fast, friendly and efficient. We called John to replace a round toilet with an elongated one. I originally told him we would purchase the toilet through him without realizing my husband had already bought one on sale at Home Depot. I was just about to call him to let him know when he rang me to confirm our appointment. He had just left the supplier with the toilet I had told him to get and I felt terrible. He was very professional and told me no worries, he would just keep the toilet in his inventory. When he arrived, he went the extra mile by unloading the toilet we had purchased out of our vehicle and carrying it to our unit. He was in and out in less than an hour which we were thrilled about. The toilet looks great and my husband is finally happy to have an elongated toilet! I guess it's a guy thing! :). I would definitely recommend John to anyone looking to get work completed. His prices were very fair and he just seems like a real down to earth guy. He is the owner/operator and we like to support small businesses.

Great experience. John came out to move the gas line for my outdoor bbq and also re-do the gas line for the stove inside. Excellent work. I would definitely use RJ Plumbing again.

John showed up exactly when he said he would, helped diagnose the problem while offering valuable advice and insight on things to look for and other things that may be contributing to the problem, tried a couple of things with me live and ultimately solved my problem with a short term solution while leaving me options for a longer term fix if I wanted to move forward with them later. Exactly how you'd dream someone would help you fix your plumbing problem. Recommended to all.

John is great! Very professional and works fast. Came over and fixed two toilets that I had problems with (one that had a leak and the other one took a long time to refill). He fixed both toilets in a flash and was very reasonable with pricing. Thanks John. My go to plumber now!

Called up RJ Plumbing and John was able to come next day. John swing by to inspect and fix the copper wire responsible for sustaining the pilot light on the water heater. He was very quick, professional, and honest! Good to have hit water back at home!

Plumbing experiences are never how I want to spend my day - but John responded immediately, showed up and replaced a defective water heater all in just a few hours. So... prompt and good work.

John with R.J. Plumbing is outstanding. He is very nice, reliable, efficient and as well as punctual too. His work is also done right the first time. He had snaked my bathtub not too long ago. And today I had my water heater replaced by John. He is the only plumber I trust!!!

Jack B.

03/11/2016 12:00:00 SA

All of the other reviews are right on the money. It was partially lucky timing, because he just happened to be in my area, but he arrived in about 15 minutes. I had a problem with my Rheem water heater and he was on their list of referrals. I normally use another plumbing company and have been very happy with them. Now I am going to torn about who to call first.
John even took the extra time to order the warranty part for me from Rheem. He could have just left that for me to do.
Small business owners, like John, are the kind of people that you want to give your money to.

You do not get nearly all 5 star reviews by doing anything but exceptional, honest work as a plumber. After interviewing numerous plumbers I hired John to add a washer dryer hook up and install a washer dryer unit. He did such a professional job! I was so impressed by how clean of a job he did, how kind and professional he was, and his price was reasonable and even less expensive than some other options I had. I also liked how he did not charge a credit card fee just for using a credit card, like so many merchants are doing these days and passing on what is usually a merchant cost of business directly to the consumer. So glad that in the end I chose John! Couldnt be happier with my choice and the result.

It's funny, today I saw Mattucci Plumbing's truck drive by, and I was reminded of my experience with them and R.J. Plumbing last year, and I said to myself, I need to share this on Yelp.

I bought my house last year and discovered the water heater's pilot light igniter was failing. If I was able to get the pilot to light, it would go out after half an hour. The heater was about 7 years old.

I first called Mattucci and they sent someone over. The guy stood there, looked at the heater from afar, and told me it was a piece of junk. Without even trying to diagnose the problem or to see what might be wrong, he was pushing me to buy a brand new heater from him at an outrageously inflated price. I showed him the door.

Then I called RJ Plumbing. John, the owner, came by and immediately I could tell I made the right decision. John tried his best to fix the issue. He took apart the igniter unit, cleaned out various things, and tried for about an hour to get it to work. And it looked like he finally did. I gladly paid him for his work and he left.

A couple of hours later, the pilot went out again. I called John up and he came by again. He tried to fix it again, but he figured the igniter was beyond saving. He helped me call the manufacturer for replacement parts, but between the cost of the replacement parts and the time it would take for the parts to arrive, I decided to just buy a new one from John.

He not only gave me a great deal on a brand new water heater (cheaper than if I were to buy it myself and lug it home from Home Depot), he applied the labor fees that I paid him earlier that day towards the installation! It was a gesture that was very much appreciated.

John installed my new water heater quickly and professionally, and it has been working great.

John is very knowledgeable, very friendly, stands by his work, and very honest. Thankfully I have not had any other plumbing issues since then, but if I ever do, I would not hesitate to call him up again. Highly recommended!

By the way, as I stepped outside my door the other day, I saw his truck drive by, and John waved hello. How very nice that he remembered me!

What a great experience! (hard to believe I'm saying this about a clogged tub). We live in a older beach house (renting) and needed to desperately address a clogged tub. John came out and assessed that before he could do that, he needed to reseat the tub drain pipe. He gave me an estimate and said he'd be back on Monday as he needed to get the appropriate parts.

Sure enough, he showed up on time and ready to go. Within 45 min, it was all done and he even cleaned up after fixing things. He also fixed another part of the tub (diverter?) absorbing the cost into the quote. We didn't pay a cent more than was quoted. He was polite, professional and did an excellent job. And was incredibly patient with all my questions.

I would have no problem recommending him to friends, family and complete strangers. Reasonably priced and worth the time.

We're keeping his business card handy because we might need him again for this old house. :)

John was professional, on time, and quick to install a water heater for us after giving us a quote which exactly matched what he charged us after doing the work. Highly recommend.

John just left a short while ago. I had requested a quote though Yelp. He was quick to respond. Made an appointment for last week to take a look at the issue. Clearly laid out the options and costs. Made an appointment for today to get the work done and delivered wonderfully. He was running late but communicated that ahead of time, so I didn't mind. He did a great job and my sink now is great!!

John from RJ Plumbing was very helpful even though he couldn't come to fix the sink/drain problem in the house due to schedule. Although, John didn't do the job, he took the time to understand the situation in order to help me. He recommended Darren, another plumber, who fixed the the kitchen and bathroom sink in no time and charged a very reasonable price. Darren was very thorough with his job; further, he also cleaned the area after he was done. Thank you John for your good heart and going out of your way to help me and also promoting other great people.

02/08/2018 12:00:00 SA

John continues to be my go to plumber. He is on time and respectful, as well as reasonably charged. The plumbers that installed my water filtration device (chosen by the company, not me), told me we would have to drain all the water out of my house in order to fix a leak underneath. John did not have to do this and quoted me less. He just changed out my hardware on two sinks. For this he charges $275 to give you an idea of cost. He deserves his 5 star reviews on Yelp. :)

Tiffany M.

9/30/2013

Oh John, why is your service so fantastic?! Best plumbing experience I've ever had. (I know... kinda a weird statement)

Let's be honest, We all get a little anxiety with plumbers... It's like a mechanic for your house. You have one problem and then they show up and allllllll of a sudden they disclose that your house is on the verge some catastrophic disaster... (I'm sure you can relate)

Fear not, RJ plumbing is not the same!

First, he was super respectful and removed his shoes before entering (we don't wear shoes in our house). So, super big thumbs up for that!

John was so personable, prompt, and courteous. He took his time to explain the deets before the service and recommended other options to save money.

Highly recommended. Perhaps I should break the toilet so I can have this awesome experience all over again. ;)

PS. His wife was super nice and friendly also.

I've just moved into the neighborhood for about a year and my guest bathroom shower was not dispensing hot water. I called RJ plumbing based on the good reviews here on Yelp. They were able to schedule a 4-6pm time slot which was convenient for me to make it home from work without taking a day off. The lady gave me a ball park estimate over the phone based on the problem I described and sure enough the final bill was spot on. So no unpleasant surprises there. John showed up right on time and he was very professional and courteous. He even asked to take his shoes off before entering the house without me asking. That is first class. He showed me what the problem was and finished fixing everything under an hour. Now my shower is working like a champ and my friends will appreciate a hot shower when they visit. I'll definitely recommend RJP to others and I wouldn't hesitate to call them back again for future work. Great job!

Laney K.

10/04/2020 12:00:00 SA

John is the best! Call up RJ Plumbing for all your plumbing needs. I recently got the tankless water heater descaled by him and it's running great! Since we have hard water here in South Bay, it's a good idea to have tankless water heaters serviced annually to clean out all the calcium build up. Easy to make an appointment, very reasonable pricing, punctual, professional and honest. Highly recommend~

Elaine K.

Our hot water heater burst today and John fro RJ Plumbing saved the day. He was on time, courteous and charged a fair price. He also discovered that our main shutoff valve was broken and repaired that for us too. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

Janelle M.

10/27/2011

John fixed our kitchen sink as well as the washing machine hoses and facuet. Could not have found a better plumber. Reasonablly priced, extremely personable and very quick at letting us know the problem and fixing it on the spot! I would highly reccommend R.J. Plumbing to anyone in the local area. As a general contractor's daughter, I am very critical on home projects, John is tops in our book! Thank you and thank you for the discount card for our next service mailed to us the following week!

4/28/2016

I had already completed some of the legwork for a cleanout drain and needed a recommendation regarding next steps for repair, John's experience provided a straightforward, simple and inexpensive fix (a solution that I was unaware of after research) to the problem. John arrived early, was professional, and as another reviewer pointed out, experience is the key!

Oh man, we would not have the beautiful remodeled bathroom without John and his wife, Karen. We took out the tub and put in a walk-in shower. They recommended a great tile guy, a hot mop guy, and a cement cutter. Everyone they recommended were extremely courteous and professional....but mostly knowledgeable about their work.

John even recommended buying a particular toilet that saved us money and known by him to be a great product. He was very truthful when we took out the tub and found four pipes that could not be moved and worked with our tile guy to come up with a great solution. John, has been our plumber for years and always does excellent work. Nice to work with, too.

Loretta W.

8/27/2014

I had leaks on top of and under my kitchen sink and dreaded choosing a plumber. But after reading such positive reviews on YELP about John (and so many of them!) I called him. He came over the same afternoon to assess the problem and scheduled an appointment for me the very next day. I was super pleased with him and his work. I'm glad I trusted what I read on YELP about him and I say ditto! He said he learned plumbing from his father. Nothing like old school for perfect work and work ethic.

Brett C.

4/18/2011

I had a problem with my water heater, the problem was resolved in a reasonable amount of time, and at a fair price too. John was wonderful to work with. He gave me all the options (replace vs. repair) plus took the time to call the manufacturer. The heater was still under warranty, helped order the parts, (at no price to me) and then installed the new parts the following day. He made sure the water heater was operational while the parts were being shipped. He saved me a good chunk of money with the repair and I am a very happy customer. I highly recommend RJ Plumbing and will definitely use this company again.

Debra B.

08/02/2011 12:00:00 SA

Our hot water heater stopped working Friday before a holiday weekend. I called RJ Plumbing and got the machine. He took the time to call me back to let me know he was out of town. After calls to a couple other local guys, Home Depot and even Mike Diamond Plumbing ($875 estimate with $76 service call) I came up empty. We went the whole weekend with no hot water.

Tuesday morning I started calling again, they actually cleared some time to come install a new heater, for less then Home Depot quoted.

They were awesome :)

Tripp F.

10/26/2016

John is awesome. He's provided excellent service multiple times over the last 8 years. We have shared his contact to all our neighbors and friends in need and they have agreed with our confidence in the quality of the work.

John at RJ Plumbing was just fantastic! Cleaned up a mess that was in our pipes under our kitchen sink that another plumber was unable to fix and did it quickly and professionally. Even fixed a toilet... no fuss, no muss! Will never call anyone else for our plumbing needs. Great work!

Jonathan C.

9/19/2014

We had a tile floor put in, and did not notice a small gap between the toilet wax ring and the toilet. Eventually some small amount of moisture appeared, and we called John. He immediately identified the issue, added a second ring, and was done quite straight away. He even came back just now to adjust it for us at no cost as it settled and was in need of a shim. He cleans up afterwards (rare), caulks the job (somewhat rare) and has his supplies in the truck.

John is very reasonably priced, efficient, courteous, a really nice guy and even on time! Dealing with them over the phone is also a pleasant, easy process.

He has been plumbing for many years and seems to do it all, big job or small.

Thanks very much John!

10/12/2012 12:00:00 SA

This has to be one of the best plumbers on the planet. Right on time, clean, super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Great price too. He replaced my shutoff valve in about 15 minutes. Other plumbers told me 2 hours minimum. He is a real find.

Christy M.

8/16/2010

Excellent plumber, responds timely, very reasonable and honest! If you want an honest plumber, call John Allen at RJ Plumbing. He's a local from the South Bay and very reliable! I recommend him to all my friends! Smells good most of the time too:)

Connie Y.

6/17/2020

My mom's water heater was making noises that were worrying her, so I finally called John to ask him to take a look. He was prompt, friendly and considerate (he wore a mask and even removed his shoes.) He flushed out some of the sediment, checked the pipes, and explained to my mom that the noises are normal and there isn't anything to worry about. (Even though I told her the same, she didn't believe me!) Anyway, I'm thankful that her mind is at ease now. John was also nice enough to check the water flow and suggest changes in order to try to improve it.

Tammy H.

9/20/2017

Above and beyond. No wonder they have 100% five rating! I needed a gas line repaired and John was the only plumber to analyze the root cause to come up with the most efficient solution. The repair was completed in less time, with less cost than any other plumber could have done. He even found away to move around certain cabinets and a difficult lazy Susan so I didn't have to replace them AND after he was done the lazy Susan worked better than it had in years.

Stacey R.

6/22/2016

I'm happy to give this company a 5 star review. John is very professional, friendly, and honest each time he's come to do some work. He has unclogged a drain, fixed a faucet, and redone a section of a bathroom sewage pipe. There's some additional work that needs to be done on the sewage pipe for our bathroom and I will be scheduling that work to be done in the future. He showed me a picture of the work to be done and explained everything thoroughly regarding what he did as a temporary fix, how long we can wait to schedule the work, and described the extent of what was to be done. I highly recommend him!

Peter K.

3/17/2020

Called RJ Plumbing as a small leak was discovered on a saddle tap for my fridge. I don't like taking chances with plumbing, so I looked for an experienced professional rather than making things worse or ignoring something that needs to be taken care of right away. John came by right at the start of the 2 hr window he gave me. He was friendly and professional. He diagnosed the problem and explained to be the situation and my options. I agreed with his advice to try and take the easier (and certainly less costly) route and he was able to do a bit of work to stabilize the saddle and take off a cap and attach a water line expertly without worsening the issue. Everything was completed in about 20 minutes and I was charged only for the service call. All in all, I was very satisfied with the service provided. Recommend.

John and RJ Plumbing is not just the best plumber, but probably the best contractor of any type that I have worked with since first becoming a home owner in 2002. I'd give them 6 stars, if I could.

I called about five plumbers to help re-build my tub drain and trap. Four came for an estimate, but just three actually provided an estimate. My house is on a slab, and two of them wanted to jack hammer the slab under my bathroom to get at the drain. It would also mean that I would have to find new 12 tiles, which would never match. John took a little extra time to analyze how the original drain was constructed and came up with a much faster and much less expensive solution. I awarded the job on the spot. The key is EXPERIENCE. Other plumbers will send out a newer technician or a sales person to provide your estimate. As the owner, John has the experience to see the most options and provide the best solution. Fortunately, he also does his own estimates.

He arrived on time, worked with limited access and finished on time and on budget. The work was elegant and completed with a high level of craftsmanship (see photo). Amazing and wonderful. For your next plumbing project, feel free to get additional bids if you like, but make sure that one of them is from RJ. Even with just one job completed, I have a high level trust with RJ Plumbing.

John from R.J. Plumbing installed a new water heater for us several months ago and compared to other estimates, he was very reasonable. He shows up when he is supposed to and is a real nice guy!

6/14/2022

I sadly write this review due to the repeated non-response of John and RJ Plumbing, both this year and last. Most recently I left a message describing services needed early yesterday morning via both his preferred text and the listed office phone to address. I had three plumbing issues at my home: drain stoppers, a leaky faucet base, and replacing a kitchen faucet. He has not responded via text or phone. The same thing happened about a year ago or so; I chalked it up to Covid, but maybe not.

To be fair, I'd used John in the past; he was excellent, fair-priced, and efficient, even answering questions about what I'd need to do to maintain his new repairs. I'm sorry that he has become non-responsive.

James M.

01/03/2014 12:00:00 SA

John is great...a friendly, honest and generally good guy. Family owned business. Watch out and BEWARE of other RJ Plumbing copycats. John is the Redondo beach location. I didn't give a 5 star rating because he tends to be a bit pricy, but he does the job right. I guess you get what you pay for, right?

Trey W.

01/02/2015 12:00:00 SA

Left a voicemail for RJ Plumbing around 4:00 PM on a Friday (also a Holiday for most!) - John provided a super quick call-back response, very professional. Ended up remedying issue on my own and did not use John's services, but was very impressed with his polite, prompt response to my last minute request!

Thanks, John!

Kit M.

02/08/2018 12:00:00 SA

I have a good experience and would highly recommended RJ plumbing. The service are excellent and they are friendly. John diagnose the problem and give me all the options to fix my leaking faucet which I highly appreciated most people will try to get the most out of you but not with RJ plumbing. I decided to change the whole faucet and will call them once I got a new faucet and they did not charge me that day to look at the problem like most plumbers will. I love RJ plumbing and highly recommend them they never force their service they let you decide to all the options. They are friendly when you call them or during the plumbing works. They have a good price and no overcharged at all

I've used yelp for reviews for a long time but hadn't felt strongly enough to write a review until now. It's time I give back.

We hired RJ Plumbing to replace a water heater that was long overdue for replacement. It finally started leaking and we knew it was time. Reached out to various places. John was very professional in his communication, provided a reasonable estimate on both time to fix and cost, and stuck to both of them. He helped assess what needed to be done as a result of the leak which helped give us piece of mind on next steps. He actually showed up ahead of schedule and had quoted about 2 hours to swap it out but it took substantially less - I guess it was a relatively simple situation (water heater in garage with relatively easy access).

I then asked about a bbq gas line that was incorrectly installed (hint: stay away from Fix All Plumbing who messed it up initially) and he gave me the information I needed to fix it myself instead of doing it himself which definitely saved me some money. I followed his instructions and was able to seamlessly fix it with $30 in parts.

I find it rare to come across an honest plumber (several bad experiences), so it was refreshing to work with John. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat for the next issue we face.

Thanks John!

I called RJ Plumbing for a plumbing emergency first thing on a Monday morning. It took a couple of hours for Karen to call me back, but she was very helpful, understanding & pleasant to deal with. She scheduled two sub-contractors to come out that day - one from Eagle Eye Detections, a leak detection specialist, and the other from TFM mold & water damage.
This review deals mainly with these two gentlemen, since RJ didn't actually perform the work.

Anthony from Eagle Eye Detections showed up earlier than expected and spent a LOT of time isolating a slow leak in a pipe feeding the kitchen faucet. He was very professional, and not only found the leak, but was able to fix it on the spot for an extra charge. The only issue I have is that he hooked up an air line to the pipes to force the water out, but didn't stick around long enough to ensure that all of the air was bled out correctly. If I didn't have a basic understanding of plumbing, I would've had to have him come out a second time to figure out why the supply lines inside the toilet tanks blew off of their connections and leak onto the bathroom floors.

Thomas from TFM water damage started the cleanup immediately. Actually both of these gentlemen were done well before my insurance could send someone out to estimate the damage. Thomas is probably a little too pushy - I had to rein him in, so my agent could get a mold specialist out to assess that damage. It's apparent that he doesn't like to wait.

Judging by the previous reviews of RJ Plumbing, I'd probably call them again when another issue arises. I'm dismayed that they're only available M-F, since practically every plumbing emergency I've ever encountered seems to happen after hours and on weekends.

John at RJ's Plumbing rocks. 2 weeks after buying our townhouse our water heater busted. I called his office in the evening and he was at my house the next morning with a new American-made (major points) water heater. 3 months later a pipe bursts in our wall and again, he was at my house within 2 hours to assess the situation. He came back with a leak specialist after his other calls and got everything done by the end of the day.

His office assistant is very nice and on top of everything.

Trustworthy and priced-well. I asked him about some other plumbing issues and he told me how to fix it myself. Sometimes I get a little sketchy about letting in contractors when I'm the only one home, but felt totally safe with RJ's Plumbing. Makes me love living in a small-ish community.

It is all true! John is dependable, honest, friendly and knows his stuff. I called John last night and he was at my door this morning at 10am with a smile. This guy is a true professional. He fixed our backed up clogged kitchen sink in 45 minutes and was on his way. He will not charge you an arm and a leg either. He gave us some advice on some other household plumbing issues as well. Don't hesitate, this is the company you want to call for a worry free no hassle fix. This is my go to company from now on. Thanks John- you rock!

I searched Yelp! for a great plumber to help my dear Mom. RJ Plumbing was fully booked up for a couple of days, and Karen (in office, super great person) offered phone numbers to their competition if we needed service immediately. That was nice, but Mom's drain was just really slow, so we opted to wait for the RJ Plumbing with the super-fantastic Yelp reviews. .... Totally worth it. :-)

My Mom reports that a very tall plumber arrived who was super nice and clean & courteous, plus he was highly skilled. He cleared the drain, and replaced some fittings under the sink and made Mom feel at ease. She just knew things were going to be all right because he was so nice and competent. She said he is a thinker. He considered each part of the problem & the correct way to approach it.
And - way better than the previous lameo who couldn't fix a slow drain - RJ didn't make any mess. RJ totally solved the problem in all ways possible. We don't expect to have any more issues with Moms kitchen sink for years to come. BTW; RJ recommends against dumping cooked rice down the drain.

When it came time to pay the bill, he offered Mom a senior discount, so even including the extra parts & labor it was still not much over a hundred bucks. (Original estimate was $95) Mom was thrilled with the service, and we know who to call next time we have a plumbing issue. I can see why RJ Plumbing is booked up days in advance. :-)
This was truly a 5 star experience, that couldn't have been better.

Were able to provide a quote online and came in under their quote. Advised me against services I didn't actually need and were quick and clean. All around great service.

Marina C.

7/20/2022

John was amazing! He's the only plumber I've ever met who didn't try to up charge me just because I live in a nice neighborhood. He gave me the same quote as the last time we worked together, which rarely happens with other plumbers. He was quick, on time and super helpful. Honest guy.

Linda G.

Great service! On-time, polite, fair price and did a great job on our tankless water heater. Very professional. I will definitely use again.

John came in and worked very professionally to replace my garbage disposal. He first tried to repair the existing, even though I was ready for a new one. He seems to have the consumer's best interest in mind.

04/07/2016 12:00:00 SA

Had a leaking toilet in one of our bathrooms and the toilet required replacement. John from RJ Plumbing removed the old toilet and installed a new unit in about 45 minutes! John's a real professional -- friendly, knowledgeable and personable. I've used RJ Plumbing in the past and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend RJ Plumbing -- you won't be sorry.

Our water heater was acting up and I found John from RJ Plumbing here on Yelp. He was able to set up an appointment for a couple days later and came to take a look (no charge). Our water heater unfortunately could only take their specific manufacturer part so the universal one John had could not be installed. John had us call the manufacturer to see the cost of the part and let us know what price would be worth fixing vs. installing a new heater (since our water heater was out of warranty - last company we hired to install a new heater in 2012 gave us a heater from 2009 - jerks!!). Turned out it was better to just install in a new water heater and we happily used John who was professional, timely and affordable. I would recommend him to anyone!

John from RJ Plumbing did a great job - and most importantly he was friendly, clean, prompt and so helpful! It's so nice to find a plumber that you can count on if you need something fixed! Prices were reasonable too - definitely a plus!

We will be calling him again if we ever need plumbing help!

PJ M.

called initially based on the yelp ratings and thanking the community for the reference. This is a really great service and John is very reliable on being punctual and communicating appointment times. Would recommend.

I highly recommend John for your plumbing needs. He did maintenance on my tankless water heater, installed a water softener and installed a seismic gas valve for my home. Never tried to upsell me and did outstanding work.

Matt J.

8/21/2018

Absolutely awesome. John was on time, friendly, knowledgable and very reasonable. We had a slow shower drain that another plumber couldn't snake and said we needed new pipes. John came and snaked it in about 20 minutes, cleaned up and was on his way. 6 stars if I could give it.

Robert G.

06/03/2021 12:00:00 SA

R.J. Plumbing is a one man shop. John is honest, personable, on time, prices are reasonable, and last but not least, he's a really good plumber. We plan to use his services in the future. He gets booked up so plan ahead. He doesn't do emergency calls.

Minna O.

10/12/2022 12:00:00 SA

I wanted to descale my water heater and reached out to 3 different companies for a quote. R.J. Plumbing offered the best rate. Due to a scheduling mix-up I went with a different company, but John was incredibly understanding and professional about the situation. When I need work done in the future I will contact R.J. Plumbing. John is straightforward and does not try to fleece you.

Cabensons B.

John was great with communication and very fair on price for scope of work we needed! Definitely would recommend. We will be using him for all our future plumbing needs(which we also hope won't be anytime soon) :)

10/17/2011

Our bathroom faucet was leaking and our tub was draining slowly so I called this place because of all the positive reviews on Yelp. They gave me a narrow 2 hour window of arrival within one day, which was nice so I didn't have to sit around for hours waiting.
In fact, John came right on time. He was very conscientious about cleanliness, very professional, and friendly. He gave me his card at the end, and he is also the president of the company. He told me where I could get the parts I needed and he could return to replace them, since that would be cheaper than if he got the parts himself. Also, he fixed our drain. It was quick, painless, and the price was very reasonable.
I'm gonna be calling him to come back for the sink, so I will update, but I would highly recommend him for plumbing needs.

Lucky D.

9/20/2019

John is the epitome of what a real professional is!!!
John is a great guy! He is someone that absolutely cares about your problems instead of how much money he is going to make.
He came out to diagnose and fix my sink/faucet problem in no time.
Thanks John!!! you're a Southbay National Treasure!!!

2/26/2012

Awesome service all around. I had a bizarre leak from a new water heater and I called and talked to the receptionist there, She was amazingly helpful (wish I got her name) I set an appointment for Thursday at 9:00am. At 9:00 am sharp my door bell rang, John was on time and polite, his work quality was top notch he was respectful and fair with his pricing.. I have my new plumber.. Thanks R.J Plumbing

07/08/2023 12:00:00 SA

Finally! Someone with integrity, skill, manners, and a reasonable rate. He's old school, highly skilled, and very smart.

I had a parade of plumbers over the years - none of whom could fix the issues I had paid them to fix. John fixed all of them in an hour because he understood (vs. guessed) the root cause. He also did my tankless water heater replacement fast and flawlessly. 100% + satisfied.

Do yourself a favor and stop looking around. John is the best.

Sascha H.

08/01/2022 12:00:00 SA

John was fantastic - got to us within a couple of days which I was not expecting (it was not an emergency). Fixed our toilet flush, snaked our kitchen sink and, in a return visit, bought and replaced the garbage disposal. Lovely to deal with, super straightforward and happy to explain things and give options. Everything is working great again! Highly recommend.

These guys are great!

I had a gas leak and the gas company shut off the gas to my house. That meant no hot water, no stove and no heat.

I called about 10 plumbers. RJ Plumbers was the only company that changed their schedule to get out to help me right away. It was also right around the holidays when all the other businesses were closed.

They fixed the problem right away and even called with a follow up to make sure everything was still in working order. They explained the issue and how they fixed it as well.

I will continue to work with these guys.

6/28/2016

I've had John come out on two separate occasions now and both were extremely positive experiences. The first job was to replace the hardware on our pedestal sink in the downstairs bathroom. John arrived on time and quoted the job after assessing the current sink/hardware configuration. After installing the new hardware, he noticed the stopper was missing a piece required to function properly. Rather than leave it as is and call it a day, he advised me to swap it out for a working one and offered to come back the next day and finish the job.

Yesterday, I had John come back to look at my upstairs sink which had been draining slow and was now at a full clog. John advised against snaking it right away as the trap was old and could break causing an even bigger issue. He plunged the sink and was able to clear the clog in no time. He also took the time to explain the reason for the clog and gave some recommendations on possible upgrades.

I can't recommend R.J. Plumbing enough for their services.

Tim T.

02/06/2013 12:00:00 SA

First time we used John, he checked out our situation and quoted a price much less than other plumber. His approach was repair first, replace only when necessary. He has done sinks, showers, toilets and more for us. Water or pipes get mentioned, I say Call John because I trust him and most important my wife and kids do too. Very important since he is in and out of our house; we like that he shares ideas of how to better maintain our pipes and appliances to avoid future problems. He goes above and beyond, add in great prices and fact he backs up (pun intended) his work, he runs a great business. We are glad to know he is just a phone call away if needed, thanks!

Stacey R.

12/03/2020 12:00:00 SA

I highly recommend RJ Plumbing. He arrives when he says he will and always does a good job. Fair prices and honest. We have called him for plugged drains, water heater replacement, and water pressure issues.

Angela B.

05/04/2011 12:00:00 SA

R.J. Plumbing is the company to go to with for all your plumbing needs! I first sent an email to John regarding our issue. He promptly responded with suggestions. When we found out the leak in our jacuzzi tub was in a discontinued heater unit, he suggested we buy it online and he would install it. It worked out perfectly for us! He was able to squeeze us in right away and even arrived early!!! I have never had a plumber arrive early. The woman who answers the phone is super friendly also. I hope I never have to call a plumber again but if I do, I will call R.J. Plumbing.

Ben S.

09/03/2020 12:00:00 SA

Great service overall. We had a Plumbing issue with toilet. Prompt response to request to come check out and resolved issue on site (w clear explanation as to what happened). Highly recommend and will continue to use for any future issues

I had the best experience with John and R.J. plumbing. John is incredibly genuine, honest, and reliable. This was evident in every single one of my interactions with him. He is knowledgeable, patient, and he knows what he is doing, and most importantly, he is fair. John is now my go-to for any plumbing matter. If i could give 10 stars I would!

John is fantastic! His quote to fix a outdoor pipe leak was the most reasonable and honest. He fixed the problem quickly and was extremely professional. Would highly recommend RJ Plumbing and John when you have a plumbing needs!

Jim R.

1/27/2021

John was terrific. He arrived right on the dot, quickly assessed our drain. problem and fixed it. He is coming back in a couple of days to install a new faucet. We will definitely call John for any future plumbing problems. We highly recommend him.

Lorraine W.

I called and got an appointment for the same afternoon to have my tub leak fixed and the drain cleared. John was fast, professional, clean, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend and will use again when needed.

Misty E.

12/16/2014

Karen (aka John's wife): No - Misty is my nickname and I did not mistakenly write the review.
Your husband and I agreed on a price over the phone. When we missed each other on the appointment day (he didn't bother to knock loud enough), he offered to come back the following day. He arrived the next day and did his work - charging me extra for installing a German-made faucet (which I bought from Costco for crying out loud!!) and adding on a surcharge for the trip out to my house the first time. He never bothered to tell me about the surcharge over the phone or before he started work (I was already pissed at having to pay extra for him to install the German-made faucet). When I complained about not being aware of the surcharge, he stood towering over me with a threatening look. What an ###. Stay away from this rip-off artist. Patronize the hard-working, honest plumbers out there - anyone but this jerk.

We needed a new main shut-off valve and John of R.J. Plumbing had done a great job on a neighbor's valve replacement. It's a messy job, involving concrete demolition and a water shut-off for the whole condo complex so I wanted the work done right and on-time.

R.J. Plumbing did a great job on the valve replacement.

1) They return calls very quickly and follow-up thoroughly on questions regarding cost, schedule, etc.
2) John showed-up right on time and he kept me posted during the whole job on progress and problems
3) He did the work right the first time and thoroughly cleaned-up after the job was finished
4) John was always polite and professional
5) They did the work for the price promised

I would recommend R.J. Plumbing for ANY plumbing work.

Tina M.

11/05/2013 12:00:00 SA

Great experience and reasonable price.

I heard a sound like I had left a hose running. After checking all the hoses, pool, faucets, etc the sound could still be heard from under the house. I called RJ based on the great reviews here on Yelp. It was a Friday and I really didn't have an expectation that someone would be available. As luck would have it, John had a break in another job and came over within an hour. Thank goodness he did. There was a small hole in a pipe that was shooting water non stop. John was able to put a clamp on it to stop the water. He returned the week following to replace the pipe section. It was so wet under the house it made sense to wait a few days for it to dry out.

He was very professional and transparent with everything he did. Showed me photos before the clamp was applied and even handed me the section of pipe he replaced.

I have heard so many terrible stories from friends about various local plumbers. I have told all of them to put RJ into their phone directory. Professional, clean, and honest. Plus John's wife who answered the phone was really great too. Once she heard my story she knew it was a pin hole leak and it needed to be addressed quickly. If she had not tried to see if John had a break in the other job he was working that day, I would of had to find someone else. She didn't over promise, but she sure did come through.

G Q.

John replaced the water heater in my home recently. I highly recommend his business. He was very responsive to all my questions and gave me a reasonable quote. If I ever need a plumber, I will use him again.

Stephen L.

12/19/2019

RJ plumbing was one of the best plumber experience. He came on a short notice, fixed the plumbing issue, and even helped us a leak that was a result of another contractor who didn't finish their job properly. I highly recommend him!

Linda B.

5/16/2018

We found out about John and R.J. Plumbing from his wife Karen who happened to be my wonderful nurse after surgery at LCM. Lucky for us, as we just had a water heater liner develop a large leak (of course it happened while we were gone). John was able to fit us it the very day we called, replaced the water heater (which was still under warranty!) and it was done so quickly. He is just a kind as his sweet wife, John is now our go-to plumber!

Michael A.

5/23/2013

I was so impressed by this plumber that I just had to review. The guys from RJ are legit! We had a pretty badly leaking tap in the kitchen and they fixed the issue in literally 5 minutes. I didn't pay because I'm renting, but they were on time, friendly, and effective.

Jessie D.

6/30/2015

Found John/RJ Plumbing on yelp! Got an appointment with him within 48 hours and he did a great job installing some new bathroom faucets and fixing one of our annoying running toilets. He was super polite, professional, and extremely reasonable on price. I will definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone needing plumbing services.

Mark H.

05/10/2022 12:00:00 SA

Had to reroute a gas line and he came in with a fair price and completed in timely manner. Will use again for plumbing issues.

Highly recommend R.J. Plumbing. We have a tankless water heater that occasionally needs repair. John is great. I texted him pics of the tank - and he came with all the repair supplies for that specific unit. He also checks on warranties to make sure we aren't paying for something that is covered by the manufacturer. He's responsive, friendly, highly skilled and cares about your budget. You can't go wrong with RJ Plumbing.

Sara L.

john is great- punctual, professional, knowledgable, will be our plumber for a long time to come

Rich S.

6/15/2018

John was great in doing an affordable installation of a tankless water heater for us - job was on-time (he made time), the installation is super clean, and he was extremely timely.

I've since called him for other plumbing needs and he is always responsive and has been able to work with my schedule.

John is extremely responsive via yelp messenger as well as phone. he is definitely my go-to guy for any plumbing needs.

Steph H.

10/21/2013

We have used RJ plumbing for over 10 years. Services were needed at our personal residence and on investment properties. We are local Realtors and include RJ Plumbing on our important contacts sheet. Everyone that has had the need for a plumber has been thrilled with their competitive pricing and friendly service. When in need of a plumber this is the company to call!

HP W.

Did some work on my backyard shower. Very happy with results. Punctual, easy to work with, reasonable price. I can recommend.

P D.

10/17/2013

I was very pleased to receive the phone call with an apology and respected the fact that no excuses were made. He admitted that he dropped the ball on this (his words). Most would come up with all kinds of excuses. I had 5 different plumbers come to give me an estimate on this job and only one followed through and all of them were highly reviewed here. I don't know any more what service to trust. Home Advisor's referrals were AWFUL and the guy I hired from Red Beacon (Home Depot's referral service) was BEYOND HORRIBLE!! What does someone have to do to get quality people who follow through with what they say?

Geoff H.

11/18/2011

First, let me say that these reviews are totally legit. The owner John, is neat, dependable and honest. He not only showed up on time, but stayed after the call was completed to give some additional advice on other plumbing situations we had at the house. In short, this man deserves your business. He's the kind of guy that can easily become your go-to, first/only call plumber. With service this good, AND com petitive rates, why call anyone else?

E W.

4/17/2016

Came home to a puddle on the dining table from the upstairs bathroom. Called RJ about 5 till 5 and he was here in 5 mins! Didn't actually fix the leak--had to remove tile to get at it--but slapped an extra seal on a dodgy toilet so it won't be a problem in the future. Great service.

Kevin K.

10/13/2017

My water heater started leaking and I'm so happy that I called John at RJ Plumbing. He gave me a great price came out and took care of it. So easy, really nice guy, and I will definitely call him again!........ hopefully not too soon though. :o)

Martin W.

6/14/2019

John was a super nice guy and I couldn't have wish for better plumber to work with. Came all the way out to Rancho Palos Verdes to run a snake 10 feet down a drain and cleared up the problem. The price he charged was more than reasonable and I won't hesitate in using him in future fore my plumbing needs!

Chris J.

3/27/2021

Owner is nice and even refunded us for the original diagnosis cost ($98); however, it was a mis-diagnosis that resulted in thousand more of costs (incurred by us). If the dishwasher problem was diagnosed correctly the first time, we would have saved ourselves substantial time and money.

Joan S.

08/03/2019 12:00:00 SA

Thanks to Yelp, I've found an awesome new plumber.

Backstory:
For several years I've been using a plumbing service that drove a distance to get to my area. I liked that they were avail 24/7 (and I did have emergencies) but the older, experienced guys I've worked with are no longer there. So I went to Yelp searching for a local plumber, hopefully a small family-owned company.
R.J. had 5-star reviews up the wazoo.

John works alone & I like that. You can't call him at 2am on a weekend so know where your main water shut-off is, just in case.

My immediate problem was declining water pressure/volume as I tried to water landscaping the past couple weeks. I disabled all the sprinklers a few years back during the drought & discovered it's more efficient to water by hand, although very time-consuming.
So there I was recently, with water exiting hoses like a limp noodle as I stood in the blazing sun ready to tear my hair out by its bleached blond roots.

A pressure regulator is a good idea (so your pipes don't blow up) & I always have one installed wherever I live. I suspected mine might need adjustment & I was right. John increased the pressure.

Meanwhile, I learned about water volume - different from pressure. To increase the volume I need to get the water dept. out to change the meter - my next task.

John had some great ideas to make my watering experience easier, like adding a hose bib, etc. & I will consider his suggestions.

But for now I'm back in business with the hoses & the interior faucets are functioning more like normal.
And John is wonderful. I learned so much. And he was kind to my cat who was in his face as we checked out an ancient toilet in the bathroom.

As long as I'm on the subject of water:
I have a big two-tiered concrete fountain in my back yard that doesn't work & leaks but is too heavy to move so the previous owner left it here & I fill it daily to use as a bird bath.
The birds not only drink from it but they congregate on it. I see at least 3 different varieties of birds, chattering away, hanging out by the pool. Like I should bring them a pitcher of margaritas & some sunscreen.
Cat lazily watches the action from inside the house.
Everybody's happy.

H2O, yo, let it flow.

Our 75 gallon water heater began to leak a couple weeks ago so I started calling around to get estimates for a replacement. I got about 5 estimates and a couple were similarly priced including RJ's and the others were way over priced (30-40% over). I went with John at RJ because he was responsive, knowledgeable and came across honest. He came on time and completed the job quickly and neatly. He helped me subsequently troubleshoot a small problem with the hot water faucet and was super responsive. John at RJ is definitely at the top of my list for plumbers to call when I have any issues.

Scott M.

9/20/2016

John is as professional as one could hope any person could be. Over the years I have used a significant number of plumbers, and John ranks at the top, if not #1. I could not recommend him more highly - he communicates well and he does what he promises. If only every contractor and subcontractor were as good as John...

Phil N.

01/06/2021 12:00:00 SA

RJ Plumbing is fantastic! John is very professional, courteous, and does an outstanding job. We had him install 4 new faucets for us and he was great to work with. John is very skilled and knowledgeable, shows up on time, and has fair prices. We would highly recommend him.

Aaron W.

3/25/2019

Needing to replace our leaking tank water heater I went to Yelp to find a local plumber and that's where I discovered 5-star rated RJ Plumbing. John Allen (owner & tech.) was extremely responsive via Yelp contact and informative as to some water heater options.

John's quote was competitive with one I had received earlier from Home Depot, but whereas scheduling a HD install would have left us without hot water for an additional 3-days John made the time to do our job the very next day. He showed up when he said he would and (echoing what others have indicated) the install was done properly and professionally.

I believe John to be an honest and reliable plumber. I would recommend him without reservation.

A few different people had done work on the kitchen sink in the house we're renting, and every time one problem was fixed, another one popped up. I decided to find someone on my own and found R.J. Plumbing, full of 5-star reviews on Yelp. I called on Tuesday and the receptionist said she didn't have anything available until Thursday, but she could recommend someone else if I needed service right away. I said I could wait until Thursday, and she gave me an appointment between 2 and 4. John showed up right at 2, diagnosed and fixed all the problems, and was out by 2:30. He explained everything he did and showed me that everything was working properly. The bill was far less than I expected, having had some plumbing work done in the past, and I was extremely pleased.

I am very much looking forward to finally being able to wash my dishes without having to clean up a puddle of water afterward!

I had a small plumbing job that needed to be done. His office called me back right away with a time for the work to be done.

Not only did John show up on time, but he did all the work I needed very quickly and efficiently. He also showed me where the main water shut off was located on my new house and talked to me about additional work that needed to be done - not right away but he told me what to look for so I don't run into any problems. I was very happy with his estimates on the proposed work and the work completed. I will absolutely call them again with any new work I need.
