Super good plumber and very professional. Adhered to covid protocols! Was able to come at last minute to fix sink on a Sunday morning at 8 AM! Would highly recommend to anyone in the San Diego area. Bilingual and affordable. I like his flat per job fees. Not this nickel and dime game from other plumbers.
Raul took great care of me. He installed a sink faucet that I ordered off the internet. It was a complicated install but took less than two hours and got it working great with no leaks or drips. I'll call him again next time I need similar help. Thanks Raul!
I chose to have Raul from R&J come in to do the work. I have a few requirements for contractors that I insist on. 1) they must be responsive and 2) they must be reliable about showing up within the scheduled time frame. And 3) of course, they must be competent. Raul excelled at all three. He took care to clean up after the work was done and asked me if I wanted to keep the old parts (a few I did).
I would definitely recommend him and will contact him again if I need further plumbing services.

Ridiculous pricing based on whatever they can get away with without any estimate. They say that you are paying solely for their experience without giving any estimate. Skill paid for is questionable due to the fact the repair was not completed, even after 2 days to stop a leaky reverse osmosis system.
My tenants broke the shower valve and fortunately I found Raul. He responded to my yelp request immediately and came out to check the issue. Told me what needs to be done and gave me what I felt like an honest estimate. On the day of the work, he showed up on time. I thought it would take several hours to complete the work but he finished replacing the valve within 2 hours, which was impressive. We had to shut off the water to the entire building so his ability to work fast was a plus since everyone is working from home during the pandemic. I would definitely recommend him and will save his numbers for the future.
Raul is a professional and an expert in anything to do with plumbing. We received very efficient service yesterday with our double sink clog in the kitchen. Raul knew exactly what was happening to the pipes, unclogged both sides of traps, and provided a clear explanation on what was going on. We will call Raul anytime we need help with our plumbing needs.

If you are looking for a Capable knowledgeable honest plumber with clear communication at a great price Raul is your man. When Heavy traffic caused him to run a little bit late he texted to let us know! He came for one plumbing issue and fixed our other concerns too! Highly recommend him.
My experience with Raul was great. There was a leak from behind a bathroom wall. Raul was able to come pretty quickly. He wasn't able to find the leak source, but set up a leak detection company to help out. Once it was found, he quickly came and fixed it. Raul was very professional, friendly and easy to work with. He had given me an initial quote and he stuck to it though the job may have been a bit more work than initially expected.
Very happy we went with R&J Plumbing. Raul was quick to respond with a very fair quote for unclogging a sink. Raul was on time, quick, and professional.
Raul was responsive, professional and timely. He saved the day and replaced our water heater in just a few hrs. Responded to my request before 8 am and followed through. Fairly priced and very friendly. I would highly recommend.

Raul was super fast to respond to my Sunday plumbing emergency and scheduled a service technician to our rental property within minutes. This guy is no nonsense. His prices were reasonable for a Sunday emergency call so I would definitely hire him again. Thanks for the prompt help Raul.
Raul has the best quote and service in San Diego! After we called him, he came to my place within 40 mins and fix our garbage disposal. Very polite and kind.
Our kitchen sinks were backing up and so I put out a blast to plumbers on Yelp. I Raul was the first to respond and he was consistently responsive throughout our engagement. He came out the next day and cleared the clog. He also scoped the line and determined it needed to be hydrojetted. He came back a couple of days later to perform that service. Overall, I was very happy with Raul including his level of service, pricing, and professionalism. I'm definitely call him back the next time something goes wrong. Thanks man!
Raul at R & J Plumbing has helped me out several times this year with plumbing issues! He installed a new toilet and fixed another issue at my work and today had his colleague Jerry come to my house to fix a drain/sewer problem. They are super responsive, get the job done the first time, charge a reasonable price, and have come out same day or next day each time I've called. Thank you both Raul and Jerry- will continue to call you as my go to moving forward!
Raul went above and beyond when he ran into some drywall issues while adding a water line for my refrigerator. He is sincere, great communicator and reliable
AMAZING customer service. I needed a sewer line scoped for a home inspection. Raul got back to me immediately and set me up with his man Albert. Both Raul and Albert were so communicative, so helpful, and just all around super easy to work with. Albert gave me updates all throughout the process, and uploaded photos and vids for me right after the site visit. I can't express how much I appreciate the service I got from him, and Raul. I'll be a customer for life.
I needed help fast with renovating kitchen and bathrooms and R&J Plumbing was responsive and affordable. The service was above and beyond! I sent lists of what needed to get done and everything was addressed and affordable. The plumbing work was excellent! Very neat and tidy. If there was anything I didn't have on hand, he was prepared for it and went above and beyond to get it. He even picked up something I needed at Home Depot. Excellent service and I can't recommend them highly enough! Thank you for the beautiful work! :)

I used R&J Plumbing for replacement of a kitchen faucet. They had to make a change in our original appointment time but let me know well in advance, and kept my up to date on arrival time. Installation went well and it was obvious they had experience with this service. Price was a bit higher than some of the other bids I received, but it included valve replacement if needed (which we did not need).
Raul is awesome and helped with toilet shut-off / supply pipe replacement in very quick time. I contacted him on Yelp with a quote and he immediately responded. Then within minutes he was on call with me getting the exact details of the issue and was at my place within 20 minutes. He had his gloves and mask and inspected the damage because the pipe had originally burst and flooded the place. He was thoroughly professional and gave his honest opinion as well as repair options for the issue and went ahead with the replacement without wasting a minute.
After getting it done he went out of his way and provided helpful advice on getting a water damage assessment. He even arranged for the same and helped me save the assessment fee.
The price was also reasonable considering how quickly he was able to get it fixed.
He even called me the next day checking on the water damage assessment.
On the whole. Raul helped me manage a difficult situation with great ease and peace of mind.
I highly recommend him for any plumbing issue big or small that need immediate attention.
Raul was responsive, showed up when he said he would and did great work. it's so hard to find reliable professionals who aim to take care of the customer nowadays and will definitely call on Raul for any future plumbing work. Thanks!

My outdoor hose faucet was broken last night. I called a few people to ask if they can come to fix it and how much they will charge. Most people agreed to come but not give me a definitive number, even though the task was pretty clear. Raul said he will be able to come and gave me a reasonable quote. I agreed. He called me this morning, said he could come today. He arrived 30 minutes later, replaced the faucet with no issues at all. I am pretty happy about his work and will call him when next time I need plumber. I would recommend him with no hesitation.

Update: we had ANOTHER issue unexpectedly arise and this man came to the rescue yet again! I called him that evening, and the next day, our hot water was back up again. If you're looking for dependable, reliable, superb service, these are your guys. Raul couldn't make it, but he found a solution and had someone to our home in no time. If there's anything you need when shopping around for a plumber, it's the trust that these guys have your back. They never left us hanging, not the first time, not the second time, and hopefully ever! Raul is our plumber for life!

Raul was great. He was very responsive. And I really liked that he took the time on the phone to help me figure out where our garbage disposal was leaking from ( which would make a difference as to replacement or repair) before we even hired him. His pricing was fair, his communication was excellent, he was on time, and he seems to have done a great job. Definitely a five-star plumbing experience.
We had a leaking shower head and could not fix it in on our own. We contacted Raul to help us fix this. He was on time, which I value! He had great communication and gave us options when it came to fixing our issue.

Raul the plumber came out to my house when I was in desperate need of a plumber . He went above and beyond !! & im blessed to have found him on yelp. Work was clean and price was affordable.I will be using his services again and will recommend him .
I had Raul fix a broken cartridge in our shower. He was responsive, quick, and professional. I highly recommend him for plumbing services.
I messaged R&J plumbing on Yelp to see if they could help me with an emergency plumbing situation that I had. My shower valve cartridge was stuck and I couldn't turn my home's water back on until it was fixed. R&J was able to provide me with a quick quote online and was able to come out to my home at very short notice.
The plumber Raul arrived and had my shower cartridge out within the first 5 minutes. He also provided me with helpful tips on how to fix this in the future which was much appreciated.
If you need quick, reliable plumbing service in South Bay San Diego, do not hesitate to call them. They'll have you fixed up in no time.

Raul responded quickly and was very communicative through the entire process. We had a leak in the water main line into the house and Raul did a great quality job on the repair and covered up the hole pretty good for what he had to work with... a little more than what I was expecting but when you need a quick repair it is what it is.... I would use R&J again for such an emergency....
Our kitchen faucet pull-out hose snapped Friday night so we were forced to replace the faucet. I sent out a Yelp estimate message & heard back from almost all 7. Now who to choose? First person I called said to get an estimate the plumber had to come take a look first & I was talking to a scheduling person. I was not feeling good with that proposal. I called Raul next. He answered. He is the owner & plumber. He was able to advise on what faucet to purchase & told me he could meet me once I had it to install it. I was very impressed with his speedy response & availability to install last minute on a Saturday at a reasonable rate. We will definitely be using Raul in the future for our plumbing needs. Don't hesitate to contact him.

Raul came out on very short notice and was able to clear buildup and black sludge accumulated over time out of the lines from the kitchen drain. His service was quick and very professional. I would definitely call him again!

Excellent service. Most affordable through out sd
Thank you for the fast response for my last minute response
Raul responded quickly to my request. He arrived when he said he would. His work was thorough and professional. His price was very fair. I feel confident that I have found my go-to plumber. Thanks Raul!
As a first time home owner, I needed to install a water line to my new fridge. I also wanted to replace my bathroom faucet and drain with a set I had purchased online. I tried to do it myself but I ultimately broke the shutoff valve under my sink and needed to call a plumber to replace those and do everything else.
I contacted a few companies through yelp and Raul was very quick to respond. Raul came out the same day and looked over my needs and told me that my apartment's old fridge copper line wouldn't work (he was the second plumber to tell me that). He gave me a quote and told me to text him if I wanted to schedule him to come out. He also gave me the info I needed regarding letting my HOA know about shutting off the water to the complex.
I had him come out today and he shut off the water for my apartment complex for all of 30 mins to replace 3 valves and then proceded to run my fridge water line and use a cordless saw to cut out my 1983 original sink drain.
I appreciate how responsive he was to me over text and phone answering my newbie homeowner questions throughout the process. I'm very happy with his work and I won't hesitate to call him for my next plumbing needs.

I was very happy with orangey construction Raul showed up within two hours of my call went right to work dug into the wall and in three places as a matter fact and found the leak and repaired it cleaned up the mess the whole job was done probably in less than an hour so I am very pleased to recommend orange construction

Our water heater installed in 1998 26 years ago started leaking and Raul gave me a great estimate and said he could start it at noon the next day if I'd pay for and arrange to ship the old one today. This was no easy task since it was mounted up 6 feet high off the slab and getting them swapped was a major effort. The drain valve was blocked so we couldn't drain it till that was fixed with a coat hangar wire, and the cold input valve was frozen open then later it leaked a lot till and needed a gasket reseat.
It was very hot that day too

Perfect! Words won't be able to describe the INCREDIBLE service and professionalism from Raul! He knows his trade for sure. We needed help right away and he was at our home within 2 hours (and didn't charge extra for the rush in service.) He explained everything that needed to be done and did it efficiently. We will definitely hire Raul for any future plumbing needs! He's pretty funny too. Really seems to love what he does, as it shows in his work.
We decided to hire Raul because just the day before we were trying to fix the pipes ourselves and something kept going wrong. Raul took the time to walk us through it by phone (not even expecting anything in return.) Raul is a true blessing from God!
Thanks Raul! :)

Our hot water heater broke suddenly. I called R & J around 12 noon and had a new water heater installed by 4PM. Their prices were reasonable and they were very quick to respond and efficient.
Raul was super fast at coming to my place and at repairing my garbage disposal. He is a very honest man, explained everything he did with detail. Great pricing!
Good and fast communication.
Speaks Spanish and English
Toilet was not working right, contacted many businesses and Raul came out and saved the day! Showed up within 1hr of contacting and problem solved within 30min. Great service and price.
I called about my newly installed dishwasher wasn't draining properly. Called them up. The guy came over in 30 min and was very efficient and quick. Did the job in less than 15 min. Charged me less than what the others wanted. Even accepts Venmo if you don't have cash. Couldn't be happier and grateful for their service. Will definitely save their number.

I had sent out requests for quotes to several plumbing services regarding a sink/dishwasher problem that our Home Depot dishwasher installers refused to trouble shoot. Not only were we left with an uninstalled dishwasher, but we were told that there needed to be some pipe reconfiguration/repair. R&J Plumbing, specifically Raul, was quick to reply with a personal message rather than some auto-generated reply like the other responses. He asked me specific questions, I shared photos of the piping, and he was able to give me a specific quote unlike the rest of the other options. I get it, sometimes it is better to have an in person evaluation and estimate, but sometimes you just want a ballpark estimate upfront.
Day of, he came on time as scheduled. Very kind and eager to explain everything, allowing me to understand what the problem was and how he was going to repair it. He then installed the dishwasher and the whole project done in a quick and efficient manner. I was pleased with his customer service and professionalism. R&J Plumbing now has a customer for life. Thanks for the help!

Raul is very hard working, honest, and got the job done. He is an expert on plumbing and skilled at what he does. I will go nowhere else for my plumbing needs. You pay for what you get and I will happily pay. He fixed a major clog affecting two bathrooms . I know because another guy failed to fix it but he did.
This guy has no idea what he is doing. do not hire him. He messed up my bathroom which was an easy fix. I paid him $500 and then had to pay a real plumber to fix his mess.

We had a leak in the crawlspace under our house mid day on a Friday. Raul was able to clear some time to help us but, in the meantime, my husband had gotten someone else. We are very appreciative of R& J Plumbing's response and will use them another time.
Needed to replace 2 faucets in the kitchen and called Raul. Glad I did as
he came over and did the work within 1 hour of the call. Great job with the installs and very clean work. Will definitely use Raul when ever I need a plumber.
Raul was fast, efficient and honest. We had a kitchen faucet that was leaking and needed to be replaced. He did an excellent job and I will be using his services again.
Raul did a great job on our kitchen line clog. Two plumbers before him couldn't get the job done. I plan to hire him in the future for other jobs.
I'd give zero stars if possible. I had requested a quote for a fireplace gas leak. I was quoted $1000.00 flat fee rate without the company having knowledge of the specifics of the problem. Or without someone actually coming out to our home to investigate the source of the gas leak. Multiple other companies were quoting significantly lower prices. I was advised by Raul the owner of this company via Yelp they aren't cheap but they are good and good luck! From a customer perspective it really seems like this company is price gauging and taking advantage of customers they know are in a vulnerable position. Shame on you.
Thanks for the well wishes though. SDGE came out and fixed our very minor problem for FREE that you tried to overcharge $1000.00 for!
GOOD LUCK to you and your company with your unethical business practice. We will never contact, nor do business with this company again. Recommend avoiding this company unless you want to be overcharged.
Great work and communication. Installed garbage disposal and cleared sink drain. Raul was also compassionate during a difficult time for our family and worked very efficiently.
I had sent out a quote request to 10 different plumbers on Yelp. I've described in detailed what I needed done have have all the parts. Most responded asking to schedule an on-site visit and did not provide a quote. Only Raul from R&J provided a quote. I had a quick chat with him on the phone to make sure we were on the same page. He showed up 30 minutes later and was done 30 minutes after. I couldn't ask for anything more in terms of responsiveness and speed.
I would recommend Raul as he's honest and reasonably priced.

Raul was very communicative, professional and prompt. Great service, very transparent, and coordinated really well with other professionals on the work that needed to be done.
Can't thank you enough for the prompt service and the fair pricing. We will be calling you again soon!!!
Requested a quote from multiple Plumbing Companies on Yelp for toilet clog. Received a very quick response from Raul at R and J Construction Maintenance. The price seemed reasonable so I scheduled the job. Raul was very straight forward and easy to work with. He was prompt and got the job done quickly. Tenant was very happy with the service as I was and I will be using his service again. Easy communication, quick response, competent repair, awesome customer service, reasonable price. Thanks Raul!
Raul showed up early morning in response to an emergency service request that involved a leak in the house. He promptly diagnosed the situation, spent time explaining to me the cause, and capably resolved the problem. Highly recommend Raul for any plumbing problem. Punctual, professional and reasonable cost.

Raul was very prompt in responding to my request for a plumber on Yelp. He arrived within 30 minutes and fixed our clogged dual kitchen sink, which we had been unsuccessful in draining ourselves for several days. Thank you for your promptness, professionalism, and helping us out with our plumbing emergency Raul!
Reliable, on time to start the job , fast in answering any questions you have via text or call and willing to give discounts especially military families. I'll keep this plumbing company for my future plumbing services.

Raul was amazing. He came over to fix a busted garbage disposal for us. We are remodeling our kitchen and our contractor messed up installing our garbage disposal and then was taking forever to get back to us on fixing it. Raul stepped in and did a great job. He was even very understanding when I cancelled early in the morning because I got sick the night before. I then reached back again when my fiance was able to be home for the appointment.
Raul arrived a few minutes early, make quick work of the job, and fixed our garbage disposal and it's working perfectly. I would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you, Raul!
Jake & Patrick
We had a small leak in a water pipe after removing old valve from it and soldering it ourselves, but we knew it had to be finished professionally thats why we reached out to R&J. we had house inspection couple of days later and inspector said it was a really good job. Thanks to R&J for getting it done fast and not expensive at all.
I highly recommend R & J Plumbing. They did a great job replacing my three toilets and snaking one that was clogged. Raul was prompt and even called to see if he can come early (I appreciate that with my busy schedule) he showed up and got straight to work finding the problem and letting me know what was needed and what wasn't. He is very respectful and honest. I will use again and recommend him.
Came to address leak problem at my house. Could not figure out what the problem is so added caulking and left. When leak was still there I called him for a re-evaluation of the issue. Claims to be out of town for weeks. Raul does not stand by warranty of his work and will lie. If you don't know what the issue is just admit it so clients can move on to a more qualified plumber. Providing shoddy work and taking money, and then dragging out time only exacerbate the problem and magnify water damage. Check licenses before contracting work.

We contacted Raul through Yelp and he provided an approximate quote. We had asked him to come out to check out our pipe crack/leak and to see if he can really repair it. He came out checked it out removed some extra concrete around the pipe as we had already had the dry wall removed and pipe exposed. We hadn't used the pipe or had water flow through it for quite some time. So he did come across an issues-had to clear the drain. Anywhoo he cut the cracked pipe and installed a new one, checked to make sure it wasn't leaking. We noticed a small line/crack on the side of the pipe lower from where he had replaced the pipe. We had asked if it is a concern or should be changed out- he said it was not a problem right now... after he had left and we paid him $50 more than his quote- we went on with our day working around the house. When we were ready to shower and clean up we noticed the shower start to back up and the pipe he had just fixed have a leak from where we had concerns about the crack area. We had texted Raul as he had asked if anything came up and he has yet to respond or even acknowledge the message sent. Very rude to leave paying customers with a leak still even after paying him.
* also just to note* his personal convo with my other half wasn't really appropriate either.
Thanks Raul you saved me so much money. I had another plumbing company quote me a $750 job and you came and did it with more than 1/2 the savings. You were fast and responded right away. Awesome work.

Raul was very responsive to my initial request and had great communication so that he was as prepared as possible for our first meeting. While he was in our home, I felt very comfortable and that he was very knowledgeable. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand. Highly recommend. Great follow up as well.

Highly recommend Raul's services. Up front pricing, responsive, reliable, and efficient. He replaced three angle stops and installed a new kitchen faucet in less than two hours. Great honest guy and does professional work.
This company is fraudulent and using someone else's contractor license number. i made the mistake of using them anyway
We asked him estimate for the project and he came to the site start looking around without discussing anything and asked for $185 for estimate price. When we said we didn't talk about price of anything yet then He started sending us blackmailing messages.
Watch out for what you are dealing with!
We had Raul out again recently, super fortunate to have found him, always willing to help, very friendly and great at his work!

Raul is a great communicator and was able to fix a bathtub issue that the first plumber I hired could not. He will be my primary contact for all future plumbing needs. Thank you!
Raul installed a laundry sink in our garage. We had chosen a location that backed on to a downstairs bathroom. We texted photos showing the laundry sink we had purchased and assembled and we described the location and what we wanted.
When Raul took on the task, all we knew was that there were supply lines and a drain somewhere in the wall. He showed up on time, worked continuously and methodically, located the lines and drain and provided the necessary hookups. By lunch time we had a new garage sink installed and working. He cleaned up afterwards and the price was competitive.
I would use him again.
Raul is the best!
I accidentally dropped a roll of floss down my drain and within the hour he mcguivered the entire roll with a wire!!
Cleaned up and headed out so quickly. Efficient and phenomenal service.
10/10 recommend!
Raul save the day. I was able to schedule an appointment in a little over 24 hours to replace the Fossett that I had messed up. Very professional and on time. Reasonably priced with fast and reliable service. Thank you again.
Raul was excellent in his communication! Although he wasn't able to help me, he pointed me in the right direction with his colleague Marco. None the less, excellent service! You won't regret it!

Our water heater broke and I needed to replace it with a new water heater. I contacted 4-5 plumbing companies and Raul from R&J was the first one to come in person and gave me a very reasonable quote right away. I got 2 additional quotes in parallel the same day and I decided to go with Raul based on his responsiveness, knowledge and cost. No wonder R&J has only 5 star reviews. Raul contacted plumbing supply companies for me and gave me 2 options for new water heater and subsequently he ordered everything that was necessary and completed the job in time. I highly recommend Raul (R&J) for all plumbing work. Thanks Raul.

Highly recommend this company. Raul was awesome. Extremely responsive, never felt like they were trying to take advantage of us, and did a great job. Pricing was very reasonable compared to other quotes we received. Definitely going back for any other plumbing work.
Very knowledgeable and kind. Was able to help me diagnose a plumbing issue over the phone, troubleshooting before an in-person visit was needed. Most plumbers would have required a consult. Will for sure be using R&J for our future plumbing projects!

Last month, my in-laws received a water bill triple their normal monthly usage and their landscaper was able to find the leaking pipe in the front yard. I requested quotes from several plumbers and Raul was the fastest to respond with an estimated price range from my description of the situation.
Raul met my MIL at the property within an hour and was able to get the leak fixed. He was friendly, efficient, and completed the work at a reasonable price. We'd definitely recommend him for his professionalism and effectiveness. We'll be saving his information for any of our future plumbing needs.
I sent a quote request for an issue with my kitchen sink to multiple plumbers, and Raul responded very quickly with a quote range. After chatting with other plumbers, most of them wouldn't give me a quote but instead wanted to set up a consultation. Raul was even willing to look at a picture of my problem and give me a firm quote that was reasonable.
Not only was he responsive and reasonable, he was prompt! He came out to my house the very next day and did the work within an hour, and he filled me in on what he was doing along the way.
I'll definitely be calling him back if I have any other plumbing issues in the future. Thanks Raul!
Raul was very friendly and was able to come out to fix a leak much sooner than any of my other quotes on Yelp, on top of that he gave me a really great price!
He was on time (even a little early) and he got the leak taken care of very quickly. Overall I would recommend Raul and I will call him the next time something goes wrong with the plumbing.
Asked Raul for an estimate for a water heater replacement and he was very communicative and prompt in scheduling and replacing my heater. Reasonably priced and friendly, would highly recommend

First plumber to call me back when I had a shower leak emergency. The part I needed was not easy to locate, but I appreciate the effort. Owner was responsive and friendly.
I got super lucky that out of all the plumbing companies that I got in touch with, Raul from R&J Construction Maintenance was our pick. He was the first to get back to me and gave us the best quote. Raul responded within minutes and was able to make a professional assessment over the phone through some pictures I had sent him. Scheduling an appointment was super easy and convenient too.
Raul came over to do the job with proper PPE and ready to work. He has an amazing attitude and is truly a subject matter expert when it comes to servicing. I was truly impressed that he was the only one who made us feel like a priority compared to other big name companies that promise you the same but don't deliver.
Please, if you're reading this, DO NOT go with any other companies! If you are looking for your job to not just get done but get done right, then you need to call this man! It's a guarantee that you're service will get done the way you want and at the best price. I will never do business with any other company, Raul is our guy for all future needs. Don't lose time or money elsewhere, go with Raul and you'll understand why from the moment you call!

According to my tenant at the shop where he did the repair for the water heater...He was very knowledgeable. And accurate about his service. He completed his service in a timely manor... I would recommend him to others.
I called R&J this morning because our sink wasn't draining. Raul explained to me what it could be and gave me a base quote but explained it could change. He kept in touch with me throughout the day letting me know when he would arrive. When he worked on the sink, he also explained what he was doing and how I could prevent the issue further. Highly recommend!
Had a great experience with Raul. We needed a tub spout/diverter fixed on an investment property and we're out of town and he was able to resolve the issue quickly and easily. Would definitely recommend.
I had a water leak in my garage and Raul responded quickly. He diagnosed on the phone via texting, photo's and a call so was ready-to-go when he arrived early the next morning to make the repair. I seldom write reviews, but Raul was exceptional. In general, I found a lack of response from other plumbing companies and when I was able to connect with a person, I couldn't get scheduled for days. Raul was timely, professional, knowledgeable and very nice and I am so happy to have a plumber that I can rely on and refer to my friends.
My water heater stopped working and r & j responded next morning and got it going again. Technician was very professional and even called me the next day to confirm it was still working.

Raul,
After learning that I was a 100% Disabled Vietnam Veteran agreed to coming out next week and even lowered his price to accommodate my small budget.
R&J Plumbing did a really excellent job with our plumbing repairs. They communicated well with our appointment details and showed up on-time and prepared. We had them replace a garbage disposal unit and replace parts in two leaky toilets. They did an excellent job and finished each one quickly with no leaks or issues and each unit continues to function perfectly. We're very happy with their work and have saved their contact info and will be using them again (and referring friends and family).

Raul is great! He replaced a rusted water valve under our kitchen sink. It required a little more work cutting out some drywall to properly access and repair the pipe but he was happy to do it. The price was very reasonable and he was very efficient and professional. I would definitely hire him again for plumbing needs!
Thought I could replace my wall mount kitchen faucet. Found out pretty quickly I need a professional. Requested bids on Yelp on a Sunday afternoon and had responses that evening. Raul included his phone number and I texted right away. He was willing to work around my work schedule and come later in the afternoon and had availability within a few days. He quoted me a very fair price. He arrived today, right on time, and got right to work. He was pleasant, efficient, tidy, and precise. He tested everything on the faucet before he left and even checked the water pressure at both of the pressure regulators. I've added his information into my contacts and will definitely use him again when needed. Highly recommend!

Raul did an amazing job unclogging our bathtub drain. He was on time, communicative and explained every step! Would highly recommend.
Raul was excellent. He was early to fix a leaky sink and was able to complete the work in less than an hour without any issues
I am extremely pleased with the service from R&J! Super quick response, great communication, and reasonable pricing. Raul came in and got to work identifying the problem right away. He was friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend him. I'm keeping his number on file for future needs.
Raul was very friendly and quick to respond. My water heater's control valve went out and he was able to help me replace it, when all other plumbers (I spoke to may) suggested I change out the whole unit instead. I spent a fraction of the cost to repair it, rather than replacing it. I appreciated that he was honest about the problem and helped me fix it, rather than trying to sell me a whole new unit. I would definitely recommend him for his professionalism, promptness, and honesty. I will be using him for all future plumbing needs.
Raul showed up was very professional and solve my drain problem in about 30 minutes can't recommend anyone better!

If I could give Raul 10 stars I would We! We were scheduled to have a washer and dryer installed and we had a situation where we needed a plumber to assess the situation before disconnecting our old unit. He not only responded immediately to our emergency call, but took the time to explain why a plumber was needed. After managing to fit us in as soon as possible ( on a weekend) he was able to fix the emergency situation and help with the installation same day so that we could have a functioning washer and dryer.
Raul was extremely reliable and truly handled this last minute situation with professionalism and speedy customer service. We will definitely be reaching out to Raul if we need anything else in the future!
Quick response and fast to clear the clogging In my main! Thank you for taking care of my drainage problem so quickly and finding the issue was roots growing in the main.

We are installing a new washer and dryer. As I unhooked the old washer water supply lines the shut-off valve handle broke! So I bought two new valves.
However, our track home was built cheaply with compression fitting valves.
It was impossible for me to take off the compression washers from the pipes without a special tool.
So, there we are - we have the water shut off and no valves working.
I went to Yelp and the only plumber who responded right away was Raul. Raul got to us within an hour and had the problem fixed in another 40 minutes.
We are now set for the new laundry tomorrow.
Thanks Raul.
R & J Plumbing did a great job! We had a single bowl vanity that we were upgrading to a double vanity on the wall adjacent. We had to close off the water lines that went to the bathroom on the other side and move the drain to another vent pipe. They had to reroute the water lines through the studs too.
Doesn't seem like an easy job and we were expecting it to cost us a lot more. Thankfully Raul quoted us INCREDIBLY competitive pricing that we couldn't decline. He was able to schedule the work to be done within less than a week and was a fraction of the price. Raul was very well at communicating with us, very timely, and will absolutely rehire him and his team for our next projects.
We had Raul over to help troubleshoot a leaking kitchen sink. He was very responsive by text and showed up on time. After he had left, I realized the actual faucet was leaking and he came back the same day to install a new one! I would absolutely hire him again!

My shower wasn't draining so we called Raul. We got a response right away and he was able to come out the same day we called. Raul was very knowledgeable and professional, he tested every drain in the house to make sure they were functioning properly before he left. Very happy with our service.
Raul was so great to work with. He was quick to respond and did the work we needed for about a third of the price that the guys who advertise on the radio quoted us. He is honest and does good work. We will definitely go with him again for plumbing needs and recommend him to friends and family.

Raul was exceptional! He quoted 1/3 the cost of our first plumber (through the Yelp estimate feature) and when he showed up, he realized the fix was even easier and lowered the cost! He dealt with running around my new condo complex looking for an entry to the boiler and very bad HOA instructions, all with a great attitude. He was knowledgeable and professional. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!
Raul was great, he was able to come over and fix an active leak in the wall of my kitchen. All around great plumber and I will for sure reach out out to him specifically whenever I have another issue!
We were moving out of our office building and the water hook up to the fridge kept dripping. I contacted several plumbers to get someone fast. Raul responded almost immediately to my 9pm request. He met me there at noon that morning and fixed the issue. He was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. The line was capped in about 15 mins. I appreciated someone coming out so quickly and not being overcharged. Thanks Raul!

We requested an emergency response for our leaking kitchen sink drain. We had no idea why it was leaking and how much it was going to cost. Raul was the first person to call and is the best plumber I could ask for. He was very professional and understanding he treated us like family! He resolved our issues quickly and explained everything throughly. Highly recommend his services he's our plumber.

I had a special ask of Raul.
I had a tiled in under mount sink that I wanted replaced with a drop-in/over mount stainless steel sink. Most plumbers don't want the project and charge ridiculously for the work or only willing to come and drop in a new sink.
I understood the risks - broken tiles but I didn't want to keep paying to have the sink refinished. There was one cracked tiled in the back but Raul came back and sealed it nicely. You hardly notice the crack now. The sink and new faucet looks great.
Would totally rehire Raul.
Raul was awesome. I reached out to many different plumbers for installation of a faucet, disposal, and dishwasher. Not only was he the first to respond, but he was professional and offered a very competitive estimate. Others wouldn't give a bid without an on-site visit, which IMO wasn't necessary for the project.
He adjusted his schedule to fit mine and even came earlier than we originally scheduled, which was a huge plus for me.
He began work immediately and had to make non standard adjustments due to small complications on my end. He was efficient and also had additional material in his truck because I was missing a few pieces that I should have had. I am so thankful for that. I will definitely be calling him for future projects and/or emergencies, and he'll be the first plumber I recommend to anyone. Thank you Raul!!!
Raul was very quick and easy to work with.
He came out the same day and helped me fixed my problem very quick.
definitely am keeping his number for all of my future needs!

Raul is a professional who goes out of his way to help you. He responded to an issue with my water heater on a Sunday when I had a hard time getting a hold of anyone else. He is honest, knowledgeable and hardworking. Highly recommended.
Raul came to our home and fixed our issues quickly! He was super friendly and explained everything as he worked. I would recommend R & J Plumbing & Drains to anyone who needs plumbing services.
Fast and reliable. Raul came to my place with the intent to ensure I have good sewage flow. He was very helpful and professional. Gave me a set price and performed the task as he described. No fuss.
As a maintenance coordinator for WeLease, I have found Raul Godinez to be fantastic! He is super responsive, and I have gotten feedback from our tenants that he is dependable & amazing. I can always depend on him. I look forward to working together in resolving any plumbing issues that may come my way.
Raul came within an hour of being contacted. He came all the way out from Chula Vista to my place in Poway. He was polite, easy to talk to, and quick at getting my pipe clear of blockage.
He had to break out the big drain cleaner and my kitchen appliances, sink and washer are running smooth once again.
I would recommend him to any and all who aren't sure whom they can trust to do the job right.
Super responsive. On a Friday night from the time I called until the time they fixed my toilet was under 40 minutes. So grateful I came across this company. The prices are fair as well.

Our home was experiencing rattling of our water line which was shaking the whole home and woke us up at 5:00 am. I called R&J plumbing and spoke with Raul. He came immediately and found our problem (sprinkler issue) within minutes. The service was amazing and he is very knowledgeable. We paid a small service fee for the entire call and the experience couldn't have been better. Thank you!
Let me just say great customer service. I had an emergency. My toilet was backed up I put a request for a quote to have my toilet snaked. Within minutes not only did I get call back number,but also a quote. Which was pretty comprable to other plumbing services without the wait of a free estimate service call. Not only did Raul give me an estimated time of arrival, he was there 5 minutes of that window due to traffic. After Raul arrived it was determined that it wasn't a drain problem, but a mainline issue which required a larger snake. Raul explained what was needed and still pricing wasn't drastically different. Within 30 minutes and 50 feet of snake later the clog was cleared and all before I had to go to work.
Raul showed up on time and handled an emergency job at my home today in a timely manner. Unfortunately for myself, my building has ancient plumbing that frequently has problems! At least now I know that I can count on Raul in the future to get the job done.
This was the best experience I've had hiring a plumber, ever.
Raul quoted me the best price out of four companies. He completed the job that day and did extra work I didn't even think of to make sure the job was done right.
Full trust, will use again. Very easy to work with. Don't hesitate, just call Raul!

There are many good plumbers around, but I'll definitely call Raul back when we need service again. He was great. Fixed a running/leaking toilet. He was on time, fixed it quickly and kept to his estimate. Honest guy. Everything a service call should be!
I usually don't post reviews but in this case I would like inform the fellow customers regarding my experience.
I was initially quoted $350 flat fee for addressing a water leak over the phone, then the fee was increased to $475 when plumber look at the leak. The final amount was again increased to $600. They also drained the sewage from the back instead of from the front clean up access which was unnecessary as the back access was much further. Jerry (boss) and Raul were not flexible on the final fee and would not leave the property until $600 was paid. This tells me that either they don't know what they are doing and don't how to properly quote a fee or they are purposely misleading the customers by initially promising low flat fee over the phone and then increase it.
Additionally, Raul yelled at my a tenant. She had to go over to the neighbors as she did not feel safe. Raul did apologize later.
My experience was unfortunately unpleasant as the fee almost doubled from the initial quote and my female tenant did not feel safe around plumber.
I do not recommend their service based on my experience.
IMPORTANT UPDATE!!! Text messages attached 1-5.
After the review, Raul Godinez reached out and said he could care less about the review, then proceeded to return to the property unannounced which scared my tenant who told him to leave. After that he threatened to put my property on so called plumber radar so that other plumbers would not do any work at property. Mr. Godinez also accused my tenant of doing drugs without any evidence and even joke about how he charged me $600. This behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable. Attached is the full text messages exchange - I numbered the screenshots since they are not in right order.
I sincerely hope this will not happen to any other consumer.
I will also be filing a complaint with CSLB (Contractors State License Board).
On top of that it seems like he is not licensed as I could not search his name on CSLB website even though he claims he is licensed.
I got estimates from 4 different plumbers and Raul was by far the best option. I requested a quote to fix a water pipe, which he provided within minutes and he also came the same day to take a look. I could tell Raul was a true professional the way he assessed the situation compared to the other plumbers -- he also gave a very reasonable price. It took him 45 min to fix, did an excellent, clean & neat job. He explained very simply what the problem was and also alerted me to another water leak that needs to be taken care of. I'm very glad I hired Raul for this and will keep using him for our plumbing needs. We would him recommend without hesitation. Thanks again Raul!

Raul was honest, quick & so easy to speak to and understand. He was patient and his job was amazing... so nice to have hot water again!!!
Raul showed up within an hour after I called and immediately got to work on a very gross plumbing problem of kitchen waste backing up through the tub. It looked like vomit! We were worried it would flood! He quickly found the problem and went outside and cleared put the blockage. His charges were very reasonable. We will use him again!

Raul was able to come out quickly to resolve a clogged toilet and also get our lines hydro jetted. His prices were reasonable and he was super responsive. He is the only plumber I spoke to that was actually honest about the work he was going to do and what was truly needed.
Highly recommend Raul to come and fix all of your plumbing needs!
Super happy I found Raul. I just purchased a home and noticed one of the toilets was leaking, I contacted Raul based on Yelp matching and he was very quick and responsive. He gave me an estimate, I was able to call him and explain the issue and he had a good idea of what was needed. We set up an appt within a couple of days and he came on time and completed the service very quickly. He informed me of everything that he did. I am grateful for his service and will definitely contact him again with any further plumbing needs. Thank you Raul.
Raul was prompt, efficient and very friendly. He let me know every step of the job he was doing. I would definitely recommend him .

Raul came to help us with a leaky faucet on the same day I requested service. He did not over charge and kept a nice clean work place. He had to get parts for us twice but was very considerate about pricing and showing us why and what damages had been done over the years. Reasonable pricing and very nice man. Thanks Raul!
Raul with R & J Plumbing & Drains 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.
Raul is friendly over the entire back-and-forth project discussions as well as providing constructive suggestions. He got the job done nicely and in a timely manner. Overall, very satisfied with the service with reasonable cost.
Raul responded quickly to my response and sent Jerry out to fix my clogged drain. I appreciated the friendly and prompt service. I'm very satisfied.
