We have been using Rick's Plumbing for over 5 years now. Wouldn't use anyone else. Always reasonably priced and courteous, and definitely knowledgeable about all things plumbing related. He shows up when he says he is going to show up and works hard. We highly recommend his services.

I am so grateful and relieved. IF YOU NEED AN HONEST PROFESSIONAL PLUMBER (DONT HESITATE) TO CALL RICK! I saw Rick's stocked, commercial truck pull up and TWO MEN stepped out prepared to work. I showed them my newly installed sink (that someone hooked up wrong; it leaked) Rick said he'd refigure it. I also needed the outside corroded and dripping faucet replaced. I was quoted $150.00 for everything. After working on my sink Rick found that I needed a new strainer. I said I'd gladly pay him for it. But, he said he'd take care of it. I saw both professionals check their own work, then each other's! They made sure to clean up after themselves. They know what they're doing, they get right to it; they were in and out like lightening. What just happened? I am in a daze! I have one word for Rick's plumbing; AMAZING! And two wise words for you, CALL THEM.

GREAT service, fast, friendly. Came the next day we called and made us aware of some under the sink hoses that were unnecessary. Snake the plumbing and now all is clear and flowing great. Highly recommend!

Water softener, reverse osmosis, replacement of 4 bathroom faucets. Great service. I couldn't recommend Rick more. He got the work done as promised.

My water heater stopped working and my water softener was leaking water. I needed someone to replace both quickly. I searched and called around and decided to hire Rick. Rick has the best prices for high quality products and work.

Rick did a fantastic job in replacing my water heater and water softener. He was on time, worked quickly and was ready to get everything done.

Rick was very personable and was very open about the type of work that was done. Not only that, after he was finished, he hauled away all of the old products. Not only did he replace my water heater and water softener, he upgraded the items.

I would highly recommend Rick to anyone.

We removed our washer and discovered that one of the valves wouldn't close all the way, they were original to the 1980 condo. We needed two new valves. I called Rick. Within an hour of my call, he was replacing both valves. He was fast and his work is solid. He was neat and tidy and did a great job. Will certainly call him again.

Rick and Anthony did an excellent job. They fixed a leak and installed new toilets and faucets. They did a great job in cleaning up afterwards. Highly recommend them.

Rick is amazing! 3 months ago, he repaired our shower for us (complete replacement with a new shower head and valve) and it was just perfect. He did everything including drywall.
About a week ago, he installed water softner for me. It works perfect and there is no noise at all (unlike the one I used to use.. which drived me crazy).
Rick knows how to make customers happy! He's awesome.

I highly recommend Rick's Plumbing. He is currently managing a huge project at our home and has been very professional and responsive. He and his team are super hardworking and care about doing a great job. I couldn't imagine a better plumber and have felt like our home has been in good hands.

Jonathan R.

Rick was on time, knowledgeable, very friendly and hard working. He fixed my main sewer line. I'm extremely happy with his work. Very fair in his pricing. If you don't need the work done, he won't hesitate to tell you. Give him a call.

Don't listen to the one star review from the guy criticizing ricks driving. You need a plumber not a chauffeur.

If you want someone who cares about the quality of their work and will go the extra mile, Rick's Plumbing is for you. We called Rick to fix a leaking sink. While he was here, I asked about replacing my water heater because it was old and I knew it's life expectancy had passed. He discovered it was more than old, it had become damaged because a leaky toilet had been dripping on the water heater, probably for years, and it had rust on the outside. He repaired the toilet which involved repairing the weak floor - the cause of the leak, replaced the water heater which involved replacing some poorly installed pipes, and while he was at it, we had him replace 3 toilets, install a water softener and a Reverse Osmosis unit. He showed up on time, worked like crazy for 3 full days and left us feeling a lot drier. Do you have a plumber who calls back after 2 days to see how everything was and if there were any problems? Rick did! I saw the reviews that said his personality is negative but I disagree. Yes, he has a strong personality, but he has strong opinions of how a repair should be made. I strongly recommend Rick's plumbing for any future repairs.

Mark S.

Rick replaced our kitchen faucet & repaired the shotty work left by the previous owner under the sink. He was very professional, knows what he is doing, & cleans up afterwards. He will be our go to guy from now on for ALL of our plumbing needs!

Elizabeth M.

We saw this business through yelp. Quick service. Quick on availability. They installed a faucet that was leaking in my bathroom. I had a small issue on my other faucet as well and I thought I needed work. Turned out a small piece was missing on my faucet sink stopper. He installed a small part and didn't charge me for it. Great work . I would definitely use his business again.

I bought a new Kenmore water softener from Sears (going-out of business sale) to replace the old one. Thought about calling Sears for the installation service, but after reading their bad reviews I then decided to look for a local plumber instead. I came across a 5-star plumber on yelp, Rick's Plumbing. I was not disappointed. Rick is very efficient, honest, and takes pride at what he does. I have had bad experience with other plumbers in the past, but very satisfied with Rick. I will definitely call him again for other plumbing needs. Rick also sells water softener at reasonable price. I would have bought a new one from him if I knew it earlier.

David C.

I highly recommend Rick's Plumbing for the following reasons;

1. Thorough and detail job
2. Care for quality of work
3. Recommending what best fits my needs rather than pushing for higher cost options
4. Willingness to inspect and even fix minor issues that are outside of the job scope for free

If you ever need to fix plumbing under home warranty, don't waste your time with warranty company's contractors, get cash out and have Rick do the job. You will save money and also get higher quality work.

When I called Rick, he gave me cost over the phone and assured me that final cost is fixed. He showed up on time, got the job done, and I paid him exactly what he quoted over the phone.

I was very happy with the quality of Rick's work. I was able to sense that he works with pride and satisfaction for good result. Everything turned out very nicely, clean, and neatly. He made sure to clean up the work area as well.

As bonus, he tested our water quality from each faucet for free and made sure our water softer is working properly and also fixed five of our pop-up sink stoppers for free.

Again, I highly recommend Rick's Plumbing!

Our home has a Pentair reverse osmosis system that stopped working. The parts per million count jumped from under 100 to +500 (near tap water). I called Rick since he was nearby and had a high Yelp rating. He answered and started asking questions to diagnose the problem. He spent about 20 minutes walking through possible solutions. While I ultimately did not retain his services, I really appreciated his honesty and efforts to give me several options without charging me for his advice. Based on his integrity, I plan to use his plumbing services in the future.

I have to say Rick is one hell of a plumber. We had a water heater go out and I found Rick's Plumbing on Yelp and figured I would give him a shot after leaving messages for others will no call backs. Rick came the next day exactly at 2:30...got out of his truck with his helper and got right to work...the old heater was out in minutes and he then spent most of his time removing and fixing/prepping the old plumbing that some other plumber did a half ass job on including a whole new gas line running from the wall to the new unit with no extra charges. I watched the whole process and he made it look easy...it's not but that's how good he is at his profession. Heater went in no issues...turned it on...cleaned up well and he was on his way. All business with some great conversation during the work. Plumbers/Craftsman like Rick are hard to find now a days...and he will not jerk you around and I assure you if you call him he will not leave until the job is done right and to his standards which I am guessing are always higher than his customers standards which easily explains his 5 star ratings.

Thanks again Rick.

Side note- you know he stands by his work when he takes a sharpie after he is done and writes his name/number as well as 6 year warranty with the install date on the actual heater!!!

Third time using Rick and he did an awesome job again. Shower handle broke and he came same day. Ended up installing a new water heater we were already thinking about doing and Rick got us a great deal on a brand new Rheem! My wife has hot water all through her long showers now! Thanks Rick! I will continue to send all my real estate clients to you!

I have had this guy work on a few plumbing projects at my home in the last 12 months. The guy does a great job, but unfortunately he is FULL OF HIMSELF. DOWN RIGHT RUDE, OBNOXIOUS, INSULTING and PATRONISING. He has ZERO people skills or any customer service accumen. If you are thick skinned enough to accept and tolerate that and are not offended by his MISOGONISTIC behavior then go ahead hire him.

So I got a call from my wife about a growing pool of water in the garage. I was hoping it was just my earthquake readiness supply, but on further inspection it was coming out from the wall between the drywall and the slab. Gave Rick a call and like usual he answered right away. I traded some pictures back and forth and luckily for me the leak was above the slab.

Rick came out the next morning and went straight to work on the leak. It was in a tight area, and it may have been easier for him to go through the drywall on the other side which is in my son's closet. Rick, being the considerate professional he is, handled it through the garage wall so as not to disrupt my son's closet which has one of those installed closet organizers.

Rick is one of those guys that takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows. He never leaves something half done and when he leaves the problem is solved and you don't have to worry about whether you just got screwed on the price or craftsmanship. He only charges you for what needs to be done and has never tried to up sell me on any of his visits. He also adjusted/fixed something I hadn't noticed with the water heater and the toilet in my hall bathroom.

With a fifty year old house things are bound to come up here and there, and I am honestly grateful to have found someone I can trust to get the job done the right way at a fair price.

Awesome! I can't remember the last time I was this happy to spend a few hundred dollars on professional work.
After having 3 local plumbers come out and quote me on replacing a tub and shower valve, I came across Rick's Plumbing and am SO thankful I did.
Other plumbers quoted me twice as much for the work (probably because they saw my DIY house coming along and figured I was happy spending money on professional work when I've actually done all the work myself).
Rick gave me a price over the phone, and during our conversation I mentioned, I also have the wall open already so you can see all the plumbing.
His reply, Oh, then I can take off $50-60, so it will be even less.
Wow, WOW! Honest, friendly and experienced.
He has pricing posted on his website unlike all of the other plumbers who came out. He didn't look at the job and say, I'll call my office real quick to get you a quote, like all the other plumbers did.
He pulled up early, was patient while I spent 20 min cleaning the work area (I expected him at 8am but he got there at 7:30!), he surveyed the job, got to work, and after 2 hrs charged me exactly what he said he would.
Rick also told me of possible options for future bathroom plans we have, and when I'm ready to remodel I know EXACTLY who will be doing my plumbing, Rick's Plumbing.
I am so happy I came across Rick and his company and will be recommending him to all my neighbors.
Check out his website, give him a call.
If you have plumbing issue, I sincerely encourage you to use Rick's plumbing.
THANKS RICK!!!

Had a major sprinkler pipe blow up. Rick fit me in after a big job and we got the water turned on in time for evening showers. Friendly, efficient and returned my call right away. Why did I not know about him before as I have lived in Fullerton for 47 years.

Recently, I had Rick do some plumbing work in our home. He responded very quickly to our initial estimate request. He was on time to do the estimate and the estimate was fair and reasonable. His work was very professional and very well done. We are very pleased. He is very knowledgeable and helped us understand the work they were recommending. The Softener and RO system are working great. We would definitely use them again.

I needed a gas line added for my Bar B Q, called Do it wright, his bid was $1600.00. I thought that was a bit high, so I called Ricks which I got off the internet. He asks that I send some pics of the area which I did, Rick called me back and said it would be about $500. He came by a couple of hours and confirmed his bid. The next day Rick and his son, Anthony, who is learning the business from his dad, and will someday take it over from Rick came and completed the job. It was a real pleasure watching Rick teach his son how to do the job the correct way. Rick is a local and has lived in the Fullerton area many years and raised his family. As many of you know sometimes it hard to find a good hard working HONEST tradesman, I fell Rick is just that and that Anthony will carry on like his dad.

I called Rick to install a last minute water line before our fridge got delivered and he made time to come out in very short notice. He not only installed the line, but he fixed leaks, repaired my garbage disposal, and replaced a few parts that needed it. He was very polite and friendly and had extensive knowledge of his craft. He did an excellent job and I would definitely recommend his services. I will be using him again. 5 stars.

Kitchen sink was leaking onto outside patio every time we used the water. Rick came out next day! Took a look & fixed it the following day. He had to make a hole in stucco wall & drill my patio but he found the cracked pipe. He also fixed another section of piping that was going to be my next problem. Additionally, he offered to stucco the hole in wall outside & concrete the patio! A+ in my book.

Phillip L.

Rick is great! Had 2 valves fail in the main supply to the house and decided to add a pressure regulator. He came out and did the work himself right away. He was reasonable, helpful and friendly.

Needed to install water softener at my house and luckily we found Rick to help. Called him on Saturday, he showed up on Sunday to do estimate, Monday to start installation, and finished on Tuesday. Softener works as expected. What a prompt and professional service!

Some plumbers will leave wall opened after their work saying it's not their responsibility to close it. Rick not only closed the wall but did it so professionally. Also he did some extra work to clean up some old pipes and reroute some water lines. Really appreciate his help, highly recommended!!!

I started my Monday with our water heater leaking in the garage. I gave Rick a call and he was there within 30 minutes. In less than 2 hours, the water heater was replaced with a new one, and i have to say, one of the most best looking installations that i have seen. I have been in the commercial / industrial waste business for over twenty years, so i have seen an installation or two.

Rick provided helpful recommendations and did a bit more work at no additional charge. I found the fees charged to be well in line and were a tremendous value.

I am extremely satisfied with my experience, value, courteous, professional service. I like to work with small local business's, Rick's Plumbing is a great example of a local business that you can depend on.

I recommend Rick's plumbing and rate 5+ stars in all categories.

Rick was the only plumber who tried to find a solution to our shower turn on problem. He worked on the problem and made several trips to the parts store.
He fixed the internal heat control without having to tear up the shower.
Put in new hot water tank under Kitchen. Took his time and did a great job.
Thank you Rick. We have found our plumber!

Rick is an Honest Plumber with Fair Prices.
He is our guy in Orange County.
We thought we had a slab leak which is $$ to repair.
Rick determined that it was not a slab leak.
If you want a plumber you can trust, Rick is the
one to call.

Rick is an excellent plumber, can't recommend him highly enough. He fixed my soft water issue in matter of minutes. Very friendly and works with high degree of integrity. You want to call him for your plumbing issues, without any reservations!

Joe S.

I needed to replace my water heater and called Rick for estimate. He gave a very fair price over the phone and he was able to come out on a Saturday to do the work. He showed up on time and did a great job with the replacement. He even went a step further by restoring the drywall and the wood base that was damaged from the leak. I've heard many times from plumbers that they won't do the drywall repair. You can tell that Rick takes pride in his work and completes the job with high standards. I would definitely use Rick again.

Harvey H.

12/07/2016 12:00:00 SA

My family has needed Ricks services several times in the last 15 years for varied issues from a slab leak, to installing a clean out, and general repair, including opening up a wall .All service was of professional quality, and prices that are reasonable. His drywall work is very good. His plumbing skills, even better. Have referred to others, and will continue to do so. Rick also replaced a condensate line for the A/C that was very difficult to access. He made it look easy, and I know it wasn't.

Angela G.

12/26/2017

We called Rick, very friendly guy, came to our house very nice guy, checked the issue gave us quote and we made an appointment for him to come in and fix it,

He does great work and very clean, i highly recoment him.
Thnaks Rick!

I had a leak in my water main and Rick came out within an hour, gave me a fair quote and proceeded to do the work. He had to saw cut a section of driveway and dig down at least 2 feet to find the leak, fix it and patch the hole. It was such a relief to have the job done so quickly and expertly. He and his helper were lifesavers today!

Recently my water heater was acting funny. It was spraying jets of flame into the boiler of the water heater. Learned from Rick that it was the pilotignition going bad. Rick installed a new water heater as well as replaced the filters from the reverse osmosis water system that were installed over two years ago. Rick was professional and efficient. He did a clean job and was pleasant to deal with. Would recommend Rick for all plumbing work.

Dennis M.

5/18/2017

Rick the plumber is the best plumber. We just used him to repair our old toilet and he had a hard time to find the part but he did and fixed the problem. We have used him many times and recommend him. He is the best and very reasonable with his rates.

Carol N.

10/10/2016 12:00:00 SA

What a jerk!!!!! He comes in and tells us that if he has to take his shoes off and on it would be a problem. He then pulls his arms and hands up and says tell me right now if you want me to look at it but I'm not gonna take my shoes off. We took his offer and showed him the door. Who comes to any home with dirty shoes and refuses to do his job if he has to take his shoes off. His attitude was pompous with a Hint of racism, mentioning it must be a cultural thing... Um no it's a clean thing. My husband mentioned that we had young kids! He says I got kids so what! He is very very egotistical like he has plenty of jobs and doesn't need to be respectful or service-oriented. In any case, don't work with a jerk. Don't know if he's any good at his actually job because his attitude didn't allow for us to get there.

Ms J.

03/11/2017 12:00:00 SA

We are very grateful Rick helped us with our leaky water heater pipes! He was able to come out same day as we called, quickly assessed what had happened, and had everything needed to fix/replace it in his work truck. The price was very fair. Definitely our go to guy for any future plumbing/water heater issues (that hopefully never happen, because that was a small nightmare)

Jeannie K.

11/12/2014 12:00:00 SA

Rick did a good job on my faucets to stop a dripping problem and also fixed my tub's cold faucet botched by another local plumber who insisted it was fine. He is conscientious and very knowledgeable.

Daniel S.

09/05/2022 12:00:00 SA

We remodeled our kitchen and needed a disposal, faucet replacement and hose bib installed ( I thought). Rick got here and took a look under the sink , asked if I just wanted patch work or fix it right so I thought it was just a up selling job. After opening up the stucco wall I saw what he had figured and totally agreed with his diagnoses and glad he(we) did it right. He and his son, Anthony, worked in the hot sun opening the stucco, repairing and re stuccoing , great job by both of them. 5 star in my book.

Andy H.

02/01/2018 12:00:00 SA

We had a great experience working with Rick, He gave a very good price for installing a Water Softener Systems, main water shut-off valve, He did excellent job installing the systems, clean out and testing well. He had also replaced the bath tub faucets, two Toto toilets and done with ease. Rick is very friendly and professional guy and he knows his stuff. We are really happy with his works, he is my go to guy for any future plumbing, great job!!! thanks Rick.

Found Rick through a referral from Sam L. I was all set to purchase a water softener/reverse osmosis system from one of the big box stores until I found out that Rick also sells and installs a water softener system (with a warranty to boot!) for only a little more than buying my own system and finding someone to install it.

Rick did a fantastic job. Like everyone has said he is friendly, honest, professional and very knowledgeable. He tells you what needs to be done, and doesn't try to upsell you stuff that you really don't need. He arrived on time to do the install, walked us through what he did after the installation, and made sure everything was cleaned up after he left.

What sets him apart from other plumbers I've worked with is his follow-up. Most of the contractors I've hired do their job, collect their check, and leave. Rick took the extra step of contacting me a couple of days later to make sure everything was working and that I was happy with my new system (Yes, and yes). He thought there may have been an issue with the RO system that he installed so he went out of his way to come back and check, and then contacted the manufacturer to make sure it was working as designed (it was!). How many other contractors would do that for you?

If you need a plumber, I highly recommend Rick.

I called Rick one morning and I told him that I wanted Bradford White 50 gal hot water and he gave me no bullshit answer. He told me the reasonable price and he is going above and beyond what I expected.
He even put a piece of plywood underneath my water heater, so my water heater would stay level and neat. I have been dealing with so many other plumbing company before, but Rick is one of a kind. Very eager and hard working man. He is full of can do power. Thank you Rick for making me a happy customer. I will definitely call you for future plumbing issue.

Sam L.

12/27/2017

I have found my go to plumber now... I just wished I had found him sooner. Rick is what everyone have said he is on Yelp. He is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and cleans up after the job.

Not knowing too much on water softener systems, and not having a trusted plumber to start with... I went with purchasing one online. I had Rick installed my water softener and I am having him come back to install my kitchen sink and reverse osmosis system.

Thank you,

Craig C.

8/24/2016

I had plumbing issue of my toilet. I found Rick on Yelp and contacted him right away. Rick came to my house and really spent a lot of hours and energy to fix my problem. Instead of cutting the wall and the pipe, Rick tried three different ways to resolve the problem. most important, Rick went to Home-Depot to purchase canvas to cover my carpet and floor because he tried to keep my house clean; after the job was done, Rick put everything back to their original spot. He does care about his customers and really responsible. I really appreciate his help and he saved me a lot of money. He will definitely be my go-to guy if I have the same issue in the future.

Rick and his team installed a whole house water filter and under the sink RO system. Where we live, the water is treated with chloramines so we wanted a filter that would remove toxins and heavy metals etc as well. Rick was so professional, honest, and explained everything thoroughly from the very first phone call. They got the job done fast and efficiently leaving no trace behind. Not only was I happy with the work they did, but I also tested the water myself with a water testing kit and it passed all measures. Filtered water from every faucet. Highly recommend Rick! Exceptional customer service and super clean work.

Rick is awesome. I have used several other plumbers in the past, but never felt the need to ever give them more business. Rick is now my plumber. He was clean, knowledgeable, and finished the job in great time.
I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone for any job.

We stopped getting hot water and were worried whether we would be able to get someone to come in to fix our water tank in such short notice and with the government lockout order due to coronavirus had us concerned. Rick's plumbing had installed our new water tank in 2017 and did an amazing job then and we had to call for his services again. We were relieved when Rick confirmed to come by the same day. A part had to be ordered from the manufacturer that would take 4 business day. However Rick went above and beyond to call his local suppliers and find the exact part needed. He drove from Brea to La Palma to get the part and came back to replace it. He wanted to make sure our family had hot water and he did not even charge us for the house call because he said we were under the warranty even though we insisted to cover at the very least for his gas cost but he still refused. I recommend Rick for all your plumbing and water softener services. He is a super nice and very friendly person and got the job done so quickly. I will recommend his service to all my friends and family. He was just the best!

Rick is great! He is knowledgeable, so he doesn't waste time. We had a complicated issue with hot water coming out the cold tap. He research it until he found an original washing machine valve the was allowing mixing of hot and cold water. He replaced it in a professional manner at a reasonable cost.

It was late afternoon and we had no water, found Rick on yelp and called him and he said he could be there in a couple of hours (and he was) Rick did a great job of fixing the main water valve at our house. He was quick at fixing the problem and did it for a very fair price

Bill H.

2/21/2017

Rick installed a kitchen faucet a month ago that I purchased at Home Depot. It was defective and started to leak bad yesterday. Rick picked up a higher quality faucet today and installed it at a discounted price as he felt bad for me having to pay for the install twice.

So my water shut off valve pipe bursted and I was in a major panic not knowing how to shut the thing off while it was starting to completely flood the outside of my home...

My helpful, generous neighbor was a real lifesaver shutting it off for me from the curve side, and he was also the one who recommended Rick.

Word of mouth is always the best way to go, but all these 5 star reviews here speak for themselves too.

Rick came on a really short notice, on a really hot Sunday morning to get the job done for me. He texted me when he was coming and arrived on time. He made sure to get it done properly, and he did it for waaaaaaay less than what others would have charged... definitely not the kind of person who would try to take advantage.

He's a really cool down to earth guy too. All the reviews and recommendations definitely speak the truth! Thanks Rick!

Rick fixed a gas leak in my garage feeding my dryer and hot water heater. He was punctual, experienced, and fairly priced. The workmanship on the repair was excellent. I would not hesitate to use him again and would recommend him anyone in need of plumbing services!

Rick has been performing plumbing services on my home for many years. Just trust his work. Had a water heater, water softener, reverse osmosis unit and a new toilet installed. Rick also corrected a sticky water value problem on our washer which was a concern. Found Rick to be friendly, very knowledgeable and his work was top notch, all at a fair price. He shows up on time and leaves the work area clean.

Plumbing issues? Don't hesitate to call Rick...I would highly recommend him!

Rick did an excellent job replacing my hot water heater. I called him on Sunday when it quit and got an appointment the next day. He was on time, did a great job replacing the heater, cleaned up after himself and even sealed some water leaks in the shed that contains the heater at no additional charge. Rick is a nice guy and takes pride in his work. I highly recommend him.

Found Rick on yelp like many of you and saw the reviews were pretty good. Like everyone else that had given a 5 star I can't say anything different then the other Yelpers. I called Rick to repair my water heater. He came on time, was very friendly and knowledgeable on the issue of why the heaters pilot light would not stay on. He was very quick and through on removing and replacing the bad part as well. Didn't leave any mess behind, cleaned up all the excess debris from the heater.

Long story short, I have hot water again thanks to Rick. Definitely would recommend to others.

Rick is as solid a plumber that you will find. He helped up pick fixtures for our bathroom remodel following a botched plumbing job from our previous home owner. He is just a super good dude, honest and will get things done on time with very meticulous attention to detail. RICK IS A TOTAL ROCKSTAR and my family will recommend him for ever. Hire him for your next plumbing job and you'll see!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Rick and Rick's Plumbing. This is the 2nd time we've called upon Rick to help us out with a plumbing issue at a moments notice - he made time today to come and help me out and as always did a great job. We had a leak due to a plug that went bad in the line that feed water to the house. Though it should have been a simple fix for most people it was made more complex due to how the builder of the home did the original work so I was not comfortable or had the tools to fix it. Rick did it quickly and having used him before I knew the quality and care were there. His price for the job was extremely fair and generous. He also sells/installs Water softener systems which we are strong considering. Rick has over 30 yrs of experience and he's an easy going, easy to talk to and fair guy - quality work, quickly at a fair price - what more can you ask for. Thank you Rick!

I needed my water softener and tankless water heater replaced. I called the company they referred me to Rick. Him and his team did an amazing job!! Very professional, honest and reasonable price. I highly recommend Rick's Plumbing. Excellent service Rick! Thank you for all the extra work you did with no additional charge. God bless.

Rick was great at giving an honest assessment and making sure the end result was outstanding. We were told we needed to spend several thousands of dollars to repipe the house we just bought but he told us that is was completely fine and we just had to fix the leaks under the pipes. He saved us a ton of money and now we have new fixtures and absolutely no leaks. Rick really took time to explain everything and took into considering our budget and needs. Its like having your trusted uncle take care of things. I will recommend him to all my real estate clients for sure!

Rick installed a water heater and fixed a water leak at my residential property. He's very responsive, work is perfect, and price is competitive. He's also a straight-forward, no frills kind of guy. I would highly recommend him for your plumbing needs!

I met Rick while he was doing an installation of a water softener/reverse osmosis filtration system for one of my neighbors. I could see he was meticulous about his work. He explained what he was doing and why, and also provided some literature about the system. I went home, did some research and then went back to give him a deposit for the same system. I had already gotten a quote from another plumber, but Rick's was significantly less for an equivalent system. He just completed our installation. It went very smoothly and everything is working like it should. We love our soft water and great tasting drinking water.

I called Rick to replace a broken water boiler years ago. Rick came quickly and done a superb job installing a new water boiler at my house with a 6 year warranty. The warranty covers labor from him and the water boiler from the manufacturer. About 2 months ago, the water boiler started leaking so I called Rick about replacing it under warranty, he didn't make me wait at all even though he wouldn't be paid for this replacement and came almost immediately and replaced the bad boiler. As promised, he did not charge me anything for labor, just the cost of the boiler. He even showed me the receipt where he got the boiler from to proof he did not charge me extra. Then he gave me full instructions on how to get my warranty refund back from the manufacturer. I wish dealing with the manufacturer was as easy as dealing with Rick because the manufacturer sent me to this department and that department, asked me to send info to an email they gave me and never replied to my email. It was a nightmare, however, Rick would call me from time to time to check on the progress when that wasn't really his problem at all. Finally, when he saw that I was getting nowhere with the manufacturer after like 2 months of trying, he asked me for the info I had and he personally went to his boiler supplier himself and they talked to the manufacturer for me and within a few days, Rick himself sent me the refund check for the full amount!!! I can't say enough about Rick's expert knowledge of his craft and his personal integrity! I would recommend him to anyone needing plumbing services!

My water heater was leaking and I needed a reliable plumber so I looked on Yelp and found Rick. He had nothing but 5-Star reviews so I gave him a call in the morning and he said he'd be over as soon as he was done with a call he was already responding to. He came over after lunch and within minutes diagnosed the issue and gave me a price and an estimate on how long the work would take. From start to finish Rick was a man of his word, he came over like he said he would, he charged exactly what he quoted me ( no hidden costs), and he finished the work on time. Rick's a really nice guy with a good attitude and gets straight to the point. I'll be calling Rick for all my plumbing needs from now on.

I had Rick come out to my house to replace my old water softener. He did a fantastic job on the install. He's very friendly, on time, competitive on pricing, and always picks up the phone when I called. I would not hesitate to use Rick again for any plumbing work.

Thanks Rick

If you are looking for a awesome Professional plumber look no further. Ricks plumbing can do it all. Called him on Thursday and he installed my water heater on Friday. Also moved my washer and dryer location and had to reroute the dryer vent outside.

Very professional, friendly, confirmed appt day before arrival. Showed up on time, ready to get to work. Great worker and work . Rick was finished with all work in very timely manner. Job was neat, clean and all mess with old water heater removed and cleaned up. Very competitive in pricing, guarantees work. Highly recommend Rick for plumbing needs. A+work and 5 Star rating.

Rick is AWESOME! He has been consistently reliable, honest, conscientious. He will let you know when he will be there, he shows up on time, he is very honest and fair, even generous and kind.

As a single mom who has used his services over the last few years, I highly recommend him.

Last week, I tried getting a new dish washer delivered and installed by home depot. The delivery guy wouldn't do the install due to the water supply valve being corroded. While we were under there, I also noticed the drain pipes from my sink were leaking. Having used Rick on 2 previous occasions, he was my first phone call as I already know I can trust him. (previously Rick installed my water heater, fixed a slab leak installed faucets for me etc)

Rick was able to come out in a couple days and change out the dish washer water shut off valve and two other valves and he put in some new drain pipes under my kitchen sink. Installation went perfect and his pricing is very honest.

I highly recommend calling Rick if you have any plumbing needs.

Rick's 5 Star reviews are right on point. Excellent service and Rick is such a nice man, prompt and on time. I could kick myself for ever using Mike The Smell Good Plumber who I called, because I had used them previously. I knew I just needed the pilot light fixed because the water heater was only 6 years old. Mike The Smell Good Plumber came over and then quoted me $3212 for a brand new water heater plus $187 for a city permit..really, there are no fools Here!!! I read Ricks review from another customer whose pilot went out and he said Rick did a great job. Rick just finished installing a new kit for.....$250. Now that is a fair and honest guy right there. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RICKS!!

Rick is a class act! A couple of years after a project was completed, a pipe broke one afternoon, sending water and dirt down my driveway from within my planter. I contacted Rick to take a look at it, mainly because it was in an awkward place and I didn't want to uproot my plants to get there, as an amateur. He came out one afternoon, noted it was part of that original project, took care of it and left a note to say it was taken care of. Who guarantees their work like this, these days?!?! Rick does. Thanks Rick! You're my plumber for life!

Tristan W.

05/09/2013 12:00:00 SA

Rick promised I would be happy, that's not strong enough, I'm thrilled. After all these years, I finially have a plumber who does beautiful work, shows up, delivers on his promises and then fixes other things that he sees as potential problems. Thanks Rick

It's been a few years since we've needed or called on plumbing services for our home and we had sadly forgotten old contacts to turn to so we checked the Nextdoor app and saw that a few neighbors HIGHLY recommended Rick. I called him on a Saturday afternoon and he was able to squeeze us into his very busy schedule the following Monday. Rick is the instant-favorite-long-lost uncle you need in your life: honest, straight forward, reliable, efficient, personable, hard working and he has so much integrity. Not only is he incredibly thorough with his work but takes the time to walk you through what work is required along with the materials used (if you'd like to know). His pricing is beyond fair and reasonable and he does not overcharge you nor try to sell you on what is not necessary. He makes solid recommendations that I felt I could trust. He only left our home about an hour ago after completing work on our tankless water heater and a toilet but I knew I had to write him a review right away. I am beyond impressed and grateful for his work and am already planning to call him for another job we need to have done after the holidays. I would HIGHLY recommend him to all my friends, family and neighbors.

Rick is an absolute professional in his craft. I called him for a quote on a water softener installation, and other water heater repairs, and he was available next day to survey our request. He is on time, communicative, and will notify you prior to arrival.

Rick gave us a no-BS assessment on the cost, scope of work, and provided advice for preventative maintenance for the future. He even reduced our quote after assessing that our plumbing was already previously equipped for a softener installation. This, to me, was a true sign of his honesty and integrity.

He had the softener ready the next day, completed the install, and kept the area clean. The copper piping installation is pristine!

Rick is a dedicated, hard-working American and I am more than satisfied with his service. I will be calling Rick for any future plumbing projects or repairs. I am positive that you will too!

I've had multiple water leaks in my copper pipes behind the walls, coming from the ceiling and in the slabs over the years. I was able to DIY and fix them. My home is 31 years old and it was time to overhaul the entire plumbing system. I've used Rick's Plumbing Service in Fullerton before and seen him repipe another house in my neighborhood. I had no doubt that Rick could do the entire job for my home. He has over 40 years of plumbing experience and can pretty much fix any plumbing problem. I could get an idea on how much this job would cost by looking on his website, he shows his pricing which is rare for any contractor to do.

I had Rick do the following for me:

Trench the yard outside and install and reroute some new main water line to come through the garage and relocate the pressure regulator to inside the garage.
Repipe the entire house with new L type copper piping.
Put in new hoses and angle stops on all new supply lines.
Install a new water heater and reinforce the wood base and supports for the water heater.
Replace some of the gas line for the water heater.
Install a new water softener and reverse osmosis system.
Install new shower valves, shower drain, new p-trap, rework some of the drain vents.
Relocate and install all new bibs for hard water outside the house.
Install new garbage disposal.
Install a new toilet.
Patch the walls and ceiling that were cut open to install the new copper piping.
I took care of disposing the materials from the demolition.

He set up the new water heater to have running hot water for the shower while he continued the repipe. My wife and I worked together with Rick and the disruption was minimal. We understood how much work was involved and we were very comfortable with Rick.

He always arrived early and on time in the morning as promised and worked late and long hours to get his work done. Rick has lots of energy and is extremely focused and worked with a sense of urgency from the moment he arrived, he doesn't waste time. You tell him what you need and he tells you how he going to do it and we leave him alone as he knows what to do.

This was a big job and Rick finished the plumbing job in seven days and his patching contractor finished the walls and ceilings in two days. We had the patching contractor do some additional work while he was here.

Rick has superior plumbing skills, knowledge and over 40 years of experience and is a amazing person. He's honest and will tell you what you need and don't need. My wife and I are very happy with is work. We would call him again for our plumbing needs and recommend him to others without hesitation.

He drives a real plumber's truck.

I've read many of his Yelp reviews and they're accurate.

Thank you Ricks Plumbing Fullerton, from W and W Ping Pong.

Rick is definitely my go to plumber. He recently remodeled my bathroom and he did a great job. Rick was able to get it done in two weeks. Clear communication, very knowledgeable about his trade, always on time, perfectionist, and reasonable with his prices. He also replaced my old water heater and I'm satisfied with it. Highly recommended for your plumbing needs and bathroom remodel.

Rick is the best. He installed our water softener and reverse osmosis systems.
He was honest and did a clean installation.
We will use Rick again, without hesitation.
Our neighbor who knows Rick from his work with them on previous projects will install a water softener system in their home.
You cannot go wrong with Rick.

Rick's been our plumber going on 3 years now. We first used him when he installed a water softener for our house and stuck with him for all of our plumbing needs because of his awesome service. He responds quickly, he's reliable, does great work and is extremely honest. His prices are the best that I've found when quoting it around. It's actually a joy to contact Rick cuz we get to catch up and have a warm conversation while we fix some plumbing issues at the same time. Rick's great, we still highly recommend him.

I had a 2 year old Rheem water heater from Home Depot that failed and was recalled for exchange. I decided to replace mine so that I would not have to deal with HD warranty and private label substandard product. Rick came out immediately to review my complex indoor closet with both furnace and water heater tightly woven inside. He recommended not going with tankless and to replace with a similar model from a distributor that he would warranty for 6 years. He recommended adding a drain line into the the raised foundation to make sure my interior was safe from any malfunction and he noticed that the venting was never installed properly which probably caused the malfunction. Rick took his Sunday evening to remove and prep the closet for an early morning delivery and install on Monday. He quoted a very reasonable price to re-plumb the galvanized to copper in the closet (the rest of my plumbing was already copper) and to reset the recirculation pump. Rick worked tirelessly with MacGyver ingenuity to get the new water heater into place which was not an easy feat at all. He noticed that there was a leak in the anode rod which required a specialized tool which he left to find and immediately repaired. He left no stone unturned and created an expert assembly with closet in better condition that when he arrived. He even fixed the doorknobs on the closet! He was polite, timely, and delivered on all promises. He even tested my water and checked my water softener to make sure everything was working on par. Rick is a Fullerton guy with a great manner and a top notch professional.

Dustin M.

This is the second time Rick has come out and both times he's been great. He's always honest about what's going on and he fixes it like it's his own house. It feels like your neighbor stopped by to help you out; your neighbor who also happens to be an expert plumber. We will never use anyone else.

Krystal A.

Interviewed several plumbers to change out our kitchen sink, faucet, and garbage disposal. Chose Rick due to his experience and reasonable price. He was able to schedule us quickly and showed up promptly as promised with his assistant, David. The two worked efficiently together, anticipating the other's next step, all while troubleshooting issues and making friendly conversation. They finished around the time expected, and kept the entire area clean with tarps and wiped down everything afterwards. Rick is a perfectionist and it's evident in his finished work. Would highly recommend him.

We are doing a kitchen remodel and needed our sink drain pipe replaced. Called plumber Rick and he arrived promptly the next morning and had the old one removed and the new one installed in under an hour! Very reasonable pricing too. Super nice guy, hard worker & trusted him in my home. Look no further if you need a reliable, HONEST plumber!

If you ever need a knowledgeable and professional plumber Rick is your guy. This is the second time Rick has worked with us. He always answers his phone and came out on a Sunday to get our tankless system up and running, no price gouging like the big companies. This time he cleaned up a huge mess in our old house, repiped our plumbing for the kitchen sink and clean out, installed a new sink, faucet, garbage disposal, RO system. Rebuilt the rotten wall and cabinet. Then ran new ice maker line, serviced our Noritz tankless by descaling and changing the filter. He worked all day long. He comes prepared and has everything he needs. He is amazing. Thank you for doing such a good job at a fair price. You are our #1, highly recommended.

For several years, Rick's Plumbing has always completed any and all plumbing needs for my home. About three years ago, he re-piped my entire home and also completely remodeled my 60 year old bathroom which now looks amazing. His work ethics are great, always showed up when he said he would and never allowed anything to hinder his work.
His work was exceptionally clean and never left a mess for me to clean up after him. I had other plumbers before I hired Rick's that left horrible messes for me to clean up. Not so with Rick's Plumbing. You can bet that I will never use any other plumber than Rick's. Pricing was very fair and would highly recommend his company. Jan C.

Rick is the best and most honest plumber I have ever dealt with. I really can't recommend him enough. We were having some issues with a water softener that was installed about a year ago, and Rick very quickly figured out the problem and fixed the issue (a piston and seal malfunction). One of Rick's greatest qualities is his no nonsense and straight shooter approach to his business, which I really appreciate. He's a true professional and we will continue to work with Rick on future projects for our home and other properties. Thank you Rick!

Rick does solid work at an affordable price.

He was able to come out quickly in an emergency situation, as our tankless water heater went out. Other companies were already going to charge us a high assessment fee ($200+), Rick came out free of charge to check it out.

Once he was done installing a new water heater for us, he cleaned up the area nicely--as if he was never even there!

Rick is my new go to plumber. My water heater went out yesterday after closing time but Rick still took my call. He came out today and replaced and repiped my old heater in just a few hours. His price is fare and his work is 5 stars.

Brenda R.

03/01/2019 12:00:00 SA

I called Rick at 7 a.m.and he was able to come out that afternoon. I was very grateful for that as we had no hot water. We decided to get a new hot water heater, rather than try and repair. He and his helper did a great job on the installation of the new hot water heater in my garage. They left everything very clean when they were done. Rick even noticed that a repair was needed above the hot water heater, where you could see daylight. He repaired it at no extra cost. I would definitely recommend Rick's Plumbing!

7/27/2017

We found Ricks Plumbing in these Yelp adds. He was one of several that we had called. He came out to give us a free estimate to take out a water heater and relocate and install a new one. His estimate was reasonable and he also had included cleaning up and re-doing some of the existing plumbing that was there.
We found that not only was Rick very friendly and easy to talk to but he was very enthusiastic about the job and his work ethics were great! - He was very good about cleaning up after himself all throughout the job which we really appreciated.
He did a great job and we will definitely call him again if we see plumbing services.

We had a faucet which, after more than 50 years, decided to leak near the angle stop. I called Rick who showed up when he said he would and quickly installed new angle stops and a new faucet I had purchased recently. This is now the third of fourth time I have used Rick's plumbing in about as many years and I have always found him prompt, thorough and highly capable. His rates are very reasonable as well. In our aging house, I fully expect to have more plumbing problems. Rick will be the man I call to fix them. Thanks Rick!

I was seeking a contractor to help install a toilet and also repair a leak and wanted to gather a few estimates since I've only needed plumbing services a few times in my life. I thought Rick had good reviews and gave him a call, and what I found out is that he is NOT a person that you want to work with.

He asked for some pictures of the project and since he was too lazy to just see for himself. I sent him several pictures and then he began to get angry saying that hey your pictures would be better if you moved all your garden and table items. I didn't think I was going to be sending so many pictures that he wanted so I obviously didn't have time to move it prior to me taking the pictures. Then after just merely 8 minutes of talking he got angry and began raising his voice saying you need to stop making me work so hard. It was such an incredulous statement because if he calls this work, then he needs to stick with the labor portion and hire someone to do the communications/sales portion.

Another clue of him being lazy is that he didn't want to do any non-plumbing work (i.e. deck removal) and just wanted an easy job. He also recommend re-routing the pipe from below the deck to above the deck so that he didn't have to un-assemble the joyce, which would be ridiculously ugly... who would do that? So he obviously a contractor that would take short cuts and not fix things the right way.

I'm not sure if he was drinking at a bar because it was loud and sounded like he was at a restaurant. But he obviously has a temper and based on his responses he is very critical and thinks he's always right (machismo?). I;m glad to have found this out on a short call prior to hiring him so I count this as a true blessing. This is just a warning for potential customers because I honestly and truly believe that his 5 star review is NOT legitimate. Either that or this guy is bi-polar and I caught him on a REALLY bad Friday afternoon after the holidays... I wouldn't feel comfortable with someone like this in my home, and I am a dude who can handle himself... I can't imagine a young lady feeling any better with someone like this who knows where you live.... Don't say I didn't warn you.

We had a plumbing issue occur one evening and decided to give Rick a call thinking we would leave a message for him to return the next morning. Not only did he take our phone call, but he successfully diagnosed the issue over the phone-- a broken water softener. Rick installed a new water softener, a reverse osmosis system, and a kitchen faucet. We are happy with everything he did. Rick was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He even called 5 days later to check and see if everything was working well (It was!). We will definitely call Rick again for any of our plumbing needs!

Rick did a very difficult shower/tub faucet install today.
Had to work through a small opening, to install the part and braze the copper pipe. He was on time and a great guy to talk to, totally trustworthy
person.
Its obvious he knows what he's doing, his skills can only come with time on the job. His price was more than fair, for such a hard job. I stood and watched him work, hoping to learn something, what I learned is plumbing is a difficult profession and Rick knows his stuff.

He is my go to guy, when it comes to anything plumbing related.

Thanks again rick. I'll be passing your card around to all my friends, for when they need a plumber.!

I called Rick after he was referred to me this past Monday. He showed up in about an hour after we first spoke. He gave me a free estimate of the work we needed done. He started the next morning on the install of a water softener and water heater along with some other modifications we needed. He worked tirelessly over two days and did not leave until his work was completed on Wednesday evening (almost 8pm). He even came back this morning to check on everything. We are very satisfied with his work and highly recommend him.

Rick is/was great! I called him the day after Thanksgiving and even though he was in MN catching a flight back to LA, he said he would come over. I had a leaking water softener.... It was too old to be repaired and Rick was honest with me and said I'd be wasting money trying to repair it. He said he could replace it and also have it done in one week..... True to his word, Rick came at end of following week, installed new system and even put in new shut off valves, cleaned up the prior installed pipes.... He was so professional and didn't try to up sale me. If you want an honest and reliable Plummer - Rick is your man... Thank you again Rick, and if I have any future needs, I will be calling you!

Where do I begin with how awesome Rick is? I called him years ago because we wanted a water softner and he came by that same day and gave us a free quote. He then had the water softner installed two days later. I then called him several weeks later because our washer hook ups were leaking, and he came by and fixed that AND put in a new drain for our bathtub. I've called/texted him numerous times and instead of charging me he has given me free consultation over the phone. Then today he came and replaced our reverse osmosis system, fixed the leak under our kitchen sink, put new pipes AND replaced our faucet. Rick did so much work for us and has never charged and arm and a leg. I would say he undercharges for how much work he does. My wife is a hard person to please and never trusts anyone but she is always happy with Rick.

I had an urgent situation. I called Rick and he answered right away. I explained the problem and he gave me instruction and agreed to call back to follow up. I could hear that he was very busy yet he took the time to try to help me, a complete stranger! He was able to diagnose the problem over the phone. I really appreciated his help.

Our water heater was making loud noises, so we called Rick to take a look at it. He was very responsive and sent someone to check it out, even when he was on vacation. When he returned from vacation, he called us back with a reasonable quote. He saw that the platform our water heater was standing on was no longer stable and went ahead and replaced it before installing the new water heater. Rick is an honest guy and takes pride in his work. We would highly recommend him for any plumbing needs!

How can a plumbing company have 5 stars?? It's not too good to be true. Our water heater died and Rick showed up quickly, gave us a competitive quote to replace, and got it done in just over 24 hours. He answered the weekend call, showed up on time both times, and left our water heater closet the nicest it has ever been. Pricing is competitive and honest. I could not recommend a better plumber in the Brea area!

These guys are true professionals. They fixed our drainage in half an hour and very reasonable pricing. I recommend them highly for an honest assessment and great finish. Great job. I would call them any time for other jobs. Thank you

Rick gets the Job done! Plain and simple. I needed my water heater replaced. He got the job done quick and for a great price. All the other corporate plumbing services are a rip off! Rick is a great guy who deserves our business.

Tenant review - landlord called Rick's plumbing and he came out same morning to install a new water heater with a more reliable unit. Great guy doing great work! Thanks Rick for getting me hot water again! ( now that we all home more than ever!).

He even puts his name and number on water heater. Now that's confidence!

I called Rick to deal with an emergency situation with a clogged drain line that needed a liner-he delivered the best price and superior product. I felt comfortable having Rick on the job and he made everything run smoothly. 100% trustworthy.

Will definitely use for other plumbing issues as they come up.

It's been a little while since I contracted work with Rick, but when he was here, he took care of my tub installation and repiped my kitchen drain when it ruptured (yes, ruptured!). These were two separate instances, and both jobs were done with precision and an overall improvement to the piping system itself.

He was also the only plumber who uncovered the reason why my tub wasn't draining properly. 3 separate plumbers looked at it and had no clue.

He's the guy I would go to, hands down, for plumbing work, and he'll leave whatever he works on in better condition than even before you had the plumbing issue. I'd highly recommend!

1st time using Rick's Plumbing. Light work changing out old frozen valves to new qtr turn throughout the bathrooms. Very quick to respond, fast without frills or upsells. He noticed we had a water softener and checked water as well. Recommend!

Rick's Plumbing comes through for me every time. Since my last review, I've had to call Rick back out to my house on numerous occasions to fix and/or update many things. My husband and I are remodeling, upgrading and updating everything under the sun! Rick has now remodeled 2 bathrooms at our house, installed a reverse osmosis system and water softener, replaced our awful water heater with an excellent one, replaced several hose bibs and related pipes, crawled under my house numerous times and is now installing a sump pump for drainage issues in my back yard. Rick takes pride in his excellent work and aims to make things right!!! I can't thank you enough Rick's Plumbing! You are truly the best plumber ever!

We have used Rick on multiple occasions. We have had excellent results. Rick treats your project like he is working on his own home. He is responsive; he is honest/quotes remain fixed (see the website for pricing); detail focused and leaves the job spotless. Most recently, Rick installed a water softener system and again we were impressed with Rick's professionalism, work ethic and focus on providing a superior service for a fair price. We highly recommend Rick and would work with him without hesitation. He is a pleasure to work with.

Wow! Called Rick because we couldn't get the pilot light lit on our water heater. He was here in 20 minutes and had the heater running in 10! This is the first time we have used Rick's services and I can tell you his number is now in our contacts as we will most certainly call him in the future!!

I picked Rick from Yelp after my wife let me know we had no hot water. I soon discovered our Water heater was a mess. Called 4 people and got quotes, and Ricks was best, he is local, knowledgeable, and on time! He is permanently in my phone now and he is highly trustworthy.

Rick did an amazing job! We had plumbing leaks and now they are fixed for good! He repiped the entire downstairs with copper piping, installed a new water heater, a new toilet, and a new kitchen faucet. He did his job in a timely manner, working fast and clean. His team patched our walls and ceilings very beautifully. He is very friendly, trustworthy, reliable, and he knows what he is doing. Rick explained all the details every step of the way, and he worked long hours to finish the job in six days.
Thank you very much Rick! GOD BLESS YOU!

Rick saved the day. I woke up and planned to take a shower like most mornings only to find cold water coming from the shower head. After attempting to relight the pilot on the water heater I found no luck. At 7AM my wife called Rick and asked for help.

Rick was upfront, honest and friendly. By 745 he was at our door seeing how he could help. A couple hours later we had a new, professional grade water heater installed and for less than we had paid for our previous inferior one. The work was done quick and with no mess. Too often I would have to follow up behind previous plumbers cleaning up water and dirty footprints but not Rick.

We will definitely be saving his number and using him for any plumbing jobs around the house.

Our Water Softener went out on us recently and was leaking. Rick came out and was the only guy that said he would take a look at it without charge. The next day or two he made a special trip to pick up our new premium water softener. He did a great job at a fair price. He thoroughly went over the details with us with the new water softener and also bought the salt bags and filled it up himself. We would very highly recommend Rick.
