Bob helped fix our kitchen faucet leak. He was prompt, professional and friendly. I will be using him from now on with any plumbing services in the future!

Bob saved the day. To start, he talked
me through the mistake I made when striking my main water line. Since it was late in the day on the weekend, Bob was able to schedule me the next work day and he fixed the issue. And, he really is a nice guy and knows his stuff! 100% recommended!

Our two year old Navien Tankless hot water heater was recently flashing an error code E445. We contacted Navien about the water heater problem and they referred me to a few local Navien recommended plumbers to help correct the problem. I contacted Bob (Owner/Technician) who was extremely knowledgeable with regards to the problem and was able to come to property to work with Navien on correcting the problem. Not only was Bob (RJB Plumbing) quick to respond, he continued to work through an ongoing issue until was completing resolved. I am extremely happy with RJB Plumbing in all aspects of their work, communication, pricing and follow-through. I highly recommend Bob/RJB Plumbing to anyone who want the job done right.

Updated review: we had RJB Plumbing to fix a leak and it was an amazing experience. Timely communication (he answered on the weekend), quick appointment, fixed the issue quickly and clearly communicated what was wrong, all for a fair price. Even fixed our hot water heater timer that was out of sync. RJB Plumbing will be the first company we call anytime we have plumbing needs.

RJB is a fantastic company. The owner comes out to almost every job and explains everything in a way you can understand. We needed a new tankless hot water tank among a few other things. They gave us a quote right away, emailed it shortly after, and we were on the books a few days later. They were able to accommodate our schedule easily (we needed to book out a few weeks due to visitors coming). The work looks flawless and Bob even set up reminders on the tank and his calendar to remind us for our annual maintenance. They noticed a few things that needed to get changed out that other companies we had gotten a quote from didn't notice which just shows their attention to detail. The pricing was more than fair and we are extremely happy with their work.

We recently received a referral for RJB from one of our neighbors who had a great experience. Bob diagnosed and resolved our issue within a couple of days. He was informative and took pride in his work. I would highly recommend calling RJB for any plumbing needs!

We were referred to RJB plumbing by two separate friends. We had a crack in our washing machine p-trap that was causing water to leak under our washing machine. Bob provided excellent customer service. He had great communication, was on time, super knowledgeable, and extra neat with his work and clean up. He also took the time to explain the problem and gave us tips to prevent future plumbing issues. While he was at our house I asked him about our dishwasher air gap that was been leaking water every time we run our dishwasher. He kindly took a look under the sink, found the problem and within 10 minutes remedied the issue. I wouldn't hesitate to call RJB plumbing for any future needs and I will surely recommend him friends and neighbors.

RJB (Bob) did an excellent job of replacing our Kohler shower valve. He clearly has years of experience including a family history of plumbers. He was efficient but took the time to explain what he was doing. He also did the little things that help prevent issues years later. He was right on time (would have been early if I hadn't missed his call with offer to come sooner). Was easy to schedule. He gave a quote over the phone for a well defined job (I had sent pictures) which was appreciated. Other plumbers require an onsite appraisal with a fee for even simple jobs and then you are basically at their mercy since you've already have sunk costs with them. Highly recommend RJB.

I had an issue with a leaking kitchen faucet. I was able to send him pictures and he told me what was wrong. He fit me into his schedule and fixed it same day. Great service and very nice informative tech. I will be using RJB again for all my plumbing needs.

Amazing job and I'm a happy customer! Our water heater broke and first thing I did was to go to yelp to find someone to fix it. We never had plumbing issues until this incident so a plumber is not on our phone books.

I saw the reliable reviews from RJB plumbing among others. But what stood out was that Bob was the business owner who directly responded and came out to look at the issue. I'd rather have to deal with one person all the way through than a receptionist who sends a random plumber to my house.The other thing is he's open 24/7 and he said I could call him whenever if there's an emergency! That's really reassuring! Also he's in San Marcos, close to where I live.

As for his service, he was patient, knowledgeable and helpful. He responds quickly on Yelp and via text. He came in a very short time to provide us a free estimate and arrived on time the next morning for the heater replacement. He swept the floor, cleaned the area, installed the tank securely, stored away the warranty documents neatly, wore shoe covers in the house - professional! I felt safe to leave him do his own thing, and not having to watch over him. He also charged a very reasonable price. I also wanted to replace the whole shower and arm and he went to Home Depot right away to get it done for me after the heater was finished.

We're very very happy with his work and professionalism. Highly recommended!

Bob came to my house to look at a leaking gas valve on our fireplace. He fixed it for free and was very nice. I look forwarding to using him for other projects in the future.

Bob Burger is a knowledgeable plumber and is a creative problem-solver. I have an old house that had some very funky bathroom sink plumbing that worked for about 30 years then stopped draining. Bob was able to solve my problem and return my sink to functionality, without having to jack-hammer the floor. He was able to go through a couple of walls and tie the drain into the existing drain for my washing machine. His fee was very reasonable, and I already have another project for him to solve.
If you are looking for a great plumber, call RJB Plumbing.

After checking on Yelp Bob came out to give me an estimate. After checking with other plumber I came back to Bob and scheduled repairs on water shutoff valve. I needed a bit more work and he did a great job at a reasonable price. He kept to the original estimate even though he had to replace an additional part.

Excellent job repairing on/off pipe
behind the refrigerator. Bob and
assistant also repaired the pipe in
garage that turns off water to house.
They did a wonderful job on both
areas. They were knowledgeable and
explained the issues to me.
Very happy and satisfied with the job.
Will always call them again.
Clean job and very polite. Price was
within reasonable range.

Chose this company as had great yelp reviews and local to area and small business. Not an emergency but easy to get scheduled, responsive on returning call, on time and able to replace 2 toilets, drain lines 2 baths, washer hoses, 2 shower heads and hot water heater pipe plus check out other concerns in record time same day. Bob and his assistant were upfront, know their business and no up charging like big companies. Received some good plumbing education too! Thanks you guys! 5 star recommendation from me!

I had tried my hand at installing a DIY bidet and managed to cross-thread the part that sticks out from the bottom of the tank. Nothing to do but call a plumber at that point. They were at my place in 5 minutes, fixed the problem and didn't charge me an arm and a leg. Very courteous; nice guys. I will use them for all my future plumbing needs.

Had an amazing experience with RJB Plumbing. He was extremely safe with all COVID protocol which everyone appreciates.

As for the work, he was easy to contact, professional and super responsive.

He was able to service my pressure regulator issue the same day I called. He had all the necessary parts and installed them beautifully.

I would HIGHLY recommend him as he explained everything thoroughly and was very kind.

Images attached!

RJB Plumbing exceeded all of my expectations!

From the simple stuff like being on time and confirming show time to completing a plumbing task with mastery, job perfection and answering all questions.

Bob is at the top of the plumbing game and is the only plumber I would call and / or recommend!

We just went through our first experience with a water leak in our home. After having the water damage mitigation done we reached out to quite a few plumbers to repair leak. Robert was quick to respond and even had availability to come out the same day that I contacted him, unlike a lot of the other companies that I had contacted. Robert came out and immediately located the leak, explained the simple repair and cost, and had the repair complete and tested in less then an hour. Robert is an extremely experienced plumber who was genuine and honest. We felt that his pricing was straightforward and fair. He even offered to speak to our insurance adjuster in regards to the plumbing repair if needed. We're hoping we won't be needing a plumber again anytime soon, but if we do, then we'll definitely be calling Robert.

Thanks again Robert!

What do a bail bondsman and a plumber have in common?

You want them both to answer the phone when you call!

My water heater gave out on Sunday afternoon. I waited until Monday morning to call a plumbing company I had used previously. They didn't answer and I left a message. They didn't call back in what I believed was an appropriate amount of time so I went to Yelp.

I saw the excellent reviews from RJB and liked that they were local. I called the number and got an immediate answer. Bob happened to be available , in my area and was at my house in 15 minutes.

The price he quoted seemed fair and he set about replacing my water heater. He was quick, efficient and had the new water heater installed and functioning in a few hours. He fixed a couple related issues during the install and the finished installation was clean.

Bob gave thorough explanations about operation and maintenance and the warranty.

Could I have waited, shopped around and saved a few dollars? Maybe, but I really needed a shower and I wouldn't be any more satisfied with the service and installation.

I have RJB's number saved in my phone for the next emergency.

Steven P.

8/13/2020

We had an old water heater fail and Bob was able to get out the next day and get us set up with a new one. Real conscientious service and he fully explained the process, equipment and operation.
It is very nice to have someone so professionable, yet personable to get us all set up.
Bob, thank you very much, we love the work and really feel great about the job overall.

I called RJB Plumbing based on reviews, ratings while appliance delivery guys were still at my house saying they could not install our new fridge due to a broken ice maker valve.

I called RJB Plumbing, scheduled a time to come later that afternoon and got a fair quote. To be fair, RJB was the first plumber I called, but I did call others afterwards and got similar quotes.

He asked very descriptive questions upon my call, and also let me know he would be checking the water pressure cautioning me that water pressure adjustment / fixing could be additional.

Robert gave us a few options when he assessed the situation. First of all, yes our water pressure was too high, our regulator was not functioning properly and because our gate valve was so calcified (my husband had had to turn our water off once and also knew our gate valve was iffy at best) how much it would cost to replace.

But he also still gave us the option to do the original repair which would be to repair the valve behind the fridge.

My husband and I discussed, knowing that we had wanted to replace our main water shutoff eventually and get the water pressure under control we opted to get all of it done at one time.

Having Robert over was a great experience, he explained everything that he was doing, gave us very clear tips on maintaining our plumbing.

I've never been so happy about a main water shutoff valve! It's so new and shiny now and we don't have to worry about it falling apart one day !!!

Oh and we were finally able to install the fridge ourselves with our nice new valve!

If you have a plumbing need, PLEASE do yourself a favor and call RJB plumbing. We're sure glad we did!

We finished some remodeling and changed a filtration system to our house, leaving us with an urgent need for a plumber. RJB arrived in the scene and took care of our home - polite, with experience and critical thinking expertise that will get the job done right the very first time. Thank you, RJB, for a perfect customer experience.

Great great service! We had Bob out to install a sink and faucet, as well as check our toilets. He was super courteous, knowledgeable, and provided details on the issues and solutions. I would not hesitate to call him back for our home plumbing needs.

I got recommended to ask RJB for help with a water heater installation. I knew *nothing* about them, what I would need, where to put it, anything. He answered my call, and came over the next morning to take a look for free. He explained different water heaters, how they work, and helped guide me to a solution that worked for my needs. I'm renting, so I can't do major modifications to my property.

He showed me camping water heaters and worked out a deal where if I did my own research, found one I liked, and ran it by him to make sure it would work for me, he would come and install it for his normal hourly rate. Any message I sent him, he got back to me within a few hours, and a couple times when I got confused he called to help me understand.

Once I got my water heater, he came over and installed it, once again walking me through everything and making sure I knew how it worked. I was missing a hose adapter and he had a spare in his van. He even took a look at a shower that was running too cold while he was here, fixed it, and was extremely reasonable with the price.

I loved how thorough, helpful, reasonable, and professional Bob is. I absolutely did not feel like he was trying to upcharge me or BS me with anything. I will be using his services again and recommending him to my friends. Thank you Bob!

My garbage disposal was not spinning and I thought it was broken. I contacted RJB Plumbing to inquire about the replacement cost. RJB was quick to answer all my questions. On appointment date, Robert showed up on time. He took a quick look and determined that it was not broken. The disposal was simply jammed somehow and shut itself off. Robert reset it and it started to work again. I was happy that I did not have to replace it. Better yet, Robert did not charge me a dime. Hats off to him! I know whom I am going to call for any future plumbing repairs!

I called Bob to get an estimate for a water hammer sound and a slow draining tub. I received a call back within short order and was shocked when he said he was finishing a job and could come by within the hour. He took the time to explain my situation and check my water pressure to verify my regulator was working properly. While checking the water pressure he found a small leak in the outside water bib that we were unaware of and repaired it. He offered guidance for a path forward and even offered to take a call from my husband if he had any additional questions.

Bob was professional from start to finish. And I will definitely phone him the next time I have a plumbing problem in my home.

Calling a plumber is never a pleasant thing to do, but we got lucky when we found RJB Plumbing. Started out with no hot water to the kitchen faucet. Turned out to be a defective faucet from a home improvement store when RJB tested to make sure we had hot water coming in through the valve. So while we had RJB in the house, we asked about preventative maintenance projects we wanted to get done. They checked the regulator valve and the pressure was way too high and recommended replacement. We knew we needed a new water heater and with RJB's knowledge of the regulations for water heaters in California, we said yes to having them replace both items. Everything works great now! They installed a new kitchen faucet (hurray for hot water again!), replaced a failing diverter, new trim and shower head in the main bathroom, and installed a new regulator and water heater within a few days of us getting all the new parts for the kitchen and bathroom. Very responsive to texts and sent the quote the same day we requested it. They wore covers for their shoes to protect my hardwood floors and were very neat and took all the trash away. Garage looked cleaner than before they were there! They tested everything and made sure it was all working before they left our home. Bob and Anthony were so nice, explained everything that they needed to do and answered all our questions before and during the project. Thank you RJB for your exceptional work!

Fixed issues with kitchen sink and all the stuff attached to it that 2 other plumbers including one big name somehow could not (!) Also, a new hot water heater of professional make that is not in big box stores--previous plumbers did not bring likely imminent failure of the unit from the year 2004 original installation to my attention despite profit incentive to do so. On-time, exact as to customer needs, 2 intelligent guys.

If you're looking for a great plumber, call RJB plumbing. Bob is trustworth, repsonsive, professional, and takes pride in his work. He took the time to explain everything to us, and did a fantsatic job.

Bob was literally excellent! I had to wait for his service but boy oh boy he was worth it! Super knowledgeable, super friendly and very good at his job! He diagnosed an issue and fixed it in less time than it took me to make a coffee. I would absolutely recommend him and will use his plumbing services exclusively from now on! Thanks Bob, sooo happy we've met you.

Call Bob, you won't regret it!

SO very glad I called RJB when I noticed a leak from my upstairs master bath into downstairs family room ceiling. Bob was methodical and personable....as he went through diagnosing the origin of the leak and then the options to repair....beginning with the least invasive. Fortunately he was able to fix it (leaking shower faucet valve cartridge) without replacement or extensive work! And, I remembered I had a tub faucet problem in the guest bath......he had a replacement in the truck and made quick work of the job.
I have a new plumber for sure! BTW he carefully explains every step of the repair and quotes as he goes....no surprises! Thank you so much, Bob.

I was looking for a local plumber and came across Robert's Yelp page. Figured I couldn't go wrong with all the great reviews. I had a simple problem that he was able to fix right away. He also advised me on how to proceed with the rest of my small project. Best of all he did it free of charge. Glad to have a local, honest plumber in my contact list for any future issues.

J C.

Quick response and thorough explanation for all my questions. I decided to hire Bob after the great care and phone support he provided about inspecting and servicing my tankless water heater. Great communication and knowledge about his work.

Alex E.

Called Bob up, described to him that I wanted to replace my toilets. I live in an older complex in San Marcos that Bob has not worked in before. My work is in downtown San Diego, so I could only have him come on a Saturday (which he only does occasionally, which was awesome he did that for me). After he came and inspected the toilets, he definitely mentioned it was a more unusual set up. He recommended a couple different brands, I chose Toto. He went over pricing and his price is everything baked in (parts, labor, and disposal). One year warranty. Got it done within an hour or two (I only had him do one for now).

I then mentioned another issue, my water pressure. Hated to bother him with this, but while he was here! He knew exactly where to look and found out that my water regulator is shot... Been at my condo for 9 years and I believe it's been like this the whole time... He had the parts on his truck and he stayed to get it done. Took him about another 2 hours or so (more or less).

What I really appreciate, is other plumbers that have came and done work, did not mention the water regulator... Thanks Bob!

Second time we've had Rob out to our house. The first time was to change our water heater, the second to swap out a bad toilet. Both times he was extremely professional, very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. Very respectful of COVID risks on the second visit. We'll be using him again for our future visits.

If you need a plumber he's the one!! We found him on Yelp he replied within minutes, was out to our house in 30minutes. Stayed until after 7pm and figured out we needed a new shower valve and pressure regulator. He said he could be back at 8:30 am on Saturday morning. He was here on time, finished the job and did an amazing job. We have a family friend who is a plumber but he was out of town, he agreed with all the services and said he was being more than honest with the price. Thank you again and if you need a plumber he's the one!!

Hands down best plumbers we've ever experienced!
Arrived at scheduled time, even with a 25 minute heads up text.

They were scheduled to do three jobs for us.

In the meantime, with the water shut off, I figured I'd knock a quick toilet project out myself.
When they saw what I was doing, and that I was probably going to do more damage than good, they politely told me to stop, and showed me how to do it all correctly.

When I mentioned I was planning on flushing my water heater this weekend, Bob spent 10 minutes going over the steps to make sure I knew what to do.

They also wore face masks & booties the entire time.

These guys are top notch, and I highly recommend them for any work you may need.

Just had Bob out to my place for a water main leak. It was between the meter and the house somewhere. The water Dept. alerted us to the high usage, otherwise there was no indication of a leak. I had no idea where to start.

I called Bob, He answered my call immediately, and gave me all the information necessary to get the process started. He worked me into his already busy schedule. He even stayed past dark to get the water service restored to my house.

I can't say enough great things about this company. He is a great plumber, fair and honest. Likely saved me thousands of dollars. You will not be disappointed with RJB Plumbing.

10/05/2020 12:00:00 SA

I love when I can leave a rave review. We had a mini emergency today due to some other work being done and needed a plumber right away. After consulting Yelp I gave a call. Bob picked up right away and was available nearby. No joke, he was here 15 minutes later and charged a very reasonable rate for the work. I won't hesitate to call Bob for any future plumbing jobs.

Rosemary H.

11/01/2021 12:00:00 SA

Highly recommend RJB Plumbing! I called RJB this morning & Bob was able to fit me in his schedule the same day. He not only did a great job fixing a leaky toilet at a reasonable price, but also provided some helpful information/education on what to look for as I plan a bathroom remodel. Overall, a great experience!

If you're scrolling through Yelp looking for a plumber....look no further. Bob is your guy!

We had leak at 6pm in a Sunday. Bob was here 30mins later and stayed until 9:30pm to fix the issue. He came with a mask, was highly professional, ethical and kind.

Our 3 year old kept asking him questions and wanted to know what he was doing. Bob kindly showed him the camera on the scopes and pretended to look for tigers and T-Rex in the pipes. (He didn't find any, thankfully.)

We highly recommend Bob and will definitely be contacting him again for any plumbing needs.

This guy takes so much pride and care in his job!
He is incredibly thoughtful and considerate, and really makes an effort to provide you with a positive experience!
I had an issue with my toilet, it was making this god-awful sound every time we would flush it... it would go on for like a whole minute, this obnoxious screeching sound !
Bobby came in and literally fixed the issue within minutes!
Can not recommend him enough! 10/10

Our home is getting to that age when things need fixing and replacing... we needed two sinks replaced, the innards of our toilet replaced, and a leak in our Roman tub fixed.

My husband told me someone would come out to perform an estimate between two and four pm. Usually, I cringe because this generally turns into 5-6:30 but to my surprise they showed promptly at 3pm- NICE! (Appreciate the punctuality for sure!) they also donned shoe covers which I definitely appreciate for sure. I was given options and explanation of what would need to occur to complete the requested services as well as the assurance that a formal estimate would be also discussed with my husband.
After timely follow up with him, approval to move forward was given and they showed up on time and got everything done within the proposed time. Upon completion, I reviewed the work with Bob which was impeccably done and happily signed the check. They left everything clean and tidy- and ready to use. Professional, reliable, and timely- what more could we ask for? Worth every penny and we now have a GREAT plumber to refer- we really love the fact that this is a small and independently owned business- the pride shows throughout every interaction. Highly recommended!!!

I checked them out on yelp before hiring RJB Plumbing. I couldn't believe how many great reviews they had, so l had to try them out. Well, they are like so many folks said, five stars! Such nice guys, so efficient, and a fair price. What more can one ask for? I live in Oceana, and this is a Mecca for plumbers. If you have plumbing needs, give them a call. They won't disappoint you. By the way, they were my 3rd plumbers. I'm sticking with them!

Bob has been to our house over the past two years to service both emergencies and routine plumbing problems. Most recently he came out to replace two Kohler toilets. In previous service visits he has replaced a water heater, installed a shut-off valve for the refrigerator, replaced an outside hose bib/spigot and repaired a complex valve leak in the Master Shower.

We will continue to use R.J.B. Plumbing/Bob for the following reasons: (a) Quality of his work, (b) Experience & Knowledge, (c) Problem-Solving Abilities, (d) Fair & Honest, (e) His Reputation & Friendly Attitude, and (f) He is Licensed/Certified & Insured.

Bob saved our lives tonight! Its tough to not have water during quarantine, so I was starting freak out when I saw a constant drip coming from our attic crawl space above our garage. Our pipes had a leak so we quickly shut off the water. I called Bob at 5:45 pm tonight based on a recommendation on Next Door. He was at our house within about 30 minutes and he got us all fixed up!! He was great at explaining everything and it was very reasonably priced especially for coming over after hours and so last minute! Thanks Bob - we'll be calling again I'm sure!

I ran into a little problem when I attempted to shut off the water to my home using the gate valve. While it did shut off, the valve seized and would not open. As I like to support owner/operator businesses, I found RJB Plumbing and did a quick review of things here on Yelp.

Bob was very responsive to my call and was able to come the very next morning to replace the valve with a much more reliable ball valve. Additionally, the pressure regulator was making a loud squeaking sound after pressure built up and I've heard that noise for many months but paid no attention to it. Bob conducted a pressure test to ensure things were in order and to my surprise, the regulator valve was bad. Bob explain the valve's purpose, what the pressure should be for my home, and that my water pressure was exceedingly high and could lead to future, more costly repairs such as a burst pipe in the home.

Fortunately, Bob had the regulator available and knocked it out in a flash!

Overall, I can't recommend a more honest, fair, and local plumber than Bob. He also gave some DIY tips on checking the pressure regulator annually and how to properly maintain a safe and reliable home water delivery system.

Folks, if you need plumbing repairs, call Bob at RJB Plumbi

I contacted Bob after trying to get in touch with the usual plumber we use and not getting a response. I then tried another one that was recommended by a neighbor. Again, no response. I checked on Yelp and saw RJB Plumbing and the reviews. I got an immediate response asking what our issue was, and he was out the next day! He replaced all three toilets in our house in about 3 hours, and did an amazing job. Although my husband did most of the interacting, he said Bob walked him through everything he was doing, and educated him on things previously unknown. He also fixed our water main and adjusted the water pressure which was too high.

Overall, very friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, and efficient. Not to mention that we feel the value for 3 brand new toilets and labor was more than reasonable. Bob will no doubt be our go to guy for all our future needs!

Highly recommend! Thanks Bob!

Excellent service and professional. Good communicator. Went over everything carefully, for new water heater, which is a major expense. Install is working fine. Highly recommend. Had used True Plumbing for years but they've grown so much that the owner isn't involved much now. And they lost the request for a bid on my water heater. By the time they figured it out, RJB Plumbing was done installing the water heater. RJB is a small company and you deal with the owner, not a bunch of sub-contracted plumbers like the larger companies, who often try to sell and upgrade you since they partially work on commission. RJB is not like this. So I'm switching from True plumbing to RJB for future needs too.

We feel so so lucky to have found RJB Plumbing. They have been so helpful every time we have needed them. They have been able to fix any issues we have had, and are able to explain everything that caused our issues so that they don't happen again. We feel like we finally found a plumber that we can trust!

Ever get more than expected? I did that just now! Needed a plumber quickly and got Bob early the next day. Not only did he do the job well, he also provided me with what I consider (insider information) about anything that had to do with plumbing. Thinking of having him return to install a full house filter system as well. He will be my go-to-guy for any plumbing issues I may have in the future.

I always prefer a smaller company for personalized service and reasonable prices. They usually can do the job sooner too. Bob was a breath of fresh air in a busy world.

Bob is awesome. I've had a few plumbing repairs at my home in San Marcos and he's been quick to respond, super helpful in explaining what the problems were, and reliable in coming back with the parts and getting the job done. On the most recent call, he drove 30-40 minutes over to look at a leaky faucet, and fixed it in about 5 minutes. Just a really good guy. Highly recommended.

Bob did an excellent job communicating both before and during the service. He explained what he was doing, why he was doing it, and what I could look for on my own in the future. He was very open and honest went the extra mile.

I would not hesitate to call Bob for any of my plumbing needs in the future. Proceed with confidence! You will be very happy with choosing him !

The owner showed up on time, did a thorough assessment, gave us a fair quote, and made all necessary repairs in a timely fashion. We were very pleased with the friendly service.

Just want to tell people to make sure you get 3 or 4 quotes. All plumbers are not the same! I had a situation were the tank was under the 12 year warranty and had to be taken to Home Depot for exchange. Most plumbers did not to bother and doubled the labor cost as did RJB Plumbing. The company I used took out the old tank, returned to Home Depot (for full value), had new tank and materials and out in 15 minutes! They then install it professionally and up to code for over just a little over $600. Be sure to get QUOTES!

I found Bob on Yelp and so glad I did!! He is knowledgeable, honest, responsive and helped us get a filtration system installed just a day after he came out to give us a quote. He was reasonably priced and went out of his way to pick up a system that was in stock so he could take care of us. I can't recommend Bob highly enough and he will be our go to plumber going forward!

RJB- Robert showed up in less than 30 minutes.
Checked things out, picking up parts needed.
Made the repair.
Robert wore a mask, was courteous, polite, quick, and neat.

Honest. On time. Tests water regulator. A very extremely fair price. Bob is a one person shop--and comes from a plumbing family. His work ethic is tops and other companies should strive for. We had singing pipes from the master commode. He came in, analyzed and told me his price. Using master grade replacement parts, got the job done. Nice touches and left the area very, very clean. We will not hesitate in using him again. A local business in North County.

I had a late evening water leak and Bob responded to my call right away and immediately came over and fixed the leak which turned out to be pretty tricky. He was very straightforward, honest and knowledgable. VERY reasonable prices, especially considered that it was later in the evening.

He made a nightmare situation go away fairly painlessly, couldn't ask for anything more!

Bob did a fine job for me. He informed me that my Moen kitchen faucet was guaranteed for life and told me how get the parts I needed from Moen free of charge.
His rates are fair and the quality of his work is perfect.
I will have more work for him in the future.

11/19/2019

I had an excellent experience with RJB plumbing. Bob was super responsive, coming right out to give us a quote. The quote was very fair and he was able to complete all the work we needed in the same morning that we called him. Bob was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I won't hesitate to call him back for any future plumbing needs we have!

Alicia H.

8/31/2020

Absolutely the best service, honest, responsive and reasonably priced. Saved us a huge headache later on down the road. Showed us all the work that was done even behind the walls in the bathroom. I am so happy our neighbors recommended Robert. He is a permanent contact in my phone from now on.

Brandi C.

12/31/2019

Where do I begin??? We are blown away at the utmost professionalism of Bob, he is absolutely the expert in his trade! He explained everything he was doing along the way. He even wore protective shoe coverings upon entry to our house. He was able to asses our issues and correct them within minutes. We will definitely be using his services in the future for all of our plumbing needs. Thank you Bob for an amazing experience!

Susan G.

08/09/2020 12:00:00 SA

Bob is everything I look for in a professional tradesman. He was extremely patient and responsive during the quote process and answered my many questions about installing a new water heater and pressure regulator at my mother's home. He scheduled the job within a reasonable time period, showed up when he said he would be there, did a great installation and left the area where he was working spotless. In addition, he wore a mask and was extremely respectful of the precautions we are taking to keep my 87 year-old mother safe.

I can recommend his service without hesitation and will call him again the next time we need plumbing services.

After purchasing our first house we noticed some plumbing issues that needed to be addressed. A friend referred RJB Plumbing to us. After an estimate request Robert was able to respond within 20 minutes and was able to provide an appointment time that worked with our schedule. Robert was able to fix the issues and provided answers to our questions in a professional yet simple way for us to understand.

Tessa T.

07/06/2020 12:00:00 SA

Our experience with RJB Plumbing was fantastic! Robert replied quickly when I sent my message for a quote. He happened to be in the area and was at our house within 30 minutes and able to fix the broken water valve on the spot so we could get our new fridge installed. He went above and beyond explaining everything to us and was straightforward and detailed. We will be recommending his company to our friends and family and definitely calling him in the future!

Called around a few places, needed last minute service for it was my only day in town. These other companies wanted $150 minimum just to send someone out to inspect regardless if they did anything, or they wanted to charge at emergency rate pricing at 10am on a Saturday.

I contacted this company and Robert was able to squeeze me in happily. He told me that the water pressure shut off valves that Best Buy installers said were broken/leaking were in fact neither of the two. He hooked up the washer machine and demonstrated complete operation without any issues. We went over a few options for the rest of the unit for the future repairs I wanted to do, not once did I feel pressured or rushed, and he was completely honest with the good news and not so good news. Talk about great customer service.

I live over 600 miles away from this area and I am choosing this company to handle all my plumbing concerns for this unit. Having someone who can go in and inspect/inform me/repair with the utmost confidence so I can have peace of mind.....5 starts and will highly recommend.

We highly recommend RJB Plumbing!
If you're looking for a good local plumber with expert service go with RJB Plumbing. We just had a water heater put in and Bob did an excellent job. He's very experienced and answered all of our questions in a way that made sense.
RJB Plumbing had the best prices and really took the time to do the job right. It made us happy to support a local business and we would definitely use them again.

Best referral I've ever been given. Bob is my new forever plumber.
I highly recommend his service. He replaced my hot water heater, and replaced the outside water pressure gauge with all new plumbing.
I thought I needed a new toilet, but he simply rebuilt it for a fraction of the cost.
Bob is extremely knowledgeable and conducts his his business in a very professional manner. Very quick response time. Thank you Bob.

My first sentence has to include Wow. I almost hesitate to let out this secret but Bob and RJB plumbing is probably the best service experience, plumbing or otherwise, that I've ever encountered. I had two sink faucets that I wanted to replace and before even beginning the process Bob sat me down and explained everything that would be required. He also presented cheaper alternatives to replacing the faucet that could have saved me significant dollars! However since I already had the hardware he proceeded as planned. But not only did he install our faucets perfectly, he took time to explain some nuances and preventive measure to make all our plumbing last longer. I am completely committed to having him install my water heater in a couple of months as well. Get RJB plumbing now because he is going to be in large demand once the secret gets out!

Don D.

11/01/2020 12:00:00 SA

Bob answered my call on a Sunday. Just that speaks volumes. He was very professional and asked in detail about the problem and what type of water heater I had. He gave insight and advice on what to do. He was also willing to come down the same day (again Sunday). I really appreciated his advice and expertise and will use him in the future if needed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. Thanks again Bob!

Connie L.

1/16/2020

I contacted RJB via yelp messenger for quote for fixing problem of always having water sitting around the shoe strainer in the bathtub ...Bob took the time to call me and spent a good 20 minutes on the phone to find out more details since it was not easy to identify for sure what causes the problem...he also gave me some good advice as far as what to do...his price is higher than another quote from yelp...however I feel more comfortable and trust Bob...once done with the elimination process and know where the problem is I will for sure contact Bob for an appointment to get it fixed..thank you Bob

Update-Bob came to fix the faucets (replaced the cartridges)...I got the parts (free from Moen if you are the original purchaser..Bob told me about this)..he charged me for the labor only....in the end Bob was alot less expensive than the other company I got quote from...Bob also took time to tighten up loose faucet handles in all the bathrooms..he is very nice and professional

Amanda M.

12/29/2019

My shower faucet broke and after a couple hours of trying to fix it myself I decided to call RJB Plumbing. It was 9pm on a Saturday, but regardless he was at my house within 15 minutes. He thoroughly explained what broke, how he was going to fix it and the flat (very reasonable) charge. I will definitely use RJB plumbing going forward.

Frank V.

12/21/2019

I found RJB plumbing thru searching yelp for a good plumber to replace my water heater. When I scrolled thru all the 5 star rated reviews on his site. I thought I would give him a call. He fit all the descriptions I wanted in a person who was going to do the plumbing work on my house. Honest, reliable, efficient, knowledgeable, takes pride in his work, and the price for his job was reasonably a good value for all the extra work he done. Bob is the man whenever I need more plumbing work done on my house. The bottom line is that he's reliable and trustworthy, and goes above and beyond what you expect from any person working on a job. He also explained everything he was doing as he performed the work, so there's no surprises in the end. I highly recommend RJB plumbing to anyone that needs plumbing work on their house. I don't usually write reviews but Bob deserves mine, and I want more people to know that that there are good plumbers out there like Bob.

Absolutely the best! Bob perfectly addressed an urgent plumbing issue in my home, that required to turn off the main to my home overnight. Bob showed up timely, explained the whole process and affirmed his analysis and cost of the situation as per his estimates from the prior night. Bob fixed the issue as explained and got our water in our home running again. He also seemed very knowledgeable, is very experienced in his field and helped out explain many different aspects in his trade such that any homeowner can be well informed of general maintenance and tips n tricks. I couldn't recommend Bob more, I will definitely be returning to him as a happy customer for any future plumbing related needs.

Julia M.

11/26/2019

What a GREAT human!! After thinking we were going to have to go without heat or a hot shower on a cold winter night RJB saved us!! I was hoping to find a plumber to come out the next morning and he got on FaceTime and helped us right away! We will certainly be using him for any future plumbing issues. Highly recommend!

Dana T.

11/10/2019 12:00:00 SA

Robert was very responsive and was able to get the job done swiftly! We made a same day appointment and the work was completed that same day.

Dave U.

02/06/2021 12:00:00 SA

We were recommended by a friend to contact Bob about a leak in our faucet in our master bathroom. He arrived promptly, wearing a mask and shoe coverings, and diagnosed the problem immediately. Unfortunately, we needed new faucets for both sinks, but luckily it was not an emergency. With his direction, we searched online and discovered through Moen, just what we were looking for. Bob contacted his supplier, found the hardware we had chosen, and was here to install it within a couple of days. His work was outstanding and fairly priced. He even took pride in cleaning up the area before we saw the finished product! Not only is Bob very professional, honest, and knowledgeable, he is personable as well. We are thrilled that we found him and couldn't recommend him more highly.

Joe M.

02/04/2021 12:00:00 SA

Bob was professional in all aspects of the job he did for us. He replaced the bathroom sink fixtures, a toilet as well as angle stop replacement and a shower fixture upgrade for different bathroom. He is responsive and provides photos of problem areas to allow a better understanding of problems. Any increases in original estimate were explained and we were provided options. He did what he said he'd do, when scheduled and completed them to our full satisfaction. You might find cheaper but for an excellent value, Bob is the ticket. Definitely will use him again. Does NOT clean drains.

J V.

1/20/2020

Definitely our go to plumbing company! Bob was extremely informative, helpful, reassuring, positive, knowledgeable, and did I mention he saved the day when it came to our faulty water heater?! Please, do yourself a favor and call RJB plumbing ASAP! Thanks for the great work, Bob!

Tanya R.

01/09/2020 12:00:00 SA

My husband had contacted Bob on very short notice to see if we could get the toilet in our upstairs bathroom repiared. Upon arrival he gave us a very fair quote on the expected repairs and also advised us about the additional costs based upon the condition of the flange on said toilet ,prior to the work even being started. Once we made the decision to get a new toilet Bob picked it up for us because we do not have vehicles to grab it. Once he was here, he was very respectable, wiped his feet before he entered and kept our bathroom very clean while he was working. He was so great that we called him later in the week to install our other toilet. I would highly recommend every time, 5 stars all the way.

We needed our kitchen faucet replaced (along with a repair to the air gap and disposal button mount) and RJB Plumbing was available on weekends so we booked for first thing Saturday morning. Bob (the owner) came out and checked out the set-up, gave me a very reasonable quote and started working. First thing he finds is a improperly capped water line (fixed it free of charge) and then walked me through the steps to complete the repairs. He's a very knowledgeable plumber and suggested easy maintenance for the lines and valves he worked on. The job was done in an hour and the work is beautiful. Nicest guy, very professional and an expert at plumbing and customer service. Highly recommended.

Dave M.

05/02/2020 12:00:00 SA

I was in the process of selling my home in San Marcos and a water heater needed to be replaced. I started by searching yelp for the highest reviews in the area and came across RJB Plumbing. Bob was by far and away the most service oriented, diligent and courteous professional we came across. His communication was excellent and kept me informed throughout the whole process, which included sending photos with detailed notes and an invoice upon completion. I have also requested his help for another property and he has gone above and beyond to ensure that the leak is getting taken care of. I would highly recommend hiring Bob and RJB for anything plumbing related. Thank you Bob!

Aida C.

12/10/2020 12:00:00 SA

I called RJB plumbing last night, with broken garbage disposal problem, panicked since we could not use kitchen sink any more. Robert found time and came this morning to take a look. He fixed our disposal in 5 minutes and refused to take any money for his work. He said it was not a big deal and he was glad to help. I am truly amazed that such honest business exists in our neighborhood. I would highly recommend Robert and his RJB Pluming business. We have found our plumber for life!

Willie B.

Lia A.

12/05/2020 12:00:00 SA

Trust to me is the most valuable commodity and Bob has earned mine. Not only did he show up on time to replace some water/toilet valves, he let us know what he was doing and why. He also advised us of preventative maintenance we can easily do to keep them in good working order. That is the first time a home/repair professional has ever taken the time to do so. We highly recommend Bob and will use him exclusively in the future.

Shea M.

08/03/2020 12:00:00 SA

Awesome customer service! We had a leak from the upstairs bathroom dripping into the downstairs living room. Bob came out quickly, was able to assess the issue and fix the toilet. He then went above and beyond to put us in contact with a reliable leak restoration company to fix the drywall in the ceiling. We will definitely be calling him in the future.

Holly A.

11/17/2020

Reached out on Yelp for a plumber and Bob was very responsive. He was clear with price and was able to come quickly. Everything was scheduled through text which I love. He was on time, friendly, and very efficient. So happy I have a reliable plumber now if/when needed in the future. Highly recommend!

Denise J.

07/07/2020 12:00:00 SA

We had our hot water heater and 2 toilets replaced and we couldn't be happier with the service! 5 stars aren't enough to positively rate this company! He took the time to educate us about products and how they function and made sure we knew how to operate what we have. We have never had a plumber be so clean and honor our home in the way he did. I usually have to come behind contractors and clean....not this time! :) RJB is now our plumber for life!!!

Hoa L.

10/21/2020

We had Robert fix our whole-house hot water recirculation system - which has never worked properly. He explained what the problem was, how it could be fixed, and he did NOT try to sell us anything, which most plumbers do! He worked a little late to finish the job (he said his wife would understand) and did it very well at a good price. It is wonderful to find a plumber who can trust and who can actually do plumbing work - rather than just install new plumbing fittings. You need look nowhere else.

Bob L.

6/18/2020

Needed to get some slow drains corrected and a bathroom sink drain pipe resealed. Bob was very responsive and scheduled to come over the same morning. The work he performed was clean, efficient and the pricing was very good. I'd highly recommend Bob and R.J.B for any plumbing needs. Very nice guy as well.

Lina Z.

9/29/2020

This is an update review - and another 5 star. I could give 10 stars if Yelp allows. Our faucet has a small issue which is not very urgent, but Bob still came at his earliest convenience, and replaced the part with no cost. We really appreciate his help!

Sweta I.

12/03/2019 12:00:00 SA

After realizing I had no hot water in one shower when I was caregiving for my older sister who was handicapped and unable to climb stairs, I called my usual plumber that I had used in the past. I'm still waiting for a return call two weeks later actually. Thank goodness I found Bob from RJB as a recommendation on Nextdoor! He was at my door literally an hour later and determined the problem and went above and beyond to get the parts needed to correct the problem. He also took care of 2 other items that needed attention. Bob is kind, professional, honest and a delight to work with. He's going to be my go-to plumber from now on.

He came out after 8pm on a Saturday to remove the old water heater to ensure there would be no more damage. He showed up bright and early Monday morning to install the new heater. He was careful, neat and patient as he explained everything and answered all my questions. He was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely call on him with any plumbing issues.

My husband was in the midst of a job at home and needed a plumber to solve a problem he was having. He called a couple larger companies first...I am sure you have seen their commercials on TV. We are so glad that they were not available to come! He called RJB Plumbing and spoke to Robert (Bob) the owner and he was at our house within an hour-impressive on any day but this was a Sunday afternoon! He quickly identified the issue and was able to fix it for us. He also gave us advice on another plumbing job we will have him back to do. He was knowledgeable, thorough, clean, and his prices were very reasonable. We have lived in San Marcos for 4 years now and we are relieved to know that RJB is now our plumber. I'm sure he is not always available right away as he was today but his expertise and customer service is worth waiting for! We highly recommend RJB Plumbing!

Cris B.

11/25/2019

RJB Plumbing was called to repair a problem with a shower valve. Robert (owner)came out the same day to replace the valve. Robert discovered the water pressure regulator was not working correctly and the water pressure was much too high. He suggested the water shut off should also be replaced. Robert fixed all three problems easily and I was very happy with his work. The rate charged for the three repairs was very reasonable. I will not hesitate to call RJB Plumbing for any future plumbing issues.

Julia D.

1/31/2020

Bob at RJB plumbing was fantastic! He made a stressful situation way less stressful for us. He was available to help us right away and his quote was cheaper than others. He was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and hardworking. We had a great experience and will definitely go back if we have plumbing issues in the future. This is the kind of small business owner that you feel good about using!

We are very happy we called RJB Plumbing to help us with our broken shut off valve for our washing machine. Bob, the owner, answered the first time I called and was able to come out the next morning. Bobs knowledge of plumbing shows as soon as he starts talking to you. He was very thorough in his explanation of what needed to be done. He not only fixed our broken valve, but he took the time to give us some tips on how to avoid the problem in the future and tips on how to avoid some other issues in our laundry room. To top off the great experience, he left our laundry room looking better than it did before he got in there. I will use RJB plumbing for all my future plumbing needs and will not hesitate to recommend them to any friends or neighbors.

I had a drip inside bathroom wall that I could hear but not see. I went in the overhead, found where the leak was, and asked for estimates. RJB PLUMBING responded quickly, not the first, but the second. I reviewed the information about the four companies who were asked to give estimates. I chose RJB PLUMBING. Again he responded quickly. I set an appointment. And he called me on my phone to assure me when he would be arriving. He looked at the leak and gave me an estimate for just the leak in place. He also looked at my water pressure and the condition of my shut off valve and pressure regulator. Both the shut off valve and pressure regulator have needed to be replaced for sometime and I knew it. He gave me an estimate for all the work.I gave him the go ahead and he immediately started working on it. He explained to me what he intended to do and as he did it he worked efficiently. Everything was right the first time. He told me later he's a fourth-generation plumber. I was happy I got somebody who knew what to do and did it right the first time.

Bob is an excellent plumber -- very professional and honest. He charges very reasonably, was on time, and did a wonderful job fixing a leak on our property. Bob is a professional that I will certainly call for all my plumbing needs in the future.

I had a foreign valve system and he was willing to tackle the job. Other plumbers just wanted to replace the valve. He is easy to work with and offers great customer service.

Bob promptly came over within a couple hours of being contacted to fix a leaky shower of ours - he was very professional and explained everything he was doing to fix the issue. I would highly recommend Bob for any plumbing issues/projects you have. Having recently moved to the area, Bob will be my go to guy for any plumbing help I need going forward.

R.J.B Plumbing is our go to business for all plumbing needs. Bob has been there for us from the first day we bought our old house. Knowing Bob has thoroughly checked our main house pipes, pool pipes and appliance plumbing hookups has left us at ease. His knowledge of all things plumbing is very detailed and expansive. He recently helped me upgrade my hot water heater by installing an expansion tank and explained everything he was doing step by step. Not only does he take the time to explain the work he is doing, he listens to your needs and answers all of your questions in a very easy to understand way. He also installed an amazing outdoor hot and cold shower next to our pool. We definitely recommend Bob with the highest rating and will be using him for future projects.

Grest response time for me. Had Rob move a gas pipe which he did on the spot. He did a great job and the price was reasonable. I would not hesitate to call him out again for another job. Thanks!

I am so pleased with the service from RJB plumbing! I had a leak through the wall into the garage at my rental property, and Bob was able to get in the wall, figure it out and fix it pretty quickly, and for a reasonable price. He also replaced hose bibs, toilet rings and shower faucets and fixtures at two of my properties. Not only is he quick and thorough with the simple stuff, but he also really knows his stuff when it comes to more difficult tasks. Besides the leak of unknown source in the wall, one of the shower fixtures was problematic due to a broken piece from shoddy work by a prior plumber, and from calcification build up. I was lucky to have a good plumber like Bob handle it and make it right. I've dealt with plumbers for years at rental properties, and he's the best I've seen. He owns the company, so you deal directly with him. He's on time, gives good estimates, keeps you updated every step of the way, and really cares about the work. Besides all that, he's a really nice guy! Just call him. You will not be disappointed!

My husband tried to change the cartridge in our shower since we had been experiencing a leak. Needless to say it didn't go as planned and a piece broke off. Thankfully we called Bob at RJB Plumbing and he was able to come out in less than 30 minutes. He was hardworking, friendly and went to work fixing and replacing what my husband broke. I had a myriad of questions and he was very patient and kind answering all of my questions. I highly recommend Bob at RJB plumbing. He will get the job done in a timely manner and at a great price!!

I called Bob because we were having an issue with our downstairs toilet. Bob arrived right on time, diagnosed the problem quickly and answered all of our questions. Bob and his brother were both very courteous, they even wore shoe covers. We appreciated Bobs professionalism and his fair prices! We will definitely contact Bob again for any plumbing issues in the future.

Bob answered the phone right away and was very responsive. He gave me a three hour window just 45 minutes from when I called on a Saturday morning far exceeding my expected wait time. This was after calling two well reviewed plumbers from Yelp and Next door trying to get someone in today. They did not get my business because one never called me back the other had no appointments until next week.

I liked the fact Bob is licensed/bonded and comes as a 4th generation plumber and I decided to trust my intuition and let Bob try to diagnose my low pressure issue. What I find great, is he tells you ahead of time what he will do to find the issue. Then he shows you the results. He explains clearly the plumbing coming into your home and where the low pressure could be coming from. The main issue ended up being my pressure regulator which he replaced along with a new ball valve for easy water shut off. Before he started he said If you don't choose him its fine, this is my free diagnoses and estimate, no hard feelings if you choose not to use me . I decided to let him do the repair based on the vibe I felt, he added the new connections too instead of just using the old ones. He's enjoyable to converse with and I learned a lot about Plumbing as he freely talks with you about it as he works.

The price was fair IMO for such plumbing expertise, the fittings he put on make it easy in the future for me to replace the pressure regulator myself, with confidence as well as testing it and adjusting it. He used a full metal version that is higher quality than the plastic one I had. Also, the nice new ball valve has a bright Yellow handle to turn off the house water again with confidence for my entire family. If you are looking for a plumber with lots of personal experience, building his own new business and backed by learning from the best. Bob is well worth your consideration. I will call him back if ever I have plumbing needs he stands behind his work with a 1 year parts and labor warranty.

Bob recently installed a water heater in our house along with replacing valves. He gave us a very fair quote. He was able to get everything all done. After installing the water heater, he explained how things worked and what to do in an emergency. We plan on having other things done and will be going with Bob in the future. We would highly recommend him. Thank you Bob.

Just had the absolute pleasure of having Bob replace my water heater. Water heater went out on Sunday morning. I have a home warranty service and after a day and a half of frustration and the soonest appointment of Friday (have an 11 month old in the house) they allowed me to find my own plumber and they would reimburse me after the work was completed. Thank God they did, called Bob after trying several other local companies (none of witch would work with the requirements of the warranty company that would allow for me to get reimbursed). Bob had no problem working with the warranty company to help me out. He came out Monday night to give me a quote (required by warranty), called the warranty company with the quote to get approval and I'm sure delt with a lot of there BS. Came out Tuesday just after noon with everything need to fully replace my heater and water regulator (he tested Monday night and showed me on his gauge that I had a water hammer in my system that would cause more problems in the future). Removed the old heater and replace it with the new one even replaced my ball valve because it was looking a little old and corroded. Showed me how to maintain my new regulator and water heater to make sure they last me for many many many years to come. I can't thank him enough for coming through. Great person and amazing plummer. Definitely saved his information in my phone for the next time I'm in need or anyone I know is in need, he will be the first person I recommend to anyone!!!
