RMB Plumbing Services

We initially called RMB Plumbing for what we thought would be a simple faucet replacement which we was causing a minor leak. After Ray checked out the sink and pipes, he discovered more issues. We do live in an older property and the I believe the piping is original (mid-90s). I'm grateful that Ray was able to assess the issue and ended up replacing the pipes entirely (along with the faucet). I appreciate that he also explained to my husband what the issues were and why the work needed to be done. I'm already planning our next project with Ray (master bedroom sinks & replacing all our old toilets)!

*Also, it's worth mentioning I have 3 dogs in the house and he had no issues getting to know them

Ray and Jose are a great team!  Ray and I had quick and efficient communications during his pre-visit interaction.  He thoroughly assessed the situation and discussed necessary work, then quickly addressed the problem (copper pipe fitting leak under the house).  

On a previous plumbing issue I had a month ago.  It took me trying to get 4 other plumbers to help me.  I arrived at RMB Plumbing (Ray) who actually showed up!!  Ray was professional, straight forward, problem/solution focused, fair, responsive.  I ended up not needing that work performed, but Ray was my first/only call for my leak issues and I am so glad to have Ray be available to help.

Excellent service. Fast response, on time. Very friendly. Good work fixed leak.

Quality work, friendly and affordable. It was a pleasure talking with both of them while they were working.
They added a bypass and replaced a whole house water softener, snaked and acid flushed the drains.
Everything is flowing and working perfectly now.

Excellent plumbing service! Technicians or plumbers are very experienced and friendly, especially Ray!

We were doing a remodel and wanted to replace our water pipes and add a gas line for our stove. Ray and his crew did a remarkable job and the price was right. We had gotten a few other quotes and most seem to be on the high end. Ray and his crew were able to work side by side with our contractor without any issues. The thing we liked most was that he was able to thoroughly explain the process and how long it would take to complete the job.

Shower had low pressure. Called RMB, because of all the high ratings and availability on Sundays. Spoke to Ray (owner?)...did not provide a quote but I didn't ask.
Ray-informed me that he was going to send someone, between 10am-12pm. He's assistant (Jose), arrived by 12:30pm. Did not receive any notification of late arrival.
Jose-checked water pressure and basically needed to be cleaned and adjusted. Took about 5minutes
Was told that the charge for a Sunday visit was $200.00, guessing that it's a flat rate, for a non-emergency call.
Will probably use them again, when I start remodeling my bathrooms but will make sure I ask for a quote.

Came out when they promised and figured out the problem quickly. Nice to my dog, too! Thank you for the friendly, efficient service.

I noticed a leak in my first floor ceiling and got worried. We poked around and a gush of water came out. It was a weekend so I knew no one would come out. I called Ray and he gave me some directions on how to keep things at bay until he could come out. When he did come to take a look, he was on time and super nice. He put my mind at ease and we'll be working on the repairs. It's a bigger job than I anticipated but I feel comfortable working with Ray.

Raymond is such a considerate plumber. He talked my husband through the replacement of the hose within the kitchen faucet. Raymond helped us save the cost of having him or one of his plumbers come do the work themselves. He is generous. A true plumbing expert! We have called upon his services a number of times and he is fair in his cost and the work product is outstanding. He's just awesome!

Ray is fantastic!! My old water softener died and needed to be replaced. Ray was quick to respond and accommodate my schedule. When he arrived, we learned that the water softener that had been delivered had a crack in the cover. No problem for Ray...he took it back to Home Depot to exchange for another one. Then he found the correct installation solution (the original had not been installed correctly), did some re-plumbing, and I was up and running that day. In addition to being an amazing plumber, Ray is also a really great guy. I highly, highly recommend RMB Plumbing.

Ray is a great plumber and takes pride at his work. He is meticulous and thorough. My spare bathroom needed a new shower and faucet combo. Ray came through and did a great job. I am also thankful for Jose.

Ray is a disappearing breed of plumbers.  He takes great pride is doing the job right the first time for a fair price.  I've used him a couple of times working on our corroded fixtures and pipes.  He doesn't give up, and finds the right way to fix the problem.  I'd use him for any plumbing problem.

Ray was extremely responsive. He came by to do a job that required cutting to into drywall to replace a part.  He arrived with another person who he appeared to be teaching. From his interactions with his partner, it was clear Ray is extremely knowledgable about plumbing. I was very happy with the work they did. We would call him again for any plumbing issue or even a bathroom remodel.

Thank-you Ray for another great job. I have used Ray a few times over the years when trouble arises. He always stretches himself to get you taken care of as quickly as possible. He is great at his craft. Very trustworthy and a super solid guy you like to have in your house. I highly recommend him.

Ray is my hero! He's helped me out on more than one occasion and I know I can count on him to respond quickly, handle all the issues thoroughly, and have the best pricing.

This time it was the hot water heater. Came home late at night to a minor flood in the garage. Contacted RMB Plumbing and Ray diagnosed the issue over the phone. Came out the next day on time and ready to rumble. The big man gets things done wothout taking any shortcuts and performs high quality work. No project is too big or too small for this talented and lovable man. Thank you Ray. I'll never call another plumber, and you have my highest recommendation. Cheers!

Ray Brown and crew have done many jobs at our home. We love his responsiveness and quality of the work. He and his team tackled some very tough jobs under the house including a cracked Y connection and leaking sink drain that required a new clean out.
His team also fixed an incorrectly routed water main that required cutting galvanized old pipe.
Today RMB Plumbing came out within one day of our call to snake out a clogged washing machine / softener drain.
Next week RMB will use a jet technique to clean all of our home's drains.
Following that, we plan to select RMB Plumbing with remodeling two bathrooms.
And most of all, Ray puts up with my constant kidding. :)

Ray Brown has been my plumber for almost 10 years.  He takes no shortcuts and does a really nice job.  Ray Brown always comes through in an emergency.  Give Ray Brown a call if you are having plumbing issues.

I highly recommend RMB Plumbing.  I had a great experience.

Ray and his crew came out when I was in a real pinch and I needed a water heater quickly.

He happily came out and installed my water heater.  The job was not a standard installation so RMB had to come out several times.  RMB Plumbing stayed late until the job was complete.  He was very thorough and went above and beyond to make sure my family and I had hot water.

Ray always answered the phone when I called and his pricing was very fair without sacrificing quality.
Ray and his team very very polite and cleaned up the site when they left.  

Give them a shot.

Ray is really great at what he is doing. He has  high work ethic and deliver the best quality job .  He is very honest and friendly. If you want a great plumber who you can trust  and rely on , call Ray.

Almost 10 years ago my husband and I bought a short-sale that needed quite a bit of work. In that time we have slowly but surely been upgrading the house.

And here enters Ray and RMB Plumbing Services. Ray and his crew have done small and large projects for us. He always walks us through the process, explains the pros and cons of different fixes, and he makes it work within our budget.

He just recently redid the bathroom drains --original to a 1960's house! Ray and his crew did it quickly and efficiently and we are very happy with his work.

Our next plumbing adventure will be a remodel and re-piping. Ray knows were are saving up to bring him in to do what he loves best, giving great friendly service.

I asked Ray to come by to give me a quote for running a line to the far side of my house and put in a hose bib for watering plants in that area. He came with his worker who crawled under my house to determine the extent of the job. Together they evaluated the job and what materials they would need. Ray gave me a very reasonable price and we set a date when they would do the work. They came the morning of the job and went right to work. Several hours later they had completed the job and packed up their tools to head off to the next job. Ray and Jose even installed insulation over the main lines under the house to deaden the noise while they were under there.
All in all, it was an A+++ job!
We couldn't be happier. Ray and Jose answered any questions I had from start to finish. Ray is honest, hard working, and I wouldn't hesitate to call him for the next plumbing job I have.  
I highly recommend RMB Plumbing!!

I have worked with Ray on job sites for many years now. I can always count on him to get the job done right. That is rare these days as many in the trades know. I have not had any complaints from my customers about his workmanship and attitude, most find him easy to get along with and great sense of humor. We recommend him and we still continue to use him to this day.

Update from previous review: I am grateful to Mr. Brown, and this update is because of Mr. Brown's prompt - I'd say immediate - response, re-work and dilligence. Mr. Brown came over the same day I contacted him (11-17-20), per my general contractor's and inspector's instructions, and worked close to 8 pm with my contractor to work on what the SJ City Inspector instructed us to do. I understand he worked well with Mr. Kim, and put forth a lot of effort.  He had given me a 1 year warranty of work when RMB installed my new water heater tank back in July 2020.   I was required by SJ City to pull a permit for my water heater tank replacement.  I did not know that before, but since I obtained the permit, I had an inspection 11-17-20 with the Permits Dept. Inspector Supervisor. My contractor's rep, GM, Mr. Kim was present also. The inspector gave us instructions about what needs to be redone/fixed etc. related to the water heater tank. I texted a thank you to Mr. Brown, and I wish him/his company/his crew well. With this review, I would definitely recommend Mr. Brown/RMB Plumbing. I believe now that he would go the extra mile for you/his clients. Thank you Mr. Brown.

Got Ray through the realtor selling the house. He was able to come out very quickly to replace a water heater that would not pass inspection. Very friendly and informative. He has over 20 years experience and he is the one who comes and does the work. He does not sub it out like some other companies I have used.

This company cares! i have used this company several times. Once you find a reputable company, you stick with them! This week I contacted RMB Plumbling to come in and install new faucets in our daughters double sink. I received immediate support to have the faucet installed! Owner and operator Ray was kind and so professional. Years ago he came to our home to replace the guest bath toilet, he did such a great job, we asked him to replace the master bath toilet too. He was very knowledgeable and honest. At some point, we scheduled him to return and replace our kitchen sink as well. He also checked our pipes that run from the washer and dryer. It's hard to find good professional companies. I've had my water heater over 20 years and have RMB Plumbing on stand by when it needs to be replaced! I know we will be in good hands! I have recommended this company whenever anyone asks for a plumber. You will be in good hands!
