We have a home in Lakewood that was built in 1950--Chris is amazing with the repairs we have needed. He is on time, quick and neat--I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I love Robinett plumbing. I've had 5 different plumbers and this family is my FAVORITE. Their work lasts longer than anyone else's, they are fast, super clean, polite and fair priced. And they've never tried to sell me anything I don't need. You are safe and well cared for with this family.

I live in a +100 year old home and phoned Robinett Plumbing this morning to set up an appointment to replace a leaking faucet. First of all, THEY ANSWERED THEIR PHONE. It's a shame that this one little thing is such a big deal these days, but it really is. I was able to set up a same-day appointment with Cris, who then showed up ON TIME. Cris and Curtis took the time to explain to me why I was having a problem with the faucet, they completely repaired the problem, cleaned up after themselves, and took care of my home while working in it. I completely trust Cris and the work he did for me today and won't hesitate to call Robinett Plumbing the next time I need them. I just wish I had more work for Cris to do for me around here!

The first time Chris came to my home, he charged me for an hour and a half when he was only in my home for 40 minutes, and the worst part was that the plumbing problem was not properly fixed. That day he said he found another problem and would return. When he returned the next time, he didn't have the necessary equipment for the job, so he went to go get it, and charged me for that time! After he was done, he didn't pick up any of the junk that was clogging the pipes, just left it out in my front yard! I asked him for receipts of the plumbing parts he bought, and I asked him to leave me the old parts, but he neither gave me receipts nor left me my old parts. I have been trying to get a hold of him because the plumbing problem has persisted, and he now doesn't answer my calls. In total, he charged me $750 dollars for about 3 and a half hours worth of work, and my problem is still not fixed.

I can't say enough about these guys. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional, affordable.
We have a pretty old house, lots of plumbing quirks-- they can fix it all. They take their time looking at the problem with you and discuss options.
This time we had a mystery leak. Chris walked through all of our suspects with us, checking them off as we went. Definitely not the water heater... etc.
While we were investigating mystery leak, we also discussed water polo and lacrosse, high school and coaches. All without missing a beat in the investigation. And while that isn't the primary reason for the review, it does help ease the anxiety caused by mystery plumbing problems.
These guys are fantastic. Good plumbers, good prices, good guys.
Thanks again, Chris.

Dude came and semi fixed the problem, said he needed to ordEr the parts and we never heard from him again. This certainly is no way to run a business.

We've worked with Robinett for a few years and Cris and Curtis are beyond amazing--kind, ethical, they know EVERYTHING about Long Beach residences and never do work that's not required--and also do things we never even knew needed to be done (that would have caused huge issues and money later). They are also the most generous and kind humans who end up giving you a place to buy a plant or a recommendation for a car painter; they exemplify family business and generally being excellent professionals with good hearts. Recently they addressed an immediate issue with 15 minutes notice and came right away. It's rare to find excellent and knowledgeable professionals who also care about their work and the people/homes they work with--you'd be lucky to have them around!

I am glad that Robinett Plumbing is on Yelp so that I add comments about the great work Cris has done for me over the years. He has repiped my house with copper plumbing, installed faucets, put in a water line to my frig, fixed my floor heater, put in a gas line to my fireplace and cleaned my drains.
Cris does a great job of protecting the area from dirt etc. as he works, and always cleans up after.
5 Stars, two thumbs up, whatever, he does a great job and I most certainly recommend him.

I had these guys replace a portion of an old, leaky drain and vent pipe that was underneath my 75 year old Long Beach home. They were in, under, and out in about two hours. The price was reasonable. I will use them again.

Of all the plumbers that came out saying we needed to remove tiles or go through the wall, Chris and Curtis came out and alleviated our pressure issues without doing any of that. I'm difficult to please and as soon as I saw real water pressure coming from our faucets I almost started a riot! These are the people to call when you have plumbing issues!

The Robinett family lives on our street and we go to them for all out plumbing needs. Honest, reliable, and fair prices. We have had no go backs once they have done the work. Good quality!

I'm a renter and my kitchen drain broke (non emergency) and these guys (Chris and Curtis) were here next day. They were in and out in less than 30 minutes and had completely fixed the problem. Clean, courteous, professional, and effective. Thank you!

The best, reliable and honest plumbers in town. From dishwasher install to clogged sewage lines they have done it all. The only plumber I will call.

Curtis and Chris were fantastic. I am a Realtor with Re/Max and had a listing with one week to go in escrow. I desperately needed a pipe to be installed on the water heater. They showed up after 5 PM and were booked up. After hearing our dilemma, they decided to do the job right there. The price they charged for an emergency call was very reasonable. I will call them for future needs for sure.

I would highly recommend Robinett Plumbing. Chris has much experience and does the job right the first time. No re-dos. He made sure he came with the right tools and equipment and gave excellent maintenance advice.

Robinette is a multigenerational business that's been in the area for years. I wasn't aware of that until I met them fit the first time. They showed up on time, thanked me for meeting them there (an investment property), wore masks and were very polite. I had an old floor furnace that the local gas company tagged as unsafe. They immediately got to work, one person worked from the too of the furnace and one went into the crawl space below. They were able to raise the pilot, secure it and replace an old gas flex hose that had multiple connections. The thermostat also needed to be replaced. They went the extra mile and installed a plate behind the new thermostat to cover any wall exposure due to the difference between the old and new thermostats. They left the apartment clean. After spending well over an hour on the job, their price was very reasonable.

I highly recommend Robinette Plumbing and will be using them again in the future.

I wish that there were more than 5 stars for the rating. Robinett Plumbing came out to fix a leaky faucet and cured the pipes banging when turned on. Chris is a local family owned business that knows the meaning of service.

Highly recommend them!!

I had a good experience with Robinett plumbing. Cris and Curtis work quickly and efficiently. I chose them because they're a family business that's been around for decades, and they specialize in old plumbing. My house was built in 1928, so it has many kinds of antiquated pipes. I am not an expert in plumbing costs, but their quote seemed reasonable and I was happy to pay it.

Cris and Curtis truly are the old plumbing experts, but they will also take care of your contemporary plumbing installations with the same exacting care and knowledge. Always recommended for friendly professional service!

First time customer and I will only use Robinett Plumbing from now on! They are extremely professional, clean, and thorough! There is pride in their craftsmanship and the end product is the proof. I received the recommendation from my Parents and the many neighbors that were extremely pleased.
