Best Businesses in California

This has been about the most efficient, hassle-free, and pleasant experience I have ever had getting a big job done. I spoke with George who set the appointment up after I sent him pictures of our very old and cobbwebbed water heater, he set it up for the next day at 10 am, and Rishon and John arrived to install it fifteen minutes early, and was done in an hour. The price was also less than half of their brand name competitor who I am so glad we didn't waste our time with. Bookmark this business. You won't regret it.

Jose from Real Plumbers fixed the stoppage in our shower after two other plumbing companies failed to open the clog
They were prompt, friendly and effective.  They are now my first choice for plumbing problems in the future.

I hired the company to connect two sinks after having new countertops installed.  The person on the phone was very nice and clear about the time and rate and the plumber came on time (on a weekend).  Generally, the job was good.  A few issues arose: the plumber dropped a nut which fell through the floor and he didn't have another so I had to go out a buy a new filtered water faucet (at around $25, no big deal).  After the job was completed, the plumber went to his truck to write up the bill.  15 minutes passed and I went out to find him talking on the phone which he continued to do for another 5 minutes and then charged me for the whole 20 minutes (at the elevated weekend rate).  These two would have been forgiven except that a month or so later, there was a leak and my tenant called a plumber who spent a few hours correctly connecting the disposal.  I called the company and complained and they credited me for an hour.  I'd probably use them again, but wasn't the best experience.

Today was the first time in a year I didn't wait by my washing machine during the drain cycle. I actually forgot to listen to it draining. Three times this year between January and September I called a local plumber to fix the back-up in my drain. Three times it was fixed but the fix didn't last longer than 4 months. That is why I waited to write my critique of Max and A-1 Rooter and Plumbing. I wanted to know that the fix actually lasted.

My drain system usually waits for a weekend, holiday or both to back up. So when it backed up on a Saturday in September, I called the local plumber. Fortunately, he was unavailable. Why, fortunately? Because I could not wait for the local plumber and started looking through Yelp for another plumber and found Max. He was able to come out immediately and I told him what the other plumber did. I was taken aback when he did something different. He looked around the properity, located  the sewer drain, opened it up and found about two feet of tree roots from a tree that no longer existed.

I am so happy. The drain is fixed and it cost less than even one visit from the former plumber.

Home warranty company denied handling a water heater malfunction, stating it just needed cleaning. Called flood brothers to go out of pocket for the cleaning. David arrived on time and professionally reviewed the water heater in detail. He opened up the panel and found the broken part and said it should be covered under warranty and the unit possibly replaced - it wasn't in need of cleaning. He took pictures and gave me a detailed description of the issue to relay to the home warranty company. The home warranty company has already agreed to reassess and address thanks to David. While he was here, I on the spot requested estimates for other work and he was right on it. Punctual, forthright and knowledgeable. Thanks!

Charlie's Rooter Service unclogged my mother's kitchen sink drain (old house/plumbing).  They were prompt and professional.  We are completely satisfied and highly recommend them.

This is my second time using this service.
The main pipe going to my apartment was clogged under the ground.  Tree roots were overgrown and clogged the pipe.
It was an urgent matter.
I called Alberto and left a message on a Sunday around dinner time.  
He returned my call quickly and sent out one of his plumbers who arrived 30 min later.  It was fixed in an hour  
Thanks for helping :)

Amazing 5-star service! Darcy schedules for Warren and was responsive and super kind! Warren is kind, reliable, and goes above and beyond! I was having new floors installed and needed a plumber with short notice due to my installer. Darcy was so kind when we emailed about an estimate and about availability. Warren was on time and even greeted and pet my dog! You know someone is a good person if your dog likes them! He went above and beyond with removing the toilets and then coming back a few hours later to re-install! 100% recommend Ace Plumbing and will be giving them a call for future projects!

We've had rockstar plumbing come to our house twice for two separate issues. They were really easy to schedule, turned up exactly when they said they would. Sal and Dejan were both excellent, diagnosing and solving the problem in minutes.

For the second job, they wouldn't even accept payment as it was a quick fix. The reviews here are completely accurate, Rockstar plumbing  are a great company and if we have any new issues we'll be on the phone to them again.

Miguel was the best! He was very helpful, on-time, & very affordable. He did the best job. I would recommend him to my friends, family, & strangers, whoever is looking for a great Plummer.

I really love it when I can find a dependable resource right in my neighborhood. First it's great to support local business and second, it's so much more convenient to have them be right here instead of driving in from West Covina or somewhere. Victor was easy to get on then phone and really knew his stuff. You can tell he's a master. He was available fast and came over and took care of my sewer line video inspection for a lot less that the dedicated inspection guys. It was a great experience that took a load of worry off my mind and I highly recommend him. Thanks, Victor!

Fantastic.   The crew was on time and courteous and did a great job.   If you are looking for professional expert plumbers, look no further.

Mandel and his crew did a fantastic job.  He came out the same day, provided me with a fair quote and completed the job within 24 hours.  I appreciated his patience in educating me about the issues with my plumbing. He has all of the latest equipment, which allows him to work quickly and efficiently.  He also provided more than just one recommendation re: how to approach and resolve the problem. I was very stressed out when he arrived but his expertise and professional demeanor quickly calmed me down - I knew that I was in good hands. I definitely recommend this business and would use them again.

Great positive experience and straightforward service. Sam was professional and got my drain unclogged quick. Rocket Plumbing will be the company I call if I have any future plumbing problems

Great work. They gave me the fairest quote out of 5 companies. The first company I called had quoted me literally double what these guys did in less than an hour. I can guarantee you, they'll be my first choice if I ever need anything plumbing related.  

Showed up on time, and left zero mess. Top-notch work

Use Z & H Plumbing!   My water heater started leaking from the bottom, it was replaced the next day.  I even emailed them late in the evening (with my apologies), and they responded.  They are reliable, courteous, and do great work.

I called them on Friday evening and they very quickly found the technician in my location. Very good price. Amazing service. Everything was done in 30 minutes! highly recommend!

Mike came for a free consultation and was very helpful in explaining what would need to be done. He was up front about the cost and what my best options were. I would call him again if I ran into other issues.

Great service from phone to plumbers who came and fixed my sink. Abel was really friendly and efficient!

So a couple years after Connie did the work on a sewar line that she said needed to be fixed (for $1800) under the house (it wasn't blocked, she said from looking at it that it wasn't installed properly and would clog up eventually), the line ended up clogging up. She hadn't done all the important plumbing work and just installed a couple new junctions at a very high cost. It should have only cost a couple hundred dollars and if she was concerned about the line and it clogging, she should have installed a clean out, which I had to pay to have installed later when the line she supposed fixed did clog.

Generally, she will find issues in your plumbing that aren't issues. She overcharges with a fixed quote and explains that there's a ton of work, but her workers are done in an hour or two. She also was supposed to move a gas line and paid a deposit and when the LA Gas company called to move the line, she was unavailable and wouldn't refund my $750 deposit.

1) Always get a second or third quote. For small jobs, most plumbers will quote over the phone or text.

2) For bigger jobs, get a written quote. NEVER GIVE A DEPOSIT.

3) Be suspicious of additional work any contractor suddenly finds when they're giving a quote.

4) Email or text to communicate so you have a record of the work and the job. Take before and after photos.

5) Ask for a warranty in writing.
