Best Businesses in Oakland, CA

KAP stepped up to help us out of a pinch on a short-notice, same-day service request.  The technician was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and from a trades perspective 'worked clean' which is highly appreciated in a residential job-space.  We found the costing to be fair and unlike some of the larger Magical plumbing firms you may also check-in with, KAP is anything but dismissive and clearly values their client relationship.  

Kenneth Asire Plumbing (KAP) will be our go to firm for future plumbing needs.

Our toilet flooded in the middle of the night. I didn't want to risk serious water damage, so I did a quick search and found AB's Plumbing Services. I requested a quote and they responded within minutes. They arrived, and after a few minutes my toilet was flushing better than it did before! I really appreciated them walking me through what they were doing and answering any questions I had.

Excellent plumbing service!  We've used them on many different jobs, they always get the work done in a professional manner, on time and on budget!

Excellent service. Fast response and they left the area very clean. Worked with the city inspector and got the compliance certificate the next day. I highly recommend them!

URV projects was so fast and responsive! Excellent communication too! I got a quote on Yelp (for capping off a gas line) and they were able to come out the next day and complete my project quickly, for the quoted price! I was really happy with the professionalism, and the service, and I'm glad to know of a great local plumbing service in case we ever need an urgent plumbing fix!

Vincent is clearly an Oakland veteran who deeply understands the intricacies of Oakland's sewer system. He was prompt, reliable, straightforward and a clear expert. Look no further!

OMG. If I could leave 10 stars, Vlad deserves it ! What an excellent find. (I had searched YELP for this type of service). We had a bazaar water leak issue UNDER our Slab.  Vlad showed up - on time - and did his magic. He has all the necessary TECH stuff to Find & Diagnose leaks -- especially those really subtle hard-to-find leaks.  After a lot of diagnosing, he identified the location of the leak. Had the Jack Hammer & tools to IMMEDIATELY excavate the slab area of the leak, then FIXED it .. 3 hours later, no more leaking.  We had other contractors lined up for several days following that would have come to a halt had this not been fixed right away.  ... HE DID IT ...  Amazing work !!  He's in my speed dial for any future water leak issues !

We had problem with our drainage in the bathroom which caused a leak in our closet downstairs. He came to check it out and advised what needed to be done. He was able to fix it and replace any outdated parts. Thanks Ben.

Best experience with a plumbing company I've ever had in 30+ years of home ownership. Skye at the office was prompt, pleasant and efficient in returning my calls. Then I was very lucky, I think to get Michael as the technician - he's very experienced and a true craftsman who takes pride in his work.

This job started as a simple matter of replacing the stem on a leaky faucet, but the first plumber I tried managed to break off half the stem within the pipe, quickly gave up trying to remove it, and told me he'd have to break through the wall and remove and replace all the pipes involved - escalating a sub-$200 job to a $1000+ job. He and his company (Abante) took no responsibility for breaking the pipe, even though they'd never warned me of the risk of breakage, and (it turns out), never lubricated the stem before trying to remove it, and may have even used the wrong tool. They originally quoted the job as $200 but informed me this just happens sometimes and you'll just have to pay for the additional work.

In contrast Michael and Lunt Marymor - while being upfront about not knowing if they'd be able to remove the stem or would have to replace the whole assembly -- made more than a good-faith effort. In fact, Michael went above and beyond what I expected and after nearly an  hour of lubricating, pulling with all his strength, jiggling and working at it -- voila! - he managed to extract the stem, replace it, and save me $800 in the process.

I think most plumbers would have given up after 10-15 minutes. I give Michael, and Lunt Marymor, my highest recommendation.

Our condo had a clogged main pipe , our technician Justin came by and it was all over. These guys are very good and the price was fair ! From now on these are our go to plumbing solution! Thank you Atlas!

I've been wanting to install a tankless water heater for some time now.  I wasn't expecting my water heater to fail on me as soon as it did, but things happen.  I went out and bought a tankless and then started looking for companies to do the install as that's the only way to preserve the warenty.   I had three different companies in mind, but Innovative Radiant Heating was the company I went with more for the fact that they're local and I like to support local businesses.  We talked, got a quote, and they showed up on time to do the work.  They did a great job and were pleasant to talk to.  Everything works great, and we're stoked.  I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for this type of installation.

Gil was reliable and helper fixed the leak at home. He was cost effective and highly reliable.

John is amazing. He's my first call for services. He arrives on time, he estimates how long it will take correctly. And doesn't up charge if it ends up being tricky. Honorable and scarce in this day and age.

I have used Gasca plumbing many times for both my home and apartment building. Andy always responds to my calls very quickly and fits me in for emergencies when needed. He is extremely sweet to work with, is always calm and confident which is nice when I am worried about water leaking somewhere! He does a fantastic job, explains what he is doing and leaves the area cleaner than when he found it. I feel like he treats my home the way he would his own. His prices are also totally reasonable. I can't recommend Gasca plumbing highly enough!

We are currently in the middle of a washer/dryer hookup install project with Handyman Heroes, led by Evelio. We are very pleased with the communication and diligence shown to us in getting our project completed as intended. The quote process was smooth and the team was diligent in thinking through how we might approach the tight space. Evelio has been professional in keeping us up to date every step of the way during construction, he has thoughtfully approached issues as they arise, and made sure the work is completed correctly. Our building is ~100 years old and our condo is on the top floor, so not an easy job to navigate. I'll post an update once the work is complete, along with photos.

I don't think I have ever written a review on yelp before but felt compelled to after meeting Ruben today. Our water heater (from 1991) busted yesterday and we needed someone promptly and at a fair price. We called around to several plumbers and I could tell over the phone that Ruben was the guy.

He came to replace the water heater on time, let me know what he was going to do to improve the set up and gave me some other helpful plumbing tips. He was super friendly and interesting and did a great job. Really stand up guy and I would definitely hire him again. 5 stars for sure!

We had a clogging drain which turned out to be not clogged but shut off - the valve was confusing and it looked open. Stanley came by, checked it thoroughly and then kindly and professionally broke the news to me. I was mortified but super grateful for his professionalism. He gave some ideas of how to maintain the drains for my rental property and was an all around great guy. I am putting him and Albert Nahman Plumbing on my house maintenance team for the long term!

A Company to depend on.
I recently had to put in a sewer lateral as a result of sale of one of my clients properties.  I did three quotes and Pipe Spy, Inc. was professional from beginning to end.  They to came to the property first assessed the situation, then used cameras to review the pipes, and then gave me a quote that my clients felt was the most fair.
They said the job would take three days and they were done in three days!!!  
I am very impressed with the professionalism of the whole company from the first call to the issuance of the digital certificate of compliance.  
Thanks Pipe Spy, Inc., you made me a hero with my clients!

I am the current owner of Allied HERS Testing.  The first time we tested one of Joey's installs he overheard us talking about the current record holder for the Duct Leakage Diagnostic tests we perform.  Under the current 2016 California State Energy Code Title 24 Section 6 a newly installed heating and ductwork project must be tested to verify it is only leaking equal to or less than 5%.  While the majority of the systems we test pass just under the 5% mark Joey's system passed easily that day (Please note that the United States has some of the strictest code guidelines for HVAC system installations worldwide and California has the strictest guidelines within the U.S.).  A couple of months passed and we received another request to test one of his installs. Upon arriving Joey had a big smile on his face and seemed eager to see the results.  His furnace and all new ductwork installation tested at 1.34% leakage!  It is our longest running record!  This goes to show the quality of work and pride Joey has...
