Best Businesses in Oakland, CA

Rasheed is very pleasant, skilled and reliable.  I have been using him for many years now and I've always been completely satisfied with his work.

I wanted to take a moment to write a review for Z and Z. My mom referred them to me several months ago. A couple weeks ago I had occasion to use them for a tree root problem. Z and Z was excellent. From arriving on time to explaining everything, and recommending both short and long term solutions. As a homeowner of an older home, you like to have options in managing costs. Z and Z is on my short list. I will not hesitate to contact them again. I also found their fees to be at market rate, but their efficiency and knowledge was worth it. And they didn't play around. They got right to it and were in and out in about an hour. Now I know why Mom recommended them! If you're looking for a good, reliable plumber, give them a call.

Very good experience. Technician /Ben show up on time. Very respectful, polite, wear shoes cover. Provide all requested services in a time manner with reasonable fees.

I hired Bader to put my expensive LED bathroom lights up. He was a delight to work with. I am very happy with the results.

This is a great shop. They have all the rough plumbing stuff you need. It's in bins so you can walk around and pick out what you want. Really handy if you are trying to figure it out. Having Sunday hours is a huge deal. They are on my short list of suppliers for sure!

It's easy to say that Daniel and Gateway Rooter are a solid company with a professional staff. We are very pleased with the scheduling and the job itself. During this last visit, he installed a new kitchen faucet, garbage disposal, and an ADA toilet. In the past, we have also had him installed a water heater and fix exterior sewage pikes. We will continue to use Gateway Rooter. He also was very respectful about safe practices during Covid 19.

Service is very good, can get the service right away and their work is very clean and nice. Very excellent job. They are very professional and have expert plumbing service. You can have total piece of mind and confidence when you call them. They are done quickly and are friendly and affordable. Best plumbing services. Thank you, Starboy Plumbing!

Our water heater in the house needed to be checked out, and I called to set up an appointment. It was prompt, smooth and I was able to get it fixed next day (Yey!) and the worker, mike was professional and helpful. I highly recommend them!!

Collins plumbing is the best!  We recently had an issue that prevented us from having hot water.  They came right out and did not leave until the job was done.  They kept me up to date with the progress on the job and are super trustworthy and reliable.  They treated our house as if it was their own and when they left it was as if they were never there.  I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Thank you Sean and Rose!

We had a toilet clogged that a plungercould not fix. Messaged Red Tulip and the Response time was very quick. Because it was a Saturday night he scheduled to come Sunday morning. He came between the times he said and fixed the problem right away. Ray was very professional and price is affordable! Will definitely use him again!

Let's start with the beginning ...

We had looked into several different plumbers here on Yelp, called three, and Natalia at A Plumbing Hero was the only one that actually answered the phone. She initially gave us an ETA of between 4 and 6 o'clock. Victor arrived at 5:45 and just left about 20 minutes ago (at 6:37).

Our plumbing had developed a massive clog all the way out by the street, under the house. It had caused the flushed toilet water to back up into the bath tub, and by the time Victor arrived, the water was about 3-4 deep.

When we asked for the quote to clear the line over the phone with Natalia, she quoted us at $149, when Victor arrived and realized he'd have to go under the house, he re-quoted us at $179. They honored the original quote, despite the extra obstacle.

We would definitely call A Plumbing Hero in the future. They certainly were our heros today.

Woke up one day and the toilets and shower was backed up. Called my plumber and he snaked the line and it backed up again the next day. He came back and charged me again and snaked it again. Called another company and they recommended replacing the main sewer pipe. I started getting estimates from other plumbing companies.

Trenchless Solutions gave me a bid 25% less than 5 other companies. Trenchless Solutions pulled permits and completed the job in one day. If you want to save money and time just call Trenchless Solutions. Trenchless Solutions is the best sewer replacement company in contra costa

He indicated that he is Not certified to remove an air conditioning unit, therefore his services was not provided.

We had a toilet that needed replacing and we hired Slick Rooter Plumbing to do the job. Ferdie, the owner, came and did an amazing job. Ferdie is fair, friendly and fast.  He quoted us a a fair price, great value for money.  Other companies quoted more than double his price.  He was friendly - always smiling and with such a positive demeanor, great vibes all around.  As to fast, he gave us a 2 hour window and arrived right on time and quickly got to work. He was quick without being rushed. What I liked was also how detailed he was in doing the little things like making sure the surrounding was clean. I could tell that he took pride in the job he did which is rare nowadays.

We HIGHLY recommend him for your plumbing needs. We have found our new go-to plumber in Ferdie.

Sam Anderson was great. Our shower leaked through the wall down into the bathroom of the neighbor below. Turned out there were two problems: the cartridge behind the handle was spraying water into the wall, and the drain had a small hole. Sam easily fixed the first problem. The second took a while and looked hard, including sawing out stuck parts. Then he got the new drain assembly in there and tested everything and it does not seem to leak anymore. Total cost was $823 ($175/hour + $300 of parts). Sam does tend to run a little behind, he was usually about 30 minutes later than planned. We just started planning for that and it wasn't a problem. Seems like a thorough repair.

I had a small but urgent plumbing job on a Saturday: my tenants who live downstairs from me could not turn off their shower. I was out of town for the day and they had to turn the water off at the main, and then they had to leave for the day. I posted a request on Yelp. Rene was the first to reply and he said he'd come right out. I directed him how to open our lock-box and get the house keys, and he turned the shower off. He said the shower mechanism was shot, because putting in a new cartridge didn't solve the problem. So we will have to replace the mechanism. That's for Monday. Although he had driven from San Rafael, he only charged me $110 for the job. Great service.

Had to call multiple times to see when the plumber will comer to service; Refused to honor a value-pak coupon for $77 CABLE ANY DRAIN ANY TIME  for clearing a bathroom sink. Value-pak coupon  also included a Free sewer camera inspection which was not done;   use the service at your own risk.

I've been using these guys for several years and have not had a bad experience with them.  Best of all I trust them to do the job. I actually now live in NY and use them for my home in SF. If my tenants have a plumbing issue or I need plumbing maintenance performed, these guys get the job done, on time and within the estimated price. Most recently I've been dealing with Pablo and Frank and they've kept the quality of work and service top notch. When's the last time you trusted someone to do good job when you were thousands of miles away?
