Best Businesses in Oakland, CA

Despite of my worry, Water Heaters Only, Inc. promptly reply my quote request through yelp, and also kindly set up an appointment on the same day.( I sent request on 11/29 1am and they replied first thing in the morning on 11/29 8am!)
They sent Loni to our house. Loni was very patient and kind to answer all of my questions before I decided to accept the quote to have him replacing my leaked water heater.
Loni replaced our leaked water heater in 3 hours! During the time he was replacing the water heater, he explained me how the water heater system works throughout the entire process.
Loni was very  professional,friendly, knowlegeable, experienced, patient....let me just say he truly is such a real nice gentleman that you could ask for!
Thank you Loni, you taught me quite a bit of things about water heater system and I feel like I know so much more than yesterday.... certainly I don't want to have any more trouble with the water heater, but if that happens I have no doubt to call your company for help.

Josh installed a water softener for our home. He was on time, very informative, and very kind. He was able to come to soon after we called. He explained the process and our water is Amazing! He taught us how to change the filters and did extra then he really needed to do to ensure we understood it all. Will definitely be using his services again and would highly recommend Josh!

Ray is terrific! He came over within an hour of my calling and dealt with our sewage(!) drain issue promptly and easily.  He was very professional and thorough and I would recommend him to anyone. He was a pleasure to deal with and was very reasonable. Plus he gives a 30-day guarantee which gave me further assurance.

Amazing customer service!  Fair price!

Wow!  Horrible smell coming from my bathtub.  Called after 8pm on a Sunday night.  Got a call back within 15 minutes and Dominic was out the next day!  Really spent a substantial amount of time trying to diagnose the problem, and then charged me $100 less to snake the line than my landlady said she had paid another plumber some years ago.

When we weren't sure that the smell was gone after the snaking, he went out to the hardware store and purchased the part to fix my toilet, too, AT NO EXTRA CHARGE!  He seemed to genuinely care about solving the problem and was nice to my kid and my cats.

Adolfo did an outstanding job. He was very accommodating and reliable. He is very friendly and knowledgeable.His prices were reasonable and it didn't degrade the quality of his work.

Super friendly and efficient. We needed our security bars removed after we had an appraisal and they were able to come within the week to remove. Highly recommend D&M Tile Services.

They fixed a blockage in another tenant's apartment and noticed the sink was falling apart underneath it. Sent pictures of the rust under the sink (I'll save you from seeing those) and a video proving that the drain was unclogged. They again did everything for me in replacing the sink, and my tenant was super happy about it. I asked her for the 1 out of 10 scores, and she said 10. Still happy with them.

Needed a leak fixed immediately and was able to schedule him on the same day in a couple of hours - actually came earlier than the scheduled time and fixed it right away

You are looking at a very rare thing here. A thank you note from a plumber. - A few weeks ago we were in dire need of help, when our regular guy said he would come, but ended up flaking both in showing up, and in letting us know that he wasn't comingg, causing us to wait around all day for nothing. --  Enter Michael Your Plumber to the rescue! --

We found Michael here on yelp, called him and left a voicemail. He called back the same day, and was able to squeeze us into his schedule. - He arrived *on time*, was very friendly, courteous, and professional. He walked me through the steps that I needed to learn so that I could fix the issue myself if it ever happened again. -- He charged a fair competitive rate for a service call, and all was taken care of. -- Zero drama, totally smart, efficient, and above all a *very* nice guy.

The images that you see are the front and back of a follow-up/thank you note that he sent. - Having worked in the business of training professional sales staff many years ago, I know well the art of keeping clients/customers. And I used to tell all of my employees to follow up with their clients by method of snail mail. I haven't seen an act like this for about a decade or so. The fact that Michael is 'old school' when it comes to courtesy and customer service has not gone unnoticed. - That he used a note card with Fellini's Amarcord on the front shows that he has impeccable taste.

Needless to say, our former plumber has been relived of his duties, and from here on out, we'll be using Michael for all of our plumbing needs.

During the night our drains started backing up into the tub.  We called Lett's Plumbing first thing in the morning.  Someone answered the phone and got a plumber call us back within 30 minutes.  He gave us an ETA and just a little over an hour after our initial call, They had a plumber at our home a little over an hour after our initial call.  He clearly knew what he was doing, he was efficient and got our drain open and flowing within an hour.  Great, fast and reliable service.  Highly recommend.

We needed major plumbing work underneath our 100-year-old house. Brian to the rescue!!! He crawled underneath, took pictures, and the next day he returned to fix the pipes. You will know from the moment you meet him that he is trustworthy and takes pride in his work. Just stop reading all the reviews now and go call Brian. Call him today, you won't be sorry! What a relief that the plumbing is fix.

Raymond and his crew were absolutely fantastic! I am so immensely grateful on how our electrical problems were handled. We had to change our entire electric panel and it was done very efficiently, professionally and with the best customer experience I have ever received. Thank you Pacific coast electric for saving our day to day life!

Courteous, professional, thorough.  Did not try to sell me any extras.  They came at the agreed time and did the job for the quoted price.  I used them for clearing a sewer main, not any in-house plumbing, which I can do myself.  I will use them again.

used these guys in past! lost the number, glad to find them again. shows up on time. reasonable prices! got the job done!

I am very satisfied with the work and the expedite service they provided. Alex was transparent and accurate. Veronica was thorough and very helpful throughout their service. I was very satisfied with the service and work I received.

I reached out when I noticed there is some leak in my shower tub so I requested a quote on a Saturday. Yaro replied instantly with honest estimation and came right on time on scheduled time. After checking the cartridge he also noticed my water heater is leaking and proposed to replace it for me - which saved a lot of trouble!

Great job Yaro, thanks for being professional and providing great service at acceptable price!

I had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday, and Genteel was able to send someone within 45 minutes (!) to my home. They presented several options, some of which were a bit beyond what I wanted to do in the moment but there were not overly pushy. They got to work and were finished in less than an hour. In the end, they finished the job efficiently and successfully and saved me a lot of stress.

Plumbing Experts are great! While working with them to set up appointment, diagnostic and replacing our new water heater, could not have gone more smoothly. First and the most important, they responded almost immediately and came on the very next morning. Really great expertise all around. The same day, we had the old tank out replaced with new one, and again no issues again. We highly recommend this guys, it's quite a luck to find someone realisable those days.

Definitely not inexpensive.  They were very professional but charged just to come out and look at my system.  There quote was the highest I received.
