Best Businesses in Oakland, CA

Jason was a pleasure to work with and is everything a homeowner can hope for in a contractor. He was responsive, knowledgeable, fair in his pricing and dependable. He installed a new gas line to my kitchen as part of a kitchen remodel. He asked more questions and did more research on the project than any of the other contractors who gave me bids so I was confident that the job would be done correctly. On the day of the installation he showed up on time and was able to complete the job ahead of schedule. He was courteous and friendly and even swept the floor before he left. Outstanding all around!

No one quite does it as efficiently as AB plumbing! Not only do they do a great job, but they are cost efficient, thorough, and have great customer service! I would refer anyone and everyone to make use of AB plumbings services as they are # 1 in the industry!

I've been using Tony for plumbing issues my home on Ocean View Drive in Oakland for three-four years now. He and his team have not only been fantastic plumbers but entertainers as well. You don't find that much in the plumbing community.

Oh, I should mention he did one BIG job for me; replacing ALL the 1934-era cold water pipes in my house. It was a big job and finished to perfection.

Thanks Tony!

I actually almost hope something new with my home's antique plumbing will go wrong again just so I can see Tony, Checkers, and/or other members of his crew again! That's crazy of course, but WTF!

Love this guy and his CREW!

Hi, I highly recommend Monarch Plumbing. My elderly mother had flooding in her basement. Contacted several plumbing businesses and Monarch Plumbing were one of the first to respond. They assessed the situation and determined it was a broken sewer line. Discovered that the City of Oakland had to inspect and issue permit before repair could commence. In limbo was my elderly mother who had to be displaced. Spoke with Supervisor Fernando who contacted the City of Oakland to expedite process given my mother is elderly. Greatly appreciated Fernando advocating.

Miguel and the crew that worked at the home arrived on time and maintained communication of the progress. Thank you Monarch Plumbing for the excellent customer service!

Our AC was making strange noises.  After consulting with Michael, Bruce was able to come out the next day, found it was an easy and relatively inexpensive fix.  He even made a couple other adjustments to keep the system working well.   Very trustworthy, personable and great service!

Our water heater finally broken after 24 years of service at around 10:30pm. Edwin showed up in 45 min and gave us a free inspection and estimate. He installed a new one for me on the second day. Very detailed, very experienced, and checked water pressure problem for us in the bathroom. Highly recommended.

Cannot recommend these folks enough. Greg was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the process of our boiler replacement (no small job!). He and the rest of the company handled everything smoothly and promptly, and they charged us very fairly. The estimates were clear and everything was explained to us in detail, and we asked a lot of questions! The work was done swiftly, and when something happened that was beyond their control, they were on it immediately and totally resolved the issue.

We will definitely be working with LJ Kruze again--they're the real deal!

Jac is great! She talked me through an emergency issue I had and tried to find me a plumber who could take a last-minute emergency case. My landlord wanted me to go through his plumber, so that's what I ended up doing, but I would hire her in a heartbeat if it were completely up to me!

I've used Mohammed a couple times and he's done a fantastic job both times. The first was changing a 10+ year old water heater. He bought and installed a new one and did a great job. The building inspector who I brought in a couple weeks later to check if everything was according to city code was impressed with the job. The second time was to replace a leaky kitchen faucet and other smaller jobs like tightening loose taps and fixing faulty pumps in toilet tanks. The kitchen faucet job was pro - the old one was gone in a jiffy and all the dirt and water that leaked under the faucet was cleaned up. I couldn't have been happier when I seen what a neat job was done. I think he goes above and beyond what he just has to do and cleans and tightens up the loose ends so to speak. Would highly recommend Mohammed for any kind of plumbing job. I hope I don't have to call a plumber again - but if I have to Mohammed is the guy.

I have called Khan three times in the past. He is friendly and professional and schedules the appointments right away. He or his employees do their best to come right away and they always have for me. He has replaced my clogged kitchen line and worked on my two bathroom sinks backing up. I also called him to come look at my water heater because the pilot light was going out several times a day, for four days in a row. He honored the verbal quote given to me over the phone and gave me advice about the water heater's manufacturer.

Had a bad drainage backup and called them 8am. They said they could arrive at 10am and Showed up early! This is incredible responsiveness!

They worked diligently to solve the problem. Highly recommend them for your every day plumbing needs. Eddie is a very courteous and pleasant to work with.

Called Bay Area Plumbing about an issue with my sink. Boris came the same day, fixed it in less than hour, and was on his way. Great service and will definitely use them again!

I can't rave enough about Joel's plumbing expertise and outstanding service from Golden Coast Plumbing and Rooter! When my toilet started leaking, my wife and I were in a panic. It smelt terrible! Thankfully, Joel and his uncle came to the rescue, and he's nothing short of a plumbing superhero!

From the moment he arrived, Joel exuded professionalism and friendliness. He showed up right on time, ready to tackle the issue. His warm demeanor immediately put me at ease, and I knew I was in capable hands.

What impressed me the most was Joel's extensive knowledge and experience. He quickly assessed the situation, diagnosed the problem, and explained in simple terms what needed to be done to replace the wax ring. I appreciated how he patiently answered all my questions, never making me feel like I was bothering him.

Once he got to work, it was like watching magic unfold. Joel's skill and precision were mesmerizing. He swiftly removed the old wax ring and installed the new one with absolute accuracy. It was evident that he had performed this task countless times, and his confidence was contagious.

But it wasn't just about speed for Joel. He genuinely cared about the quality of his work. He paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring that everything was aligned perfectly and there would be no future leaks. It was clear that he took immense pride in his craftsmanship.

Throughout the entire process, Joel maintained a clean and organized workspace. He treated my home with respect, and when he finished, there was no mess left behind--just a perfectly functioning toilet.

Even after completing the job, Joel went above and beyond by sharing valuable tips on toilet maintenance to prevent future issues. His commitment to customer satisfaction was truly remarkable.

In conclusion, if you ever encounter a plumbing problem, especially involving your toilet, Joel is the plumber to call. He's not just a plumbing wizard; he's a genuine professional with a passion for his craft. Thank you, Joel, for your exceptional service and for saving the day (and my bathroom!). You've earned yourself a customer for life. Keep being awesome!

Rene and his worker did a good job fixing the drainage pipe. They ran the camera through the pipe and found the problem right away , and fixed promptly. Job Well down !

The crew at Fast Response are efficient and honest. I had a water heater problem, replacing a part that I did not have to skill to do so myself. I called them up, expecting to get an appointment in the next coupe of days, instead they came in next few hours. They looked at my situation, and gave me an honest estimate and fixed the problem within an hour. They even gave me advice on certain features on my water heater to look for, because they understand how expensive plumbing is. Will be calling back next time I have a problem.

We called Alameda Rooter on a Friday with our toilet leaking from the base. Andrè (the plumber) came out, fixed the problem in about 45 minutes, and charged a fair price. I highly recommend them and would use them again.

Fantastic service! My water heater kind of exploded yesterday, and my neighbor recommended providence. I called them, and they were at my house within 30 minutes with an estimate, and had someone there to install the replacement heater within another 30 minutes. He was done within an hour or so. The whole problem was fixed within 3 hours of the water heater dying. They were professional, efficient and reasonably priced, and the tank and parts have 6 year warranty; labor a 1 year warranty. Definitely recommend them!

Leo and his team are amazing! Neighborhood Plumbing, arrived 15 minutes early, texted and emailed letting me know they were here. They came to remove an old vanity, install a new one, and install a faucet in the kitchen. They were a pleasure to work with. Leo showed me some tricks on how to maintain my appliances. The rest of the team working in the bathroom seamlessly worked around a few obstacles and installed our vanity. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Side note: Our basement flooded back in October. Another company said the flooding was a problem due to our upper lateral and quoted us $15K to fix it. We called Leo for a second opinion. He came by, checked the basement and lower lateral and ran a level to double check the other company's findings. Leo said that there was nothing wrong with our upper lateral and the problem was on the city's side. Leo was 100% correct. We're now working with the city to address the problem. Leo did all of this for free and saved us $15K.

Stand up guys, 10 year old family business, nothing less than perfect workmanship - the city needs more businesses like Neighborhood Plumbing.

Leo and team are my family's plumbers.

This place is expensive!  40 gallon water heater -$100 more than Home Depot and our local family owned hardware store.

Fred and company are all about service...Prompt, Professional, and Pleasant!
even the day after a holiday week end Great service.  I have used them for many years and will continue to do so...
