Best Businesses in California

Sohail Hossini and his partner knocked out a kitchen demo in a day and a half.  He moved the gas connector for my new stove coming in.  He'll be back in two weeks to do the tiling of the backsplash.  This is a no nonsense contractor who gives you a quote in writing, comes on time, does the work quickly, and we couldn't be more pleased.  Thank you

Edgar came out to install two standard toilets. He was a true professional and did an outstanding job. The price was very reasonable and He worked very efficiently. I've been calling Lefty's for all my plumbing needs since i bought my house four years ago and i won't go anywhere else. Lefty's has always treated me right with reasonable rates and exemplary work on projects both large and small. They have my strongest recommendation!

A great experience with Dr. Rooter!

Jerry answered the call himself while in his other job. Asked me to text him and he would get back when he could.  And later he called and was ready to stop by.

Jerry showed up after a long day at another job to check on my mom's problem.  He got right into it checked things out and tried something. Next thing we know he had the problem in process of resolving.

He was friendly, great to talk to , and affordable reasonable pricing.

Excellent service and nice to support a locally owned and run small business.  

Thank you!!

Occasionally I'll read a Yelper complaining or justifying an action based upon Yelper's giving content to this site with no compensation (whatever you say genius).

I just got paid!

In addition to finding U,F&C places; meeting some cool people, having some fun social adventures via Yelp - I've saved money, and received great service on many occasions.

I recently saved at least $6000 by going with a recommendation from my buddy Chris D. to try Owen Plumbing. Let's see - that's $500 a month for a year - about $125/week and I write (on average) 2 reviews per week - $62.50/review for my pearls of wisdom and incredible wit. - That's value received just from this single transaction.

I can't thank Chris enough for taking the time to tell me about Owen Plumbing - but that's what most Yelper's do - and Yelp's fundamental purpose!

I am happy to write (going by many Yelper's criteria) the first legit review of Owen Plumbing. Even though I completely agree with the other 4 reviewers (at this time) - they all have 1 or 2 reviews each - you know how those can be!

OK - on to the story - my brother and I own a few rental houses, it is vital for us to have go to home services that we trust in all aspects of their business. On a Friday night - one of our tenants called - a problem with the kitchen sink drain. They were a bit apprehensive, as they told me it was a collapsed drain pipe - they had seen it before - it was a huge fix at another house. For some reason they called their go to plumber to come out and unclog the drain, he worked on it for 2 hours, also put a camera down it - Here's his number, Bob - they did a great job for us before and they're ready to start on Sunday - jack hammering the kitchen floor into the slab. It was going to be about over $5000 estimated - this did not include replacing the flooring/finish work. Not gonna happen that easily - I'm a Yelper - I have a list and reviews to check!!

I checked their plumber - several one star reviews, and overall a two. I checked their BBB rating - they are a member - and it's an A+, but like Yelp ratings you need to look beyond the overall rating - so I looked at their complaint history, 10 complaints over the last 3 years, over charging - bait and switch - unnecessary repairs etc. They are a rooter service that says $49 unclog to get in the door - and they're on commission! Even if it was gonna be a big bill - my cash wasn't going their way!!

Better to send my money to a great guy like Scott Owen - he took about an hour with me on the phone - discussing the issues - he used to work for a commission based plumbing service - he got out of that because of the dishonesty and started his own business. They base their services upon a flat fee for time spent servicing. No gimmick pricing. He honestly laid out the several scenarios and steps that might occur and what they could and could not do. He was able to have someone there the next morning to check it out, but it would be at Saturday service call prices - time and a half - $130 for the call and a 1/2 hour of time. I was not going to go with the other plumber 's assessment - so I needed a second opinion for sure!

Scott gave me his personal cell number for after hours plumbing situations, and he sent a text confirming that Rodney would meet me at the property in the morning. Rodney was on time, had a well stocked professional plumbing truck and was completely open - answering all my questions - explaining what he planned to do - he worked with me every step of the way. He was professional, and cared about what he was doing from step one to advice on what I might want to do in the future.

Rodney snaked the drain and made sure he had hot water in the drain when he did so - due to obvious grease build up. Guess what, unclogged no problem! Total time was 1 hour - in and out - Total price $190 - done! It was only that high because of  being Saturday. He informed me that since it was grease there's a slight chance it might close up again, and if it did in within a week he would come out again - no service charge, just time charge, and snake it again - that was 2 weeks ago - no problems at all - Great job Rodney!

My tenant was very happy, but also concerned they may have gotten snaked themselves on a previous deal - no wonder that guy supposedly worked two hours trying to unclog this drain - and running a camera for no charge.

As another reviewer stated Stop searching!! This is your plumber for life - I couldn't agree more. Family run, honest, professional service, good communication. Not too big, but also not tiny - they have 4 full size plumbing trucks. A great owner, who even encouraged me about DIY items. I can't think of anything more I could ask.

I hope this review generates some good publicity for these people, as I owe them my thanks. While I'm here, thanks to Yelp and Yelper's also. Do yourself a favor, follow Chris D's advice and bookmark Owen Plumbing now - you'll be glad you did someday.

We had a pipe in the kitchen that had been severed and repaired with tape by a previous owner (unbeknownst to us).  The broken pipe was discovered after we replaced the sink.  We called AAA Plumbing yesterday morning and Steve said he'd arrive yesterday afternoon which he did.  

Steve was very honest, knowledgeable and helpful.  He fixed the severed pipe very quickly and efficiently.  We are very happy with his work!  We'd hire him again!!

I'm a big fan of Clairemont Plumbing! Most recently Marshall came out to replace my water heater. He does great work and cleans up after his work. I think this was the 3rd time I've used CP for different plumbing needs. Highly recommend!

This was the most disappointing experience of the four plumbers who bid on my tankless water heater. In spite of the company name, AJ appeared to be the least knowledgeable about tankless water heaters. He made totally unwarranted (and as it turns out incorrect) assertions about both the gas supply line and exhaust vent without bothering to actually inspect them. I suspect that he probably was uncomfortable with the conversion from a storage water heater in a condo and that he might be fine with installing one in a newer home. His quote for a storage water heater replacement was fair, but the other vendors were simply more knowledgeable and professional.

Unlike some folks, it pains me to give negative reviews - much less be slanderous (technically it would be libelous in written form). AJ was very professional in the pre-visit communications (per the attached Yelp thread) so I'm not sure why his visit went poorly - other than that he arrived early & found a competing bidder.

Sherlock was wonderful, from the initial phone call, to completion.   Everyone was professional, competent, Covid safety protocols observed, and excellent clean up, disposal of old equipment, and training us in using the new thermostats.
Billy is outstanding.  He never stops working, and is so dedicated to making sure the job is well done, and that everything is done to his very high standards.  A remarkable person!
Our new equipment is efficient, so quiet, and easy to operate even from my phone .
We are very happy.

Joshua and his team did the plumbing for our bathroom renovation, and we were seriously impressed by their work. Easy to work with, accommodating of our schedules, and extremely hard-working to make sure the job got done on time, even if it meant working late into the night. Very satisfied and would highly recommend!

Whew! We're new homeowners and have had a few plumbing issues and were very overwhelmed with how to tackle things. Mauricio gave us honest, solid guidance and the entire Exodus team tackled our big job fast. We are super grateful to have found such amazing service and will absolutely use Exodus for all of our jobs in the future!

My overall experience with Premo Electric was a good one, and for that reason they get 5 stars. They seemed knowledgeable and reliable as far as quoting, pricing, quality of work, and their showing up on time. The work took a little longer to complete than I originally thought, but it wasn't for anything unreasonable or unjustified. I would definitely recommend them in the future.

Mario and his partner were prompt, courteous, and did a fine job installing a ceiling fan complete with rewiring and installing a new hood over our stove.  Excellent

Recently purchased a model 3 Tesla and called several companies who gave me the run around on price and wasted our time. I called and spoke to Steve from SRP Electric who asked me to send him some photos of my garage and breaker box setup. After giving him those, I received a quote and dealt with no surprises after the install. His price was also lower than everyone else we spoke to. He also was super knowledgeable about the electric setup. Because of them I am able to charge my Tesla at 32-36 miles per hour!

We needed a cable run through a wall. After the initial request for a quote, Mike got back to me in a timely manner and I was able to schedule an appointment right away. When the technician,Alex, showed up he was polite and did the work exactly as I asked for. I would use this business again without hesitation.

Leo is a great electrician that I will happily call for all of my future electrical needs. He came out on a Sunday (amazing) to look at my setup and give me an estimate. The very next day he installed a Nema 14-50 outlet so I can charge up my Model 3 quickly.

I enjoyed all my interactions with Leo. He is very friendly and did an amazing job connecting the new Nema box with the existing system. I am impressed with the excellent install job every time I utilize the outlet. I have posted some pictures of his handwork and the speed you can expect to charge an electric car from a Nema 14-50.

Great guy, great price, great service. Thank you again Leo!

We had some electrical issues that needed to be addressed in our home as well as some additional work we wished to be done. Jesus and his partner Jose worked efficiently and professionally at a very reasonable price. They corrected faulty wiring, replaced defective GFCI's, added junction boxes for a ceiling fan and chandelier, and added a sub panel in our garage to reorganize our electrical loads. Jesus responded quickly to all of our texts, was prompt, courteous and completed the job on time. I highly recommend United Electric.

Mark did a fantastic job on several important things at our place:

1. Installing a new 200A service panel along with a new riser, which included tear-out of the original. Both the City Inspector and the Solar company who came after him were impressed with his work.
2. Installing an EV charger along with its own 240V/50A circuit.
3. Installing new LED flood lights in the backyard.
4. Adding several new circuits to our garage to serve high load appliances. He ran multiple circuits in parallel to distribute the load.
5. Replacing a bunch of ungrounded outlets with GFCIs.
6. Reconfiguring some wonky wiring in our ceiling crawl space to work more effectively with existing switches, and a few other re-wires here and there.

Mark communicates well, is transparent about needs, costs, & standards, offers options, and his pricing is fair and competitive. After meeting with several electricians, he was clearly the right guy for our job. He also offered a lot of low-cost suggestions to optimize energy efficiency along the way. We will call him again.

We had a problem with our infratech patio heater. It turned out to be a simple fix but we appreciated Rory's quick response and professionalism, he did a very good job!!

Sick of searching for a electrician? Look no further than Frank. Friendlier, better priced, and more professional than the other estimates I had. Took care of all the legwork logistically with our 200A service upgrade, Tesla charger installation, and adding an outdoor outlet... and you can believe SDG&E doesn't make it easy. Even took care of a ceiling fan I had incorrectly wired earlier . Estimate was accurate to the dollar, even with the extra time and effort he put into my job. If you need an electrician call Frank! I'll rest my entire Yelp reputation on it.
