Best Businesses in California

After discovering a water leak, we were able to reach Aaron plumbing late in the night to get an emergency appointment for the next day on a short notice. Michael and his team did a very good job of replacing our leaking pipe which was not an easy job given the complexity of our old pipes and tight crawling space. They also promptly followed up the next day to finish the pending tasks. Would definitely recommend Aaron plumbing and Michael.

Our washing machine drain backed up and overflowed at the end of its cycle.  This indicated a clog way down the line. Elite ran a camera through the line and showed me how badly the outside line had deteriorated. Very old cast iron. I had them pull a new line, house to city connection, and they did an excellent job. Then they showed me how bad the lines were under the house. I had them replace all the sewer lines under the house too. Big and expensive job! But when they showed me the removed pipes half filled with  hard sediment it was obviously necessary. Took about four days. Very good work.
  The head tech. was Ruben Alvarez.  He was a real winner! He will also work as a handy man. He will be ours from now on. Give him a call at  (408)650-4371.

I first saw the excellent reviews for Trevin and Bullet Plumbing on NextDoor and called him for   replacement of our pressure regulator valve and some hose bibs that were stuccoed / painted over from the time we bought the house.

Trevin was on-time, within or even below his initial estimate and the work was excellent. Even other plumbers who came for stuff like hot water installation commented on how good the work was.

Most recently, we needed to cap a gas line and I had a shower where temperature was too cool and flow too weak. He made short work of these.

It's always a pleasure to work with some like Trevin--super competent, honest, prompt and respectful. And if he doesn't pick up your call right away, it's probably because he's in the middle of a job--he'll get back to you soon.

I'd recommend him without hesitation.

We just moved into a house when we had a problem with the downstairs bathroom. It seemed to be a drain issue. Unfortunately, we relied on the Internet, which led us to Elite Rooter. They sent someone right away, but this technician was apparently trained to scare customers into paying for unnecessary work. The technician did not address the drain out in the back, only one in the front. Then he said that his snake was blocked and that some kind of flap was broken or missing. We were told that there was probably a collapsed pipe. He even called his manager, who gave us an estimate of over $1200 to send a camera in. We are only renting, so we contacted the landlord. Thankfully, we were referred to John. John came in less than an hour and addressed two of our issues for less than half the price we were quoted (for just having a camera sent in). John was professional, quick, and personable. He also gave us lots of advice to prevent future issues. Thanks so much, John! We will refer you to all of our friends.

We are so pleased with the professionalism and kindness of Brian! He went over and above to make sure the problem wasn't only fixed, but that we were ensured to not face any problems in the future. Would highly recommend this company!

I really appreciate Tim from Able Plumbing company, Tim came out found the problem, got the parts that were needed, flushed the water heater a few times the calcium buildup in water heater was unbelievable, 15 years of so much buildup,  he came back the next day flushed it again, continued to finish up the job by making sure the pipes were bolted down also secured them. Tim went above and beyond what we expected. I highly recommend Tim for any of your plumbing work, Tim did an excellent job. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. Tim is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what the problem was. Thank You Tim your an asset to your company. May God Bless You, and keep up the great work!

Contacted Shane for our water leak. Responded same day and fixed the problem. He explained the problem and was able to answer all our questions. Will definitely use his service in the future!

Stop searching anymore... call Leo's plumbing repair already!! He is your man for all your plumbing repair needs.He will do the extra mile for you. One of the most honest guy in the business. I was told by my previous plumber that it could be broken pipes underneath and that they need to come back to run camera's and such..i see $$$$ in there!
Until I called Leo for a second opinion and he stopped by our house same day to give it a try... sure it's just heavy grease build up that's causing the clog, and he didn't stop trying until he clears it... nothing is broken after all. I definitely recommend Leo for your plumbing repairs!

UPDATE: I should give credit to the company since they did contact me about my experience and fully compensated for the work other plumber did to fix issues after Mike Counsil work.

I had following experience with this company:

We had a leaking manifold (the shut-off valve with L-shaped pipe that comes from the street to the garage).
Called Mike Counsil to check, when the technician arrived - they said it must be fixed immediately. Since we were without water, I agreed.
They fixed the manifold next day, but insisted on getting $800 permit because they cleared 2 inches of soil around the pipe. Total was $2k after negotiating down from $3k.
Later I called for quotes in a few local companies just to compare. All of them were less than $600.
After further asking my neighbors and around I learned that it's normal practice for Mike Counsil to take advantage of clients in urgent situations even if they claim they go by the book.

But this just a part of the story. Mike Counsil plumbers did not properly clean the new pipes before the turning the main shutoff again. A lot of debris got into the water and clogged the fill valves in both our toilets. Both toilets started leaking.  Furthermore, it broke the electric solenoid in our kitchen faucet (the expensive touch model).

When I called them to fix the problems and they sent technicians they tried to blame it on me. They claimed I had wrong pipes in my house. The right pipes supposed to be all copper.
Eventually, they called their managers and they confirmed that pipes all ok (all copper indeed) and admitted their fault. They cleaned the fill valves and promised to replace the solenoid (which they needed to buy first).

Apparently, they didn't do a good job at the cleaning and both fill valves started leaking again next day. I didn't want to deal with this company anymore and hired good local plumber who just replaced everything in both toilets.

A couple of weeks later a plumber from Mike Counsil showed up and replaced the solenoid.

UPDATE:
Glad to see that the comments are being monitored by the company.
But I stand behind my words.

- The original quote was for $2925. After initial negotiating, it was reduced by $321.86. When I bought up my concern about the permit it was further reduced by $603.14. I have all the docs stating that. Thank you for being accommodating, but it still times more than the average of other quotes.

- Other professional plumbers I contacted did not see the need in a permit.

- I was not in position to get the quotes since the technician came late in the evening and my family was without water. My fault not shopping around but I was not in position to do that.

- About the toilets: the fact is - the toilets did not leak before the Mike Counsil work and started leaking as soon as debris got to the house. I appreciate the effort to rectify your mistakes, but at the end, I had two broken toilets with running water and I didn't want to wait for another Mike Counsil visit to go through the same effort again.

- About the solenoid: thank you for fixing it. But at the end, we had to live with broken solenoid for many days.

Playing Mr. Fix-it, I thought I could replace a leaky drippy shower valve. This easy fix turned into a major problem when the cartridge broke as I tried to remove it. Since it was late Friday night and my weekend plans looked to be going up in smoke, I looked to yelp for help and called $15  Sewer and Drain. Robert showed up within 30 minutes to tackle the problem. I was worried that he would not be able to remove the broken cartridge and that this little problem would be an expensive fix. Robert was persistent and eventually got that stubborn broken cartridge out. He replaced the broken cartridge, tested for leaks and cleaned up the mess. Robert saved my weekend and saved me from the wife laying the smack-down on my Mr Fix-it a$$. Let's just say, what she doesn't know won't hurt me.

This review is for the RESPONSIVENESS of this business. He responded to my request within minutes of me requesting a quote on a service. We had to get an emergency service which was the only reason we did not proceed with them. Otherwise, quotes are fair and they are very quick and accommodating. He even offered a sooner appointment than what was initially available.

John did an incredible job on the crown moulding in my home.  In addition requested some last minute touch up paint work and it looked flawless! Highly recommend.  Now I am spoiled!

We worked with Plumbtree for a water softener installation and preventative horizontal re-pipe. They walked us through the entire process, gave us very transparent quotes and had no pressure while we waited a few months to start the process. We worked with Mario and he was amazing at what he did and I can't say anything negative. Every day they worked they ended the day with running water, a clean house and gave me a clear plan for the next day. 10/10 and I'll definitely use them again if we somehow have any plumbing issues in the next 40 years.

Had to have him out twice to find a leak in my spa. First time narrowed it down to the return line. Had contractor dig out line only to find out there was no leak. Had him return and he told me the leak was at the bottom of the spa at the drain. On both occasions, he never wrote up a detailed report to pin point the leak. Contractor had no idea where to look since drain looked sealed.This guy is a third rate operation. A total waste of $300. Stay away from Bullseye!

Quality Plus Plumbing is a very reputable business. They do provide quality plumbing at reasonable prices. We found them online and read reviews that said what good experiences people had. We called and we reached the owner immediately! He gave us a price quote on the phone and was able to schedule an appointment later that same morning. Shibli (the owner) is an excellent plumber and very easy to talk to. He could explain what was necessary in terms that I could understand.

We had a kitchen faucet to be replaced and we had already purchased the fixture we wanted. He explained some of the different installation options we had and he told us about an additional part that should also be replaced. (The additional price for this was also reasonable!)

Shibli is a good worker and takes care to keep things clean! He got the job done quickly and was a pleasure to deal with! We will keep his card handy and call him again whenever we have a plumbing problem! He is the best!!!

5 stars for Tony. Called them this morning trying my luck to get a service from them since our sink won't drain. Well, they arrived on time and they did a pretty good and fast job. These guys are Pro. Tony and Ricky are the best Pro for the job. Very nice and kind people. Im so happy with their service.

Our boiler was replaced pretty promptly. It was replaced within 2 hrs.  Thanks HR Plumbers!!

I have to say that I am incredibly happy with the service that Marti's gave us. They are very professional, provided great value in their work, and did everything with utmost care. I would recommend their services to anyone who needs them in a heartbeat. Our sewer pipe had been taken over by the roots of trees surrounding our home and unlike other businesses, they responded quickly to our call. Bernardo was the guy appointed for the project at our home and he did fabulous work. The day that the city inspector was going to check the work for approval, he was given a timeline between 7am and noon, and was here parked early in the morning so he could complete the project as soon as it was approved. That was amazing to me and highly recommend Marti's Plumbing services.

I had a hunch based on the warning signs that I likely had a blockage in the main sewage drain that went out to the street.  After speaking with a few plumbers on the phone who weren't able or willing to tackle this task I got in touch with Bernard at Noah's Plumbing.

He was on another job when I called but came over within an hour and quickly assessed the situation.  Throughout his time at my home he communicated clearly on all the things he was doing, the charges involved and was able to keep my house clean and tidy while dealing with the muck.

In the end he pulled some roots out of my sewer pipe with his fantastical sewer snake machine and now all is well again.

5 stars for prompt service, a genuinely nice guy to deal with and he solved my plumbing problem for what I thought was a very reasonable price given it is the Thanksgiving holiday.
