Best Businesses in California

Above and beyond!!! These guys are amazing.  I contacted a number of  plumbers through Yelp and MTZ was by far the most responsive and service-oriented.  They were timely in both providing a fair quote and scheduling the job in a way that fit with my schedule.  They were the most courteous and polite service providers I've encountered in 10 years of home ownership.  I couldn't be happier with quality of the work done.  Hector even told me that he was thinking about my project while he was at home and came up with several convenient improvements in my design which he then implemented WITH NO EXTRA COST TO ME!  Who else does that?!?!?  I'd like to think that if I had a small business, I would operate it with the same efficiency, courtesy, and quality as MTZ.

Mr Fix Bay Area showed up right after the contact even after 7 pm. Everything is done perfect. Saved our Friday night. Also gave me 5 extra screws. Thank you!!!

We couldn't be more pleased with Matt's excellent customer service!  He really went the extra mile with us by handling our water heater replacement and dealing with it being under warranty with the manufacturer (which was something he realized since our unit was 4 years old). He was able to squeeze us in his schedule so we could have hot water the same day!  We are very appreciative and will be using him in the future!

Highly recommend Phillip and his team. I have a rural mountain property with outdated plumbing, and had a major leak. It was very challenging to locate the leak, then to access the space, and Phillip went above and beyond to fix it. Additionally, it was a messy (and rancid smelling) job, and Phillip was so careful to keep everything clean! I was so impressed.

I scheduled with Shanna easily through a call and text confirmation, then Phillip and his team members came the very next day! Not only was the price very reasonable, but my work was done quick and accurately! Due to Covid, they followed all guidelines - mask, distancing, etc. I felt safe and trusted this wonderful plumbing service with my home.

Andrew was amazing he was on time, polite, knowledgeable, and quick he was able to replace my old water heater quickly at a reasonable price would highly recommend Andrew and his crew

We had Patrick from Smart Plumbers come out to repair the p-trap on our urinal on February 18th, 2022. We are located in Santa Clara.

It was not draining properly and Patrick said the p-trap was calcified and needed replacing.

I was not onsite to approve the job but our onsite manager did approve it. She was unaware she was being hosed.

Look at the picture attached for the work performed. They replaced the PVC p-trap.

$375 service charge.
$100 parts charge. (PVC p-trap)
$18 credit card fee.
$493 Total.

I called Smart Plumbers  and asked to have the charges explained to me as I thought the price for the work performed must have been in error. I was told they would have Patrick, the plumber who preformed the work call me back that afternoon. No call. I called two more time and was assured he would call me back. No call. Finally March 1st, a full 10 days later,  Patrick calls me back.  

He very angrily proceeds to tell me the charges are what they are and we approved them. I told him he took advantage of us and although our onsite manager did approve the repair estimate, I would be letting the public know, through Yelp and Diamond Certified, that they are unethical and buyer beware of the price gouging.

Very unprofessional. Over priced.

Shout-out to Leo Soto who did an outstanding job in cleaning and unplugging the drain. The sewage backed up and he spent hours repairing the pipes at the Laguna Apartments in SF. Leo was courteous and professional and stayed until the job was completed. Highly recommend this company, Ace Plumbing in SF! Already gave Leo's name to our relatives. Thanks again, Leo!

Excellent service from Dan and team. Very pleasant guy. I had a kitchen sink backing up. He told me he would be here in 45 minutes, texted me 15 minutes before arrival, showed up promptly. Dan took the time to explain the process to me and was in and out in 15 minutes. The price was reasonable and the problem is solved.

Are you kidding me? This company cant even answer their phone. How in the world can you trust them to show up at your house to work on your plumbing? Seriously. All these comments are paid employee's commenting on Yelp. Beware

Do you want to be able to trust your plumber? That he gives you an honest appraisal of what the problem is, the options in which it can be fixed, and a price that is fair and reasonable.  This is George, the best plumber I've ever had.
In addition to coming over to assess the reason you called, he will determine any other water leaks or disturbances there are and let you know what they are.
Honest, trustworthy, generous, kind, AND EXPERIENCED!  Grab him while you can for any plumbing problem that appears.

These guys saved the day ! YEAH !! Usually this is a plumbing issue I can fix, after the wife clogs up the drain. However, I have too busy of a day to even attempt to unclog this pipe. I called this company and they were out to our home in literally less then 10 minutes. Probably not the normal, but it just happened that they had a no show customer, so it worked to our advantage!! All 5 stars here !!!

Saw the strong Yelp reviews and called Kratzer for a puzzling sewer drain problem.
Great phone response and follow up.
Showed up on time and eager to fix my troubles.
Appropriate tools on hand.
Intelligent and logical problem solver.
Friendly and genuine.
Reasonably priced.

My dad was a plumber, and I have a lot of respect for this guy's reaslistic knowledge of 'the art of plumbing'.

I purchased a Daikin split A/C system from Bellows way back in 2011. The system had been working great for years until I noticed that one of the units was leaking water inside the house. I called Bellows to schedule service (this was the Friday before July 4th weekend). I was pleasantly surprised to get a call back (from, i think her name was Sophie...) within 30 minutes on a holiday weekend. We scheduled the appointment for the following Tuesday.

During the service visit, our tech Steve, was courteous and proceeded to perform the standard service to clear out the drain hose. This seemed address the problem.

A month later, i noticed similar leakage from the same unit. I called Bellows again to have them take another look at it. They sent out the same tech who was familiar with the previous fix to check it out again. After some investigation, he determined that the drain hose needed to be re-run to achieve the proper slope for effective draining. He proceeded with re-doing the drain path and was done with the work within an hour. During this time, Steve took great care of ensuring that he left the serviced area better than it was when he arrived. He always wore shoe protectors and cleaned the area up great. I'm happy to report that, so far, this fix is working great. I hope for many more years of use out of this system.

Why 5 stars?

The customer service.
1. I got a call back on a holiday weekend within 30 minutes
2. The service tech was always polite and showed up on time (even called prior to showing up)
3. I was happy with the service. Ideally, it would have been nice if the issue was fixed the first time, but I'm still giving 5 stars because when I called back, they responded quickly and gave me a discount for the trouble.

Purchasing an A/C system is a big investment. You want to make sure you get an installer that will stand behind their work past the initial install. I'd recommend Bellows because they will have your back!

I had a bathroom sink with a minor leak, and called Wilmar to take a look. 2 plumbers came, they speak english, but didn't seem to speak fluently. but could communicate well enough. Did they fix the leak? Yes. They replaced the pop up assembly and applied silicone to the faucet. However, my sink is Venetian bronze and the replacement pop up assembly is chrome; they don't match and it looks ugly. The silicone applied is something you cannot see from afar, but notice if you inspect the faucet and countertop surface, and it's kinda ugly. I would hire a different plumber if I had a problem in the future.

Installed new water softener and reverse osmosis great service exceeded my expectations

I recently had a new soft water conditioner installed at my house. I called  Serv - All  because I have been a client of theirs for many years. They installed my previous conditioner approximately 16 years ago. My new unit was installed promptly and very professionally. No mess everything cleaned up nicely. I'm very pleased with the work and install. The technicians for Service - All and Water Quality are very professional, knowledgable and courteous. I would recommend Serv - All to anyone in this area.

A big Shout Out to Elmer R. From Discount Plumbing Inc. He help me fix my water heater!!! Elmer is very professional, knowledgeable and he answer all my questions. He also educated me on the maintenance of the water heater. A big 5 star to Elmer!!! Thank you

Excellent service. Reliable and reasonable. Friendly father & son team. Would highly recommend them.

Called Dave's Specialized Rooter & plumbing . For a leaking water heater, made and appointment he came same day to take care my old water heater . He was on time , he recommended for a new installation , I was happy to have my hot water back I will recommend  Dave's to all my friends and relatives he was clean and professional all the way to complete the work and going the extra mile to finish in the same day.

We have worked with Preferred several times and we always come back. Most recently, Michael repaired a broken pipe under our master bath sink. He built a creative solution and, when he needed extra parts, he still honored his original estimate. No upselling, professional quality and polite interaction. What more could you ask for?
