Best Businesses in California

So thankful to have found Oakland Rooter & Plumbing! We had a bad clog and back up in our shower that needed urgent attention on a Sunday. They were super responsive and sent someone out that same afternoon. Marco was very kind, professional, and super efficient. He took care of the clog quickly and the price was great. So glad to have a local plumbing service that we can trust!

Julio was remarkable! He replaced my water softener and in doing so showed a creativity and ingenuity to complete the job well. I purchased a smaller than previous unit and the shorter height caused a problem with the connectors. The longest (24) pipes were too short to reach the new unit. The picture shows how he solved the issue. I was able to save money and avoid the trouble of having to return the new unit for a larger one that I don't need.

I've used Vlad for 3 different tasks in my home- changing water softener, fixing an outdoor tap, and swapping a kitchen faucet. He has been very efficient in all these tasks, and completed them to our satisfaction. He doesn't over-promise and under-deliver. He is straightforward in his estimates and evaluating the actual problem and commits only to things he can do properly. Would highly recommend him.

I browsed through many of the low ratings here and they all seem to be from people who didn't get enough time from him like he didn't seem to have time to listen  or complaints that he didn't do additional work or provide additional parts or blamed him for failure of a replacement part.

I've had 2 excellent experiences with this company-- the first with a water heater replacement still going strong many years later with no issue.  The second was a problem with a leaking upstairs shower that I thought was leaking inside the wall.  He came out and was able to diagnose the problem which I felt I could solve myself.  He didn't even charge for the visit and education.  He's got my business for the next plumbing issue that's sure to pop up as my house nears 50 years old.

I am beyond picky and have very high expectations when I call someone to help with any kind of work on my home. We've used Good Guys twice now and both times I've been beyond impressed. The last job we had, I was out of town and we needed an emergency water heater replacement. Adam is the only person I could imagine calling to do a job like that and know without a doubt the work will be right, thorough, and better than I could have imagined. I have 100% confidence in calling him for any plumbing needs knowing he will go above and beyond in the quality of work and attention to detail.

Pricing feels messy and arbitrary.

I had a problem with my garbage disposal which just didn't work at all and made no sound so I called these guys for help.

When I called on the phone the lady said that there was an $80 fee just for the visit which seemed a little expensive to me. She also told me that the $80 would be taken from the total cost of the repair... so it was probably not so bad. I figured if the fix was very simple the cost would probably be less than $80 and that's all.

Now the guy who came by to fix my problem was very knowledgeable and a nice guy overall. There was a rubber band stuck in the garbage disposal device that he was able to remove easily and then with the push of a button reset the device. He even showed me how to do this myself in the future because it was indeed very simple.

So I asked if it was covered by the $80 and he said it was going to be $100.

I explained that I was asking because they told me that the $80 we're taken from the cost of the repair and at that point I wasn't very sure about what the actual cost of the repair was and how those $80 fit in.

And here's the funny thing. The guy tells me that basically they charge $140 for pretty much any fix but in my case since it was ver simple it was only going to be $110 (he had said $100 minutes ago).

So basically he had just raised my bill by $10 with no apparent reason.

So I just shut my mouth before he raised another $10 and sent him off.

Our water heater went kaput over the weekend. We used Frank's a couple of times in the past few years for far more simpler items with no problems so we decided to use them again. I called right away at 8am, when they opened on Monday, and the guy who answered, Jim, was as friendly and as professional as they come. He gave me the flat, all-inclusive fee that I would expect to pay and he was able to fit me in that day. He then gave me a two-hour window of when to expect the guy to arrive, which he did. They use a plumbing industry brand water heater (Bradford White) that comes with a 6-year warranty. The unit was probably not the cheapest (or the most expensive), but that wasn't what I was going for. What I did get was worry-free, ease-of-mind service which Joel provided. He was awesome. Since our water heater is located inside our house, he took great care not to damage our newly laid out wood floors and tile. They were quick, and cleaned up everything as they went along. Would definitely recommend Frank's for your full-service plumbing needs.

First time calling a plumber to unclog my sink, usually I can do it myself but I lack the necessary tools to do it. Luckily, Awais and Mohammed was quick and efficient on getting to my house to unclog it! They are a couple nice guys and I highly recommend them if anyone needs a plumber .

Water in the toilet tank was slow filling up. Made a call yesterday and Matt showed up today. Quick fix for him. Quick service. Friendly and very high customer service. Very reasonable cost. We appreciate you, Matt!

I highly recommend.  Second time using Matt Plumbing and will use every time we need it.

Mike at Oak Plumbing arrived on schedule and was able to resolve the problem within a few minutes. He was very professional, respectful, efficient and clean. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to others!

Dmitruy was courteous and professional. Assessed the leaky toilet issue, got the parts he needed and fixed it! After a week I can still report he must fixed the correct part. No leaky toilet.

We have called Simm's many times over the past few years. They have always provided the best service I could hope for. Today we woke up with a ruptured water heater. They worked with us to accomplish this without any disruption in our schedule. Every time we have called them they have responded in a very timely manner. The work is always done to the highest quality and cost effectively. And they are so pleasant. We will never use any other plumber.

Wish there was less then one star -Van(is the owner I think )  calls promptly but is extremely rude . does he realize he is talking to customers ? all I asked was the cost for the job and he yelled at us over the phone !!  please avoid

Awesome crew! Quick to respond to call, efficient, courteous and knowledgeable  on how to solve the situation. Diego made sure everything was running properly before leaving.
Highly recommended.

Woke up after Christmas to see that our water heater was leaking all over the garage. Called Bailey Plumbing and had someone at my house in 30 minutes. Got my water heater replaced along with piping and no hassle. Thank you to Elijah for your expertise and help.

I have used Kenny for years.  He has done work in our previous house, installing a water heater and garbage disposer.  The house that I now live in had all the plumbing redone by Kenny and his staff.  Kenny even installed a warm water spigot outside for washing our dog.  He has always been very timely with the work that needed to done.  A couple of months ago when I needed a new water heater I gave him a call.  He was over in a couple of hours and checked the heater out and went over the pro's and con's of different types of heaters.  He said he was busy but had a trustworthy plumber that could do it right away.  That guy was great.  Highly recommend Kenny Rogers.

Axel and Oscar were on time and were two of the most professional plumbers I have ever dealt with!  Honest about all the work being performed and no surprises.  I would highly recommend this crew for any of your plumbing needs!  Thank you for your efforts!

I usually do not write reviews on yelp, but our experience with Royal Plumbing warrants one.

We had a complete drain clog at our home, affecting both the kitchen sink and the washing machine. I called Joseph and he came within 30 minutes of getting my call.

We've had this problem a few times before in the last couple of years and the plumbers whom I'd worked with previously were nowhere as diligent as Joseph. He proceeded to investigate the issue step by step, and it turns out we were dealing with two separate pipe clogs which happened together! He was able to figure this out because he took the trouble to go all the way across the house in the crawl space. None of the plumbers who'd visited earlier did that and only fixed part of the problem, which is why the issue kept coming back.

He explained the whole process to me along the way in detail. He even asked me if I wanted to accompany him into the crawl space to learn more, which I was happy to do. I felt I had a much better understanding of my home's plumbing system by the end of the day :)

It was clearly an emergency for us but Joseph did not try and take advantage of the situation and was very reasonably priced. As another example, we saw a leak in the drain pipe in the crawl space, but gave us his honest opinion that it is not in urgent need of repair and it can wait a year.

I'd call him again without any hesitation for any plumbing needs!

Chris was very personable let us know of any problems we may have in the future took a ton of pictures which is great for us because we live out of state. Replace our shower cartridge that was leaking. All is good would recommend for sure.

No knowledge of fixing hot water heater at all.
We have paid $125 first trip +$200 second trip to 99 Dollars plumbing
But they didn't solve the problem on no hot water coming out.
We end up have it repaired by a handyman who replaced the burner.
The burner was provided by Rheem warranty program.
The handyman we hired said, it should  be easy to read red lights on the control valve which tells you which part may be the problem .
There was No formal invoice
No repair description on the receipt
