Best Businesses in California

Well, woke up this morning and guess what?? My (almost) brand new Kohler toilet was not doing well. It was running non-stop and the flush lever was all jiggly - no flush action whatsoever. After taking a look myself, I couldn't figure out what could be wrong. It's one of these newfangled toilets with the Class Five Flushing System and very unlike the old toilets I grew up with, so I was at a loss.

Since I just had knee surgery and am unable to climb stairs to the bathroom on the second floor, the operation of the first floor bathroom is of vital importance.

I called the husband home from work and he didn't see anything either, so around 9:30, I started calling plumbers in the area to see how fast they could get here. One said 4 pm - not good. Another said he'd check and call me back - I still haven't received that call. Another said it would take 4 hours for him to get here and it would be $200.00 - ouch!

Then I called Allstate Plumbing in Fremont. The guy who answered was very nice - not sure what his name was. He listened to my problem and said he could get someone out to my house within an hour - great! So he called back around 10 minutes later and said his guy was on his way and sure enough, 10 minutes later, an Allstate Plumbing truck was parked in front of the house. The plumber was a very nice young man - I think his name was Ron. Clean-cut and polite.

The good news is that he looked at the toilet and had it up and running in minutes! Apparently the chain was wrapped around something. All it took was some untangling and voila . . . The Class Five Flushing System was once again in full effect. Even better, they give a 25% discount to Yelpers!

It was a pretty easy fix, but neither my husband or I saw the problem, so I am just glad that we got it fixed so quickly and with a discount!

Prices are reasonable, service is fast and the plumbers are not scary-looking - all good things to have in a plumber. I hope not to have any plumbing issues in the future, but when I do, I'll call Allstate Plumbing!

Jorge came to fix my broken sink he was in and out in 15 minutes!! Ask for Jorge!!! Super helpful really nice guy!!! Thanks master plumbing!

My tenant reported a leak in the kitchen a couple of days ago. She refused to try shutting off the valve on her own so by the time my neighbor was able to take a look there was so much water he had no idea where it began. I reluctantly looked around on yelp for a plumber in the area. I sent out for multiple quotes and Luis was very prompt in getting back to me. His prices were very fair compared to the others. He came out the very next morning and diagnosed the problem. He even told me to have my neighbor replace the faucet for me since it would be cheaper. Since my neighbor was busy I had no choice but to call Luis back since my tenant was giving me a hard time. Luis came out today and replaced the faucet. The tenant is now happy and I am relieved.

I rarely review businesses and when I do it's because I'm pissed off. I was leery to see 5 star reviews for this business but now I can see why. Luis is an all around good, honest person. He's prompt and he shows up when he says he will. Contractors are known to be flaky so I really appreciated him working with me in my time of need.

Thank you so much Luis! I will definitely be calling you again if I ever run into any more plumbing issues.

Courteous, professional, quick to respond, and the price was very fair for the amount of work they did. We would not hesitate to call them again if we had any plumbing issues.

I called Norman during COVID-19 shelter in place regarding some electrical challenges that my partner encountered as he was adding an outlet in my home office. Norman was super kind and helpful. He offered to provide guidance and consultation to my partner over the phone or with FaceTime. He did this out of the generosity of his heart and declined compensation for his expertise and time. Norman is a really competent, generous and kind man!

Avalon is a super service organization.
Very professional and honest
They came on time and explained all our options

Smash has done 3 separate plumbing jobs at our house. The jobs all comprised of spigots outside our house, our toilet in the guest bathroom, and plumbing underneath our sink. There's a reason why we always come to Smash for our plumbing needs-- prices are reasonable, their response time is reliable, and the work is of high quality.

Great service, huge selection, very helpful, carries specialty items. I recommend for parts and fixtures.

Replaced our 6 year old water heater. Placed my trust on him based on all the wonderful yelp reviews.

Probably felt a little expensive, but I will give him the benefit of doubt. Happens a lot with our neighborhood.

Got everything done nice and clean.

Absolutely the only plumber I'll hire from now on. Mauro was generous with his time and his workers solved a difficult problem. Thank you

Been home during the lockdown with nothing to do. Decided to pick up a few projects to keep myself busy and they had everything I needed and they were open during the lockdown too which was a plus.

So super weird and sad experience.  We've been coming to Savior for many years and they have been our go-to plumber for all our needs.  5-star.  Affordable, honest and professional crew.  This last time was super weird though.  I don't know what to make of it and the only way I can make sense is that the plumber told the owner a completely different story than reality to cover his ass and the owner took his word.  

We had them come out to attend to a variety of plumbing issues we had.  One was that we had a small leak under our kitchen sink.  We have an RO system under that sink.  The plumber proceeded to break the valve on the tank and tell us the system was broken and old and basically said that valve wasn't his fault.  In fixing the leak he also ended up leaving a plumbing line disconnected and the cold water valve closed and left.  My wife couldn't turn the water back on and when I came home I discovered the cold water valve left off and turned it back on.  That's when the disconnected line starting spraying all inside the cabinet.  My wife calls them back to come back and fix the line that they disconnected (and we weren't happy they just left the cold water closed).  They ended up forcing us to pay a $75 visit fee to come back - for something they broke/left disconnected.  Since the RO system was now not operational because he broke that valve, we decided to go ahead and replace the RO system (it was 8 years old.  They are supposed to last 10-15 years.  Old yes.. decrepit to a point that touching the valve would destroy it, no).  As a gesture of fair play, we asked them to come back and replace the RO with a new one (which we bought) and all we asked was that they credit the $75 they charged us the last time for the return (for stuff they broke), and our only caveat is that we didn't want that same tech back again.  We weren't asking them to pay for the RO system.  We weren't asking for free installation of the new one.  We were just asking for a $75 credit for what we felt was an improper charge to come back the last time when they messed up and caused the mess.  

We thought this was a fair exchange.  They ended up saying they would refund the $75 but were firing us as customers and won't work with us again.  ???  Again, my only explanation to myself is that the tech told the owner a totally different story and the owner thinks he's doing right by this.  But they screwed up, charged us to fix their screwup (disconnected line, cold water valve closed when they should have been open, broken RO tank valve) and now fired us.  I'm not mad.  They were good to us for many years.  Just sad how this all ended.  We found another great plumber.  Life goes on.

I live in a house that's older than time with plumbing to match that has been done by some dudes who were doing all sorts of goofy things to make it work. So when we got a new sink I needed someone to hook up the plumbing for it as well as properly install a toilet that a previous contractor just sort of....set there.

The Fast Response guys came out (I don't remember their exact names - my apologies, but they were awesome) and looked at everything, gave me a quote then came back a few days later and got down to business. They gave me good feedback/info about how the plumbing was setup in this house for both the time period it was installed as well as the macgyvery stuff that people before did.

It was done super well and they stayed in the ballpark of the quote. I'd definitely recommend them for: speed/quality of response, speed/quality of work, and for price.

I sent text to Jeff and he immediately called me to setup same day appointment. He quoted a fair price and fixed my leaking kitchen sink by replacing my sink basket strainer and tailpipe. I will call Jeff for future plumbing needs and I would recommend his services to others!

He is uncertified licensed plumber which has no bonds, no warranty, and no profit to customer for any qualify taxes purpose.  Overall, be aware with this Bob Cowden, plenty others quality licensed plumbers out there.

We needed a gas line installed to our fireplace.  Wilver clearly understood and described what needed to be done.  He and his team completed the work quickly and they did a great job.   The price was fair too.  I highly recommend Wilver and Bay Area Plumbing, Rooter and Service.

Best ever!  No job too large or small. Quick response, reliable neat and tidy. Live these guys!

We hired Mark to fix up a variety of things around the home we just moved into, from wooden gates and fences in the yard, to loose cabinets in the kitchen, to seals around shower fixtures. Mark took care of it all efficiently and professionally. He also made very pragmatic, sensible suggestions that were a lot easier than what I initially thought was needed.

I'm happy with the quality of his work and with how he communicated with us and got the work done promptly. I'm glad to have found a reliable home repair person.
