Best Businesses in California

I just had a rather complex plumbing job completed by Allstate Plumbing. Their technician Abraham installed a Hydrocare-brand full-house water filtration and treatment system for me. I am attaching a photo of the finished installation as an illustration of just how meticulously the job was done. All that remains now is for me to have a handyman come and fabricate a protective enclosure for the finished project.

The work was completed so as to make the size of cabinet I'd need to be as small as possible. I was delighted by the high quality of the finished work.

I got a new apartment in Santa Clara recently but, unfortunately, the toilet was far from new. It was emitting a high pitched sound from the fill valve where it meets the refill tube unless I messed with the float and turned it a degree and the the tank lever would stay elevated causing it to run constantly unless I pushed the handle all the way back up because the internal part of the handle wouldn't go all the way down. I put in a maintenance request after the holidays on Sunday night and didn't know what to expect as in the past landlords have been a mixed bag when it comes to repairs. You'd half expect an unlicensed contractor armed with a roll of duct tape from some of them.

I got a call the morning after I put in my work order between 8-8:30 am from Master Plumbing, I believe her name was Julie, and I scheduled a time for when I'd be home this past Friday. I scheduled it for 8:30 am. If you ever dealt with Comcast or AT&T  you know to add anywhere from 15 minutes to 5 hours to the appointment time.

Friday rolls around, I'm up early to wait and setup my work laptop then to my surprise Jorge showed up around 8:30 am. Might have even been early according to my clock. He introduced himself and we shook hands, he put shoe covers on before coming in and I explained  the issues to him while walking to the bathroom. I left him to inspect it and do the dye test.

The toilet internals were in pretty bad shape and had been through many repairs before so he determined the best option was to pull it. He called to have a new toilet delivered and went around knocking on the doors of all my neighbors to let him know the water would be off for a short time. He then shut off the water, pulled the toilet asking me to open the door but a piece of the the toilet fell off the bottom onto the carpet. I was going to pick it up but he told me not to touch it, it was dirty, he came back for it after setting down the toilet outside and marked it with a napkin saying he'd come back to clean it and don't move the napkin. Makes sense, who knows what bacteria it had on it.

He also had to deal with my upset neighbor's cousin who didn't respond to the knocks and kept saying he had to take a shower before he went to work. It was 9 something in the morning at this time. He still dealt with him in a calm and respectful manner and let him know it'd be about 20-30 minutes. He explained to me that the new toilet would be elongated instead of like the round one I had which I was fine with as long as property management approved.

After his colleague delivered a new toilet he unboxed it, cleaned up all the packaging and sent them to get a toilet seat that fit it while he installed it. He disinfected and scrubbed the area of carpet where a piece had fallen. His colleague brought the toilet seat and installed it and I had a new, better looking toilet with a very short but effective flush and using way less water.

All in all I think it took probably took two hours. It was done before lunch time. It was a pleasant surprise and gave me more confidence that I made a good decision to rent this place. I'll probably need them again soon as the old shower seems to have started slowly dripping but at least I'll know what to expect.

We'd asked Luis to come take a look at one a house we have in Tracy.  It was leaking from the toilet upstairs to the kitchen ceiling downstairs.  He did his job & no problem ever since.  Thank you Luis.

I had called Master Plumbing first because last time Alfred Williams had a longer lead time and I was able to get someone from Master Plumbing right away.  But this time Master Plumbing said their soonest appointment was almost a week away.  So I called Alfred Williams and gave them the details of my problem (a hard to find leak under the kitchen sink), and they said someone would call me back to schedule an appointment.

Within a few minutes, Steve called me back and said he had a cancellation so could be over in 20 minutes.  He examined all around the underside of the sink, tried filling up the sink and letting it drain, used the garbage disposal, tried splashing water on the countertop, basically went through all the paces, but couldn't find anything that would have caused a leak.  (The leak is very intermittent, and we only see the result when there is a small puddle of water under the sink, but there are no water stains on the walls or pipes).  He finally said he wasn't able to see anything that could cause the leak and told us we'll just have to keep an eye on it.

We did find that there was a small amount of water that seemed to seep in through the faucet fixture, but Steve didn't believe it was enough to be causing the leak. But he said in order to fix it, it might be better to replace the entire faucet for a new one since he would have to remove the whole thing to putty it up anyway, and it wouldn't guarantee that the leak would be fixed.

We told him we would think about it for a day, so he scheduled us in for an appointment in two days (when he would have time to do the job) and told us we could call him the next day to cancel if we changed our mind.

I asked him how much I owed him for today's visit, and he said no charge.

Steve also helped us a few years ago when our garbage disposal started leaking.  He replaced it with a new one, and also fixed a few other nagging things around the house to fill out the 1 hour minimum.  He has always been very nice to work with and seems very honest and conscientious.  We would gladly recommend him to others and plan on continuing to use him for our needs as well!

Norman came out to assess our broken sprinkler head situation. Even though we ended up not needing any help (my husband fiddled around and fixed them enough so that they worked well) he was so nice and didn't charge for anything -- it's great to know we have a contact for a handyman that we know is honest.

Avalon plumbing did a great job. They were quick throughout the process, and that's the best when your toliet won't flush. Came to my home, figured out the issue, and got it solved. The owner is a great person to deal with. Very knowledgeable and fun to talk with made the whole experience better.
Can't say enough for this great company.

I was in a pinch, my regular plumber was not available and I had to get a shower valve replaced. My regular plumber, who has been a plumber for decades, recommended Matt, and I do too. He was quick to respond, did quality work, and charged a fair price. It's a big deal for a plumber to be responsive, for obvious reasons, and Matt was every time I have called on him. Since the shower valve, Matt has fixed a pinhole leak and replaced a hot water heater and his service and skills as a plumber are remarkable. I highly recommend Smash Plumbing.

I am normally an internet shopper since I never feel there is a value add in fixture stores, however the folks at powder room have completely turned me around.  They were so helpful as I was working on my kitchen remodel.  When we start the bathroom remodel, I will absolutely start by coming to the powder room when I am ready for fixtures!  Great selection, fast delivery and helpful feedback.  Thank you powder room!

I had a leaky bath tub faucet. Within 15 mins they were at my front door ready to fix the problem. They did the job extremely quickly and without any complaints or hassles. The guy also had the part on hand so he didn't need to order it or pick it up. I was pretty impressed great service and I highly recommend them.

It's Thursday night after a long day at work. Came home  to water and stuff coming up through the downstairs shower again. Those darn roots in the sewer line were at it again!!  Called the plumber  I've been using ...booked until Monday.  Called his referral, also booked!! He, in  turn, said Mauro's Plumbing had great reviews on Yelp. Called Mauro this morning, who responded immediately. I described my problem, was at my house within 30 minutes, took care of the problem with his assistant. Done!!  Courteous, on time, competent and price was absolutely reasonable. This is what service is supposed to be like. Fantastic...will refer to all my El Cerrito neighbors!!

Any supplies you need they have. I literally went in for one thing and came out buying a bunch of stuff I needed thanks guys

We have used them several times over the past few years for our water filtration system to our bathroom remodel. They have a great eye for detail and do excellent work. We never have to worry about the quality of the work because it is always stellar. We especially love Darrell who has come out to us the most. He's very easy to communicate with in terms of our needs and he's just the sweetest and kindest guy. We love working with Savior and will keep using them.

Had a problem with the drain pipe out of the house. Called Fast Response, and within a couple hours they were out. Snaked the pipe, and we're all good here. Prompt, got the job done quickly: highly recommended.

In Demand Plumbing was great. They were on time + very curtious;  I even got a 30 minute call before he got there. Jeff, the owner was the repair guy. He was very polite and even took off his shoes when he came in with out me even asking. He did the whole job in his socks (awesome). He stayed untill the problem was fixed and even though they're a small company there was no rush for him to get the job done. We chose this company because of the great reviews here on yelp.

We hired Bob several times for plumbing concerns.  He did a decent job on small jobs and was reasonablely priced.  Then, mysteriously, he just did not return calls, didn't follow through as he said he would, and never would explain his actions (or lack of action) to us.  We finally gave up and found another plumber who was better, reliable, and gave senior discounts.  We were actually never really sure if Bob Cowden was a licensed plumber as he never put a license or a number on his billing.

Great job to fix my clogged kitchen drain on a raining Sunday morning. Really appreciate.

Bart provided great, timely service, and a bit of education. Highly recommended.

Mark is organized, efficient and neat and tidy - what a relief to find a great handyman for all those fixes around the house that we don't have the time or expertise to take care of!  Mark is honest too because he identified what does and doesn't need a big repair, and offered helpful suggestions. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and plan on having him return soon for a few more repair items.
