Best Businesses in California

I'm an old dude, but I have to say that the Pipe Spy crew rocks. Ray came out to our house and unclogged our sewer lateral after another company was unable to take care of the problem. He then did a camera inspection and soon identified where the problem was located. Apparently the company that the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District hired to relocate the sewer main on our property did not do an adequate job of connecting our existing lateral to the new line, thus allowing significant root intrusion. I couldn't believe how quickly the crew excavated a 8 foot deep trench without using an excavator-- all by hand-- and installed a new sewer line. They completed the job in one day, and my yard and landscaping looked completely undisturbed. Although Pipe Spy was not the lowest price, their price was fair. All-in-all, I am very pleased with Pipe Spy and I highly recommend them.

Most irresponsible and unethical company I've ever worked with. Decieded to install ac unit with them after receiving quote and in house consultation. During the consultation, we specifically asked questions on proper location for the condenser so it is within regulation. But after installation, we were told the condenser is NOT at the correct location, the distance from the wall is not in cordinance within the city's regulation). When we contacted Pacific Coast, the rep said since we didn't have them apply the city permit, he didn't bother to pay attention on that part. The company refused to respond to our emails or correct this mistake. Never resolved the issue. Plus, we asked for a powerful yet low noise unit, the one they installed is not only loud but not efficient for our house.

Please stay away from this company. This outfit is unprofessional and downright rude. Awful customer service or lack of it. Our water heater was recently replaced by this god awful company. The water heater need to be strapped down due to the placement of the water heater. After agreeing that holes will be drilled for the support straps the installer drilled holes into the wall without using a stud finder tool. Of course he hit a water pipe causing a leak. The pipe was repaired however there is now a hole in our drywall that was not patched and repaired. A call was made and a very disgruntled employee answered the phone. None of my suggestions or complaints were accepted by this god awful employee. Fowl language is all he knows. Our drywall should be replaced. Please stay away from this outfit. Again awful customer service and down right rude personnel.

Today we had Jared, the owner of Answer Plumbing over to our home to install a new kitchen sink faucet and to fix a problem with our toilet in basement.
Five stars to this extremely conscientious plumber!!!
He came recommended to us from a neighbor......we would like to pass on the recommendation to others looking for a experienced tradesmen to do a great job!

Came into fix a toilet that kept running after the tank was filled. Did a great job, replacing all the internal components and was in n out in less than 30 mins. Toilet runs great now, definitely would recommend for future plumbing needs.

Cesar unclogged our kitchen sink and also fixed our dishwasher hose while he was at it. I highly recommend him and will be going to him for future projects.

He arrived in less than 10 minutes. Gave a reasonable quote before he started, then went straight to fixing the badly clogged sink right away and fixed it, found another problem and fixed that too (related to plumbing as well) all in less than 2 hours
Thanks Quality Plumbing dude

I found Max to fix a couple of leaky toilets. Not only did he complete the job timely and thoroughly, but he stayed on hand and completed other various tasks that needed completion throughout the entire house timely, professionally, and with very reasonable prices. His competence and motivation in his work is prevalent through his craftsmanship and he is also quite the gentlemen. 10 out of 10 would recommend to a friend.

Brent Daniels is amazing. We were having a leak and we thought it was from the water heater. Brent came in evaluated. He said it wasn't the water heater so he took the extra step to figure out where our leak was coming from. I recommend Brent anytime. He was so friendly and kind as well
Keep up the great work Brent !!!!

When our on demand water heater died on a Saturday night I reached out to The Drummer plumber and he responded that evening. We had a new water heater the next day after he found a compatible model for the size specific opening. He then followed up by co reacting Noritz to ensure that the electronic control for water heater was working properly.

Loosing hot water with two little kids at home is not easy. The Drummer Plumber really cared and helped us through the situation.

Bob was very flexible with scheduling my back flow test.  He was prompt and was also very efficient  with his time (and mine).  He filed all the necessary paperwork for me and sent me a copy via e-mail.  The guy is quite knowledgeable and even offered advice on an unrelated problem I had which proved very helpful.  
I recommend AAA Backflow 100%.

Christmas is coming and this guy is as creative and tasteful as a handyman is concerned.
He hung up all the decoration and helped me solve the problem of the lights not being long enough. He somehow connected my unused existing cable together.
Very good service. You won't regret hiring him.

Responsive and did a great job! They answered a late night request for help and came the next morning. Would hire them again!

Tuesday night, 9 PM, new home in new town where we don't know much of anyone...kitchen sink clogs.  No way to use dishwasher, garbage disposal, or even sink.  Unhappy family; unhappy me.  So....

First thing Wednesday morning, use Yelp to find plumbers near my zip code.  First guy I call can't be here until Friday (!) but recommends George Salet Plumbing, so I call them next.  Receptionist is awesome, says someone can be on site by noon...then calls back 15 min later to say the guy is already on his way and should arrive by 10:30.  Which is to say, only about 30 minutes after I called!

And, indeed, Steve appears at my door at 10:30.  He diagnoses the problem, clearly explains my options, no pressure, etc.  I chose which option I wanted, and he took care of it meticulously and professionally--and cleaned up when he was done.  Plus he was personable and friendly, the kind of person I don't mind having in my home.  Excellent work!

Are they inexpensive?  No, they're not.  But this is the SF bay area, and their employees have to live in this insanely-expensive place along with the rest of us.  I figure I got what I paid for, which makes me a happy customer.  I'll gladly do business with them again.  Use them with no reservations...highly recommended!

I contacted this company to put in a new water heater. A few weeks after they installed it I noticed that they had left a gap with the pipe coming out of the water heater to the ceiling. Which I knew wasn't right. We had P. G. and E come out to look at it. The P.G.and E worker told us gas had been escaping into our house because of this. When I told the owner he needed to finish the job he refused. We had to have another plumber come out to finish the job. I would suggest picking any other company over this one. Left my family's health at risk, unbelievable.

Mejia's Plumbing Service replaced tubing that carried water to my ice box. Rene, owner also installed a small facet which will allow me to turn off the water supply to my refrigerator, if needed.  As soon as Rene completed the installation, I was able to drink water from the door of my refrigerator.  Additionally, after so many hours had pasted, my ice maker started making ice again.  I was very pleased with the excellent service of Mejia's Plumbing, in that, Rene presented himself professionally when interacting with me; he explained what he had to do to fix the problem; he completed the repair in a reasonable amount of time and he made sure that water flowed from the refrigerator prior to leaving.  If you are looking for a dependable and skilled plumber, I encourage you to contact the Mejia's Plumbing Company.  You won't be disappointed.

Nicest guy ever, friendly, chatty and gives lots of advice to landlords, and I'm sure very knowledgeable -- but couldn't, after a few hours, quite diagnose an issue with a really old clogged kitchen.

Lots of uncertainty and then a bit of chatter unrelated to the issue. Truly, a nice guy, so he gets the benefit of the doubt.

I realize that plumbing issues are complicated, but it was still rough to not have my sink fixed, especially after he told me and I saw how hard he was working.

Thank you for trying, Meier.

Commando Plumbing just completed a small job for me. They were very fast, price-competitive, the work was done well, and most important, they diagnosed the problem correctly! Before Commando, two very highly-rated plumbers had mis-diagnosed the problem to be much more serious (and expensive) than it turned out to be.

I'm very happy and relieved that I called Commando. I will call them first next time.

Called in the morning, it was fixed by 3:00 that afternoon!!
Kevin was efficient and very friendly!!
Thank you.

Dominic did an excellent job. He was careful, and thorough. We had a toilet that was stuck running and needed a new regulator but the shutoff valve from the wall was also broken. He found three problems, took the time to move the whole toilet aside to do a good job, and the estimate stayed the same price.
