Best Plumbing Services in California
The second time around, not upset it took two days, not upset it leaked, but what I was upset about was two things, one I am forbidden to mention as my source does not want this story to be told, but it solidified I hired the wrong human. The second issue which I can recount, is the cost was 856.84 thereabout for one faucet and the plumbing under the two cast iron sinks. Once you go past a certain price, you legally have to have a contractors license, and the scalping was over the legal limit. I read with great interest that the DA is closing in on unlicensed renegades over charging. I am sad to report this. As many one stars I give, I never like doing it, but at times it has to be done.
When is a contractor's license required in California? According to state law, it is illegal for an unlicensed contractor to advertise as being licensed

I called Xtreme plumbing because of a leak and possible back/up in the kitchen sink. Michael came 20 min later, he was thoughtful, took his time to understand what was going on. He fixed the leak and after troubleshooting realized there was no need to snake the drain thereby saving us money. Excellent service!

It's s small business with 2 great young guys. Jason is the boss. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Tony, the second guy, seems newer on the job but does a great job, and doesn't complain.
I had 3 things to fix: 2 toilets and one sink. I forgot to move my stuff out of the way, under the sink, and Tony had no problem to work like this. When I saw I immediately moved the mess out of the way and he was so nice thanking me and saying that I didn't need to do it. Even it was my fault he did everything possible to not make me fell like a jerk.
They explained me what else was wrong and made recommendations what to do. The installation was old and not safe. Jason had to go and buy stuff for things that were not in plan to be done. Still the job continued to move along and all was done as planned in 1.5 hours, everything at a very affordable price.
I had the other sink done by a different guy which charged me more and took him 1.5 hours just for that.
I have to say that first second I saw them at the door with the tattoos and saggy pants I got scared, but the next second after they recommended themselves, shook my hand, covered their shoes and start working... my jaw dropped. They are very very polite, clean, professional and ready to go the extra mile to help, make recommendations and be sure the customer is happy.
I'm a man so the most important thing for me was the great job they did, and that they did it in time and at affordable price, but I think that the ladies will be impressed of those 2 gentlemen behavior, too.

It was Saturday evening and I knew I had a real problem - so much so I had to shut off the water at the meter. Not expecting to be able to find anyone to help at that hour, I was encouraged to find that The Plumbing Company was 'open' and Judy called me back within 10 minutes.
Phil showed up at the house at 8a on Sunday morning right on time - just the smiling, friendly face you want to see when you have what could be a major repair. How could he be so happy to be here this early on a Sunday? He patiently listened as I explained what happened and then methodically started to diagnose the problem. Within 30 minutes, he had figured out what happened, established a workaround, and had the house back on the water line (insert happy family cheers here). All this for a rate that was, well, unbelievable.
I highly recommend The Plumbing Company for any plumbing related need and will certainly be calling them again when needed in the future.

We had to get hammock chair fixed indoors on my ceiling for my kid. I reached out to Nikolai, he was very responsive. Showed up and was able to get the job done on time and professionally. I'm planning to call him back for some other work at home as well.

Two reviews in one for Allstate.
My first experience with them was several months ago. I have a cottage in my back yard with its own water heater, and I discovered a small gas leak in the attached pipe. The heater closet also needed to be rebuilt, so I called Allstate to fix the pipe and remove the heater. Kevin came by and did a fine job, but after he left I realized that I needed to have another section of the pipe removed before I could rebuild the closet. It was totally my fault, but after I called Allstate again and explained the situation, he came back and removed the other section of pipe free of charge.
Then last Saturday, my old heater for the main house stopped working. It was time to replace it anyway, so I called Allstate and requested Kevin. He came out with a heater, but before he arrived I received an email with the results of an energy audit that had been completed the month before. It was a crazy coincidence, and the report suggested a different kind of heater than Kevin was bringing. When he arrived just a few minutes later, I was confused about what to do. He was very nice about it, called his company to discuss it and even waited while I researched it a little bit. I finally decided to hold off on the decision, so Kevin left but I was having real regrets because I was still without hot water.
About a half hour later - and remember this is on a Saturday - Jeff from Allstate called, and talked to me about various heater options (tankless in particular). We decided together it wasn't worth the extra expense, so I decided to go ahead with a traditional tank. This time, Jeff came out and did the installation, and did an outstanding job. He installed some more modern pipes on the top of the heater for no extra charge, and when he noticed that the plumbing hadn't been properly bonded to the gas lines, he corrected that also. We had a really good conversation and he gave me the names of a few other contractors (electrical, etc.) because of how hard it is to find good people who care about their work.
Jeff and Kevin both belong on that list of people who care. Both of these situations were complicated by my own mistakes and indecision, but in both cases Allstate was extremely patient and helpful. Thanks Allstate, and thanks Jeff and Kevin.

2000 Warm Springs Ct, Ste 2, Fremont, CA 94539
We had an almost identical problem as described in the Yelp review by Jessa P on 11/2/2017. The main water line to our building is copper and it broke. The copper line connects a few feet past where it broke to a PVC water line that goes to the city line. MP had to jackhammer the concrete and excavate about 8 feet down to repair the copper pipe. With overtime and replacing the concrete it cost us about $15,000. 6 months or so later the same line broke where the copper pipe connects to the PVC pipe. Specifically the PVC fitting was cracked where it connects to the copper pipe. Master Plumbing provided no warranty and we paid full price to repair the line and replace the concrete. Total cost was about $9,000 for the 2nd repair because I learned from the first repair to have MP do the work during normal hours at straight time. On balance though Master Plumbing otherwise has been pretty good for clearing blockages and they replaced about a 40 foot section of sewer pipe that was not sloped correctly. So far no problems with that pipe. No plumbing company is perfect, but on balance I think Master Plumbing is pretty good despite our experience with the broken water line where we think they should have at least provided some warranty and maybe offered to split the cost. That would have been fair and decent.

Needed a plumber today and Luis responded within minutes of my request for a quote to fix a garbage disposal. He got the job taken care of quickly and was super nice and very professional. I will definitely go back to him again and highly recommend LM Plumbing.

We need a help to replace our kitchen faucet and I called because I saw the great reviews on yelp. Norman picked up my call and sent out a follow up email immediately. He immediately make a visit to do a free inspection. Then he promptly sent out the estimated cost.
It was a little bit more expensive than our budget, so we tried to fix the faucet as much as we can. Yet in the end we still need some help.
So Norman made another free inspection, and when he can't do the job, he sent Ray to us. Ray finally able to solve our problem with the little rusty stripped screw and charge reasonably!

Will and his team were really exceptional and even though this was a job that threw some really difficult circumstances at them, they came through with great work and were friendly, communicative and professional throughout.
We had to replace a huge sewer lateral that wrapped halfway around the building with multiple turns. It went under a nice finished concrete patio and he was able to sawcut just one clean hole to access the 90 degree under the patio. I expected some cracks at the edges or some sawcut lines and there were none at the end. He also had to take up an extremely old brickwork path and they carefully laid the same bricks back down at the end. It was like they were never there. Totally exceeded my expectations.
We also had a schedule snafu that forced his crew to work on site at the same time as some electricians *and* another excavator and they couldn't use the driveway yet still everyone got along great and even my other contractors had kinds words about these guys at the end too.
Definitely exceeded expectations and I definitely recommend.

We bought some new faucets and a garbage disposal and after looking at the installation instructions, decided to turn to the professionals! Aaron came to our house within a couple of hours of our call, and had all three items installed within a couple of hours. He was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and we will call this company again for any plumbing needs.

Our 20 year old Grohe shower was dripping. I was afraid because of the age, we'd have to tear out the wall to replace the discontinued temperature valve and stops. By phone, the Powder Room was able to identify the parts needed by my texting pictures. They arranged for Thornes Plumbing to come out with the correct parts and everything was fixed. The single handle shower valve now works as smoothly and easily as new. Very nice and professional people.

I found Raheb on Yelp. He came out and fixed a shower leak I had. He explained everything in a very professional way and took care of the situation quickly. I will definitely recommend him to others in need..
San Jose, CA 95123
Mauro came the same day we called, which was a Saturday, and installed our new toilet and sink (with cabinet) in our newly remodeled half bath. He was on time, very kind and straight to the point. I liked that he assessed the situation quickly, ran to the local hardware store to get the parts that we needed, and addressed all of the tasks without a hitch. Mauro works quickly, but is willing to take a moment at any point in the project to explain what he's doing. He even came back the next day to fix a related, yet unrelated leak int the basement! We've found our new plumber and will call him for all future projects and emergencies.
El Cerrito, CA 94530
Wow! Rented a large tool from this place and what a different experience than Home Depot. No wait, brand new equipment, really friendly service. And the price was amazing - $75 for a stump grinder that Home Depot charges $138 for (although this may be limited time pricing since they have a sign saying 50% off). Still - they made it so easy to rent from them that even if it was a little more I'd still be happy. I'm definitely coming back.
769 W A St, Ste 1, Hayward, CA 94541
I needed a faucet replaced. Tammy handled the call professionally and scheduled me promptly. Dave installed the faucet quickly and did a very good job. The whole process from first phone call to job done was painless and smooth. They also charged reasonable rates for labor. I highly recommend Savior.
