Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

These guys are pros.  They run a great business...show up on time, properly equipped, clean up any messes made and charge a fair rate for their services.  I highly recommend them!

We just had Justin out again to switch us over to tankless. He reinforced what we already knew...this company is awesome!

As you can see from my past review, we had Justin out last year for a pressure valve issue. While he was here, he said, When that water heater goes, consider a tankless. He had me at instant, unlimited hot water.

We had him out again last week to switch to tankless. These guys are amazing. He was at our house from 9am-6pm, which gives you time to get to know someone. He loves his job SO much and the joy it brings him is really great to see. Tankless installs are my favorite jobs! and I basically get paid to play with legos all day!  He had to deal with gas lines, water, electricity, drilling holes through stucco (eeek!) and everything was perfect. He even added extra things for free because I want it to be the best and I want you to be happy. After it was done he said, Can I show you both how fast you get hot water in the upstairs bathroom? My customer's reaction is my favorite part of the day!

He had to return yesterday for a pretty significant switch to one of the drainage lines, which was not a result of his original work. Our house is just dumb. Right on time, as always, quick, efficient and fixed the problem. Hours of work...for free!

If you need a plumber, this is the one you want! Ask for Justin Vincent for your tech. Great guy.

We will never use anyone else.

We used Collins first for a plumbing inspection before buying our home and then later for work we wanted done on a number of plumbing projects.  Gilbert, our technician was always punctual and helpful. They installed without problem a toilet that another highly-rated plumber said they could not install.  I will also note that they honored their original quote for some work that they later concluded they had under-bid.  We will use them again.

Class act all around!  We had a major slab leak that needed immediate attention and had heard about Core Plumbing from friends so we called them. They were extremely helpful, showed up right away, did a complete assessment, educated us on options and gave us a very fair price. We got an estimate from a competitor and it was way more than what Core Plumbing had quoted us. The work was scheduled and done quickly and very high quality.  Their team is courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to make sure we knew what was needed to be done and did an excellent job of completing it. They even pointed out a couple of minor things, not related to the leak, that should be taken care of and they did them for us. This was not a small leak by any means but they made us feel like it was by taking care of all that needed to be done. I think this all starts with the owner, Don. He is very friendly, reasonable, and truly wants to help his customers and not just try to sell you services. I now have a company to go to with any plumbing need that I have and certainly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great plumbing company.

Thank you Don and the team for doing a great job!

Had a toilet overflow and flood my house!  
I needed advise and Debbie was so helpful and honest!  She was the second plumbing company I call based on a referral!  They were half the price of the first and came out the next day!  I chose to get a new toilet and Justin picked it up for me at Home Depot will call!  What a nice man he was!  He installed in fast and even helped carry rugs out that needed to be cleaned! 5 Star Plumbing is a perfect example of small businesses that make America Great!  Also one of the few examples of a honest trade just doing the best for the customer!  I can't thank them enough!

While they were not able to help me right away (they were booked up due to the holiday), they recommended another company that was able to come out right away and find my water main leak.

I really like when a company is willing to do that. It shows that they understand my situation and are willing to help me even if they don't get the business.

I will contact them again when I need their services.

Manny is the real deal. We had some major issues with our plumbing and were not happy with the guys we had initially helping us out. We had three other companies come out for estimates. Manny was the only one who took the time to scope out all aspect of our plumbing. He was easy to get in touch with and was on sight for all major aspects of the process. Highly recommend their services.

So I've never written two reviews on Yelp for the same business, and don't know where else to post review stuff anymore besides yelp(lol). But I can't say ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS BUSINESS.
FRIENDLY- and beyond. These guys will spend however long in your home being super communicative, engaging and nice. Total opposite of the weird creepy feeling you get when you have a stranger in your home that's suddenly searching through your bathroom kitchen toilet etc (ie wierd personal places)
Responsive  this is the second time I've called with a last minute fiasco and they were able to come out that day without crazy double time fees. ALSO HUGE BONUS AND FIRST TIME EVER- I had a a 11-1pm arrival window. They showed up at 10:50 (that has NEVER HAPPENED).
Pricing - while their rates have gone up since the last time they did any work- so have everyone else's. And they are still beyond competitive and better than the other business my building uses that screws u over every time (rhymes with plumbing tree).
I live in an old building that is a pain to maintain in every way imaginable, so when one finds a plumber electrician or hvac that is honest affordable reliable AND nice- PRICELESS
DONT LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE

I had just moved into my new house and I knew that there was a slight leak under the house.  Jose came out and he inspected the leak right on the stop and did even charge me with the $200 fee to do this.  He took a lot of time to explain to me what the issue was and his suggestion to fix it.  The communication was just excellent.  His team completed the work very quickly - working over the weekend to get it done.  Jose and his team were fantastic and I will definitely be using them again when I have any plumbing needs.

Matt and his partner did an excellent job repairing my drain. It required jackhammering the slab in a tight space but they got it done and completed the job with little mess. Matt is up to date on homeowners insurance also and help with us with the process. They also have all the connections for repairs need, drying & treatment of the flooded area. The response time was excellent as well as the whole job experience. High recommend this company and would definitely use them again.
Thanks

Had a shower valve that wouldn't turn off completely, so called Daniel, who had done some repairs for me a couple of years ago.  He arrived on time, followed covid protocol, and took the time to explain what he was doing and the part he was replacing (shower faucets need their cartridges replaced every few years--who knew?).  He had no problem answering all my questions and sharing his expertise with me.  The repair was done within the time he had estimated and I felt he charged a reasonable price.  Express Plumbing is definitely staying on my list of preferred providers!

Martín and Chris were awesome. We had to get our hot water heater and pressure regulator replaced. They worked well independently while I had two kids to tend to, and the pricing was very competitive. We will use them for future plumbing needs.

I'm so happy to have found Kelley! She was very punctual. Kelley installed curtain rods and curtains, several cat shelves and steps, and earthquake-proofed a tall, heavy bookshelf.

I'll certainly be calling her again.

We were quoted $90 for a same day appointment. We were told that the plumber would come between 1 and 4. We received a text that stated the plumber would be coming at 2:30pm 2:30 came and went, no plumber, no call. When we reached out at 4:00pm texting back we did not receive a response until 5:40pm informing us the plumber who was supposed to come was not responding, which I understand is not their fault, they proceeded to send someone out. He showed up around 6:30pm. We did receive a discount which is nice, but the technician did not have the right equipment to do the diagnosis needed.
Instead he dug a whole in my yard told my fiancé h would talk to his boss and get back to us the next day. The next day came and went. I sent an email and still haven't received a response. As I wanted written documentation at this point. Mean while we were gathering quotes  to get someone to come out again since the first attempt was not helpful. Troy plumbing had the nerve to respond to the quote request stating they could send someone out same day for $70. Nice consistency guys. Overall super disappointing especially since we had another company come out that fixed it in an hour, and by the way that was a same day appointment as well. Of course it was two days after our initial attempt since Troy plumbing didn't pull through even though we gave them the benefit of the doubt to call as promised. Biggest waste of $75. Especially since I had to pay another company to do the same thing, but much better. Absolutely will not recommend Troy plumbing.

Omar was quick to respond to our plumbing leak that was sudden due to washer valve in our condo. He gave a competitive quote and finished the work in the same day. I felt he was very honest in conservation and appreciated his feedback.
I would definitely recommend Omar for your plumbing needs.

Very pleased with this business. Every person, from the one who took the original call, to the person who performed the repair, were very professional and courteous. Our job took several trips, but they were there every time when they said they would be and did an excellent job.

Steve and Ken were outstanding from Team Rooter San Diego. Very professional and excellent service! I highly recommend them.

I came to help a friend who was having plumbing issues at her moms  house & they called RDZ to assess the situation. Apart from their professionalism & commitment to see the job through Sal, Juan & Marino made sure that even if they had to stay all night the job was going to get solved & they did exactly that.

You have to really appreciate  & respect small business owners that go out of their way to make sure that their clients are 100% satisfied with the work done.

Even though I didn't hire them I would definitely recommend them, Sal & Juan are solid guys doing honest & respectable work! Bless you guys, it was a pleasure meeting & getting to know you guys! Thank you both

They just left my house I can say one word to describe them is honest!!!!! I will definitely use them again thank you for great service!!!

The plumber Gino was on time, personable, efficient and did a great job. I took his card because I will call on him in the future.
