Instant Hot Water!
Pacific Beach Plumbing did a great job installing a recirculating hot water pump.  We chose and recommend the Hot Water D'MAND System and are happy.

I contacted several vendors in the area for estimates to revamp a retaining wall planter that runs the length of our back yard (remove dirt, add plants and addition of large pebbles). The estimate from Velazquez was the lowest estimate and Sauro and his crew were able to start the project less than a week after receiving the estimate! They were very easy to work with, did a beautiful job and the price was exactly what I was given on the estimate (other than one small additional which I chose to add after). I could not be more pleased with the result and will absolutely use them again for future projects!

Great service, had a water heater replaced and a new pressure regulator installed all in the same day. Price was fair and the service and install was top notch!

Thank you

We called Regional Elite Plumbing to assist with a plumbing problem in our bathroom.  Mike responded to our home a couple hours later and fixed the problem.  He was professional and his rates were very reasonable.  I would definately use this company in the future and would recommend him to others.

I called Brian because I was having issues with my toilet running. Then I tried turning off the water from the shutoff valve and that broke lol. He came out the same day in just 2 hours! He was very professional and also reasonably priced. My other two restrooms had the same shutout valve issues and to prevent the same issue from escalating  later down the road we decided to have those changed as well, again very reasonably priced. A few days later and the toilet I originally called him for was still giving me issues & Brian was kind enough to come out and fix the issue for good, at no extra cost! I'll definitely be using Brian for my plumbing needs in the future. Hopefully the very distant future. Lol. Thanks Brian!

Sohail Hossini and his partner knocked out a kitchen demo in a day and a half.  He moved the gas connector for my new stove coming in.  He'll be back in two weeks to do the tiling of the backsplash.  This is a no nonsense contractor who gives you a quote in writing, comes on time, does the work quickly, and we couldn't be more pleased.  Thank you

Rafael came over today to alleviate the clog in our landscape drain that has been causing water to back-up during periods of very heavy rain.  He ran his snake through our landscape drainage line and showed my wife the dip in the line (in the shape of a letter U) which was causing water to pool.  He felt like it would be quite problematic to dig it up as it was likely under hardscape.  I really appreciated his help and honesty.  Rafael said that he would be happy to return when water backed up again but that we could actually clear some of the blockage ourselves by using our garden hose.  He took the time to tell me what  hose spray attachment to buy and even offered to return and help me de-clog myself if I was so inclined.  Can't say enough about Rafael & Lefty's Plumbing!   A+++ for pricing and honesty!

The pipe to our water heater bursted and in order to minimize damage, I had to turn off our main. This left us with no water so I needed
a plumber to fix the bursted pipe immediately. I found Dr. Rooter through Yelp. Within seconds of talking to Jerry, I knew I had found the right person for the job. Jerry and Ricardo arrived within the hour per my request. He immediately located the source of the problem that was behind the wall. With minimal intrusiveness, they soldered on the new section of copper pipe. If you want prompt and professional service, then Jerry and Ricardo are your men for the job. I highly recommend them, and I must say that they are now on my existing contact list in case I ever need them again.

Owen Plumbing is without a doubt the BEST!!! We have used them for years for a number of plumbing issues. Without a doubt the most reliable,  honest and knowledgeable plumbing company ever.  All of their technicians are true professionals.

Thank you Scott and to all of your employees!!!!

Extremely rude not professional at all. If I could give negative stars I would. My 65 yr old my was waiting for them to show up.  When they arrived they announce their presence by yelling. We r here my mother tried to explain what the problem was his response was we don't want to hear it! They refused to walk in the house, and check out plumping stuff. Then they had my mother helping them! By turning on and off all the stuff in the house. (Toilet & sinks) while barking orders at her. I am pretty sure she isn't on their payroll.  I don't recommend them.

Marshall is a master at his trade and has integrity rarely found in the industry! I have an older home and have been using him for years!

AJ COMPLETELY GHOSTED my family after we paid him for a repair service leaving us without hot or even lukewarm water. We have an infant and elderly family member in our home and trying to find another technician to pick up where he left off has been an immense struggle. Relying on cold water has been devastating for my family and we're looking into alerting California's License Board.

If you wanna stay outa the heat, then make sure you use only Sherlock!
Our experience with Sherlock has been second to none...
About 6 weeks ago we commenced the get quotes / estimates to replace our dead old HVAC unit.
Funnily enough I solicited 8 vendors, of these only 4 took the time to get involved in our quest.

I have to say that Alex Stott, the companies field agent and expert really knows his product. Better yet he takes the time to explain everything so even a foody person like me ultimately understands.
Alex took the time to properly match our needs, to the equipment and budget we could entertain.
Everything was spelled out in black and white.

Additionally the 2 servicement that did our install, Paul and Vince were exceptional at their jobs and majorily customer service centric.
Everything has gone to plan.
Thereby I will always refer potentials to this company and we will always call on them first.
Thank-you, a major KUDOS to this company - keep it up and get others to follow suit!

Joshua Plumbing and Drain Service saved the day on Saturday!  I met Joshua and his crew at a plumbing store on Saturday morning and asked if they worked in the Carmel Mountain area.  Most definitely was their answer and after explaining my AC/Plumbing nightmare Joshua said he could come by in between two appointments that morning!!  

They showed up right on time and got to work accessing the problem and had it fixed (and a few other small problems) just as promised!  They were courteous, put down plastic and cleaned up after the job was complete.  Joshua was very patient with me as I asked numerous questions, answering them all without making me feel dumb for asking.  

Thank you Joshua for coming to my rescue!  I highly recommend Joshua and his crew for all your plumbing needs!

We had a sink backup in our kitchen over the weekend. They were very responsive and we had an appointment first thing in Monday morning. Mauricio was able to fix it very quickly. He was also very helpful in answering our questions and explained to us what the likely causes are.

The entire backside of our house lost electricity. I had an idea what may have caused but since I dont really like to mess with electricity, decided to call for electrician. I noticed that Premo Electric had quite alot of good reviews so rolled the dice. I'm glad I did. The electrician assigned to my job, Niall, was a complete professional. He called ahead of time, was prompt, and took the time to explain the problem. He did not waste any time completing the work which is good since the customer is paying by the hour. He was friendly and possessed a great knowledge of his profession. I will go with this company anytime for my electric needs.

This company was great.  I had two ceiling lights, 4 sconces and replaced two outlets.  They were professional, timely job completion and cleaned up after themselves.  I am going to need some more electrical work done in the house and I will for sure be contacting this group again.

Thanks guys.

Bruce and crew came to look at repair a cracked drain line in the bathroom. Bruce said he couldn't repair the crack based on it's location and that damage could be done to the main line as it is 60 years old. He contacted his buddy Rick at Matrix Plumbing to come out and put a camera down the main line to have a look. I looked on as they did this. Interesting thing that I found out a day later was that Rick looked at a plumbing issue at my brother's house. The initial response since his camera was BROKEN was to bust open their walls to find out what was going on. Glad my brother called for a second opinion since his problem was solved by snaking the line.

Back to my problem.. .Bruce and now Matrix Plumbing said they needed to trench inside my house, from one end to the other and replace the main line based on what they saw on the camera that suddenly worked. In an earlier conversation, Bruce said that you'd never want to trench your house and gave me several reasons why. But all of the sudden, trenching needed to be done immediately. Bruce said the line couldn't be sleeved or washed/cleaned out because it was too brittle and could crumble if we went that route.  Bruce and Matrix Plumbing said that this would take approximately two weeks and that my floors would be ripped up and drywall removed. After an insane estimate of approximately $30,000 from Bruce,  we obviously got a second and third opinion. Both of those companies allowed me to watch as they put the camera down the line. First off, what I saw on their cameras (which turned out to be a very good thing) looked nothing like what I saw from Rick's camera.

BOTH COMPANIES SAID I HAD NO ISSUES OR DAMAGE TO MY MAIN LINE! Yes, it is a 60 year old cast iron pipe. Both companies provided us with guidance to be proactive and preventative with the old aged pipe and it was nothing remotely close to $30,000!

Do your research and get several quotes when thinking about getting work done by Robertson plumbing.

I've updated to two stars since their employee Omar went out and repaired a water line they had damaged when they were digging. Our septic line was inspected in Alpine CA and we hoped that we could have the roots or sludge ground out so it could pass the inspection, and a camera show us leach line locations. We were trying to avoid spending thousands of dollars on a new leach line system. I called the main number for Mr. Rooter in San Diego and they said they serviced Alpine. They sent a local company out to do the work.  Over $1,100 to use their special machine to grind through the lines and to scope with the camera (over 200 feet of lines). They got about three feet in and couldn't go farther. They told us they must have hit the distribution box or where the leach lines came off the main line. They also told me how hard the soil was and how they would have to use a machine to dig it out. They talked to my husband and since the house was in escrow, we told them to go ahead clearing the line and putting in a clean out. It turned out the dirt was soft, hand dug out, and they just repaired a small section that was damaged and attached a clean out line to the repair. No distribution box or leach field lines there. They ran their grinder three more feet and it stopped again. Total feet ground? About 6. Total feet scoped with the camera? About 6. Total charge for their work? It was going to be $3400, but they took it down to $2800.  We told them we couldn't afford for them to do any more work and got two bids for all new lines and leach lines (over 200 feet of leach lines). The reasonable price for two long days of trenching, laying pipes and backfilling? Just $2,000 more than were were being charged for the short grinding, camera work and 4' by 4' hole and repair.  Blackburn Drainage and Construction did ten times the work that Mr. Rooter did. And they had to remove that repair that Mr. Rooter had made, since part of the job was to put in a new line all the way to the septic tank.  The Mr. Rooter General Manager, Mike, did spend a lot of time trying to find out what happened, and we do appreciate that. Unfortunately, we still don't see eye-to-eye on what happened.
