Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

Bob Hauer Plumbing came highly recommended on NextDoor, so I called for a quote.  He came out and, most importantly, made friends with my dogs.  :)  He provided a quote, and got me on the schedule as soon as I accepted.  He accommodated my request for early morning, which is a huge help.
I had him installing a whole home water purification system that I had purchased independently.  He told me it would take just about all day, which surprised me.  However, once you see the finished product, it is a beautiful sight to behold.  
He used copped piping as we discussed.  He placed the system where we discussed, and it is oddly nice looking.  
He took additional steps I noticed along the way - like tying back my plants to both hold them out of his way, and to protect them.  It looked like pigtails and ponytails!  

Once he got going, he worked steadily and was chipper, kind of singing along to some 90s jams as he worked, and he sounded like he was in a great mood!  I work from home, so it was a nice touch nice having a cheerful person to hear in the background, just going about his business happily.

Now - my 1968 house ALWAYS brings complications and surprises.  This time was no exception, unfortunately.  Twice it foiled him - temporarily.  

When this happened, he would work until he could not - always leavi g me with working, running water, and cleaned up pristinely.  

Now, I know we all EXPECT co tractors to clean up.  Its part of the gig.  I dont think I have ever ever seen a cleaner site.  Each time he left, it may have been cleaner than when he got there.  No exaggeration, we all have trees and yard debris.  It has been a rainy, windy winter in San Diego - I think he swept up some of my leaves in addition.  

Bob was always pleasant, calm, personable, and sweet.  Even when he ran in to surprises that necessitated extra time or supplies, he informed me with a smile.  When he told me about one of the complications, and I replied Can that be done??  He replied I can do anything  with a smile.  

I would wholeheartedly recommend his plumbing services.

Marco was great and able to fix my dryer that others couldn't fix after trying a few times! He was very responsive and honest!

Had to replace 2 shower heads and faucets. They were fast, reliable and very knowledgeable. Got the job done.

This is the best plumbing service I have found. I'm lucky that I live in Santee as well or I wouldn't have found Steve and his associates! He always comes asap when called, no matter how small the problem is. He and his friends redid our bathroom at such a reasonable price and with great results! I also appreciate his wife who takes his calls. No matter how long it's been she remembers me. What a pleasant person she is!
Call Plein! They're fantastic!!!

I've only used them for Plumbing so far and Thomas is absolutely amazing! He's on time, professional and a great plumber.

Bill came out right away and checked out our clogged sink/disposal. He even worked with me in dealing with out management company who was trying to charge us and claim that we had misused the disposal. His prices were way lower then the estimate our management property was trying to charge us. He was very professional and not only that he was very kind! Call him if you have any plumbing needs! Thanks Bill!

Brandon came out to reattach my bathroom sink to the countertop.  His work was excellent!  Also....he took some of the work outside so that the noise wouldn't bother me, he is extremely courteous, he wore a mask &  asked if he should remove his shoes when he came in the house.  I will ask for Brandon again.

Awesome crew! They called before they came to pick stuff up and were very respectful. I'd highly recommend working with them because they truly recycle things rather than throw them in the landfill. Seriously, this team is awesome!

As a property manager, I found Pure Cleaning through one of my Board members. They recommended them for a unique building on the ocean with glass railings. Cade and his staff were always super responsive and did an excellent job. They paid attention to detail and communicated well with onsite residents.

Over time, we had them do more work like specialty metal cleaning and power washing and then I got them involved with other properties I managed. They are super easy to work with, reasonably priced and produce a good result making my company look good as well. I would recommend them to anyone.

Same Day was terrific and honest. There were unexpected problems during the install, but they found solutions that were actually cheaper than the original project.

The install team (Jeff, JP, and Jamie), we're quick, quiet, and courteous. My husband works from home, and they avoiding working near his office and creating disruptions during his meetings. The install was finished on time, and looks and works great.

We had priced five companies, and Same Day had the best price for what  we were purchasing. They were also the only company to find solutions that stayed within code, and identified electrical considerations the other companies missed. In part this was because our quote was made by a an actual HVAC specialist (Jeff) rather than a sales person.

Great experience all around. We'd purchase from them again, and will keep them as our HVAC maintenance provider

Excellent experience with TS Backflow!  Tim was quick to respond to my request and made it extremely easy to get on his schedule.  He arrived as promised, performed the back flow test, and took care of the paperwork with the city within hours.  I very much appreciate him taking the time to explain how the valve works when I asked as well.  Highly recommend TS Backflow, I'll certainly have them out for next year's check!

Reasonable has given us wonderful service for many years.  Pip does a great job, is very skilled & we always enjoy our visits with him.
We appreciate that he is always able to accommodate us when we have a plumbing problem.

Very impressed with The Works Plumbing. Unfortunately I called another plumber first and was given the runaround and it left me annoyed and underwhelmed. I regrouped and decided to call the top recommendation on yelp for my area and I am so glad I did. Called yesterday to schedule an appointment for a couple of smaller projects. Was shocked that they could come out the next day and was given a window of 11am-2pm. Got a call a little after 10 that Shawn was on his way. Super impressed that they were early and I appreciate the call to let me know they are en route. Shawn came and was super friendly and took care of my plumbing issues right away, no rescheduling or putting me off. The price was very reasonable and I was amazed at how speedy and efficient Shawn was. Super impressed and would recommend The Works to anyone who needs a plumber. Sometimes I feel like yelp can be hit or miss (like with the other plumber I called) but the positive reviews definitely are deserved for The Works. Very happy. Thank you!

Pacific Drain was recommended to me by another plumber that doesn't do drains. I had a backup that had built up for months. Was dreading it. I called today and Nick came out the same day. He was courteous, clean, explained what he was doing. Mopped up with Simple Green and had a great smile on his face the entire time. I anticipated this being awful - instead, it was awesome. Thank you, Pacific Drain. Keep up the great work.

Steve, co-owner of Daniels plumbing is very reliable and always accommodating our tenants needs . We love working with them !

I Highly recommend this company. I had an emergency with a plumbing leak and Debra and Dwayne were amazing and professional. Debra listened to my story, explained what they could do for me and contacted Dwayne the Field Manager to come assess my problem. Dwayne was here within a few hours and is helping get this issue addressed. They recommended solutions and are working with myself and the property management/owner to quickly fix my problem(s).
Thank you!!

Dave from Vanguard did an excellent job fixing the main water leak we had under my driveway. He was always on time and was very professional throughout the entire process and even stayed to finish cleaning. I would definitely recommend Vanguard for any plumbing needs.

Roby came out on time and with a great friendly attitude. Very knowledgeable too! Found the problem right away and was here and gone in a flash. Extremely reasonable charges. Would we use them again? You bet!! Call them with confidence:) Have already told neighbors about them.

This is an update review - and another 5 star. I could give 10 stars if Yelp allows. Our faucet has a small issue which is not very urgent, but Bob still came at his earliest convenience, and replaced the part with no cost. We really appreciate his help!

Last Monday I awoke to a strange noise in my garage. It was my water heater making a noise like Niagara Falls and spewing out water along the back of my cabinets. I was unable to turn it off. I called Thompson Plumbing, where I had never been a client before, and in less than two hours hero Ramon showed up. He immediately was able to shut it off, removed the water heater, got a new one and installed it, and cleaned up all the mess that had been created. The whole thing from when I found it to when it was finished was less than six hours. I was very impressed and would call them again in a heartbeat for any future plumbing or HVAC issues. Stellar!!
