Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

As an electrical service contractor myself, (and a very good one) I took a shot with Padilla Plumbing exclusively from all the great Yelp reviews, and also because any Yelp complaint was answered and explained very quickly by the owner, John Padilla. Seems the few bad reviews , the one stars, were written by people who had no involvement with the hiring or the scope of work agreement process due to property management companies being the agency that did the hiring, and the management companies have no complaints or issues that I can find. some were just unhappy that they had plumbing problems!
Plumber / tech David came out, called me twice before arriving, gave me a great quote, and there were no surprises when the job was completed. I highly recommend this company if you have plumbing issues.

Thanks Dimitar for your help!

We had a broken water heater so I scoured Yelp for help and was hopeful when I read all the positive reviews on this page. I reached out to him via Yelp. He provided an estimate based on a couple of photos I shared with him, which made other bids seem outrageous and exorbitant.

He's responsive and professional. He was able to schedule me on the following morning. He replaced our Gas Control valve and Gas shut off valve in about an hour and a half. Now we're back to having hot water again!

Highly recommend reaching out to Dimitar.

We had a leaking/rusted over valve in our backyard that was welded on. Luis came out the next day and replaced it QUICKLY. He was friendly and knowledgeable.  It's been 3 months and no leaks detected. Highly recommend, we will use Montiny Plumbing for everything going forward.

We've used Henry's plumbing for the last few years. He is very knowledgeable, clean and very reasonable in what he charges for labor and parts.

The hardest thing to find in a plumber or a specialist is trustworthiness. Carlos and his company are trustworthy. They did a camera inspection, jetting, and descaling of the pipe from my laundry. They scoped 50 ft of old cast iron plumbing and cleaned everything up. The old cast iron pipes are now opened up and all clear! He only charged us for descaling 20 ft instead of 50 ft of the plumbing. Solid pricing for all of his services!

We also enjoyed talking to Carlos about his work and life philosophies and can sense that he is here to do a good job, even if he has to leave some money on the table because he won't rush through a job to get to the next one.

We are grateful for your good work!

I was looking for a counter top, bottleless, water cooler (preferably alkaline), that I can pay month to month. I can't commit to a longer period because the space I am using it in is temporary.  I need 3- 6 months or more.

The rep that I was talking to told me that I'd have to sign up for at least12 months and that I won't find any company to rent to me, month to month, because their sales people wouldn't get paid.  I took what he said in stride, but was pretty sure I could do better.

With a little more research online, I found exactly what I wanted.

These guys did great with replying to me quickly, but docking two stars for just not being helpful and giving incorrect information about the market in general.  I probably won't look at Rayne for a long term solution in the future.

Mike saved my a** on New Years Day. He called me that night on his way back into town and told me he'd be there in the morning. He was prompt and worked quickly. When he didn't have the problem solved, he could've told me that it was an HOA issue but he stuck with it and unclogged the drain. I vouch for him and would trust him again with another plumbing job.

My call on a Saturday, answered immediately! Bob called back within 30min and showed up within an hour.
Pleasant in every way, fast service, and fair pricing!
I'd recommend them wholeheartedly!

John has worked with me twice. One with a hot water heater valve and the other a water softener install.

That doesn't even mention the free faucet repair he performed.

Both times his work was prefaced with an ETA which was prompt. His work was excellent and professional. He wore shoe covers in the house and cleaned up the work site. If I have any issues I now know who to call!

I always take Yelp reviews with a grain of salt, but in this case the reviews are correct for VIP Sewer and Drain Services.   From the beginning to end I received great customer service.   The techs that came to my house for hydro jetting were thorough, knowledgeable, and most important trustworthy.   I also had them fix an issue with my sink.   My total cost was much less then other companies had estimated.   I will definitely be using VIP again in the future.

We were installing a new washer/dryer and I called around to have a new drip pan cut/installed and Farhad was willing to take a look. He came over and fixed the issue in less than an hour and was very professional and willing to come back if any issues came up. We just moved to Carlsbad and are glad we found a handyman nearby. Great work!

I highly recommend using Top Notch Plumbing! He was very professional and friendly. We've had a couple pipe leaks and he came as soon as he could to help us both times.

Superfast, clean and knowledgeable.  Very, very honest and fair.  I will use for all future plumbing needs.

We had a complete repipe done at our house by Simpex.  We had had several slab leaks over the years.  Repiping is a major job.  Simpex crew came in one day and did the repiping.  They were there at 8 am, did a great job covering everything up then opening up walls and ceiling to do the repiping job.  Our water was back on around 5 and they cleaned up everything very well.  Day 2 inspector came to approve.  Day 3 a different crew came to patch and make everything paint ready.  They covered everything very well and did a great job patching up everything.  Again, they did a good cleanup.

The repiping is a major effort and there will be dust and dirt.  The simpex crews were hard working and pleasant.  They really knew what they were doing and were efficient.  We didn't have water for about 9 hours and other than that had complete use of all facilities.

The photos below show the effort involved, but don't worry it all gets patched up very well.

We were having a bad problem with roots in our pipes.  Lucio came out, gave us a fair quote, and got to work the next day.  

He and his hard working concrete guy had to drill through our concrete to get to  the root of the problem :)  They pulled out a root the size of a baseball bat that was causing our backup, and which other plumbers missed.

They arrived at our house at 8:30 am, and didn't leave till 8:30 pm.  Lucio did not leave till every part of the job was done (including refilling the concrete steps).  He snaked with a camera several times.  He was always saying, he wanted to make sure he covered everything.

Lucio is professional, courteous,  and friendly.  If you look in his van, it is organized and clean. I told him he's an anal plumber :). He's a perfectionist that will get the job done right.  

We will definitely use him for future jobs.

***BUYER BEWARE*****  

I spoke to Devin in late December as I had a leak in a pipe that was accessible through the stucco of the exterior of my home.  Devin assured me that they were a 1 stop shop.  They could fix the leak and re-stucco the wall.   His partner even said you wouldn't even know we were here.   If this business had comedians, it would get 5 stars.    This was the biggest lie I was ever told.  

Day 1 Devin's team shows up late.   They cut open the wall and then assess the issue.   They then took at least 5 trips to Home Depot for parts. After hours of trying to correct the problem, they had to admit they did not know what they were doing and call what I am hoping was a real plumber to finish the job.   This took almost 10 hours.

The following day, they again showed up late, and knowing they were there to do stucco work, they still had to make a trip to Home Depot.   When I went to check to see how the work was going, I could tell they had no idea what they were doing.   They had retrieved a Lucky Charms box out of the recycle can and were using it as a trowel to apply the stucco and to get it to stick to the wall.  

I was told by his brother that they would be back the next day to paint.   They had even gone to Home Depot again and got matching paint.    Well, I contacted Devin because they didn't show up the next day.   Devin told me they need the stucco to dry, and they would be by to paint in a few weeks.   We'll that has now turned into 4 months.   The stucco is awful. There are cracks everywhere from where they applied it.    

I did get ahold of Devin once since and he promised me that he would come out himself to look at the issue.    Well, he was a no-show to our appointment.  

I attempted to settle this issue privately and allow Devin to remedy this situation.  Yet Devin continues to ignore my calls and texts.  

Please save your hard earned money and time and if you have a plumbing issue select someone who is more reputable and takes pride in their work.

Arrived on time, had parts to fix the bathroom sink stopper and completed the job promptly.  Gave input on two other issues.  Price was as quoted over phone.

I appreciate the responsiveness and availability that Get Rooter & Plumbing offered me . I had 2 restrooms with issues at the same time and they were here within 20 minutes and fixed both toilets within 20 minutes. Very respectful, honest, and cannot beat the price. I will use them again and again when i need the services they offer. Thanks Jay you did a great job !!
