Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

I've worked with Padilla Plumbing for many years now.  They are professional and knowledgeable.   Alex in the office keeps both customer and staff well-organized and informed.    They have serviced both my home and a rental property I own.

We bought our home a year ago, knowing the water heater might need to be replaced. Almost exactly on the 1-year anniversary, the water heater started leaking so we knew it was time. We called a few places but Dimitar took our call and said he could stop by in 40 min to take a look and give us an estimate. He was there right on time, his price was reasonable and he set an appointment to come back at 9am the next morning. He told us it would take about 2 hours and that was exactly right. He explained how to re-light the pilot if needed and cleaned up the garage afterwards. He was friendly and helpful throughout. Bonus: We asked him about replacing the kitchen garbage disposer since the rubber gasket was worn and he told us our old unit was better than most on the market today but we could buy a new gasket at Home Depot! That turned out to be a $10 fix instead of a $200 project for him! Thanks, Dimitar for your great service. If we need any other plumbing help, we will call you first! :)

Had a kitchen sink that was leaking through the faucet piping. I had called several companies prior to Montiny and they all quoted me various prices and made the problem seem more complicated than it was. Super happy that I found Montiny and Alberto (the owner) was able to reach out to me and send someone out the same afternoon. I was helped by William and he was super sweet and professional. VERY reasonable and fair prices and my sink faucet is working brand new again! Would definitely use their services again in the future and recommend to anyone with plumbing issues :)

Henry did a great job installing faucets, connecting drains on 3 bathroom sinks and 1 kitchen sink.   I wsited a while to review to make sure ni issues cropped and, after 2 weeks, no leaks, etc.  This time the kitchen sink operates smoothly,  compared to the last time we had a kitchen sink installed by a handyman.   Great work at a decent price.

Thanks!!!

Need drain work?  Look no further.  You have found the vendor you are looking for.  Seriously.

Carlos is gold.  Family owned and operated business.  He's a good person and values relationships.  When you call CM, you are getting the founder of the business servicing you personally.

His prices are easily HALF or less of the going market rate. He doesn't look for ways to screw you when you're in need (like changing his hourly rate when you need service most).  

But, most importantly of all, he does DAMN good work and uses the absolute best equipment available.  He's been in the business a long time and realized that specializing in hydro-jet work and buying the best equipment available and doing the work himself would put him in the position to do great work for people at a great price, and have a good time doing it.

Just call these guys and stop thinking about it.  Your house will thank you.  The only thing you will regret is not calling him sooner.

If your drain is clogged -- let's stop for a moment and look at your typical alternatives--

Call a regular plumber and get your pipe snaked.  This is what most people do.  The guy will show up and run his attachment on the drill and get the drain to unclog.  This won't really clean your pipes, but it will give you a quick fix.  The work will be overpriced, given that the job does not require much effort/skill and doesn't make use of any sophisticated equipment.  The guy will be in and out and make a quick buck.  Your clog will likely come back.

Call one of the typical fancy logo'd van rip-off plumber operations ... pay the big price for the big name, so they can send the B team there (who's getting paid the minimum, and likely doesn't have much experience) to either do what said regular plumber guy above would do, but charge you 2X-3X.... OR they will actually just call a guy like Carlos, and charge you 3-4X what he is charging them.  Trust me.  It's true.  

Yes, that is right.  If you aren't getting a quick snake job, chances are they are calling in a 3rd party like Carlos to do hydro-jet work and marking it up a TON.  Just go direct.  Call CM.

If you don't know what the heck a hydro-jet is - think about it like this - it's like an intense pressure washer cleaning the inside of all your drain pipes... whereas a snake is like drilling a hole through whatever is stuck in your pipe.  Big difference.  The hydro-jet can clean all your house drains and go all the way out to the city sewer, cleaning your underground main drain line along the way.  Carlos can also run a camera through the system while he's doing it so you can take a look at the state of affairs inside your plumbing.   And in a place like San Diego, where you have some serious mineral deposit risks from the city water, this is a good idea.  

And let me say this - I have NO affiliation with this business, and I spoke with 5-10 different plumbers on a Saturday morning, and Carlos had every drain in my house, along with the main underground drain line going out to the city... all clean as a whistle, by Saturday afternoon.  

I've worked with contractors for about 20 years at this point, and I've done whole house rebuilds.. and I can say this much - finding people like Carlos and CM Jetting is just a godsend.  These are the types of vendors that you hang on to for life and recommend to all your friends.  Trust me, I know.  I've been through it all, from dealing with the best to the worst.  

These guys are GOLD!!!

Recently had Rayne out for new water softener install. Adam and Latif were very professional and thorough. They walked me through the job and answered all the questions that I had. Job is now complete and enjoying soft water. Thanks for the help guys!

Mike is a great plumber! Honest, fair, clean worker and fast.  He helped us quickly, to resolve a plumbing emergency before hosting a huge party.  We are very grateful and recommend him to anyone who wants a great plumber.

Very professional and easy to work with.  You call Cobra Rooter @ (619)579-5454.  They answer every time and have the Owner Bob call you back, usually with in 30min.  I have had them clear the main and bathroom drains and will 100% use them again when/if needed.

Life Saver! We had a small leak at our rental home. Working with the tenants, had us concerned because the drywall was bubbling with a slow drip. JD showed up, gave us a complete estimate for the job. Initially thought the estimate might be a little high. However, it covered everything! He was very clean, laid out plastic on the floor. He used a vacuum to minimize the dust in the air. He was very professional, kept discussions outside, not in front on the tenant.

My wife and I were so glad that he was available. After the job, we were very confident in his work. Hire him! If you want the job done right.

VIP did a super job with a problem concerning my main sewer line to the street. Excellent price. Good communications. I appreciate his technical and customer service skills.

So far I've had them install a dishwasher in my old/outdated kitchen, and had them pour some concrete for my front yard. Both jobs were done very well, in a reasonable amount of time, and for a fair price.

I have more work for them in the future. I appreciate their hard work and professionalism!

Was response prompt? Was estimate accurate? Was work completed as promised? Was cost reasonable? These folks answered them all 100% YES!!!

I contacted a number of plumbers through Yelp and Angie's List after my tank water heater started leaking on New Years' Eve. Vlad was very responsive and gave me an excellent price on a tankless unit that fit my needs with a minimum of hassle. Paul and Marcin showed up on time with the new heater, and did a very professional installation job. Highly recommended!

Everything about this repiping experience was impressive. Brian was professional, knowledgable, and helpful during our consultation. His quote for a whole house Pex repipe AND drain replacement was less than competitors' quotes that did not include drains! He even included installation of new shower fixtures and moving a kitchen sink.

The office staff worked with us to answer all of our questions and to reschedule our appointment when we realized the new sink we ordered would not arrive on time. Jessica in the office is the nicest person I've ever talked to on the phone. She helped me to feel confident and relaxed about the whole process.

Marco and his team arrived on time, repiped everything in one day, and had the water back on by dinner! They prepped the house well and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves before leaving. They carefully emptied a closet I had forgotten to clear and protected our belongings. The next day Nicolas's patching crew was equally focused and thorough. Both the drywall and stucco patching are indistinguishable from the walls.

After they left we noticed a tiny drip from a valve under the new kitchen sink. I called the office and Marco came out within hours and replaced the faulty valve in minutes. Then we realized we were losing hot water and we thought maybe our old water heater was shot. But we gave Simpex a call and Brian came over himself on a Sunday afternoon, lit our temperamental pilot light and made sure everything was working again.

I appreciate the peace of mind from knowing all of the pipes and drains in our house are under warranty with a company as trustworthy as Simpex. We definitely recommend them to anyone repiping!

***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.

I was leaving for work a couple of days ago and entered our garage to find a mini version of the Bellagio's water show gushing over our water heater.  KC was referred to us by our go-to handyman, Chad.  

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting KC in person, but my husband was very pleased with the services rendered.  Apparently, even though KC was pretty booked for the day, he was kind enough to swing by quickly after a job to take a look.  It was a simple replacement of the pipe leading to our water heater, and he was able to repair with parts.  Hubster said KC was very kind and a pleasure to work with.  Price was also reasonable for an emergency service.  I was just happy to come back to a resolved disaster.  Happy wife rule successfully met.

Per my husband, KC's service and work = 5 stars.  I am hoping we won't have any plumbing issues in the near future, but he's now on our list of professionals who wear capes.  We will be referring him for plumbing needs and thank him for his excellent service!

We had to change sewer pipes from our house that haven't been changed i guess since '55.
Got a couple of quotes from different plumbing companies. Rooter Rooter wasn't cheap, but was definitely better price. The guys were professional, did everything in 1.5 days, stayed until late since we were on stop process of pouring concrete driveway. Amazing job. Couldn't be more happy with their work. Thank you.
