Best Plumbing Services in San Diego, CA

This is a mixed review. Ahmad came out to unclog our drain and talked me into Hydrojetting from the roof since if he took the toilet off to snake, he would not guarantee that he could replace the toilet. Aren't you a licensed plumber?! He proceeded with Hydrojetting and upon sending his camera down, he quickly discovered that the pipe was broken. Sounds a lot like Kaylee T's review (read that! Note I was also home without my husband dealing with Ahmad. Sound similar?). He would not continue with the Hydrojetting and told us it would cost $5500 to replace the broken pipe. My husband is a licensed contractor and had his plumber (also a licensed plumber) out to investigate the broken pipe the next day. Turns out there was NO BROKEN PIPE! We called the contracting company (or at least Baird's Drain Service number that I originally called when I was ACTUALLY looking for George Baird's Drain Service- my mistake. I will NEVER make that mistake again. George Baird's Drain Service is superb!) who sent E-Drains to us and argued with the manager (other reviews also say she is rude, I concur!) that there was clog and not a broken pipe. Reluctantly, they sent out Edy from E-Drains the next day to investigate. Edy removed the toilet and found a huge clog where our plumber said it was. Edy did a fantastic job at unclogging the pipe in our granny flat. Turns out the pipe was NOT broken and was clogged with so-called flushable wipes. He unclogged it and everything is draining properly! Thank you Edy for your persistency in unclogging our drain. Note to all: THEY ARE NOT FLUSHABLE WIPES. They lie! =) Overall, Edy did a great job, but reading other posts, there is too much similarity here. Broken pipe and $5K plus in work or try all you can and unclog the drain. Overall, I was out $485 plus the fees for our plumber to dig up the backyard and underneath the house to expose the so-called broken pipe...not to mention the mess. Not sure I trust their motives, but thank you Edy for unclogging the drain.

I hired Darrell to work on three bathroom faucets. He was professional, nice, approachable and polite. He arrived 15 minutes early.
He did a very good job in removing the old faucets and installing the new ones. The installation of the three faucets was nice and clean
He checked everything to make sure no leaks. He cleaned (wiped and vacuumed)the work area.
Overall quality of work was very good.
I strongly recommend him.

Chris was accurate in finding the leak, and fixed it 2 days later.

Great service!!!!!

Know their stuff, are thoughtful, informative and efficient!  Fixed everything the white gloves guyes wouldn't, Totally reliable.

Carlos was an exceptional contractor.  I had my water heater replaced and Carlos was timely, cost effective, and courteous.  I would recommend him as he was communicative and reasonable. He came in under the estimate and left the area super clean.

I am so very happy with Happy Plumbing!
I needed to get a water heater reset and I wanted to get it positioned a little differently from where it had to been. I was not even sure that was possible but I sent a few pictures to the office. She forwarded the pictures to Chris and he called me to discuss the job. I instantly liked him because he is knowledgeable and easy going.
Today he did the job and I absolutely could not be happier. His expertise and his attention to detail are awesome and have exceeded my wildest expectations.
I keep walking by the closet where the water heater is located and I just can't stop smiling because he did such a great job!
I highly recommend Happy Plumbing and ask for Chris as your technician. You'll be happy you did!

Thanks Ali for coming and picking up the old pipes

These guys are amazing.  They got back to me with an estimate in 15mins, and showed up 2 hours later.  Amazing!  Friendly, fast service. We just found our go to plumbers.  Would highly recommend them.

Cody arrived on time and worked directly with my bathroom contractor; to set up a drain line for a shower. He completed all his work within the same day of meeting and cleaned up afterward. Would recommend True Value 10/10

When You Find a Great Handyman, Cling to Him Like Glue!

The door which connects the garage to the house is a Pre-hung, fire rated, self-dampening/closing hinges, heavy duty steel exterior door. It has retracting hinges which if you let the door go, it closes by itself. This door was out of alignment long time ago. The do it yourselfer that I am, I have fixed it & made it work; therefore, extended its life by 5 years. Lately the lock stopped functioning & I replaced it but it would not lock! I kept on messing with it, adjust it, readjust it and even moving around the latch but it would simply not want to lock. Then I noticed that the bottom hinge just like before, is completely out, so that is why it is not aligning & it has nothing to do with the lock! So as before, I took the hinge off, shoved some wood & glue in the 3 worn off screw holes and re-screwed the hinge back tight but it still would not lock; morely, now it would get stuck & not even completely shut!

I finally gave up because the man must know his limitation. There is a thin line between do it yourself & screwing up the job! As I had extended the life of this door by 5 years & this turn around, it would not work, I just decided to replace the complete door. So, I called Alejandro Alvizuri which is now my choice of handyman and I told him to come & replace the door.

Alvizuri was dead busy but he managed to shove me somewhere in between his appointments. He rushed over, checked the door & told me, why do you want to spend a lot of money to replace this door? This is a perfectly fine door, a very expensive door. Let's first try to align it and adjust the lock. To think of it, I looked at the door & said, yeh, there is nothing wrong with this door! You see, Alvizuri could simply replace the door & make much more money but he is a type of guy which would always try to fix things before replacing. He is a straight forward, honest man which knows what the hell he is doing.

Since my last review, Alvizuri had learned much more handyman tricks & techniques. As I have mentioned in my last review, he is a school teacher turned handyman to keep his sanity from the educational system! Even though he loves teaching but he wanted to be his own boss, have his own schedule & work on his own terms. He fixed his own house, neighbors' houses & the next thing you know, he become a professional handyman! According to Alvizuri, since he become a handyman, he is happier, calmer & his mental health is even better!

Alvizuri is a lovable man, courteous, big smile, funny & he knows what the hell he is doing; so, he will not screw up your house! I told him about his last name's history & had a scholarly chat with him.

Alvizuri = Al (The) + Vizuri (Good) = The Good

Which I prefer to call him that because he is really a good man. His name is a Spanish word, originally Arabic from the Golden Age of the Arab Caliphate Colonialism, went to West Africa & mixed with the Swahili language & from there to Morocco and Spain, when Arabo-Muslims conquered Spain. That is why a 3rd of the Spanish words are Arabic & Arabic rooted. Alvizuri is originally Hispanic & Peruvian but the originality of his name is Arabic. Now you may ask, how the hell do I know all this? Because I am a historian & a linguist amongst other things!

Alvizuri kindly shoved me in between his busy schedule & returned for a 2nd time to align the door & adjust the lock. I watched him work, so I could learn something from him. I always watch contractors work. A day you haven't learned a new is a day wasted! I noticed that Alvizuri is now even more detail oriented. He used long nails, not too long to wear out the screw holes & not too short to not make the door stable. After a neat alignment of the door & adjustment of the lock, finally he made it work & saved me big money.

Alvizuri said, let me give you a friendly advice, next time, do not mess things so bad that my job would become harder to fix it! Alvizuri is a funny guy, every time I see him, we have fun chatting about everything & laughing off during the time he does the job.

Alejandro Alvizuri is a decent, honest, humorous, courteous, knowledgeable, punctual, reasonable, hardworking handyman. Do you need anything else in a contractor? Do I know how to pick my contractors or do I know how to pick them?! I have just made your lives easier by finding you a fabulous handyman! Hire him now & you can thank me later! Yes, when You Find a Great Handyman, Cling to it like glue!

Yes, the technicians of Bill Howe Plumbing, Heating & Air do know HOWe. We selected the company after meeting with three other vendors . The final decision was boosted further by a close friend's personal recommendation of BH after their successful AC system installation just recently.
Our salesman Steve was well informed, experienced and a good listener. Since our other quotes chose different size units for our mini split systems, we were somewhat hesitant to go ahead without getting more input. Steve came back to our home a second time with the lead manager, Sean, who validated all of Steve's input and addressed some questions that came up for us after our initial meeting.

Once we chose B.H. our job was scheduled for two business days later--they showed up on that day just as promised. We received a courtesy call on day 1 to say the crew was on their way. We were very impressed with the understated respectful demeanor of both Andris and Dalton towards us and our home. In fact, they felt like houseguests grateful to be at our home, more considerate than many we've actually had here!! Even when they interacted with each other it was with mutual respect. We thought and were told it would take 1.5 to 2 days. But with some structural challenges and tight spaces to negotiate they didn't finish until late on Day 3, leaving here well past 6PM.  But not before they helped move our dresser (so we could clean behind it after drilling debris had fallen back there) , and not before they picked up any the smallest remnants of their presence in our driveway. And only after all mini ac units were go ....and we finally had air con in our hot hot hot upstairs.

As a final note, over the years of home ownership, dealing with contractors, suffering real nightmares several times, we're glad this went smoothly and are comfortable recommending the company.  Go For It!!!     SUSI & PETER

I had a great experience with this company installing a new main line liner at a commercial restaurant. It was an especially tough job being in little Italy with the foot traffic. Everything went smooth and according to budget and plan. Promises made, promises kept. The employees were courteous, knowledgeable, clean, efficient and reasonable. Thank you.

In contact with Constantin in the beginning and once we decided to go with this company, Eugene came to install. He's great! Very nice, knowledgeable, friendly. He took off his shoes without me asking. He told us step by step what to do if there are issues, etc. We are pretty excited to use our reverse osmosis!

I'd like to acknowledge the outstanding customer service recently provided by Plumbing Plus.  Just under five years ago I hired them to replace a faulty water distribution manifold located in my master bathroom ceiling.  It recently began to leak at one of the connection points and caused quite a bit of water damage to the ceiling and walls.  To their credit and even though it was well outside of warranty, the owner, Michael, without any prompting immediately sent a crew to fix the leak, then sent contractors from a water damage company, and a drywall contractor to repair the damage.  Michael personally called me, and the contractors he used were extremely professional.  Even though I hoped they would take care of it even out of warranty, I'm very glad that Michael didn't think twice about it and put customer service above the contract...the type that will keep me coming back.  Thanks Michael.

They are always accommodating and Friendly. Jen is always very courteous and works around my schedule to ensure my backflow system is inspected yearly.

The work and Hunter Grap, the technician were great!  The only reason I gave 4 star was because of a misunderstanding.  I'm the end the work was top notch and Hunter Grap very professional.

Steve came immediately he was responsive solve a very stressful problem very quickly. I was very impressed and would highly recommend CPL to anyone who asked.

I've worked with Mastercraft on multiple projects and highly recommend their quality of services and professionalism.  I had 4 sink faucets installed, and have only great thing to say about the quality, pricing and quick turnaround with my project.  Thank you for once again doing a great job!
