Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

My water heater repair request was sent to 5 service providers randomly by Yelp, and JM plumbing was one of the three responded within an hour. Although their quote was not the cheapest and they had no reviews in Yelp, but I was convinced they were the best technician for the job because how sincere and knowledgeable they showed over the conversation. I did not regret my choice. JM was very responsive to requests and flexible on schedule. They got job done professionally.

We just bought a home in the San Jose area and needed to find someone who could pipe in a water and gas line for our washer and dryer.  We called around and had several not so great experiences- such as one company quoting us over the phone without even bothering to come out.  Oddly enough, we were recommended to call Gladiator by several different sources, and that's who we went with.  Joe came out to take a look, was punctual (actually, he was early), and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.  He took the time to make sure we understood what he would recommend doing, while leaving it up to us to decide the extent of the work we wanted to do at this time. It was great to have some options laid out for you, and to know exactly what you were paying for.  After discussing our options the office sent out a contract for us letting us know what would be done and the cost, and they came very shortly after to start the work!  Everything went very smoothly.  They seemed comfortable explaining what they were doing as they were doing it, and paired up with us frequently to check how we would like something done, or where we would want something placed.  It was very comforting to know that they cared that we were 100% happy with the results.  Any questions we had were answered thoroughly, and they all very obviously enjoyed their job.  It sounds like a minor thing, but seeing how they worked together and the overall cheerfulness of each of them was very impressive and spoke volumes about the company.  When they were done, they cleaned up after themselves and were on their way.

Our biggest concern was finding someone trust-worthy, because really, when someone comes into your home and crawls under your house to do some work, how can you know it's done correctly? Needless to say when the work was completed, everything was done to perfection, and the price we paid was more than fair for the amount of work and materials.  If you are looking for quality plumbing and great service, these are your guys!  Thanks a bunch!

We had drainage problem in our bathrooms and called Mark (Triton Plumbing) after finding him here on YELP.  He returned our call and came out right away. He solved our problem very quickly and was personable as well as highly professional.  

Mark is more concerned with providing quality work than over charging.  I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I needed to find a pipe under my cement patio and have it capped as there was a bad leak backyard that prevented me from having the water on inside the house. I've been dealing with this for almost 3 weeks for a variety of reasons. Felipe came out and was able to locate the pipe under the cement using a pipe finding tool. To make a long (and technically complex) story short, He located the pipe and was able to cap It off which stopped the leak in the sprinkler system. I now have running water in my house (yay!) and Now just need to lay 20 feet of pipe to bypass the old and damaged underground galvanized waterline that we capped off.

Jose set it all up and Even called me to tell me that Felipe would be about 10 minutes late! Felipe came out on New Year's Eve and I am ecstatic That I could start the new year with this problem behind me. Thank you so much, and I would not hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone I know.

Thank you 5 Star Plumbing for coming to the rescue when my shower got clogged! As a woman with long hair, it's inevitable for the drain to clog from time to time. I was having visitors come over and needed to have this situation fixed ASAP! I called 5 Star Plumbing and they gave me a reasonable quote and were able to come super fast! They did a great job and offered tips on how to prevent future clogs. Thanks for the fast service and well trained staff!

I originally gave four star because it is considered good. However, Paul responded rudely telling me I never booked him and he never confirmed. He even lied I did not reply to his question. I have attached part of our conversation's screenshot and you judge it yourself. I can post our whole conversation how responsive I am if necessary -- always within 24 hours if not same-day.

Original four-star post: I booked Paul last week for services tomorrow. Communication and price have been okay. They just canceled tonight because of his knee injury.

Responsive, prompt, flexible, efficient and a great end-result overall with reasonable price.
I will definitely give them a call first when I have future home repair work.

My bathtub faucet was leaking, so I asked for an online quote from 4-5 nearby plumbers through Yelp. RPS was the first to get back to me, so I asked them to come over to inspect the problem and provide their free estimate. The dispatcher was very professional, and they said they would be able to come today itself, anywhere between 3-5 PM. That's about where the pleasantries ended.

As 5 PM approached, I reached out to RPS and they notified me that their plumber was running late. No big deal, I understand that happens.

The plumber shows up at 6:30 PM and says he has forgotten shoe covers and the tool to turn on and off the water flow to the house. We were able to work around that, and that was a non-issue.

Now we get to the worst part: he estimates $690 for a cartridge replacement, and $1800 for some valve-thing fix if the cartridge replacement doesn't work. We say no and he heads out. He comes back and says he has talked to his supervisor and they can replace the cartridge for $375, but the potential $1800 fix might still be needed.

We said no, bought a replacement cartridge for $50, talked to a Home Depot employee for 20 minutes, and fixed the faucet ourselves in 30 minutes.

I am 100% sure they estimated $690 and $375 based on the location and condition of our house. When I reached out to the 4-5 plumbers, one of them said they would charge $275 for a cartridge replacement online.

I would look elsewhere for your plumbing needs.

Russell was quick to respond, friendly and very professional at the job.
Definitely recommended.

Everything was great! Our water heater started leaking on a Tuesday night - Eric came out Wednesday morning for a free estimate and completed the install later that day.

I highly recommend JTR Plumbing and we have already scheduled them to come back and re pipe our home!

A few month back my mom was complaining about her faucet being difficult to operate and that she wanted it replaced. I saw the great reviews on yelp and reached out. Shane was quick to respond, we set up an appointment and he can and conquered the extremely stubborn faucet. But the replacement faucet was to tall. Shane scheduled a call back the following day  so my mom could go and find something that had a suitable replacement. She ran in to Shane at the hardware store and he helped he select a better replacement. The next day he came and set the new faucet in place and mom was happy.
Now come this week, we found that her electric tankless water heater is leaking and she calls Shane on Sunday and he was so nice to stop by and see what was going on. He told us to shut off the breakers to the water heater and that he would return Monday to look at it and walked us through the options to replace it. We gave him the green light and he ordered the replacement and returned Wednesday with his electrician and removed the old unit and installed the new unit and mom is happy to have hot water.
We highly recommend Good 1 Minor Plumbing.

Leo consistently delivered an excellent job with his workmanship. Very responsive and his pricing is very comparative and reasonable. Call him for your all plumbing needs, I'm sure he won't disappoint you. Thank you Leo. Keep up your good work!

I had the standard clogged sync on a Thursday evening and I called Rooter Hero and they said they had availability. The first concern was after hour plumbing fees and they said their fees are the same regardless of hour. When asking about cost they said they will come and give an estimate before any work, and I can just say 'no thanks' if I want. Then when I confirmed they said a plumber would be out within an hour.

Within an hour David M. arrived and assessed the situation and provided a quote. I approved and with a simple snake and 20 minutes the issue was resolved. David put everything back as to how it was before he arrived and we were done.

Great service!

I had a fair amount of under-house water supply line that needed to be replaced, in addition to some reworking of the kitchen water/drain lines.

Mario led the effort and spent a full week working through a variety of issues, keeping me fully informed and involved in the process.

It didn't help that it was hot weather and that there were many obstacles (foundation and ductwork) under the house.   They were troopers, for sure.

Mario and his team kept all in-house work areas perfectly clean, and went out of their way to keep most of our water turned on both during the day and overnight.  This was especially helpful since we were working from home due to COVID.

Much appreciation for the quality of their work, the attention to detail, keeping me fully in the loop, and for just being nice and friendly.

Thanks, Mario and team!

Very pleased with Counsil Plumbing.

When a different plumber wanted to charge us $3000 to dig up our driveway and replace the sewer main, Mike showed us how the other plumber had mis-diagnosed the problem, and that work wasn't needed at all.  He saved us $3000 and didn't charge us.

Later, we had Mike return to install two toilets.  On his recommendation, we had ordered the toilets ourselves directly from the retailer to save on the price; one of them turned out to have been damaged in shipping, and Mike took it and had it exchanged without charging us for his trouble.

The work was done well and professionally, and Mike is a pleasure to deal with.

Nathaniel replied promptly to my request and came the same morning to fix the issue. Would recommend and use him again for a future project. Thanks, Nathaniel!

Aaron is the best! He was quick to respond, educate you  of your options, and give you a competitive quote! I found him on Yelp and read the reviews. I'm so happy that I did! We got a water softener installed. It was super quick and he was so helpful. If you're in San Jose and need a plumber, give him a call! I already recommended him to my neighbors :)

I had a huge plumbing problem at my house. Called and in less than an hour Albert and Luis showed up. We needed a camera to examine the issue more so their manager Giovanni came by. These guys were by far professional and knew exactly what needed to be done. I felt bad they were working late so I hooked them up with some dinner! But these guys were amazing. Couldn't have asked for more knowledgeable plumbers to stop by!! THANKS!

Had a couple issues with a shower and a toilet.  Trevin made time to come out within a day and took care of both issues quickly.  Great to have another reliable plumbing service in town.
