Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

I had a shower backing up which I suspected meant the sewer main was probably backed up.

Called Midas after finding them on yelp.  They quoted a price and thought that might be  a bit high so I shopped around.

Went with another plumber due to an ad for much less.  After the other guys came and tried to snake for only 15 min, they started to quote me for installing a new cleanout($$) since they said they couldn't get snake around the pipe bends from where they were trying. I sent those people away and tried more of my self help.

The next day I called back Midas to see what they could do.  After a little more effort than the other guys(~100 feet of snaking), my sewer main was cleared. Yay!

Wrote James from Midas a check and was pleased with the service. I felt Midas tried to really solve the problem w/out trying to simply gouge me for money in my time of need.

Will definitely keep Midas' number handy for my plumbing needs.

Be Very careful with this company.  I had them out to give me an estimate on finishing up a bathroom in my house.  Everything was already roughed in, it was just the finish work and tying in the plumbing under the house.  I am a HVAC contractor and own my own business so I know how it is with some of the smaller jobs, that there isn't a lot of money to be made on them. This however does not excuse giving an estimate for 3.5 X the amount of another company that ended up finishing the work.  Fantastic Rotter quoted me $2200 and told me it would take a crew all day to complete.  I had the work done today by another company they had the work done before noon and only charged $600... If you don't want the work I understand be honest don't try to overcharge so you can make up for the rest of your day. I urge anyone reading this get more than one estimate for your work.  I don't like writing negative reviews because I know how they can affect a company, but I dislike dishonest companies even more.

Able was responsive, speedy, and efficient in their service. We needed both a septic pump and some plumbing cleared and both were completed in a matter of hours. Their technicians were polite and professional.

Drain was cleared; but, I called the day before and was told plumber would arrive between 10 am and 2pm the next day.  Didn't arrive by 2 so I called and was told an hour  Didn't show until after 4pm.  Last time I used this company, Tim did the job and charged me $68.  This time, James did it and charged me $176......NOT OK........I expected $88 for one hour and swear James stalled it out to be maybe 5 minutes into the next hour and squeezed me for another full $88.  Fifteen Dollar Sewer & Drain my ass!!!!!!!!  Won't use again!!!!!!!!

I had experiences with a lot of plumbers and Israr and his crew is a delight to work with

Let me break down my experience

1. I used Yelp to Request a Quote on a Sunday. Israr responded under an hour and was very transparent on expectations and pricing. We was willing to work with me over text to look at photos of the job areas and was able to give me a fair pricing. He was even able to schedule next day, to get the work done.

2. Israr came out with his crew. Showed him the job areas and he they went to work immediately. Great professionalism and they tested everything.

The workmanship looks and tested great. I'm very happy with the results.

Israr was very easy to communicate from the Request for Quote moment through paying the bill.

Being friendly is not a requirement as the quality of work and timeliness matters more. As an added bonus, Israr and his crew were friendly throughout and patiently answered my questions.

I would hire them again for future jobs. Thank you!

We've had John here on two separate occasions. He'd likely be the first one we call if we need anything. We highly recommend him. He's fixed faucets, doors, toilets. If he can't fix it, he'll let you know.

We had a main sewer line blockage on this President Day weekend, and based on Yelp Reviews, we contacted PLUMBTREE PLUMBING of San Jose. They were able to come out just a couple hours later, and attempted to roto-rooter our exceptionally long sewer line (130 feet out to the street city pipe). They  hit an immovable blockage far along the way and it turned out  that we needed a high pressure HydroJetting of the line to clear the blockage.   After  hydrojetting, they did a visual inspection of the entire sewer line using a fiber optic snake, which I could also view on the screen, confirming that our entire sewer line was now completely free of any more problem areas.  We were so relieved!
We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the wonderful Staff at PLUMBTREE PLUMBING to anyone looking for a top notch plumbing company that is easy to work with and does high quality work at a fair price!

Let me start with the bottom line, which most of you are interested in anyway. The long details follow.

Jeremy of Bullseye Leak Detection did a great job for me. he was prompt, honest, professional, competent and instilled confidence. That's exactly what I look for when I need to hire someone to correct a problem. Bottom line:
 1 - Did he do a good job  = YES
 2 - Would I hire him again? = YES
 3 - Would I recommend him to friends? = YES

the details:

I had a water leak somewhere between the meter and my house. I live on a hillside which complicates finding a water pipe leak much more difficult.

Not knowing where to start,  I started digging around where i thought the leak was originating based on wetness and water patterns until I thought I found the leak location. I had several plumbers give an estimate based on where I suspected the leak was. One plumber gave a quick estimate, another immediately suggested I replace the whole line and one gave an estimate but strongly suggested I hire a leak detection service to verify the location.  He recommended Jeremy at Bullseye Leak Detection. As it  turned out, it was a good suggestion. Jeremy found the leak in a completely different location and it probably saved me a lot of time, frustration and money.

.... more details (long and boring) ....

I called Jeremy late Wed evening and he called me back promptly. We discussed service and price and he arrived on time the next morning. we spent a few hours searching and digging for the leak and found some possible locations but he had a prior appointment he had to go to. He promised he'd come back as soon as he could and gave me an estimated time. When he returned, he resumed the search and  found an entirely different location that was he was sure was the problem. Some digging confirmed the leak location.

I think Jeremy went far beyond his initial and primary responsibilities. it was a hot day and the hillside was pretty messy with mud. Jeremy helped me dig till we finally located the leak. Jeremy also helped me fill in the many trenches we dug earlier. I would have paid more than double or triple his fee if I would have repaired my initial leak location.

After the plumber returned and examined the location, he was confident Jeremy had located the leak. The plumber repaired the pipe and turned the water back on. It's now been a week and there are no more signs of any water leaking anywhere on the hillside.

For what it's worth, I've read many reviews before selecting a contractor. I especially focus on the 1 star reviews. Many times, it seems that the 1 star reviews are the result of miscommunication and missed expectations of unrealisitic costs and time frames.

We were renovating our closet space and needed to move the existing water pipes that ran to our bathroom.  Once we opened up some of the walls, we saw that the pipes were old rusty/corroded galvanized pipes that were just an accident waiting to happen.  We had a few companies bid on re-piping with copper and ultimately choose Quality Plus Plumbing.  

First of all, I was able to reach someone by telephone right away (I had called many companies and left many messages, of which only some calls were returned).  Second, they were able to schedule me very quickly.  Rob and Shibli arrived very promptly.  They were very courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and I did not feel like they were trying to sell me (as I felt with previous contractors).  Lastly, they quoted a very reasonable price as compared to my other quotes, they were able to start work quickly (within 2 days), and they had good YELP reviews to back them up.  And yes, they are licensed, bonded, and insured.

After we had already agreed to the contract, I phoned up Rob to ask if he could also re-pipe the hallway that led up to our bathroom as well (about an extra 7 feet).  Rob not only agreed to my last minute request but also offered to do the work without extra labor charge (I would only have to pay the extra cost of the copper pipes).  

On the scheduled work day, Rob and his crew arrived 15 minutes early.  They brought drop clothes and lined their work path.  They were well organized and started work right away.  After cutting out drywall and exposing more pipes they informed me that the section already had copper plumbing and the old galvanized pipes that were there were no longer in use but just left there.  So, all they charged me a nominal fee for the time they were there to cut and remove the old pipes.  I felt terrible that I wasted all their time (scheduling their whole day for our job, bringing their crew for a job that 1 person could have done, etc.) but Rob and Shibli were so pleasant and thought it was great news that we found out that the whole house had copper pipes.  Rob even checked over the exposed copper pipes just to make sure that the work was done correctly (and thankfully, he said that they did a good job).  They vacuumed up all the debris and left the house pretty much the way they found it (minus the drywall they removed to expose the pipes).  

So glad that we decided to go with this company, even though it ended up that there really was not much work to do.  We will definitely use them again for any plumbing services and would highly recommend them to our friends and fellow YELPERS.

5/5 stars for a reason, came over looked at my leak. Said it was the dish washer and I could easily replace it myself and save lots of $$. Didn't charge me a penny! They're now saved in my contacts list as The Plumber because I'm not going to bother with anyone else!

Quick to respond to the quote, communicative and fast in fixing the problem with fair price. Dominick was very nice and efficient in completing the job.

Excellent service. I needed a gas control valve on my water heater. To my surprise the valve was under warranty. I paid for the labor and I thought that was fair. This shop is great. They do the job right and come to  your home on time. I have use Marti's  plumbing twice and I will use them again

Quick easy great customer service. Highly recommended helped install my Rheem water heater. Was on time and made sure everything was done right.

Mario called me back right away and came to fix the leak in my sink the same day! He was very professional and friendly. He explained everything he would be doing and why very clearly. He's efficient and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.

Khan was very skilled in fixing our leaky toilet. he was very nice and answered all of our questions. we are sure to request help from him again.

Spoken to Chris over the phone. He was super prompt in responding and honest. Gave me a few options regarding my clogged garbage disposal. Answered all my questions. Definitely recommend!!

Called Trench Free at 7:00am about a visible leak in our water line running to the main line in our 1960's era track home. By 9:00am they had come out to see the issue and do an estimate, at 10:00am we signed the estimate, and by 12:30 guys were at our house getting right to work. It's now 5:45pm and they've been gone for an hour, the job finished and no trace of them even being here. I think my lawn actually looks nicer than it did before they dug one small area for access.

The guys doing the work were efficient, honest and 100% professional. The price was fair.  And I cannot say enough about how quick and painless the entire process was.

If you live in a 50-year old house, have been pretending the galvanized pipes under your front lawn are just fine, and you've grown accustomed to having running water, maybe you should call these guys.

Abel was extremely responsive and out of 6 other vendors I contacted he offered the most competitive rate. He confirmed availability right away and his team was nothing but professional, proficient, and extremely pleasant to work with. They replaced 2 toilets with new ones and we're done in less than an hour. Bonus point- wore booties without us even asking. 10/10 would 100% recommend and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

I managed an HVAC and Insulation company for years.  I know all to well what it means to EARN a 5 star rating.  Michael provides a free consulation with no 'hard' sale during the visit.  Michael and his crew are professional timely with their jobs.  He replaced our shower valve and threw in a free shower head!  Our tub no longer leaks and looks GREAT!  I highly recommend Pure Plumbing Solutions for all your plumbing needs!

The review is only for an estimate I was given. The estimator came the next morning within their 2 hour window and was friendly and explained everything I needed to do to change out my water heater. The only reason why I gave this company 3 stars is because I wasn't handed an estimate with the details of what they would do to install my water heater and their prices were the highest of the 3 companies I had asked for a bid from that morning.

Perhaps other services with this company are more reasonable.
