Best Businesses in San Jose, CA

Everything I needed when my old hot water heater started leaking. Juan was exceptionally professional as he explained and discussed in detail what options- tankless vs. tank, costs, including additional piping and permits that might be required. He advised me without upsale as I live on SSDI. The price was fair and exact with no hidden fees. He used higher quality straps and a pan that hadn't existed before. I'm highly recommend this business.

I am so pleased with Nick's advice, resources and specific expertise. He answered my questions and I decided after checking his Contractor License with excellent references. Then he accepted pictures of the fixtures, before I purchased them. (So I send a 5 star review of the our collaboration in progress.)

Nick arrived on time (as planned days in advance) and the work was done as quoted. So here is a second 5 star review. Because I am so delighted. The work looks great. The shower safety grab bars are literally what the Doctor ordered.

I highly recommend Nick, the Ye Olde Contractor!

Simply Green plumbing has done a great job helping us since we bought our house a few months ago.  The installation of a very good whole house water filter system was performed in a very professional way and gives us the option to turn off the house water while on vacation but still allow the sprinklers to work.  The installers spent plenty of time explaining to us how the system works and how to replace the one pre-filter.
I also feel very confident that if we have any problems with the system Simply Green will help resolve them, especially since they are a very established and reputable company in Los Gatos.
Just today we had some work done on our guestroom bath tub and Michael came out earlier than expected and took care of the problem in a matter of minutes. As usual, he wore booties before coming into the house. Our guest bath tub and shower now looks very presentable to company.

Kevin is amazing! I had some plumbing issues, because the house is old and needs a lot of attention. He took the time to carefully explain everything to me, took pictures of the rusted pipes, and helped fix the plumbing in the kitchen and bathroom area. I found him to be very reliable and knowledgeable about his craft. I highly recommend reaching out to him! He also worked on several houses in our area that are being remodeled and was referred to me by my neighbor across the street.

Johnny's the man!  He just came by and fixed our warehouses leaking toilet.  We had another plumber come out and attempt to fix this toilet about 6 months ago, but with no results.  Johnny quickly diagnosed what the issue was and explained the solution to us in detail.  He did exactly what he said he would do, and now the toilet is as good as new.  I found Citywide Plumbing on Yelp, so I feel inclined to leave another great 5 star review.  It's well deserved.  Thanks again Johnny & Citywide Plumbing.

Reed plumbing is a wonderful service.
I made an appointment and I got a call asking me if I was available earlier than the appointment was for. I said yes and they arrived within a few minutes. I showed Pepe the problem he quickly assessed and advised me of what had to be done. He then quite rapidly repaired the problem quickly and efficiently. I am very satisfied with the repairs and excellent service. I Would be happy to refer all of my friends to this great service.

Our toilets were overflowing Wednesday night, I reached out for quotes through yelp.  Gator Rooter was one of the first to respond on yelp and call me Thursday morning. Nestor came 20-30ish mins after calling me. He used the camera which he quoted 250 to see what the root of the problem was.  He saw toilet paper waded up like paste and then went out to check the pipes under our home. After inspecting the pipes he showed us pictures of corrosion of the steel pipes and leakage. He suggested we repipe to fix the the leakages and pluming all together. He quoted us a little over 6k and we all agreed on 6K. Nestor went for parts and started before his team of two (who looked really young though - I am no ageist but hope they were part of Gator Rooter as they were not in uniform as Nestor was which is bit of concern). My husband had though he had asked him the pipes are going to be replaced by the same style pipes which were steel but he ended up saying no - maybe miscommunication in the original conversation. They were replaced with plastic pipes which he reassured us are best and being used everywhere and should last more than 20-30 years (we really hope this is true as we are no experts). When they were down there fixing they noticed another part that for the toilets (toilet connection and it was rusty and old) that were a issue and suggested we replaced he confirmed he could do it for a additional 600, he did both toilets. All in all Nestor was profession, showed us pictures, kept us informed, worked diligently and checked every toilet, sinks and showers to ensure everything was working great before leaving. He confirmed he could get the job done by 6 or 7pm, he was almost exact he was done and left around 6:22ish (very impressed)! Nestor gave us his personal card should we need anything additional in the future, which we certainly will. I would recommend Gator /Nestor to my family and friends!! Thanks Nestor and Gator team!!

I needed to replace my vanity in short notice and Tegene Handyman service responded within minutes. He came the next day and finished the job thoroughly and professionally. Definitely would recommend to friends and family.

I woke up to a plumbing emergency in my kitchen and needed help clearing the line. After reviewing the YELP reviews I called Art who called me back within an hour and came out to the house immediately. He not only cleared up the problem but talked me through the procedure so I would know what to do should it happen again.

He gets my enthusiastic recommendation.

Shower draining slowly. Called about 11:30 and they were here at about 2. Quick, effective, painless, with great service. Very happy with the results.

Good job by Joe and Dustin! The heater room space was very tight, so they had to be inventive in order to pull the old water heater out and fit the new heat pump water heater in. Thanks!

Josh has done many jobs at my old house.  He is honest, professional, beyond reasonable, and extremely dependable.  By far the BEST plumber in the valley!!!  Thank you Josh:-)

Enrique answered the phone when I called this morning and within an hour was on-site to auger a shower drain. I really appreciate how quickly he was able to address the problem and make it right. He was reasonably priced given the immediate need. Thank you.

They are probably good for new installation. I approached them for HVAC service. I have a 7 year old trane HVAC. Conventional (& internet) wisdom says they are atleast reliable for 8 more years.
The representatives checked condensor coil & evaporation coil and declared that condensor coil is leaking refrigerant. The best part - I was shown a spot in the ground inside the condensor unit and was told that was the leak. Refrigerant leaks & evaporates - doesn't leave stains like oil.
After a long winded pitch they ended up saying that it is not worth to repair the condensor (which is true if it is actually faulty, not in my case).
Apparently they are a Lennox preferred dealer & tried quoting me a $10k replacement system. They quoted $650 just for 3lbs of refrigerant recharge which is way above the market rate.
I ended fixing the problem with sealant & refrigerant recharge which cost me $500 all in all.  
3 stars- they were courteous & polite throughout the interaction; easy to schedule appointment; Arrived on time. Approach them if you have finalized on installing a Lennox system - may be you will get a good deal.

And learn about the appliances in your home; understand their maintenance schedule & weak points. Don't be like me - calling every HVAC tom dick & harry on a hot weekend like a mad man.

Work was done fine.
Charges were a problem.
1. Charged for a helper $60 surprise
2. Charged for 2 hours total for 1 hours work,  they had to go to the store for a standard part (also brought back breakfast) ( took 1 hour)
3. Charged me with no mark-up for a $20part  - over $100

I came home to a leaking water heater and frantically started calling around to get a quote for a replacement water heater.  I sent him a few photos of the situation and he was able to give me a quote for the job.  He came the next day and had the water heater installed and working quickly.

Guy plumbing installed an automatic gas shut-off valve for us. Since we live in earthquake country this will hopefully be a great safety feature. They were quick, professional, and courteous!

Mike D is the best!! Very Professional, very thorough and provided suggestions on improving my system.  Thanks again! Highly recommend! He fully inspected the work and repaired what was required.

They've done great work on my plumbing and now on my
A/C unit. The young men that work there are always polite and their prices are very reasonable!

Routine service, annual check with these guys who are contractor for one hour service plan. The plan charge is 20 per month. Using a power wrench, the one guy stripped the top cathode bolt and kept going until every speck of rust in the heater was let loose and completely clogged hot water system for house and required immediate replacement of water heater. Expecting two people the next day but only one shows up? Took entire day and 3400 dollars. I was suckered and don't want the same thing to happen to another senior.
