Best Plumbing Services 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.

Why doesn't Yelp provide a 10- star rating?!  You know what I'm talking about when you receive such outstanding service from a company/individual that deserves that recognition.   Nick is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to knowledge in the construction field and know-how.  Over the years he has fixed many things for me. I have referred him to my neighbor,  and he currently is working at my mother's house, which is a 60 year old home.  He is doing electrical work, dishwasher repairs, new door installation,  handicap grab bars in the shower and at the toilet.  He has fixed cabinet doors in her RV too. Repaired her hardwood floors and installed new kitchen lighting. Oh and gate repairs.  He was busy last year and couldn't get to me on such short notice.  I hired someone else...NEVER will I make that mistake again.

All the positive reviews are true.  Jessica was unbelievably polite and accommodating to help get us the perfect appointment time.  She then called a couple hours before the appointment time to say our plumber was running AHEAD of schedule that day and wanted to see if we wanted him to arrive EARLY.  Yes please.  Then our plumber Wilver was fantastic.  Also super polite, knew his stuff, and suggested ways for us to save money.  Fixed our problems lickety-split.  Obviously when you are a very good plumber it is easy to stay on schedule and even be early sometimes.  We will definitely use Simply Green Plumbing for our future plumbing needs.

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.

If you need an outstanding plumber, have Johnny do the job. He replaced a segment of sewer line that had become clogged up with tree roots. First, he showed up right on time for the estimate. He was meticulous in his measurements and did not charge me to use the camera in the line (the previous plumber tried to charge me $200 for that!). He found out that only 11' of pipe needed to be replaced whereas the other plumber wanted to replace 15'.

Next, he showed up right on time to do the work. The work required hauling equipment and materials up and down 3 long flights of stairs outside the house--he and his co-worker did this cheerfully and without complaint. He let me know when they were going for lunch and to pick up materials, minimized the amount of time when I had to shut off the water, and showed me the work and materials as the job progressed to be sure I approved before it all got buried again under the dirt.  When it was all done, everything was back in perfect order--the stairs he had to remove were replaced with screws instead of nails (thank you!), the dirt was back in its place, all the old pipes and joints were hauled off, and the entire area swept up and pristine.

Johnny is a true professional--he is knowledgeable, honest, easy to work with, takes good care of your property and the areas around the work he is doing, friendly, and all around fantastic. He walked me through his recommendations and clearly explained the reasons for the decisions. Oh and did I mention that the price was very reasonable??

I put off having this work done because I couldn't find a decent plumber. If I had known sooner about Johnny, I would have done it a few years ago! I highly recommend him. I will not use any other plumbers in the future.

Turned on our shower Thanksgiving morning to find water shooting across the bathroom.  Turned off the water to the whole house and started calling plumbers (and yes, we were hosting for the holiday).  Reed Plumbing was the only one that responded.  He texted that he was out of town for the holiday and would guide us through some solutions over the phone.  We went back and forth a few times and it was confirmed we needed parts.  We didn't use their actual service this time but were so taken back by their kindness, technical knowledge, and customer service that they will be our go-to plumbers for any work in the future.  Thank you Reed Plumbing!  We were grateful for your assistance this Thanksgiving.

Toilet backing water out late at night. Got a quote from Gator, immediate reply and appointment set up next morning 8:30.

Highly recommend.

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've used Art Hansen twice and  he was excellent both times.
He is available and on time. He really knows what he's doing. He does a very good job. His prices are very fair and reasonable.

He is a very honest, fair, skilled person. Whatever he says needs  to be done that's what needs to be  done  and whatever price he charges is a fair price.

I trust him.

Fantastic service responding to a leaking kitchen drain. Replaced aging pipe and identified secondary leak on faucet and replaced that as well. After Hour Plumbing & Drain will definitely be our go-to company for any future plumbing services.

On a Saturday afternoon, we called Palo Alto Plumbing and were given a 2 hour window. They arrived EARLY and completed the furnace repair in 5 minutes tops. Max was cordial, competent and wonderful with my 91 year old Mother.  We were so grateful that they were there for us and got her heat back on. Thank you Max and Palo Alto Plumbing!!!

i got a new washer and gas dryer then realized i needed all the water and gas pipes done. i called josh and his crew they came out on date on time as expected ready to work. very friendly and professional. i am how you can say a little ocd and i was amazed how centered and level everything was when i came out and i think my yard was cleaner than when they got there. i trust these guys to do all my plumbing work home and business  and know that it will be done up and above normal standards.

I've used Henry's several times and always find them to be accommodating, efficient, and competent.  They're my go to for any plumbing problems.

Since my original review was removed. I am going to post one of the email messages. Be aware of this company they charged us $1,350 for less than 2 hours of work:

Dear Ms. Amelia:

We appreciate the work for our home which was completed yesterday by Salvador and Renee. While they were here, fixed two outlets (each cost $295.50 to replace (the work was may be 5 minutes each), as you can see the second one with multiple switches, only the bottom middle was broken so that was replaced, after I took this photo this evening, I am certain only the broken switch was replaced not the whole unit.  We live in the bay area so may be that is why this seems high.

Salvador took down a pendant light and put up a new one which took him approximately 20 to 25 minutes and it was $365.50. (during putting it up, he cracked the glass which we replaced ourselves last night.)

What really is bothersome is the following. We asked them to check whether the problem with our monitor was with the outlet or the ,monitor itself. They tested the outlet and tested the monitor in the room also tried it in another plug in other room, and concluded that the problem was with the monitor. Thus they provided a diagnosis, which was useful. The total amount of time was at most 15 or 20 minutes.

However for this diagnosis, while they were already on site, we were charged $389.00.

This seems very excessive to us for a brief diagnosis. We would appreciate if some of this excessive charge can be refunded back to us.

We would like to leave a positive review.

Found a copy of the original review:

BEWARE: On Jan 18, 2023, technician, Salvador Valencia (he asked me to mention his name when I give a review) arrived with a trainee, Renee. Told them I needed two wall sockets replaced, a pendant light replaced, and to check out the wall socket in our home office. Asked for their hourly rate and he said $150 but he would talk to his manager and see what they can do. They go out to the truck, came back and was approved to give me a package deal and showed it on his I-Pad. Sign here and sign here. I told them again that I don't want to be overcharged, he assured me that all their prices were in a book and offered to all customers. Renee, replaced the two wall sockets in less than 5 minutes each, $295.50 each. Salvador replaced the pendant light in 20 to 25 minutes for $365.00 and cracked the glass which we had to replace. As for the not working wall socket, after spending 15 or 20 minutes, they charged a diagnostic fee of $389.00. Turned out nothing is wrong with the socket it was the small monitor that was not working. I texted, Ayla, the support staff who was courteous and responsive, and asked for the name of the project manager, Amelia Strugala Rojas, who I emailed on Jan 19, 2023. She emailed back on Jan 24, 2023, to stated electrical manager Juan Conchas tried to contact me. But you know how cell phones are, shows all in coming and missed calls. Not one call. Then on Jan 25, 2023, Ms. Rojas assured me that Mr. Conchas would call me that day. Not one call. So here is my review. I was overcharged and made good faith effort to work with this company to recover some of my hard earned money. I would not recommend them as they charged me $1,345.00 for less than 2 hours of work, however, it does come with 20 year warranty.
Services: Electrical outlet & switch repair, Light fixture repair

The great reviews are true--Eldridge & Sons offer knowledgeable, responsive service. First, they call you back. Surprising how many trades do not. They were able to come out immediately and fix our plumbing issue. I would use again and highly recommend.

I used VIP plumbing to install an RO filter that I bought on Amazon back in October. Vince was very prompt in responding to my request and was on time for the job. Right from the start seeing his work, it was clear he was highly experienced. His work was extremely neat and professional. Vince is a really friendly person too.. I would definitely recommend him and I would use VIP plumbing for my future plumbing needs.

We've had several excellent experiences with this company.  Mostly recently, they replaced the pilot light assembly on our hot water heater.  As other folks have stated, fast & friendly service with very high ethical standards (e.g. lady on phone counseled me to try re-light procedure on pilot  before incurring cost of service call, clearly stated cost estimates for work to be performed, stated min work time, etc.). I completely trust these guys.  Bonus points for being a local business!  And for the Guy Plumbing pencils they give you after a visit - old school! :-). Highly recommend.

Came in and was trying to keep telling us his services without trying do do any concrete analysis of the issue.

Also kept avoiding Yelp coupon for variety of reasons.

Disappointed!

Great company! While they weren't able to solve our tricky problem, they were very responsive and waived our service fee due to this issue. Would recommend them!

They quoted me $450 for seismic strapping of a water heater.
Another plummer, Marc Morrow, did the job for $100.
I don't know what they were thinking, I guess they thought I must be some kind of idiot to accept that quote.
