Best Plumbing Services in San Jose, CA

We had issues with our back shower and front shower, every six months had some kind of back up.  We contacted NG and they assessed what needed to be done and they were on time, reliable and very upfront with what they were going to do.  We had to have 60 feet of old corrosive pipe replaced and their pricing was very fair and they got it done in one day!  They also replaced out toilet in our back shower.  Please give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

I definitely recommend the Ye Olde Handyman. He has a lot of knowledge about so many things when it come to the repairs you need. I first used Ye Olde Handyman to install electrical for my new hot tub. Ye Olde Handyman has also taken care of the repairs of rotted roof along with the removal of the chimney. Now that the roof is patched any chimney gone time to have him tear out the fire place and patch the floor.

We would definitely use Simply Green Plumbing again. Gary and his team did an amazing job on a copper re-pipe in our house. They patiently explained what needs to be done, quoted a fair price, and made sure everything works correctly.

I was having an issue with our washing machine backing up into the bath tub and then the bath tub not draining.  Kevin arrived on time and was very professional throughout his time working in the house.  He wore a mask and shoe protectors and nicely folded my bathroom rugs and put his own work mat down.  Snaked the drain thoroughly and then cleaned up after himself, replacing my rugs when finished.
I'd highly recommend this company to anyone needing plumbing service.  I've definitely got his card at the top of my stack now!

Johnny is the best. I had destroyed my garbage disposal by putting Drano in it for ten years (yes, I'm an idiot) and water was leaking all over my kitchen floor. Johnny was on-the-spot literally within a couple of hours and fixed me up with a brand new disposal in a flash. While he was there, he even ungunked our bathroom sink (free of charge) and showed me how to do it myself with a cheap zipper snake you can get on Amazon for a couple of bucks. Now that's great customer service!

Marco did excellent work at my parents house. I am in the trades and can spot a good company from bad and I have to say, reed plumbing is a legitimate place where they offer excellent customer service, quick response, effective communication and quality work. My parents felt good about having him in their home and they are elderly.

I'm super impressed with the service and income from a background of 10 years of electrical service.

Andres and his assistant are very swift and professional. I initiated my project on Yelp in Friday afternoon, they responded in 10 min, showed up shortly and fixed the water shut off valve in 20min? Highly recommended!

My tenants had a handful of issues that popped up - toilet valve had an issue where the toilet kept running, a leak in the dishwasher vent causing water to go under and above, and an issue with the microwave range hood not delivering ventilation. I reached out to a number of handyman services and this one was quick, responsive, and able to address all three of them. They provided availability and quickly coordinated with my tenants to pick schedule. On the day of, they gave my tenants a one-hour window, were prompt, and had two repairmen show up. They finished in 45 minutes and since they were able to finish quicker than they anticipated, they actually discounted the price that they initially quoted me. All three issues were taken care of quickly, my tenants were pleased, and I would definitely use them again for future repair needs.

I called just before 7:00 am and Mr Hansen answered. He had figured out my issue, had a replacement part and was at my home and had the water heater repaired by 11:00 am.  A thoroughly professional and competent service person. I will definitely call him again when I have a need. Thank you!

After hour was incredibly professional and reliable. We had to replace our sewer lateral line and they gave us the best quote and were available immediately. They showed up when they said and finished when they said. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and clients.

Max Jr came out for a gas leak that the city had identified and red tagged and I needed extensive tests and repairs. He spent hours identifying & fixing the problem and when he had to wait around for the city to show up, he made himself busy doing other repairs.  What a great plumbing business.  I won't ever call anyone else.  The office staff was helpful and efficient and walked me through the red tag process, which many other companies will not even bother to address. Thank you, Palo Alto Plumbing. Young Max is wonderful. Next time I have any maintenance issues I will be calling Palo Alto PHA first.

Josh is fantastic! I've had him/his team put in plumbing for a new shower and come out to fix a leaking kitchen sink faucet (separate occasion). As others have said, the fees are quite reasonable. I also appreciate that he and Jim are both on time, and that Josh is quite communicative, whether by email or text (and probably by phone, but I didn't try that). I can't imagine looking for another plumber now that I've found these guys!

Night before last I woke up @ 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and heard water running....no faucets open and toilet was not running.  I went downstairs and the noise was louder in the closet but no water in the house that I could see at 3 a.m. Turned the water off outside at the main valve and the water running sound stopped.  When it got light I looked at the meter to see if it was spinning and it wasn't moving which means it isn't an outside pipe break in the yard....WHEW!!  I then went to the room under the house where the hot water heater is and no water puddles or water leaks anywhere under the front part of the house....WHEW! I then turned the water valve on and went back up to the meter and it was moving but slowly.  I had to shut off the water to the house which was a complete bummer because I am 3 weeks post hip replacement surgery and NEED water. Yesterday I looked again in the closet where the loud water sound was and yep...when the water was on it had been seeping in on the closet wood floor and wall was wet.  I called Henry's Plumbing today, they came out this afternoon and :
Cut open the drywall in the downstairs bedroom closet.
Exposed pipe leak.
Found old corroded galvanized water pipe leaking in inaccessible area causing water damage to walls and floors.
Cut and removed old corroded cold water line.
Cap off and removed other old water lines.
Turned water on and flushed system.

I will definitely will call them again if I need them.  They are professional, polite and got the job done. Thank you Henry's Plumbing!

They did a good job of installing our A/C but when it came to changing furnace filters they wanted to charge us $220.00 for 3 filters. I found these same filters online for 6 for $50.00. Be warned.

I highly recommend Eldridge & Sons Plumbing.  Wade Eldridge, the owner, is an excellent plumber, both in technical competence and customer service.  I've called on him twice and have been more than pleased on each occasion.  In the first, which involved a home drainage issue, Wade & his employee Alan conducted a detailed and exhaustive evaluation of the problem (which turned out to be much more complex than expected) and cleared the drain line.  In the second, he replaced my stubborn, nearly stuck shower control knob in no time flat.

As a small locally owned business, Eldridge is far more responsive than my previous plumber, which has a considerably larger customer base and can't always provide same-day service (at least that's been my experience).  Another bonus -- Eldridge's hourly rate is much more affordable than my previous plumber's.

Vince made a perfect job for replacing my old water heater, quickly and patiently. Thank you for your work!

It was time to replace an old tired toilet. So I dropped on at Guys to see what they could show me in a water saving model. They had a large number on their floor and most were in stock. So I was able to order one for installation the very next day. The plumber was a few minutes early, removed the old toilet, and installed the new one, and was gone in 50 minutes! Incredible. And very professional.

we had an emergency leak at 7pm on a friday night.  called and they were here in 20 minutes!!!!  Mike was friendly and knowledgable and luckily the hardware store was open and had the parts we needed.  He replaced and fixed the leak quickly.  In a pinch... they delivered!

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!

Benjamin Franklin plumbing sold us an on-demand water heater 7 years ago which recently started leaking.  We contacted that manufacturer of the unit who provided us with the new heat exchanger which was covered under warranty.  Unfortunately, labor was not included in the warranty coverage so we contacted BF plumbing to have a service person come to our house and replace the part.  Here is a summary of our experience:

I asked the person on the telephone if BF has experience servicing this make/model water heater and she responded, Oh yes absolutely!.  I then made an appointment to have a service person come out two working days later, between the hours of 8 AM - noon.

On the day of the appointment, having taken a day off work, nobody had arrived by noon so I called them and the person I spoke to told me that they had a scheduling error.  So much for the company that advertises itself as The Punctual Plumber.  To their credit, they apologized and told me they would have a technician out by 2:00 PM and the technician arrived shortly before 2:00.  I thought that everything would be back on track, but this was when things got ugly....

The technician told me that the unit was installed incorrectly and offered to fix everything for me.  When I told him that the unit had been installed by Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, he told me that the company was under different ownership previously and that they were not responsible for what the company had done when it was under prior ownership.  Even if that was a true statement, I would think that a company with an ounce of integrity would stand behind an installation that has their name attached to it.  When I told him that I only wanted the leaking part fixed, he hum-hawed around, telling me how difficult it would be to repair, and then stated that he thinks someone back at the shop knows something about these units but that it is too difficult to fix while is it hanging on the wall and would need to be completely disconnected and taken back to the shop (not true according to the manufacturer of the unit).

He then told me he could get me hot water the same day be installing a new unit at a discounted price of FOUR-THOUSAND-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!  We paid 3,500 for the original unit which had included all of the conversion costs to switch to a tankless water heater.

I sent him away (thankfully he did not charge for the service visit...he was clearly embarrassed) and referring to the instructions that came with the replacement heat exchanger, successfully changed out the part myself, having had no prior experience, and without removing it from the wall, in about four hours simply by carefully following the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the unit.

Pretty sad when a company misrepresents its experience, arrives late, does not stand behind its prior installation and tries to take advantage of the situation by selling us an even more expensive unit.  Also pretty sad that they are unable to service a unit that they sold us.  On the positive side though, if the dang thing ever leaks again, I will know how to fix it myself (it really wasn't that difficult).

I gave them one star only because zero stars is not an option.....
