Best Plumbing Services in San Jose, CA

My sink has been clogged for over 3 weeks, and I tried a lot of things to fix this. Draino didn't do it, called another plumber and they companies snake broke in the pipes. I was so fed up with this situation, and luckily we found them through a referral. My goodness, they are punctual, polite, bilingual, and patient with everything, took there time to explain what the issue was and how they manage to fix it. I was floored with how fast they fixed the issue. Would use again and would gladly recommend them to everyone.

This review took far too long to post and I apologize. Anyway I just wanted to give a glowing review to this most excellent handyman who went above and beyond during his visit.

Because I have bad arthritis and my wife has MS we can't really do all of the tasks around the house we used to. So every now and then we have to hire a handyman which hasn't always had the greatest result. However this time we were very pleased with the service and anticipate calling him back again soon to a couple more things.

We specifically called in order to get help in installing a wall TV mount and also mounting a wall lamp. We also needed to tall bookcases earthquake strapped 2 wall studs. The main issue with our apartment being that the studs are very strange and not always where you would expect them to be based on any reasonable kind of construction normals. He was able to find studs for our mounts and get everything installed in very short order as well as attaching the earthquake straps to our bookshelves. While he was doing this he actually went to the trouble of showing how I could figure out using a tape measure in particular measurements to find the studs in our weirdo apartment.

So we would like to give a great recommendation to this most excellent jack of all trades. His costs were also very reasonable and actually less than the last handyperson we used who was a complete disaster. They were up in Seattle though so you don't have to worry about them.

Not sure what happened in the years that have transpired, but Simply Green is now Simply Gouge. Absolutely insane pricing. Twice now we've had them out and what they've charged is well beyond highway robbery. I called two other plumbers after the fact this last time (LAST being the operative word) and asked for an estimate of the same work. Both indicated they would have charged less than half what Simply Green did.
Never calling them again.

I've had really good  experiences with KVN plumbing. They come when they say, The work is done professionally and I never have to wait around for them. The customer service is amazing and they are always friendly. I have had multiple problems in the past  year when I have requested their service and they have always done an excellent job. I would recommend them to anyone in the area!

I found City Wide Plumbing on Yelp and decided to contact them because they had good reviews.  Still, I was worried I might get coaxed into paying a large fee for a big job because they provide free estimates.
RESULTS:
1.  I easily got an appointment for the next day and Johnny came right on time. ( I was told he'd show up within a 1-hour window and he came right on time.
2. Johnny was very cordial and got right to work inspecting what might be the cause of our problem (a thumping noise whenever we put the water on).  
3. He explained everything in layman's terms and I didn't feel intimidated at all.
4. He basically said the issue had to do with the water meter and the city would be responsible for fixing it.  He volunteered to speak to the city water supplier if they had any questions.  Just as promised, he came out to do the inspection without charging any fee.  
5. Extra bonus:  I have a no-shoe policy in my home.  When I opened the door to let Johnny in, he already had booties over his shoes.

I have nothing bad to say about City Wide Plumbing.  I am definitely keeping their business card should I need a plumber in the future.

Marco and his crew came out early morning to install a new water heater. They rearranged their schedule and made us a priority which we really appreciated. Fair prices and great work. Highly recommend and a great professional job. Thanks

Contacted company through yelp to get kitchen sink fixed due to drain being clogged. Company was first to contact me me with quote and went with them. The company had great communication and did great service. Left my place cleaner than when they walked in. Repair was fast and professional. I would say they are on the higher price but needed to get this fix immediately. I would say shop for pricing if not the are a good recommendation.

Hired Tegene Handyman Services to help dismount a tv mirror cabinet and could not recommend their services higher. Very responsive, arrived on time, provided transparent pricing, and completed the project on time. Would definitely hire Tegene Handyman Services for future projects.

Art has been our plumber for many years, and he has done major and minor plumbing projects for us.  He is the BEST -- honest, skilled and dependable.  He responds quickly to phone calls and always goes the extra mile to help you, especially  when you have an emergency situation.  He also follows up after the job is complete to make sure everything is working to your satisfaction.

I recommend him highly!

Our underground drainage from downspouts was blocked and backed up in recent storms. After Hour Plumbing sent Tyler to clear it and he did a great job of  Hydro-Jetting roots that had entered from the street and cleared the problem in less than an hour. He was friendly and easy to work with. After Hours Plumbing makes smart use of customer friendly technology throughout the engagement. I found it easy to reach out and connect with them quickly, schedule service, approve work and pay our invoice. We're very satisfied and would use them again.

My hot water heater died on a Friday afternoon. I then started calling plumbers, and gathering phone numbers from plumbers who could not do the job themselves, but who could send me to another business that they recommended. Then, I found PA Plumbing on Yelp. When I called, I was told that Palo Alto Plumbing could not replace my water heater on Friday evening, but that they would give me a scheduled appointment on Saturday morning, even though weekend service visits are not usually scheduled, but reserved for emergency callers. Saturday morning, Dustin showed up, ready to rock. He had the water heater and all parts in his truck, he was polite, neat and did a very tidy installation. He was quick, but not to the point of rushing the job; there was a very tight squeeze removing my old fatboy hot water heater, he was careful and methodical removing it, and he made very sure that nothing was damaged in the removal. He left our utility closet, and our house cleaner than he found it. He also answered some questions I had about tankless  water heaters, and about my plumbing. I will use Palo Alto Plumbing again, and when I do, I will ask for Dustin. I'd also like to point out that some of the one-star reviews are complaining about being charged for a service visit. Almost every service company of this type charges for a service visit, whether the plumber was able to repair the problem or not. Someone has to pay for the time of a trained plumber to travel to the worksite. Customary charges might be one hour, which could be up to $220 (for weekend nights). I do not understand why someone would give a terrible review to a company just because it charged for a service visit. Also beware, if a company says that they do not charge for a service visit, the charge is built in to the charges elsewhere. I my view, I would rather the company just charge me honestly for the visit, rather than hide it in the form of  extra markups on material and parts. I would also point out that another reputable plumbing shop gave me a firm, fixed price estimate of $2,200 for the 50 gallon hot water heater. Palo Alto Plumbing charged me $1,570 (also fixed price) ! That was Saturday morning, (time and a half for labor)! I am very pleased with PA Plumbing! And I have absolutely no connection with the company I promise, cross my heart.

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!

The drain for our bathroom sink and tub was getting tarnished, crusty and corroded. I called Henry's Plumbing because of their great reviews. I was not disappointed! Leo and Ben showed up when they were supposed to wearing masks, gloves and booties. Already huge for me. Then they proceeded to remove the offending drains and luckily had a new sink one on hand. They didn't have one for the tub but cheerfully left to go find me the right one. They came back quickly and installed that as well. Now the bathroom looks terrific and I couldn't be more pleased with their work. They were efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable. They are also very reasonably priced which is always nice. Thanks Henry's Plumbing! You are now my go-to Plumber!

They started out good but I told them my electrical problem is serious and they started the work, I got expensive emergency service. But now they're only doing the work in 3 hour pieces and don't show up till after it's already dark out snd the whole day has gone by. They are late right now. I have no idea when they will finish this. It's already day 3. Got me through the emergency but bad follow up.

These guys are the most friendly and honest people I have ever come out to my home. I have had them pull my wife's hair out of the drain for years but when 2020 had one last thing to throw at us New Years eve, they really came through. New Years eve night my sewer line decided to have a  massive backup and they came over as soon as they could. Unfortunately this time they could not unclog my pipes without a clean out being installed. Long story short they had the clean out installed and my pipes cleared by early Saturday and their bill didn't break the bank. I highly recommend you give these guys a call.

Very good and detailed work! We had our kitchen and bathrooms faucets replaced . They have done the excellent job!  They went over the details with us and triple check if everything is good.  I highly recommend the service.

We often do our own plumbing, but this job was more technical than we were up for. We did not have a plumber, so we asked for a suggestion on Nextdoor. Everyone said we should call Guy Plumbing and Heating. We were happy with them from start to finish.

We got an appointment withing 24 hours of our call. As the window approached, we received updates. When Eddie V. arrived, he was very professional and friendly. He gave us a fair quote, then he fixed our problem. He even left our bathroom very clean. We are very pleased with the job he did.

Happy to recommend 24/7 Rooter and Plumbing. There was an emergency plumbing issue (well, aren't they all, other than a slow drain?) on a Saturday afternoon. I put out bids for the gig on Yelp to 5-6 companies, trying to cover my bases. I got maybe a 50% reply rate, counter to what the reviews of the companies had shown. In any case, 24/7 was the only company to respond, by phone and tthen commit to a time to come the next morning.

As another reviewer has reported, they don't give quotes over the phone but, should one agree to the quote presented on-site, the problem can usually be addressed during the visit. The quote I received was $75 less than the lowest quote from the sight-unseen ones online.

The plumber was more than courteous, and every bit as efficient as he was courteous. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the company. They are my new Go-to.

Fantastic same day service on a weekend! I live in Morgan Hill and I called about an issue within my toilet tank and a back up. In under two hours I had someone out to my home and the repair complete. Beyond satisfied, thank you Thomas Plumbing!

Web site shows 24 hour emergency service and even gives a 800 number to call for EMERGENCY help.  

Call the number and the woman on the end of the phone sounds like i woke her up. After 5 minutes of not being able to understand her I hang up and call back.

I get a different lady and she is very pleasant and goes over how they will be able to fix the issue, gets all of my information.  Let me restart and say I explained from the very beginning all our toilets and sinks are backed up, i need someone out ASAP.. i actually said it twice because she told me she understood how difficult it is not having a working bathroom and I responded with we have three non working bathrooms now.

So i give her all of my information, street address, etc..  it's 11pm Sunday night and she says ok, our technician will be out on Tuesday...    HUH????   24/7 emergency service as long as you need us on Tuesday i guess.

Needless to say I went with a different plumber since I have this annoying habit of needing to use the bathroom and shower more than once every 3 days.
