Best Plumbing Services in San Jose, CA

Juan was so helpful and talked about everything that was needed, made sure to explain possible different ways in which to fix my problem.
His work was exceptional, making sure to have him back when I do the install for my vanity sink and tub hardware

Nick is not just a handyman, he is a licensed electrician and plumber. Having all this knowledge and years of experience in a single contractor makes him a time saver and unique professional in this business. Everything that's sometimes wrong with contractors he got it right: 1) He communicates by txt and is very responsive. 2) Once you're on his schedule you can count that he will be at your home by the time he promised or you will get a txt in advance if his prior job is taking a bit longer. 3) Although he charges by the hour he is super good at estimating how long it would take and therefore you won't run into surprises at the time of paying him. 4) He drives a big van full of supplies, so he is not one of those that either use time during the job to buy what he needs or requires you to provide it unless you want to. 5) He is very thorough and pays a lot of attention to details. He will clean everything after he finishes and he will ensure you're happy with the job before he leaves. If not, he will rework it until you're happy.

At my house he fixed leaking toilets, fixed patio doors that were misaligned and stuck, patched and re-attached a towel rack, fixed a back yard gate, sealed a bath tub and a shower and finally re-grouted a bathroom floor.

You cannot go wrong by contacting Nick, I was very lucky in finding him at Yelp.

I didn't use their service but based on their reviews I called them to give me a possible solution and estimate for an urgent plumbing need. Basically, the main sewage line was clogged and the water was backing up at the lowest point in the house which was the bathtub. So called simple green for this purpose so that they could unclog the drain.
Contractor who came home did not even hear us and when he looked at the bathtub he immediately started off saying that we need to change our old galvanized pipes. His next statement was that they are available this afternoon or the following day to start the job.
We recently had an inspection and the report came clean as most of the pipes were new and the ones that were old were in a good condition.
When I asked him for an immediate solution, he went to look at the cleanout. Even though every detail in the house said the clog was between the bathroom and the cleanout, he argued saying the clog was from the cleanout to the city's sewage line. This was because he saw a tree right underneath the main sewage line connecting to the city's line. But when toilet was flushed there was no water seen in the cleanout nor the cleanout was overflowing as it lies lower than the bathtub. But you could immediately see water gushing into the bathtub when the toilet was flushed.
Even after questioning him he was gonna put the rooter in the cleanout leading to the city's sewage line versus trying to clear the clog in the house which was even before it reached the cleanout.
Mainly he wanted to sell the video camera rooter option or otherwise changing the pipes. His estimate for putting the rooter was $325 (remember this was in the total opposite direction of the clog) + $200 for video camera option.
We gave up on him and called another plumber after several experiments with flushing and seeing the way how the water was getting backed up in the bathtub. This other company put the rooter from the roof vent as ours was one way cleanout. Guess what!! This did remove the clog..
So stop selling wrong things to customer instead hear what the customer needs to say and understand the problem.  If somebody had just blindly agreed to change the pipes it would have easily costed $6K-$8k versus removing the clog costed us $225.
I would give them 0 stars if yelp allowed me to. It was such a waste of time!

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!

Johnny's service is the best. I had kitchen sink clogged up and learned about that when I got home around 6pm. Started making calls to plumbing companies. Most of them responded that their technicians had already gone. Johnny was the only one who just asked if 8 pm would be too late for me! Before entering the house he put on shoe covers. Using power snake he fixed the problem quickly. Cleaned after himself. Very friendly and professional service! Affordable price. Would recommend to anybody without hesitating.

Thanks Johnny.

We sold our house and on moving out day our fridge line would not stop leaking after the movers disconnected it. Because we needed to hand over the keys on the following day, I reached out to my realtor in a panic. We've never needed a plumber before and didn't know a reliable person/company to get help from.

Marco was able to squeeze us in at 8:30 the next morning, after I'd contacted him the night before around 10:30 PM. In the morning rush, we'd forgotten our keys to the home and couldn't actually get into our place to have Marco fix the issue. He had to leave to get to other appointments, but we were really lucky to have Raul come to our rescue a few hours later.

What was really awesome is that Raul explained the options for fixing the issue (from temporary fix to the right way to fix it) and provided his recommendation. Raul went to the store to purchase the necessary parts and fixed the issue within an hour of his original inspection. After he left, I put paper towel under the valve just to make sure there were no more leaks -- and it stayed completely dry for the next 5 hours until we moved out.

Marco and Raul did an awesome job and totally saved the day. I'm already planning to ask them to connect the water lines for the fridge and laundry machine when we move to our new house. I'd definitely recommend them!

Andres came on short notice and replaced my old water heater. He was very communicative and friendly. Thank you for taking care of my property!

Another great job by Tegene Handyman. I had about 35' of fence come down in the last storm. Asked for quotes from fencing places and they were all a lot and not able to do the job for weeks. He gave us a reasonable price and came out in a few days to complete the project. Highly recommend this business and will use again

Great!

So pleased with the service.  Commonsense help. Analyzes and solved problems.

Drain problems can be a pain in the *:s but don't let that ruin your day..Call Cedrick and he will be there when he says he will and take care of the problem..He found the problem,fixed it in less then an hour..He also put a camera down my main sewer line and found a slight blockage and at no additional cost..After Hour Plumbing will do the work and all my future plumbing from now on..Thank You Cedrick and YOU ROCK..

Our garbage disposal was leaking. Mo was easily available by phone, great customer service, even arrived a bit early for the time window. Polite, clean, cheerful, and highly competent. The disposal was corroded and had died. He had the exact right kind of new disposal in his truck and it was a quick fix, good price.  He stayed to make sure it was working well. He also noted that a couple of the pipes would need replacing soon, and he knew exactly what was required and said he would order it. A+++! I love supporting a local family business.

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!

I have found my plumber and I will never go back! I have tried many plumbers in Santa Cruz and never have I experienced such professional, kind, hard working, honest and skilled plumbers before. Their quote was plenty fair and the price even dropped as they did the work and discovered ways to make the job cheaper. They installed a new line from the meter to the first shut off, a big job, and they did it seamlessly. When they called me out to take a look the job was super clean, as if there had never been a leak. They even patched the concrete and raked the landscape so that it looked nice and tidy when they left. Our last plumbers left a mess in our kitchen that we had to clean up so this was a pleasant surprise. I give Garcia Plumbing my highest recommendation.

I called 2/7/19 in desperate need as I have been trying to get an electrician to my home for a small job, new outlet and bath-fan.
After trying different people over a 12 week time frame.  I called these folks and am I glad
I did so.  I called got a very polite professional and scheduled appointment  with in 4 days of my call.  
I was prepared for it to be to small a job for them to bother with or some insane price or a long weeks waiting to have the work done.
Not what happened..... 2/12/19 appointment day day AJ  was who they sent, and he was timely professional. I already had the new bath fan and needed a outlet put in for a new plasma tv wall mount on an old path and plaster walls.
I got a reasonable quote and to make me more
Happy they where able to do the work that day!
As you can see photos show very clean job minimal damage on plaster wall.
Can't recommend AJ and pacific coast electricians enough.  Will be using them again.

I'd definitely use them again if I had a plumbing problem.  Had Nick give me an estimate which was fine with me and then I scheduled a time for the work to be done and no problems.  Personable, knowledgeable and did what he said he'd do.

Garbage disposal in my San Ramon house stopped working. I found Vince via Yelp and gave him a call. He came in 2 days later to install a brand new one, with a good reasonable price. Everything works perfect. Vince is very professional and easy to work with. High recommended!

Jake Guy came to our home to install 3 new toilets that my husband had picked out in their showroom.  On time, professional and just plain nice.  Jake told us he is fourth generation.  Would highly recommend.

I had a flood in the appartment and needed urgnet help.
Found the company online and they came on time and were very professional and fixed the issue quickly.

I was so desperate for a water heater after ours started leaking all over our garage floor. They installed a new water heater the next day-wow. So thankful that I found such a nice family owned company.

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.....
