Best Businesses in Santa Ana, CA

We were replacing our old fan light in our bedroom with a new chandelier.  We needed a new junction box to support the weight of the very heavy chandelier.  Teo's quote was fair and he was responsive, on time, honest, professional and knew his stuff.  He worked diligently, thoughtfully and didn't waste any time.  His work is impeccable and cleaned up everything as well.  Very happy with his work and with him as a person.  We will definitely be adding him to our permanent roster of home vendors and will use him again.

I will TRY and make this short - but it won't be.

We had what we THOUGHT was just a clogged kitchen line. We decided to go with B&B plumbing because of their support and contributions to our high school's football program. After calling, They sent Joe and another person out to clear our drain. After working quite a while, they were unable to clear the stoppage with their conventional methods. Joe was VERY knowledgeable, courteous and CLEANED EVERYTHING after this initial visit. After which, he explained to us our lateral line was unable to be cleared and would have to be REPLACED - which meant cutting into the concrete foundation, digging out the old cast iron pipe and replacing it. Joe said it wasn't his place to give the estimate for the job, but gave us a ball-park figure. After the initial shock of what this could cost, I asked if it would save time AND money if I were to demo the area myself. This included tearing out the cabinetry, and removing the drywall to gain access to the area they needed to work.  He said estimates were based on hourly prices for the plumbers and anything I could do to eliminate their time would help in the cost. This was on a Thursday and Joe said they were pretty much booked on Friday. If I didn't want to be charged a premium for weekend work, it would have to wait until Monday. No kitchen sink and no bathroom sink for three days. Joe called into the office and asked what we should be billed for that days work. For the amount of time they had spent there and for what they had to do, the price was extremely fair. The big cost was coming later.

When B&B showed up on Monday, I had the cabinets removed, tile was torn up in the area and the drywall was removed from the wall. I even removed the shower anticipating they would have to do it. (Mistake).  B&B came in, cut the concrete, dug up the old pipe and had re-plumbed the whole lateral line, in just about 8 hours. There work was TOP NOTCH and even if you are not a plumber, you can tell they know what they are doing. And once again, they were VERY CLEAN. Keep in mind, they had a concrete saw cutting our foundation and had to dig up the old pipe. These guys were GREAT. I had found out later Joe, our original plumber, did not work this job. He was scheduled somewhere else. This tells me B&B knows the importance of keeping jobs CLEAN!

After completing the work that day, my wife wrote the check. After going thru the invoice,  I thought they MAY have overcharged us for the work performed. I called B&B and spoke with Brian. Brian said he actually came by the job that day, saw what needed to be done. In speaking with him later, we discussed what the workers actually performed, the amount of time his workers were on the job and what I had done to get the job ready. Brian said he would re-evaluate our invoice. Brian had contacted me later and offered a partial refund for the effort performed. We had discussed the amount and both came to an agreement. It was an odd scenario since I believe I had helped out in doing part of the demo and actually how long the workers worked on our job. In the end, I was EXTREMELY happy with the work they performed, and what wound up being the final price. I received a check from B&B within the week!!!

If you're looking for a plumbing CONTRACTOR, I would highly recommend B&B. When I say CONTRACTOR, I mean just that. They MAY not be the cheapest, but they are NOT going to advertise in craigslist either. B&B is LEGIT. Don't trust your plumbing issues with someone who rents their snake or any other equipment. Plumbing issues can turn serious, and if you own your home, you want someone who is a professional and who knows how to do the work.

These guys are AMAZING!  Truly the best in the industry!!

After searching for several years for someone knowledgeable with old gravity furnaces I found Robert the owner of P.E. HVAC.  He was able to completely rebuild our old gravity furnaces and it works wonderfully.  They also work on regular HVAC systems and plumbing but are extremely knowledgeable with Gravity Heaters which is very hard to come by nowadays.   We were missing a few parts to our furnace and I've been searching for over a year for the parts but they are very hard to find.  Robert the owner at P.E. HVAC came by and within 2 days manufactured the missing parts for us and got the old sucker back up and running.  

He's very knowledgeable and capable of fixing anything and provided us with outstanding customer service.  

I am so grateful for finding them after awearching for several years.

I called cal tech plumbing & drains out to my home when my water pipe burst in front of my home.  The technician Albert came out, identified the problem and gave me a honest opinion on what he recommends and a really fair price.  He and his helper did the job right away and I couldn't be happier!
What excellent customer service! I will definitely use them for all my plumbing needs

Spoke with Jesse to try to coordinate a simple fix to secure a loose dishwasher.  He quoted $150 because they determined a condo was somehow a commercial property.  His guy shows up with no notice at the rental property with an occupying tenant.  Security of course denied access.  Horrible customer service.  No scheduling, to text, no phone call.
Gave him the benefit of the doubt to reschedule and he was short, rude, and did not apologize or own up to mistake in scheduling.  I strongly recommend to call a different vendor unless you want a horrible experience.

I had a few different tasks and was looking for a reliable handyman that could handle it all. Jeremiah fit the bill. Not only did he ensure that the work was done timely, but he followed up to make sure that I was pleased with it even a week later. He's very responsive (I had a question about the water connection for my dishwasher and he responded within minutes and offered to call me to walk me through it).

It seems like no mater the project (electrical, hanging pictures, installing A/C units, adjusting plumbing, running wire) Jeremiah can do it all and can do it *well*. So happy that I found him and I know that I'll continue to call him well into the future!

Had a leaking toilet and David was great about scheduling for a time that I could get off from work. He replaced the wax seal quick and explained everything. I would definitely call him again for any plumbing issues!

I have used other plumbers in the past, but none are as responsive, reliable, kind, and fair priced as Rudy and Ivan are. I previously had a go-to plumber, but when he was unavailable to help me out due to his schedule... I was not sure what to do. I have trust issues and am reluctant when it comes to switching my go-to plumbers, mechanics, and others who provide other high end services. My longtime friend referred me to Rudy's Plumbing Services. They were quick to respond and were available same day. They came out to fix a leaky sink in my roommate's bathroom. They were quick and efficient, so I asked them for a quote to fix the cold water issues with our other bathroom sink. I got the quote and was told that it would cost more if it was a more intense issue to where the pipes are not easily accessible from in the house, but to where they would have to go under the house and replace more pipes and connections. I text (perfect for me, an introvert) them literally two days later. They came out the next day (today) and thoroughly explained and showed me what the obvious issue was. We are going to throw out our current sink/cabinet combo and opt for a mounted sink, so we will be replacing a good portion of our wall as well. This came in handy because they would have had to go under the house if the could not reach the proper pipes in the worst case scenario. Luckily, the problem was not too far along in the pipes, but partially inaccessible. I told them they could remove as much of the wall needed for them to reach the pipes because will be replacing a good portion of the way anyways. They did not take off too much of the wall, but enough to get to the necessary pipes. My cold water flows beautifully!! I love how accurate their quotes were, how friendly they were, their fantastic work, and their ability to quickly respond. Rudy and Ivan are my new go-to plumbers!! I will be using them in the near future as we are aware of some work we want and need done. I highly recommend contacting Rudy's Plumbing Services for your plumbing needs!

Andrew came out to replace the garbage disposal.  Showed up on time and finished the job within half an hour.  Very knowledgeable, honest and no hesitation in going the extra mile.  When we encountered a small issue that night, the company answered the phone and Andrew came out first thing next morning and fixed the issue.   Midnight Plumbing will be our first stop with any plumbing issues.  HIghly recommended.

Mark came out in the pouring rain and hydro jetted my rain drains. It turned into being a bigger problem, but I appreciate how prompt he was and coming out to discover the problem... now we just need to resolve it. I recommend his work.

Hanson Plumbing saved the day, and my sanity, by responding to our emergency plumbing issue within a couple of hours, late on a Friday afternoon. Andrew was able to fix the issue within a couple of hours, with clean and professional service, and was less than half the price of our other quote. I strongly recommend Hanson Plumbing & Repipe.

We were looking for someone to run gas piping for our new water/fire feature, new fire pit and new BBQ.  Shorty's Plumbing took on the project to which we added some water piping and electrical work.  The electrical work was further complicated by problems with some of the components. Shorty's Plumbing went out of his way which required many trips to the equipment supplier and to our location until the problem was solved. He stuck with it until we were happy. Not everyone cares about customer satisfaction as does Shorty's Plumbing. We would definitely recommend him to everyone!

This review is long overdue.

Last year, I had a clogged kitchen drain.  I used Yelp to try to find a good company.  I spoke with 3 companies, all stating that they specialized in drains, and all with very strong reviews.  One company that had many 5-star ratings came to my house with 2 people (which was puzzling to me), looked at the drain, spent 2 minutes trying to snake it, and concluded I needed to replace a section of pipe.  It would cost about $2,000.  When I asked if hyrdrojetting would work, they said they doubted it, and could guarantee anything.  Wow, I thought to myself, I know my house is older, but that seems strange.  The second company that came suggested hyrdojetting at a cost of about $800.  They were willing to guarantee the drain would stay clear for 1 year, but I felt like the price was a bit high, and I had a funny feeling the person was lying to me.  

Thankfully, Andrews Drain came out, looked at the drain and said he'd try to snake it.  He said he could probably clear the drain, but would let me know.  When I mentioned hydrojetting or changing out the pipe, he said he would see, but even if he had to replace the pipe, it would cost about $800-$900.  

As luck would have it, Andrew was able to clear the blockage that day, and gave me a 30-day warranty.  Unfortunately, 3 weeks later, the drain clogged, I called Andrew, and he came over that day to re-snake the drain.  Drain has been clear ever since.

Recently, I had him fix a broken pipe in my yard.  It was feeding my irrigation system, so it was pretty important, and Andrew came the next day, looked at it, gave me a quote and did the repair.  I didn't ask him to, but he installed a new faucet.  

Andrew is a young and honest plumber trying to build up his business, and I highly recommend him.

Sandra and all the staff are great here. Had a few emergencies and they came right out and took care of my issues. Highly recommend this business.

Hot day and of course AC stopped working! Between my wife and kids complaining,  I had to do something.  I call 4 different places and no luck. I called Complete plumbing and heating  and they saved me! Mike J ( owner) was out in 45 min, checked the AC unit and right away knew the problem.  In less than an hour my AC was working again and for a good price.  Thank you again Mike! I will keep your card handy and recommend you to anyone I know who needs your service.

My kitchen sink was leaking and the water was warping the wood. I had North Highland install a new sink and am very happy with their service. I got a number of estimates including some from other 5 star businesses. North Highland was clearly the most reasonable estimate. They were responsive on Yelp messenger, they had many time slots available and he came when he said he would. The dependability was a huge plus because I had to make time from work to get this done. He was quick and polite. Highly recommend!

I have used Jacot Plumbing  twice now and will be a customer for life.  The plumber's name was Art and he was so thorough, knowledgeable and friendly and never once made me feel like I was being taken advantage of when he explained the repairs.  He was there to unclog the drain but I also explained that the sink faucet was leaking and he was able to find exactly where the slow drip was coming from.  Ideally it needed to be replaced but when I wasn't ready to do that, he was able to fix it to stop the leaking.  They always clean up after their visit and they wear shoe booties when walking inside.  Even better is the pricing.  Each time I was expecting a big bill and the price was way less than expected and quoted by others.  Tina in the office is super nice and accommodating too.  They are used by Triple AAA so that alone should tell you they are a very reputable company.

My pool heater was having issues so I contacted Lorenzo.  He was able to come out and quickly identify the issue, found the replacement part and have it installed within a couple of days.  The heater has worked flawlessly since then and everything was done for a very reasonable price.

Its fair to say I was nervous about using a company with no reviews but after working with Lorenzo, I can highly recommend his service.   It was a great customer experience from start to finish.

Dial One Sunshine has been my service provider on my house for 15+ years. Are they expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Beyond worth it!!! They come out 2x a year to service my system and provide recommendations to keep my system and plumbing running. I use them because I know they will do the job right, are reliable and know what they are doing. Yes I might pay more, but having gauranteed work and reliable service is worth it. The service men, Shawn, Nick, etc., have been nothing but great and knowledgeable about what they are doing. Again, not the cheapest, but always worth it.

We called County Wide on Wednesday and had our new furnace  by lunchtime on Friday. Their expert/installer, Brandon, was personable and very knowledgeable about the heater and the installation. Best for us, he also knows about performance and made some critical improvements to the ducts and vents to balance airflow and ensure our whole house is warm. He even moved the thermostat closer to the return for a more accurate temperature reading.

Our house has never been this comfortable! We are very pleased and highly recommend County Wide for their responsiveness, friendliness, expertise and value pricing. Thank you, Brandon and the rest of the County Wide team.
