Best Plumbing Services in Hawaii

Anthony is excellent! Very quick response time on Yelp for estimate.  Flexible schedule.  Easy to work with.  Did an excellent job repairing corroded valves. Improved the look with chrome parts.  Great job brah

Woke up on the morning of New Year's Eve to find that we had a clogged toilet. We tried a plunger and a snake, but to no avail. Decided we had to call a plumber. I must have called at least 10 companies. One answered the phone and after I explained my situation, he said he wasn't working that day. I then spoke with a national company who said they would be happy to come out and I was given a 4 hour window. I asked if I could be provided with a range of what it would cost to unclog a toilet. I told the woman that I understood that the fees may vary depending on the extent of the job. I didn't think this was an unreasonable request, however, the woman said she could not quote any fees and that only the technician who came out could quote fees. I then asked if I could speak with a technician prior to coming out and was told, NO. I then called another company who had some great reviews and was told that if I wanted someone to come out the same day, it was considered an emergency and they needed me to understand that there was a $250 charge due upon arrival for plumbing diagnostic and water shut down. The woman I spoke with also said that they have a minimum first hour labor fee of $250. She sent me an email so I could approve the charges prior to having a technician come out. I was confused with the wording, so I emailed and also called for clarification. I asked her if, based on the email she sent me, if that meant I would have to pay $500 to simply unclog a toilet. She said it shouldn't cost that much, but couldn't give me any further explanation. As you can imagine, I was extremely frustrated at this point! The last call I made was to Brison's Plumbing. I wish it was the FIRST call I made! This is a PROFESSIONAL, NO NONSENSE, AT YOUR SERVICE kind of company. Jose was at my house within the hour and it took him maybe 5 minutes to unclog the toilet!! He was very professional and courteous and he obviously knew what he was doing! He was in and out of the house in no time! His fee was EXTREMELY reasonable and he was able to tell me EXACTLY what the cost would be prior to coming out. This is the 1st Yelp review I'm writing. I don't normally take the time to write reviews but I want all Honolulu residents to know about the exceptional experience I had with Jose at Brison's Plumbing and to call this company first if you ever have to deal with a clogged toilet! I was able to go to my New Year's Eve party in a great mood! Thanks again Jose!!

Finally, a plumber who solved my problems. Can't say how many plumbers I went through before I found Matt. He has a camera he puts down the drain to locate the problem. My plumbing now works great! Thanks Matt.

Donny is the best!  He is so smart in plumbing and so careful that I highly recommend him. Not only is he good he is so nice. I love the way he replaced all of my bathroom fixtures with a lot of thought and care.
You know he and Chad are not there just to get the job done, but to get it done right. Thank you Donnie and Chad!

Bought an over range microwave from Lowe's and Carolina Plumbers was the contractor for haul away and install. They called when they said they would, arrived in the quoted window time, and were professional and very polite. Our kitchen was a mess and the contractor worked around it. He insisted on cleaning up the wood shavings from drilling into the wall, even after we told him not to worry we would take care of it. Super nice and quick.  Thinking of hiring them privately for a few other projects.

Another smooth annual backflow testing! Cost is half of what I paid at Waialae Plumbing from previous year. Thanks again and see you next year!

Ben and Dustin came out today to remove an old cast iron tub and replace it with a new one. Ben was excellent at communicating, arrived on time, and did excellent work. He will be coming back out to finish up with the fixtures after the tiling is done and will also be installing a new toilet and sink. Ben's pricing was very reasonable and I'd highly recommend him.

We have used numerous plumbers since moving to Oahu over a decade ago. Some never showed up, and some overcharged us for issues that have returned. For someone like myself with multiple units to manage, ANDRES plumbing is BY FAR the most reliable, affordable, and professional Plumber we've ever had in Hawaii! He's friendly and fast too!!! He just came over for an urgent issue, fixed it in lightning speed, and billed a more than reasonable fee. Andres Plumbing is the best!

My tenant had a backed drain and Roscoe responded, and drain was cleared by lunch!  Job was also guaranteed for 90 days. Tenant was happy.

Colburn Plumbing was recommended through friends of ours when I asked for a consistent, reliable, and reasonable plumber who would actually work on the windward side! I know, it's crazy and ridiculous to have to preface a request with consistent and reliable, but believe it or not, Colburn Plumbing was the seventh company we called! Everyone else charged extra for working on the windward side, or came out to look at the job and never respond with an estimate, or worse yet, never even had the courtesy to respond to my request!

We had a minor communication drop for a week and a half or two where I didn't hear back from Colburn after they  confirmed they were going to start work that week. I emailed and did not hear back from them, so I reached out to a friend's father who is in plumbing just in case Colburn did not come through. Thankfully, Colburn Plumbing's scheduler, Makana, coordinated to have someone come out right after the holiday.

Dave Gauer was the plumber assigned to our plumbing project, and he was amazing! He was professional, on time, patient as he was training a helper, friendly, and knew his trade! By the way, he completed the job in two days, whereas a couple other plumbers felt it would take a week! Dave understood exactly what we wanted and needed for our project, and was able to suggest more efficient alternatives as well. After he had finished, he tested his system and fixed any small leaks that he found. That was proactive so that we did not have to have them come back out for repairs.

I cannot tell you how pleased we are with Colburn Plumbing, and especially with Dave's work! We highly recommend them, especially if you are on Windward side. They are reasonably priced, fast, professional, and most importantly, RELIABLE! We will definitely be using them, and recommending them in the future.
Mahalo Dave, Bruce, & Makana for your help & work!

First job was complete, thorough but on the way to being expensive, yet I do side with that you get what you pay for..  

Second job I thought was also expensive, and the results were not so hot.  We had three items to repair and one was initially done incorrectly and required immediate attention, and the other needs a do-over.  

One was a shower valve remove/replace, and the dispatched plumber forgot to install an O-ring so it leaked quite a bit when he had water pressure restored.  The second issue was having a leaking garbage disposal removed, and just two days later we have water leaking from the new drain piping.  Sure, it visually looked OK, but it is dripping quite a bit and now I will have to take time off from work again for a do-over.  They replaced perfectly good metal drain piping with (what to me is) cheap plastic drain piping and fittings.  

Update:  9/18/2013:  Drain piping setup was disassembled and repaired.  Hopefully this is the end of it.

Update: 10/19/2013:  I guess not.  Their repair of their poor repair job still didn't resolve the problem.  It STILL leaks!  I've had to reduce their rating down to one star.

Update: 12/1/2013:  The repair was redone a few weeks ago, and it appears to be fixed--FINALLY!.

Update 4/3/2014:  The repair still seems solid.

SUMMARY:
The first repair was a four (4) star repair.  This second was a zero (0) star repair because we still have water leaking from the piping that has now been repaired twice 6 days apart, and now it has to be repaired again.  So I've had to lower their rating to one (1) star.  This is only my opinion.  I think it really matters who you get from a larger service company.

4/3/2014:  Summary update:  revised to two (2) stars since the redo of the redo of the initial repair appears to be holding up well.

We had a leaking shower valve stopper. I got three quotes from different plumbers. The estimates were $750 and $1,600. The last estimate was from Larry's Plumbing and it was super affordable!  Kerri assisted me in booking the appointment. I explained to her what the problem was and texted her some pics. She quoted me $360 for the repair and she was able to book me an appointment the next day. Kerri was very friendly, professional and communicated with me to the day of my appointment. Larry arrived at my house as promised during the time frame of my appointment and quickly went to work to make the repairs. He completed the job in less thank a hour. He was so friendly, experienced and efficient. He explained to me what he was doing throughout the repair.  He changed out both shower stoppers even though only the left one was leaking to mitigate any future problems. He kept to the estimate that was given to me and didn't charge me for the extra work he did.  I am very satisfied and will definitely call Larry again if we are in need of plumbing services. I will gladly refer him to all my friends and family.   Don't get ripped off from high priced plumbers. Call Larry, you won't be disappointed.   Thank you Larry and Kerri!

Ronnie was great and fast. His price range was right at all the quotes so definitely fair. Highly recommend!

We reached out to J to help cap our gas line for the dryer on Monday evening and he was able to come Friday first thing in the morning. J was friendly, professional and efficient. Communication was great from start to finish. We paid $150 for the service and paid via check.
I highly recommend him if you're looking for a plumber. The address on Yelp says Mililani but he will service Ewa Beach and the surrounding areas.

Excellent communication and prompt service. The technician Jason Wong arrived at the assigned time and provided quick install of a new hot water heater. Great company model and service that more companies on the island should follow.

All I can say is they're the best..After a few minutes from posting a request for quote they messaged me right away.. It's hard for me to explain what was wrong with our toilet but they said they had a guy in our area that could check out the toilet..Within 30 minutes Matthew came over and walked us through what was going to happen.. every detail and questions were answered..He even let us know what couldn't be done that night but did whatever he could to let us be able to use our water again since we had to shut it off in order to stop our water from running all night.. He's coming back tomorrow to finish whatever he couldn't get to..Can't wait to see my new toilet and a dry floor

This company is horrible to work with.

Before I had them work on my valves to replace in my unit. I specifically requested Angled valves that were quarter turn. They supplied multiturn valves the day of install and told me if I told them to get the Quarter Turn Valves they would not cover the warranty on them. This was not told to me before hand.

Fine I don't care do the job and put in the valves I requested. This was done and the job was completed with my requested valves with no warranty.

Cut to a few months later I started having a leak from my ancient shower valve that was originally a three valve system with a divert valve in the middle.

Freaking out I called the same plumbers as before and ensured it had not leaked into my neighbors portion yet. It had not and the next day these plumbers came out and looked at it and told me the proposal would come tomorrow and they could get started in two days to fix the issue. One week went by and I had to call them....then call them...then call them again.

I gave up after a week and a half and went with Brison's Plumbing which he is great and did the proposal over the phone and got started the following Monday.

They finally sent me the proposal for their work today.....three days after it was already repaired.

Do not use these guys. The plumber who came out was a great guy but something is seriously messed up at their administration level. I will no longer have them EVER service my plumbing even though they are hired by my HOA.

I give out 1 star reviews about as often as hot chicks hand out their phone number to strangers in a nightclub. Therefore, a business has to be truly awful to elicit my wrath.

With Drain-N-Rooter, I have never encountered a more unprofessional and untrustworthy group of plumbers in my life.

Two days ago, my place had a clogged urinal which needed servicing so I called Drain-N-Rooter hoping to fix the problem quickly. After the plumber arrived, he spent almost an hour fiddling around the urinal. Afterwards he proclaimed that he was unable to unclog the pipe and the job required more drastic measures. He said he would return early in the morning with heavy duty equipment to take of the clog then he handed me an invoice for $196, even though he accomplished next to NOTHING.

The next day the plumber was a no-show. He finally answered his phone an hour later and apologized that he was unable to come due to unforseen circumstances. Instead he'd send on of his associates to take care of the urinal. Ok, fine, I rescheduled an appointment for the following day and again the plumber didn't show.

Incensed, I called them one up more time and advised them, with creative flair, what orifice they should explore with their plumbing snake.

BTW, I called Diamond Head Plumbing and they came within 1 hour and fixed the problem.
