Best in Oakland CA

Cesar contacted me very quickly after I submitted requests for quotes on Yelp. I told him I needed an ice-maker installed in my refrigerator. He said running the line to the back of the refrigerator was pretty easy but that he could come do it. He came the next day, tried to run the line to the refrigerator but wasn't able to do it. In hindsight, installing the ice-maker was a far more complicated job than he led me to believe. He convinced me that all that needed to be done was having the line run to the refrigerator. I did not even have the right parts to make the ice in the freezer, or connect the line to. He never asked what parts I had and confirmed he would be able to do the job. He stayed for about 50 minutes trying to connect the line, then left when it was clear it would not be able to be done. He asked for payment. I felt uncomfortable paying him when nothing had been completed. Later, when I realized the ice maker needed a special installation and that I would have to hire someone else, I asked him for a refund, to which he refused. My issue with Cesar is 1. He did not complete the job
2. He accepted a job without gathering details about what was needed to actually do the job
3. He still asked for payment despite not completing the job.

I had a clogged kitchen sink and these guys were able to schedule me in on a Monday morning. They were in and out in less than an hour and had decent prices. I will contact them for sure if I have any other plumbing issues.

(Edit: 2/22: To be fair, RH did provide refund on the job so extra star for that. And yes, pipe was old but as mentioned, it was not in terrible shape according to the other plumbing companies that came in to fix later. Primary point here is that if you have something like this where things can go wrong, take the time and if necessary pay the little bit extra to have the peace of mind that it will be covered.)

Use at your own risk. For me, RH took a simple drain snaking job that should have been about $200 and turned it into a mess that ultimately cost us about $3000 and a couple of weeks to repair and clean up. I'm debating whether it's worth wasting anymore time taking them to small claims court for what happened.

I've snaked the drain in question multiple times before by myself and by hiring reputable licensed plumbers. This time around, I put in a bid request on Yelp. RH was first to respond and came back with a price that was comparable to other quotes I received. The key difference was they had immediate availability so I chose them. The other key difference I should have caught was they didn't have a badge noting they are licensed.

Long story short, the guy they sent struggled with the drain at first and got frustrated because of the time it was taking. This definitely got my spidey sense tingling. I had some work to do so stepped away but recall seeing the guy put some funky head on the snake as I passed by. A short while later, he tells me he's done and shows me by running the sink which now drains properly. I notice an odd sewage smell but figure it must just be leftover from the snake work. I pay the guy who quickly leaves and that's when I notice that the drain is emptying alright, but water is now bubbling up from the where the concrete slab of the garage and the foundation meet.

I call RH to have the guy come back. He does, acts surprised and then tells me that the drain pipe beneath the slab is broken but it's not his fault because it was old. This is where I discover they aren't licensed and they refuse to take responsibility for damage done, in contrast to any reputable plumber. The irony is that the price they charged was exactly the same as what I was quoted by the other LICENSED plumbers. Big miss on my part. Anyway, argued in vain with the guy and his partner on the phone who tried to make the bogus argument that it was like doing heart surgery on someone elderly so they couldn't be blamed if the patient didn't make it. For poops and giggles, I asked how much they would charge to repair and they quoted me $2500 to repair just the part immediately below the concrete slab. Hell no.

At this point, I'd learned my lesson and was careful to get bids from several LICENSED plumbing operations. Three of them actually came back with quotes LESS than what RH wanted to charge me to fix the mess they made, plus they provided multi-year warranties on their work. These real plumbers also noted that the pipe would have been fine if more care and proper equipment had been used in snaking it. Those repairs are done and now have to pay even more to replace the carpeting that had to be ripped up to complete the repairs.

Anyway, very expensive and stressful lesson learned. For simple jobs that you don't really care about the quality of the work, it sometimes makes sense to hire a handyman. However, when you're hiring someone for a plumbing job that has potential to go wrong, make sure to go with a licensed and bonded operation that will stand by their work. That is not what you will get if you hire RH.

Wonderful service!  I get a text message just prior to arrival.  I know when they are coming.  Sanny explained everything and was very transparent about what costs would be incurred.  I appreciate that.  He took time to check that I understood the process and asked me if I had any questions.

Great they have free home visit to give estimates. Tech arrived on time, was called in for RO system installation. Installation quote was on a higher side.

He tried to push me to purchase a RO system of his choice and provided incorrect information about the system. No thanks for the incorrect information.

Jason from  Pipeline plumbing was fantastic! He came to my house fast, fixed my sink perfectly! He was honest in his pricing and is someone I highly recommend.

This is the best plumbing company we've ever experienced. The technician Waylen Yuhas was really nice and experienced.  He quickly resolved the issue and even provided us a handy wrench for turning on/off the city water supply valve to stop leak before the house main shutoff valve.

I recently called Bay Plumbing to get a second quote on a gas pipe repair when another company's estimate seemed very high.  The quote was much more in line with my budget so I had Tony do the work.  The team was on-time, completed the work as promised and cleaned up after (always appreciated).  I subsequently hired Tony to do some work in the kitchen and laundry room to move appliance hook-ups and install a new disposal.  Throughout the projects, the team has been great.  Tony explains the work in detail before beginning to set a proper expectation for timing and the final outcome. There have been no hidden fees and we even worked to adjust a portion of the project at no extra cost. I highly recommend Bay Plumbing in Berkeley and plan to work with Tony on future remodeling projects.

Overall, they are very professional and good regarding price, responses, scheduling and a good job.

Jeff was easy to communicate with to set up a diagnostic and Chris was awesome when he arrived to perform it. He knew exactly what was going on the moment he walked in. He was cheerful, easy to work with and an all around gem. I am glad to have a relationship with Everest and will absolutely use them again in the future. Highly recommend.

These guys are nice professional and keep their word which very nice. I highly recommend you giving them a call if need a plumber.

Moran Supply is overpriced.  And the service sucks if all you want is a repair part.  As they are Kohler distributor, I expected they'd have stems in stock for a Kohler faucet.  I showed the counter man the model number, but without even bothering to look it up he told me that they couldn't possibly stock parts for everything Kohler ever made, and that he couldn't help me.  The faucet is just 15 years old.  This is the last time, l will never go there again.

Excellent service. I asked for leak detection they provided an expert that detects my leak. I thought the leak is from the city side , the city could not find the leak and Hashim was able to find it right away. Highly recommend.

Couldn't have been a better experience.  He started by trying to help us fixed the problem over the phone.  When I was unable to fix the issue, he came quickly, fixed the problem and even gave us tips on future prevention.  We will definitely call him again for our plumbing needs.  Two thumbs up!!

Called two days ago to set up an appointment for an estimate to get washer/dryer hookup. Was set up for 10am-noon time window for someone to arrive. No show. Still at 3PM, no show. Contacted them through Yelp and they say they have no record that I made an appointment, even though my phone clearly shows their phone number calling me last week, and I called them back Tuesday. You might want to call them the day before your appointment to make sure there isn't a good up.

Shower handle was broken and leaking. I needed someone to come immediately to stop the flow of water. Gladiator agreed to send someone right away. They were professional. Gave me an upfront reasonable quote. Got the work done and had my shower up and running properly in no time. Would highly recommend.

Knowledgeable, prompt, & friendly service:

My husband & I recently purchased a home and were asked by PG&E to fix the earthquake gas shut off valve to the home's gas line.  Todd came out the day that I called him and assessed the situation.  I was very impressed by how knowledgeable he was about the issue, including the permitting requirements (the past home owners set it up completely wrong and did not get it permitted).  He also took a look at our hot water heater which was having trouble keeping a constant temperature.  

In the end he fixed the gas shut off valve the next day and went to the city to get the permit a couple days later. He even cleaned out the filter on the water heater (for free) and provided very detailed next steps for minor and major fixes to the problem.  He was very friendly and very helpful.  I would definitely call him again when we have a plumbing need (hopefully not too soon...).

Best plumber i have seen ever in our location ,good quotation ,24/7 response from the guys , did perfect job at my home,very responsible in work all over bayarea ,  finally love the work did at my home

I have used Greer Plumbing several times over the past 10 yrs, and once again they have provided me wonderful service, at a very fair price.  Jeff and his assistant came to my house in Castro Valley and moved a gas line for me, capping another outlet, running a new line to a kitchen stove and a line to the garage in case we ever want a gas dryer.  Figured while pipes are being rerouted, might as well.  The work was clean, quick, they were prompt as scheduled.  Can't complement them enough!
