Best Heater Installation in Oakland CA

Kenneth did a great job for us a couple years ago and we will be contacting him again soon for our next plumbing project.

Our tub started leaking through the ceiling below so we needed someone to come out quickly. I called around 8am, he was here by 9:30/10:00ish and finished by 11/11:30. Very reasonably priced and friendly. He tried to fix the issue instead of automatically going to part replacement to try and help keep the costs down.

While he was here, we also had him solder the overflow pipe for the water heater. It was originally not installed per code so he fixed that and completed the work very well and quickly.

One thing to note (so that you can be prepared) is that he only accepts cash or check.

We will definitely use him again!

Thank you Deejay and Ray for coming out to fix the back up issue at my clinic.  They were very friendly and efficient.

Ben installed my hot water heater last summer.  He was very friendly and professional.  He responded right away, on a SUNDAY, and stayed with it until we had a new hot water heater installed and working that afternoon.  He did great work for a very reasonable price.

Yesterday, the hot water heater's t/p valve released for some reason and water flooded into the pan, etc.  I contacted Ben, nearly a year later, and he responded right away.  He came over first thing this morning, checked it all out and installed a new valve, just to be safe.  We have hot water again and my family can rest easy.  

With all of the shady characters out there in the contracting/construction world, I just wanted to share that I think I've found a real, professional tradesman who stands by his work and cares about his clients.

If you need plumbing help, I HIGHLY recommend Ben and Service Star Plumbing.

I called Albert Nahman Plumbing to fix a problem at the base of my toilet that allowed water to leak in the wall in the floor below. They sent a plumber and a plumber's apprentice to do the work (the later was a female, the first female plumber I'd met). They did an excellent job. They clearly explained what was happening, what my options were, and worked efficiently when we agreed upon a course of action. They were communicative, hard working, didn't leave a mess at all, and solved the problem. There was a little confusion with the dispatchers in the main office: one guy scheduled me for service between 10:00 and 12:00, whereas the person working the day of my service saw that it was scheduled to occur between 11:00 and 1:00. That was mildly annoying but, having said that, the dispatch people were courteous, responsive, called me fifteen minutes before the team's arrival (to let me know that they'd be there soon), and called again right after they left (to make sure everything went OK).

So, other than the very minor glitch with the dispatchers, I had an excellent experience with Albert Nahman plumbing and will definitely use them again in the future. I wish more contractors worked like they do!

Still in the middle of getting estimates to repair plumbing for an upstairs tub that is leaking through our downstairs ceiling.  But... just wanted to say how impressed we were with Mark, who stopped by within an hour.  He was professional and friendly and explained exactly what he thought needed to be done.  While he was here, we asked him to take a look at 2 running toilets, and instead of charging us or telling us a part needed to replaced, he took the time to tell us what we could do ourselves to save some money.  Great guy.  For the tub, Mark's quote was a bit higher than some other places we have contacted, but he was very upfront in saying that we would probably find another place to do it for cheaper, but that the work may not be as good.  Like I said, we're still in the middle of getting estimates, but there's a good chance we'll use Atlas.  If not for this repair, definitely for something in the future.

Last Friday, we noticed our house getting cold and by the evening, it was really cold. We have radiant heat and I went out and felt the boiler and it was stone cold. Early the next morning (Saturday), I called a few boiler specialists including Innovative Radiant Heating. The owner, Ramnar Montoya, called me back quickly and scheduled time to look at our problem the same day. He confirmed what I suspected, our almost 40 year old boiler was dead (bad heat exchanger). I received a few bids that day but the bid from Ramnar was the only one that included all the details of the job (flushing the system, installing pumps and pressure regulater, etc). I liked that detail because I didn't have to wonder whether all the work we discussed was going to be included. Ramnar answered my many questions throughly and the more time I spent talking to him, the better feeling I got. His bid was very competitive and he didn't try to sell me things I didn't need; actually quite the opposite. At one point, I was interested in a more expensive boiler and he gently suggested it would be a waste of money. I ended up taking his advice. After reviewing a couple of more bids and many more questions to Ramnar, I hired his firm to install the new boiler. I asked him if he could stop in during the installation. He responded saying he would be doing the installation. I liked that. He was able to schedule the work quickly and arrived at our house exactly when he said he would. Ramnar did thorough, excellent, work and did everything he said he would. He was absolutely great to work with and very pleasant to have at our house. My utility closet and new boiler look great and our house is now warm and comfortable again. I am very happy to write this review.  With our next plumbing catastrophe, I will not hesitate to call Ramnar and Innovative Radiant Heating again. Thank you Ramnar!

Gil was reliable and helper fixed the leak at home. He was cost effective and highly reliable.

This company is great! They are responsive, honest and have excellent staff. We had a complete rehab of a large apartment done by them at a very reasonable price. The work was excellent. So when we needed a small job at our new home, we called on them again. Especial kudos to Sergio, one of their staff. He is smart, knowledgeable, skilled and believes that job sites should be cleaned up at the end of each work day. If we have further work to do on our home, we will definitely call on this company again.

Not recommended. If you are vulnerable, needing assistance with a plumbing emergency, they will rip you off, as they did us.

I've only used them once for a standard job so far, so I will update if I ever need them again. Kyle was great - really down to earth and up front about the cost of creating a gas hookup. I had a little snafu on the day of my dryer delivery from Home Depot, and Kyle did everything he did to make things better, even though the snafu had absolutely nothing to do with him or Plumbing Care. Would call them again should an issue come up in the future.

Excellent Job, Reasonable Price

My toilet shutoff valve leaked and found my toilet floor flooded. Searched Yelp for plumbers who could do the repair soonest at a reasonable price.
I received 4 estimates online and the best was from Awais D. of Elite Plumbing. I called him to make sure he understood what needed to be done and to confirm the price he would charge me.
He said he was currently on a job, but would be available in 2 hours. We agreed on the time, but after 2 hrs he said he would be delayed by half an hour. Thanked him for informing me. He came delayed by 45 minutes and apologized when he arrived.
He worked quickly and efficiently, completing the job in less than 30 minutes.
I would say his work exceeded my expectations and I would hire him again if I need a plumber in the future.

Fantastic quality of service! Friendly, reliable, professional, trustworthy!

I randomly called Savior Plumbing because I needed to redo the kitchen plumbing, install a new garbage disposal and replace a rusty faucet that was stuck in place. David came out and sawed off the old faucet and replaced the old rusty drain with high quality PVC plumbing that looks amazing and I know will last. Everything is running perfectly. Truly a professional.

A week later, my HOA notified me of water leaking into the unit below. I called Savior Plumbing with no hesitation. Was hoping David would come out but this time it was Adam. He was just as friendly and professional. He identified the problem and replaced a gasket that another plumbing company had replaced several months earlier. It was the wrong part! Adam identified it. Replaced it with the correct part and tested to make sure that we weren't leaking. Having a peace of mind that Adam did the right thing and fixed my issue the right way is invaluable!

Everyone here knows how valuable it is to find a reliable company with reliable people to help you in a time of need. I've found it in Savior Plumbing. Thank you David and Adam!

After lots of texting back and forth, Rey decided that he couldn't be bothered to come to San Francisco to do a heating repair because he might not be able to park. Despite us being in their indicated service area. Very disappointing.
Do not rely on this company. Flaky and amateurish.

I am very happy with Jazz and their plumber Robert!  He arrives on time, is super polite and gets the job done!

I hired Ted to assemble a large and complicated office desk. Ted was wonderful to work with!  He patiently worked through assembly instructions that were unclear and unhelpful, but Ted managed to assemble the desk beautifully in spite of the poor instructions.  His rates were incredibly reasonable and he was efficient, responsive, and professional. I would hire him again in the future for home or office needs.  Thank you, Ted!

This company is unreliable.  Initially, they responded right away but it was left up to me to obtain the parts to repair the hot water heater.  They promised to return when the parts were delivered but there wasn't any response after several phone calls.  Hiring this company is a very bad idea.

Our hot water heater died and CR&P was able to get a new one installed the same day.  Our technician, Ron, arrived early, was wonderful and got the new one sourced, picked up and installed in less than two hours.  I would definitely recommend them!

I have used Jorge's plumbing several times, from installing sewage sump pumps, rain water sump pumps, installing backstops and correcting past plumbers' shoddy workmanship in general. He's friendly, reliable and always gets the job done right. I highly recommend his services.
