Best Residential Services in Oakland CA

The service and interaction with all Atlas employees was pleasant and efficient I didn't even need to be present. I stated the main lateral sewer needed to be replaced and I preferred trenchless. Joel showed up and performed camera viewing from roof clean out-within 48 hours he determined trenchless work was possible and I was produced a quote and I accepted (I received 6)As the project day approached, Santos the lead showed up a day prior to start to set up no parking signs- note it was a holiday and he was working! Permits in hand the job with City inspections was completed under 2 weeks, Daily cleanup by the crew was impeccable. Thanks Atlas team for making this a pleasant experience!

It's about time we post a review about this company. Ramnar, the owner, installed our radiant heat almost 20 years ago before he even started his company. This is a wonderful cost efficient way to heat our large property (tile, wood and carpet floors) and it never failed us. We never have to think about it, the thermostats are set, there is no dust, no noise, it's just the best! We are thrilled that he now has his own company, he is the best we know, trustworthy and extremely skilled. We just make sure to service the system and water heater once a year this way we also get to see him and his crew and make sure everything keeps working properly. Absolute top notch, efficient, very nice and fair priced, wouldn't think of hiring anyone else!

Working with Handyman Heroes was a breeze, from top to bottom. Communicating with Megan was as pleasant and straightforward as I would hope. We were quickly able to schedule a site survey. My work schedule can be quite busy, so Larry made sure the survey was fast, but thorough. All the necessary details were sorted upfront, which made things much easier for both parties on day of the project. As for the work, Guillermo did an excellent job. He made sure to keep me posted as he day went on, I felt very safe in his hands. He actually finished sooner than I expected. All said and done, my neighbors were grateful that the noise was kept to a minimum and were all eager to compliment the final result. Oh, and it was priced exactly within the range I had hoped. I highly recommend them!

We had tankless water heater installed by Plumbing care professionals.  They are very efficient and get things done in a correct way.   The quote is very reasonable too.  Besides installing the water heater,  they happened to fix the water filter problem for us for free.  They are awesome.

Rey and his family-owned business are stellar. We had multiple bids to replace our old, broken furnace and thermostat with a new one, and Rey provided the most cost-effective option. He and his daughter worked with the city (during COVID, when the city is extremely backed up) to secure the needed permit to do the work. He came promptly on time with an apprentice and was able to very-efficiently replace our furnace in around 1/2 a day, including running a new electrical connection for our new Nest thermostat from our crawlspace (which meant he didn't have to cut into our walls, which was a huge win).

I will be going with Rey and LCP&H for my future needs, including an AC, attic insulation, attic fan, and additional homes we will be buying. Rey and LCP&H deliver the best quality, with the best prices. Highly recommended!

Zach was great! He was thorough, friendly and knowledgeable. Scheduling was super easy and I got my heater fixed the same day it malfunctioned! Thanks for the awesome experience!

We had a great experience with Ted last week when he fixed a bathroom door that kept coming off of its track. He was responsive, deliberate and thorough, finishing the job the same day after making sure he had the right materials and we were aligned on his approach. Thanks so much, Ted!

tl;dr: don't trust them when they tell you it's fixed.

I had a small amount of flooding in my basement the day before the New Year's Eve storm, and after rescuing furniture and frantically bailing out the basement, I guessed that probably our sump pump was the problem. We called Plumbing Guys. Their tech came out, looked at the sump, and said that the pump wasn't actually connected to anything (yikes!). He connected it, I asked if it was working now, he said yes, he told me the pump was good, and rushed off. I understood his desire to get to his next job ASAP, since it was without a doubt the busiest night for plumbers in a long time.

The next morning we woke up to find about 3 inches of water covering our basement, high enough to destroy the brand new hot water heater we had installed back in September. So we had to get someone in to replace that / dispose of the broken one, and we had to rip out all of the flooring that we had just installed, and then hire some very expensive water damage remediation folks to help us strip the drywall, set up blowers, test for mold, and so forth.  

While we were bailing out the basement and ripping out the floor,  I called a bunch of other plumbers. Two ended up coming by that day, and both of them  (plus the hot water heater guy, who also took a look) said that the sump pump was very old, filled with dirt, and obviously not able to pump anything like the amount of water required to keep the flood at bay.  If we had known this beforehand -- if Plumbing Guys hadn't assured us that the pump was good -- we could have lowered a utility pump down the sump and drained the house manually every hour or so until the storm passed.

But we trusted Plumbing Guys.

While I was calling around to get plumbers in to fix the pump, I also called Plumbing Guys to ask why their tech hadn't found the problem. They didn't get back to me for over a day, but when they did they sent out a guy (I think the same guy?) who went down, actually pulled up the sump pump, and (just like the other plumbers)  said that the pump was very old, in bad condition, and needed to be replaced immediately.

When I called Plumbing Guys (I think I was speaking with the owner?) about what his guy had said, he said that the pump wasn't old the first day we called, but had aged dramatically over the course of the intervening 36 hours.  He had no coherent explanation for how this might have happened, but was very insistent that anyone who had told me we needed to replace the pump was a liar trying to scam me and that he was the only honest plumber left in the industry.  

He spent a long while sending me paragraphs-long texts on this theme.  I thought this was a very odd use of his time on such a busy night, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I asked him what he was going to do to fix the situation, and he said that he'd give us a 20% discount on installing a new pump. I told him that this was absolutely unacceptable, and said that he should be covering at the very least a large portion of the cost of the damage his company's slapdash work had caused.

He didn't offer anything else until after we posted a yelp review. A couple of minutes after it went up, he texted something about how your wife wrote a novel on yelp but that's okay and texted me a picture of ripped-up scraps of the 250 dollar check I had written him for the initial visit -- i.e. the one where, as far as I can tell, they never looked closely at the pump.

I told him that the cost of the initial visit wasn't the problem, and said again that making this right would require at least in part compensating us for the damage caused by his slapdash work. He said that if he had a pump available, he'd install it for us at a massive, massive discount, but that unfortunately he had no pumps left. Obviously at this point I wasn't that interested in having his people work on the house, but I told him that if he was seriously making an offer to install it for almost nothing, we have a brand new, just-ordered pump he could use.

And that's when he ghosted me.

Fortunately, we were able to get a good plumber in before the next big storm hit. He installed our new pump and verified that the drainage was working properly. Our new pump got us through last night's storm like a champ, with no new flooding whatsoever.  If on the first night we had called that plumber instead of Plumbing Guys, we wouldn't be scrambling right now to find a way to pay 10k or more for remediation.

Stay safe out there, folks!

I contracted for two bathroom vanities to be replaced.  Some tile work was going to be required where I provided the tile (13-15 floor and wall tiles per bathroom; honed marble).  First vanity was demo'ed and removed ok and the new vanity went in ok.  Problems occurred with the tile work.  Paul may not be familiar working with natural stone.  The wrong grout was used (should be non-sanded grout vs sanded grout) and an acid based grout deglazer was used which severely pitted the honed tile (I needed to have the floor re-honed and re-grouted).  I decided to call it a day and did not have the 2nd vanity installed.  Work scheduling was also troublesome (rescheduling of work days due to various reasons; arrival time).

Quick service, knowledgeable plumbers and customer satisfaction. Thank you for assisting with my water heater. I'm happy again!

i had a problem with my whole sewer line it keep backing up, so i called star rooter and plumbing and a  lady  by the name Mary answer and she was really nice n i explain to her my problem n she said she could send someone in 45 minutes.  45 minutes pass by and the plumber arrived on time his name was Fred he was really nice n friendly guy . i told him what was the problem n he looked where the problem was n after couple of minutes he told me what was the problem exactly n how much it would cost i thought it was a reasonable price compere to other plumbers that had giving me other estimates. i would use them next time i have another problem .

These guys were super responsive and came out the next day despite it not being an emergency. The guy who came, Jose, was really friendly and checked in to see if he could stop by early. Got the job done quickly and cleanly and charged a very fair price since he didn't need to use the Rooter after all. Will use them again!

I am a property manager for some of my mother's bay area real estate investments, and was very pleased with the professionalism, efficiency, and overall customer service provided by Israr Khan.

I typically am very hesitant when I use non referral based services, and yet Israr was able to help me out in a jam, (they literally came out within the hour! Meanwhile my regular  service plumbers were completely MIA, hard to reach, and/or  unreasonably scheduled out ).

Plumbing connection is now my #1 go-to plumbing company.  I am so glad I stumbled upon their services on google!
Concerning: washing machine Pipes.

Until next time! (Hopefully later than sooner)  ;)

Angelo was awesome, super friendly, good pricing and knows what he's doing!  Thanks for fixing our sink Angelo, you're our plumber from here on out!

Highly recommend. Quality work at affordable rates. We live in a Mobile house and have found not many plumbers can do the necessary work. Precision can and did an excellent job.

We are very appreciative of Keshab, who responds in a timely manner, has expert skills, and does what it takes to get the job completed well.  We asked him to install a food waste disposal system. His initial inspection indicated that the connecting pipes required replacement, so he acquired what was needed to ensure proper and satisfactory installation.  His dedication to getting the job done correctly despite requiring extra time on his part testifies to his great attitude and work ethics.  Thanks, Keshab!

I'm guessing that a large percentage of plumber calls are emergencies.  I had a... crappy... emergency and called a few plumbers.  After dealing with some unprofessional types on craigslist and not getting in touch with many here on yelp I got in touch with Pelican Plumbers.  They were nice on the phone and then when Fito got to my house he explained the problem, told me what needed to be done, gave me a fair price and then did it.  
I'm happy that I don't have to go looking for a plumber again.

Too bad there aren't 6 or 7 stars. Gorge has been such a life saver several times for me. Both dependable about showing up, sometimes after me calling him at the end of a long day for him, and just darn good at fixing the problem!!, every time.

I would recommend Lunt Marymor to anyone. While the prices are not cheap, what plumber's prices are? The important thing is, they do solid work and stand behind it. We had a small leak in our toilet, a Porcher model that is not well known. Michael, the guy they sent out, not only knew the product, but told me that it was one of the better products out there - even the older model that we had. He knew what to do and fixed the problem quickly.

I have called on Albert Nahman Plumbing to help any time I have had a problem for many years.  They have always been professional and took care of the problem using quality parts and products.  I know I can always count on them to do the best job.
