Best Water Heater Repair in Oakland CA

Charges are ridiculous. They showed up an hour late, no apology, looked at the toilet part that needed to be replaced, went to buy it and then installed. Total time 1 hour 17 minutes. Charge $325 with no itemization. I asked them why so high for 77 mins. They adjusted to $285 including $60 for the part. I called the store where they bought the part and they told me it is $30. When I asked why they double the part price they said it's a few parts and the do mark up. When I got the exact same parts it turns out it's a kit-all parts included for that $30 and took me 10 minutes to install In our other toilet. Had they charged a more reasonable $150 or so I probably would have had them do it without checking. I checked. This company is fleecing it's customers. One and done for me. $285 for 10 minutes of work is like a doctor visit.

Great response time, easy to schedule. The technician was able to fix 2/3 of my issues and offered to replace more than the gaskets on the toilets (but wasn't necessary) in under 10-15 minutes. He said he could fix the 3rd issue with the shower and spent the majority of the time doing that, took it apart, but unfortunately was unable to do so. Total bill $395.00

Thank you Abraham and Jesse !  We had a major leak above the water heater.  Flooded the garage.  I posted this on yelp and Abraham was one of the first to respond.  I didn't have much time to decide and based on the Yelp reviews I called Major General Plumbing.
They came in about an hour and check the pipe above the water heater and immediately said this pipe needed to be replace.  was afraid that the leak was coming from above or upstairs, but Abraham said we'll fix one part at a time to save you money.  After a quick trip to the store, they got the parts and replaced the pipe very quickly. They turned the water back on to test to see if there was a leak and sure enough it was fixed. Also, they noticed the shut off valve for the house was worn out and that they would replace it at a $200 discount.  I was impressed., they really are expert plumbers.

Same day service -- great attitude; found it important to educate me on the issue too.
Highly recommended.

Contacted them today to get help with our suddenly non-functioning water heater, received a fairly quick call back from Tsering who says they no longer do any inside plumbing work, they only do outside sewer lateral work now. Who knew? So unless you need a sewer lateral replacement, don't waste your time calling these guys!

We had problem with our drainage in the bathroom which caused a leak in our closet downstairs. He came to check it out and advised what needed to be done. He was able to fix it and replace any outdated parts. Thanks Ben.

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.

Handyman Heroes exceeded my expectations on every level. From the moment I contacted them via email, to paying the invoice, they were responsive and professional through the entire job.

JOB: We needed a heavy sign hung up in our office. I got a quote that was 8x as much as Handyman charged (not kidding). The two gentlemen who showed up to hang the sign (Stephen & Jake) were ON TIME, friendly, efficient and did a great job. Bonus - they were very conscientious about cleaning up after the job.

Pretty much everything the company said they would do - they did. Expeditiously and professionally. I will for sure use them again!

Our hot water heater was giving us vast problems.  I gave Joey a call and he came out the *next day* and installed a brand-new American Standard hot water heater.  He and his assistant are real nice guys.  And quite knowledgeable as well.  What I like is within their busy schedule they make time for you.  Several other plumbers I have called are booked up for days.  Joey is always there the same or next day.

The other good thing is if I need plumbing parts, Joey knows a lot of great places to go that are very helpful with their customers.  He does not refer Home Depot (I personally don't care for that place).  But he does refer you to great suppliers if you need parts.

Thank you!

This by far was THE best experience I've had dealing with a vendor during a pretty stressful situation. My water heater was making strange sounds. So naturally I called the number on the heater and found out there was a recall. They provided me originally with another plumber who didn't have the parts in hand. Given the nature, I asked them to provide me with another plumber and so glad they did... They sent me to Plumbing Care. I phoned late in the day, explained the situation and they tried to get someone in the same day (I sure didn't expect that!). It didn't work out same day, but they got someone over by AM the following day. They are super professional. They send a text before arrival of the technician along w. a photo so you know who to expect. The tech was in and out in 5 mins. They even took pictures of the before, during and after of my water heater. A-mazing! I'd refer them to everyone in the area!!! Happy customer!!

Great service. Timely response both to original call and to appointment. Clogged drains fixed. I will use Elite Plumbing for any future plumbing issues

I've known owner Tom Cortez and his family for over 20 years through St. Raymond's in Dublin, but when our Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) went out last week. that was not the first reason I called Savior Plumbing.

The reason I called is great service. Tom sent a crew member out the next day and not only replaced the PRV valve, but also replaced some leaking hose bibs in the laundry room.

Their man was fast, efficient, professional and did excellent work on both jobs.

I highly recommend Tom and his great team at Savior Plumbing.

Rey came to my house quickly after I called him. Our water heater wasn't working and he went into the crawl space and immediately had it working. When I asked him how much I owed, he said no charge. Hard to find that kind of service. I highly recommend him.

If your home's water heater is broken and you want someone who will do honest and reliable work at a reasonable price, I strongly recommend them.

Helpful, responsive, and fixed our appliance issue.  I'm sure I'll reach out again. Thank you!

Quality work! We had a sump pump issue that turned into a hard to solve problem. No worries though because these folks trouble shot and resolved the issu

We had an alarm from SF Water about sudden unusually high water usage.  CR&P was assigned to service our home by our home warranty.  I spoke with Daniel and he dispatched technician right away.  Ron the technician came on time, checked everything very carefully, didn't find any leaks, the problem seems due to malfunctioned water reader.  Overall, excellent service, professional efficient.  would call them again.

I've used this service several times and continue to be impressed. I had bad experiences with other plumbers not knowing what they're doing and creating ineffective solutions at my expense, so it's very important to me to be able to trust my plumber. Lunt Marymor has never let me down. They've repaired toilets, unclogged drains, replaced fixtures and fixed leaks, each done well within a reasonable billable period.

We had flooding into our home during the last storm and it became apparent our external drain pipe wasn't working properly.  I quickly made an appt with Albert Nahman's for someone to asses the issue and let me know what work was needed. Stanley, from Albert's, showed at our home this morning right on time and although he was only there to provide an estimate to repair, he went above and beyond to get our existing drain pipe cleared out so we wouldn't have to worry about flooding with the next storm coming tonight. We will still need to replace the pipe and I will absolutely be going back to Albert Nahman's to get the work done!
