Description
We started 5 Star Plumbing 7 years ago and wanted to provide great customer service and quality work at a price people can afford. Here we dont substitute quality work for a low price. We offer you a fair, low price while giving you quality work done right. We keep our overhead low which in turn saves you money. We offer same day service and 24/7 emergency services. Our water heater installation prices are 30-40% lower than our competitors at the big box stores and we treat every home as it was our own. If you found a lower price we will beat any written estimate by a reputable company.

Reviews
Had a clogged sink, which required snaking. Quoted 150 but clog was more in-depth, and was charged more, perfectly normal. The first day cost me 300, then said he had to come back the next day which cost 300 more. Was some shady pricing. In total cost me $600 and the drain was still clogged. Called the rotor-rooter company after 5-star plumbing and the guy unclogged it in 10 minutes which cost $420. I would not recommend 5-star plumbing, I believe the plumber to be inexperienced and slightly shady in pricing. Stick with the pros
Reply to owner: I see you changed your first reply which is fine ( in photos). If you no longer wish to refund me. To reply to my issues: you said a price via text of 300 dollars then sent me and invoice for $360,( in photo) citing you checked the pipes. Only after being confronted with the issue, did you come up with I went over the rental time for the snake, therefore I would be charged This is my issue, besides another company coming in and resolving the issues in less than 30 mins. You told I had a collapsed pipe in the front yard (photo), to which roto-rotor found no evidence.(photo)
We have an empty property we were preparing to rent / sale and needed a licensed plumber to fix a leak in the bathtub ASAP. The repair person / owner Jason was informed of our deadline to complete the job. He not only assured us it would be done the very next day. But also promised the work area would be left like no one was even there. Even though he said he will need to cut part of the wall out and remove our vanity on the other side of the tub to get to the damaged pipes.
The leak was fixed, but the customer experience was horrible. The main problem for this business is an inability to not only communicate effectively. But work with some level of integrity & accountability. We paid the 50% deposit immediately upon request. We then received multiple delays over the next 48 hr period including false arrival times that we had to constantly reach out ourselves to get an update on. It got to a point when we called to inform Jason we would go another route and wanted our deposit back (minus any service fee for diagnosing the source of the leak). He seemed offended by this change of heart because he mentioned he was in the check out line buying materials to fix our leak and said This is why I ask people like you for a deposit... Well you can kiss that deposit goodbye! and the call ended.
Later his wife / secretary called back to apologize and assure us he was finally in route after picking up supplies to do the job. We accepted and asked that the final invoice be amended to include a note that the tub drain is working properly bcus we tested it ourselves. But we needed documentation from a licensed plumber stating that the drain is operating correctly. Jason decided to snake the drain anyway even though he said he didn't pull out or see anything that would've cause slow draining. But still charged us for it and didn't accept responsibility for misreading our request (via text). To make matters worse, he told us we can caulk the newly installed tub knobs & faucet ourselves; after not cleaning the tub up and saying he couldn't put back the vanity and the wall the way it was like he was never there as he promised. Also that it was more work than he initially assumed. We can respect the honesty, but to not even offer a discount after displaying bad time management issues and poor customer service is absurd! Jason wouldn't consider removing the charge for snaking our drain when we didn't ask him to do it in the first place. With all that, we still paid the full invoice balance (over $300 more than the original quote). We figured, hey it's the holidays and we can only hope they needed the money more than they needed a long time customer. In short, 5 Star Plumbing is not a business we can trust to do any future work for us, even though he offered $75 off the next job!!!! UUUMMMMM NO WE'RE GOOD.
Worse service and crooked plumbing service ever, very shoddy and shady business. It's ran by a husband and wife team that essential want to get quick money and move on without fixing the problem. They also run under Underbudget plumbing name. Be ware and save your $$ and don't use them. Our management company has used multiple contractor in the past and this is a worse one. We love to support small businesses but this one is definitely a very shady one.
