Get 5 star service without paying 5 star prices. I have over 19 years of experience in the plumbing trade. I focus on quality and service at affordable prices. I can take care of clogged drains, leaky faucets, running toilets and old pipes. I also have extensive knowledge and experience with shower valve repairs for all the major brands including Grohe, Hans Grohe and Rohl. Let me be your second opinion before a simple repair unnecessarily becomes a bathroom remodel. I’m licensed, bonded and insured.

Had a leak under my kitchen sink. Was a head scratch until Affordable told me to check my faucet sprayer. Sure enough, it wasn't screwed on tight. Problem solved.
No charge. Didn't need to send anyone out. Just quick and helpful on a Sunday evening.
Thanks again!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - San Jose G.San Jose, CA011May 6, 2024Updated review
Called Mike for a second job, and once again he did not disappoint. This was a tough one, involving the removal and replacement of a broken porcelain sink. Mike came up with a great solution and made it happen. Mike also made a second trip back to the property to provide some additional supporting metal tape for the sink while the adhesive cured. He didn't need to do this, but it was very much appreciated.
In two times using APS, my experience is that Mike goes out of his way to provide additional value, and cares a lot about his customers. Strong recommend.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Apr 28, 2021Previous reviewExcellent experience with Mike today. capping a water line in my house. Mike made a quick trip to Almaden, and took care of the issue.
What I really liked was that Mike tried to help me resolve the issue before setting the appointment. He gave me good instructions as to how to fix it myself, but unfortunately my local Ace didn't gave the right part. I really appreciated the effort to save me money, even though I could not manage it myself. Once I called him back, Mike showed up earlier than scheduled and completed the work well.
Mike also gave me a great recommendation regarding my water heater temperature, which he explained was heating water too hot for our family. He was busy and on his way to another appointment and didn't need to take the time to notice or explain, but he did both, which was truly helpful. - Dana T.San Jose, CA0353May 1, 2024
Michael is well deserving of his 5-Star reviews! On Sunday I researched plumbers for a list of issues that were not urgent and messaged two plumbers through Yelp asking for an estimate. Michael responded immediately, and the other 5-Star plumber responded much later that day and said since it was Sunday I should reach back out if I still needed help. Hmmm. I said they weren't urgent issues so he could have responded on Monday, but decision made!
Michael was extremely communicative and came out for the estimate. He had great recommendations, was clear on what he could and couldn't do (repair the dishwasher if replacing the clogged drain pipe didn't fix the problem). He even went ahead and fixed one of the items on the list since it was small and quick (the bathroom sink stopper). So thoughtful!
His estimate was very fair and his knowledge was impressive. We hired him, he came and fixed everything. Neat, considerate--what more could you want? Well how about when everyone who was supposed to turn the water back on in our condo building disappeared, and Michael stayed over an extra hour so he could make sure all his repairs worked and didn't charge us. I think most plumbers would have left or charged us. This was 10-Star service!
Items repaired: Replaced a bathroom faucet, replaced the dishwasher drain pipe (and the dishwasher works!), snaked the shower, repaired the running toilet. As a bonus, he saw that the cold water shut off valve in the bathroom did not turn off completely, so he included that replacement in his estimate and fixed it too.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joe H.Cupertino, CA07Mar 6, 2024
Very professional, courteous, nice & experienced.
Michael was very thorough and made sure to explain everything to me for what he did. He is trustworthy, very reasonable, dependable. Not only did great job, also pleasant to work with.
Highly recommend Michael to anyone in need of plumbing services.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 18, 2023
Michael did an excellent job replacing my kitchen sink faucet. I was trying to finally reduce my honey do list that has been untouched for 6 years. I had three objectives, and shared all three. He quoted for the faucet and offered to look at the other two when he got there. One issue failed to demonstrate itself while he was there and he said it wouldn't be a certainty to be fixed but he has an avenue he could try.
Another issue is a toilet that won't stop running, after some decisions about fixing or replacing he actually talked me out of that job entirely. He has had a bad experience in the past of a wife reducing the honey do list with an experienced professional.
Finally the faucet, you supply your own, but the plate that covers the two extra holes in a sink is wider for some faucets and narrower for others. When he discovered this he offered to skip the plate but patiently waited when a went back to Home Depot to bring home a couple more choices. He didn't charge extra for the 20 extra minutes to wait. He was courteous, offered advice on a nearby pipe and checked the line pressure. My new faucet works like a champ!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Andrew C.San Jose, CA64364Jun 5, 2024
Mike was super helpful in assisting with a very simple fix. He helped diagnose the problem and we found an easy fix in under an hour that save me a lot of money and time. He has real expertise that shows in every question he asks and if how quickly he can find a solution. I'll be coming back for sure.

Highly recommended! The response is very quick. They came to my house within one hour and identified the leaking problem and replaced the aging pipes and reset and seal everything and tested no leaking anymore. The job was done perfectly and professionally.

Mike fixed the leaking of my toilet in just one hour and the cost is very reasonable. He also explained the fix to me in great detail and gave me good suggestions. Will likely ask him again for future projects.

I scoured yelp for highly rated plumbers when my pot filler over my stove started leaking. I called several with varying responses ranging from a single text saying you have to turn off the main water valve (not helpful) to complete radio silence. I left a message for Affordable Plumbing Services. Within 15 minutes I received a call back from Mike. I explained the problem and he immediately told me what was wrong and that I should contact the manufacturer of the pot filler because they have an excellent warranty and would probably send me the parts for free. I did just that and he was absolutely correct. When the parts were delivered I called him back and scheduled the repair. He arrived within the timeframe he quoted and repaired the pot filler quickly, efficiently and for a fair price. What I appreciated most about Mike was that he is a genuinely good person, excellent conversationalist and all around nice guy. I have worked with no fewer than ten plumbers over the past few years and I finally found someone I would not hesitate to recommend, not only for being a quality plumber, but also a quality person.
