I highly recommend this plumbing service as I have known the owner for nearly 10 years and he has excellent service professionals working for him. I needed help with a plugged shower and was able to get service on the same day I requested.
Jose Garcia came and was punctual, very professional and handled my issue with speed and expertise. He was very helpful and personable. This is a great plumbing business with kind and expert service and with reasonable rates. Highly recommend.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I filled out the general Yelp project details to request quotes from multiple plumbers. I stated my issue and asked for a quote to assess the issue, and for the repair. I didn't say anything about my expectations of cost. The arrogant response from Dave was off putting and unnecessary.
I can only assume he's been turned down for projects for high pricing. Fine, maybe he doesn't want to waste his time on estimates that don't get picked up. But his assumption of my intent and his aggressive response to a request for a quote was so rude!
I didn't bother responding to his comment and went with someone else (and certainly not at a "handyman price" whatever that is).Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

“Hi Anjali R.,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’d like to clarify a few points regarding your experience. First, it appears that we did not provide any service to you. Second, we typically do not offer free estimates over the phone, which is why I was unable to provide you with a price as requested. Third, I apologize if my words came across as harsh. My intention was to convey that as a licensed professional plumber, our pricing and quality of work are reflective of the high standards we maintain, which may differ from those of a handyman.
We value honest and constructive feedback, and we hope that in the future, reviews are based on actual services rendered. Best of luck to you, and thank you for considering us.
Sincerely,
Dave

Dave came on time and very quickly figured out how to fix the two bathroom sinks in our house which weren't draining properly. He was friendly and highly professional and completely solved the problems in under an hour. After dealing with the first sink he showed what he found blocking the pipe which turned out to be a toothbrush (!) that must have been in there for nearly three decades. I know it wasn't one of mine and I can only imagine it was one of my sister's from when she was living in the house when I had gone away to college. How it got in there remains an absolute mystery, but Dave came in and found the problem and solved it, and then went on to fix the other sink. Dave is a true pro and I'd recommend his services to everyone. A+ plumber!

I've added Dave's to my speed dial.
Our bathrooms would periodically have a bad odor over the years, and it recently became unbearable. I had called other plumbers before, and none could figure it out.
Raymond G. and Dave both came out to troubleshoot. Unfortunately, the odor wasn't present that day, but Raymond, a Toto-trained specialist, spent time walking through the possibilities. I really liked that he took time to think through the possible causes. He even noticed something wrong with the *sound* of the flush. A toilet whisperer. :)
I had them do a few other repairs instead like a leaky toilet, clogged tub, and kitchen faucet repair. They were reasonably priced.
The next day, the odor came back and the leaky toilet had an additional, smaller leak that we missed the day before. Raymond and Dave both returned, at no charge, to fix the additional leak. After verifying the odor, they checked the vents outdoors and found that those had been capped, trapping all the sewer gases! (A pest control company may have capped them to prevent rats from entering.) They uncapped and covered the vents properly, then tested the flushes. While the odor didn't go away immediately, they eventually disappeared that day. They checked all the roof vents and found another vent related to the dryer was capped. They even fixed that, and now the laundry room is no longer humid and hot!
What I like so much about both Dave and Raymond is that they truly care about the customer. They took the time to figure things out. They returned the second day at no charge to complete the fixes to the leaky toilet and vent problems. Dave even called back today to make sure everything is working properly.
They also didn't come with an attitude of "let me see how much I can rip off these rich Palo Alto residents." (I've had some bad experiences with plumbers doing that to me.) They are honest and trustworthy. You get the sense they take pride in making people happy while earning an honest day's wages.
So call Dave. You'll be happy.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Kurt E.San Jose, CA325Feb 16, 2024
