I noticed my toilet leaking and called Zaragoza Plumbing for a quote. Once again, they gave me a great price to have it fixed. It was late in the day and they would be able to come out very early the next morning. The only problem was, I was going out of town early the next morning. I decided to see if I could call around and see if anyone else was available immediately. I called 5 other plumbers. I left 4 voicemails, only one called back and one answered. The one that answered was busy, and the one that called back was available immediately. The guy came over and gave me a quote (more than what Zaragoza quoted), but I was pretty desperate so I said what the heck, just do it. That was my mistake.
I had to call that company later that evening to let them know it was still leaking. They told me they would come out the next morning to look at it again. Darn, if this was the case, I would have gone with my #1 Plumbers at Zaragozas!
So..I do appreciate that the plumber showed up on time early the next morning. Diagnosed that it had a crack that they didn't notice the day before (Huh? Didn't look for a crack on a leaking toilet?) and was able to replace the toilet within an hour or two. But I was pretty stressed out all morning because it was just terrible timing for me that it had to be done that morning when I had a very busy schedule and had to leave. At the end of it all, they said they were giving me a 15% discount because they wanted me to write a Yelp review for them. Ok, I will work for discounts.
But afterwards, I felt like it was still pretty expensive. I decided, what the heck, let me call Zaragoza and asked how much it would cost to replace a toilet if they brought one over and disposed of the old one. My mouth dropped when Esperanza told me it would be over $300 LESS than the "discounted price" of the other plumber. The other plumber gouged me because they knew I was desperate, and probably charged me the cost for both trips he made to my house, even though they said they included that in the "discounted price." Once again, this reiterates that Zaragoza's is THE BEST PLUMBER with THE BEST PRICES. I know this because I have worked with them and I've worked with the other guys.
My lesson learned, I will exclusively work with Zaragoza's for the rest of my life. And I want to let everyone on Yelp know how honest, professional, affordable, and simply amazing these guys are. I will quote myself from my last review by saying, "Don't waste your time and money going with anyone else."Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Jul 24, 2012Previous reviewZaragoza Plumbing did an Outstanding Job! With the remodel of a recently purchased home, we called several plumbers to get a quote to: 1) hook up the kitchen sink, dishwasher, and new water filter after the new cabinet & counter tops were put in, 2) install a new copper line for the refrigerator ice maker (which requires going under the house), 3) fix the master bathroom loose shower spout, 4) correct the switched hot & cold water lines for the faucet in the master bathroom, and 5) snaking the sinks and showers in both bathrooms.
I was desperate to find a good licensed plumber but couldn't afford to be gouged. One of the plumbers I called was a locally licensed plumber in RP to come by to give me a quote. His quote was SIGNIFICANTLY more. :(
When Zaragoza Plumbing came to my house to do a free estimate, they were prompt and professional. They worked with my budget and gave me a very reasonable quote. I was ecstatic!!! I probably still wouldn't have running water in my kitchen if it wasn't for them.. LOL. Thank you Esperanza and fellas!
Zaragoza Plumbing worked quickly, efficiently, and did an EXCELLENT JOB. They are my plumbers for life. I can't give them enough praise. I HIGHLY recommend Zaragoza Plumbing. Don't waste your time and money going with anyone else. - Joe D.Novato, CA022Jun 4, 2024
Woke up to no hot water one morning so went to the water heater to see the burner failure light flashing on the unit. Was about to order a part and try to fix it myself but decided to get a professional opinion. I called Zaragoza, who had come to our house to give a free quote for a complete repipe of the house previously, to have a look. I called the office and was quickly told that someone would be at the house within 2 hours to take a look. Jose showed up on time, and not only quickly got the burner fired up, but advised me to call the manufacturer to see if my unit was under recall because of a faulty burner design to get a free replacement part. Unfortunately my unit missed the cutoff by a few months, but it was worth a try. I can't say enough good things about the professionalism of Jose, to take time to come by, get the water heater working, and recommend how to get a free part without charging a dime was truly an exceptional experience. Zaragoza is our plumber from this point on, and I surely do wish I used them for my repipe project. Lesson learned, thanks again Zaragoza team!

We do not recommend. We paid $800 to unclog a toilet. We ended up with a totally scratched toilet that looks terrible. Whole sections are now black (see photo). It now looks like a toilet in a bus station!
There is some yellow adhesive material at its base that we can''t clean up.
They ran a camera down our pipes and told us our pipes are misaligned but they won't show us the video. Still, they want $14,000 to do the repair.
Their truck has a sign on the side looking for help. So it seems they are hiring anybody. And we definitely got a less skilled crew.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We need to replace 30' of our outside drainage pipe. This job included digging an open trench, approx. 4 feet deep to remove the clogged and broken pipe and replacing it with new PVC pipe. We were completely satisfied with all aspects of the job that Zaragoza did for us. Jose came to our house within 2 days of our request for an estimate. The estimate was very reasonable and we were able to schedule the work to be done within the next week. Originally Jose said it would be 1 1/2 day job. They showed up with a crew of 4 and finished the work in 6 hours. On top of that after they cleaned up it was as if they had never been there-perfect. I would highly recommend this company!

Sink. Sank. sunk. My kitchen sink was being a grinch.
Highlights: Friendly professional service, COVID precautions in place, affordable pricing. CALL THEM
So my kitchen sink betrayed me by clogging so badly I not only plunged it with the sink plunger, poured chemicals guaranteed to work down the drain, I changed my garbage disposal, and bought a snake to then wear my arms out snaking the shit out of this pipe that was relentless,
I failed. Time to call a plumber. A professional.
I was scared because no one has been in my house since we quarantined after voting the primaries.
The person on the phone assured me covid precautions are solid, I can do contactless payment over the phone, and everything would be ok.
The appointment was also fast which I appreciated based on the duration of the clog I failed to mitigate.
Plumber arrived masked, gloved, and shoes in disposable booties. He waved hello and got to work minimizing conversation in the house. He released the stubborn clog with his power snake. I appreciated his bucket and drop cloth set up in case of mess.
After triple confirming the clog was clear he cleaned up after himself waved goodbye and we were dancing in the living room Charlie Brown Christmas style.
I highly recommend for their efficiency\experience, Covid precautions, friendliness, ease of scheduling, and pricing.
Now that the kitchen sink is clear I can get back to the all day quarantine cooking and baking I love doing for my family.
I feel really happy the clog is gone while my home and family remain safe.Helpful 24Thanks 0Love this 25Oh no 0Business owner information

I had Zaragoza complete my sewer lateral in May 2023. They were so nice and professional. We needed to go through a neighbors yard too and even my neighbors commented on how great they were. Yard was all cleaned back up. Staff is super nice too. Very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.

"Bummer, bummer, I need a plumber...".
After doing the relatively cheap fix on my water heater last fall I knew it was on its last legs. I was only hoping to get an additional year out of it before having to spring for a brand new one, for which the quotes I was receiving were quite over the top.
When my water heater began failing again recently it was less dramatic than last fall. The water was still warm - not hot - giving me the time to shop around for a less ridiculous price on a new water heater. A couple of plumbers came out and assessed the situation and quoted me a price for installing a new water heater. Zaragoza Plumbing's price was $50 less than the other estimate I got and that along with their professionalism was enough to land them the job.
Here's what I liked about Zaragoza Plumbing:
1. I was able to reach a live person on the phone.
2. They were willing to come out, assess the situation, and give me a quote at no cost.
3. When they came out, they came on time and followed up with a written quote via e-mail later that same day.
4. They were able to complete the job soon and up to code.
5. They scheduled the permit inspection for me but allowed that inspection to be done without them being on site. This meant I didn't have to pay for additional man-hours.
6. Were any problems identified in the inspection, causing the heater to fail the permitting process, they would remedy those problems without additional charge. They were essentially guaranteeing that the install would pass the inspection process.
On the day of installation the team from Zaragoza Plumbing came on time, completed the installation, then rang my doorbell and told me I'd have plenty of hot water in a few hours. I did and still do.
I was very pleased with every aspect of service from Zaragoza Plumbing. I never love having to spend $2,150 (50-gallon Bradford White heater purchased, installed, and permitted) but when I must, it goes down a lot easier when things go as smoothly as they did with Zaragoza.Helpful 13Thanks 0Love this 12Oh no 0Business owner information

Zaragoza Plumbing has replaced an old natural gas heater with a new electric one. The pricing was one of the most competitive, the installation team was on time, worked efficiently and with good quality. We are pleased with the outcome and would recommend their service. Thank you!

That was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. While unreliable before, I could have forgiven them; but the project manager they sent out to service my tub was beyond belief arrogant and unprofessional. First time was notable but not excessive; today was unforgivable and this company will never get my business.
