Very good service very good work. Had a hot water heater put in for very competitive price. Will hire him again.

Fast response time. Had a clogged sink and they came in the very next day and got it unclogged fast. No hidden fees. Would highly recommend.

Today was my 3rd service by Howard. The short version: 1. Prompt. 2. Perfect workmanship. 3. Reasonable rate. 4. When you call, you actually talk to Howard himself! I could go on, but that pretty much tells it. He'll get my next call--there's no reason for me to consider a competitor. read more

Howard and Robert came out and within 2 hours fixed a problem in my shower that several other plumbers have not been able to find. So happy I called them. The price was very, very reasonable. Will definitely be calling them for all my plumbing needs. Thank you Howard and Robert! read more

I ALWAYS call Howard with Absolute Plumbing. I believe he gives a fair price and sincere in his assessments. I have been using Absolute Plumbing for 6 years on my home and two rental properties and love supporting a small business with prompt attention and great communication! He is SAVED in my phone....highly recommend. read more

Was so glad Howard was the one I got for my kitchen sink and toilet issues. A good honest guy. Highly recommended! ... Nap Lopez

I had a new water heater installed, repair on 3 faucets and replaced 2 shower heads. Howard and his helper were so nice and efficient. I'm very happy with the work they did and very reasonable. I highly recommend them! read more

I'm a believer! Howard of Absolute Plumbing is absolutely the guy I will call the next time I need a plumber. He informed me that my issue was a simple fix and went on with instructions on how to resolve the issue. He could have easily made an appointment, come out and charged me his normal rate and made a very quick profit. It's not very often that you come across a tradesman that doesn't want to take advantage in some way, to improve profits. Howard, thank you for your assistance and I look forward to meeting you in the future. read more

I had 2 separate plumbing problems at our home and called them in a panic. He was literally there within 20 minutes. He was super friendly and got the job done in short order! Way to go Absolute Plumbing. You are on my speed dial now!! read more

I hired absolute plumbing again to replace my bathroom faucets this time and Howard did an excellent job. The faucets look great and the price was very reasonable. I felt that I should have paid him more but he was okay with the amount that he charged me. I am grateful for absolute plumbing and i will be hiring them for my 3rd plumbing project. I highly recommend them especially to women like me who are looking for plumbing services and was not sure who to hire. Thank you Howard and Yelp! read more

Super nice guys. Howard and Robert came to my house to appraise a broken pipe under my house and scheduled a time around my schedule to come back and do the job the following week. A day before our appointment I received a notice that my street would be closed for possibly the entire day so I called Howard to reschedule. To my surprise Howard and Robert stopped by to see if the street was reopened so they could help us out and do the job sooner than later. I was very impressed that they would even take the time to see if my house was accessible. They did the work and made sure everything was flowing smoothly with no leaks. It seemed to be done very quick and efficiently. They are great guys that do great work and they really care about their customers. read more

Referred as a very reliable plumber in the Lodi area. I was not steered wrong. The owner Howard, very courteous gentleman. He was responsive to my need, conducted quality work at a extremely fair price. He will get all my future plumbing business! Thanks read more

These guys are AWESOME! Bathroom sink had a minor problem with making noise and they fixed in a few seconds and didn't even charge me. Great guys! I would definitely call them again when I have a plumbing problem. read more

Howard is the most friendliest, helpful plumber I have met!!! I don't know anything about plumbing and am new to the area (moved to Stockton last year). I heard his name and business on the radio and decided to call. He came out the next day! I will be calling him again if I have any more problems and would highly recommend him. read more

Howard picked up the phone when we called, walked us through several scenarios on fixes, and ultimately found the most cost effective solution to fix our water heater with a replacement pilot light assembly. What was most amazing about the experience is that he called a few days later to ensure the repair was holding up. You just don't expect and experience this type of Customer Service anymore, yet Howard @ Absolute Plumbing, exemplified service ... the way it should be. Thank you, Howard. read more

Gave us a quote for work pretty quickly. Showed up promptly the next day. Ended up being a simple fix. Didnt charge us for the work because of the simplicity. Will call again. read more

Absolute Plumbing is reliable, competent, honest, and dedicated to doing the job right. I have used these guys in the past and have referred them to friends and family and everyone is happy with their work. read more

We had such a great experience with this company! We had a leaking toilet and it wasn't a huge deal so we asked if he could come by sometime in the week or the following week. Howard was able to come in the next couple days, first thing in the morning. He already had an idea of what needed to be done, but also knew the problem exactly after taking a look. Estimate and fixed in under an hour, not to mention it didn't break the bank. Thank you Howard! read more

Great service,fast response,i had my water heater fix and haven't had a problem with it since,will definitely recommend to everybody and will use this company again in the future read more

I found this company after reviewing Yelp and I cannot express my level of satisfaction with Howard. I have been managing property for 20 years but this year is the first time we went residential. We had a toilet that had been giving us headaches for about 4 years with several companies coming out pretending to fix it, charging enormous rates, and when called back due to same problem, would go into a long story about the pipes needing replacement and no matter how many times they came out...we would have the same issue. Yes I am talking about Discount Plumbing. When we became landlords, we knew this would be the first big expense and within a month we got that dreaded phone call by our new tenants. With our reputation on the line we reached out to Howard. He arrived on time and called me when he was not able to pull his snake out of the toilet because something was blocking it. I was stressed but not Howard. He said he just needed to remove the toilet and would be able to get a better look. 2 hours passed and I got a call. In 2 hours, Howard was able to contact the county, have them come out and turn off the water, remove the toilet and discover a tiny wooden flute that was likely flushed by my 5 year old , 3 years ago. In addition he replaced the wax ring and other parts that were so rusted that a simple nudge or bump could result in a full scale flood. You wonder how much??? 211.00. That's it!!! He didn't call me every five minutes asking questions. He didn't look for reasons why he couldn't fix the problem, he just took control and took care of it like a BOSS. You can tell he takes pride in his work and not in it for the paycheck. I will never use anyone else and if you value your home or reputation, I recommend you do the same. Thank you so much Howard! read more

I had a plumbing problem with my kitchen sink. I checked out several different companies both here in Yelp as well as the BBB. Narrowed the list down to 2, and Absolute Plumbing ended up coming out to unclog the kitchen drain and vent pipe. Both Howard and Robert were compassionate, quick, efficient and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be calling them again if and when I have another plumbing problem. read more

I placed a call and recording said they were closed on Jan. 2nd. I sent E-mail asking if someone could get back to me by 2:00 the next day. Well I was surprised to see that Howard the owner had E-mailed me back and said he could meet me after 2:00 the next day. I had asked him for price to snake drain and run camera thru line because I was having problems. Well Howard was Polite enough to call me back and tell me he was just leaving Lodi and he was on his way. Howard put camera in line and saw that there was a sink snake that had broken off in line and was all balled up.He then proceded to snake line and after a few trys he was able to pull out broken snake with some roots. He then ran camera thru again and line was cleared. When we were all done he made the bill out and didn't even charge me more for the extra work he had done. Howard was a wonderful person and I would recommend him for anyone looking for a Plumber. I have now found my go to guy when I have Plumbing issues. Thanks again Howard for your wonderful service. Michael Muller read more

I'll be singing the praises of Absolute Plumbing for a long long time. I think they are Living Angels. Bonney Plumbing wouldn't even try, and RotoRooter failed, but Absolute got here in less time, and performed the needed fix in less time than it took either one of the others to fail. Absolute is kind, smart, not afraid of work, knows how to talk to a customer without putting them down, and left me with solid confidence in their service. I believe they are truly honest. Sorry if I embarrass anyone with my praise but I can't help it. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER, ABSOLUTE PLUMBING! read more

They completed a underground gas pipe repair that had a gas leak. The plumbers were professional and efficient on completing the job. PG&E came out and the repair passed their inspection. This was my first time using this company and I found that they were customer orientated. As a homeowner I highly recommend this company and will call them for future repairs when needed. read more

Called Howard and he was here with in an hour. I had to get my gas shut off valve fixed up. It wasn't closing the gas properly. He got here did the job and was not expensive at all. He gave me a great deal. I will be using his services again. Very helpful and awesome attitude to. read more

Our waterheater finally gave out. Looked through reviews on Yelp and decided to call Absolute Plumbing. Called in the late afernoon to ask for a quote. Howard replied within 10 minutes. I discussed my needs. After discussing, he quoted a price on a waterheater unit that was very competitive and actually beat the price of a unit (different brand) at the big box store. After agreeing, he indicated that he would come by at 0730 the next day to take measurments and determine what he would need. He arrived at 0730, promptly. He indicated he would come back in 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours, which he did. Not only prompt, but couteous and profesional. He finised by 1030. Should we encounter future plumbing issues, we will not hesitate to call Howard at Absolute Plumbing again. read more

Spoke to Howard this morning to request a quote but unfortunately he does not service the Livermore area. But he gave me lots of advice and insight to my plumbing issues. He stayed on the phone with me to answer all my questions. Stockton is lucky to have Absolute Plumbing in their area. Thank you Howard for spending some of your valuable time to answer my questions. read more

I am absolutely thrilled that I saw this company on Yelp. Howard (the owner) was so nice when I called and explained my problem. I had another company come out to fix this problem a few weeks ago (they had to come back twice in the same day because they couldn't fix it the first time) but the problem came back so I started to look for a new plumber. Thank goodness for Yelp. When I saw the wonderful reviews for Absolute Plumbing I called and made an appointment. Now I am not going to lie, I thought maybe these reviews were a little too good to be true....I couldn't have been more wrong....thank goodness. As soon as Howard arrived, right on time, he was very personable and listened to me explain my problem again and he explained what he believed the problem was and he went to work to fix it. In explaining the problem I mentioned that my bathtub was draining a little slower then usual that morning but I thought it was hair clogging the drain. The water the was draining from my washing machine was backing up and spilling out onto my floor. Howard tested the drainage after fixing the problem and it worked great. But as I was filling my washing machine with water to test it Howard went to my bathroom and fixed my bathtub, which drained great this morning. His pricing is very fair and reasonable (less then the other plumbing company used before). I asked for a couple of cards because I will definitely be recommending him to family and friends. read more

Reached out to Howard early in the morning for a plugged shower drain and was surprised how quickly I received a response (it was before 8:00AM!!) He was able to make it out and clear the drain within a half hour of calling him due to a previous cancellation. Cannot say enough good things about how great the service is - fast, efficient, affordable, and very pleasant!! Thank you for coming to the rescue Howard. read more

Very professional and prompt. Great job of unplugging my tub. No messy around and fixed it in no time flat. Howard apprised me of potential problems with my VERY old plumbing and fortunately there ended up being no issues. Yea!. Reasonable price and dependable. I will keep his number on hand in case of any future problems. I highly recommend Absolute Plumbing! read more

I searched high and low to find a good plumber, someone that would be honest and not try to rip me off, as well as do really good work. Thank God for yelp, because after reading reviews on Absolute Plumbing, I gave them a call I had a leak in the upstairs bathroom that was continually running,, I was really scared of what this would cost, I know nothing about plumbing, but the word alone sometimes makes you think a really big bill no matter what. Nope, Howard came over, found the problem explained it to me thoroughly, and quoted me an amazing price! Howard is such a great guy on top of everything else, you can just tell he's a really nice honest person. I will never use anyone else! read more

First off, these guys are OUTSTANDING! I have an old craftsman house (1926) and funky plumbing throughout. Recently, while trying to repair my backyard sprinklers, I broke the very old valve which turned on the sprinkler water inside the garage. That valve was entangled inside a mess of ugly piping that also connected the set tub and washer (three overall connections to the same hot/cold copper. I called Absolute Plumbing to come out and take a look after I took apart the wall and capped off the copper pipes. Howard was able to come out the very same day and give me a quote. The quote was very reasonable and he scheduled the appointment quickly. They just finished up the project and it only took them two hours to complete (way under my estimate). The work they did was just awesome on top of being just great guys. Very polite, very reasonable pricing, great work. I do a lot of research prior to subbing out work in my home; so I read all their reviews here on their Yelp page prior to booking and took the gamble. All these reviews were right on the money as these guys are great. If you're looking for any plumbing project to be done, call Howard at Absolute Plumbing...I know I'll call him again when I have some other plumbing problems. read more

Howard and his other plumber (I apologize for forgetting his name) came over on Tuesday to do a job for us. The problem was that it took a long, long time to her hot water to the other side of the house. Before we called Absolute Plumbing we had gotten an estimate from a different plumber. His estimate was $3000! We were floored by the amount. (We don't know if he just didn't want the job, or...I don't want to say it. Maybe he had some other procedure in mind, but he did not give us any options.) Absolute did the job for $395. They did the job quickly, cleanly and at a very reasonable price, and we now get our hot water within seconds. (They installed a small, electrically driven device -- like a pump -- on the hot water output at the water heater.) Howard and the other plumber were so friendly and helpful. Howard even told me how to set the hot water setting on a shower head, which I successfully did and saved money. In my book, Absolute Plumbing is absolutely the best plumber in town. read more
