We found AceStar on here before the pandemic, and after contacting other highly rated plumbers who were unresponsive, expensive, or not interested, hired them to replace a kitchen faucet. Now we just contact AceStar for any plumbing issue. Johnny is always responsive, and usually comes out the next day even for minor jobs. As long as AceStar is in business, they will always have ours! read more

I am so happy we found AceStar! They came out and were able to install a pressure reducing valve for much less than a previous quote. They were friendly, courteous, and timely. I would recommend to anyone! read more

Had a leak appear on the hot water line on my rental. I tried troubleshooting but couldn't see where the leak was coming from. Found Johnny (AceStar Plumbing) through a referral from another plumber that my Brother uses who wasn't available to service my area. Johnny came pretty quickly and went to work finding the leak. Turns out the leak wasn't on a pipe but on a hose that the manufacturer used while doing the prefabrication of the house. Once the leak was found, turned into a rather simple job. I also had Johnny replace the hot water intake valve that I had broken in a closed position. read more

No need to look any further he's the real deal. He is a rare find a professional of integrity, polite and honest. He clearly takes pride in his work and uses quality materials. He showed up as scheduled and got the job done. You won't be disappointed if you hire him. My water heater damaged our floors so I had to replace it and decided to relocate it outside. Every plumber that gave us a bid made relocating it sound impossible and they wanted go into the roof. Johnny looked at the situation, listened to my concerns about the roof and explained how he would do the work. He gave us a reasonable bid and came back with a co-worker did the work with a great deal of attention to details. He clearly takes pride in his work. We will be hiring him again soon for more projects. read more

I am a first time customer. We had our water heater replaced by Johnny and his crew today on super short notice. I called around 10am and they were here working on taking out the old water heater by 1:30pm. The whole crew was very friendly and very efficient! They brought in the exact size water heater we needed and no significant modifications were needed to make it work in our HVAC/water heater closet. I am impressed by how organized they were and how swiftly they replaced the old failing water heater with a new one. The finished install also looks cleaner than the previous setup. These guys are professionals and I do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs a water heater replaced. We will probably call them first if we need other plumbing related work in our house. Thank you Johnny and crew! read more

I had an emergency need for a plumber YESTERDAY! We discovered a major leak under our kitchen sink and our warranty company denied it. I was frantic and put out a shout for a plumber. Johnny of Ace Star Plumbing called and said he was finishing up a job and would be here within an hour. Upon their arrival, Johnny noted the new faucet installed last year had broken, and instructed me that I needed a new faucet with attachments. I went to Home Depot and purchased what they recommended, and within an hour of my return they were back to put in the faucet. It took them about 1/2 hour and they were VERY professional, reasonable and they fit us into their schedule. I am so impressed with these guys and what is even more astonishing, they are located in El Sobrante. Please call Ace Star Plumbing at 510-837-8999; love them. read more

Showed up with a mask and shoe covers. Very efficient and professional work. Price was very reasonable. I would heartily recommend this company for your plumbing needs. read more

Our Oakland home has two original 1930 era toilets that developed leaks coming from the pipe that connects the toilet bowl to the wall-mounted tank. As it turns out, it's hard to find a plumber who is both qualified and willing to work on vintage toilets. Most plumbers want to scrap the old toilet and install a new toilet. In our case that would require ripping up our original bathroom tile floors to install a new flange and sacrificing the authenticity that is part of our heritage home. Johnny at AceStar Plumbing came to our rescue. He was actually referred by another plumber who didn't feel qualified to do the work. Johnny's only requirement was that I purchase the needed parts (flush valve, ell and spud) and have them ready to install. He carefully removed the wall tanks, replaced the parts, reassembled the toilets, secured the tanks to the tile walls using new anchors and thoroughly tested everything. In addition to fixing both toilets he repacked the leaking hot and cold water valve stems in the shower. I can confidently say this about Johnny -- he responds quickly to calls and texts, he is on-time, he is thorough, he is honest, and he is fairly priced. I would highly recommend him to others and would use him again for any plumbing issue that may arise in the future. read more

Got this referral from home advisor., I had a leak in my garage ceiling from an upstairs bathroom., I thought the worst tearing up sheet rock and so on. When he checked it out it was an issue with the faucet. RELIEF! Very professional glad I found him! read more

I highly recommend AceStar, particularly Johnny. I've had him replace water heaters at our own home and our rental house. He does what he says, when he says! He only installs top-of-the-line brand, which has resolved all issues I've had from using brands from Home Depot. Everything is now up to code - no hidden or added costs. His quote is honest and doesn't vary - even if it requires extra work. Please call Johnny and at least get a quote from him. The other plumbers I've used, sent by Fidelity Home Warranty, did not do the work properly and have cost more money in the long run. For some reason it seems more difficult to find honest, knowledgeable contractors than it should be. Johnny was recommended by a friend and I'm glad I took her advice. read more

Bypassed the LEAKING water pipe from under the house concrete slab by rerouting the water tubing through the attic to the main WATER MANIFOLD and replaced the old WATER TANK, all in one single day. They did a clean and professional job. Above any expectations. I highly recommend them especially for people living in the Sherwood Forrest area because they know the plan of the houses. Their estimates are comparatively very reasonable. read more

For years we searched for a reputable, knowledgeable, skilled, and affordable plumber. We went through far too many "hidden cost" and "did it wrong" contractors before we finally found Ace Star Plumbing. They are the best. Smart, experienced, always on time, and works with you to give you exactly what you need. Since finding them they have installed our water heater, stopped our pipes from rattling, replaced our kitchen plumbing, unclogged an incredibly blocked shower drain, installed new sinks & faucets, and much more. All at a reasonable price, done right the first time. This plumber is a keeper! read more
