Alvarez plumbing was subcontracted by our property manager to snake our drain that runs from the kitchen to the garage. They fixed the drain, but when they plugged in their electric snake, they unplugged our deep freezer. We lost $1000+ worth of frozen meat and seafood, as well as the freezer because the stench will not come out. Alvarez has been avoiding my calls for a month and refusing to take responsibility for their mistake. Dominic the owner has since returned my call but is refusing to accept responsibility. Shady business. AVOID!! read more

I've used Alvarez Plumbing for years. On Thursday August 13th (afternoon) I had a sewage backup and Alvarez sent out a plumber. He was here approx. 20 minutes, snaked the line and said it was taken care of. Three days later, August 17th (morning), the sewer line backed up again (same location). I called the office and was told that they only guarantee their work for 24 hours and that they were booked up for the day and a plumber would be sent out after hours (7 pm to 9pm) and it would cost extra money for after hours work. She told me THREE times it would cost more money this time. I will NEVER use this company again nor would I recommend them to family and friends. read more

I needed a kitchen faucet replaced. I bought the faucet and needed someone to install it. Alvarez Plumbing was recommended to me so I called. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and helpful. Jose arrived in a timely manner, was professional and completed the job perfectly. He even took away the old faucet for me. I highly recommend Alvarez Plumbing! read more

Over charged me for a simple job. Dishonest company. Plumber totally ripped me off and charged me double what it should have been in terms of the hours billed. read more

I called Alvarez plumbing yesterday after going through one other plumber and one appliance repair shop, and I am so glad I did!!! Two hours later, my sink was not leaking water everywhere when I washed dishes. Juan did an efficient job, and he explained what he was doing. We are very grateful for his work; we will definitely be using this business in the future if we have plumbing issues. read more

Great service flexible to my schedule, Cassandra was a great help and very knowledgable in her job, other plumbers were never ever to fix my problem and Alvarez was!! read more

I had one toilet that had problems and one needed to be replaced. These guys did a great job and finished in a timely manner. Ask for Michael. He's a dedicated worker. read more

These people did a horrible job building a bathroom and shower for me. They used wrong material, failed to grout the tile around the wall or even around the toilet. I have leakage problems. The owner Dominic uses worthless workers who do the worse plumbing job. When I asked him to come fix things, he hit on me. What a disgusting man and a poor excuse for a plumber. Do not hire this company. You will pay double to fix their bad work. read more

They were referred by a friend and it was worth it. Jose was in and out in 30 minutes. He was very very knowledgeable on his job. I was so in pressed and will keep his card and call again when I need a plumber. I was scared to call a plumber because 16 years ago I called a plumber for the same job. It end up costing $70,000.00. My house was torn apart, by the grace of God I made it through. So thank you very much for doing a great job and I will let everyone know to call Jose. read more

Very disappointed. Appointment was from 1-3. Showed up at 3:30. Once a year our bathroom sinks and laundry room get backed up. Simple solution should have been in and out in less than an hour. He was here for 1.5hrs so has to charge for 2hrs and proceeded to tell me I was getting a deal because we was now in after hours and should be charging me for over time (even though he was late to the appointment!) read more

Alvarez Plumbing was the best plumbing service we've had in years! They arrived before their estimated time. They were fast, efficient and very helpful! And very reasonable! We even received a refund for an overcharge! When does that happen? They will be the ones I call for our next plumbing need! read more

Alvarez Plumbing was called to fix the problem of water running out of the toilet bowls whenever the city works on the sewer lines. They installed a 2-way clean out device to the tune of $900 which I thought fixed the problem. Surprise! When the city again worked on the sewer lines the same smelly problem occurred. I called Alvarez Plumbing to complain. they sent a worker out to whom I again explained what the problem is. HIs response was that the 2-way clean out device was not the right device and would do nothing to fix the problem. After speaking to several employees beforehand I thought I had made clear what the problem is and what needed to be done to fix the problem. Give them credit for their customer service. They did come out promptly and installed the correct device. read more

Been using Alvarez for 10 years for my plumbing needs. We have an older house and recently replaced piping/hot water heater. Have also had them out to snake drains and do other work. They show up when they say they will, do good clean work and are very reasonably priced. I wouldn't look any where else for plumbing service. read more

Be aware that if you live in Monterey and call Alvarez Plumbing, they will charge you for the trip out and back from Salinas! Today we were charged $150 for Alvarez Plumbing to come to our property in Pacific Grove. If I had known of this policy beforehand, I would certainly have called someone else. The work seems OK but these folks are VERY expensive. read more

I needed a drain pipe cleared late on a Saturday afternoon. The service was excellent and well priced. I misunderstood the cause of the issue and thought I would require replacing a section of the drainpipe. I had a technician come back out and he told me that the repair was not necessary at this time. I am so grateful for the integrity shown that I will not use any other plumber. read more

Alvarez Plumbing provides excellent customer service. I had a quandary of a problem involving a water meter, irrigation system and well and they worked with myself and all involved contractors to get to the bottom of the problem and come up with a solution. Thank you so much and Kudos to David in the backflow department for sticking with this puzzle. read more

Many many years ago I was in Home Depot looking for a part to fix my bathroom sink, a nice man helped me find what I needed. I didn't know it at the time but he was the owner of Alvarez Plumbing. Throughout the years I've used other plumbers and have never been happy, either the job was not done well or the price was sky high. I think Alvarez Plumbing is the best in the area, and I won't go anywhere else from now on. Fast service and a reasonable price, you couldn't ask for a better plumbing company. read more
