Justin does great work at a bargain. Out of 6 different plumbers he gave us the most affordable bid and was able to start within a week. We ordered a new Noritz tankless water heater installed and he got it done in no time. He also installed a dishwasher and icemaker line with no problems. read more

This guy went out of his way to solve our water problem. Great to work with and clearly honest. I am now recommending him to all of my neighbors. read more

Justin has saved the day more than once! I've had him work at my hair salon, replace all the piping in my home, add water pipes to my in law unit and recently had him replace some leaking pipes that saved me many dollars. Justin has been there for me more than once with SOS calls. Trustworthy, funny and affordable. Thanks Justin, you're the best! read more

I am very satisfied with his service. In addition to his outstanding service, his rates are low cost. He is also an honest and friendly guy, so you will have a good experience . I highly recommend him. read more

Justin is a nice guy, fair honest, and will come back whenever you need help. He was fair and did excellent work on waterheater.

This was without doubt my best and most reasonably priced home repair experience ever, and I have owned homes since 1993. I called Aulday plumbing today at 11:30 when I arrived home to find my water heater's broken exit pipe spraying water all over the floor. They were in the area and came over within five minutes, picked up new pipes for the water heater down the street, and replaced it by 1215. $145. Plus really nice guys who made sure to keep our floor clean by shuffling to the door on a towel. [I promised not to post a picture of them doing this.] They also educated me on the cause (cheap pipe), the kind of alternative pipe solutions, and water heater quality/reliability. I will use Aulday in the future whenever I need a plumber. Pretty amazing. read more

Our water main broke over the weekend. On Monday I started calling plumbers. Justin had good "Yelps" so I tried him. He called me right back and rearranged his day to come by at 12:30. He arrived on time, quickly assessed the problem and had it fixed in two hours. His rates are fair, his service is excellent and he has a professional yet laid back style that I really like. I will use him again when I need plumbing help and definitely recommend him! read more

Justin put in a new tankless water heater for us and we are very much enjoying the new heater and the space we saved by removing the old tank heater from our kitchen. I got several estimates on this project and Justin's estimate was very reasonable. From the beginning he made clear that he was happy to put in either a tank heater or a tankless heater, so I did not feel he was after the most expensive project he could get. He was reliable, did the job quickly and efficiently, and was friendly and easy to work with. I recommend him for plumbing projects and will use him again if I need help with any plumbing.. read more

We've used Justin for about half a dozen jobs in our new house including: on-demand water heater, plumbing in new kitchen, copper re-pipe of house, new sewer connection. He does terrific work and is generally a mensch -- fun to have around, which is important when your home is being worked on. We've always received very good quotes from him and super-prompt service. read more

Excellent service! Fast and affordable! Marina Bay Richmond read more

I kindly appreciate Justin`s services this morning, 8/16/21012. He glacially came in to check my water heater whether it is up to the safety code with free estimate. I called one company prior to contact Justin. I would be charged $129 for just looking at my heater water. Then he spends the to educate me how the system works. I highly recommend Aulday Plumbing. read more

I had a problem with warm water coming out of my cold faucets. I spoke with Justin on the phone and he gave me some ideas on what to try and I was able to fix the problem myself and in the end didn't need him to come out so it didn't cost me anything except the small part I bought. It was very nice of him to take the time to help me over the phone. I really appreciated it and would definitely call him again. read more

Justin Aulday just installed all new copper pipes in our Berkeley home. We are thrilled! He was efficient, thorough, and also very amenable and funny. He also installed an on-demand heating unit. I feel so good to have this completed. It's a project we wanted to do for years. Justin has been so responsive and attentive to us, for this project and before now. He's an expert at what he does, and easy to have around for long projects. Highly recommended!! read more

Justin Aulday is great! He came out quickly, assessed our needs, and completed the work for less than he had estimated. The guy is honest to the point that I worried that he was cheating himself. Nice guy, very easy to work with. read more

found Justin from aulday plumbing on yelp last week. called him last thursday about a bathroom faucet that had no cold water coming out. he scheduled a two hour window and gave me a quote over the phone so I knew what to expect (very reasonable rate for typical in-home services). friday (9/4/09) came and he showed up on time and got right to work. i was afraid i needed to replace the faucet, but he took everything apart and tested each component, and found that there was gunk trapped in the cold water valve. it was good as new after he put everything back. he even helped me tighten the hot water faucet which was a little loose. on top of all that he was very nice to deal with. read more

Two of our rental properties had the water heaters go out on the same day! ACK! Went to Yelp, found Aulday Plumbing. Excellent service - Justin went out with a few hours of my phone call - diagnosed first day, repaired one the second day and the other had to wait until Monday for a part. The tenants that had to wait until Monday were super abusive and awful threatening to send me the doctor's bills for when they all get sick from the cold. They weren't very nice to him either but she dealt with it professionally and as quickly as he could and even offered to back me up legally should they cause me grief (e.g. - send me doctor's bills) That's certainly going to extra mile. Definitely will use him for our future lumping needs. Oh, and his prices are reasonable and there were no crazy extra charges like some places will do. Invoicing was a breeze, sent me an email, then told me I could also call with CC number and when I did he immediately send me receipt so I could add it to my accounting. Pretty darn good service. I would be more effusive and glowing for this review but I just worked a 9 bajillion hour overnight shift and my brain isn't quite working. And I don't want to forget to write the review. read more

Great plumber and really nice guy too. He made himself available on very short notice, showed up exactly on time, offered to go the store for me to get all the correct parts, and was able to finish everything up within the hour. Definitely money well spent. I would recommend him for all of your plumbing needs without the least bit of hesitation. read more

I recommend strongly recommend Aulday plumbing. We have had Justin do work three times (and now finally getting around to writing a review;-). Each time, he has shown up on time, never had any issues, and find him candid and honest (even recommending work not be done at this time). Plus he is an enjoyable person to have in your home. read more

I recently had a water heater replaced by Justin. All went very well. After discussing different water heater options (brand, size, heating source, etc) I told Justin I wanted to research each model he mentioned before making a decision. Justin quickly emailed me each model ID number and shared his opinion/experience of each model in a matter-of-fact, non-bias way which I really appreciated. A week or so later, I decided on a model and had him install it. Justin was quick and efficient while being personable and relaxed, a true expert. Oh, and the water heater works great! Since the heater replacement in November, I've hired Justin for other plumbing work needed around the house and have had the same great results. I highly recommend Aulday Plumbing! read more

Found Justine on Yelp and he was awesome. He was punctual, located & fixed the problems efficiently and cost-effectively and cleaned up after himself. His charges were fair and reasonable and totally honest. To top it all, he was warm, friendly and helpful. Almost made me wish I had more plumbing problems - almost! Folks, if you need a trustworthy and efficient plumber, Justine is THE man! read more

I called Justin on very short notice with a leaking kitchen faucet and asked for him to come out that day. He agreed to meet me right after my work finished and I found him at my house when I got there!! Luckily, the problem was small - almost embarrassingly small. Justin had it fixed in 5 minutes, showed me what to do if it happened again, and charged an extremely reasonable price considering I wasted his time. He could not have been nicer - he is now my go-to plumber read more

I recently bought a home in Kensington, and needed to find a good local plumber. I decided to give Aulday Plumbing a try, based on positive Yelp reviews. Justin Aulday has been a great resource in providing expert advice about how and which repairs and upgrades are worth doing at my home. Justin is both cost- and quality-conscious and extremely helpful in responding to the couple times I've already had immediate needs for troubleshooting-- once to determine whether there was a leak in the house; once to identify the source of a gas leak; and another time to help me (as a clueless homeowner) find out that the reason why the gas stove wasn't working was because another tradesperson had shut off the gas supply to the oven while doing foundation work. NOTE: Justin declined to charge me for his first inspection visit and for the visit to see about the oven, and although he accepted payment for the visit that determined there was no water leaking (turned out a cleaning supply bottle from the previous occupant must have leaked into a built in storage unit), he did not ask for payment: I felt it was his due. Justin's main job at my house has been to install a tankless water heater and remove the old, traditional water heater. This was done for a very competitive price, and Justin also smoothly coordinated with an electrician to arrange for the power supply to the heater. Justin is unfailingly courteous, professional, kind hearted, and confidence-inspiring. read more

Justin came over on a Saturday morning, arriving earlier than scheduled, spent time diagnosing the problem, fixed it properly, including two trips under the house and done and done well in an hour or so. Justin spent enough time testing and checking to figure out that my problem was in the $125 range, not almost $500 that the other guys quoted me. He also fixed a loose shower handle in the bargain. So a big thank you for being great to deal with and doing good work at a considerable savings. My sister, a non-Yelper, also had a great experience with Justin. So two thumbs up for Aulday Plumbing. read more

I have used Justin's services for several different plumbing issues and he always fixed the issue in a timely manner and his work was of great quality. When I built All In One Fitness THE GYM last October and needed commercial plumbing work, I had about 6 plumbers give me an estimate. Justin's estimate came in the lowest and I decided to go with his services. He built two full bathrooms with three toilets and two showers. He showed up on time and he finished all of his work within the promised time. I highly recommend Justin, we are really happy with his work. Oh yes and did I mention, he is also great when it comes to servicing his work. Jasmine B. read more

Simply fantastic. Mr. Aulday was prompt, professional, efficient and very friendly. He not only fixed what we called him for but he went above and beyond by then checking a few other items too since we had already paid for the visit. He is now our designated plumber. read more

We have used Aulday Plumbing twice now and will use them a third time if ever needed. Justin installed a new toilet the first time. This time Aaron installed a toilet in our other bathroom and he did a great job. Prompt, super friendly, & reasonably priced. We totally recommend them! read more

Just used this plumber and everyone that has written great reviews is right. Justin came out on the day specified on time and fixed our problem. Water was backing up everywhere in the house when we used the washer and kitchen sink. Everything's working great now. We have some upcoming remodeling projects and anything that has to do with plumbing will be done by this company. Thank you Aulday Plumbing!! Jesse & Aurora read more

Justin installed a new on-demand water heater for me, and moved the old one to a different house. He does good work - I like it that he cared that the pipes were straight, that the installation was clean and secure, etc.. He gave me a quote for the full job, which was competitive with others I had received. He did the work very quickly, which resulted in a pretty good per-hour pay, and made me consider a career change. read more

We had Justin come by last year to install a gas dryer for us. His rates were about half what others were asking. He arrived promptly and did all the work efficiently and cleanly. Last week, we had him install some new high-efficiency toilets - again for about half of what Home Depot wanted to charge for their installer - and our experience was just as good. read more

Justin Aulday is fantastic - he came out to oakland (doesn't only service richmond( when our old water heater broke (and I mean the bottom fell out and flooded the whole basement) he was able to come out the same day with a new water heater in tow and get it all hooked up. At the same time he took care of other plumbing issues we had with very few incremental charges (installing a toilet ring! UGG!). We have a very complicated solar water heater 2nd system and he was able to make sure it worked properly and those systems are not common. So I give him a very high rating for professionalism, skill and response time. I think his pricing is extremely fair as well. We've done a lot of construction and dealt with a lot of vendors of all types, and not everyone makes my A list! Justin does. I would recommend him for all of your plumbing needs. read more

Aulday Plumbing is quick to respond and efficient. Very fair pricing and such a great guy! Whenever I have a plumbing need, I do not hesitate to call. Very satisfied as a customer P.S. I found Aulday Plumbing by checking on Yelp.com! read more

Justin is a great guy, is super responsive, and is reasonably priced. I've had to call him for a few small repairs and he can always fit me in. I've never had any problems with his work and he recently cleaned up after a terrible job a contractor did in my kitchen. He didn't even make me feel too stupid for not knowing how to spot a shady contractor. Thank you yelp for helping me find a plumber! read more

We had recently moved into a new house and needed a hook up for our gas dryer as it was only set up for an electric dryer. I got an appointment for the next day even though there was no hurry. He came out at the appointed time, the cost was in the window of his estimate, and I was pleased with the quality of the work. He charged $105 an hour plus material. read more

Justin came promptly when scheduled and was able to quickly fix a plumbing problem that another plumber had caused. He was fast, polite and charged a reasonable rate. Most importantly, he knew what he was doing. read more

Hi, I don't usually do this, but Justin Aulday provided my family excellent service on several occasions in the last couple of months. We were in the process of closing the sale of our former house in the Kensington Hills and getting our new townhouse in shape. Justin did better than we asked, on short notice, with a very positive attitude. read more

I feel awful leaving a bad review because we really liked Justin. He is a totally cool guy but did not solve our issue. I contacted Justin because we had these little bugs and a gross smell in our bathroom. He went in our crawl space and said our toilet was leaking. So he replaced the seal and said it was fine. Fast forward a week, the bugs were getting worse as well as the smell. We contacted him and he wasn't available (no problem) and we contacted someone else. We found a plumber who was able to diagnose the issue that we had a sewer pipe that had bursted. He removed the pipe and replaced it. Underneath our house sat crap and piss that has soaking for awhile which caused the bugs and smell. The plumber we contacted was unsure how Justin missed this because this was a big issue and there was a large leak. Justin also charged us $10 for a seal when it sells for Home Depot for like $5. I feel like we wasted $110 on an issue that didn't even need fixing. We would not recommend and will not be using his services. He was a very cool guy and I do feel bad leaving this review but we feel that we were taken advantage of. read more

I was going to try a DIY toilet installation (together with my sister and roomie), but after hauling in 3 boxes (HUGE) of toilets, my sister offered to pay for the pro to install all 3. So wanting to stay on schedule, I frantically searched for a plumber to do a next day installation. Justin was nice enough to offer to put them in even though he usually doesn't work on Sundays. Justin arrived a little early than our scheduled appointment and checked all the toilets that I wanted replaced and explained to me that the wax rings included in the toilets that I bought wouldn't work. So I made a quick Home Depot run while he started to take apart the toilets. He was able to install 2 of the three toilets without incident, made it look quite easy too. The 3rd one he had to hammer the edge, so took a little bit of time. I'm perfectly happy with my new toilets. I'll recommend Justin to anyone with plumbing needs. read more

thanks, justin! you did a wonderful job! our water heater is no longer leaking. you are efficient and honest, qualities that are rare to find these days. thanks again! read more
