Best plumbers in Oakland!…read more I had a low water pressure problem in my kitchen and an issue with my dishwasher. I couldn't tell if the problem was the plumbing or if I needed a new dishwasher. Enter Oakland Rooter & Plumbing. Jose, the plumber that came to service my kitchen plumbing, was kind, professional and very skillful. He explained how he was diagnosing the situation and the process of elimination he was going through to get to the bottom of the issue. I especially appreciated that as a woman that loves learning about how things work. Jose answered all my questions and had some great analogies to explain the plumbing situation. I also appreciated that there was no upselling. Jose was clear about the tiers of support and associated costs and was honest about his recommendations and what would help. In the end, my plumbing issues were resolved at a reasonable price. I felt like I got five star service AND I learned a bit about how my kitchen plumbing works. Great service all around!

After getting a very high quote from a major plumbing chain, we decided to contact Water Heater…read moreMasters. We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Water Heater Masters. Alex sent our technician, Rojo, who helped install a new 40-gallon gas water heater in our indoor utility closet, and he was incredibly diligent, professional, and efficient from start to finish. Installing a tank in an inside closet can be tricky, but Rojo handled the entire job seamlessly in just 2 hours. He replaced everything with high-quality components, including: * New hot and cold water flex lines * A brand new water shut-off valve * A new gas flex line and sediment trap * Fully reworked earthquake straps (to meet California safety codes) * Properly updated T&P line and venting He also took care of the removal and disposal of our heavy 18 yr old tank, leaving the utility closet completely clean. If you want fair pricing, expert specialized service, and a technician who respects your time and home, call Water Heater Masters and ask for Rojo. Highly recommended!

We were replacing a gas water heater with a hybrid electric heat pump water heater. Generally, this…read moretype of heater costs twice as much (price and installation) as a traditional electric water heater, but costs a lot less to run (and therefore you recoup the additional cost in a few years from lower operating costs). I had a very easy experience getting an on-site quote. I received 3 quotes for this job. 2 quotes, including this one, came in around $7100. I went with a third one at around $6700 (which included an additional mixing valve) and am very happy with my decision. Overall price was not a big part of my decision, but brand of water heater was. After doing some research online, the most recommended brands are AO Smith and Rheem (GE). Both higher quotes were for Navien, which has only been making heat pump water heaters for 1 year, but I was told that it is the most reliable brand. I did not understand how this claim could be made, given how short the duration of evaluation for this product. Even the worst appliances usually work for at least a year. So I requested a quote for AO Smith or Rheem, which I did not get. I'm not sure why my brand request was not honored, but it made me question whether I should go with a company that either has communication issues or maybe some type of deal with Navien that I was not informed about. Many water heater installers are preferred installers of certain brands, which means they can get better pricing, etc. I did not want to be a guinea pig for Navien.

A great reliable neighbor is hard to come by so when I moved into my new place and broke my sink, I knew I could reach out to Ed! He immediately looked into his resources for the best option for my exact model of a sink, and put me on his calendar right away. I also told him there may be something wrong with my garbage disposal, which she brought over one in case before checking it out. When he arrived right on time, he carried my brand new sink up to the 3rd floor, and spent no more than an hour installing my new sink. This includes cleaning up everything! He even got rid of my old broken one! I'm so glad he brought me a new garbage disposal because it was time that I needed a replacement. That mean I was able to get 2 jobs done in one visit instead of having him come back. Everything went smoothly, and so much of my stressed was lifted, and you really can't put a price tag on that. I've always appreciated you, Ed! Thank yo so much!!!!
