Sorry I can not longer modify my previous review. New news: after agreeing to a proposed solution to the ' no show' issue, we rescheduled the service. The guys showed up on time on a holiday (July 4 th). To make a long story short, the initial estimate proved to be low-balled and the amount of labor and materials would probably be way higher. We mutually agreed that the risk of that required more thought. So we cancelled the work order. The response of everyone at Commando was very professional. I would now tend to recommend them. Sometime it takes a problem and its resolution to judge a company. read more

Mario was great! Used Commando for hydro-jetting. Came to give me a free quote, showed up on time. Competitive quote. Came to do the work, showed up on time. He went above and beyond on the work, as neither of us realized how dirty the piped were. Will definitely call them again. read more

They replaced the angle valve and kitchen faucet. They also replaced the copper waterline for the ice maker. Clean work

Our main drainage pipe was blocked, causing both toilets and both showers to back up. I called Commando plumbing and they were able to respond right away to my emergency. The techs arrived and quickly identified the problem. Since my house did not have an access point to the drain, they removed the toilet and accessed the pipes through the roof. Regardless, they got the job done in good time, resealed the toilet and tested everything. The price was reasonable for the effort needed and they quoted me accurately before starting any work. I will use these plumbers again. read more

They are everything you can ask for when in need of a contractor. We definitely had a good enjoyable experience working with them. They prioritize your need even if it means less money for them, the team is also reliable, responsible, responsive and so considerate about your situation. Good job guys! Thanks, Victor & Tom :) read more

I purchased one of those fancy Toto Washlet bidet toilet seats from Amazon, hoping that it would be a breeze to install it myself on my existing Toto toilet. But when I got it, I realized I had to unscrew the water line from the tank to attach the T-valve that supplies water to the Toto Washlet seat. Unfortunately, the design of the Toto toilet has the attachment point way up in the back of the tank and I could barely get my hands to reach up there, much less unscrew it. So my options were to either return it back to Amazon and call it a day, or to get some professional help, as I suspect this might require removing the entire toilet from the ground to get the hose to unscrew. I decided to give Commando Plumbing a go based on the nice reviews and the proximity late on Wednesday night - I was surprised that a few seconds after I submitted my strange inquiry that someone called me from Commando Plumbing - it was Sam, the owner! He was familiar with the problem and said he'd be able to get someone out there the following morning! Come the next morning, Michael showed up (very courteous and attentive) and sure enough, figured out the only way to do this was to remove the entire basin. I was fine with the quote he gave, and 30-40 mins later (while I was still on my work call), he'd finished - not just removing it, but installing the Toto Washlet seat with everything all wired up and tested! Everything was clean and spotless as well, and couldn't tell that we did any work on it. Now my wife are enjoying warm butts while having our bottoms cleaned! I would definitely have Commando plumbing on my quick-dial moving forwards for future plumbing needs - I think have may have a few more projects coming down the pipe! read more

Victor has installed a Flo smart water device, both in my current home as well as my previous home. He did a wonderful job -- cleanly adding a extension to the water pipes. He's responsive, professional, and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely do not use. They replaced a shower valve in an Apt building my family owns , 4 hour job for 1 man , almost a $2,000 bill , amazing . They did not have or give any sort of estimate. I thought them to be trustworthy as they had replaced a water heater at my home 2 weeks before at a fixed price . Unfortunately we live in an up-scale neighborhood and my guess is they figured I would pay anything because of where we live. read more

We had an emergency situation in our home where none of the toilets were flushing. Victor agreed to come in early morning the next day which was a Saturday. He quickly assessed that we had a major blockage in the drains going out of the house and that we would need to install a cleanout as part of fixing it as our house did not have a cleanout. He and his crew were able to fix the whole thing within a few hours - This work included cutting through concrete to get to the pipes, installing the cleanout, unclogging the drain and pouring new concrete back. After that, we had Victor come over again to fix a few more things in the house and were once again very happy with the quality and speed of his work. Victor is very detailed in his work and knows how to get any type of plumbing work done quickly and efficiently. I would strongly recommend him. read more

My 18-year old hot water heat broken on a Thursday night. The next morning Victor called me with a fair price to replace it. That afternoon Abraham and Christian came out and replaced it. Arrived on time, very polite, very professional job. They delivered just as promised. Will definitely use them again. read more

Simply the best quality at the most fair price. Leo and Victor are the best: I have been taken to the cleaners by 3 other plumbing companies and I finally found an honest fair company. I can't recommend them enough and if you have plumbing issues, water or gas, I recommend Commando Plumbing with the highest marks. read more

Our second toilet clogged at around 6pm and we called multiple other "24 hour" plumbing companies and all gave us a really hard time and either wanted to go the next day, told us to all use the one working toilet (there are 5 of us in the house + one Air BnB guest), or said that because it was after 5 pm that it would be around $480 - $600 which is too expensive. Commando was so nice and I spoke to Victor. We got his cell number and he was at our house in less than 15 minutes. He unclogged our toilet in less than 5 minutes and it costed only $225.00 I recommend this company highly read more

The installation of our new subzero fridge (not by Box Appliance) left us with a problem -- the dispenser delivered ice but no water. A previous Box Appliance customer recommended them to me. I called on a Friday and they solved my problem on the following Monday. For the appointment at my house, Steven showed up 6 minutes after the start of the appointment window (wow) and fixed the problem within minutes. Since the fridge was in warranty, the appointment was free. Steven was among the best service personnel I have ever encountered and he provided helpful info regarding care and maintenance going forward. Prompt, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable -- he was all of these. These guys get an A+ all the way. read more

Victor and his team did a fantastic job! They got back to my message on Yelp immediately and called and set up a time to review the jobs we needed done. He gave really easy to understand explanations of our options and got back to us with a quote very quickly. He arrived at the exact time we set up each time and was extremely professional. We need a new water heater, down spout and insinkerator. The work they did was to a very high standard and he even helped us understand the maintenance needed. If you're looking for an knowledgeable, skilled and trustworthy plumbing service, look no further! read more

I was lucky to be able to schedule a same-day appointment with Victor to fix a clogged sewer line. Victor's team did a excellent job, below is the timeline: 4:42pm: Quote sent via Yelp 4:45pm: Response received 4:52pm: Same day service scheduled and confirmed 5:20pm: 1st staff arrived 5:30pm: 2nd staff & Victor arrived 6:00pm: Problem fixed Highly recommend. read more

This was the 2nd time I've used Commando for my place's plumbing repairs. Victor is a very conscientious and honest person and his work is well done. Scheduling was convenient and the work was done efficiently read more

Mario was super helpful and listed the various ways we can go about resolving my sewage issue. Gave a great experience and deal. Will definitely use them again especially when I decide to install the cleanout system. read more

Yes. Thanks They are fantastic--An incredibly professional bilingual team, efficient courteous all you can ask for really sympathetic and really should be the go to team for the Bay Area. Plus the company supports disabled veterans and my heart is with that effort as well since I was in Vietnam in 1967 to 68 and from 1972 to 1974 I am very interested to learn more about Commando Plumbing and their Efforts with disabled veterans. Thanks for asking read more

I had requested a quote for this problem: "Toilet base is leaking and standing water in shower. Toilet previously plugged on Monday." And I received a quote for $245-270. However, after servicing the toilet clog, Victor said it would cost another $263 to replace the toilet wax ring to seal the leak. Very unfortunate and disappointing. I would advise potential customers to reclarify the problem(s) and estimate before the work actually begins. read more

All I want for Christmas is a clean sewer line! HUGE SHOUT OUT to Mario and his team who literally saved Christmas for my family this year by unclogging our sewer. Not only coming out on Xmas Eve to free my home of backed-up sewage, but who also did so affordably and timely. THANK YOU, Mario! I will refer you to my clients as well. Kathleen read more

Victor and Juan came out the same day to repair a gas leak and were absolutely amazing!!! I called someone else first... and that company said I needed an entirely new gas line... instead, these guys spent the time to find and fix the problem saving me thousands in unnecessary repairs. They'll be my first call for any plumbing needs in the future. Make them your first call too! read more

We've used Commando Plumbing for several issues over the past few years. They've been excellent. We had a leak under our kitchen sink last night, and called them up this morning. Leo came out promptly to diagnose the problem. He clearly communicated the issue and several possibly solutions. After picking one, he got it finished quickly, and also went under the house to make sure that we didn't have any additional water damage. I was extremely pleased with the service, and while I really hope we don't have another plumbing emergency any time soon, if we do, we'll be calling Commando. read more

Alex from Commando plumbing was wonderful! He arrived right on time and his visit was quick and helpful. He solved our main problem in the kitchen within a matter of minutes, and was able to give guidance on next steps for a separate irrigation issue in our back yard as well. Very professional and efficient. Highly recommend! :) read more

I called Commando Plumbing last year for a quote on connecting bathroom downspout to the main pipe. Victor came and went to inspect the crawlspace. I wanted to say thanks to Sam for helping me deal with a dead rat in the crawlspace! A few months later, my toilet got jammed up and disposal stopped working. I called Commando Plumbing and they were very prompt in replying. They came and fixed everything. They were very clean in finishing up too! Would hire them again! Highly recommended! read more

Super friendly and professional. My tank less water heater stopped working. Victor figured out quickly what it was and explained the issue. He had the replacement parts in hand. Changed the parts and all worked fine. He also descaled the water heater. The price was very reasonable. Way better than other places trying to tell me that my heater needed a complete replacement on the phone. Highly recommended and will definitely use them again. Thanks! read more

They came on a Sunday, price was reasonable, they did a great job!

I read about Victor on Nextdoor and decided to reachout to have him, first come out and look at the job. After reviewing the job, he came up with a very fair quote and upon arriving to the job, he encountered a small road block and he took it up as a challenge to solve and solved it! Very professional individual and would highly recommend him. read more

I am really happy with Commando plumbing and would recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent plumber! I had a bad leak under my sink and unfortunately discovered it on the weekend. I kept scrolling through Yelp and trying to find someone who could come out immediately and fix it. Victor came to the rescue! He was there within a few hours and immediately figured out what the problem was. Yet he did not stop there...he asked about other water issues in my house and took a look at my water heater, where he discovered that the last plumbers who installed it had not properly vented the gas out of the house. Without him, I would still be breathing carbon monoxide in my house! He came back a few days later to fix that problem. It was a bit more expensive than I thought, but he gave me a small discount for which I was grateful. I was surprised reading other comments here that he is not responsive...he responded within hours whenever I texted him and always followed up. I think he is totally reliable and what is better is how proactive he was. I can't thank him enough for discovering my water heater problem...totally thorough and professional. Thank you, Victor! read more

They never got back to me with quote for the job. Very disappointed. Atleast message about not being able to provide the cost.

We had an ongoing problem with our kitchen sink which got clogged all the time. We called Commando Plumbing and they sent Alex to give us an estimate. He went into the crawl space and found that there was a bigger problem with our pipes being old and leaking. Through my conversation with him, I found him very knowledgeable and experienced. He was able to explain the root cause to me and also answer all my questions with great patience. I trusted him right away. Since this became a much bigger project, we also called a few more plumbers, all highly rated by yelp. However, they were either being pushy, or sent someone rookie, or quoted a much higher price . We eventually decided to go with Commando Plumbing. On the day of the project, Alex and his team arrived on time. They worked on the pipes the whole morning and fixed the problem. My kitchen sink now works great and I have brand new pipes. Definitely a high five to Alex and his team. Thank you, Alex! You'll be my go-to person in the future. read more

They were on time , work was excellent and did a great job of cleaning up. Competitive price highly recommended.

I agree with the rest of the reviews. Victor is great! Honest, fast, won't rip you off (did I mention honest?), and is available for same day fixes. I originally called for a quote for a busted garbage disposal and clogged drain - he came out to look at it same day, and what he quoted was so reasonable I didn't even bother to clear it with my landlord. He was able to fix it then and there - in all of 15 minutes (maybe less) problem was solved. Oh, and he takes credit cards. Will absolutely call Commando first when my next plumbing emergency strikes. Thanks Victor! read more

The people at Commando Plumbing were very responsive and was available the same day. They identified the issue with the disposal right away and made the small adjustment to fix it. They also identified the problem with the leaking faucet, but did not have the parts on hand to fix it. The call out fee was reasonable and payment was very smooth. read more

Leo was Amazing! We had a problem with our garbage disposal and he was able to come by and give a free assessment as for what was going wrong. He was very professional wearing booties and a face-mask. Would definitely recommend. read more

Mario just made my day. He came on time. Fixed my problem quickly and took the best approach. I would highlu recommend them!

I've had three different plumbing companies "fix" the plumbing under my kitchen sink. In one case the pipe fell off after a "fix." The pipe began leaking and Victor at Commando explained how the configuration was forcing water to flow upwards before it went down. He said best to access the main water-flow-away pipe by cutting into my bathroom wall behind the kitchen sink and reconfiguring the pipes so water would drain down and away instead of having to loop upwards and away. It made sense to me. Victor fixed the pipe configuration, showed what he did and how it worked. He called a drywall guy who came at the end of the day and patched up the bathroom wall so you couldn't even tell it had been cut into. Victor was professional, polite. I'd call him a logical plumber, and I'm happy he works in the Redwood City area. read more

Amazing service! Michael provide a quick quote and wonderful advice. I was so lucky he had an available time slot on a Saturday. He was a great communicator and arrived exactly when he said he would. He dawned perfect Covid protection and got right to work. Within the hour I had a brand new garage disposal installed. He will definitely be my first call next time I need any plumbing work. Thanks again! read more

I called Commando around 1pm with a bad water heater. Other places had told me they could replace it the next day or the day after that. Leo showed up within an hour, called around for a replacement, and installed it that evening. The installation looks really good, and the area was clean when he finished. His price was at the lower end of the ranges that people had quoted me. I am very happy with the result! read more

I received a quote from Victor by email the day after I my email request. Mario from Commando arrived on time today. He was very friendly and professional. After listening to my need of having my 2 sewer clean outs to prevent backups (I had a bad one 3 years ago), he suggested a better and cheaper way of achieving it. He also recommended to use a camera to inspect the pipe. He finished in a short time. At the end, I the pipe was cleaned and I learned the condition of the sewer pipe for less money than I had originally estimated. I will call them back again! read more

They did an incredible job at a reasonable price! We had a broken offset mainline under the house with a very tight crawl space. The estimate seemed reasonable so we said go ahead. Commando showed up with three people and all the tools and material to reconstruct a day lighted main under the house, and dig a deep hole to connect to the old main past the break. They worked hard all day and finished early evening. Recently I crawled (slithered) under the house to run an Ethernet cable and was astonished at the amount of work they did. Real professional work. Highly recommend this contractor. read more
