Crown Plumbing has worked on my house several times doing everything from replacing the sewer line to reinstalling my water softener to help track down a dead rat. They're always on time, courteous, knowledgeable, and the workspace is always clean afterward. All repairs are done correctly the first time and the price is always reasonable. This is who you need to call. read more

The plumbers were A+ in all they did, which was a major repiping of the whole house, including ceilings, walls, floors, outside, and crawl space. It took about 6 weeks total. The crew knew their jobs, were prompt, kind, and careful to cleanup each day. Then two drywall people came who were not as capable. Then I had a good painter. Last, the plumbers fixed problems the drywall people created and carefully moved all the furniture back to their proper places. I strongly recommend this group. They were terrific. read more

I was at my moms house yesterday for the plumber to show up. She hired Crown Plumbing to move the valve in the kitchen from the sink area to behind the fridge. I was in charge ensuring the problem was solved. Pros: - The guy knew what he was doing - He was quick, in and out 15 mins - He was punctual. Very punctual! Cons: - They charged me $1,534 when the total was $337 The people on the phone aren't friendly... very direct and treat you as if you owe them something. There's dozens of 4-5 star plumbing services in the bay area. They should be very kind and thankful to customers, especially first time ones as we'd recommend them going forward. More details on the overcharging: Called to pay yesterday on the phone and no "thanks for your service" or anything like that, I said thanks, have a nice night. Just awkward. "Name?" "Address?" "Card #?" "Bye" Come to find out this AM, I was overcharged $1,100+ dollars! That's a lot. Luckily I had money in that particular account and didn't face any bank fees if I was overdrawn etc. I got refunded promptly but again, just awkward. Don't think it was the same lady from the night before. I'd prob give a 2 if the plumber wasn't awesome, but he was. read more

Thank you Abram I had called 2 companies prior to crown plumbing. First one replaced a water pressure regulator, second one couldn't figure out the problem and charged me for showing up. Abram was able to figure out the issue and take care of it right away. Thanks again Abram read more

It's been impossible for me to find a plumber I could afford and trust. Two very important things for me when deciding who to let into my home and my business. Crown Plumbing was referred to me by a friend of mine also in the restaurant business. I've called them for door repairs, leaking toilets, clogged toilets, calcium buildup, and full toilet replacements. I appreciate every aspect of their business from start to finish. The service calls are seamless, the plumbers are knowledgeable, safe and friendly, and the payments/invoices are effortless. You'll get a text when they are on their way and after the work is done, you get a text message explaining everything in detail; parts, labor, and services completed. AND-the price is always less than the number I've worked out in my head. When have you ever hired someone and the price is less than what you thought? I've used their service more than 5 times now and I will never go back to their competitors. read more

Crown Plumbing was very professional and prompt when fixing my sink. The price was fair and the service was top notch. I have used them many times and every time they fixed my issues and didn't recommend anything I didn't need. read more

We had them do a mid-5 figure $ emergency plumbing upgrade because our sewer lines were in danger of failing. What they said would be a week's job turned into a monthlong ordeal. They were uncommunicative and unreliable. We never knew when they were coming or, more often, when they weren't. After finally completing the work, they neglected to turn our sprinkler system back on. Due to the heavy rains this winter we didn't notice for months until the warm weather returned. Now we are having to deal with dead or dying lawns and plants because of their carelessness. Avoid read more

We had a pipe break in the wall and I started by calling Crown Plumbing. Victor came out and look at the situation and realized that we needed remediation. I ended up going with All Action Remediation (amazing people BTW) and afterwards called Crown Plumbing again after remediating the mold and water damage. The second visit was by Sal. He came, looked at the broken pipe and just gave me this look like he's seen this a million times. I told him that insurance didn't cover the job as it was an old problem and he just knew what to do. Sal said he needed some parts and left only to return in about 15 minutes. He just told me that he knew what to do and that I could return to doing my work (remote work). After about 25 minutes, he calls me down and everything is fixed! Great guy, knows his stuff and I have no doubt that pipe he fixed will last longer than the house. Thanks again Sal, for the no BS good work attitude! We all just want to get on with it and you made it seamless, You da man. read more

Crown has performed a few jobs for me, both big and small. They are not the cheapest, but also not unreasonably priced as they seem to pay their staff fairly. Each person I've had come out has been very prompt, makes a concerted effort to diagnose the problem, and does not perform work without being absolutely sure. I support anyone getting a range of quotes, but this company has been trustworthy in my experience and does not put undue pressure on me as a customer. read more

From the text letting me know when and who was coming, validated that I made a good selection of a company. Their employee showed up at the stated time. Slipped on protective booties which I am sure is normal given the profession. However, it's the small details that count. He asked several clarifying questions and started to work. I wasn't watching the clock, so perhaps 30 minutes. He came back over, showed me the work, and gave me some additional information on the dual flush toilet we have. I also asked him additional questions that weren't related to the initial call for service. He answered them all and was the right balance of professional and personable. I now have found my go-to vendor for any future plumbing issues. read more

Hope others had a better experience. We couldn't get the pilot light on following instructions. So Crown came out and "tried" starting the pilot for 5 seconds NOT following the directions and then told us we needed a new heater for about $3500. It cost us $227 just to look at it and tell us that. I then called ANOTHER plumber who knows Whirlpool heaters (A). He came and looked at it and just hit a simple reset both I and Crown overlooked. He didn't even ask for money, but we paid him anyway. read more

I am one happy camper tonight. I called this company around 3 pm to do a couple of simple jobs. They had Luis Perez out here at 4:30. He quickly did what I asked him to, and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. He did a great job. Thanks, Luis! read more

Excellent Knowledgeable plumbing techs that know their trade. Prompt and professional too.

Had a great experience with Crown Plumbing for an entire re-pipe of our house. They communicated extremely well, gave us a fair price, and stuck to a real timeline. We then realized that our sewer line was leaking and the pipes were in major need of repair. They also completed that job in a timely manner with a fair price. Very happy with our service! read more

Sal is great! Explains the process. He is on time. Very tidy. Second time I've used Crown plumbing and I'll use them again.

We called Crown when we discovered a leak on our ceiling and they were able to come over within 30 minutes. Unbelievably fast and efficient. I saved their information and will definitely call them again. So awesome! Thank you! read more

I requested Crown Plumbing to install a faucet I had purchased. They responded at exactly the agreed upon time. The gentleman showed respect for my home. He went to work immediately and completed the job flawlessly in a short amount of time. read more

Needed replacement garbage disposal installed. Moses was very professional and organized. Installation was quick and felt price was fair. Would call company again!! read more

Updated - (changed to 3 star) - Got a call from owner who apologized and explained this is not usual and returned visit fee. Also offered to send some other technician and give discount if we wanted to continue work. Original - Very expensive, unfriendly. We called them for leak under the kitchen sink. He was prompt but not helpful at all. Even found him arrogant to talk. Even though, we had planned to fix couple of things he mentioned, we just did not feel comfortable for him to do our work. I have feeling they like to do big jobs and not small home repairs. It would be good if they just said that. read more

My Repipe quote for 4 bed, 2 full bath, 2000 sq ft home was a whooping $20,000. That was 8,000 above Repipe Specialist and Advanced Repipe Specialist (both $12,000). I called to discuss the quote and offer an opportunity to adjust the quote but the service rep said it's not worth our time. James Arguelles 5853 Cohasset Way, San Jose CA 95123. Be very careful as it's clear they are price gauging in tough economy. Good luck against competitors at those rates. 1.18.21 Update - Owner called me after the post and offered an apology for the poor experience. I accepted his apology. He explained his reasons they are $8000 more than the quotes from Repipe Specialist and Advanced Repipe Specialist. The cost per hour for his workers is more than competitors and his tools are better. That said the reality is from a customer standpoint the two competitor companies have good reviews and quoted the same job. I have since selected Repipe Specialist who outsource to a local outfit and the experience has been good. In my opinon it will be hard for diligent customers to agree to pay a cost nearly 2x for the same work due to a business model with higher overhead. The silver lining here is the owner did call me back and explained his reasons. I will let the Yelp customers agree or disagree if they want to pay the additional cost passed on by the owner. I opted out. Honesty does count for something and I wish the owner and his company good luck. read more

We had a broken pipe late in the day and all I wanted was a shower. I called, and a plumber was out here very quickly. Fernando got me a quote and finished the job quickly and thoroughly. Thankfull, it wasn't very long before I got my shower. I would recommend Crown Plumbing. read more

After getting several quotes to install a new water heater, we chose to go with Crown Plumbing. We trusted them to choose a reliable water heater model for us and install it. Unfortunately, we've since learned that they were not deserving of our trust on this. They chose to install a faulty model (that other plumbers have since told us is of well-known poor quality) that has failed on us twice in the 14 months since install. Both times that we've called on them to repair it for us, they've tried to claim that they never installed it (despite us having the receipt to prove that they did), have treated us rudely and with disrespect (telling us they'd call back and never doing so, failing to admit any failure on their part in this entire situation, expressing no sympathy for or helpfulness regarding the situation), and, this second time, charged us an exorbitant fee for labor to repair the problem (a few minutes of time at a crazy price for that time) after us spending three days without hot water. We feel saddled now with a faulty water heater and no recourse to help us resolve the problem. Will likely end up having to re-do the entire replacement within the next year, simply because we trusted this business to be experts in their field. Will never use their services again and highly recommend that if you are looking for a new plumber, you avoid this business and look elsewhere. read more

I had to call a few times to get a quote (they said someone would call me back but they never did) and when I finally talked to someone to explain my issue, they were 3x the price of the next highest quote. It's a shame because I live like two blocks away. Someone from another company came out and did a great job for 1/3 the price. read more

Bid to install a new water heater $1400. Seriously??? That's the installation price does not include the heater

They showed up within 1 hour and resolved the leak Overall was quick and professional. Was not cheap but did the job read more

I've noticed some plumbing issues in the past - such as pipes rattling when water dispenses from the refrigerator. I called Crown Plumbing and they were able to schedule an appointment. Shane came out and installed a water hammer arrester. He also noticed that the street water main to my home had a water pressure of 100. This should normally be at or below 60, per Shane. This was repaired and now the water pressure is contained - hopefully preventing any damage to the water pipes. Pros: 1. Quick response 2. Efficient and knowledgeable staff 3. Automated reminders and updates - such as tech arrival time/en route, and invoice billing 4. Quality work 5. Covid responsible - wearing protective gear Cons: None read more

Crown Plumbing - Water arrester install. Shane even secured the pipe at the bottom so it wouldn't rattle as much. - Plumbing Near Me - San Jose, California

Good customer service over the phone. Estimate/inspection was done the next mid morning (I called after 4pm the day before). Shane (the person that came out to look at the issue(s) was professional. He listened to my concerns, evaluated the situation and I did not feel any kind of pressure for him or the company to complete any kind of work. He was honest and upfront. He was able to give me the quote within minutes. Upon deciding to proceed, he immediately contacted the office to coordinate the work with our kitchen demo. I'll update once the work is completed. I recommend! read more

Luis Perez and his crew did a fine job of locating a break in our kitchen sewer pipe and replacing it. Very pleased with their service and the quality of their work. read more

Needed the garbage disposal replaced. Called Crown Friday afternoon around 1pm. They were able to get me a same day appointment with Louis. The garbage disposal replacement went fine and Louis was fast and efficient. He came around 3pm and was done by around 4pm. I recommend Crown and I'll be using them again. read more

Victor came and immediately fixed my kitchen faucet problem. He was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I was a returning customer and would definitely call them again. Annette Snyder read more

Very professional business, they were able to set an appointment for when we needed the work completed. They showed up promptly at the agreed appointment time (texting a notification that they were on their way first) started immediately with the work and completed the job very quickly with high quality workmanship. All this at a very competitive price. Would highly recommend Crown Plumbing for all your plumbing needs! read more

Pretty straight forward problem. We had a slow leak in our upstairs bathroom. I called a few plumbers and Crown was able to get someone to my house the soonest so I went with Crown. The plumber that came to my house, Moises, was really helpful and walked me through the process and what to expect. They also connected me with other subs to deal with everything. We still called for other quotes. I recommend Crown Plumbing after this experience. read more

Mike was a pleasure. He showed up within the prescheduled window. He wore a mask the whole time and put shoe covers on before coming into the house. He was friendly, and easy going, yet professional. Mike identified the problem in minutes and replaced the broken part. He helped me figure out another small problem with my other shower drain. I am not sure if they are competitive compared to other reputable plumbers, but I didn't want to search around too much. I went off reviews on Yelp and another site and I am very happy I found them. I will definitely use them again - I just hope I don't have to for a while. I would share photos, but you'd just seem a finished result and a shower that needs a deep clean. So I'll spare you. read more

Crown had the best reviews so we called them to come unclog our toilet. For $375 each sink (2) I choose to check around & was so glad I came across a very reasonable place. I would not call them again, couldn't even do it that day to fix our sink as advertised. Hubby & My opinion only. read more

Our kitchen sink was stopped up. Called Crown Plumbing and Michael was on his way. Looked over problem and undid a pipe and ran the snake. The plugged sink was unplugged very quickly. Nice fellow. Friendly and we would for sure call Crown Plumbing and request Michael. Thanks Michael read more

Overpriced and would not recommend. Here is my experience: Had them come out to snake a slow moving drain through the back clean-out around a year ago ($275). They said it didn't look like roots or other items, just a regular clog. 4-5 months later water slows again, bring them out another time. I asked them when scheduling to do more diagnostics to see if its roots, etc. Guy was supposed to call when he came by to discuss what he is seeing. He just showed up, snaked, & left without calling. I am the owner and dont live in the area. I just get a text that job is done now pay $275 again. 6 or so months after that, slow drain again. I say I want a camera/diagnostics to see what is going on. They say they have to hydrojet the line first and then will camera, which is $750. Seems expensive but say fine. They show up and say there is something wrong with my cleanout and I need a new cleanout, which is an additional $1,400. Total is now $2,050. In a timing bind so I go along with it. They start digging out the cleanout area, etc. Later after the job is done they call and say that a new cleanout wasnt needed, once they dug it out (maybe 3x4x2 ft hole) they could figure out how to get the pressure hose in. I would just need to pay for the 1 hr of digging. Seemed reasonable at first glance. End result: dug around the back cleanout that was only 2 ft deep, hydroflushed the line, camera'd. Price $750 + $450 to dig the hole (and not filling it back in), so $1,200. Pretty steap for digging a hole. This is all on security cameras and was for 3 hours worth of work, including setup & cleanup. Their day also included a 2.25 hr lunch, another hour where they packed up and left then came back, etc. Then their assessment was that my main sewer line is bad and needs replacement. They give me a quote for that which was $18,000. Complained about the $1,200 and they said too bad, workers were there for 6 hrs. Maybe they didnt think I could see that only half that was actually working? So $400 per hour, including digging a hole. Afterwards got work done from other licensed, insured, 5st yelp plumbers and did the following: - replace sewer main for $6k including permits (Crown quote $18k) - replace/improve back cleanout for $400. (Crown quote $1,400) - Hydrojetting quoted at two other places for $300-$400. (Crown $750). read more

I had a water leak in a copper pipe under the house, the location very difficult to access. My original call was late on the afternoon and Manny, Crown plumber, showed up before 10 the next morning. Assessed the leak, proposed the repair and did the repair within an hour and a half. The bill was a bit higher than I anticipated and I talked to the office. The owner listened to my concern and did make a change in the cost after hearing what part of the repair I had done. Highly recommend Crown. read more

I think this is going to be my go to plumber from now on. I used to use a licensed plumber that had his own business, but really was a 2-3 man shop, so quality was great but response slow. In those cases, I'd always go to larger 'franchise' plumbers and they were ok. I tried Crown and as a bigger plumber shop, they are super responsive and the quality of the work and the professionalism of the person they sent was great! Easily could tell that his skill and knowledge was higher than some of the other bigger plumbing companies out there. They were great! read more

My kitchen faucet began to leak. Luis from Crown Plumbing correctlly diagnosed the problem, told me I needed to obtain a part from the manufacturer, and then returned to complete the job after I received the part. He was on time and worked quickly each visit. I have used Crown several times before and they were always competent and cost-effective. John F., San Jose read more

I don't want to give two stars because the guy who showed up, Manny, was very nice and professional. We suspected there might be a leak in the bathroom and Manny took a look and told us there's not which was a great news. What I'm not happy with was the office didn't mention clearly that there's a $227 fee upfront. I guess I would still go with them but it would be nice to know upfront. -----------update------------------- The owner gave me a call and we agreed it was a misunderstanding. I got refunded. Will consider another try in the future for plumbing issues. read more
