Return customer with Justin. I contacted him to get a water pressure / pipe hammer noise when running washing machine. He returned my call during his vacation and listened to my rants and addressed my concerns and gave me advice without trying to sell me anything or tell me that he has to come out to address my issues. It's very hard to find an upright vendor now days but I think I found one with Justin. He is not cheap but he will get the job done right the first time without trying to do anything you don't need or don't fix it right the first time to set you up for return calls. I would recommend him to my family and friends. That's the highest recommendation I can give. read more

Justin was simply amazing at the quality of work he did for us. A complicated warranty return didn't phase him and in the end he did an awesome installation. You'll get an honest (yes I said honest) estimate and quality work. Yes, we'd recommend him and his company. read more

I called Dakota Plumbing to get a second opinion on an underground gas line leak to my barbecue that runs under my patio. Justin came out and thoroughly diagnosed the system and confirmed the leak. He gave me options, and a quote that was fair. We scheduled a day, he showed up on time, with a crew ready to work. They worked diligently with a well planed strategy to bore in a new pipe. The soil was tough, but Justin persevered, and got it completed in one day as planned. Everything was put back in order and cleaned up before they left. I would recommend this company to a friend, or family member. read more

I highly recommend Justin! We had some plumbing issues and he came to inspect my home and gave me his honest opinion. I also needed my waterless tank heater serviced and he was able to accommodate as well. Reasonable fees. Thank you Justin! read more

I had a drain leaking in the wall into my kids bedroom. I went through my home warranty and they were charging me extra for the work to be done. I was working with Rewind Mold Remediation and they recommended Justin over to me to get a second opinion on the work to be done. I CAN NOT BE ANY HAPPIER! Justin was very responsive over text and was able to complete the job right away. Fair quote. Very transparent. Professional. He is someone I would call upon again if I have any issues with my plumbing. Thank you Justin! read more

SO Ridiculous EXPENSIVE!!! Had food clog in kitchen sink pipe, he claimed the pipe was leaking, and 30 minutes in and out!! And he didn't need to travel far!! $275. Total rip off!! Would not recommend, sorry! read more

A very honest and fair plumber. We highly recommend to anyone who needs any plumbing services. We have used this plumber several times and the work has been great and our problems were fixed and never recurred. You will be very happy to use Justin and know your plumbing needs will be resolved. We would give him more than five stars if that option were available. read more

We had a leak in the garage. Justin, who we've been using for years, came out immediately and accessed the situation. After finding the leak and opening the wall.... slab leak!! He suggested an entire house repipe a we've had three slab leaks previously. Justin then recommended a repipe company that he is comfortable with and they repiped the entire house the follpwing day. Without Justin's recommendation and awesome work, we'd still be without water and waiting for a repipe. Thank you!! read more

I had an urgent issue with a toilet in my home in Mission Viejo. I called a few plumbers but either couldn't get someone to give me any type of price transparency or couldnt come out soon enough. I then luckily and fortunately stumbled upon Dakota Plumbing. After our first call, they provided a time the very next day that they'd come out and provided me with price transparency right over the phone. I gladly obliged and the next morning, they were at my house. The professionalism and service was top-notch, and more superior than I even expected. I appreciate the promptness, the professionalism, and the overall experience. Their pricing is also very reasonable. Within 30 minutes, my toilet was fixed and cleaned for use. I would highly recommend Dakota Plumbing for all plumbing services. I surely will be using this company for any and all my needs, and will be recommending them to my friends and family. read more

Justin responded to an emergency under kitchen counter water leak. Water was everywhere. Quick diagnosis and repair. He had the parts on his truck, so the job was done quickly. Appreciate his professionalism and knowledge. read more

Justin was fast to respond to my Yelp request for a quote. We spoke on the phone, he was polite and easy to talk with. He understood the tasks, and gave me an estimate over the phone. He was available the next day, but I moved it out 2 days as I wasn't around. He showed up exactly on time. I showed him the work and he go to it. He was finished what I thought was quickly, cleaned up after himself and made use of the parts I had pre-purchased for the tasks. I was missing a cap, and he had one with him, perfect. The price was competitive and I'd completely use him again. I appreciate on time, clean, professional and overall just a nice guy. read more

Justin was prompt. He gave a 1 hr window for his appointment. Arrived on time and performed the work clean and like a professional. Thank you. read more

Justin is great. I had a very difficult problem where a piece of tile had slid down our shower drain from a previous remodel. It was wedged in the pipe about 6ft down the drain and caused our shower pan to back up with water whenever taking a shower. He was able to see the tile in the drain via his camera. I was fully prepared to either tear out part of a ceiling and a wall to get to it. Another option was to go through an outside wall which would require a lot of demo and repair. Justin tried various things for a couple of hours with no success. We were ready to go through the stucco wall but Justin thought about it for a bit and approached it a different way. He cut a small hole in the drywall of our little toilet room that backs up against the shower, cut into a vent pipe and went down the pipe with a big industrial size snake. He broke up that tile and flushed it out through the main drain. Problem solved. The only thing I have to repair is about a 12"x12" piece of drywall - pretty easy. He was on time, he cleaned everything up, we discussed various options and he approached the problem as if it were his own house - not wanting to cause damage to my ceilings, moulding, stucco, etc. I will definately be saving his business card - but hopefully I won't need to call him again. read more

I am in the middle of remodeling an upstairs bathroom. After removing all the old fixtures (vanity, toilet and tub), I determined that major plumbing modifications were needed. In short, a gas line, a drain vent pipe and the water lines were all encroaching into the space wheret the new shower was to be installed. I saw an ad for this merchant in the Church Bulletin, and hoping that such an affiliation would increase my chances of getting honest work, I called Dakota Plumbing, described the work needed to Justin and emailed photos to him. He would not give me a price for the job, but quoted me $135.00 per hour. My bad, but I thought that rate was for 2 people (Justin and Brandon), but only Brandon, the apprentice, showed up. The reason I called him an apprentice is because he made several cell phone calls to Justin for advise during the day. If all were completed perfectly, I probably would have let my concerns about the bill go. However, this is not the case! Ignoring the generally sloppy work that appears to be functional, there is one major issue that I uncovered. As I was getting ready to close up the walls for tiling, I doubled checked all the plumbing work and discovered that the coupling from the shower diverter to the shower head was never sealed. Not with solder, not as a sharkbite fitting or not as a propress joint. I pulled the line right out of the fitting with no effort. You can imagine the disaster that would have ensued had I not checked!! Now a quick comment on the bill As quoted, I was billed $135.00 per hour for 8 hours. Note that the 8 hours included a trip for Brandon to get more supplies and probably grab a bite to eat. This was about 1.5 hours and another 30 minutes for Brandon to write up the bill. If you could get $135.00 per hour for the standard 40 hour work week for 50 weeks a year, you would earn $270,000 .... WOW!! as an apprentice. I would also like to note that the bill included $194.00 for said supplies (about 25 fittings). My inspection of the breakdown raises some suspicion about the pricing. I will be going to Home Depot, later today to compare prices, and if warranted, I will update this report. Quick update: Plumbing supplies, as detailed on the bill, should have cost $106.02 plus tax. Justin just left after addressing all my concerns. Updated rating to 4 stars. read more

Dakota Plumbing - Work to be done. - Plumbing Near Me

I just got off the phone with Justin at Dakota Plumbing, and even though he wasn't able to make it out to us today to work with our particular emergency, he returned my call immediately and offered some very helpful suggestions. His thoughtfulness and expertise were much appreciated in a time of plumbing crisis! read more

I had Dakota Plumbing to my condo for two separate jobs. The first was to replace the pressure regulator and gate-type shutoff valve (the originals from 1983) with new fittings including a ball valve for the shutoff. I felt really bad for Brandon who had to work outside in the rain, and with several other contractors all descending on my place at once. He went right to work and about an hour and a half later, he was done. He did a great job and left no evidence of his presence other than the newly installed hardware. He didn't even complain about the rain, which was pretty heavy while he was working. I also wanted to relocate the gas pipe for my kitchen range from the high point on the wall where the original builders installed it to the correct place near the floor. Based on my first positive experience I decided to call Dakota Plumbing again. They don't do drywall repair, a fact that they CLEARLY communicated to me before they even took the job, Brandon (on a repeat visit) very carefully cut through the wall and put the pieces back in place which made the repair quick and easy. I was able to schedule both jobs in advance, and got a 100% accurate quote over the phone. Both times Brandon showed up right on time. They did ask if they could reschedule the second job due to a sudden rush of work, but that wasn't a problem because I didn't have an emergency. Dakota Plumbing is a good, ethical, and honest company that deserves their positive reputation on Yelp.I wouldn't hesitate to call them again. read more

Installed an outdoor shower for us and did a great job with the best price. Professional and job well done.

- Called ahead to let me know he was running late well before the appointment time, confirmed the time still worked for me - Friendly - Explained the problem - Didn't make a mess - $25 off for saying I found them on yelp read more

I needed something last minute and hit up a few of the local businesses on Yelp. I am the type of person who appreciates a no nonsense type of approach to goods and services... it shocks how me how even some owners who actively use sites like Yelp don't make much effort in this area. After contacting a couple businesses that just left me annoyed, Justin stood out. He was quick to respond to questions and provided the most up front information regarding pricing, scheduling, etc. The technician sent out, Brendan, was equally thorough and professional in his work, not to mention right on time. I would not hesitate to use this business again. read more

Call this company on Sunday, (no hot water) schedule an appointment for me on Monday morning. Arrived on time, very nice guy. Completed the project and all is working excellently. Will be hiring this company again. Thanks for your quick and outstanding service. read more

Dakota Plumbing was professional, prompt and FIRST class throughout. Brendan was the service technician that came out to help us and was a pleasure working with. He was in uniform, clean cut, and an expert at knowing building plumbing codes. Our work was completed in a timely manner and he was very careful to make sure no mess was left behind. I hope these before and after pictures are helpful when deciding who should take care of your plumbing needs. Dakota Plumbing will be our only call when we need a plumber - THANK YOU guys! read more

There are no hidden costs or anything and he will explain everything upfront, which is a great peace of mind for any homeowner! read more

Jason did a great job. He showed up at the appointed time and made all of the repairs that we needed. There were lots of little problems that he was able to fix in a short time for a reasonable price. read more

Brenden and Justin did a great job rerouting our pipe from a slab leak.. They have up to date technology and got our water back in one day.. would recommend them to anyone..Thanks Guys!! read more

I'm a senior and called this company thinking that I may have needed a main drain cleaned out. It turned out that I needed two new toilets. He was there 15 minutes and charged me $139 for a "service call." I asked him how much it would cost if I bought the toilets and he installed them. He said $200 each. That is about twice what I got from others. This company is a rip off in my opinion and appears to try and take advantage of the senior citizens. BEWARE!!!! read more

I was turned down for a plumbing job considered minor, i.e. costs only $350 ;) I guess the economy is booming for the plumbing industry. Shame on me for having a small water leak. read more

Excellent service, excellent quality. Dakota plumbing was the one contractor that wasn't referred to me, I found them on Yelp. I was initially nervous, that fear was dispelled the moment Brendan walked into my kitchen. None of the unexpected activities fazed him. He was pleasant, diligent, professional, clean and did an outstanding job. I have already referred him to others in my area. All my future plumbing needs will go to Dakota Plumbing. read more

We had a yard drain that was completely plugged. I called around for quotes and was blown away at how much they wanted. Called Dakota Plumbing, they gave me a reasonable quote, Justin and his crew came out the next day completely cleared our drains and charged us a very fair price. The were very professional and knew what they were doing. Would definitely recommend them. read more

AWESOME Plumber! He was in & out and gone in way under under an hour! Very reasonable [called every listed plumber & he beat them by over $100] rates....knows his stuff....very fast, clean & efficient! read more

Great plumber, have used him twice in the last 4 years, pleasant, honest, good pricing.

Justin has been doing work at my place for about 5 years now. When I run into a plumbing need, he's the guy I call! Today I had a small leak from one of the valves in the master bath. He came out fixed it and I had him replace the others here preventatively since they were all over 20 years old. He's great, his work is outstanding and his rates are extremely reasonable! I'd recommend him in a heartbeat (and have done so with family and friends!) read more

I highly recommend this company and Justin. He had a problem targeting the reason for my bathtub leak but credited me the cost of the first two visits upon fixing the problem at the third visit. On time, calls when running late and got me on their schedule fast!! When my hot water heater blew two weeks later I was grateful to have someone to call. Justin came out the same day and had a new hot water heater in stock and with him on the truck. Hot shower that afternoon. Yay!! read more

I was a bit skeptical when reading the glowing reviews for Justin. I thought he would be a smooth talker, and that I would be able to cut thru his BS in seconds. Well I was wrong. I asked him to bid on a re-pipe job, and he told me straight out that I should seek one of the specialized re-pipe companies as they are priced much better than what he would give me and they do this day in day out. He even threw in a couple of names for me to contact. read more

Guy seemed diligent, honest, worked hard to clear my sink drain then a back yard drain full of roots. Was well worth the service!

I emailed Dakota plumbing with 2 photos and requested a quote. Justin responded quickly with a quote and availability over the next few days. Brandon arrived within the window they gave me and did a quick and thorough job. He cleaned up after himself and was polite and professional. I used the Yelp deal of $50 for $100 voucher. I didn't compare prices with other plumbers but was happy with Dakota Plumbing. As a realtor, I collected some of their business cards and will happily refer them. ~ Sunny with Sunshine Homes in Portola Hills. read more

Justin was prompt and professional. He put in a washer outlet box and modified a water heater overflow pipe in an hour and a half--at a reasonable price considering the quality of the work performed. I will ask him to come out again when I remodel my bathrooms. read more

Great plumber! Justin and his assistant were on time and professional. He made sure the blockage was completely cleared using his camera (with my permission). I saw with my own eyes the blockage had moved (but was still there) and there were roots also. The blockage and roots are now history. Before they left the work area was cleaner than when they arrived. My kind of professionals! Justin is now my go to guy for plumbing! read more
