    Zero stars for a response to an issue found. Work done in 2023 at our house resulted in a cut wire that required $132 fix and urine left in a bottle under the house. Still have not received the confirmed reimbursement form over a month ago or a response to several emails since then.

    This is the condition Elite left the job site, never to return back and complete the leveling, texturing and painting.

    3 stars - Meh...OK. The work was to fix the leaking shower head in the bathroom. I was offered 2 quotes. 1] To diagnose the problem and try to fix the showerhead. But I was told there was no guarantee it would work ($400). So the other option was 2] Replace the whole shower system for around $3500. The initial visiting fee of $189 would be adjusted into this amount if I went for the whole replacement. I fell for the upsell. The quote they provided was 15% higher than the 2nd quote I got. However, their promise was to also complete the drywall work as best as a plumber could. The hassle of having to find a handyman to do that work tempted me into accepting the higher-cost item. The work itself went at a very slow pace with the installer (Robert) taking a full day (around 8 hours) to replace the shower system. He took the brass/copper connecter with him (apparently they have good resale value). His promise was to return the following day to level the drywall. Surprise #1...I was supposed to buy the spray paint required to texture the wall...something they said they would take care of in the beginning. Surprise #2.....Robert demanded 100% payment even before the work was completed. This after I had paid 10% down. Surprise #3....The initial visiting fee of $189 was NOT part of the full amount. A phone call to Robert's supervisor, Alexander fixed that 3rd problem. It did not come as a surprise that the following day Robert never showed up and Elite rooter abandoned the drywall work. Ultimately, I ended up hiring a (good) handyman to get the drywall fixed. I contacted their service email and got a reply from Trisha. After providing her my home address, there has been total silence...no replies. Since 16th June 3 reminders later, it clear to me that this is an organization that is out to make a lot of money while offering mediocre service. Caveat emptor!

A few days ago I noticed that on one of our faucets, if I closed the hot water side too fast there was a little bit of a rattle under the house. I thought I could handle it myself after asking Perplexity what it could be and installed a water arrestor. That didn't help so I thought, maybe it could be the strapping. I reached out to Handy Plumbing Man on a Saturday and they were quick to respond that they could have someone there on Monday. Monday morning came and their technician, Miguel, went down and found that one of the pipes they had worked on wasn't totally secured. No problem, mistakes happen. He said he'd call the office to get technicians over to check the strapping on the work below. I had to go into work but did get a message from them later on that day to see if they could get someone over the same day (Monday) to fix it. This is more on me that I had already gone into work, but they said they could do tomorrow morning at 8am. The guys, Carlos and Baltazar, came bright and early, went under the house and secured the pipe and then some. Awesome company!

We first contacted him at the last minute on July 4 because we were concerned about a possible leak. Mario arrived promptly and performed a very thorough and patient inspection. After carefully examining the area, he determined that there was no active leak and that what we were seeing was simply a stain on the wood. Even though he had come out on a holiday and spent time investigating the issue, he did not charge us for the inspection. We really appreciated his honesty, professionalism, and willingness to help. We then asked him to clear a clogged bathtub drain. He removed hair after each attempt and could easily have stopped after the first or second try, since the drain was already beginning to improve. However, he felt there was still a larger blockage deeper in the drain, so he kept working until he finally removed the biggest hairball I have ever seen. That persistence made a real difference, and the drain has worked extremely well ever since. Mario was professional, dependable, honest, and committed to getting the job done properly. For plumbing emergencies or routine plumbing work, I would highly recommend Mario's Plumbing and Drains.

From an instant set up from their dispatcher which was very nice and quite helpful. (My apologies for forgetting her name) I got an instant appointment confirmation through text and email, they called 30min. before the plumber came out. Then they text me a picture of a plumber and a little bio of the him. It's reassuring knowing who's coming into your house. When Ross arrived, on time, in uniform and clean. (Maybe I was the first stop.) I knew cause of the bio text and picture that the company sent was very helpful. Ross was polite and courteous to our house and slipped on some shoe cover which I very much appreciated. I told him our issues with the faucet and which problem started after water shut off in our complex . With a couple toggles at the faucet lever he had an idea what was wrong. I had a gut feeling it was an easy job but let's let the professional figure it out. Which he did. After the water shut off a lot of debris came out and clogged up the faucet spout filters. Ross removed all the debris and cleaned it out. Lo and behold we have more water pressure!!! He told me he wasn't going to charge me because of how easy of a fix it was. I was extremely thankful and embarrassed at the same time now knowing how easy that job was. Nonetheless, thank you Ross and Bell Plumbing you guys are a prime example of a company with a high standards!

Danny Jimenez came out to spec the work the day I called, documenting the job and explaining everything in both English and Spanish for both his team and mine. Glen Cruz came to do the prep work and pipe liner extension which was done quickly and cleanly. The cost was a fraction of what other plumbers quoted. My pipe goes through the center of my house and other plumbers wanted to dig up my floors or my garden. 10/10 for Bell Plumbing. My pipe is working great, and my house is still intact.
