Due to the good Yelp reviews I had read and the businesses proximity to my home, I made an appointment with this company to stop by for plumbing help. So I am sitting home waiting anxiously for their arrival and when the two hour window appointment time we agreed on was here they canceled because "a customer of mine is flooding" Of course understood and rescheduled for five days later. This next appointment day finally arrived and they didn't bother to show up or to cancel the appointment I had with them. Now I pray I am wrong and they didn't get cought up in that flood but reliability and keeping your word is important to me so I am not going to attempt doing business with Finesse again. read more

What a great experience!!! Albert and his crew were efficient, thorough, fair, and courteous. I will always use Finesse Plumbing when a plumbing problem comes up. Thank you Albert and team read more

Albert at Finesse Plumbing was excellent. Very professional and honest. Work is guaranteed too! I will definitely use in the future for any plumbing problems. A good and honest plumber and electrician are two things I like to always have a go to for. Finesse plumbing is now my go to plumber! read more

I called Albert, owner of Finesse Plumbing on Labor Day. I thought our water heater was going out due to water on the garage floor. He answered his phone on the holiday. He told me to check the top of the water heater for leaks and sure enough, just a cold water flex pipe leaking. I fixed it myself but probably would not have looked there without his advise. I had him come and put in a hot water recirculating pump. He arrived on time, actually early, installed the pump and was very friendly. He told me any problems at all, call him. He really wanted us to be happy with the service. We now have someone we can trust for plumbing. read more

I cannot be more thankful for what Albert did! The pipe outside my house was broken and it was flooding so I needed to turn off the water switch. I got no water to use for 1.5 days and I really wanted to get it fixed. I read YouTube videos and seek for help at Home Depot but at the end I made the situation worse. I called multiple plumbers and I was treated more like a number than a customer. Finally I called Finesse Plumbing and Albert answered the phone. He listened to me very carefully and provided me very knowledgeable advice. He had no dramas and was straight to the point. Of course he helped me have everything fixed at the end! :) read more

My boyfriend Marc left a review for Albert as well. Anyway...Albert came and inspected the mystery leak in our garage and we thought it was our water heater. After walking in, in three seconds he told us that it wasn't the heater and his staff went down to the crawl space to figure out if there was a leak. They couldn't find anything and Albert suggested that it might be rain water coming down the elevation from our backyard and to just wait it out to see if it gets worse. Either way, he didn't charge us a single dime for the effort and said that estimates were free. We will definitely be calling him since we do plan on getting our very old heater replaced. Thank you so much for the help and for being professional and honest. PS: Sorry I kept calling you Alberto. :) I have an old friend named Alberto. read more

First time they came, couldn't do the job of a simple bath tub cloggage. Stated they need to reschedule in order for his company to send two men to go on the roof and send the drain down from the roof. They stood me up twice by not calling or postponing/cancelling appts. I wanted to talk to manager and they stated that they would have him call me. Not once has he called. Finally I called another plumber locally and he came and completed the job in minutes. This is not even Better Business Bureau worthy!!! Worse company I've dealt with ever. read more

Very quick response time and quick to work us into his schedule! Problem fixed efficiently and no issues since! Thank you AJ!

Albert was great! I called in for a gas line valve on a Tuesday afternoon, and he was able to come the next morning! He showed up on time, and fixed it quickly. Nice, personable, reasonable price. I already gave his card to my dad. I'll definitely call him again for my plumbing needs. read more

So we just bought an older house that needed a new hot water tank as well as someone to help us with fixing the crazy low water pressure in the main bath. Albert got right back to us with a quote and was willing to start the job on the next day(a Saturday). He was able to install the new tank and clean out the lines, rather than replace, to fix our pressure problems within just just a few hours. Great customer service and fast turn around time that anybody could want when it comes to water issues. read more

Albert is genuinely concerned with providing excellent service and taking care of customers. We were first time customers and he provided us with superior care and proved he can be counted upon. If we need a plumber, we'll call Albert at Finesse Plumbing. read more

Second time I've used them. These guys are great! They're on time, do good work and are super easy to deal with. They're also available on short notice, even on Sunday! I manage several rental properties so being able to resolve issues quickly, especially when I'm out of the area, is really important to me. I have a tenant who had a plumbing issue come up on a weekend. I was a thousand miles away and needed it taken care of ASAP. Finesse worked with the tenants, catered to their schedule, kept me informed and got everything up and running within a couple of hours. I checked in with the tenants and they were super pleased with the way Finesse handled everything. Win win! read more

Spoke with Albert Today. I've been a repeat customer for years and always yet great service, but was having trouble getting ahold of him on the number listed on yelp. Turns out yelp is not updating his number correctly. The correct number to reach Albert is 510-688-9222. read more

I was talking to Finesse Plumbing via Yelp!, got all the details work out, made an appointment a week in advance and they didn't show up.

I'm sure some day I'll get back here and leave a full blown review. For now, let's just say that the integrity that others have talked about is 100% accurate. Finesse Plumbing went out of their way to make sure that we did not spend money to fix things that were not broken. Building customers for life instead of making a buck for the day. So appreciated. read more

I was originally slightly hesitant to hire Finesse Plumbing because they're a bit smaller and newer than the other companies I received bids from. The biggest factor that convinced me to hire them is that the owner Albert has a sense of pride and takes ownership in his company. The other plumbers I spoke with seemed more tired rather than excited for a large job. I hired Finesse to do all of the rough plumbing for my home addition in Vallejo. The agreed amount was fair, I didn't feel the need to negotiate, and there were no extra costs. They were quick to start the project and generally stayed with the pace of the other contractors. I liked that when the crew showed up in the morning, Albert would come to the door to say good morning and go over the days plan. During conversations he shared information about the direction of his business, similar jobs, and his personal efforts to improve upon his trade. I can tell how proud Albert is of his work and successes. He always has a smile on his face and is very polite, even under stress. There was one moment where they were running behind, however Albert and his colleague stayed until 11:30PM to make sure the job got done. I'm hoping to use Finesse Plumbing in the near future for replacing the original sewer lines in my 1940s home. read more

Once again Finesse comes to the rescue !!! After waiting 4 days for a part to arrive I started calling around for a repairman for my water heater. At first I tried Finesse but, unbeknownst to me the number had changed. So after trying all the numbers , BINGO!. After twisting their arm they were able to get the job done for me. They went the extra mile. Such good guys. Especially when the manufacturer of the water heater misdiagnosed my problem,sent the wrong part,and then didn't even call me to adjust the part number-they tried to send it but had some snag-stupidity?-and didn't bother calling me to correct their mistake. Well, Finesse came through with the correct part ! Now, does anyone need a control unit? Maybe I should send it back to the company! Ha ! Thanks again, Finesse ! read more

Finesse Plumbing saved our party. We sprung a leak under our kitchen faucet the night before a graduation party. Finesse plumbing was the first to respond. The plumber named Albert quickly diagnosed the problem. He found a crack in our faucet and discovered a valve that needed replacing. He replaced the valve and got us a deal on a great looking faucet that no longer leaks. Thanks for the quick response and repair! read more

I needed repairs on a pipe asap. Finesse responeded promptly and had the work done before I realized! They take the time to explain the job and get it done in a very timely fashion! Super workers, fair prices and a 2 year warrenty! whenever I need work they will be my first choice! Local,too! read more

Unfortunately the most unprofessional contractor i've had to deal with since moving to the East Bay. Waited four days for our scheduled appointment which they failed to show up for. Avoided answering the phone and refused to return my calls. Looks like this isn't the first time this has happened. All it is is a phone call, Albert, to let your client know that you can't make it, so they can make other arrangements. It's called common courtesy, mate. read more

They were great until they got paid. Treated me wonderful then when they were "done" and paid and I had called them out to fix things that needed to be done I was flaked on repeatedly. Then after getting upset for wasting my time after waiting hours for them to show up and never did and no call to tell me they weren't coming. I was told "fix the sh** myself" among other things. They took my money and didn't care after that even tho they said the work was guaranteed. My contractor was concerned with things they did and I wHen I told them that they said"get a real inspection". I've saved all the messages from Albert. I failed the plumbing inspection after paying almost 6k. I had to pay someone else to fix the problems they left. I was directed by the inspector to report them to the board. Hopefully they might want to settle this. But they might flake on me. My original review was good but that's because I had faith in them and trusted them. But after 2 contractors had told me before inspection what needed to be fixed they completely left me hanging. read more

Installed three faucets (Moen) in my bathrooms. They all look and work great. Albert is punctual, efficient and professional about the whole process. Very pleased. Would hire again in a heartbeat. read more

This guy was supposed to be at my house at 9am, and not only did he not show, he never called and at about 1pm after my third voice mail, it was obvious he blocked my calls. He should not be used or trusted. Horrible business person. read more

First Class!!! Above and Beyond. All I can say is you're in great hands if you have Finesse Plumbing do work for you. They looked at the scope (running a gas line to a BBQ island when the only gas line was to our living room fireplace) and gave us a great and fair price. They were super responsive and on time. Did excellent work and even went beyond scope to give us the best, safest and most reliable solution. We had a very tight deadline and they squeezed us in and got it done, not just in time, but with better than average quality. They dug up the existing gas line and wrapped it for extra safety. They worked around our time frame and knew the ins and outs of code and how to do the work in a way that caused the least disruption for us and the least disturbance to the existing structure. Can't recommend Finesse Plumbing highly enough. They are the best of the best! read more

This is the second time I have used Finese Plumbing and these guys are great! The first time was a Saturday and I had all these subs lined up but ran into a glitch, the angle shut off valves were leaking and would not stop the water, I called Finese and Albert was able to do it quickly and efficiently! It was a Saturday and he told he there was a minimum so when he finished, he offered to measure the pressure of my water, just it case it was over and answered all my questions! Showed me where the main shut off valve was and other tips, it was awesome! The second time, again ready to do the bathroom and the shut off valves are leaking, I called Finese and made an appointment, we confirmed and they arrived on time- thought it wasn't Albert, it was Joe and he was just as awesome! It wasn't as easy since the junction was in the wall but everything got replaced, he was clever and brought different sized pipes and fittings, which is a good thing since one of the faucet hoses is a different size than the other. No fuss and everything taken care of for the price quoted, on time and friendly great guys!! These are definitely my go to guys and I'm in the construction industry, I can tell who knows what they are doing or not. I don't say that much about but I do watch to see if they are following building practices. Some things just click so why change when you know it will be good! read more

This company is absolutely outstanding. Albert came to my home Monday and fully installed a brand new water heater on Tuesday! Looks great too. I dealt with Albert who was nothing less than professional; so polite and respectful! In fact, I'm having him come back to do more work, price is that good! read more

I had an emergency situation and had no hot water for a few days until PG&E could come out. They advised me to contact a plumber. We called Finesse Plumbing, and talked to Albert. He came out the same day and took care of the problem within 15 minutes! Albert was efficient, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and affordable!! I would recommend him for your plumbing needs. read more

I called Finesse out today to repair a hose bib at the front of my home. They were on time courteous and professional all the way. Did a great job. I find it difficult to get a good contractor out for just about anything these days. I will definitely use Finesse again. Shaky read more

Awesome plumbing company! Highly recommend! The best we've had for our home and rentals! Expertise and work done in a timely matter, very professional as well . The owner Albert takes pride in his work and makes sure you are very satisfied . Redoing our bathroom next and well we've found the plumber for sure! Great job Finesse ! Were very pleased and thank you thank you ! read more

We received a very large water bill. We called EBMud because we had not been living in the house so no one was using water. We finally called Finesse Plumbing and Albert Minor came to the house the next day. He went under the house and found a leak. After checking everything out he gave us an estimate, which we accepted. He got the job done quickly and effeciently. He did not go over the estimate so we were very happy to have the work done and we paid him. Later we wanted to sell our house and there was a problem with the sink in our master bathroom. Having a good experience with Finesse Plumbing we gave them a call. When Albert arrived on the day we agreed on, he checked out the sink and set out to get what we needed. The sink was an odd size yet he was able to find one. We agreed on his estimate and he got to work. It turned out beautiful. The house is an older house but the sink he suggested he gave our bathroom an updated look. Our house sold in one day and I'm sure part of that came from the work that was done by Finesse Plumbing. read more

I used Finesse Plumbing a couple of years ago on my kitchen sink and my back yard water spicket. The service was excellent and even enjoyed a cold beer with the owner afterwards. I recommend using Finesse! read more

Albert at Finesse Plumbing is great. He called me to let me know a previous job was taking a little longer than expected and he would be on his way shortly. He told me on the phone what he thought the problem was and how much it would cost. Then when he arrived, he fixed my clogged toilet, was right about what caused the clog, and charged me exactly what he said he would. I would highly recommend him. He is MY plumber now! read more
