My mom has been a regular client of this plumbing company, so when I got my own place, I was happy to use their services. Recently, I had a toilet that started acting up. Bud came out and fixed it for me. Last night was the first night I slept soundly without hearing the toilet make a whooshing sound in the middle of the night. If you need a trustworthy plumber, I would definitely try their services! After fixing the toilet, Bud showed me all the new parts so I could see his work. I will definitely be calling this company for future needs. read more

Thank you yelpers for steering me toward this company. We had a bunch of little problems that were causing a huge headache (water hammer, issues with our hot water coming out of our cold line and through the water sprinklers and a water heater that was out of code). I had originally called out another plumber to see if he could fix/diagnose the problems and he could not. I had a water heater specialist come out to fix the hot water issue and he could not fix it. I finally found Fitzgerald Plumbing and gave Patrick a shot. I liked that he was local and the other reviews were promising. Patrick came out on a Monday and patiently listened to me as I gave him the history of problems. He came up with a plan to fix each issue and made an appointment for later in the same week. He also identified a pipe that had corroded and was about to fail. When Patrick showed up, he explained how he was going to fix each problem and gave me a price for the job. Then he got right to work and by the end of the day the water hammer was gone, the hot water was working normally, my water heater issue was fixed and he had replaced the rotted pipe. Patrick was professional, polite and took the time to explain each issue to me in terms I could understand. He cleaned the areas up where he had been working and made sure all my questions were answered before he left. His rates were reasonable and he warrantied all the work he performed. I can't over sell how impressed I was with this company. Finding a good plumber is like finding a good car mechanic and Fitzgerald Plumbing was a great, local find for anyone in the Long Beach/Lakewood area! I will be using this company for any future plumbing needs and I will be recommending them to my friends and family. read more

We called Fitzgerald's Plumbing after another local plumber came out, looked around, and decided not to help us with our stopped kitchen drain. Huh????? We called Fitzgerald's and Patrick came out the next day even before the appointment time. I found him waiting in front of the house. Apparently this was a more complicated drain issue since the plumbing is older. He worked at it until it was completely fixed. He also made a modification in the pipes under the sink so the next stoppage would be a cinch to fix. Niiiiiiice. Patrick is polite and very friendly, and he left our plumbing in a better condition than he found it. It looks like we have a new plumber!!! Thank you, Patrick!! read more

Patrick and his team are great! Ive been using them for years, ever since we moved in. Very attentive and easy to work with. They've got their system down, from taking a call about my problem, to the visit, to closing invoice and follow-up text. Solid all around. read more

This is the third time I've used Fitzgerald Plumbing. I've arranged the job details with Patrick and worked with one of his technicians Leo. I have always received a job quote prior to any work starting. They have been great, Leo found an issue with my water softener draining to the ground underneath my house and installed the correct P-trap and attached it to my main drainage, this stopped my stucco from crumbling in that area. In a recent job, Leo came out to a rental house of mine and promptly changed out the water heater the same morning the tenant reported the problem, and this was on a Friday!! read more

When another plumbing company you trust can't come out referred Fitzgerald Plumbing, we were so grateful they came out the same day to see what the problem was. And fixed it the day after! An issue that was 25 years in the making resolved in only a few hours. Many thanks! read more

I called Fitzgerald Plumbing because it got some recommendations from Nextdoor. I used them several times, and they did the job I asked. The plumbers they sent were cordial. I recently texted for service to remove a dishwasher, but they never answered my text. They suddenly just didn't want to do business with me anymore without any explanation. This is the kind of service I got after I recently gave them a great review. Strange and very unprofessional read more

Excellent service, super courteous, and they don't rip you off. My mother in law is beyond pleased with the service and we couldn't ask for such great service. We've finally found someone we can trust!!!! read more

We have only one bathroom and our toilet started whistling and seriously, in my 77 years, I had never experienced a whistling toilet! I did Google it and evidently it's not unusual! So I called Fitzgerald Plumbing yesterday at about 4:45 pm and they came out this morning at 8:30 am. Bud was great and even though he didn't have the parts that were needed, he went to get them, came promptly back and fixed it! This is my second time using them and both experiences were great! read more

I had an ancient flange for my toilet that needed to be replaced & I had tried another plumber who wanted to tear up the floor & the slab and spend 2 to 3 days doing it for $4200. My neighbors had used Fitzgerald Plumbing so I gave them a try. What a difference! They did the necessary work (no floor ripping needed) plus changed the toilet (at my request) to a really nice one. All in under 2 hours and at a great price~ They were courteous pleasant and they even cleaned up. No minimum charge just to come out and there was no upselling either. They were clearly very knowledgeable and I wish I'd found them sooner! read more

I have had Fitzgerald Plumbing out twice for service. Both times they have been great about communicating with me and have been on time. Jobs are completed efficiently and they always clean up before they leave. Very professional and trustworthy. I will use them again in the future. read more

I needed two very outdated water heaters replaced on a duplex and found Fitzgerald Plumbing to be the perfect guys to call to get the job done. They were on time and professional from start to finish. I'm glad I was able to find these guys on Yelp! See my before and after photos. read more

Sorry to have to write this review but, after using Patrick (the owner) for several previous jobs and even referring him to friends and family members, we did not have a good experience this time around. I have always thought Patrick was on the higher side price-wise but was okay with it since he seemed to be responsive and got the job done. In addition, he was supporting his young family so we were happy to help them out. However, this time he sent out another technician who messily ripped a whole in the garage ceiling in order to diagnose the leak from the toilet in the bathroom above. once the issue was determined (old flange and wax ring needed to be replaced) he ran over to Home Depot to buy the approximately $20-$30 in parts. Once back, he quickly made the repair and then handed me the outrageous bill for $850. Keep in mind he was only here for 2 hours and 20 minutes (including the trip to Home Depot) so I was being charged $400 an hour for labor. In addition, they state upfront that a quote will be given before the work is performed, however, I did not receive the pricing until the very end. When I questioned Patrick about this and the pricing he said he was sorry for the "oversight" but that they charge by the job and not by the hour. After some back and forth via text he would not make any adjustments to the pricing and finally just stopped replying at all. And the kicker is that I still had to pay someone to come out and repair the drywall so that added even more cost to the job. Very disappointed in the way I was treated as a past loyal customer. Buyer beware... read more

After trying 2 other plumbers over the years, Fitzgerald is the one I am keeping. Great service, quick response and reasonable prices. My first experience with Fitzgerald was to have them fix a toilet that another plumber messed up. It was fixed in minutes by the knowledgeable plumber who knew exactly how to do a permanent fix! I just had them over here to do a tune up on my hot water heater.... The plumber that put it in was not as professional as I expected so I called Fitzgerald. The man who came to do the work was friendly, knowledgeable and the cost was very reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend FITZGERALD PLUMBING for all of your plumbing needs!! A+ read more

I have no complaints with the quality of the repairs nor with Warren who did an excellent job. Also, I was not provided with an estimate, written or verbal, nor did I ask for one. As with any issue that upsets my daily routine, I was happy to have it fixed and fixed correctly. Here's the issue: After I submitted payment to Warren, I received a text from Patrick asking for a review. I texted him back and requested a written invoice with a parts (material) and labor breakdown. Simple request, so I thought. Patrick referred me to the Terms and Conditions on the invoice which said no parts and labor breakdown would be provided. I never received that information before or during the work. The invoice did provide a narrative which was a description of the problem and the steps taken to remedy the issue. Very well but I would have appreciated an idea of the labor costs and the parts breakdown. We had to purchase two different 'sets' to finally land on the one that worked. One was installed and Warren took the other set. I thought it was patronizing and uncomfortable having been referred to Terms and Conditions that I never agreed to. read more

Fitzgerald plumbing has and continues to be wonderful to work with! We've had them out a couple times. They've installed a whole house pressure relief valve, temperature and pressure relief valve for our tankless water heater and have relocated hose bibs when we were restuccoing our house. We've had to have them back to fix plumbing work non related to there workmanship and have resolved all of our plumbing issues! They are timely, professional, quick and clean in all aspects of the job. I would highly recommend them. read more

I finally found my local plumber! Patrick knows his stuff and he explains explains explains so u feel at ease. He's so nice and easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. I will definitely use him again. read more

Sent a message overnight on a Friday because our hot water heater stopped working, and Patrick responded first thing Saturday morning with his availability and with questions on what needed to be done. Before he came out he asked via text for various pictures that would help him ensure he had all the right tools and potential parts when he came out, which i had not experienced with other contractors before and which i thought was a really smart way to save time and be more efficient, which i loved. Patrick came out on Sunday and quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. I asked him about working on weekends, and he mentioned that he doesn't mind because with some of the issues even things that aren't serious emergencies (like our not having hot water) can feel like it under certain circumstances, like if you have elderly residents or babies in the house. Little did he know that we do have a baby, and that's one of the reasons why we wanted to get our water heater fixed ASAP. Patrick was professional, friendly, and super cool and I highly recommend him and this company. read more

If you ever need a plumber DON'T CALL THIS PLACE THEY WILL REAP YOU OFF they give me a quote to replace a faucet and a p trap I already had bought p trap and faucet just for labor 340.00 I said thanks but no thanks I found someone way better he charge 140.00 I am a woman but that's doesn't mean a stupid one . read more

They showed up in less then 30 minutes and fixed the issue right away. House was back to normal in less than a hour.

We had a great experience with Fitzgerald Plumbing. They were prompt, clean, honest, and affordable.

We used Fitzgerald Plumbing for the first time today. A tenant at one of our properties notified us they had a kitchen sink backup and needed to respond quickly to prevent further water damage. Once we placed a call to Patrick at Fitzgerald Plumbing he responded within minutes and he arrived at the property the same day. He arrived on time, worked efficiently & professionally, and provided an accurate quote over the phone. The tenant's plumbing issue was resolved avoiding major damage. Patrick even honored the coupon we had which is available on their company website. We appreciated the price transparency. We recommend using Fitzgerald Plumbing. And we look forward to working with Patrick again. read more

I called 6 different plumbers in the area with no answer or call back (many who claimed to be 24 hours). I was delighted to finally get in contact with Patrick who answered my call. He communicated frequently and often. Once he arrived he assessed the situation with my problem and provided a detailed explanation of the work he would need to do. Initially it appeared the fix was going to be more expensive than he thought however well after we spoke he continued searching the house for the exit drain. By finding it the cost of the work was now going to be less. Friendly, honest and detailed is how I would describe my experience. And even better I didn't feel he gauged me with the cost to fix my plumbing problem. I would recommend and definitely plan on calling on him again. Thank you Patrick!! read more

I called the owner Patrick urgently last Monday and he had no hesitation getting someone to come fix my shower leak the very next day. Bud showed up and not only was he efficient but he was very knowledgeable and let me know what exactly was going on and which pipe it was that was leaking. Patrick the owner then had another company come out the same day to check for water damage and mold. I had the leak fixed, water damage dried out and repairs estimated within the week. It was a great experience. read more

I called Patrick early this morning because our water heater went out with no explanation (it's brand new ). He was so friendly and understanding and even adjusted his busy schedule to swing by to fix it for us since he knew how terrible it would be without a water heater in the cold! Outstanding service, we will continue to support this local small business with our plumbing and water heater needs. Thank you Fitzgerald Plumbing! read more

Had a terrible experience. They came out to replace a sink faucet and it was leaking the moment he left. Called Patrick and he said they're busy rest of the day and will come back the next day. So I had to hear a leak all night until they came back. Finally came and fixed it. Other than that, very messy and unprofessional. Just parked on my driveway which is shared with my neighbor and blocked us both in without asking to park there. Why would you block a shared driveway when there is plenty of street parking right in the front? Had to ask him to move it. I think he was upset when he left because he dumped a bunch of trash on the street when he was leaving. Never using again. read more

I highly recommend Fitzgerald Plumbing! Had them come out today to flush my tankless water heater. Patrick was very friendly, fair, and showed up on time! Nice to have a new, reliable plumber I can count on. Will be calling him back for other projects in the near future. read more

It's good to know you can count on a business to be consistently good. It's a bonus when the business owner and staff treat your emergencies as seriously as you do and help make the stressful and often quite extensive repair process go smoothly as possible. Once again, Patrick and his crew came to the rescue and spent two full days rerouting all of my remaining pipes a previous plumber hadn't done that might have prevented the current water damage I experienced. Thanks to Patrick, Leo and everyone else who worked tirelessly to fix a major plumbing problem. They have more than earned the outstanding reputation they deserve and as long as they are in business they will have mine and I highly recommend them. read more

I'm a retired firefighter. This is my first experience with Fitzgerald Plumbing. I was very pleased with their team performance. There was a moment during the service that the team and I held a conference call with Patrick, the owner. It was creative and ultimately the perfect solution was decided upon. I would not hesitate to utilize Warren, Chris and Patrick to solve my future plumbing needs. read more

Fitzgerald Plumbing has come through for us on many occasions! Patrick is great and shows up when he says he will and does a great job. I own a construction company but I also have rental properties and he is my go-to guy when we have plumbing issues for both business and personal. read more

Great guys, easy to work with. Responded to yelp message right away. Came promptly to appointment and told me all my options to get my issue fixed. Did not try and push the most expensive option. Will definitely do business again in the future. read more

The pilot light in our 66-yr-old floor furnace kept was flickering. I found Fitzgerald Plumbing in our neighborhood website, and they were highly recommended. Smiling Leo rebuilt our floor furnace thermopile unit, which was like 66 years old. Then he placed a thermostat in the hall. Works like a charm! I never thought it would be possible, on such an old unit. I tried getting under the house to clean the furnace pilot and parts, but got a serious cramp in my thigh. Too old anymore, I guess. read more

You wanna get ripped off just like those undercover investigations on the news , call these plumbers . The man came out peeked under my sink didn't even get down and look and says yup it's going to be $185.. and he himself gave up before we could even tell him his services will not be needed . I guess he didn't know how to turn water off or didn't know how to do the job or didn't feel like working today not sure but he left lol . Got my son to come over and unscrew and change valve off of YouTube !!!! Nothing was stripped . Save me my breath and money . Don't get ripped off . read more

I called Patrick and told him I believe my water heater needs to replaced because the ceiling was leaking. He came out and replaced it right away. He also gave me a quote on my toilet and they replaced that as well. I will definitely give them a call again if I have any other plumbing needs. Thanks Fitzgerald Plumbing read more

Best plumber I've ever had come out and help me. We had a pipe outside burst last night. Called this morning (Sunday). Said he could be here between 1 & 1:30. I sent him some pictures via text. Told me how much and we agreed. Showed up just after 1, started working on it. Turned out to be worse than we thought. Had to dig out to the feed from the street. Charged me $50 more than originally. He did awesome work, didn't charge me for being a Sunday, and was priced better than any plumber I have used in the past. I would never use another plumber again. read more

Fitzgerald Plumbing - All fixed up! - Plumbing Near Me - Cerritos, California

I'm very glad I came across Fitzgerald Plumbing when searching for a local plumber. We've had issues with the water temp going out to our backyard and the garage, and haven't been able to figure it out. Finally, we did some additional research and called Fitzgerald Plumbing. They were very helpful on the phone and scheduled someone to come take a look within a few days (I mentioned this was not an emergency, so it did not need to be right away). Ralph showed up early and went right to work, investigating the problem. It didn't take long before he found the issue, which was much less of a problem than both of us initially thought! Ralph was able to explain what was going on and quickly fix the issue. He found another, unrelated problem that could use fixing and gave us an estimate, for which we are going to schedule him to come back on another day and fix. Overall, great experience with Fitzgerald Plumbing and Ralph. I would definitely reach out to them if you have any plumbing issues. They were quick, friendly, knowledgable, and able to solve a problem that other people were unable to. read more

Fabulous service every time! Fitzgerald plumbing has always been there for me when I needed them.

Fitzgerald Plumbing is the best! Had to have gas lines rerouted and they came in and did an amazing job! Highly recommend their services, great work, clean and professional! read more

We had an issue with our water heater back in December. Patrick got back to us right away and came over to assess the situation. He gave us all our options, but we decided it would be best to replace since our old water heater was at least 7-8 years old. Patrick came back the next day and did a complete upgrade and install. It is amazing the difference a new hot water heater makes. We can now take a shower and not have the hot water run out. We should have made the switch a long time ago. I highly recommend Fitzgerald plumbing. Very professional and easy to work with. I will call them for any future needs. read more

They were able to fix a leak in my toilet on the same day I I called. Rather than replacing the toilet, he was able to replace the bolts to make the leak stop. That saved me a lot of money. The technician was professional, courteous, and I would call them again. read more
