    Ok it's 4-1-19 also know as April fools day. We had to call a plumbing service for a backup in our dishwasher that has been repaired twice before and was never right. So we called on Carlos with Golden State. Here is the joke. He came on time ready to work and as nice as he could be, he did the work others said they had done, he screwed the machine into the countertop which should have been done with the installation. He made the machine run perfect for the first time ever. April fools day no joke after 35 minutes, minimal cost, and a very friendly visit we are happy as we could ever be-- no fooling

    Shower value and tub installation.

    I highly recommend Golden State Plumbing for any plumbing needs. They have done two full copper re-pipe at both of my homes and everything was done professionally and clean. Carlos and crew have a high level of professionalism and dedication to there job and most importantly fairly priced. Very happy I chose them for both my homes!

What I thought would be a small, quick fix ended up turning into a much bigger project, but Giovanni was incredibly patient, thorough, and committed to getting the job done right. He took his time, never made me feel rushed, and genuinely cared about finding a solution. On top of being extremely knowledgeable and honest, he's also hilarious, he had me laughing throughout the whole process! I highly recommend Giovanni to anyone who needs plumbing work. It's hard to find someone who is honest, reliable, patient, and genuinely takes pride in their work. If you have any plumbing issues, call Giovanni, you won't regret it!

Diagnosed the issue to be the main flush valve. Researched and ordered a NuFlush replacement part as OEM parts are not available anymore. After repeated attempts to get the new valve to seal in the bowl but no joy, selected Gio at Drain and Main after reading reviews here on Yelp. Gio worked with my schedule, the part I already had in hand, and solved the issue within an hour. I was so close to the solution but Gio delivered the last important step and technique. Toilet is back in service! Gio thanks for the out of the box thinking and for staying with the original quote for the service call. Excellent value! Recommend him for all your plumbing challenges.

    We were replacing a gas water heater with a hybrid electric heat pump water heater. Generally, this…read moretype of heater costs twice as much (price and installation) as a traditional electric water heater, but costs a lot less to run (and therefore you recoup the additional cost in a few years from lower operating costs). I had a very easy experience getting an on-site quote. I received 3 quotes for this job. 2 quotes, including this one, came in around $7100. I went with a third one at around $6700 (which included an additional mixing valve) and am very happy with my decision. Overall price was not a big part of my decision, but brand of water heater was. After doing some research online, the most recommended brands are AO Smith and Rheem (GE). Both higher quotes were for Navien, which has only been making heat pump water heaters for 1 year, but I was told that it is the most reliable brand. I did not understand how this claim could be made, given how short the duration of evaluation for this product. Even the worst appliances usually work for at least a year. So I requested a quote for AO Smith or Rheem, which I did not get. I'm not sure why my brand request was not honored, but it made me question whether I should go with a company that either has communication issues or maybe some type of deal with Navien that I was not informed about. Many water heater installers are preferred installers of certain brands, which means they can get better pricing, etc. I did not want to be a guinea pig for Navien.

    After getting a very high quote from a major plumbing chain, we decided to contact Water Heater…read moreMasters. We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Water Heater Masters. Alex sent our technician, Rojo, who helped install a new 40-gallon gas water heater in our indoor utility closet, and he was incredibly diligent, professional, and efficient from start to finish. Installing a tank in an inside closet can be tricky, but Rojo handled the entire job seamlessly in just 2 hours. He replaced everything with high-quality components, including: * New hot and cold water flex lines * A brand new water shut-off valve * A new gas flex line and sediment trap * Fully reworked earthquake straps (to meet California safety codes) * Properly updated T&P line and venting He also took care of the removal and disposal of our heavy 18 yr old tank, leaving the utility closet completely clean. If you want fair pricing, expert specialized service, and a technician who respects your time and home, call Water Heater Masters and ask for Rojo. Highly recommended!

    EJ Plumbing / EJ Home Services came to my home this summer to replace a water heater. The…read moretechnician who initially came out to provide the estimate was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. From the phone calls I had with the company before the installation, I also got the impression that they were well staffed and a fairly large operation, which initially gave me confidence that everything would be handled professionally. I called around and found that EJ was on the higher end price-wise, but I was impressed enough with that first interaction that I decided to go with them. They were also able to install the new water heater ($3k!) later that same day, which I appreciated. Two technicians came out for the installation. Both were friendly, and the installation itself appeared to be fine. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the follow-through and the condition in which the work area was left. After showing us the completed installation, the technicians left without staying to make sure everything was operating properly once we turned on the hot water inside the house. As first-time homeowners, we didn't know that air would need to be bled from the plumbing or that we might initially see sediment coming from the faucets. When we turned on the water about 45 minutes later, we weren't expecting either of those things. It would have been very helpful--and reassuring--if the technicians had run the hot water inside, confirmed that everything was working properly, and explained what we might experience following the installation. We also discovered several hours later that small pieces of installation debris had been left around the work area, along with a screw/nut and a long, thin piece of plastic pipe. There were also dirty fingerprint marks left on the door leading to the water heater. I don't expect a work area to be spotless, but after paying for a professional installation, I do expect the installers to clean up the materials and debris from their work and leave the area reasonably clean. Another frustration was the permit. We were not informed that a city permit and inspection would be required. We later learned about this ourselves and had to apply for the permit and arrange for the inspection, which required me to take a half day off work. As first-time homeowners, this process was new to us, and I would have expected a professional plumbing company to explain the permitting requirements when the water heater was replaced. I initially chose EJ because of its excellent ratings, the professionalism of the technician who provided the estimate, and the impression that I was dealing with a large, well-staffed company. Unfortunately, my experience showed me that a larger operation doesn't necessarily translate into better attention to detail or follow-through. We were apparently their last job of the day. I can't know whether that affected the service we received, but the way the job was wrapped up and the condition in which the work area was left made the experience feel rushed. For the price we paid, I expected better follow-through and attention to detail. Based on this experience, I would not recommend EJ, and in the future I would personally choose a smaller plumbing company where I might receive more individualized attention and follow-through.
