Dave is the most honest plumber I have ever met. He had been doing work for a friend of mine and…read morehis family for years and they've always happy with him. I live in an older condo that tends to have a few problems from time to time. Dave is always prompt, seems to find the most effective way to fix it as the least cost to the customer, and - very important point - his repairs last. Case in point, I recently noticed a gas leak from the valve that services our dryer. I was expecting that I would have to replace it because of its age and called Dave to come on out. He called me back and gave me a way to fix the issue myself. He could have easily replaced it (charging me) and I wouldn't have known the difference! Seems only fair to get out the good word about Dave. This small business doesn't seem to advertise much. Hopefully that's because he's so busy with all the good word of mouth referrals. Now you know!

Dave was recommended to me by my Appliance man at Advantage Appliance, another great business here…read morein San Marcos. Anyway, on a Sunday, we discovered a scary plumbing problem; a slab leak. Apparently, hot water was leaking underneath the flooring in our bedroom. I called to leave a message, but Dave answered (remember, this was a Sunday) and gave me advice as to what to do, and he would be there first thing on Monday. He arrived on Monday, told us what was going on, and suggested that we go overhead with a new pipe instead of dig up the floor in the bedroom! This was great for us, and he bid $850 for the entire job. I had asked a friend about this, and he said not to go over $1000, so this amount was perfect. Dave arrived on Wednesday, and did the job. It took a lot of the day, but it all went very well. Dave was very professional, but friendly and nice to talk to. He was even nice to the dog and petted and spoke to her so that she would not have to be left outside. He spread a tarp under all the work places, and then cleaned up very well after the job was done. While up in the attic, Dave noticed that a heating vent was completely apart, so he fixed this for free. I can recommend Dave for all kinds of plumbing work. He is very knowledgeable!

Our kitchen & bathroom faucets needed to be replaced because they were old and two were leaking…read more We decided to buy the faucets ourselves and have Randy install them. He and his assistant were very friendly, down to earth, arrived on time and installed the faucets in a timely manner. Randy also gave us maintenance tips. When he left he told us to call him should any of the faucets leak and that he'd come back asap. Well one of the faucets did that evening and he sent his assistant the very next day and thankfully it just needed slight adjusting and tightening. We'll be calling him again for our future plumbing needs.

Easily the best plumber you can find in North County. I had a complex drain issue that required…read moreattention as soon as possible and Randy was highly recommended by my in-laws (and I see why!). Scheduling an appointment with him was easy and his inspection of the issue was prompt and to the point. He listened to all the DIY solutions I tried myself and considered them in making a professional decision on what to do, something that many in the profession could have easily disregarded in an attempt to overcharge me. Before charging me a dime, he broke down in detail exactly what he did, what the cost of material was, what the average cost for the job was, what alternatives other plumbers would do, and why his approach, method, and price was more efficient and fair. What surprised me was that he insisted on keeping me fully involved and informed of every detail and step of the job, something that is not typically expected from other plumbers who "look, charge, and go." Aside from solving the issue in such short time and on such short notice, Randy is set apart from other plumbers for a couple other reasons as well. He was very respectful and patient through the whole experience. He actively listened to my frustrations with the issue and again, took my words for consideration before making further decisions. He was friendly and personable, and pet my dog (with permission of course) while it followed him around the house. He's just genuinely a good guy. Schedule an appointment with him and see for yourself; he's shown his mastery in the trade, and is generally an easy guy to converse with. I personally wouldn't and couldn't believe a single word of any negative review regarding this man and his business. People have to be hating just to hate, because I would highly recommend Randyman to anyone for any plumbing job in full confidence; the work alone could speak for itself. He's easily the most efficient, honest, and personable plumber you can find in North County. TLDR/Bottom Line: If you're looking for a go-to plumber, stop scrolling and save the number: this is the guy to call.

I was really happy with Michale's prompt help and knowledgeable advice on what we could and could not feasibly do with our bathroom. Additionally he was able to upgrade our shower, sink and install new fixtures throughout all within the same visit saving me a ton of time and money! His can-do attitude and positive demeanor about our projects motivated me to get to work done leveraging basic maintenance to avoid costly repairs down the line. I'll definitely be reaching back out soon with our other home improvement project and plumbing needs. Thanks for all your help, Mike!!

I didn't meet Larry in person, but my husband said 10/10, he would hire Larry again should we need a plumber!
