Joe is The GOAT. Just moved into the new place and needed a new water heater. I received many quotes that started at 5k and they used scare tactics to push for upgrades and unnecessary work. Thankfully I found Joe. He was knowledgeable, funny, a great guy and didn't try to upsell a thing. He replaced my water heater at a great price. While he was here my sewer was backing up when he tried to drain the water heater. He asked that we get it cleared before he finished the job. We called Homeservice plumbers and they came out, said there was a block and they would have to tear up the basement and the starting price was almost 7k. More if they found other problems and they repeatedly tried to use, used car sales tactics and scare tactics to get me to replace Joe as my plumber and destroy the basement to clear a "block". Joe recommended Colorado Sewer Service and they came out and cleared the "block" in 10 minutes for 1/50th of what they were going to charge to tear up the basement and install a new unnecessary pipe just to begin with, which I am sure they would have tried to turn into a 20k plus job. Joe did a fast and excellent job and is just a good human being. I cannot say enough good things about this man and his business. Without a doubt I will use him for every job I need in the future. You are the best Joe, thank you again for all you did and for being Honest! read more

Joe was communicative and prompt, fixed the issue with a split valve, clearly explained the root cause of my main problem (which I always appreciate), and advised me on separate item I could resolve for myself. Would recommend! read more

Joe was great and didn't try to upsell me. He was quick to respond and trustworthy. He arrive in time. Did the work efficiently and left the area clean. read more

The work was done well. It was fast and reasonably priced. I would definitely use again and highly recommend to my friends and family.

Honest Plumbing and Joe are truly honest. Joe replaced a hot water tank. He gave us a reasonable quote and did a great job. He is very professional, did a great job explaining what need to be done, and completed the job quickly and efficiently. We would give him more than five stars if we could. read more

I was so lucky to have found Honest Plumbing! Joe responded quickly and was able to come and fix my running toilet the next day. He arrived on time and was nice, professional and very knowledgeable. The running toilet was promptly repaired, so... I asked him if he could look at another few issues. He agreed and ended up fixing a serious problem with a leaking toilet. His pricing is very reasonable and he even cleaned up the mess in both bathrooms when he was done. I could not be happier with the outcome and strongly recommend Honest Plumbing for your plumbing needs. read more

I have called Joe for a few miscellaneous items at the house. Every time, he has been fair in his pricing and quick to get the work complete. We haven't had any issue with anything he has done. read more

The plumber did an excellent job relocating our drain pipes. Communication was great from start to finish, and the work was done professionally and on time. Would definitely hire again! read more

Joe was awesome. I needed a water line installed for a kitchen reno and he did a fantastic job. Really great price and service, which is a pretty rare combo. We'll definitely be reaching out again if we need a plumber in the future. read more

Joe installed a new water heater for me today. Awesome price and service. I couldn't be happier

I have finally found a plumber I am happy to recommend to other people! Joe was able to come out quickly to replace our faucet and the valves under our kitchen sink. He was neat, efficient, friendly, and his price was reasonable. read more

Joe was great. I called about a rattle in the walls, and he replaced the PRV valve the next day. Really appreciate the service and fair price. Very nice guy too. read more

I had them install a 40-gal gas water heater. They provided good work at a competitive price.

I'd called at least 7 different plumbers in the Denver area for a time sensitive plumbing situation (water slowly seeping up under my floor boards) and no one was available. One of the other plumbers that was fully booked actually gave me Joe's number, saying he'd worked with him before and that he was very trustworthy. Thankfully Joe picked up, said he might have availability but had to check on something. I'd had a couple places say that already that morning without getting back to me, but Joe called me back right away and was on his way! He showed up even a little earlier than expected and I was still on my way back from an appointment, but I texted and he was extremely understanding and waited for me with a smile. He was very friendly and professional as he investigated the problem, asked all the right questions, and identified the leak. The actual fix needed in the end was minimal and only required a small part that he happened to have on hand. But instead of rushing he took the time to explain what was wrong and how I could fix and prevent this myself in the future. He only charged me his minimum service visit fee ($75, pretty standard and fair) and was very pleasant to work with. His business is aptly named, as I can tell right away that Joe is an honest, reliable and knowledgeable guy for all your plumbing needs! read more

I'm convinced Joe is an angel! We were undergoing a top-to-bottom reno with tight schedules between the contractor, plumbing, electric, etc.. After our original plumber canceled on us last minute, we were panicking because it was going to set us back another week with our contractor. I reached out to Honest Plumbing with an SOS to help us get the tub in over the weekend before the contractor was scheduled to start on the tile. Joe was super quick to respond, came within 48 hours, on time when he said he would, and did the job for a great price. Clean work and it looks great! He really knows what he's doing and is fair and honest. I would recommend Joe/Honest Plumbing to anyone! See photos! read more

See all

I have a rental unit in Denver and called Honest Plumbing to take a look at a leak coming from the upstairs bathroom. When I called to schedule, Jessica was extremely nice and they could get to my unit quickly. I asked how much they charge and Jessica said they charge per hour and not per project; she followed up to say they charge a $69 service charge to investigate the problem and then apply that to the future charges should there be any. She also said the technicians have all the parts they need accessible there in their service vehicle. Josh, the technician shows up within the 2-hour window they provided and found out it was a leaking toilet seal (around the base where the toilet meets the drain). He also suggested he replace the flapper unit inside the toilet. Relieved that it wasn't a major, in-wall pipe leak, Josh then said it would cost $650 to fix. WHAT! I asked, 'how much do you charge an hour!?' We charge $160 he replied. If you've ever fixed a toilet ring on a toilet, you'll understand my shock (drain the toilet, two screws take off the toilet, remove the old wax ring and clean the area and put a new wax ring in place). I just checked Home Depot toilet rings $9.89 and flapper kits are $13.97). For a full time, 'honest plumber' to take over three hours at $160 hour to change a toilet ring and a toilet fill kit is just not honest. I'm sorry, $23 in parts, $625 in labor? Hope this helps should you hear the 'we don't charge per hour' (nonsense since the technician know exactly what they charged per hour). Low fee to get out there, exceptionally high price to do the work. read more

Gotta pile on another 5 star review for Joe and Honest Plumbing. These guys came out and saved the day back in December when I tried to flush my water heater, not realizing the pressure relief valve had become so corroded that it wouldn't seal back up again. My wife was many months pregnant at the time, so not having hot water wasn't exactly ideal. However, Joe/Honest Plumbing was able to come the morning I contacted him and get that swapped out. He also helped me diagnose what was wrong with my water heater to begin with, which had nothing to do with not flushing it all those years. Fast-forward 7 or so months, and it was finally time for a new water heater, and these guys were able to come out with just a few days notice, and get it swapped out in just a few hours. It was affordable, and they swapped out some of the lines running into the water heater because those were so corroded, and made sure to install a drip tray and PVC piping to run the overflow to our floor drain (which I hadn't even thought about). I still have some unfinished plumbing work to be done in our basement and I will definitely be reaching out to these guys when that time comes. Definitely highly recommended. read more

100 Stars! We sent him a question, he immediately sent a follow up question that helped clarify our problem. He was able to come out the following day and fixed not only the ball valve on our sprinkler, but Amazingly was also able to fix our leaking swamp cooler. I don't want another plumbing problem, but looking forward to calling this guy back when i do have one. read more

Honest Plumbing stands by their name. Joe was quick, honest, reasonably priced, and did an outstanding job on my pluming problem. He explained everything and didn't try to just do a quick sale at a high price like some other plumbers. I have full confidence in his good work. read more

These guys installed a gas line in my house for a new gas stove. Communicative, professional, and the most personable home repair folks I have ever ever worked with. Wow! read more

I have now had Joe out to our house twice to do some plumbing work. One job involved replacing some bad solder joints on the sprinkler vacuum valve, and the other involved swapping out my old sump pump for a new unit with battery backup. I must say that I could not be happier with Joe's quick and clean work, and prices that I felt were extremely fair. For the sump pump job I had purchased the sump pump as well as all the pipe / fittings that I had expected to need, but of course forgot a few items. Joe went to Home Depot to pick up the missing components, and also grabbed some short lengths of PVC from his house, which will allow me to return several sections that I had purchased. Overall if you are looking for a truly "Honest" plumber, give Joe a call. read more

Extremely satisfied with Joe and Honest Plumbing! I called him on a Friday and he was able to come first thing Sunday morning to repair a hose bibb and install a ball valve. Pricing was very very reasonable, especially for the weekend! I will absolutely be calling Joe again for any future needs! read more

I never write reviews but Joe earned this one. He was able to get out the day after I called him. Got a new shower valve installed quick and for a great price. With these days of everyone being weeks out, he saved my butt on this job! read more

After going to a couple other plumbing companies for estimates to help with water heater replacement/installation on my old house, I came across Honest Plumbing on Yelp. As any owner of an old home can attest, these jobs are never as straightforward as a simple replacement. Honest Plumbing came in with a fresh perspective, and creative solutions. They were prompt, professional and within their originally quoted price. What a relief! They also took time to show me what we can do with other areas of improvement for very reasonable prices. I will be hiring them again soon. Highly recommended! read more

Just called to schedule someone to come give me an estimate to replace water line to my swamp cooler (Monday, June 18). Hours were listed as 7am to 7pm, but no one answer, only an answering machine that told me he was out of town until June 21 and to call back on the 21st. Disappointing. I'll try someone else. read more

Note, I didn't have work done by Joe. He never called back after the multiple times I called. Other reviews sounded great but apparently he isn't taking new customers? read more

Joe came to take out a leaky garbage disposal. He was quick, polite, clean, and able to schedule me same day. A week later we had the same problem at a rental property, and again, he was prompt, quick, clean, and polite. Thanks Joe! read more

Joe was great and really made the process simple, answered all my questions and completed the work within a few days and at a good value, highly recommend! read more

The owner, Joe is as good as it gets!!! He's very pleasant, very knowledgeable, very fast and very reasonable. I purchased a high end shower valve and shower head to install myself but it was too complicated for me to install. I called several plumbers and they all said they had to come out to give me a quote, except Joe he quoted me a price over the phone and he stuck to it. I did have one other plumber come out and they were 3x's the price of Honest Plumbing. Joe removed to old fixture and installed the new one. It took about 2 hours which I though was very quick given how complex it way. There was one problem though, after Joe left, I turned it on to show my wife how it worked and when I turned it off, it started to leak. To make a long story short, when I call Joe back, he came right out and in about 15 minutes he too the handle off and found a tiny speck of solder. After it was removed there was no problem. Joe is better than sliced bread, for plumbing that is :). read more

We had water leaking from our garage ceiling below our master bathroom on a Saturday. Joe returned my call promptly and was here in an hour...on a Saturday. He fixed the faucet on the tub. His pricing was very very fair, especially for a weekend. We highly recommend Joe at Honest Plumbing! read more

Joe was great from start to finish for our tankless water heater installation. Fast response, great communication, open and honest during the diagnosis and estimate, fair and competitive price, and good follow up. I would highly recommend Joe and team! read more

Whenever I have work done, they are prompt, professional, and charge reasonable prices. So far they've added a gas line for my new stove, replaced a water heater, and checked the sump pump in the new house. We were worried that the sump pump was broken and actually hired them to replace it - Joe took a look at it, said that it's not broken and poured water in so we could see that it turns on. The company name has the word "honest" in it, and surprisingly enough, they actually stick to it! read more

Our water heater died, and Honest Plumbing was great. They communicated clearly, made an honest and competitive bid, showed up when they said they would, and got the work done quickly and well. We will definitely call them again. read more

He was timely (early in fact) quoted a good price (and went with the low end of the quote) did great work and did it quickly. No complaints, all positive. He's a nice guy to boot. read more

We have had work done several times by Joe. To say he is exceptional is an understatement. His word is golden and he is someone you can trust. He is fair and quick to respond to emergencies. We've used him for everything from clogs to plumbing upgrades to dishwasher installations. when friends mention plumbing, we are quick to give them Joe's card. read more

This is a late review, but I wanted to acknowledge that the owner of this company, Joe Gonzales, totally lives up to the name of the firm. He installed a hot water heater and did some spigot work for me in November. It was a big expenditure for my household so trustworthiness was paramount. He's very straightforward when it comes to scope of work, price estimates, scheduling, etc. Very good at communicating through phone, text and email. I really like his simple and direct approach. He's not "salesmany" (and obviously that's a good thing). Highly recommend. read more
