I had an emergency plumbing need on a Sunday (clogged sewer line) and Johnny Carrillo responded back right away and he was here in a few hours and cleared everything out. He was honest, highly experienced and considerate and neat! I highly recommend Johnny Carrillo for plumbing needs/emergencies! read more

Yesterday Johnny Carrillo completed installing a new kitchen sink in my house and serviced the toilet in the master bathroom. He arrived when he said he would, understood the situation and did a very professional job. Towards the end he discovered that the pressure regulator on my main water line had failed. Fortunately for me he had a replacement on his truck and replaced it. His business card now has a prominent place on my refrigerator and would call him again without hesitation. Johnny Carrillo is an honest hard working plumber who truly cares about his customers and stands behind his work. read more

The service by Johnny Carrillo Plumbing was great. They inspected my job and came back to complete the work efficiently. Good value and quality. read more

Johnny's a great guy! I've been going to him for 25 years. His prices are very good. He's old school - honest - no sales pitches - no surprises. You may have to be patient with him. He can get extremely busy and may not be available right away. read more

They gave us quick responses and service is very good! So I always call them when I have water leak problem or plumbing issues.

Old school local family run plumber. Venice and Culver City locals. Great reliable service and reasonable prices. Go local for personalized service. read more

Called Johnathan Carillo in the morning he came out the same day and diagnosed and fixed a pinhole leak in a copper pipe. He was able to complete the job in 2 hours and charged a fair price. It is so comforting to know there is a great plumber in town. I will be calling him in the future for all my plumbing needs. read more

Johnny is extremely nice. Our neighbor referred him to us for a clogged and leaking pipe. He was responsive, has good communication, honest, accommodating, on time and reasonably priced. So glad we found a new plumber that we really like and trust. read more

A plumber tried to charge my 84 year old mom $900 on a Friday to fix a leak. Johnie Carrillo charged her $165 on a Saturday. Quick response time, polite, professional, and above all honest. read more

We've gone with Johnny Carrillo a few times in the past for water leaks and drain clogs and have always been pleased with their service. It'd been awhile and we got a new clog in our bathtub drain, so we called them and they were quite booked but they knew it was semi-emergent as it was really starting to back up. So they called back and said they could come early the next morning if we could accommodate that. Office staff was very pleasant and helpful. I was on a tight schedule with my kids and work but they came right on time, diagnosed the problem right away (just a lot of hair deep into the pipes) and fixed it quickly. They also just happened to notice that one of the bathroom sinks was draining slowly (which I had not mentioned) so they went ahead and cleared that up as well! They were clean, professional, courteous, well priced and so accommodating! Just another reminder why we love these guys so much! read more

Johnny and his brothers helped with a major plumbing issue where old galvanized pipes had to be replaced with copper pipes over two floors. They did a great job and did it in one day. They also fixed a bathtub drain in another place of mine. I like finding local family owned well run and reliable businesses. I'll continue using Johnny in the future. read more

Johnny was so an the ball, came out within an hour of texting, fixed the problem, and helped us avoid it in the future. Honest and reliable. Will be calling again. read more

I needed help unclogging a drain after I failed to do it with the hand-cranked snake I have at home. I struggled for half a day, and Victor unclogged it in 30 minutes. He also gave me some tips for next time. Scheduling was simple and the price was fair. read more

2nd time using Johnny, he's the best! By "best" I mean not just fixing our plumbing problems which he has done quickly and professionally. "Best" means he came after we met with another plumber (landlord request) who claimed the only way we could fix our drain was to cut into the existing pipe to create a bypass to access the clog. I said "no thank you" to that $1,000+ job and called Johnny. He got to the bottom (literally) of the clog and resolved the problem for less than $200, no cutting required. Similar to a car mechanic or a dentist, when you find someone who is great at their job and HONEST about the work they're doing, you keep them for life. Thanks, Johnny! read more

I can't rave enough about Johnny and his professionalism. I had an emergency which impacted a next door neighbor while building a fence on my property. My handyman hit my neighbors' water main and it exploded. I called Johnny and told him the story, he was there in under an hour! He was well presented, professional and provided a clear explanation of what needed to be done to repair the problem. And best of all, reasonably priced, even for a last minute emergency. I would recommend Johnny to any home or business owner. He's above and beyond the average 'smell good plumber'. Thank you Johnny! read more

I don't typically write reviews, but I felt like I had to really hop on here and let others know what a great experience I had with Johnny. I'm a real estate broker who was representing a buyer on a fourplex. There were several plumbing leaks and main sewer line issues that came up on the buyer's general home inspection report, and that's when I searched for a plumber in the area to further diagnose these issues and provide the buyer with estimates of how much it would cost to remedy. Johnny was recommended to me by a colleague, and this was my first time working with him. When we met at the property, Johnny was able to diagnose the cause of several leaks under the property in the crawlspace. However, I forgot to ask him take a deeper look at the main sewer line, which the general property inspection report also called out at being at the end of useful life. This was the biggest cost that the buyer had to factor when purchasing the property and also the biggest impact on negotiations with the seller. Although Johnny had a super packed schedule, he was gracious enough to squeeze me back into his schedule again on short notice, and take another look and provide estimates to replace and reline the sewer line. It took a lot of stress away from me because he was able to get those second estimates and proposals back to me IN TIME to meet our negotiation deadlines. I highly recommend Johnny because of his technical plumbing skills, excellent communication, and overall customer service!!! read more

I had a few leaking and backed up pipe emergencies and Johnny made himself available. He returned my call and text immediately, told me the entire truth about what was needed for repair and not needed. He shows up on time, or even early and has his brothers working with him. It's a true family business. He also charged me less than other plumbers. 5 stars for sure! read more

I got an estimate and when I asked him when would he be available to do the job his answer was "I will let you know". Obviously wasted both our times. Please be more professional with your clients, whether prices are fair or a bit inflated, reliability and clear communication goes a long way. read more

From now on I will ALWAYS call Johnny whenever I need a plumber! Johnny is reliable, thorough and reasonable. He came for an emergency water shut off then back again to fix the problem and found another one but didn't even charge me extra for it. He's also kind and trustworthy. read more

I had a burst water pipe under an apartment building that I manage and had to shut off the water to the building and Johnny Carrillo Plumbing came out, crawled under the building, soldered the pipe and it was all fixed in about 2 hours from when I first called them! They charged a very fair price to do the job and I'm going to use them again. read more

Nice guys but you need to have the patience/sanity to consistently follow up and to have someone at home 24/7, because it will take several no-shows/reschedules, showing up hours after they say they will, coming by for 2 minutes once they finally do show and then saying they need to come back, and then going through the whole process from scratch 2-3 times to get anything done. A month's time, several follow-ups/texts/calls to track them down, and a prescription for Xanax is a way to get the job done so make sure whatever you need is not urgent (I've called them for urgent issues too, it doesn't make a difference). Have had to deal with this around several times for different jobs so know by now that it's not the exception but the rule. I've tried to be patient and kind because they are nice people, good about responding on text, seem to be fair/honest with pricing, and apologetic when some inevitable last-minute problem or trouble or glitch comes up that they say is a one-off, but after having dealt with the same ordeal time and time again, unless you're prepared to quit your job or have someone at home full-time waiting for them, it is probably best to go with a more professional service. read more

This is a true professional honest and you will not get overcharged! It is so refreshing that we still have professionals as him! 33 years in business. He came one morning 15 minutes. Came the next day with the correct parts. Another 30 minutes and all the jobs of the toilet were perfect!!!!!! Thank you for my dear friend Arlene to recommend me to him. Oh and he is so punctual and polite... read more

Scheduling can be a pain in the a$$ because some jobs can take longer than others and in their position it's understandable since they can only give a proper diagnosis of the problem when they arrive on site. Nonetheless, Johnny came through to fix a clogged bathroom sink and it's also fixed the water stopper in the sink because its lever was too long. I'm happy this got done today since I took the day off to be at home. Now I have a bathroom sink that's draining water so I won't have to brush my teeth in the kitchen. =) Cost: $85, done within an hour. HOLLA! Note: if you're reading about plumbers to choose and the yelp review gives a specific name to whom came by and fixed your problem with great service - always request that person!!! read more

After reading the rave reviews on yelp, I called to get a bathroom drain fixed. Yvonne, the operator was quick to respond & route the guys to my house. They came within a 3 hour window. They didn't have the part in their truck so Ruben had to go to the hardware store & return the next day. I'm knocking down stars because the whole process to fix the sink took 5 minutes and the cost was $165 ($130 for labor alone). I thought that was ridiculous, as I was a repeat customer & I've had plumbing issues done by other companies before for less than half that cost. read more

We had a pipe burst at 6:00 am. I called Johnny Carrillo right when they opened and they had two guys at my house within an hour. They replaced the pipe and even took the time to use a shop vac on our carpet to clean up the water. The service techs were professional, fast and friendly. I highly recommend. read more

My kitchen sink was backed up because the disposal was clogged. I tried to DIY it with plunging, vinegar and baking soda combo and a wire coat hanger. None of that worked. I needed to call a plumber. I found Johnny here on Yelp, and called first thing on Monday morning and left a message. He called me back within 5 minutes. Yes, 5 minutes! He said he could be there in 45 minutes and let me know what his hourly rate was. He came on time and fixed the sink within minutes. He took special care to clean up after the mess, which I really appreciated. If you have a plumbing issue, I would highly recommend Johnny and his team. read more

Took a bit to schedule with them but once scheduled, they were on time, efficient and Danny did quality work. I would definitely use them again and recommend them! read more

I own a hair salon in westchester CA, and my sinks were SUPER clogged. My usual plumber of 6yrs never returned my "frantic" call!! We called Johnny at noon, he was there by 3 (in the time line I was quoted), my sinks were flowing in less then 30 min!!! I've got a new plumber!!! Thanks Carrillo plumbing!!! read more

Johnny was in my hood when I called him. He came right over and fixed my sink handles in addition to snaking my sink and bath tub. He also noticed my toilet was running and fixed that too. He didn't charge me more for doing the extra things. It really was a pleasure to deal with him. read more

Johnny did a great job replacing my water heater. He replaced my water heater quickly and effectively. He did make a little bit of a mess on my carpet while dragging it out; but I have since replaced the carpeting with wood and I mentioned to him that I would be doing so. So it was ok. The price did creep up by a hundred dollars from his original estimate, but not outrageously so like Home Depot (scammers). I paid a total of $1,200 to get a new Rheem commercial 50 gallon nat gas unit. I wouldn't say that that price is cheap by any stretch, but reasonable I suppose - especially considering L.A.'s high prices for licensed plumbing labor. There were two guys working for about 4-5 hrs on the job. My water heater is on the 3rd floor with many steps due to high ceilings, so the job was a little bit more difficult than normal. I originally had called Home Depot to do the job. They quoted me $1.1k do to the job but when their installer came out he said I needed to spend another $3k+ on top of what I had paid Home Depot. He claimed I need thousands of dollars of modifications since my setup "wasn't up to code" and he also wanted to charge me hundreds of dollars extra because of the 3rd floor location. I not so politely told the H.D. installer to get the f*ck out of my house now! Johnny didn't try to bs me like Home Depot did and did a great job. My new water heater seems to provide an endless supply of hot water and was a great recommendation. Thanks Johnny! read more

This guy IS as good as it gets!!! At the risk of never being able to use him again because he is so damn good, honest, kind and a cool guy to boot, I will say you will most likely NEVER come across a plumber like this. He charged a third of what others' charged, he lets you know when he is on the clock so that you don't get charged for time that was spent on chatter, and he does an excellent job. I think God sent him to me because I have had so many rip-off and shi**y plumbers that take advantage of single women I think he should win some kind of award, but I see he already has a top BBB rating, so that should say something about him, also. You will be very happy with him. read more

Thursday- made appointment for following Friday between 3pm-5pm for a clogged sink. Friday- Plumber shows up at 8pm!!! Awkwardly opens and walks right in my front door?? Whatever, I did call him to come over after all... He's a nice guy, apologizes and says he got backed up with work. So he gets to work by running the water for 5 minute, he tells me it won't be a quick fix so he needs to come back, either Saturday or Monday... He'll text me. Saturday - 3:50pm text from plumber- not going to make it, he'll come Monday between 1pm-3pm Monday - 3:30pm text from plumber- I'll be his first call Tuesday morning at 8:45am... yeah, we'll see. Tuesday- showed up around 9am and got it taken care of! ..... 3 weeks later my toilet clogged up. I texted Johnny, he gave me a couple instructions and then came over in less than 15 minutes. Fixed the problem in 5. Pretty impressed with the service this time around. Definitely have to increase the star rating after this experience! read more

I found Johnny on Yelp, and after reading his great reviews I called him to fix a backed up pipe. He came the next morning and fixed the issue within an hour. He was polite, pleasant, and efficient. I believe his price was reasonable - it's not like I could do a matrix comparison of prices with other plumbers, but I definitely didn't feel ripped off. Thanks Yelpers for recommending an honest plumber! read more

Victor from Johnny Carrillo Plumbing did an excellent job replacing the pipes under our kitchen sink, which were old and corroded. He is skilled, reliable, and friendly. read more

Had a plumber show up before him, said he couldn't do anything cause he didnt have the part. Charged me $100. Called Johnny, he also said the part I had was a fossil and hard to find but gave me places I might find it. Didnt charge me anything. Then he offered to rig up a temporary faucet with random parts from the car and only charged me $99 for the service. My faucet works now and he was a really great guy. So you can either have a plumber that cant do a hard job and sticks his hand out for payment anyway, or you can have John who thinks outside the box. A+ read more

Provided excellent service in a timely manner at a reasonable price!! Definitely will use again.

Got job done fast. Same day start. Finished next day. Lowered my main water line. Works good. Good team

I had had Johnny come by 3 times since the past year and a half to repair a bust water pipe in the garage, choked drain in kitchen and water leakage under the bathroom etc. and each time he has excelled himself. A very straightforward simple man of few words and complete action. His work and prices are excellent and I highly recommend him for all kinds of plumbing issues. He makes time for you always!!!!! Call Johnny for all your plumbing work without fail. read more

Called about 5 plumbers on a Saturday morning to come and unclog a sewage problem. Johnny was the first one to text/call me back. Made an appt with him to come out Sunday. He had the drain cleared within 30 minutes. Thankfully, we have a clean out drain so it makes the plumbers job much easier. I would recommend Johnny for unclogging drains. read more
