$1,500 Bill from Nicholas for an hour's work. That really says it all. Turns out that even with the outside irrigation shut off as Nicholas claimed was the source of the water leak, there is still an ongoing leak according to Cal Am's meter. So this expert who charged $1,500 got us nowhere with his solution. I would strongly suggest getting a breakdown of his fees in writing before you ever have him show up. And if he isn't willing to state in writing what he or his brother Chris charge per hour, think twice before asking Landmark to show up. read more

If you're looking for a quality, reputable, honest plumber, you'd be well advised to look elsewhere. Landmark Plumbing is none of these. We contacted Landmark plumbing November 6th,2023 for a leaking water heater. Nicholas was sent to deal with the situation the next day. Fairly expensive.imo,for the whole project. Was told to call back in a year as a "warranty check". Fast forward to August 12,2024 and there's water leaking. After trying to call and text Landmark numerous times to have them come and check things out and getting no response whatsoever, we were finally able to contact them the next day using a different phone. We thought that was a bit strange. Was told they didn't have a record of their visit because their computer crashed and they needed to see the bill for verification. They sent Nicholas again and after he looked things over he was happy to inform us the leak was not from the water heater but where he had connected it. He then told us that the failure was caused by an apparent lack of proper grounding of the fuse box (he claimed it was grounded through the pipes) and not his workmanship. He also said he knew someone that could fix our electrical grounding issue. How nice. So we were charged $250 to fix the issue because he claimed it wasn't their fault that his connection failed but that it was due to our grounding/electrical issue. Before Nicholas left I wanted to know why they were almost impossible to get in touch with to fix things. Never did get much of an answer but I was told that I didn't seem grateful at all that he had come to fix the problem as soon as he did. He then threatened to call the owner of Landmark to have them ok an extra 'emergency' charge that he could pass on to us.They then called later to let us know that they wouldn't do any more work because of such a negative atmosphere (that they apparently felt they had nothing to do with). Uh...thank you. A nightmare experience that many fear might happen when a plumbing issue arises. I immediately made a call to Chris Wilson plumbing. They sent someone in less than an hour. He looked at Landmarks work and advised us to replace all the connections to the water heater. He then showed the copious amount of pipe goop and plumbers tape that were unnecessarily used. Jorge told us that it was no doubt that this was the cause of the leaking connection. When asked about the alleged electrical/grounding issue he didn't have to say a thing... he did roll his eyes with a shake of his head. Beware! Landmark plumbing will charge a LOT for inferior workmanship,not stand behind their work and then threaten to charge you more if you're not appreciative of this.

Nicholas, from Landmark Plumbing, came by this afternoon for a plumbing emergency I had in my kitchen. What a nice, knowledgeable, hardworking guy! He was able to fix the problem, and his fee was very reasonable. I will definitely call Landmark again and highly recommend them based on my experience. read more

We had guys from Chris Wilson plumbing come out to install a sink during our bathroom remodel. What should've been an easy job, resulted in an over-tightened valve, chipped basin, and a continuous slow leak into our vanity cabinet. After two weeks of being ignored by CW, we made the switch to Landmark. Nicholas was immediately responsive, respectful and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain exactly what went wrong. He came out immediately even under short notice and when somehow the address hadn't been shared prior to the estimate, he still honored the initial estimate even though we lived a bit farther than their typical area of service. We were even sent photos for documentation and he ensured all info was in writing, explaining each step over the phone. We can't speak on the leak yet, but I'm sure I'll be updating the review to five stars once we've had some time to use the new sink! read more

Extremely happy with Landmark Plumbing!! He was here in 30 minutes to look at why we didn't have hot water. He diagnosed it and said it could be a few things but reset it and said to see if it happens again then we will go to the next solution. Saved about $500 this trip! He didn't try to sell me anything. Just the facts and I so appreciate that!! We will definitely use them again! read more

Landmark plumbing was able to come out and check my leaking tub asap. Unfortunately the problem was more complex than we thought but they were able to diagnose it and lead me in the right direction. Very nice and helpful. Thank you! read more

Excellent first experience. Our hot water heater panel sensor took a crap just before 4th of July weekend. I called first thing in the morning, before 8am, and Nicholas answered the phone and was very polite and accommodating. All was fixed the same day and now we will have hot water again. You don't realize what a luxury that is until it's gone. We are so thankful that Landmark Plumbing saved the day!! We will definitely use them in the future read more

Kris, with Landmark Plumbing, a highly, formally educated plumber, provided me with exceptional, professional, and personal customer service, a pleasant personality, prompt job completion with proper long lasting quality parts with 100% guarantee. I had four (4) plumbing issues that Kris needed to address; install a kitchen faucet and replace the mechanism in the toilet tank, a falling bathroom sink and a major/main pipe leaking under the house. This leaking pipe is the pipe that both bathrooms feed into before going out to the city's main pipeline. A termite company found the leak. I went online to find a plumber to resolve all these problems. When I saw Landmark Plumbing Service had a high 5.0 perfect reviews compared to other plumbing companies I called them. As I recall, Kris came to the house the next day. On that day, I described my four issues to him. Kris at once replaced the mechanism in the toilet tank and installed the new kitchen faucet I had. Before he replaced the faucet, he noticed that my water pressure was excessively high coming from the city main water system. Kris recommended and authorized the installation of a pressure regulating system. The pressure regulating system guaranteed the work Kris performed in the house, and I realized a much improved, cost saving flow with all water related appliances. Kris went under the house and took pictures of the leaking pipe. He went into the bathroom vanity and took pictures of the falling sink. He explained in plain language what the problems were and what is needed to efficiently correct the problems. From my house Kris transferred the pictures with his voicemail instructions to his drywall and painter subcontractor. Kris would then replace the piping. Kris's solution for the falling sink was to replace it with a drop-in sink. He sent the picture and the measurement of the sink opening to his research person to find the right drop-in sink. This saved me from having to buy a costly new vanity. Kris and the subcontractor completed fixing my four (4) plumbing issues within less than one week's time to my complete satisfaction. Kris and Nick kept continuous contact with me. read more

I received a phone call from a plumber at this company. When I answered the phone he did not introduce himself nor did he state what company he was from. I only found out later what company came to my home. I still do not know the name of the man that showed up. Over the phone, I explained the situation and his statement to me was "if your leach field is clogged then you are done." WHO says that to a customer?!? He showed up early, which is probably the only plus. He spoke to my mother who also explained the situation. He walked around the property and then left. He never said anything and didn't leave any paperwork. Later, we receive information from the warranty property that a report shows "no mechanical failure." So my pipes are rumbling for no reason? Got it. read more

The service was the best I've ever experienced. I would definitely call them back and the price was more than Fair

Don't hire this guy! Work not to code and leaking. I'm unable to get a permit for this. Horrible attitude and service. read more

Landmark Plumbing - This guy did terrible work that is not to code. I could not get a permit for this work. Don't hire this guy - Plumbing Near Me - Monterey, California

My pipe outside had a leak and Landmark Plumbing was the service provider from our home warranty. Chris came and did a very good job in replacing the leaking pipe. He even suggested another problem that will help our hot water to run efficiently. Thank you Chris and to Landmark Plumbing for the job well done. read more

If there was zero stars I would have selected that. Landmark was not responsive to phone calls. Came out after repeated phone calls, messages. Our water heater died, plumber agreed. On a Monday. We are without water from Monday to Thursday. On Thursday I called and text. Finally after 3rd call there was an answer. He argued w/me and said he wasn't coming out. It was awful! Never again. Worst plumber EVER! read more

Talked on the phone with an employee was very rude, had a bad attitude and even hung up on me what a way to lose a customer. Wouldn't recommend this place not professional. read more

I had them replace the hot water heater in my rental property, and 1..They charged me over $200 more than the most expensive plumber quoted, which I paid to avoid any hassles.. 2. They did not get the proper permits required for doing the work..I got an administrative citation from Monterey County, charging me a $360 fine for not doing this legally..Permits also needed to be acquired within a 45 day period to avoid additional fines..The owner, Nick, never returned my calls..I now have to pull the permits myself at the County Offices, to avoid larger fines.. I have worked with contractors for many years and have never had any problems.. I'm guessing that the many 5 star reviews he has are from his friends and family..he is overpriced, dishonest, and doesn't stand by his work.. BEWARE.. read more

came 5 days earlier than the warranty company set up when i explained that we had no hot water

Utterly unprofessional.... At first Nick was ver friendly and professional, but then he ordered parts which he said would take at least a week. Then when I called to follow up, he texted me and said the parts never arrived and that he wasn't coming back to finish the job. When I questioned why, he never responded. My insurance company is now charging him back for all of the parts he ordered and has added him to the "do not work with" list. If you hire this company it will be at your own risk! read more

Joe fixed our water heater on Friday. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. He was very professional, friendly, kind, and considerate. I would recommend Landmark Plumbing to anyone. read more

Great service. Really helped us out detecting a leak. Nicholas was awesome. We had a leak that was causing damage and he came out on shore notice. Found the leak and fixed it. Great service read more

$100 for less than 5 minutes to turn on water heater. Ridiculous. All he did was hold a button down and turn nob - followed instructions. I should of done myself but was scared. What a rip off!!! Not sure how he sleeps at night after that. read more

Nick came to our house today to replace a leaking water heater. He was awesome, Not only did he respond rapidly, he replaced the waterheater in one hour, explained everything in detail, left the place clean and dry and was very polite. Thank you, we plan on calling you for all our plumbing needs. Alex and Martie Holodiloff read more

Joe M. came to replace our water heater last week. He was incredibly genuine, mindful and went above and beyond in the service he provided. We have been experiencing an issue (cigarette smoke seeping from the apartment below us into our apartment via various fixtures surrounding our water heater) in our apartment for nearly 3 years that the rental company has failed to address. Joe was only responsible for replacing the water heater but quickly identified our issue, diagnosed the source of the problem and proceeded to caulk all areas where air was seeping through. It now appears to be a non-issue. On top of the service he provided, his overall professionalism was also noteworthy. Joe was incredibly respectful of our space. His actions were very thoughtful and he made me feel comfortable from the first interaction. Thanks Joe! read more

My home warranty provider stuck me with this outfit. They never called back to schedule and appointment nor did they ever answer their phone or return several voicemails. Insisted that I call my own plumber and A&R plumbing was on site in two hours. Would never recommend such a poor business. read more

Landmark charged $628.00 to unclog a shower drain. The plumber was very nice & timely, but I believe I was overcharged for 1.30 hours of work that was not an emergency repair. If I'm wrong & that's indeed the current covid-inspired-plumbing rate, then they should get more stars read more

As part of a contracted project in my neighborhood, D & Marcos installed all the hot waters on my street. Every day they arrived promptly, completed their work swiftly and efficiently, were very friendly and always cleaned up after each day. When they installed my hot water heater, they took the time to introduce themselves, explain the process, completed quality work and did not leave a mess, all while being super friendly when they saw me throughout the day. Great work and amazing customer service, highly recommend these guys for any water heater installation or plumbing issues. read more

I'm so impressed with Landmark Plumbing! Nick responded quickly to my request for an appointment, fixed the issue in a timely manner AND cleaned up better than I would have. Prompt, professional & friendly. I definitely recommend this company!! Thanks Nick! read more

I found a water damage in my drywall near my baseboard. I put a claim in to my warranty and within 24 hours, Nicholas had already found the leak and replaced the bad sewage pipe. He also made sure that my toilet was installed correctly to ensure the leak wasn't coming from there. He was professional and ensured that I had all the knowledge I needed to have the rest of the services completed. Thank you so much! I highly recommend Landmark Plumping Inc! read more

I want to highly recommend Nicholas and Landmark Plumbing for first rate and timely service at a reasonable price. I needed assistance with leaking plumbing and garbage disposal trouble shooting and repair. I called him late in the day for an appointment and he was able to work me in first thing the following morning. Not only did he fix my kitchen problems, but he also offered me very valuable advice regarding plumbing maintenance and long term care for appliances, etc. I have found a local plumbing expert that I plan to keep.

I want to start by saying that I run a small Inn, that means eleven toilets. I have used Nick on multiple occasions and every time has been a win. He shows up when he says he will and does exceptional work. I have worked with multiple plumbing companies in the are. Nick and his team have surpassed the competition. They get it done and leave the job site clean upon finishing. That makes me and my guests extremely happy. Keep up the good work, you're our go to guy! read more

Great service! We notified our landlord of our plumbing issue Sunday night and Landmark Plumbing came out the next day. They were friendly and quick. read more

It would take between 3-5 minutes to get hot water in my kitchen sink. I contacted Landmark Plumbing and within a few minutes they contacted me with a schedule for the next morning. They asked that I send them photos of the water heater and pump. Within a half hour they confirmed the problem just by the photos. They arrived a little earlier then expected and fixed the problem right away. Now I get hot water almost instantly. Nicholas did a fantastic job, thank you Landmark Plumbing read more

We were very pleased with Landmark Plumbing. Nick made accommodations to squeeze in a sink repair within 24 hours of our request. Ed was the plumber he sent over and he was prompt, thorough and very helpful. He explained to us what the problem was and we are very pleased with our new faucet and plumbing repairs. We definitely recommend them for your plumbing needs. read more

Very prompt and excellent service at reasonable rates. Landmark Plumbing came out the next morning to clean out our main lines. They called prior to arriving and showed up when they said they would. They were professional and took the time to listen to my concerns. read more

Awesome work... technician came and replaced my water heater in no time. He was friendly and knowledgeable... thank you

Who owns the "Mother of all drain snakes?" I'm a heating and plumbing contractor, and have done both heating and plumbing for the last 40 years. I just moved to California three years ago, and I now own Carmel Heating and Plumbing. Recently my house in Pacific Grove that I had just moved into developed some serious drain problems. In my plumbing work, I've often used a traditional spinning-snake-cage type of drain snake. Accordingly, I attempted to clear the blockage at my house with one of these, but with no luck. I had already lined up a contractor to replace the drain from the house to the middle of the street for approximately $7000. Then I spoke to Nick of Landmark Plumbing. Nick told me that he was the only one in the county who had a much stronger newer style of snake than the older spinning-snake-cage style of snakes. He told me that his snake uses shorter but thicker linked-sections instead. He said that his stronger snake had often been able to clear blockages that traditional spinning-snake-cage style snakes could not, and that I would probably be "pleasantly surprised" if I gave him a chance to clear our drains. Being a bit of a gambler, I thought, "What the heck? Spend a few hundred dollars more, then maybe save a few thousand, why not?" Lo and behold, Nick saved the day! The old bank account suddenly began looking a little bit more perky! I would strongly recommend Landmark Plumbing to anybody, before finally giving up hope on any older blocked sewer line. You just might have a pleasant surprise waiting for you too! read more

I had PG&E come out to turn my pilot light back on. They ended up finding a gas leak. Called Nick right away, he came out within 5 minutes. PG&E said they wouldn't turn my gas on until this was fixed. Nick jumped right on it and called the city for digging permit, have someone come out and mark digging area. He said he could take up to 5 days.. this was on a Thursday. Nick got the okay and started right away. He ended up finding out that the whole pipe needed to be replaced. I explained to him that I had a young daughter and 5 days with no home wont work for me. Nick worked until sunset. He worked hard to get my daughter and I back into out home. Everything took 3 days- re-piping, new valves on appliances and PG&E to come back out to re-inspect. Nick was very friendly, kind, fast worker and had a lot of humor to get me through this hard time. So thank you Nick! Defiantly will use this company again. read more

Nick from Landmark came to our place to fix our kitchen sink that was leaking. He was able to figure out the problem in literally less than a minute. He replaced our whole faucet and made sure everything was working accordingly. Explained everything to me before he did the work and kept a clean work area. Overall great experience. Friendly and helpful service. Thank you. read more

Had them out to snake the main sewer line. 2 guys arrive within the agreed upon timeframe. One was inexperienced, based on frequent verbal corrections and instructions he received from the partner. No trouble at first, as people need to learn the trade, but those mistakes slowed the job and I paid for the extra time. It would have been more courteous to bill a lower hourly rate for the trainee. Once the drain was snaked and they began putting away their equipment, the lead guy had me fill out my personal info on a blank invoice and walked away to complete the paperwork. He came back with the completed invoice and gave me the option of cash or check. When I said "cash", he said I should have told him that before he filled out the invoice, that he'd have given a discount on the total. That seemed insincere given the order of events, but I wasn't in the mood to argue/haggle over the situation. I paid the invoice and they left. This last part is my mistake for not inspecting the jobsite after they were finished, but before agreeing to the charges and paying. They hadn't done a thorough cleanup of the sewer overflow. Also, the rookie had used the rear-neighbor's water and water hose, but left the hose trailed out into the driveway of yet another neighbor. At least he'd turned the water off. TL;DR: Got the job done, but a bit sloppy. Let them know up front if you're paying in cash. Ask for a discount on the hourly rate of any personnel still in training. read more

We had a stoppage in the kitchen and laundry area. The owner/operator went above and beyond to make sure the job was complete. Not only did he clear the area with the stoppage he checked and worked on the other areas of the house at no additional charge. Landmarks rates were very reasonable. I will be calling them again to work on moving my laundry hookups and replacing a vanity in the master bathroom. read more

Excellent service - prompt - courteous and efficient. Definitely recommend this company for your plumbing needs. Nick quickly identified and explained the problem - then fixed it expertly. All of this was done with a handshake and a smile. We have FINALLY found an excellent plumber and intend to call them for all of our plumbing needs. An honest and professional company. read more
