I highly recommend using David Peterson as a plumber. He literally saved us from being scammed by another plumber that gave my mother a ridiculous price. I will call him every time I need a plumber and will recommend him to all of my friends. Thanks again Dave read more

We discovered our water heater was leaking. Fortunately, Dave was referred to us. He responded quickly and came in the same day to install a new heater. He saved the day! Nice guy too! Profesional and reliable. Give him a call if you're in need of plumbing service. read more

It was the worst services I have ever had. James gave me a quote of $275, but charged me $352 at last without doing extra work. I agreed to use a box for sprinkler valve, but the one he chose was too big, and he said I wasted his money. It was so unreasonable for he could return the box to the store for a full refund. He didn't do an insultion for the pipe for the drinking water in front of my house. The pvc pipe would be exposed to UV and cause harm to drinking water and degrade year by year. He replaced my brass valve with a cheaper plastic one, but insisted he used heavy duty materials. I sent him message that I wasn't happy with his work and needed insulation, but he said I was racist and refused to come back. If you want a professional friendly plumber, do not go to him. read more

Chris is the main plumber for Peterson and he's a hard working young family man. He lives all the way out in Tracy, but works all over the East Bay, including our Bradford water heater out on Alameda island. Even though I work with my hands for living, it's in the arts and so I understand that it's not always easy to work with some people in the trades because they live a different life than people who work in offices all day. But Chris is a genuine and courteous guy and I found it easy to communicate with him and I think he works with customers well. So, I'd definitely recommend Chris for your work. read more

Peterson Plumbing was referred to us by the store from whom we bought our kitchen and bathroom fixtures during a remodel in 2000. By 2014, some maintenance was needed by many of the fixtures, e.g. leaky faucets, leaky diverter valves, etc., and we needed a new water softener. Stuart Dennis, the nephew of the owner (it is truly a family business), came out to give us a quote. He gave us a specific quote for each item that needed repair and when the job was done that is exactly what the charge was. The work was of good quality and on time, and they did a nice job of cleanup afterwards. I want to add that the quality of the work they did was not only good, but in one case, it was quite creative. The water main into the house and the pressure regulator were hidden behind sheetrock in the garage. The water main wasn't working and I wanted them to add an isolation valve to the line to the garden. Stuart opened the sheetrock up carefully, minimizing damage to the wall, and replumbed the copper, relocating the pressure regulator so that once the sheetrock is closed up again, the pressure regulator, isolation and bypass valves to the house, garden sprinklers and the water softener will be accessible outside the sheetrock. It's a nice piece of copper sculpture, in my opinion; very neat, compact and tidy. Well done! I would definitely use them again. read more

I am so glad we found a recommendation for Peterson Plumbing Co. on our local NextDoor site! We called Dave because we had a bit of an emergency with a water pipe that sprung a leak. Dave came out right away on a Saturday. He found the leak quickly and made the necessary repairs. He actually made it better because he added a shut off for this particular water line. His service was fast and professional. We are planning on asking him back soon to replace some old faucets, etc. We used to call the big companies that spend big $$ on advertising but never again! Only small family businesses from now on. We highly recommend Dave Peterson of Peterson Plumbing Co. read more

Highly recommend David Peterson for any of your plumbing needs for many reasons. He is very experienced and knows his trade. He is honest and patient with explanations. His price was very reasonable. We got Peterson Plumbing referral from a friend after having another plumber and the city out to our house to address a main line clog of tree roots. David Peterson went about solving our problem, trying many different approaches and techniques until he solved the issue. David worked at the roots and would show us updates with the scope camera and keep us well informed. He worked for a long time yesterday and said he would need to return with bigger equipment. He would not take any money he said until this job was done. David called first thing this morning and returned with more equipment. He worked for hours until we were all satisfied with what we saw on the camera. He had significantly removed a large root mass causing our problem. He then went on to do some other repairs in a shower. David's experience in his trade and his customer service is what makes me highly recommend this business. He was more focused on completing the job and making sure things were ok. The first plumber was young but more focused on how much he would charge for each thing he would do and he left knowing the problem was not fixed. David Peterson's prices were way more reasonable and we got superior skills and service. read more

Taylor responded to my call immediately. He was very effective and timely in getting the job done. He clearly knows what he is doing. He does all the plumbing himself...he doesn't farm it out to others. He is expensive but well well worth it. I will always head in his direction the next time I have a plumbing issue. MH read more

Once again we needed help unclogging our kitchen drain......Chris came out and did the job quickly and on time. We really recommend Peterson Plumbing for anyone who needs help in Alameda. Thanks! read more

Run, do not walk from Peterson Plumbing!!!!!!!! Dealing with the owner Dave was a nightmare. He thinks of himself as a emergency service only. Forget anything about respect and courtesy. There are a lot of other very qualified plumbers out there and in all of my years of being a homeowner, I have never encountered anyone as rude as Dave!!!! read more

I had a clogged shower drain and called them. Chris was finishing another job in my area so was able to be at my house within 20 minutes! He took care of the problem really quickly. Because I only have one shower, it was a lifesaver!! I would definitely call them again for any work I would need. read more

This truly is a company that gives fast and reasonable service and we are just so sorry that we used someone else to install kitchen plumbing that burst and flooded our kitchen and family room and cost us a month of being torn up and $6,000. Always polite and would never use anyone else. Wish we had more businesses that give this kind of service! read more

We've been using Peterson Plumbing for years, and honestly have only had good experiences with them. We use them regularly in our commercial buildings, as well as our residential units, and in our personal home. Dave and Stuart have always showed up when they said they would, and are very honest and communicative about what they find, and what is needed. They repair things quickly and efficiently, and follow up as necessary, They will never leave a job unfinished -- I very much appreciate that I've never had to call to have them go back and "finish" something. If you want a fair price, for work done right - this is the family business to use! read more

Recommended by our happy next door neighbor, Dave and Chris both offered their expertise and advice on a water heater leak. Besides doing an excellent job on the water heater replacement, Chris noticed a couple of leaking valves during the job and took care of their replacements as well. He's patient and courteous in explaining the issues, offered good insights and advice. Highly recommended. read more

I scheduled an appointment with Peterson Plumbing based on a recommendation from The Plumbery in Dublin. They never showed up, and did not make a courtesy call to notify me of a conflict. I would expect better from a company that bills itself as providing "Personal, Friendly Service". read more

I have had tremendous help from Peterson. They are knowledgeable, thorough, kind and punctual. Look no further for a great plumbing company! read more

I needed a stubborn toilet cleared out, and a (separate) new toilet installed. Peterson was one of the shops recommended by my local hardware store. Dave sent out two fellows (originally from Michigan) who did a fine job. They noticed a blemish on the new toilet and returned it for a pristine one, cleared the drain, installed the new porcelain throne and took my credit card for payment. They were prompt, careful but quick, friendly and respectful. I'd use them again on future projects. read more

Best most honest plumber I have ever used. Dave is a true craftsman and knows his art. He carefully explains your problems to you and gives you all your options. He also refuses to use sub par materials. Bottom line you can't find a better plumber for your home. read more

I got their name from the filter distributor for my reverse osmosis system. They sent two different technicians who both gave me different diagnosis, finally recommended I get a new tank for $150, (but I found one online for $50), and then when it turned out it didnt really need a tank, that it was another part, they ignored my emails and calls for 4 weeks, until I finally got the part from the manufacturer and installed it myself. Horrible customer service and lack of care for the customer. read more

LOVE these guys! Clean cut, and professional. Dave explained everything he found and fixed in a way anyone could understand. No games! They seem to have every plumbing tool you could ever need. No "sorry I can't do that today I don't have the tools" from these guys! They respected my place as if it was their own. The only reason I knew they were here was because EVERYTHING WAS FIXED AND WORKING!!!! No mess. I would recommend Peterson Plumbing to ANYONE with plumbing needs. Thanks Dave! read more

We've used Peterson to replace the all toilets in out house. Chris was the plumber that did the work and he was terrific! Very nice and professional. He did a great job and was very careful and respectful of keeping things clean. We have newly installed carpets and Chris was great about keeping them spotless. The whole effort was painless and easy. I can't recommend Chris and Peterson highly enough. read more

It makes a difference when the plumber has someone to handle his calls professionally when he's on the job. Brittany was courteous and scheduled service for me within 24hrs. I spoke with the owner the following day and he was professional and honest in his a follow up and offered pre-emptive solutions to head off future issues which I appreciate as an owner on a budget. I trust I can call on them anytime and they will help me in every way that they can. read more

I have used them on a number of projects at my house and recommend them to friends and family. They are great! Always professional, courteous and reliable. It is nice to know there are good service people out there. read more

Peterson Plumbing is the best! We've used them several times and they are courteous, prompt, and professional. Most recently, we called because our garbage disposal was stopped up, and Dave walked us through how we could possibly fix it ourselves. Sure enough, we were able to do it! Dave is friendly and helpful! Some problems aren't that easily solved and we will ALWAYS use this plumbing service, They are the best. read more

I used Yelp and called a 5 star plumber who said he could't fix my upgrade Kohler when he came to my home. I went to where I bought it and they mentioned Peterson Plumbing. That was the best call for maintenance I've made in many years. On the first call, David knew exactly what type of plumbing I had and instead of me paying $65 for the part, referred me to Kohler who sent it to me free under their lifetime warrantee policy. Dave not only fixed my problem on his first visit but also a couple on my to-do list. He is new to the area but not to plumbing. He is a Master Plummer with more training and skills than anyone I've used in the past 5 years. I would recommend him to anyone who wants someone who is really a "pro" and not just a plumber. read more

If you need a routine check on your toilet, definitely look elsewhere to get better pricing. They charged me $170 to change my flapper and fill valve, which took about 15 minutes. I should have just watched a 10 minute YouTube clip, bought the $25 in parts at the hardware store, and done it myself. read more

When my wife and I moved into our house 18 months ago, there was an electric range. My wife prefers gas. The house was set up for both, so when we found a nice Bosch gas range at 1/2 price, the conversion should have been easy. I called Peterson Plumbing because he is local. The conversion wasn't easy - anything that might have gone wrong did go wrong. Dave Peterson spent four hours here on a Tuesday and could not complete the task. He was back with an assistant on Thursday for another 1 1/2 hours before everything worked. At the end, he gave me a bill for $165, including parts. I said to him, "Are you sure that's enough? You guys put quite a few hours into this project!" He replied, "Well, there's usually a $60 service fee, but I waived that because you're a neighbor. Besides, it was partly my fault." I gratefully paid the $165, and Peterson Plumbing has a customer for life. read more
