These guys are the best! So super duper nice and they get the job done promptly, accurately and at a fair price. I actually decided not to go through my home insurance and simply get the job done with these guys. It's fantastic doing business with people you trust and like! read more

Dave did a fantastic job. The new water heater would not fit the pan that was installed in the cabinet and a new round one would not allow the door to closed. Dave found someone to fabricate a square pan and everything fit. The alternative was to extend the cabinet into the hallway. Thanks Dave, for all your hard work. read more

There are 2 ways to describe this company- RIP OFF AND GROSS INCOMPETENCE. If I could give zero stars, I would. They have ruined my whole system. My warranty company assigned them as the plumber to address two separate issues. I was having in my house. First of all, it took them over a month to come out and even look at my problem. They also never answer the phone and seldom returned a phone call. Even when the technician that was assigned, Jose, clearly didn't know what he was doing, his supervisor David, never came to my house, despite repeated conversations with him telling me he would. Come to find out after having a second opinion, Jose installed the pump to my water heater backwards and didn't put a sensor on it as it had been before. This caused the pump to constantly run and pull all my cold water into the water heater burning it out leaving me without cold water in my house and zero water pressure in various places in my house. As a result, my dishwasher and washing machine do not work properly as well as many other faucets in my house. He also broke the main line when he tried to turn my water off, and I had to get the city of Long Beach out to remedy the situation. In addition after 2 costly video inspections and even paying extra for them to simply remove a toilet, they still could not identify the source of a backup. I have attached pictures of the parthat was broken and the one that was replaced without a sensor and installed incorrectly as well as Jose at my kitchen sink dumbfounded by what he had done. DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE IN YOUR HOME !! read more

This company was assigned to me through my home warranty insurance. The last Saturday of the year, right before Christmas and believable it or not - they made my day. My assigned technician Robert Bentino; awesome guy - honest and no non-scene. Did his job, got my pipe cleaned and everything back to normal in less than hour. Thank you!

This business is a scam. They never got back to you after taking your money. Their customer service is never reachable when I tried to call them several times and it went straight to the voice mail. I don't know if they are still in the business or what but it's definitely the worst Plummer that I have ever encountered. read more

Daniel came and did a great Expedient job ! Will definitely reach out again, thanks Daniel!

David Garcia came to our house referred by our home warranty company to fix our shower pressure and our laundry room faucet. David was very professional and was able to fix both things promptly and with a smile. Thanks for the great service! read more

I had a plumbing emergency on 9/13 and the home warranty company sent Plumber Boy to do the work. The person that came was not knowledgeable and very unprofessional. He made up diagnoses for what he didn't know. I found he was incorrect with two of his diagnoses thankfully, otherwise I'd be out $200 for one of the issues he proposed we had, and who knows how much to completely replace our new toilet. He broke our drain cover to snake out the drain in the shower, which he was unsuccessful at doing and said he'd be back to complete work and never came back. On top of all of that he also had his butt crack hanging out the entire time. Pretty gross for anyone to see but a 20-something should have learned from his forefather's butt crack stereotype and tied a belt on or at least wore underwear. I definitely would not want them working on my home again. read more

My home warranty referred me to plumber boy. It took a little less than a week for them to look at my water heater. Then another five days for them to come and replace it. When they were finished replacing the water heater I was told in a roundabout way that the hot water may not work. I'm currently sitting in my house a day later with hot water that does not work. Not because I have not paid my water and power bill or gas bill but because plumber boy will have to come back out to fix the problem. I will not be using this company again. read more

Our garbage disposal broke and caused a leak under our sink, over a month ago they said they would call back to verify coming and repairing the unit / leak. They have not even answered the phone a single time after contacting them repeatedly several times a week. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Loved that Garcia David was on time and he was wearing a mask.. He was fast, friendly and professional.

I used plumber boy a few months ago when my upstairs bathtub wasn't draining I called and spoke with Denny and David came about 20 minutes later , he was very nice and professional and informative , he worked and got the drain all cleaned out and we were back in action Today I walked into a literal nightmare , my upstairs was backing out into my downstairs bathroom , it was like gushing , I freaked out and called Plumber boy They had a guy who was finishing up on another job come out , Daniel arrived and pretty quickly assessed what the problem Was ( main sewer drain was clogged ) and started working, he asked me Questions about the property and we discussed Maintenence and other options I feel like everything was extremely professional and that Daniel , much like David was a very down to earth thorough professional , I have given their business card to a few of my friends and I take comfort knowing a have a professional plumbing service I can rely on should I have any issues in the future read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. I too was referred to this company by my home warranty company. The first guy who showed up was basically an apprentice he did not posses the knowledge or the proper tools to unclog my drain. He left (without the tools he did bring) and said another guy would be back. David Garcia showed up and after an assessment tells me I need all new pipes under my house because the pipes are level and not at an incline per building code and that I have a leak in one of those pipes. In addition he feels I should install a new trap in the front of my house. Of course his company can do all of this work for me. When I ask about the problem they were called out to fix he tells us it's fixed, yet the tub is still full of water and not draining. He goes back outside and 15 minutes later tells me he was incorrect in his original assessment and has now decided that the blockage goes beyond the 125 feet my home warranty covers and therefore there is nothing he can do. Unfortunately they were unable to perform the job they were hired to do which was unclog the drain and they told me they would be unwilling to fix the leak in the pipe under the house because "they're plumbers but not nasty plumbers" and therefore don't work with sewage. I called another plumber out today and within 3 hours not only was my blockage cleared but the leaking pipe was replaced too. It wasn't leaking sewage, it was leaking water. In addition my pipes are not level as David claimed, they're angled. If your home warranty company tries to send this company out, demand another plumber. read more

These guys were assigned to us via a warranty. They somehow told us they don't cover what is wrong with our plumbing over the phone without even knowing what the issue is. Worst waste of time ever. So we have a bad smell coming from the dishwasher (8 months old Samsung) and now Abbas smell is coming from our shower drain and stinking up the bathroom. We've tried everything: * drano * white vinegar & baking soda * drain snake * Bleach So of course I googled it and YouTube'd it and found a possible culprit. Our drain vent could be clogged with debris (vent usually comes out of your pipes to vent sewage smell on your roof). In the video a plumber cleared the blockage and problem was solved. Kevin at Plumber Boy stated they don't cover smells. There is a problem with the pipes (a clog that is causing the smell) so you do cover clogged pipes right? You're a plumber right? He insisted they do not cover or help with smells so again I had to explain it was possibly a clogged drain vent pipe. I'm no plumber that's your job sir but you need to come fix this and thanks. Nope. Kevin said, "Can't come out, not covered." I insisted and Kevin answered, "we'll send someone out late in the day but it won't be to fix the issue just to assess and we probably won't cover the issue as it's not a plumbing issue." Seriously? I've never met a plumber that turned away business, this is a first and also the last time I ever call these guys for help. read more

If I could give less than one star I would. This company has been out to try to repair my kitchen plumbing problems since August and yet to date the stoppage is still not repaired. This is the fourth time they are going to try to fix the problem. The problem is probably their employees but it is their company. Along with leaks and stoppages they also had to replace the kitchen faucet. When the plumber showed me what they were going to replace it with, of course, the cheapest they could find, I told the plumber I did not want it and I would rather get a cash out from the warranty company. He installed it anyway and now they won't remove it and Fidelity Home Warranty will not give me a cash out. These two companies are the worst. Don't use them!! I have the stoppage again and its Thanksgiving in a few days. Neither of these companies care!!! As soon as, or when this issue is fixed I intend to change home warranty companies and I will never allow Plumber Boy to work on my property again. read more

When my wife and I were working on purchasing a house in December, we used Plumber Boy based on a recommendation of our realtor. We were really happy with how friendly and efficient they were in doing the initial sewer line inspection. No issues came up during that inspection, but later we began to experience the heart ache of home ownership and had a few mysterious plumbing issues start to surface. We immediately reached out to Plumber Boy again. Once again David and his team were amazing and thorough. Turns out there was a major plumbing issue under the foundation in the basement. David told us that not only could he do the needed camera work to figure out where the problem was, but that he could do all the work to get the plumbing fixed including the concrete work. After getting a second quote from another plumber, who wouldn't do the concrete work, we knew that Plumber Boy was not only going to be a better price, they were a much better value and experience. The entire team was professional and were careful to contain their work debris and clean up afterward. After getting a view of what had been put in, there were a few more issues that expected. But Plumber Boy not only made sure the job was done, and more importantly done right. Without a doubt, we will call Plumber Boy the next time we need some work done. read more

We had a water leak in our house. We called Plumber Boy through our home warranty, Fidelity National, which is awful. The plumber came out and did the work the first time. I noticed one of the toilets still had a leak and I called them back. The person there wouldn't do any work since the water was not actively leaking. This is because I had shut off the water to the toilet. I would definitely not recommend them. A lot of better plumbers available on Yelp. read more

Jeff showed up on time super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly He was great We will use him again read more

Worst company ever!!! Plumber came to look at my leaking pipes, took pics and said he would be back another day to change the pipes. Appointment got cancelled and rescheduled by the company. When the plumber came to fix my pipe the following week, he bought the wrong pipes and said he would be back the next day again with the right one. Called company to find out the ETA, and they said the pipe fix wasn't covered by my home warranty and I would have to pay $650 out of pocket!!!! Called back my home warranty, and they said it was completely covered! This company is a crook! Will not deal with them again! Bad and shady service. read more

We had a home warranty claim for a clogged main line and David Garcia from Plumber Boy was sent out to save us. When David promptly arrived he had a mask on for COVID precautions and was very professional. He was knowledgeable and fully explained the plumbing situation I was dealing with. He quickly solved our issue and completed the job with a smile. Much appreciated, thanks David! read more

This is my first tentative review simply as to the process of calling them regarding emergency all night plumbing work. I was on hold with music for a while then routed to an individual, who was VERY helpful, patient, explained things, suggested alternatives to avoid the added emergency costs of nighttime repair, etc. Definitely a good experience, easy to communicate. They currently (Aug 2017) charge for mid night emergency repairs $170/hr vs. i think $80 or 85/hr in the day. To me that's reasonable for an emergency and the daytime rate also is reasonable. As a knowledgeable do-it-yourselfer, you can run into all kinds of extra parts, spend hours driving back and forth to plumbing supplies or home depots etc., and my situation is unusual and thus could be catastrophic for me to get into it as a diy type (even with carpentry background). Anyway, I liked their manner, upbeat, helpful, not pushy, not irritated. they get 5 stars for Customer service and interaction. If i get them to come out and do the work (right now i'm holding out to see if it will last to tomorrow and my landlord will choose this plumber or whoever my landlord chooses...) but if they do come out and do the work, rather than someone my landlord uses, i will update this review. In the meantime 5 Stars for kind patient helpful interaction at this a almost 10pm on a tuesday night. read more

I do not recommend this company at all. We rent and the owners have a warranty company that contracted the work for them to come out and fix the leak in our shower. When he was here he saw the diverter was stuck in the shower position and then proceeded to break it to where it was only able to be used as a bath. He then stated that he would need to buy a new diverter tub spout and needed to confirm with the owners the type of finish for the spout. I was able to get the property ownership company on the line and they told me to tell them to just get a certain finish. The guy just shook his head ok and said he will be back. He even left a tool behind so I felt better that he would be back in a day or two at tops. After 2 days I called the office and the lady told me that it could take up to a week to get the warranty company to approve the purchase. I waited a week and when no word from them I called again but nobody answered so I left a voicemail. I continued to try again every few days but still nothing. I even tried to call the plumber back directly all voicemail. I was left without a working shower for 22 days when finally my property ownership called another company out of pocket. I'm sure the warranty company has some play into this but the fact that the Plumber Boy company wouldn't answer any calls or return calls is extremely unprofessional. Clearly seeing on this page it's not the first time they have done this and I'm sure won't be there last. read more

Plumber boy charged me double-triple what the cost should have been and they do not know what they are doing as the plumber that visited me had problems at every turn. I have experience in this stuff too and if I had the tools I would do it myself. They should be ashamed taking advantage of people. Get 3 estimates in writing from other plumbers before you decide and don't let Plumber Boy nickle and dime you upwards. It was an extremely unpleasant experience being taken for a ride by this plumber. read more

David is the best! Check out his fine work on installing a new tankless water heater. No more cold showers! David hooked this up a day after his visit. Prompt and fast response/quick turnaround - highly recommend and appreciated. read more

Plumber Boy - Plumbing Near Me - San Pedro, California

Plumber Boy is an excellent company. From diagnosing my issue with two showers to acquiring parts from across the country (and international) to fixing the problems, Plumber Boy (especially Denny and David) were phenomenal. They did not give up, communicated clearly and were great to work with. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Worst Customer service provided by their so called plumber (Ken). Definitely not a company I would recommend. One simple employee can make a huge difference on the appearance of the entire company. I was assigned this company by my Home Warranty Insurance Company for a plumbing issue. I do have to admit other employees such as Jeni, who scheduled my appointment was amazing and very friendly. From that contact I felt comfortable and was looking forward to this whole experience. At the day of the appointment Ken shows up. Without even greeting he starts to ask questions. These questions could seem normal to some but the way they were presented, felt as if we were being interrogated. Most awful personality. Once he asked what he wanted he turned around and started walking away. My partner who was behind him tried to ask a question and got our home door shut in front of his face by this Ken person. Now how rude is it to have some complete stranger shut your own door in your face. When asked why he did it, he kept walking towards his car and said, "wait for a call from Fidelity." So for having this particular plumber out to my house resolved nothing. I am back to square one in not knowing what my issue was. I immediately called the companies office again and expressed my dislike on this person. Jeni picked up the line and assured me that they would make sure this didn't happen again. I do appreciate the call from Jeni and her supervisor but that doesn't change the awful experience their technician left for me. I would give more stars but I'm going based solely on what I experienced from Ken at my home. So watch out if Ken gets assigned to go to your home, this man is just plain RUDE! read more

Do not use these guys....they don't care about you. You are just a number to them. They are so busy that they will do anything to get out of your house quickly. Called them and not only did they reschedule me once but when they came, they stayed 10 minutes and said they couldn't help and left. Do not use these guys. I've worked with great plumbers before and these guys aren't them!!!! read more

Very dissatisfied with David the owner. He is apparently unprofessional. I have called him for three days straight to ask him for a breakdown of my bill for the charges that the home warranty company did not cover. Plumber Boy demanded payment upfront for the work but took no responsibility to issue an invoice when the job was completed. It took two days to get a copy of the invoice with just a total and another day and multiple calls to finally received the invoice details. David has refused to make courtesy call to a customer. I will NOT use his company again. read more

Insurance company sent out two plumbers before Plumber Boys came to the rescue. First plumber gave up without trying anything. Second snaked the line and said that he was going to need to replace the pipes. $1800!? He was suppose to hydro jet and didn't even try... David and Robert showed up the next day and had the pipes cleared faster than my toilet flushes! I will use them again in the future if needed and will be recommending them to anyone that has any plumbing problems. This is a professional and knowledgeable company. Great job guys! Thanks very much! read more

Outstanding service at an affordable price. After going thru four different companies who couldn't find or fix the issue, we found the best outfit in South Bay. Dave and his team were very professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly dependable! They kept us appraised of our situation with great customer service and took made a major repair affordable finishing the project ahead of schedule and under budget. Don't waste your time with anyone but the best. I highly recommend them and know who to call for our planned remodel project! read more

First and foremost, I want to say HANDS DOWN, the folks of Plumber Boy are the absolute best to work with. Plumber Boy fixed a broken shower valve that another company in my area failed miserably with. January 2017, I noticed that my master bedroom shower was only putting out scalding hot water, no cold water. My home warranty provider, Fidelity National, contracted a reputable plumbing company in Long Beach to do the fix. After a 5 minute visit to my house, the plumber determined the problem to be a broken temperature valve and said he would be back to fix the issue. Never came back. Then they sent another guy over, never came back. Then they sent a supervisor. He never came back. After 4 months of going back and forth with this company about why the problem was still not fixed (lots of waiting, vague answers, shady explanations, excuse after excuse), I finally had enough! I called Fidelity to send over a new plumber. May 2017, David of Plumber Boy (San Pedro) shows up at my house. From the first impression I knew this guy was all business. David took a look at the valve and immediately recognized it to be a hard-to-find, rare Kohler part that had to be special ordered from another state. He also said that the valve unit was complex and that a lot of work will be required to get the old parts out, and the new parts in. He said it wasn't going to be easy but that he would get it done. Basically, the other company quit on the job because the job was too complicated. Being disappointed in the past, I was a bit skeptical. Over the next few weeks, David worked on the damn shower valve. During one visit, he spent 3 hours straight with it. The problem was way more complicated than we initially thought but he never gave up. Guy was one the phone looking for parts, driving all over southern California to find things and just dealing with the whole situation like a beast! There was also a time when his supervisor and colleague came by to help. They were all determined to get things right, regardless of how long it took or how difficult it was. Fast forward to today, I now have a shower that works PERFECTLY. Long story short, Plumber Boy is the ish. If you want an honest, no-nonsense, professional plumbing company to work with - these are the experts to call! My man David was awesome. He was professional, courteous, upfront and honest, provides timely updates, doesn't give up, and always on time at the house. His work is SOLID. Thank you Plumber Boy plumbing! Your response was very impressive. My family thanks you for your service and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company to anyone who has plumbing issues. read more

Their technician was really awesome. There was a little snafu with the scheduling, but in the end, it all worked out well. Highly recommend.

Dave is the nicest, most professional and best plumber we have EVER had! My son has special needs (and often I get worried with contractors in my home) and they really went above and beyond to make sure all was done perfect and super clean. He and his team become friends and I am so grateful for their hard work and dedication to fix our issue! I highly, highly recommend Dave and Plumber Boy! Best in the business and we will forever be thankful!! read more

This company is very unprofessional. They left the job site a complete mess. They turned off the gas to all my tenant's units and didn't notify anyone of this and didn't relight the pilot lights to any of the water heaters. I called back to complain and I was lied to that they didn't turn the gas off at the main only at the water heater they were replacing. All of my tenants complained of a gas smell after they left the job. They said it was a coincidence that the other water heaters are not working now and that I would have to call in another work order from my home warranty company. I wouldn't have this plumber touch my kid's toy house let alone your house or a rental unit ever again. Total crooks! If there were negative stars I would apply them to this company. read more

We recently bought a house and have worked with a bunch of professionals. This was the first that I would give anything below 4 stars. We were assigned Plumber Boy through our Home Warranty coverage. The plumber came to do a simple toilet leak fix and left our place a mess. He threw away the toilet pump and some filthy piping into our small waste basket next to the toilet. He also managed to go over and get stuff all over my wife's purse and makeup bag, even though they weren't close to where he was working. Maybe while washing his hands? Generally lacked any normal professional courtesy. The guy also quoted us for another job, and the quote was more than double a standing quote we had. read more

I was very impressed with the level of speed, professionalism and attention to detail David and his crew treated our broken sewer pipe with. David was able diagnose our problem within minutes and had our plumbing working better than when we bought our home. I am going call plumber boy for any future plumbing issues. Keep up the good work guys!! read more

The cats knocked my tweezers down the bathroom sink drain - the third pair in the last couple months... and knocked them open side up. I had my husband remove the trap under the sink but, in doing so, he twisted a bit too hard and snapped the pipe protruding from the wall in half. I'd noticed there was a little corrosion on the top of that pipe. I didn't realize it was about to completely disintegrate. My husband, much annoyed at this point, fished out my tweezers, handed them to me and said, "Well, here are your damn tweezers... and now, we need a plumber." So... I got on the computer and looked up plumbers in our area, found Plumber Boy, read all the glowing reviews, sent a message explaining our issue and, even though it was about 7 in the evening and after their work hours, David wrote me back at 11 PM that same night. I called him back in the morning. Let me just say, even the phone call was pleasant. I could tell this was a guy who enjoyed his work but who was also fair and reasonable. This Friday after a holiday weekend so I didn't expect him to rush out that same day or even on Saturday. Figured someone this nice with such great reviews here is probably in high demand. We set up an appointment for the following Monday and, in the meantime, my husband and I just brushed our teeth over the tub and toilet. :) David gave me a window between 2 and 4 that afternoon. He arrived at 2:30. He was great with our crazy dogs, managed to squeeze into our tiny bathroom, assessed the situation and said it was actually better than he expected. He explained everything he was going to do in lay terms that I could understand - and then he went to work doing everything he said he was going to do... and also pointed out our toilet was leaking water and offered to fix that as well. Oh, you bet! And he did. All this, in about an hour! And his rates - let's just say my husband warned me plumbers were super expensive... and that this was not the case at all. Plumber Boy is VERY reasonable and David is honest and fair. I liked that a lot. David - a fantastic person doing good work. I told him, as he was leaving, that although I hoped I wouldn't be seeing him anytime real soon (knock on the pipes that all pipes stay intact), you better believe I'm going to be calling him again the next time we have a plumbing issue. For as long as he's local and as long as we are, too, Plumber Boy is the plumber we'll be calling any time we have a plumbing issue from now on. David is THE BEST! And he's good with crazy, barking dogs, too. read more

Came out right away, did the work as promised Price was reasonable, everyone was friendly and worked hard to replace the sewer pipe, even under the house. I recommend them. Didn't have any problems with them read more

My home warranty company assigned Plumber Boy to look at my garbage disposal. The technician took less than 30 seconds to determine there was a foreign object and it would not be covered under warranty. When I inquired further, he said there was a plastic bag. He told me it was going to be expensive to repair because of the type of disposal I had. He quoted $250. I told him I wanted to see evidence of the bag. He couldn't produce anything. I told him to call my warranty company. He told them he saw a plastic bag. I called the warranty company to have another plumbing company come out. This time, the technician did not find any foreign objects. He even explained that the noise I was still hearing was because the powerful motor was rattling the stainless steel sink. I am so disappointed in Plumber Boy for trying to convince me to spend $250 unnecessarily. read more

David arrived at our house after our water heater broke. He was fantastic, being very respectful of masks and was informative of the issues. He got it working again temporarily which was a savior, but also when it broke again he spent 15 minutes on the phone with me walking through steps on how to fix myself. After that didn't work, he worked hard to fit us in for a full replacement on short notice. Once he was done, it all worked and we've had no issues since. Would call again if had any issues. read more
