In March, my main water valve leaked. I called Preferred late on Sunday. Preferred advised me that Scheduling would call, which they did within a short time. I set up an appointment for the next day. Early on Monday. Preferred called to confirm the appointment. Plumbing Technician, Roderick Ford #52, contacted me and confirmed his arrival. Rod arrived promptly. I advised him of my issue. Rod completed a thorough examination and provided an estimate, which was lower than my two prior bids. Rod replaced the water value and completed my invoice very timely. I am very pleased with Rod and his professionalism and efficiency. If I need plumbing services in the future, I will call Preferred Plumbing. read more

The plumber didn't cover his dirty work boots. He then proceeded to get shit toilet water all over our bathroom floor which he was stepping in and walked through our house several times. When he was done he said he would grab cleaning supplies from his truck but instead just left. When I later was cleaning the floors I noticed that he had busted the seal around the base of the toilet. 10/10 don't recommend. read more

I agree wholeheartedly with the person who wrote "Do not use this company." I had an emergency plumbing situation with hot water running at full speed in my bathtub. The flow would not stop even though I turned the dial as far as I could with both hands. A representative from this company located in Sacramento, CA promised me that someone would be able to come the next morning at 11:00 a.m. He said that, even though it was Easter, there would be no additional charge. He said he would relay this all to the "girls," as he put it (do we refer to women as girls? we shouldn't) taking over in the morning. But the "girls" (no, women) knew nothing about it in the morning. Then I was transferred to dispatch, who told me that it was "more likely" that someone would be able to come the next day. "More likely"? So you don't even know? This is a pathetic company. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. read more

I had an amazing experience with Preferred Plumbing & Drain from start to finish. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I especially appreciated that they called ahead to ask what time would work best -- this meant a lot since it was my daughter's first day of school. They also called to let me know when the plumber was on the way, which helped me plan my day better. We initially had someone come out the day before, but the snake machine wasn't enough for the job. The company was super helpful in explaining everything we needed to do next and made sure the process was smooth. Once everything was approved, Vincent came out to take care of our very backed-up drain. He was professional, polite, and kept us informed every step of the way. He even cleaned up the mess in our front yard -- which we truly appreciated! We've worked with other plumbing companies in the past, but hands down, this was the best service we've ever received. If you're looking for a reliable, professional plumbing company that goes above and beyond, definitely give Preferred Plumbing & Drain a call. Highly recommended! Ask for Vincent he is amazing! read more

Jesus was AMAZING! We are working with a rental management company and they came out right away. They fixed the drain issue and installed the new dishwasher.

Thank you for being an amazing professional Jesus! read more

12/14/2022 Shout out to the tech that cam out to my apartment today. Through thoughtful and hella funny. My landlord what a compliment but head to the guys while there were trying to complete there work which prolonged the precess. But I kept telling the tech that I just grateful for not walking out of the job because my landlord was being so difficult to deal with. Personally it was nice to have someone else from outside understand why I hate having to ask for work to be done. Nonetheless the work was able to be completed and everything is acutely working better than before they came out Thank you again read more

I was unhappy with repairs to shower/bath leaky valves. Management gave me a full refund.

This morning Lina and 2 assistants came to my home in Rio Vista to fix the water heater. She's the only female plumber I've ever seen in my life - very professional and responsible. Her patience and meticulousness were unmatched by many male plumbers. I'm very satisfied with her service. You are truly amazing, Lina! You are the pride of all women! read more

Had a plumbing problem this evening. Kitchen sink was clogged and plunging it did not help. Called Preferred Plumbing and they sent out a technician. "J" was his name. Very professional. Answered any questions I had. He snaked the line, cleared out the clog, checked the pipe connections and tested the water flow. Water drained out like normal. Job well done!! Very happy with the results. Will definitely use this plumbing service again! read more

I was starting to notice what I thought was mold coming from my sink. This was under the culking. I also had a leak. Now I've done some basic plumbing stuff before, but I wanted to hire someone to come out and possibly do this so that it was done right. When I called around, they had someone come out right away. The service was fairly quick. He cleaned up all the problems within the sink that were an issue. The overall service here was good, and I'm happy with how the quick repair went. I felt they had a good price when it came to the repair. I would work with them again in the future. read more

Posting an update: After my previous review, one of the managers, Ronnie, reached out to me. He explained how the tech that came to my house was only on his second call with the company and did not follow the right protocol. Ronnie apologized for the issue I faced, promised to update the training on their side, offered me a full refund on the service and additionally offered labor credit on the next job. I called preferred plumbing again for a shower clog in the shower. The tech that came this time was extremely knowledgeable in figuring out how to reach the clog, as it wasn't reachable directly from the shower drain. He was also upfront about the cost of the job. While other plumbing companies may also offer similar quality, I am happy that preferred plumbing addressed the feedback I submitted and made sure that I don't have a negative experience again. read more

Last month both toilets and both showers were plugged and overflowing. Ernie came out tried everything to clear the blockahe, finally having to go under the house. Once it finally cleared, it was recommended that the configuration of the back to back toilet pipes, be corrected. Today Perferred zplumbing sent Ernie and David to go under the house and correct the problem. They worked for hours and finally corrected the problem. Both gentlemen were fast, efficient and polite and I am very appreciative of their work and final result.​ read more

We called because our washer and dryer was creating an entire swimming pool in our apartment. The drain was clogged and it was making impossible to do laundry. Quaid was so polite, professional, and helpful. The work was done efficiently and didn't hinder all of the things I had to do. The cleanup was also great and I really appreciated the explanation. Would 100% recommend. read more

Very mean receptionist. I recently contacted the establishment, and I spoke with Kathrine whom I assume works at the front desk . She had a very off putting tone, and made me feel as if my concerns with my plumbing issues were invalid, and making her go out of her way to do the job she was hired for. Her tone was very aggressive and I do not believe she was very well trained for her job. read more

We just had the great good pleasure of working with Najee at Preferred Plumbing. We needed to have a washing machine drain plan installed before the appliance repair person came in. Preferred Plumbing called to see if they could come early. Very soon after, Najee showed up. He was courteous, respectful, and very knowledgeable. He gave me a very reasonable quote and completed the work promptly. Najee's professional work and personable demeanor work made it such a good experience. I highly recommend Preferred Plumbing and will ask for Najee for any future plumbing. read more

The technician did not show up to the appointment. I called and they couldn't have cared less that no one showed up on time. I was told they'd be there in 20 minutes several times, but no one showed up. When I questioned their business methods I was blasted with rudeness from them, while being accused of rudeness myself, for asking why they do this to their customers. Stay Away at all costs. Honest businesses do not operate this way. Update: He eventually showed up 2.5 hours late, but I had to turn him away because I had lost trust with this company. read more

Had a service today and it was unacceptable. I understand at times you won't be able to solve customer issues, but this was incredibly a terrible experience. They were here from around 10am-230pm. For starters our tech seemed inexperienced, he was asking my boyfriend for help and feedback. The tech also didn't have a "camera" which is what he needed supposedly, I overheard him talking to his backup support that also showed up, that he would go to Home Depot buy and use the tool and return it tomorrow. Extremely unprofessional. As soon as the tech realized he was not going to be able to solve the issue, he put the toilets back didn't screw them back or anything, literally just left them in the spot they belong and left a mess. I am very confused by the 4/5 star reviews, if I could give them negative or zero stars I would. They also were not wearing masks. Didn't have booties for their shoes. Luckily we have some at our home since we have a strict no shoes policy. He also asked if he could use some old towels, which of course we had to throw away after. I would also like to add that Roto-Rooter came by later this evening and fixed our issue, they were here roughly 30 minutes. Our issue was in the main line so they snaked our front yard and the issue was fixed. Roto-Rooter showed up in a work car, had a uniform on, wore a mask, brought their own shoe booties and also brought their own towels. He ended up putting our toilets back where they belong and checked them for us, since they were left unusable from the previous tech. There was absolutely no need to take off both toilets and all the fiasco and headache from this company. I will never use them again, the only reason we used them was because Roto-Rooter was unavailable and we wanted it fixed asap. Worst decision ever. Giving this company a chance, was a complete disaster and a waste of time. read more

When a female plumber showed up at our house about three months ago, I was open-minded. After checking for possible leak, I think she was not able to open the main shut off valve and thereby broke it. Instead of replacing it with another valve, she just replaced it with a fitting. Either she did not have the correct part, or not being able to replace it or some other reason, she simply replaced it with a fitting. As a result, with were left without a means to centrally shut off the water supply. Also, the hole on the wall she created was left open ----- along with the debris in the cuttings. We had to call another plumbing company to do a proper job. read more

Big thanks to Brian for helping me out of a bad spot, he gave me great suggestions for preventing the issue from occurring again. Glad he came by! read more

I was very impressed with the whole experience with Preferred Plumbing. I had a slow draining shower. I got several quotes from plumbers in the area. They were all quite high so I reached out to my next door neighbor. She recommended Preferred Plumbing. Their quote was less and they also charge by the quarter hour after the first hour. They were able to to send a plumber within an hour! Robert did the work and he was great. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and thoroughly explained what needed to be done and a recap of what he had done. The shower is now draining beautifully! I was also impressed with how nicely he cleaned up after doing his work. I highly recommend Preferred Plumbing. read more

Plumbing Nightmare (update still ongoing) Update: two weeks later, there are still back and forth, and juggling about responsibilities. They try to absolve of any issue, but the hard fact is we have clogging on third floor toilet, while second floor and first floor toilets are absolutely fine. They put the snake all the way up to the main sewer line (well beyond the clogging point between 3rd and 2nd floor) and stuck it there. Update: their director Ronny has reached out the next day and have been really helpful in owning the issue and checking with HOA about the best route to fix the issue. The issue might be a clog in the common area. Ronny and team has done a fantastic job to follow up and alleviate concerns on my side. Fingers crossed on resolving it finally. I had a clogging in the restroom toilet. Morning at 10am, their technician Henry came over, and I explained to him that I have clog issue between third floor toilet and second floor bathroom sink. Henry proposed removing the toilet on the third floor, and use a snake. Seems like an easy job, so I agreed that he started. One weird part though, Henry would not immediately start the job, instead he called his "advisor" for detailed instructions. That raised a bit of concerns to me, so I went over to another room, and talked to my wife that, "I don't feel this guy is very confident, should we stop him there". Then we had a bit of discussion and thought that the job would be so simple and no need for replacement. Turns out, Henry is so inexperienced he put the snake too far. I have explicitly stated that the clogging is between third floor bathroom toilet and second floor sink. Henry would put the snake all the way to the main pipe of the whole neighborhood - 75 feet down! Henry then reaches out to his "advisor". "Advisor" came and charged me 200 dollars for camera work to find out where the clogging is. Then proposed me to pay them 4500 dollars to dug up the neighborhood road (see the attached photo to see the spot they propose to solve the issue) and remove the clogging at site. I later asked the opinion of another plumber. He mentioned that the problem is clearly within the house (as I specified that the clogging is only between third floor and second floor, while all other toilets are working fine). But the inexperience of Henry has caused the whole situation to develop into an episode of plumbing nightmare. read more

Friendly and communication was wonderful and made sure the job was done in a timely manor.

Once again Preferred Plumbing came through to address a emergency! We had both floor drains backed up in the dish room. We first called a vendor and after trying for 2 days and two different technicians they couldn't address it. They then called to tell me that they recommended breaking open the floors and replacing the plumbing! 25K!!! Two get a second opinion, I had Preferred Plumbing out and they sent Ricardo (21yr plumber w/ company) out and after using a crazy amount of tricks he was able to clear the lines!!! Bill was $385! Been working with these guys for close to 4 years at multiple sites and will continue!!! God bless!!! read more

Definitely not my preferred choice but this is the company my complex is contracted with. I was not home during their 2 day visit so my review is solely based off what I saw upon returning home both days & video footage. The extent of the mess that was made left me speechless. One of the plumbers unplugging my camera is crazy and helping themselves to my brand new roll of paper towels is insane. Also, the plumbers from the first day caused some damage and of course did not say anything about it. Absolutely love the professionalism of this company. read more

They were great and super helpful. It's Sunday evening, and they just left. I had a leak that popped up out of no where, and had no idea what to do. My sister had used them in the past, and gave me their info. After calling someone, they had someone come out within the hour. They were extremely helpful and reasonably priced. They were able to fix the leak within 2 hours. Could have asked for a better service read more

I had a situation arise and had no idea on how to address it. After speaking with Najee, they had someone come out to fix the problem. The service was great, reasonably priced. They were able to fix the problem in a few short hours from when they showed up. First time using these guys and will save their info given I need them again in the future. read more

Absolutely horrible experience! They went to fix my toilet back in September. Didn't do a good job because there was another issue with same toilet again. They didn't show to first appointment. Work was taken off to meet them. They didn't show to second appointment. Work was taken off for this appointment too. Technician got flat tire supposedly. You better hope they do quality work if you use them because you are never getting them back out to fix their previous less than great repair even when you are willing to pay more for that repair. I feel like they stole $200 from us at this point for the first job they did. read more

The service was great, they came right out and fixed a problem that I was having at my location here. I feel they had good prices, and knew what they were doing. They were here for a total of two hours and got the problem fixed at a reasonable price. I feel it was a great service. read more

Hired them recently for a small plumbing job. Quite happy with the responsiveness, the transparency of pricing, and the speed of execution. Michael from their team was on-site in a few hours and gave a free price estimate for the work that had to be done. He completed the work under the initial estimate. They charge hourly which made it more economical to hire them for the small job. PS - They had a $20 promotion going on on their website, so check it out if it is still available read more

It took them 1.5 hours to relight a pilot light of a water heater (according to their invoice) and charged us $280. Seriously!

Qoaid did an amazing job! Our sink at work had been clogged for a while and he got back up and running quickly and cleaned the work area. Would definitely have him come back for our plumbing needs! read more

I recently had these guys come out to fix a leak on one of my properties. Mind you, it's Saturday evening as I'm going on to write this. I called them a few hours ago, and they came right out! That was amazing customer service if you ask me. They fixed the problem and I feel Gene did a wonderful job with getting the problem resolved. He had everything he needed despite stores being closed (its 10pm). Great pricing and the service was done right. Thank you. read more

Person answered the phone quickly and someone was able to come out on the same day to clear my sewer line. It was an emergency situation because family guests with baby were visiting.

The service was fine. But word to the weary: they advertise free estimate but charged us $160 for it. , which was unfortunate. They also rescheduled the service time without notifying us. read more

Sadly, our past few attempts to work with Preferred Plumbing have not gone as well as our first experience. In 2021 we had a very bad experience with a sump pump repair that wasn't up to par, and we later had to have repaired by another company. Most recently this past week, when our shower/bathtub was inoperable, it's taken multiple calls to get someone assigned to our case (we still have not had someone assigned). I'm sharing this as I don't think this is a bad company, but want to provide feedback. We probably won't work with Preferred again. read more

I will tell all of my friends and neighbors to use them. Thank you!! read more
