    We called Prodigy for a backed up drain. Trent came first and said they would run a camera first to determine the issue, but he was waiting for his boss to come. His boss arrived, asked a few questions, and said that we needed to descale our sewer line for $4500 or replace the whole sewer line for $7500. I told him that I had no idea what these things cost, so I would call around to a couple of plumbers to find out if this pricing is about right for this task. After calling around, both plumbers I talked to asked if he had snaked the drain and/or run a camera to determine if descaling was what we needed. I went back out to talk with the boss, who told me that he didn't snake it because he has 30 or 40 years of experience and he knows that's what we need. When I questioned him again about the need to clear the line and determine what was needed first, he seemed to get agitated. We couldn't use any plumbing, so I was desperate and asked them to snake the line and then we would figure out what we wanted to do next. He made it clear that he didn't agree with me. He said we were going to continue having problems because descaling was what we needed. I said we weren't ready to do that, and requested that they clear the line. They came in and spent 4 minutes (max) snaking the drain, told me the line was cleared, and got on their way. A simple Google search shows that snaking a drain takes 15-45 minutes. The effort here was abysmal. A few hours later, we, again, had a sewage back up. Obviously not trusting the company that diagnoses based on experience instead of examination and spends no more than 4 minutes to snake a drain, I had a different company come out the next day. They spent 20-30 minutes clearing the whole sewer line and ran a camera through to determine the issue. THE INSPECTION SHOWED NO NEED FOR DESCALING. DOING SO WOULD HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY. They found no mineral deposits, roots nor corrosion build up. The company cleared the drain. There are a few spots with a positive slope and replacing those sections (or the whole line) is recommended. Had we gone with Prodigy, we would have had an expensive line descaled unnecessarily, and we still would have had to deal with the positive slope issue. I've had a good experience with prodigy in the past, but this lack of professionalism and integrity was shocking. I will not take the risk of calling this company again.

    Another great experience with the Prodigy Plumbing team. Ariel is a great communicator and kept me well informed. James and Trent communicated well and provided the quote. Field Manager Carlos stopped by a few times to make sure that the work was progressing well and that we were satisfied. The field service team was great to work with and kept us informed of progress. Marcos, Fred, Boii and Victor worked hard and efficiently to ensure that the plumbing was repaired correctly to last for years. They cleaned the areas to look like they were never there. Very satisfied with the end result and constant communication. I will use Prodigy again.

My message to him was sent out to several companies which I didn't love but wanted to wait for Jacob's reply. He was straightforward on what he thought might be the issue and gave me a price- I did question the price only because snaking varies like crazy (and a bunch of other plumbing CO's messaged me). He asked to call just to tell me that yep- it does vary and the reasons you can get what you pay for. I've been burned by plumbing in the past so I agreed to have him over and he came in 25 min! After explaining the drain issue with my upper bath/shower and me snaking it myself with cheap snakes, he informed me I was snaking the wrong drain. Instructed me and guided me on how to clear my own drain! I cleared my drain! With his instruction and he didn't charge me!! I of course still paid 1/3 of the quote as it's only fair he came here and helped me where I think anyone else would have cleared it, charged the full amount and probably tried to sell me something I didn't need. Jacob is a really good human, an honest human and in this day/age that's hard to find. I will definitely use him for anything in the future including remodel or anything bath/pipe/kitchen related; he is kind, super knowledgeable and generally wants people to be happy with his work. Very easy going guy. I have not been this impressed with someone in a long time. Highly recommend. 10 stars!!!

While another plumber was unable to get the issue with my shower resolved, Jacob got the job done and without having to go the route of a more expensive repair. I went with his suggestion for a replacement toilet for the one that was constantly hissing and dripping despite replacing internals. Out with the old and in with the new in no time. Would not hesitate to call Jacob again for help on a plumbing job. Responsive, knows his stuff, and gets the job done right, quickly, and at a reasonable rate.

Xavier ended up going a bit earlier than the estimated time, and spent his whole afternoon diagnosing a deeper issue with the toilet. Throughout the process, he's called me privately and discreetly to provide updates, and I was thoroughly impressed with his professionalism. Xavier was able to finally resolve the plumbing issue after hours working past the initial diagnosis, and included some additional services with the price I paid. The invoices came after the long weekend and I was able to get a discrepancy corrected immediately by the admin team. Overall, I'm happy I found another plumbing company to rely on. Shout out to Xavier!

    Sorry, but one should always double-check any contractor on the CA Contractors Licensing Bd…read more website (cslb.ca.gov) before hiring them. Thought about hiring "Plumbing Squad" but here's the State's position (ie, they were at least lazy, out of business, or too stoned to care about their license): "License is under suspension for the following reasons: License is under Contractors Bond Suspension. A contractor's bond may have been received by the Board but not yet processed. Once the bond is processed the suspension will be lifted retroactively to the effective date of the bond. Ask the contractor for proof of a contractor's bond and contact the bonding company to verify bond status." So I guess I'm not gonna hire them... but I'm guessing they'll present a defense. :-)

Jordan was on-site within 30 minutes of my initial call and had an offer to us quickly after evaluating the job. Beyond being efficient, he was just a great guy -- he took the time to bond with our golden retriever while he walked the site, which says a lot about someone. Aaron and Charlie handled the installation and were fantastic. They showed up on time, were professional throughout, and even cleaned up the old enclosure before installing the new unit. When they left, the whole area looked better than before they arrived. It's great to support a local Long Beach business that can move quickly, price fairly, and still accommodate what we needed. Highly recommend Primo for anyone dealing with a water heater issue -- responsive, honest, and quality work all around.

Aaron was professional, quick, efficient, and most importantly, honest. There was absolutely no pressure or trying to upsell us. He explained exactly what happened, showed us the actual parts causing the problem, and made sure we understood everything. The job isn't completely finished yet because we're waiting on a part, but Aaron was very upfront about the timing and set realistic expectations in case the part arrives late. Most importantly, he took care of our main issue right away, which was such a relief! Great service, great communication, and genuinely kind people. I'm very glad I called Primo Plumbing and would highly recommend them!

From the initial phone call with Jeanette, to the technician coming out (same day!) the customer service has been top notch.

They also provided an arrival time and showed up early! Freddy C and Renee came out and worked diligently to install a new AC and went the extra mile to trim some shrubs to make enough space for the outside unit. They were polite and considerate as I was working from home during the install. Later that day after they left I had to call to ask someone to come back because I was experiencing an issue with the auto shut off and Albert (? sorry if I got that wrong) answered and scheduled time for someone to come the next day. Not even 10 minutes later I got a call back from Albert and he said someone would be there in 30 minutes to take a look. Oscar came back and was able to fix the issue quickly. He was once again extremely professional and took the time to explain to me the issue and what he did to fix it. These guys work super hard and provided A+ service. I highly recommend.
