We had an emergency plumbing repair when an indestructible stainless steel cup used by our toddler made its way into our garbage disposal on the night prior to July 4th. Somehow it was both the perfect size and strength to get exactly jammed in the garbage dispoal. With family and friends coming over and a lot of activity in the kitchen, this was a big problem. We called around to multiple plumbers and found Stefano recommended by another family with a garbage disposal issue. He was one of few plumbers who got back to us promptly and who did not charge an extreme "out of hours" markup for coming out on a holiday. When he tackled the blockage, he ended up disassembling the garbage disposal but was able to both remove the cup and replace a gasket that had gotten damaged in the process of me trying to unjam the disposal. Not only that, Stefano was upbeat and did a great job of entertaining our 2 year old who was watching on with wide eyes. This was a huge relief - our 4th of July event was a success and we've bookmarked Stefano's contact details for any future plumbing needs! read more

Stefano is a pro. I highly recommend him He has done jobs at my daughter's house as well. Very happy with his work. read more

Stefano did a great job installing our new water heater. Very pleasant to work with. Very little wait time to get it booked and done.

Stefano changed out our gas line with leaking water knobs for our New washer/Dryer! Stefano is professional and easy to work with. Quickly completed the task and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Stefano's Plumbing & Drain. read more

Stefano is my go to plumber for all plumbing issues I experience with my home over the years. He is always on time, takes the time to evaluate what is happening, explains clearly what is happening and what he will do, takes action to make the repair, double checks to make sure if is correct, and takes the time to even write up a paper invoice to give me on the spot. He helped me fix a second floor hot water copper pipe leak, set up an natural gas line for my outdoor bbq, snaked a clogged kitchen drain line 50 feet, and creatively solved a large chip at the end of my cleanout drain. Never ever felt being upsold by Stefano and always appreciative of his quality work. read more

Stands by his work. Very busy though so if you need it fast probably best to get someone else.

He's great! Helped us out with a leak in the kitchen and was smart and fast and reasonably priced!

I've used Stefano whenever I've had a plumbing/garbage disposal issue. Most recently, my shower drain was clogged. After trying everything myself, I finally called Stefano for his expertise. He came the next day, on time, liked my dog, and went to work. It turns out I unknowingly hit the lever that closes the drain...Stefano figured that out in about two seconds. My pride was hurt, but we both had a laugh and he went on his merry way. Great guy and great service...I'd try him before anyone else out there. read more

April 2020 Post-Covid Update Stefano continues to impress! Our Garbage Disposal unit came detached from the sink and caused a huge mess. I called Stefano in a panic at 7pm and he called me minutes later and was out the next morning bright and early. He fixed the problem so it was as good as new. He wore a mask, gloves, and took his shoes off. Amazing level of service! Highest marks! March 2020 Awesome. Stefano is on time, neat, reasonably priced and his work is A+. He's the kind of person you'd be happy to let near your wife and children. Highest marks! read more

MY GOODNESS! I wanted these guys to take longer just so I could hang out with them. So kind, so professional, so incredibly nice with my pets, a joy to have in your home AND excellent work at a reasonable price. I'm going to go purposefully break a faucet just so I can have them come over again. The best of the best. read more

Stefano has been our plumber for many years. He is completely reliable, knows his stuff, and is quite willing to do the "dirty work" under the house, and is quite capable when it comes to installing appliances like dishwashers, stoves, refrigerators, and garbage disposals. I've recommended him a dozen times and everyone is completely satisfied. And his prices are reasonable. read more

Stefano was great. I contacted 6-7 plumbers and selected him because he understood that I was trying to save time & money and very much helped to accomodate me. He was ok with me purchasing the replacement water heater at Home Depot, whereas some of the others were not. He also gave me a precise estimate based on my circumstances, which proved accurate. Plus, he was very friendly and easy to work with during and before the job. read more

Stefano does excellent work, is prompt and reliable. He even responded to my message when he was on vacation. I recommend him

On-time, mask on, worked quickly, very reasonably priced, no mess left behind, explained everything he was doing, and even took his shoes off in the house. No wonder Stefano's has a 5-star rating. read more

Stefano and Dominic were punctual, professional, and engaging. They were careful to remove their boots before entering the house and got the job done efficiently, and charged reasonably. read more

I have met and used a number of plumbers over my many years..Stefano is heads and shoulders above the rest. He is prompt, knowledgeable, courteous, neat and reasonable. This is an amazing combination for any construction trade. read more

Stefano has done so much work in my home and is always reliable, affordable and does excellent, good quality work. He is also very honest and over the years I have really come to depend on him. You couldn't find a better plumber. read more

We called Stefano's to install a sink in our garage. They were by far the most reasonable quote out of the four plumber's my wife called to come out. On install day, Stefano and his uncle arrived on time, were extremely pleasant, kept the small workspace very tidy, provided missing parts to the faucet we ordered from Amazon, and even fixed a loose faucet on our kitchen sink at no additional charge. We will definitely be calling them for any future plumbing needs! read more

Stefano fit me in last minute when my pipes were on the fritz. Great customer service and even better comms. Dominic was my guy onscene. He was super professional and shot me straight with optional annual maintenance to avoid last minute emergencies in the future. The job was done lightning fast and the prices are very competitive. They even rolled back out the very next day when our garage sink blew up on the wife and I was on-duty and couldn't make it home. Call them, you won't regret it. read more

I had to replace the faucet assembly on my kitchen sink. I thought I would be able to do this myself, but I couldn't. After checking on Nextdoor, then on Yelp. I contacted Stefano to do the job. Stefano came on New Year's Day to do the job--he said it was very hard to remove the old faucet assembly. Of course, he had tools and know-how that I do not have! He installed the new faucet which I had purchased. He wore a mask in my house, and completed the job in relatively short time. Thanks, Stefano! read more

Best Plummer/person ever. He's fixed a few issues we had. Honest. Hard worker. Can not say enough good things about Stephano!

Once again, Stefano is the absolute BEST plumber you can have! We've used him many times and will continue to use him. He is prompt, super courteous and professional, knowledgeable and incredibly reasonably priced. He doesn't gouge at all. He's also a super nice guy to boot! He put in a new gas line for our generator! We will continue to use him forever! read more

Excellent work! Professional, knowledgeable, honest, reasonably priced and leaves everything very clean! We are happy! We have a new plumber! read more

We had some clogging in the main pipe under the house. I checked the side yard clean out and it was dry indicating the clog was under the house. I called the guys that installed our sewer main 2 years ago and they recommended Stefano's. Stefano's is a one man operation and unclogging pipe clogs is his "bread and butter" work. Anyway, I called him around 7:45 PM, thinking he wouldn't be out until the next day, and he said he would come right out. He arrived around 8:05 PM and was done by 8:30 PM. Stefano is an outgoing guy w/ a super attitude and he genuinely seems to enjoy his work. Believe the other five star reviews....he's that good. read more

This review is for responsiveness only, which was stellar. I did not use Stefano's, because they do not service the location I needed. However, less than 30 minutes after I left a voice-mail message asking if they did work at my job site, I received a text letting me know that it was out of area. That's the professional and courteous thing to do, but it's shocking how many plumbers don't return calls. So, 5 stars for not leaving me to wait around wondering whether or not I should call someone else. read more

Our master bathroom toilet began to drain slowly on Monday, President's Day. I tried the plunger numerous times with no success in clearing the blockage. I then tried a cable drain cleaner and then an auger. No success. I called Stefano's plumbing based upon Yelp reviews late that morning. Dominic returned the call promptly and said that he would be at our home between 2 and 4 PM that afternoon. He arrived at 3:30. He took his auger, which was larger than mine, and quickly removed the blockage with his proper technique. He showed me the correct way to use an auger, should I need to clear a blockage in the future. Great service and a reasonable price! read more

Very professional work at fair prices. Stefano returned my call very quickly (even though it was a Saturday), provided a fair quote, did the work quickly, and was very professional and pleasant to deal with. The two faucets he installed are working perfectly. I'm happy to have found a reliable resource for planned and emergency plumbing work. Plus, he a strong member of the Lamorinda community, which is always a plus to me. read more

Perfect, prompt, professional service. Extremely nice, as well. Highly recommended. Stefano would have come to our home the same day, but we requested a next day service. He showed up when he said he would, diagnosed an incorrectly installed toilet (wax ring was bent). He had the part to fix it in his truck and installed it and within 20 minutes our toilet was working again. Thanks, Stefano! read more

This is the second time I have used Stefano. I have been impressed by his work and responsiveness. The first time he ended up needing a part so he made a quick run to the plumbing supply store, returned and installed it in less than an hour. It turned out that the expensive part was under warranty, but he had to buy it, order another one and then return it to the store for the credit. It took over 2 months for the part to arrive and he did not charge us for the part which meant that Stefano carried the cost for 2 months. Stefano was equally responsive and successfully fixed a different problem the second visit. He is definitely our "go-to" plumber! I agree with other posts - responsive, capable, reasonably priced and nice! read more

Amazing service. Quick response and very reasonable timing for the repair (next day, I didn't have an emergency). He even came late in the day to adjust to my schedule. He and his apprentice John worked hard identifying the problem and tried EVERYTHING to save me money on the repair. I really appreciated his dedication to doing a thorough exploration rather than just jumping to an expensive conclusion. They also ran to the store and got the parts they needed while they were working so I didn't have to wait another few days. The whole thing was explored, diagnosed, parts were purchased and the problem fixed in an hour and a half. Amazing. read more

It was about 5:30 and I was calling several plumbers trying to find someone who could come out and clear out the sewage line. I probably talked to 5 different companies. Stephano was referred to me by Diablo Rooter and I am so glad for that! He came out almost immediately, worked quickly, and fixed the problem for about half of what another company had quoted. Without sounding too corny, it is really heartwarming to know there are people like Stephano that care enough to work this hard to help someone. Thank you thank you thank you Stephano!! read more

Stefano is someone you can trust. Responsive and reliable and efficient. Our sewer waste line was clogged. He came on Monday after Christmas and was done in an hour. Thanks Stefano. read more

He is just the best! Super nice, honest, excellent plumber. Really can't say enough about how professional and knowledgeable he us. If he is busy, I will do everything I can to wait until he is available. And he always seems to figure out a way to get to us as soon as he can. read more

Stefano deserves his 5 star ratings and more! Based on recommendations from neighbors on NextDoor, I called him last night when I found a slow leak in the crawl space under our house. He arrived promptly at 8am the next morning to fix it. When he finished, he even mopped up the dirty standing water and disinfected the area before leaving. He is efficient, honest, competent and reasonably priced. On top go that, he was kind enough to tighten the connections on the loose pipes under my kitchen sink without charging extra. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good plumber. read more

Stefano is first rate in every way! He is an experienced, knowledgeable plumber. We had the pipes rotoscoped-rootered, and after doing the job, Stefano made sure that all the internal plumbing was functioning properly. He not only gets the job done, he makes sure it is done right. Honest, responsible and professional.. we could go on and on about how wonderful Stefano is! read more

We have had Stefano to our home to deal with clogged toilets and backed up drains etc. Most recently I called him to look at our master shower which had 2 shower heads. One shower head never had but a trickle of water pressure and the other has barely had enough pressure to rinse my hair. We have been dealing with it for a while but decided to consult with Stefano. He came the next day and within 30 minutes had both heads fixed and working fabulously!!! Stefano has always responded quickly to messages and is always courtious and kind and arrives with a smile. We have been so happy with his work and very grateful for his help. read more

Stefan came referred by his Uncle, Kevin, from Diablo Rooter. Stefan came out within one hour of my phone call and was very courteous and friendly on the phone. He explained my problem, gave me some useful information about sewer lines, and did a great job for a price that beats just about everyone! read more

This guy is top of the line. Skilled, trustworthy, reasonably priced. You're not going to do better.

Love these guys - they are great guys in addition to doing good work at a reasonable price - and they've trained several other local plumbers over the years. One of three go-to plumbers for us. read more

I was told I would need to have a hole cut in my shower to replace the head. Stefano came by with a special tool and had it working in minutes. Very reasonable prices, I had him do many plumbing tasks I'd put off, kitchen sink/disposal, all new shower heads, faucets and toilet. All the work impeccable! These reviews are very accurate, if you're looking for a plumber this is your guy. I'm a grandma who lives alone and had postponed plumbing jobs. Very happy to have found an honest reliable guy very reasonably priced. read more
