What To Look For In A Plumber San Diego Will Have Some Suprisess

Licensing: They must be licensed. There are many people out there posing as licensed professional plumbers but in reality they are just handymen that don't know too much about plumbing. So why should this concern you? We get calls all the time from customers who had a "plumber or handyman" out to fix their plumbing and it was not fixed correctly. Since they were not licensed, they did not fix it right. These types of people usually do not give any type of written warranty because they do not want to have any type of paper trail that shows that they do not have a license. You can check out licensing at the state of California's website here

Pricing: We use up front pricing. We will come out to your house and give you a free on site estimate. If you approve that estimate, then the price will not change. This is a benefit to you because if we made a mistake on bidding the job or don't have parts on our truck, we will not be charging you extra. With a company that charges hourly, you could be over charged if the plumber is working slow that day or has to get parts. Believe it or not, there are still many San Diego plumbing

Quality Of Work: You want to make sure that you are getting quality work fro your plumber San Diego is full of low quality plumbers that do a rush job on their work. So how do you know what a quality plumbing job looks like? You can inspect the work and see if it looks clean and straight and professional. You don't have to be a professional plumber to figure that out. If it looks sub-par than that means it will probably fail prematurely. One way to protect yourself from shoddy work is through written warranty's. This way if the plumbing work does not hold up, you will be able to fall back on a written warranty.

Emergency Services: Many companies do not offer emergency plumbing services in San Diego Unfortunately, most plumbing emergencies happen after normal business hours. At Colepepper Plumbing, we offer 24/7 emergency service. We continue to give free estimates even outside of normal business hours. Most San Diego plumbing repair company's will charge a high fee of $99 to $199 just to show up outside of normal business hours. If you need a emergency plumber San Diego only has a handful of companies that will be able to help you out when you are in a jam, and fortunately we are one of them

Juan, the technician, was great. He has great customer service skills, offered up some additional advice to keep the pipes clean and what to do to prevent further issues. He skillfully fixed our issue and made sure I was happy with the repair.?In general, the company is very responsive and had someone out to fix our issue within just a few hours. The cost was very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Dennis G was extremely professional. He helped us repair a burst water pipe in our new home and was very nice when we had questions about our plumbing. The company charged us a reasonable price for repairs and they were done in a very timely manner. Would definitely recommend them! Service: Plumbing pipe repair

After calling another Plumbing company and being told "maybe today, we're not sure. If not then next Tuesday " I called Colepepper Plumbing. They not only said "yes we can be there today", but Allen R arrived in under an hour. In a stressful situation he was friendly, reassuring, respectful, and knowledgeable. He explained things so I would understand, gave me options and allowed me to decide without influence.

He made a recommendation regarding doing the restoration portion myself or having a professional complete it. Plumbing is not my field so I was glad to have someone so patient and knowledgeable help me. I had water turned on within 2 hours! Thank you to Allen!

The guys were amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful with questions. They came to my condo, provided a quote and they were able to complete the work that day. They even called in other team members to help them with the additional service I added. (changing old piping under the kitchen sink).thank you Colepepper Team!

We called Colepepper Plumbing for an emergency estimate for a leaking water heater. We wanted to get them out here quickly, get an estimate to replace and upgrade. The appointment was between 9-12am today. I JUST received a phone call from them telling me they can't make it today. Over an HOUR after the time frame started! I don't know how a company doesn't know there guy can't get to a place over an hour late but i cancelled the appointment.

If they can't even be on time for an estimate, I fail to see how they can be as good as people call them for the actual installl. I also called them for an emergency plumbing issue a couple months back and they never even responded. They have lost a customer for life AND anyone I know.

I was in such a panic after discovering the bathroom floor flooded and not being able to shut off the leaky valve. I couldn't believe I didn't have a go to plumber (I do now!). My son did an online search and found Colepepper Plumbing. Such a positive experience. I really can't say enough good things about our technician Andy! Exceptional professionalism, friendly & courteous.

Being an after hours emergency, I was really happy he arrived as quickly as he did. As it turned out I needed the angle stop replaced. Andy explained everything in detail and the cost before doing the work. Not only did he replace the valve, but as a courtesy Andy also tighten some parts inside the toilet tank as it was slowly leaking water as well. I so appreciate this level of service and would highly recommend Colepepper Plumbing to all my friends and family!

The plumber initially quoted me $500 dollars for valve replacement under the sink. After telling him that was too high he dropped it down to $350. Even at $350 the price is high for 45 minutes of work and a simple valve, but had him do the work for convenience. The job seems to be done well at least. I will not be a return customer considering their pricing strategy.

Chris was very professional and knowledgeable about the work being performed. The work was completed in a very reasonable amount of time and looks great. No leaks, no mess left behind, got it right the first time. I've added Colepepper to my contact list and they will be my first call for future work.

I needed someone to repair a sink pipe ASAP, I looked online for the best rated places, and Colepepper plumbing was highly rated. It was super easy to make an appointment, the staff answering the phones were friendly and were able to answer all my questions. I was able to get an appointment on the same day. Eddie was the plumber that came over. He was super helpful, professional, and did an amazing job.

He explained exactly what he needed to do and why, and gave me an estimate of how long it would take to repair. I got a quote right away, and he was able to get started as soon as I approved the charges. He was thorough, clean, and kept me updated the entire time. Thank you so much Eddie! I would highly recommend this company, and I will definitely use them again if I'm ever in need of plumbing services.

Allan was very knowledgeable and professional. He has a knack for explaining things in a simple and easy to understand way. He was very easy going and made the whole process very easy. I would highly recommend him to anyone having plumbing issues. Additionally, he is very good with dogs! Best plumber I have ever used. Service: Drain cleaning

Andy was very thorough and professional. He assessed the situation and gave me a fair quote before getting started. During the service he showed me what was coming out of the pipe and gave me further recommendations to help clean and prevent this from being a continual problem. Overall, he got the job done quickly, corrected the problem and left no mess behind. I'll be sure to recommend him to any of my friends or neighbors having any plumbing issues. Thank you Andy!

I called to have a technician come out and provide guidance on what I should do about a outside drain line that collapsed due to tree roots. After digging a trench and finding the root cause, I wanted to see what options were available. Allan arrived and was very knowledgeable. He provided me with several options I could take and provided estimates for each one.

I'm truly thankful that he showed up and explain the pros and cons to each option. I'm planning to use their services in the future when I'm ready. Having the issue fixed the right way is going to cost me but I rather pay more for it to be done right. I highly recommend them.

Eddie T did a great job providing us an estimate for future service. He was on time and friendly, and provided us with an excellent path forward for our preventive maintenance plan. Can't wait to implement it with Colepepper. Thanks

I had a clog on New Years and got a recommendation for a plumber from the neighborhood. That plumber said he didn't do drains but recommended Colepepper as a good place to go that did. I called them and they had staff there to help me schedule on New Year's, which was great. Allan was the plumber that was sent out - I got a call before the visit, he showed up on time and we got right to the problem after a couple of quick questions to clarify what the issue was. Allan was personable and explained all the details of what was going on including scoping out the pipe after clearing the obstruction. Honestly I don't think I could have asked for a better experience, he was knowledgeable and friendly, got the job done and suggested how to follow up to avoid it recurring. I would definitely work with Colepepper again based on this experience and would recommend them to anybody.

The house's main drain was clogged and pushed water back into all three bathrooms. I called Colepepper Plumbing around 10PM and a technician arrived at my house 30 minutes later. Allen was professional, knowledgeable and kind. He listened to our concerns, did his inspection and got to work immediately. The master bathroom's toilet had to be removed inorder to unclog the main drain. Allen completed his work and did a thorough cleaning of the area.

I was very impressed with the service and response time of Colepepper Plumbing. Their a little pricey, but the service call was a late night emergency. I would recommend and use this company again.

Our technician, Anthony, was very professional, knowledgeable and respectful of our house. He clearly communicated the potential causes of our plumbing issues along with everything he was doing to resolve them. He was neat and thoroughly cleaned up after he was finished. We would highly recommend Anthony. Service: Unclog drain

We needed to replace the water valve to our refrigerator, and Alan was very knowledgeable and professional. He explained to us the process and gave us the estimate. We don't have any complaints for Alan. There is a lot of competition out there but we went with Colepepper Plumbing because we thought they were honest, well after asking around we found out that a replacement of a water valve to our refrigerator rates anywhere from $150 - $250 and we were originally going to be charged $1200, but Alan managed to get the price down to $749 which is still 3 times more than Bill Howe or Anderson's Plumbing. My recommendation is read the reviews first before you hire someone to do any plumbing work. I do NOT recommend Colepepper Plumbing for their outrageous prices!

Friendly and caring staff. The prices are cheaper than some other companies I called. Christopher is a very knowledgeable person to talk to. He answered all of my questions. All I can say is you cannot go wrong with Colepepper plumbing.

We called Colepper plumbing out because it was taking a long time for hot water to reach our shower. They then proceeded to charge us thousands for unnecessary work, only to finally end up installing the WRONG water heater WITHOUT a permit, and in VIOLATION of codes. I took them to Arbitration where the owner, Mitch Kenney, LIED. The arbitrator saw through him and awarded us our damages. Mitch / Colepepper still refuse to pay the award provided by arbitration. Avoid Mitch and Colepepper at ALL COSTS.

0 stars, do not recommend at all. There were so many issues with this company! One being, they did not honor their military discount when asked. They did not honor their 30 day warranty. They did not honor their 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed for a refund. We hired them due to a clogged toilet at our rental property. We were told they needed. to hydro jet the pipes which cost around $1,660.

We decided to go through with them because our tenants needed a toilet, of course. A week later, the same problem occurs. We called back the technician, Stan, to let him know the situation. Stan then proceeds to tell us that we are going to need to replace our pipes and quoted us for around 8,400.

Worst plumbing company out there! Didnt complete work they were suppose to! Also never showed up to do estimates on jobs scheduled. never called to explain. never called back. finally I called for the "manager" n they had front desk lady explain which was not an explanation only a lack of management or lack of balls they couldnt talk to me directly! I would never recommend this company for any plumbing needs. worst management possible!

They have the worst customer service ever. They are over priced and do not take care of customer complaints even when they are valid complaints. I worked there for about 6 months, I set up their whole admin work and was let go because the wife didn't like me. I am honestly surprised they are still in business. Do not trust this company at all

I reached out to Colepepper plumbing to receive a bid for some repairs that were listed on a home inspection report for a home my wife and I are trying to buy on a Saturday. I was told that they could for sure assist me, and have a plumber out between 10-2 on Sunday, and they would call about 30 min before they arrived. We reached out to our agent. so the sellers could be ready as well.

I called at 11 on the day of the appointment to confirm it. I was told yes we were confirmed it would be another hour. I called at 12:30 to follow up as it had been over an hour. I was told that they had a lot of calls and I was next. I called at 1:30 again to see what the ETA was, as we were trying to.

Mitch at Colepepper was fantastic at responding to our early-Sunday-morning water heater emergency. He arrived at our house within an hour of calling him, explained what was wrong and what our options were, and answered all our questions. The next morning, David from Colepepper arrived and did an excellent job installing our new water heater and whole house water filtration system. Both guys were professional, kind, and fast.
Mark Park
Armando went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. He even had a lot of helpful suggestions for troubleshooting in the future to avoid having anymore costly damage. He was friendly and attentive to the needs of the whole property, rather than just the task at hand!
Roland Balero
Miguel from Colepepper Services had my plumbing fixed in 4 hours. Compare that to Cavan Construction that could not get it done in 3 weeks! Professional, clean work and polite. I highly recommend him and Colepepper Services.
Christine York
Miguel was amazing! He kept us in the loop the whole way when we had to address some major plumbing issues. Additionally he assisted with a gas leak issue that sprung up. I would highly recommend Colepepper Plumbing for all your plumbing needs and will continue to use them in the future.
Alison McLean
Armando was prompt and courteous and offered us a first time customer discount. He cleaned our sink drain in no time, and even cleaned up afterward while entertaining our 2 year old. Overall would recommend Armando and his high quality service.
Vida Cabanilla
I have to thank Armando for coming out and repairing our leaking kitchen sink. He did it quickly and efficiently. Also appreciate his friendly personality and smile. Great job. I would definitely recommend these guys to my family and friends and everyone out there.
Rick Hines
I had a bathroom sink faucet that was literally crumbling to pieces. Armando came out, got me a favorable estimate, and replaced the faucet and associated piping. Works great, and looks good, much better than my old "clunker" faucet that was always hard to turn. There was a little misunderstanding about when they were to arrive to do the work, but I attribute that to a slight misunderstanding on my part, easily cleared up with a phone call. Would use them again.
Chelita Cova
For four days we tried to unclog our kitchen sink to no avail, then we called Colepepper Services and they sent us Tyler. He was the most professional, informative, and knowledgeable representative that we have ever met! He was fast and efficient and so very nice!! It was a big job and he handled it like the PRO that he is!! We are so grateful and will recommend your company to all our friends and family. Thank you again to Tyler!! :)
Nannette Moyer
I highly recommend this company. I started out unsure because of past companies taking advantage of my family being new home owners and am happy to say I will be a forever customer and highly recommend Armando Rodriguez. Not only was he attentive but he quickly earned our business and trust with patience with explaining everything in detail to us (even though I was a bit difficult in the beginning).

After one water heater 2 toilet replacements with other Minor repairs he has earned our future business for life. I can say I will not be looking anywhere else for plumbing services. If you are a new homeowner or want honest business I highly recommend asking for Armando Rodriguez.
Elizabeth Blow
Colepepper Services are highly responsive and professional. I highly recommend their services. I received a call from my tenant who rents my home in Scripps Ranch. They stated the air conditioner was not working properly. The tile floor was ice cold in a few locations. Jared, the technician at Colepepper Services came out the same day to inspect and repair the air conditioner.

He called me with electrical issues as well, that needed attention. He went above and beyond, not only did he service the air conditioner with refrigerant and sealant, but ensured the voltage regular was properly cleaned and installed. He also took photos of the work since I was long distance. He found a few more electrical items that were neglected all for one reasonable price! He offered a $50 coupon off for the work as well. A job well done!
William Lange
Miguel Ramirez was excellent. He was very personable and knowledgeable and helped me feel at ease. He gave me all of my options and I felt like I could trust him. He got right to work and finished the job in an extremely short time frame and I'm grateful for his help. I highly recommend this service.
Gary Gunther
I had a problem with a hose bib that would not allow me to shut off the water at the bib. I had to shut off the water at the main line, which cut off water throughout the house.

Colepepper had tech Sean here within an hour and the work was completed in an efficient and timely manner for a reasonable price. I found Sean to be friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with,

I recommend Colepepper and intend to use them again, when necessary.
Brenda Mahurin
I want to thank Colepeppers Services and a special thank you to Miguel Ramirez who did an outstanding job. He not only helped us with our bad plumbing pipes. He sat and explained exactly what needed to be done and showed us our pipes threw a camera. He also explained this to my Mother in-law who has dementia and his patience and understanding her ability of memory loss, he was very caring. Miguel Ramirez needs to be recognized for his work ethics, he made sure we knew exactly what was going to be done step by step and answered all of our questions and concerns he made us feel important and most of all like a true friend. Miguel also introduced the workers who also were very pleasant and considerate of my mother in-law. We will definately use Colepepper Services again as well refer them to a friend and especially ask for Miguel Ramirez. Thank you again Colepepper Services 😉
Cecil Hudson
Responded quickly, got a quote for fixing a stick shower valve on a Saturday. It was a 3 hour job, so it had to be postponed till Monday, when we had company coming. Finished the job as scheduled. Firm fixed price was reasonable, and the job was done professionally, and was nicely cleaned up. Highly recommended.
Virginia Haaland
Armando did a great job with our sink and bathtub plumbing issues! Knowledgeable, friendly and fixed things quickly.

When I woke up the day after Christmas I found a substantial leak in my back yard. A quick inspection revealed a leak in my sump pump that was beyond my capabilities. I called Cole-Pepper and they had technicians to my property in about 40 minutes. I am flying out of town tomorrow and had errands to run. They ended taking longer than expected and Armando and Mitch had completed repairs and took payment over the phone.

When I returned home, everything was perfectly repaired/replaces. They even saved me money by joining the “Club”. I cannot speak highly enough of their service. They have my business as long as I live in San Diego! Thank you for a job well done!
Crystal Castillo
Armando from Colepepper was legit! Quality work for an amazing price! Its hard to find honest hard workers but Armando looked out for us. I bought the toilet tune up and the $79 for $200 of plumbing work and everything was done quickly and efficiently. Thank you for your professionalism! Definitely will be using this company from now on!
Jessica Chadwick
I had Leo come out to my residence today and we was quite the seasoned technician. Leo was able to fix the issue within 10-15 minutes AND he left me with a new knowledge base about the pipes and drainage system for the specific property I rent. That’s the best kind of customer service in my book! Thanks again Leo!
