Plumbing reviews in Oakland, California

They tried to be very helpful, but unfortunately were not very knowledgeable. A young woman on the phone told me they had a Swanstone integrated sink vanity top, so I went there, and she confidently showed me the vanity top, but it was an engineered stone vanity top with an undermound, the complete opposite, both in material and shape. Then two older men employees came over to talk with me, and when I described how I wanted to customize a vanity top, they started telling me some related stories, but they both seemed out of their depth, too, like they had never heard of a tile backsplash.

What a great customer service!! Small plumbing parts a was looking for! And Adan gave me such a great excellent customer service!! I 3 bathroom remodel now I know where to come!! Thank so much Adan! I wish I can give you 10 stars!O

I needed some bathroom faucet and shower valve replacement stems. That were very helpful in providing the exact replacement parts. In the case of the shower valves, they told me that I only needed gaskets. That saved me a lot. Later it was very easy to return extra parts. I doubt that Home Depot has the correct parts and if so, it would have been very difficult for me to find them.

knowledgeable, thoughtful, good sevice

We have Joel to replace plastic pipe part under the bathroom sink and shower head dripping . He is very patient to answer all my questions and put in great effort to finish the job to meet the customer's satisfaction ! Highly recommended!

They offered a fair price and kept good communications throughout the quick water heater repair. Super fast service. Thank you!!

I had used their service in the past for a leaking sink and was very happy with the work, so I did not hesitate call them again for a bigger job this time. I will call them again in future as well as recommend them to friends and neighbors.

We've used Golden Coast Plumbing for two jobs now, and they will be our go-to for all our future plumbing needs. Their work is high quality and their customer service is excellent. Joel is very responsive, friendly, and upfront with information. I highly recommend Golden Coast Plumbing if you are in need of plumbing help!

Most dedicated, affordable, honest plumber! Joel has done two big projects for me - installing a laundry room with a half bathroom, and separating the sewer pipes for two toilets which were connected via a double tee connection.

Both were done with permits, and he passed every inspection with flying colors, even receiving props from an inspector.

On Joel's first day beginning the toilet project in a vacant apartment, a tenant from a neighboring apartment confronted him about the construction noise, complaining loudly and threatening to get a restraining order and/or take legal action.

I called a civil standby officer to keep the tenant at bay, but his threats continued.

Other contractors might have been intimidated. But Joel remained steadfast and finished the job by my deadline. When restoring the bathroom, he even threw in a couple of new water shutoff valves under the bathroom sink. Highly recommended!

Came to fix shower faucet & kitchen faucet. Service was fast and gentleman that came was very friendly.

Golden Coast Plumbing came in at very last minute for an emergency when two other companies wouldn’t. My main drainage was supper clogged with roots due to our tree upfront that has gotten its way through the line. The experience that Joel & his uncle have made it easy for them to diagnose the problem & got to work right away. They know exactly what they are doing! Highly recommend these guys! Call them up trust me.

Joel and the guys at Golden Coast Plumbing have helped us with a bathroom remodel and some work during a kitchen remodel and we cannot recommend them enough! The communication is clear and quick, the work is thorough and professional, and Joel has even given us some tips that will save time and effort in future projects. Golden Coast Plumbing is always our first call for any plumbing needs!

Had a plumbing issue and Joel Jr responded immediately to my request and reviewed videos of my issue before he came over. It turns out that my plumbing issue had self resolved and didn’t require any fixes. Joel Jr kindly waived my call-out fee.

This is a father/son owned business with very professional and friendly service. Would highly recommend and will be calling them if I have future issues!

I can’t possibly say enough good about this family owned business. A bit of a backstory…a little over a year ago I called a handyman to do a few small jobs around my home. One of them was to fix an upstairs toilet that would not stop running. This handyman took a quick look inside the tank and told me the entire toilet needed to be changed out and he gave me a quote of over $600 to do it. Nice guy, but he didn’t really seem to know a whole lot about any of the repairs I asked him to do so I wanted to get a professional opinion on the issue. I called Golden Coast Plumbing and Rooter and Joel Jr came out immediately. He removed the lid from the tank and explained that the flap on the inside mechanism wasn’t sealing properly. No new part was needed and the repair itself took seconds. I was very impressed and thankful.

Fast-forward to just recently and my water heater stopped working. I knew exactly who I was going to contact. It was nighttime, but it wasn’t an emergency so I just text messaged Golden Coast instead of calling. Very early the next morning, I got a phone call from Joel Jr. and he apologized profusely for not seeing my message the night before. (I didn’t expect him to). He told me he would be over between nine and 10 o’clock that same morning. I wasn’t expecting a response that fast. At about 9 o’clock, he text messaged me to say that he was 25 minutes away and would be there soon. When he got here, he put on shoe covers to respect our home and he confirmed what I already knew, that the unit would have to be replaced. Unfortunately, this was going to be no ordinary or fast water heater replacement. The water heater, along with the air conditioner and furnace are in a small closet in our kitchen. The garage is directly behind this closet. Several years ago when I had my air conditioner/furnace replaced, I was told, “I hope you don’t have to have your water heater replaced anytime soon because it’s going to be almost impossible to get it out of this tight area.” Now here we are… Because the closet is so narrow there was no way Joel Jr was going to be able to get the water heater out the front. So, his dad came by and they cut a perfectly rectangle hole in the wall of the garage and took it out the back of the closet. The hole was just big enough to wiggle the old water heater out and the new one in. They replaced the piece of the wall that had been removed and once we tape it, you won’t even know the wall had been cut!

Joel Jr went above and beyond what I expected. The response was immediate because he said we needed to have hot water ASAP. He moved gym equipment away from the wall in the garage so the work could be done, and he cleaned up all the dust and debris. He and his dad are extremely nice and very professional. The price was reasonable and I’m very happy with their work. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thanks Joel!!

I wish they had more glowing 5 star reviews! We had a small leak, called Joel and he came out to fix it in no time. Really appreciate how attentive and thorough he was to diagnose the issue by starting out small with a camera to find the leak instead of doing the easiest thing by cutting the drywall right away. Even so, he took great care in cutting as little as needed which definitely took more effort, and vacuuming it as they cut so as to reduce the debris. He also took great effort to explain and show us the leak, what caused it and how he plans to address it. Everything was fixed in no time at all.

Amazing plumber in the neighborhood and would recommend to anyone

We used Golden Coast for the first time a little over a year ago and have since used them on several projects and could not be happier. They are honest, fairly priced and do high quality work. They just recently had to repair shower faucets/handle we put in more than 15 years ago, we had to track down parts that were no longer manufactured and they were able to fix everything without having to mess with the marble tiled wall and now all works better than ever.

I can't rave enough about Joel's plumbing expertise and outstanding service from Golden Coast Plumbing and Rooter! When my toilet started leaking, my wife and I were in a panic. It smelt terrible! Thankfully, Joel and his uncle came to the rescue, and he's nothing short of a plumbing superhero!

From the moment he arrived, Joel exuded professionalism and friendliness. He showed up right on time, ready to tackle the issue. His warm demeanor immediately put me at ease, and I knew I was in capable hands.

What impressed me the most was Joel's extensive knowledge and experience. He quickly assessed the situation, diagnosed the problem, and explained in simple terms what needed to be done to replace the wax ring. I appreciated how he patiently answered all my questions, never making me feel like I was bothering him.

Once he got to work, it was like watching magic unfold. Joel's skill and precision were mesmerizing. He swiftly removed the old wax ring and installed the new one with absolute accuracy. It was evident that he had performed this task countless times, and his confidence was contagious.

But it wasn't just about speed for Joel. He genuinely cared about the quality of his work. He paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring that everything was aligned perfectly and there would be no future leaks. It was clear that he took immense pride in his craftsmanship.

Throughout the entire process, Joel maintained a clean and organized workspace. He treated my home with respect, and when he finished, there was no mess left behind—just a perfectly functioning toilet.

Even after completing the job, Joel went above and beyond by sharing valuable tips on toilet maintenance to prevent future issues. His commitment to customer satisfaction was truly remarkable.

In conclusion, if you ever encounter a plumbing problem, especially involving your toilet, Joel is the plumber to call. He's not just a plumbing wizard; he's a genuine professional with a passion for his craft. Thank you, Joel, for your exceptional service and for saving the day (and my bathroom!). You've earned yourself a customer for life. Keep being awesome! ⚡🚽

The team arrived promptly, assessed the issue thoroughly, and completed the repair with clear attention to detail. Their polite and professional manner made the process smooth, and the final price was fair for the quick service provided.
