    Was staying at my sisters recently purchased property by the pier. A pipe broke at night and they saved us. The owner who was familiar with the building even came by and help me find the shutoff before his worker showed up.

    Very courteous, professional and friendly service. Dave went above and beyond and did thorough, quality work. I will definitely use Doheny again if I need a plumber in the future.

    Brandon S. was awesome, I had complained of two drain lines leaking and he came out and investigated, found that what I thought was a leak was actually my hot water lines experiencing thermal-expansion. He saved my walls and put my worries to rest. He also replaced a drain line that had leaked in the past, cleaned the lines as well from years of sludge build up. Great service, very knowledgeable plumber, highly recommend.

    Fantastic customer service. Great communication. Doheny went above and beyond to address our water heater issue and coordinate with the restoration company. Highly recommend this company!

    I have been using Doheny Plumbing for many years. They are extremely reliable and honest. I would highly recommend this plumbing company. Always a pleasure to work with.

    First of all, the owner Jared told my husband he doesn't mind if we post poor reviews or tell our friends because they have been in business for so long they are fine. Very long story but they came out the first time to fix a clogged underground pipe. The guys put a camera down and tried to clear it but couldn't. They said there might be some roots inside and they would need to come back with some water shooting thing to clear it. They said FOR SURE that would clear it no problem at all. I paid them $299 to tell me that. (way too much and I should've known then). It was $799 to come back to do the water thing. Jared told my husband they would send their senior guys who knew what they were doing. The guys came out. They were very nice. They were unable to clear the roots and said it would be another $1400 at least to jackhammer pavement and try to go in and fix it. I said I would think about it but I am not doing it. I was charged $665 for them to come out and tell me the same thing the first guys did. So I have now paid almost $1000 and nothing has been fixed. Jared said "that is business and nothing is guaranteed". My advice is to steer clear of Jared and Doheny Plumbing.

    Doheny plumbing came recommended through my contractor who saw them do an awesome job before. Time will tell if that is the case for the work they finished for me today. What I really don't like about them, is the way I was charged. First, they refused to give me a quote for the work and said they work per hour ($165 per first hour and thereafter $145/h). Then I was dragged into useless conversations about where to place the sink and so on and the guy had to see sink (although I told him that this was the contractor job, not him, he had to place a clean out and my contractor will do the rest). I called my contractor to have this conversation with him, as I sensed, the guy was just dragging time. Anyways, when the contractor came in 15 minutes, the guy from Doheny abandoned what he was telling me and just went with the simple obvious solution (as he knew he cannot pull that with a contractor). Then, he left to buy material for a whole hour for which I was charged in time. So, in the end, for 2-3 hour work (unclog drain and place cleanout on it as well as camera inspection of drain) I ended paying $791.10. He came in knowing they are placing a cleanout, but did have the material they needed for it, making me pay for material as well as a whole hour he left to get it! So, I recommend this company for people who don't really care about their money! I do!

    A friend recommended Doheny recently after some so so results elsewhere, I called them and they sent over JT. JT's customer service, desire to do the job right, and ability to do the job right were EXCEPTIONAL! The issue had been something that had been a problem for a couple of years and at least one other firm had tried and failed to correct it. JT worked hard and solved it in one trip. He also stuck around longer to fix a faulty feed tap on one of the toilets that had clearly seized up allowing me to do the rest of the work on the toilet myself.

    I would definitely recommend this company and I sincerely hope that if I need their assistance, that they consider sending JT again. A great guy who did a great job.

    Always a great experience with Doheny plumbing. Been using them for years and no complaints. All their techs are clean and professional and don’t leave a mess behind when they are done.

    JT was awesome, very professional. Will definitely use him again. Recommend Doheny plumbing for all your plumbing needs.

    was quoted a reasonable fee over the phone, then when they arrived the work fee had doubled, then when they finally finished the job the final bill was over the second estimate saying it took longer than expected, and of course they bill by the hour, not the job. wont use them again. my advice is to get a concrete answer on what your bill is going to be up front.

    Zane was very friendly and professional. Upon arrival, he got right to the job, clearing my clogged up stairs bathroom drain. He was very efficient and even gave me extra tips and hints on how to keep the drain as clear as possible, in the future. (He had to take the "snake", which was on wheels, up my carpeted stairs... I noticed the wheels were covered with "booties" to keep the carpet clean. Nice touch). Thank you, once again, for one of your great plumbers from Doheny Plumbing!

    JT did a great job installing a new refrigerator ice maker valve. The job only took an hour and half and made sure the area was clean before he left. I would recommend Doheny for any of your plumbing needs.

    Suwat is the man! He is very professional, very kind and super knowledgeable. He’s repaired a couple of issues in my bathroom regarding my bathtub/toilet. He does a great job! I highly recommend Suwat and Doheny Plumbing for any type of plumbing projects/concerns you may have!

    Really nice to deal with a an organization that treats you in a friendly and professional manner. I cannot say enough about Suwat who has helped me twice and both times found some small things that he immediately fixed in addition to the valve he replaced in the kitchen. He also explains things in a way that is easy to understand. Doheny has been around and grown over the years and that is not an accident. Let me also put in a plug for Mike who makes sure that I get scheduled as soon as possible.

    Bathroom toilet flooded front of house Sunday morning, I called at 530am, Ron was incredibly kind and came right out.
    Ron’s knowledge and compassion put me at ease immediately.
    I cannot speak highly enough for the Doheny plumbing ‘family’, they are professional, knowledgeable, and always friendly - they’ve always given the best advice with options and financially reasonable, they do not take advantage, no price gouging.
    We highly recommend Doheny Plumbing!

    Once again, Doheny plumbing, does it again. Not only did the experience start off great with Mike calling to schedule an appointment but when the guys came out they made this whole experience so much easier! Ron and Chris are extremely professional and do their best to provide an immediate fix to the best of their abilities. Ron is very thorough in explaining the situation at hand and really goes above and beyond when delivering a solution. I would definitely keep using Doheny plumbing and reccomend it to all of my friends and family. They made this whole dilemma into an easy fix that won’t overtake our holidays Thank you so much Mike, Ron and Chris!

    JT with Doheny did a great job replacing our cracked cast iron drain pipe. He was on time, friendly, worked in a difficult location to replace the pipe, and quoted a fair price, which didn’t change when the job was completed. Great, dependable, fair-priced work. Highly recommend!

    I can’t say enough good things. I had a very tight timeline to get two sinks fixed and JT was very accommodating in meeting that timeline. He was kind, professional, and went above and beyond to help me out on a challenging day when I had other appointments and was in and out of the condo. He fixed everything, cleaned up, and the price was very affordable. Highly recommend.

    Garret and Austin with Clear Water are the best! Quickly came to our aid when we had a sudden leak, performed a leak detection and clearly explained our options. We opted for a full Repipe and they were able to get the job done quickly and at a fair price. Very friendly service, 100% recommend

    Many aspects of our dealings with Clear Water Plumbing make it a 5 star company. Communication is great, from the email confirmation of our appointment time to the text message alerting us to the plumber’s status enroute to our home. Garrett is also very upfront about any issues that we should know about.
    As for the actual work, Garrett again merits 5 stars. He was on time, did a great job replacing our faucet, and he left the area neat. He also installed a water conditioner made by Halo, and that work was done very well, too. In fact, Garrett improved upon the existing plumbing configuration of our House Pure filter.
    Finally, his advice about how to handle issues that arose was thorough and clear, and his efforts to insure this customer’s satisfaction were spot on.
