Best Plumbers in Oakland, CA

Felix did our sewer lateral and it was seamless and reasonably priced. He's trustworthy and a good communicator, showed us exactly what's going on in the pipes on camera as he was doing the work, and we actually learned things about our new house that we didn't know. He's come out another few times and quickly fixed water pressure issues at no extra charge, which turned out to be minor problems that many other plumbers would've charged $100 just to visit.

Bryan knows his stuff. He fixed a drainage problem related to a washer a few years ago. The same problem had been fixed three times in the past 18 months and he understood what needed to be done for a more permanent solution.

So, when my tenant had a blocked drain, I called him. He was responsive and fast. Unfortunately, that same evening, the tenant reported a leak that went through the ceiling. Called Bryan and and again he was responsive and came out the next day. He showed me where those same pipes had been fixed recently (within the past 10 years) so I understood it was not his work that caused the problem. Bryan took two hours to buy replacement piece and fix the leak. The charge was $600 for a small piece of pipe and two total hours. I thought that was pricey - the only time I've paid anywhere close to $300 per hour was for a structural engineer. OK, I understand - I'm paying for expertise and peace of mind.

The problem arose when I had a contractor come to close up the ceiling. He pointed out that the fixed pipe should be connected in a Y fashion (45 degree) rather than 90 degree for better flow and to prevent another blockage. He also pointed out that the diameter of the connecting piece did not match, which also inhibits flow When I talked to Bryan about his work, he explained that he was only replacing the broken pipe as it had been. He did not think it his responsibility to fix the situation. Bryan never brought up that a slightly different piece (45 degree angle)was better or that the diameters of the pipes did not match. He did offer to make the Y connection but he thought I was cheating him by asking him to change out the 2 inch piece that was a different diameter. At $300 an hour, you decide the level of expertise that should be applied...

I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone. They came out on a Sunday which is highly unusual and they did an excellent job explaining everything to me and they were very fair in their pricing. They were extremely professional.

Tony has helped us with many small problems with our old plumbing at our house and he definitely deserved a review. Long overdue indeed. This time I called him to replace our toilet. Tony was again awesome. Definitely our plumbing professional

I had a clogged toilet and this plumber came to my house in less than an hour, fixed the problem, and did not overcharge me. If you need to fix your toilet, I would highly recommend you call this plumber!

I have used this company for other plumbing needs as I am using today as well! I couldn’t think of using anyone else. 5 mins and done ! Absolutely amazing thank you guys!

Daniel provided me with helpful and insightful information about my home office mini split. He is knowledgeable and skillful. Super nice guy and very up front with the prices. We appreciate deeply his services.

First off, I am not related nor know anyone affiliated with Patriot Plumbing. This review is based on fair judgement with no biased objective.
Now to the review. Jimmy arrived at my house on time. I had a pipe fixed in the basement area.
He did a great job, explained the job at hand and was very friendly and well mannered. The price for his time was good, too!
We are happy that we have found a plumbing company that provides reliability, trust, workmanship and service all at a fair and reasonable price.
You won’t be disappointed!

The owner of this company did a job for him on a shower glass for his house valued at $ 2000, the guy wanted to go smart and only paid me $ 1000, he kept the rest of the money and kept the glass, he didn't want to pay the other money inventing that he did not like glass and it was what he asked I wanted to fix the problem in several ways and there was no solution The scoundrel wanted to keep my money and the glass without paying

I attach photos of the glasses that were installed in their struggles which I do not pay
