Review and analyze now for company Handy Rooter & Plumbing and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''I contacted Handy Rooter to replace my kitchen faucet, and they responded to my request very quickly. The price was also very reasonable.
I used Yelp to contact numerous plumbers, but Handy Rooter quoted me the best price. I've used them before in the past, so I already liked their service.
I was able to make an appointment for the next day. On the appointment day, Vu called me in the morning when he was on the way to my house.
I appreciated this call to ensure we were available. Vu quickly assessed my kitchen faucet and determined that my angle stops had to be replaced, too.
Vu worked efficiently and replaced the angle stops first. Then he was able to remove my old faucet and install the new one.
I love my new kitchen faucet! Overall, I highly recommend Handy Rooter. I've used them a few times, and we have always been satisfied customers.
I sent a quote request to Vu at Handy Rooter & Plumbing at 7:45am and he texted me back within 15 minutes. He already had a busy day scheduled, but he fit us in at 11am-12pm.
Then he called me at 10am and asked if could come at 10:30 as he was running early. They arrived on time and had our main sewer line cleared of its blockage within 15 minutes of arriving.
The cost was very reasonable and the service was excellent. Vu was very professional and communicated when he would arrive.
We requested that he wear a mask which he obliged to. He changed out our garbage disposal and fixed both toilets.
He was fast, efficient, and communicated all the service he would provide and the time it would take to fix. Thank you, Vu and Handy Rooter and Plumbing! Handy Rooter & Plumbing has changed out all the parts in an old toilet, which was running and difficult to fix.
They also provided a year warranty, which is better than most. Add do that a reasonable price for the service, and I will not hesitate to call them again for my plumbing needs.
We encountered a hot water issue in our kitchen sink and reached out to several plumbers for assistance. One of the initial plumbers who assessed the problem noted a potential leakage risk in our drainage pipe and suggested replacing it with an ABS pipe to prevent future issues.
However, their quote for this repair, along with replacing our main water valve, was quite high. Seeking another opinion, we contacted Handy, and we're glad we did.
Their quote was much more reasonable compared to others we received. Despite the competitive pricing, Handy didn't compromise on quality.
They efficiently replaced our drainage pipe, main water valve and kitchen sink faucet, ensuring everything was in working order. What impressed us most was Handy's honesty and transparency.
Unlike some other contractors, they didn't push unnecessary repairs or try to upsell us. In fact, when we inquired about replacing our bathroom sink, they advised against it unless absolutely necessary, saving us both time and money.
Overall, we were highly satisfied with Handy's professionalism, fair pricing, and genuine recommendations. If you're in need of plumbing services without the fear of being overcharged, Handy is the way to go.
I had a kitchen drain issue and got quotes from several plumbers. They offered best price, arrived on time and fixed the problem with no difficulties.
I definitely recommend them. Trieu came to replace my broken bathroom sink plug.
He texted me 30 minutes before arrival. Satisfied with his work and pricing.
Got a quick quote from Trieu Sunday. His brother Vu came the next day to replace the water pressure reducer value and made an excellent recommendation to replace a 30-year-old water main valve in just a couple of hours.
I am happy with the workmanship. Had to get my garbage disposal replaced, response and fix was very fast and fees always reasonable.
Not his first time helping me with a job but is my go to plumber. I feel like a learn something new every time about how all this stuff works.
Also i'm an asian household so very much appreciate that he takes off shoes when entering it goes a long way. Fantastic small family business plumber! A couple of years ago we had Trieu fix an issue with our sink backing up and garbage disposal not working that another plumbing company came out for three times over the course of a year without fully fixing (charging each time).
Handy Rooter and Plumbing came out once, in a very timely manner with God communication, gave clear information, and solved the problem. Then, a few months back, our 10+ year old water heater was not working and flashing a warning code.
They were able to give us some advice that fixed the problem without coming out, and for no charge. So when that same water heater started leaking a few weeks ago, we called them to replace it.
Again, communication is great, service is super speedy and well done, and we were given a repeat customer discount. We will absolutely use Handy Rooter and Plumbing for any future plumbing needs.
Quality work. Quick response to my call.
If needed for another plumbing problem.... I wouldn't hesitate to call again.
Trieu was very timely and proficient. We wanted to install an under sink RO and he had already completed his research and installed it in 20 mins.
So far the system is working great (no leaks). We have a years warranty on the labor.
4 years later and my kitchen sink is clogged.. but in my new house.
Who knew not to put pasta down the garbage disposal? who best to get a quote from and quick response right before the holidays? TRIEU! that's who. I told him the issue, and he was up front with cost and was able to schedule me.
Yelp also sends out inquiries to other businesses, and I was surprised at the price difference. One vendor quoted less, but reading their reviews, they up charge.
Trieu has been a stand up guy, super responsive, honest, and affordable with quality work. He is for sure my to go plumber.
Foreals. Vu came and did what I needed done at a reasonable price.
I would hire again. Thank you Handy Rooter & Plumbing! My husband Yelped for a plumber and Vu came out today to fix our bathroom.
He provided a quote ahead and then we scheduled him, he was on time, professional, and did an excellent job. Bathroom is working again and now we have a trustworthy plumber we can count on in the future! Thank you for the quick response, the great service and professionalism.
Vu did a terrific job. We had an issue after install and he returned and corrected the problem.
He was very forth coming and quick to respond to our needs. Good work.
Had a kitchen sink drain pipe that came loose. Gave the best quote.
Came within an hour and took care of it right away. Also told me what to do in the future if a similar situations arises.
And a few more tips/issues to watch out. Will recommend them any day.
We are very glad we contacted Handy Rooter & Plumbing. After reading all the great reviews, we were comfortable contacting them to help with a leaky toilet and happy we did.
I reached out on a Sunday night @ 9:00pm and actually got a response around 9:30pm and successfully scheduled an appointment. Not only did Vu come on time, helped us fix the leak, he also made little replacements that made the toilet less noisy, without us specifically requesting it.
It's just the little things that shine through with their service and skills. Handy Rooter & Plumbing will be my go-to plumbers whenever I need help in the future.
Highly recommend! We highly recommend this company. Trieu was very responsive and got to our place the day of to fix the problem.
Our water softener clogged up our faucets, so we had to flush resin beads out of our plumbing system. He and his fellow worker were in and out of our place within 30mins.
We were so pleased with his service and advice. I would most definitely use this company in the near future.
Thank you again Handy Rooted & Plumbing for your efficiency and customer service! Responsive. Knowledgeable.
Estimate was not outrageous for the task of replacing a bib that had a leak. I will use them again! Trieu was very knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed the problem.
He even taught me how to know the draining issue comes from main or secondary sewage line. Trieu fixed my kitchen + sink + bathtub drainage issues along with a few issues with my shower.
I really appreciate Trieu's professionalism, fast service, and reasonable price. I highly recommend this service.
I called Handy Rooter two weeks go to do some bathroom plumbing work because I had good experience with them replacing some kitchen piping back in 2023. Mr.
Vu set up the appointment within 1 or 2 days after I called. He was punctual, very responsive and did a professional job.
Few days ago, I needed some plumbing work again. Obviously I called Handy Rooter.
Mr. Vu did another perfect job again today.
He's now my "go to" plumber. I highly recommend this company.
My wife contacts Handy rooter for one of our rentals. The problem has been going for years and none of the past plumbers came up with a better solution, which we end up calling rooter every couple year.
Trieu, the owner, handled the problem very knowledgeable and polite. He was not rushing to jump to the worst scenario, which would end up higher quote.
He willingly drove 30 mins to just give an opinion. The quote is very reasonable in compare to other competitors.
We did not end up hiring him because the scope of the work is too small this time. However, we will definitely keep him in touch for any future projects with any of our rentals.
Fast service and very knowledgeable. On time and clean up upon completion.
Would call again for other rooter and plumbing service. Excellent Prompt and Reasonable price always! My garden water pipes are leaking due to old and corroded galvanized iron.
Need replacement and repair fast water bill is paramount water 5 days streaming to the street. Handy Rooter came to the rescue.
Vu assessed the situation and stop the main line to prevent further water loss. Fixed the problem with ease.
Every thing was fixed in less than an hour. They have all their supplies and equipment ready.
Expensive tools. Strong work! These guys are awesome.
Reliable and Reasonable price. Honestly, I would certainly endorse their services to everyone.
Guaranteed. The bathtub at my rental was clogged.
The tenant called another plumbing service first and was told that the P-trap under the tub needed to be replaced plus the main sewer line had roots grown in from a tree next it and need to be cleared, even though the rest of the house was draining just fine... for a total bill of $2200.
The plumber/owner ended up speaking to me on the phone. My intuition told me he wasn't completely honest so I went ahead and tried to get a few other quotes.
It was a Friday night Trieu was the only one who messaged me back and scheduled an appointment for the next day. Trieu was punctual, professional, and excellent at his trade.
Less than a half of an hour later and costing less than 7% of the quote from the other plumber, the tub is draining fine. When I ask about clearing the roots from the main sewer, Trieu told me that the house sewer is working fine.
There is no need to do that now. He'll take care of it when the time comes.
He even texted me a link to purchase a hair trap for the tub so future clogging can be prevented. What a comprehensive service! Thank you so much Trieu for the excellent work you did, more importantly for being honest.
Great response and show-up time. Replaced my guest toilet in a short time, friendly, efficient, professional, and all around excellent rates.
I messaged handy rooter & plumbing and Trieu was super quick! He was able to send someone over that same day. When Vu came he was very respectful and took off his shoes.
Vu was really friendly and did a great job fixing our shower. Definitely would go with them again in the future! Responded right away, showed up an hour later, stayed an hour and fixed the problem.
Also gives a 30day warranty. Prices are very reasonable.
No credit card, FYI. 100% recommend Amazing quality, professionalism and value! Vu was quickly able to assess and determine the best resolution to fix my clogged sinks.
I appreciate his amazing work. Last month Vu came to our new home to talk with me about a couple of potential plumbing issues.
I felt his assessment was very honest, and he certainly was not trying to recommend repairs we didn't need. He recommended the main valve be replaced (which the home inspection report had also recommended).
He replaced the main valve today, which looks much better than the patchwork job with plastic piping previously done. His communication before and through the job was excellent.
Professional, prompt, honest. Communicates everything and works efficiently.
Have used Handy Rooter multiple times and will continue to do so. Communicative and responsive, friendly and polite, quick, easy to deal with, affordable, prompt, and work is well done.
What more can anyone ask for? Highly recommended. Last night, my house's main drain line got clogged.
I called the plumbing service at 9:30 AM, and they came within 2 hours, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was very professional.
They tried a regular drain snake but had to switch to high-pressure water, which finally cleared the clog after a second attempt. After cleaning the drain, they used a camera to check for any damage.
Thankfully, there was none, just an extra T-shaped section before connecting to the city sewer line. They also used a detection machine to show me where it was, so I could add a drain cleanout there.
The service was excellent, and the cost was reasonable. Highly recommended! T from Handy Rooter never disappoints! If you need a reliable plumber who responds in a timely manner, shows up on time, gives honest advice, and gets the job done, Handy Rooter is the one to call.
Both bathrooms in the house were clogged. They came out same day and got it fixed quickly and at a very reasonable price.
Top notch service, highly recommended. We needed a Kitchen Faucet replaced...We bought it a LOWES...Their in house installers seemed OK...But we wanted to get established with a Local Plumber that has a broad range of services...
We use YELP ratings to narrow our search... We made calls to other plumbers and they either didn't service our area or would not commit to a Approximate Cost...I know every install would be different but ours was a DIRECT replacement and so a "Ballpark Price" seemed doable....
The phone call to Handy for the appointment was very pain free. All the Appropriate Questions were asked by Handy...
AND they gave a QUOTE that was very CLOSE to the LOWES in house installers. Handy Showed up when promised.
Tim ( Our Installer ) was Efficient and Courteous AND VERY Thorough.... We are VERY Happy with the service and can HIGHLY recommend Handy The ultimate complement is we will use them again..
I obtained quotes from several providers, and he offered the most reasonable price. He arrived on time, even giving a call beforehand to confirm the arrival time.
The installation was done quickly and efficiently. He also took away the old toilet, and a one-year after-sales service was provided.
The site was left clean and tidy. I had a leaking hose bibb in front of my yard, so I called Handy Rooter & Plumbing.
Mr Trieu showed up quickly, on time, and provided excellent service. He was honest and went through on things that needed to be relaced and what not (saving me on unnecessary cost).
He's very friendly and might give you a discount. Just give him a call and he will take care of your plumbing.
I've been through way too many plumbers since I've lived in San Jose. I've generally found them through Yelp, and they've ranged from decent to good for the most part.
These guys are above that and I think my search has now stopped to find a "great" plumber. These guys are it.
I've mainly dealt with Vu, and what I like about him is that he is no-nonsense, quick, and honest. I call, he answers, he comes over, and he fixes the problem.
So fast. So efficient.
So easy. And very fair in their pricing.
The 5-star reviews for them are earned and they know their stuff! Very much appreciated!!! Very responsive and gave us a reasonable price to install our faucet. Highly recommend him and would work with him again.
Another 5 star rating. Trieu and Vu have been servicing my home for years.
Their great service and reasonable pricing is why I always call them first when I need a good plumber. Most recently Vu helped me fix a shower dripping issue.
He fixed the problem in about 20 mins, very professional and friendly, kept my place extremely clean, in and out with no fuss, problem solved. Time before that, I called because of a funny smell coming out of one of my bathroom drains that persisted even after I thoroughly cleaned it.
Trieu came over and told me that he thinks it could be a part replacement but he couldn't guarantee the smell wasnt coming from elsewhere. He offered to replace the part but told me the smell could still be there after if it was coming from deeper inside the wall.
I appreciated the honesty and paid him to replace the part anyway since the pricing was very fair and worst case I replace the 20 year old part with a brand new one. Luckily it completely resolved the issue and smell was gone right after Trieu installed it, no problems since.
I highly recommend Handy Rooter/Plumbing to anyone who needs a good plumber. Experienced drainage problem within the whole house.
Knew it was a blocked main drain to the septic tank. Called Trieu first thing this morning.
He promptly returned my call, gave me an estimate and was out to my house within the hour. I had an outside clean out and knew which direction the blockage occurred.
The fortunate thing was that Trieu had an extra long cable, 100 feet to reach the blockage. Not everyone has a cable this long.
He was done within 30 minutes. Fast, efficient service at a fair price.
I appreciated his expert assessment and timely service. Handy Rooter will be my go to company for all my future plumbing needs.
Contacted Trieu in the morning, got an instant quote over the phone fixed the shower fixtures & also the toilet the same day. Honest & Reliable offers a one year warranty of their work.
Give them a call if you need any plumbing issues My water main line was leaking and Vu figured it out quickly and provided me with a quote on the spot. It turned out that he had been working for another house right next to the street.
He walked though how to replace the old one with a new one with me, offering me the availability to work on it tomorrow as an emergency. He and his crew replaced the main water line from meter to main shutoff valve 50' by copper pipe 1 inch.
Everything is back to normal, thanks to them for doing a great job! After our new clothes washer was delivered, it became apparent that to install it, we needed to update the water connections. After a few hours of trying to do it on our own with the help of YouTube, we realized we were out of our depth and found Handy Rooter on Yelp.
Trieu was able to come out that same afternoon. We sent him a picture of the issue and he gave us a quote, which seemed fair.
He even showed up a little early (after texting an update) and completed the repair/update to our pipes within 30 minutes. We will DEFINITELY call him again for any plumbing issues.
Fast, trustworthy and excellent work. FIVE STARS! Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2020 Yelp Grade: A+ Handy Rooter & Plumbing is on my list of trust worthy vendors whom I've found on Yelp.
We first used their services in November 2019 when our sink was clogged. Just as luck would have it we had a plumbing issue days before Thanksgiving.
This was a different issue from the time before. Thankfully, we were able to get an appointment.
Trieu and his team arrived on time and were wearing the proper personal protective equipment- face masks and gloves. They were able to diagnose our problem and fix it in now time flat.
Excellent workmanship, fair prices and a good disposition make Handy Rooter & Plumbing number one in my Yelp Notebook. I highly recommend them to our family and friends.
We are very thankful to have found such a good company through a random Yelp search in 2019. They consistently show they are a good company and their work is the best quality around.
Noelle's Notes: Recommended to all our family and friends. Great customer service and fair prices.
Came out a couple of hours after I called and unclogged our kitchen drain. Thanks Vu!! Was very pleased with Handy Rooter & Plumbing.
They answered the phone right away and were able to come out to my house to clear my main drain within a couple hours. I didn't really get to shop around but price seemed reasonable to me.
Will definitely call them again for my plumbing issues. Any plumbing issue I call Handy rooters.
Very honest, quick and reliable. Always gives the right guidance and advice.
Once I had a under concrete water leakage, everyone gave me very high quotes to fix it, and this guy was the one who gave me very reasonable rates. I will definitely recommend him any day.
I hired Handy Rooter & Plumbing to re-install a toilet wax ring after i noticed some leaking around the base of my toilet. Trieu responded on yelp within minutes & we set up a time for the install on the same day.
They installed the wax ring without incident and cleaned up the work area leaving it better than it was when they arrived! Trieu also went into my crawl space to check for leaks and took pictures & video from there to show me - because i'm too fat to fit down there :) Overall, i had a great experience and would definitely use Handy Rooter again! Vu did a good job on fixing a drain leak on second floor and also installing a new kitchen faucet. I picked this company because of their Yelp reviews.
They are fully deserved! They arrived on time and we're all business. They got the work done quickly and the cost was acceptable.
I will pick them in future for all my plumbing needs. My garbage disposal was leaking so I reached out to a few 5 Stars rooter and plumbing companies.
Handy plumbing had the most 5 Stars reviews. Trieu gave me a quote within 10 minutes of me sending him a message.
His brother Vu came on time of the appointment. Replaced the garbage disposal and fixed a few leaking pipes.
He came back the next time on time to fix one more pipe with a few drips. Excellent customer service and their price was actually a little lower than companies with less 5 Stars reviews than them so definitely a plus.
I highly recommend Handy Rooter and Plumbing. Thank you for the help guys.
I am not a successful adult. What comes with being a successful adult means being able to troubleshoot simple issues such as your home's water heater turning off.
After our water heater turned off, my mom and I had no idea what to do next. Since we didn't want to take the chance and ruin things even more, we decided to call Trieu.
Trieu and his coworker (employee?) were able to come over the next day to see what the issue was. Turns out, it was a simple issue and fix.
Trieu explained to us what happened, some tips, and told us how to contact the water tank's company if we had any further issues (if the tank itself ends up being an issue in the future). What stood out was Trieu showing my family and I how to fix this issue and what to look for.
I feel like other people would have just fixed it and left us for chumps waiting for us to call again and be charged. Definitely a 5 star service! Trieu was prompt, professional, and efficient.
We'll definitely call for his services if we need it in the future! I had a toilet clog and got a quick response with a good quote! It was really kind to make an appointment with me for the next morning and my toilet was unclogged within minutes! Thank you so much! Our kitchen drainage broke down. We called Trieu and he arrived on time to inspect the situation.
He also gave us a quote and helped us close the loop with warranty company. I highly recommend him.
I called in the morning and they were able to come out that afternoon to install a kitchen faucet. They were on time, very professional and got the job done quickly and at a good price.
Highly recommended! They did A great job! The original shutoff valves are leaking. They fixed them in an hour.
They used more materials than expected but they didn't charge more because of that. The issue was fixed completely and result is nice and clean.
Hallelujah, I've found MY plumber. Extremely responsive for a price quote for a clogged kitchen sink as well as throughout the entire process for setting up an appointment.
Reasonable prices Knowledgeable Very attentive Professional Answered all the questions I had (and I had plenty!) I was so satisfied, I called them back to look into other issues I had as well and they did an excellent job. Will recommend and definitely be a loyal long time customer.
Great communication, fast and reliable service. I quoted out to a few places and Handy wasn't the cheapest but the yelp reviews raved their work.
I gave them a shot, Duc and Vu came to my place to replace laundry valves. Mine was gross and corroded and leaking.
Also wanted them to change out the shower valve since I had a slow leak. They suggested I needed more work on my shower valve and told me what is needed.
However didn't pressure to change it out soon or this will explode. They said it is ok and if it gets slightly worse then call them.
Thr laundry valves were a quick fix and they installed it. All in all I'd recommend them and will use their service again.
The parts and work have a 1 year warranty and can be fixed in 24 hrs. Great Experience! Trieu came earlier than expected.
Diagnosed our leaking pipe under the house in minutes. Explained the problem throughly and fixed it on the spot in no time! I highly recommend for any plumbing issues.
Extremely reasonable pricing as well! We reached out to Handy Rooter & Plumbing to help us identify a water leak in our house. They were extremely helpful and never tried to upsell us anything at any point which we very much appreciated.
Trieu referred us to another water leak detection company to help us identify the source. We highly recommend Trieu and Handy Rooter & Plumbing for their honesty and professionalism.
Thanks again! Fixed toilet. Prompt and efficient, tidy work, took shoes off inside the house without having to be asked, wore masks on request, better pricing than I expected, 30-day warranty.
Would recommend. I would rate them 5 stars for quick response time, fast fix and no nonsense honest recommendations.
I had repaired my own toilet fill valve (yay me!), but in reconnecting the water, I found a leak. Fearing the worst, I called, and the gentleman called me back in 20 minutes, asked me a few questions, and then asked me to send photos of the suspect parts over text.
He immediately called me back and gave me the great news: it was an easy fix, and I could do it myself. He then texted me the part info at Home Depot.
40 minutes (5 minutes of installation) and I was done. Long story short: he put $$$ back into my pocket.
When does a plumber do that? I'd definitely put him at the top of my list for my next *real* plumbing problem. Thank you! Being a first time home owner we were referred to Handy Rooter & Plumbing to help when our sewer line backed up.
Everyone we had called told us they couldn't come for a week. Trieu was able to come that day when he heard how frantic we were about our issue.
He has now come for a few other items we wanted his opinion on and he was great! I won't be going to a different business. They are our guys.
You're in good hands. I contacted Handy R&P because they had great reviews.
Well, here is one more. I was having a problem with odor emanating from our utility sink that is connected to the same drain as our washer.
The plumber,Vu, came to our house exactly when he had told us he would. He told us what the problem was and how to fix it easily.
He did not want to take any money for his service because he felt he hadn't really done a repair. Now, when have you ever had a repair man refuse to take money.
I will definitely use them again. Finding a skilled professional you can trust is like gold.
I would give them 10 stars if I could. Our water heater went dead on us one morning .
I asked my HOA community and one of my former neighbor highly recommended Handy Rooter . We called / texted them and within 15m , the owner provided me an estimate .
This company also gets great reviews from satisfied customers . His workmanship surpassed our expectations.
We r greatly appreciated his prompt responses, his excellent code of conducts. He will be the one we would go to for all of our household's plumbing issues ! Friday December 22, 2023 called about 5 pm to ask for shower drain rroter service, hoping for Saturday.
Instead, after getting my address, he said he could be here in 35 minutes and he was. Focused on the task and even gave me an estimate on some damage a roomer had left in another bathroom.
Both for very competitive prices. Amazing.
Will call again. Very fast and efficient, no hassle or annoying "up-selling".
Got the job done right, and didn't complain of anything. Thank you Handy Rooter! Unclogged a drain for me.
Very fast, friendly, and professional. This is the second time I've used them and continue to be very happy with their service! Must hire - look no further.
Vu is very good, reliable and punctual. Called Sunday afternoon, diagnosed problems, got a quote in the evening for Monday am.
Vu picked up the new toilet from HD, and together with a co-worker fixed the problem and put in a new toilet within an hour!!! All done by 10.30 AM Monday!!! Super excellent!! So happy :) Details: Toilet clogged, overflowed & when flushed created a huge whirlpool or pressure. After trying to unblock using a plunger, water started seeping out from around bottom of the bowl.
Called Home Warranty, got assigned to a company with poor Yelp rating... decided to hire own subcontractor.
A risk to opt "out-of-network" but it pays off if you find someone like HANDY ROOTER & PLUMBING! - Fast, trustworthy, professional and no-nonsense. 5 stars all around for Handy Rooter & Plumbing! I had a kitchen faucet leak that required a replacement, The communication was quick, easy and simple.
Response time was speedy and Vu courtesy texted me to ask if it's ok to arrive a few minutes early. Who doesn't like an on time person, but I love an early arrival! Vu is professional & extremely courteous! He respectfully removed his shoes at the door.
(I didn't request this from him) He prepared his work area with floor covering to protect my kitchen floor and once the job was completed, he cleaned up so well and left my kitchen spotless and cleaner than it was left for him. These guys are honest, up front, reasonable rates! Give these guys a call! You won't be disappointed! We used them to install a hose bibb to a pvc pipe.
Although it's a small job, Trieu is Very quick with quotes with reasonable price. They arrived on time and finished the job quickly.
The owner Trieu is also very honest. There is a hose bibbs that i thought is leaking but he explained it's due to a water pressure adjuster on the bibbs and is totally normal.
I asked him if I need to add a neutralizer to my condense water drain which lead to a pvc pipe. He said pvc is resistant to acidic condense water so I do t need to install a neutralizer.
We will recommend him to all my friends. Let me call out the most popular job in the Bay Area - plumbing.
I called Handy Rooter and they got back to me the same day and even fixed a time after learning about my plumbing issue. Super courteous over the phone and equally courteous when the plumber arrived.
We nailed a time after a couple of texts and phone calls. The plumber just got to work - no extra chit chatting (I was super stressed about the problem at hand too) and really there just to fix the problem.
Really appreciated the attention to work and asking all the right questions to get to the bottom of it. It took a little while for the plumber to work on fixing the issue and he did not demonstrate any impatience -- just dedication.
I am explicitly calling out the professionalism because I've dealt with a breadth of plumbers over the summer last year who were rude, sexist and unprofessional just over the phone. Thank you Handy Rooter for being to the point, paying full attention to my massive plumbing issue and being so courteous throughout the experience.
You took care of a mess for me that I could not solve on my own with professionalism I haven't experienced in a long time in the service industry. My electrician needed me to remove and cap an outdoor hose bibb that was too close to the electrical panel, and that I never used anyway.
I couldn't remove it because it was painted over and calcified. I sent out for quotes and Trieu was quick to respond and provided a competitive price.
We exchanged some messages and he and his team were here two days later (it was a no-rush job) and they got the work done in 15 minutes. I'm very pleased with the results and I'll keep them first in mind next time I need other plumbing services.
Thank you kindly! Handy Rooter & Plumbing has assisted me twice within this past year with two separate clogs that I had. Trieu is quick to respond via text and both he and his brother are nice, quick, and arrives on time! I'd highly recommend Trieu and his team for all your plumbing needs.
Thank you Trieu for your help! Our washing machine was causing the pipes in the walls to reverberate constantly whenever we washed clothes because of the high pressure. Trieu answered right away, and came out the same day! After diagnosing the problem and offering a couple of solutions, we decided to try the cheapest and least invasive (a damper directly on the intake from the water pipes to the washer), as well as reducing the overall water pressure to the entire house at the street level.
Both fixes worked beautifully, and now the walls/pipes are a lot calmer as a result! Highly recommend Handy Rooter because of his expediency, knowledge, and friendliness. I despise giving a bad review.
But these people overcharged me. Likely, you won't pay the estimate you were given.
You may end up paying a lot more. The callout was to replace the toiled bowl and, in the process, they advised that the angle stop and supply line required replacing because the stop was stuck.
Fair enough, but they charged us $175 (25 part + 150 labor) just for that! My wife who attended accepted the charge. I found it over the top, so I called them the next day and I asked them how this charge is justified.
The owner said that yes, it was a 5-minute job but they would not charge extra if something was going wrong and they warranty the work for a year. I'm not convinced.
The charge is as if something WILL go wrong, every time. I used another plumber to replace a second toilet bowl in my house and they charged me $65 for replacing the angle stop and supply line.
And the job was just as good. Quality work.
2 stars'''.
