A & W Plumbing
Company Overview
When it comes to plumbing, A&W Plumbing is your trusted partner. Next time you need plumbing assistance in Los Gatos or the surrounding region, give us a call. Our skilled plumbers handle everything from blocked drains to sewer line replacements, waterline installations, complete repiping, leak detection, gas line services, tankless water heater setups, traditional water heater installations, and trenchless sewer line replacements. We hold certifications in PEX piping, Trac Pipe gas systems, and butt fusion welding techniques.
At A&W Plumbing, we prioritize exceptional customer service and fair pricing. I established A&W Plumbing 17 years back with my best friend, who was also my coworker at San Jose Water Co. Our vision was to create a thriving plumbing company. Tragically, I lost my partner and best friend to cancer shortly after. I decided to maintain the name as a tribute to him and kept pushing ahead. It’s an honor to have launched A&W Plumbing with him, and I aim to keep our dream alive.
I began my journey at San Jose Water Company in 2000. For the past 17 years, I managed both my plumbing company and my role as a foreman at San Jose Water. I ultimately chose to run A&W Plumbing on a full-time basis. With 17 years of plumbing experience from both the water department and A&W Plumbing, I am adept at working on both large and small pipes. Growing up in the South Bay, I have a deep appreciation for the community I serve. Feel free to contact me anytime for a free estimate or quick advice on your plumbing concerns.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I am writing this review six months after Steve did a complete re-pipe in our house and also installed a new water heater, so I have had plenty of time to form an opinion on his work. My family and I have enjoyed the results with no complaint at all - good water pressure, plenty of hot water, and ability to use both baths at once! He was friendly and responsive, and I could get him on the phone at any time during the few days the job took (from initial visit to final inspection/wrap-up). He kept me informed at every step so I felt very much in control of what was happening, and his team left the place clean each time. On the whole, it was one of the best service experiences I have had. I'll recommend him without hesitation!

Steve of A&W Plumbing was recommended to me by a friend who used him and was very pleased. Steve and his partner Glenn are terrific. They know what they are doing, will insure the job gets done well - and are very professional and personable in their approach. Your days of worrying about finding a reliable competent plumber will be over. I highly recommend A&W Plumbing.

I am really glad that I chose A & W. Steve showed up on time with all necessary parts. He quickly fixed my toilet valve, which saved our day.
I definitely recommend Steve to my friends.

Leaky water heater and didn't know who to call. Read yelp reviews and decided to give A&W a try. Couldn't have been happier with the service. Steve arrived within 15 minutes of my call. He replaced my water heater within hours - very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this company to others!

Over the past week we have had a plumbing leak that has caused damage to our drywall and has been difficult to isolate. I called A&W Plumbing in the morning and Steve said he would be able to come out at the end of the day. Steve was running late and I was getting concerned, but he showed up later in the evening after a long day of work. He brought an imaging camera and we spent a fair bit of time trying to find the leak, as there were many possible areas of concern. Between the two of us we were able to finally find the culprit, a shower door with a leaking seal, and a very, very narrow gap in the corner of the wall that was draining the water into the wall as soon as it came out. Thankfully, no actual repair needed to be done other than recaulking, and because of these circumstances, his pricing was *extremely* generous (without going into specifics). I am very impressed with Steve's service and professionalism and I can recommend him 100 percent.

I wish I could give more stars!
Steve was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional with our plumbing issues.
He took the time to explain the issues in depth with our landlord over the phone.
He was able to quickly resolve the problem.
I would HIGHLY recommend Steve in a heartbeat.
I can't thank him enough for his services.
I feel very lucky to have called him out of all the local choices.

My Whirlpool hot water heater died, I searched Yelp & based on reviews, I decided on A & W Plumbing. I spoke with Steve and the next day a new hot water heater was up and running. That corner in my garage looks good, he put new clean lines, he did a great job!! For his fast and professional service, A & W deserves more than 5 stars!! I will definitely use A & W Plumbing again!! Thank you!!!!

I have used A&W a few times and have always received excellent service. They respond very quickly, they survey the situation and explain what needs to be done that is very easy to grasp. I like how they give you the choice between a quick fix repair or the long term solution. I had to have half my house repiped and they even hauled away all the old pipe and garbage. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone that need a plumber.
Thank you!

Steve and his partner were very professional fast and courteous I would never use another plumbing company ever again. I was quoted half what 10 other companies quoted me to replace my sewer line. Now after the job completion price doesn't matter to me as much because I know these guys are true professionals willing to go the extra mile to get the job done right the first time

My outside sewer line was backed up with what turned out tree roots from street side trees. Steve was able to pullout the roots that were blocking the lines way out of my property sewer hole. He ran the snake three times to make sure I am all clear.
