Recommended Customer Reviews

So I purchased and installed two brand new toilets about a month ago.
Sunday (of course right before the superbowl) I discovered that one of them was leaking. I had no idea why or who to call...so yelp to the rescue...
Scott is (one word).....AWESOME!
Can't say enough...
I called after five...he answered.
Due to work I couldn't meet until noon the next day....he was 15 mins early and called to let me know he was waiting
He walked in looked at it, told me what the problem was, fixed it.....all in less than an hour
He recaulked the part around the base, cleaned up and left the bathroom in an awesome condition
He garranteed his work for a year! Fantastic.
Thanks Scott!

I have used Scott, from Able Plumbing for several years. He is very reliable and does fine work.

The city had some contractors do pipe work on our street a while back and since then, the water pressure in our house has been off. We couldn't use multiple water lines (i.e, when showering, we couldn't do laundry or use the sink. Otherwise, we would get almost no water running)
We first had the city come in and take a look at the pressure and they of course did not want to take responsibility and suggested that we needed a new regulator and change 2 of the valves. Scott showed up today and to assess the situation. He was able to isolate a few things and find the root cause of the problem in 20 mins. This was suppose to be a free of charge assessment (as he had mention over the phone), but since he help us figure what the problem was, we gave him a little of cash.
He does charge $95 a visit, so i would describe the problem with him over the phone and then be clear on what expectations are from both ends.

Scott has worked on little things we've had go on around the house and few times and has always been prompt and incredibly reasonable with his prices.
He is wonderful and I can't say enough for what great work he does and what great customer service he provides.

Scott answered immediately, was at my home within the hour, and had the drain unplugged within 2 hours of my call.

I called Able Plumbing and Scott, the owner, answered the phone himself. He was friendly and offered to unclog the shower drain in my Serra Mesa home the same day. I also had him look at several other issues and he returned a few days later to fix both of my toilets a bathroom sink and he installed a new faucet and shower head I bought at Lowes.
Scott is a very nice and soft-spoken man. He has a wonderful attention to detail and alerted me to some issues I didn't even know I had. He as punctual and honest about the cost for the work.
Though I would like to keep him to myself as one of my ""homeowner's best-kept secrets"" I highly recommend Scott for both his excellent work and his great integrity!

Our toilet was running/leaking and making a constant tapping noise. Gave Scott a call based on previous Yelp reviews. He was so friendly on the phone. I was worried about being charged a crazy fee on a weekend, but he assured me that Saturday morning would cost the same as Monday. He also explained that he can come by, give me an estimate, and I can make my decision at that point, with no charge if I decided not to do anything.
Scott came by this morning to assess my situation, gave me a real picture of what was going on and what needed to be done and a quote.
We rent our unit, and because major work needed to be done, I needed to check with my landlord first.
Our landlord decided against it and told us he'd get it fixed himself.
If it was just me, I would have moved forward with Scott in a heartbeat. He was straight up and honest and I could tell he was all about doing an efficient job.

I called Able Plumbing based on a recommendation from my neighbor. I am glad I did. Scott delivers prompt and courteous service. He actually charged me less than he quoted. I would definitely use Able Plumbing again.

Scott was prompt and honest. Came and fixed my problem the best and most convenient way possible. I understand one can never know what you're getting into until you're there but the quote over the phone was very accurate.
I'm very happy to find someone in the neighborhood and will be recommended him as well as using him in the future.
Thanks!

Fast, professional and very reasonably priced! I've called this plumber twice and am completely satisfied with the service provided.
