Accolade Plumbing

Jay fixed the problems the other plumbers left incomplete. I sent him my address as he requested and did not hear from him. So I had somebody else over and then he showed up as scheduled. Jay was quick, professional, has proper tools and cleans up afterwards. And he is very polite.

Jay did a great job helping us fix a dishwasher line valve and installing our new dishwasher. He was easy to schedule with, very professional, and very helpful. I highly recommend him!

UPDATE Oct27,2016: had Gabe fix a broken toilet and leaky bathroom faucet. Was able to squeeze me into is schedule very quickly. Excellent quality of work. Explained the repairs in layman's term. Fantastic value for the $ and level of service/expertise. A+++ Best plumber in San Diego.

I can understand why everyone raves about Accolade Plumbing on Yelp! I needed a kitchen faucet replaced. Tried calling another highly rated plumber on Yelp and they wanted $125/hour and couldn't schedule me for over a week. Accolade was able to come the very next day and only charged $85/hour. Gabe was extremely professional, friendly, cleaned up after himself, and did a great job. Highly recommend!!

Jay has provided excellent service each of three times I required plumbing service. He is thorough about explaining the plumbing issue and the fix. His prices are very fair. I would never hesitate to recommend his services to my friends.

Gabriel/Jay was awesome and very reasonably priced :) I found a leak in my garbage disposal over the weekend (of course, always at an inconvenient time), and he was able to come out by Tuesday. He replaced the entire unit in less than an hour, showed me how to reset it if I needed to, and went over all of the maintenance and warranties. Highly recommended. He is extremely thorough and kind. Thank you!!

First Gabriel Jay tried to help me over the phone--said my trouble was simple and I could repair it myself and save 85 bucks.

Whaaaa??? A businessman who could make $85 in ten minutes, turning down that offer?

As it turns out, I had to have him come in anyway; he was done in five minutes, and totally was kind to me about my trouble. He was prompt, swift, neat, and understanding. He asked me to write a review. So here it is.

Hello, five stars!!!

Jay gives the plumbing profession a good name. He very generously offered a simple DIY suggestion to try before spending money on a visit. When it turned out that our apartment's aging garbage disposal needed to be replaced, he came out and was very helpful and honest. I will keep him for my go-to plumber from now on!

Second time we used Gabe - first time was a 5 star review. This time hired him for a sudden water leak behind a wall.

Overall pretty good experience, but a few small issues that did not earn a 5 star review this time. Gabe responded quickly, is an overall nice guy, and seems to know his stuff (good diagnosis skills), has good pricing, but he is somewhat rough around the edges in people skills.

RESULT - $347 - to open walls inside house and diagnose and repair drainage pipe that was leaking. Good diagnosis skills. Also Gabe graciously took a quick look and fixed a kitchen faucet issue.

ISSUES:
1) Gabe almost recommended we pull entire marble cabinet out by hiring another company to pull it out - but I suggested we first try to open the walls a little and see if he could fix it.
2) Did not tell me ahead of time we had to hire a separate drywall repair person, so this added to the overall cost and was a surprise.
3) Scared me how he pounded and shook the pipes to remove them, in my mind risking more damage. I am not a plumber, but I wondered if there was a more delicate way to remove the pipes, without risking further damage.
4) Always brings dog with him (dog pooped on our front lawn, which Gabe cleaned up when I told him about it). We like dogs, but it is odd for any professional to bring a pet with them. And he seemed a little distracted by having the dog with him.

RECOMMENDATION - we would recommend and hire Gabe again. We would just be more cautious about asking what exactly was included and what skills he has related to the ENTIRE job (cabinet removal, dry wall, etc.), to make sure we were on the same page going in.

Jay was great. Came over in half hour in the evening and fixed our drain quick. Life savor. Will always refer accolade

I needed a plumber to come over today and we were sure lucky to have it be Jay! He arrived when he said he would, called when he was on the way, explained what was needed and had the right parts, and got a leak and 3 faucets fixed in record time. Wow. And, he was very attentive to cleaning up the area and making sure everything was working before he left. Great job all around--- and very reasonable cost. Highly recommend--- this is my new ""go to"" for plumbing!.
