Advanced Quality Plumbing

Steve is just amazing! He came out the day I called after he had completed a whole days work. A simple clog turned out to more than that, but Steve handled it with grace and ease. He is most definitely better than the rest!!

Thank You!!!

Steve is the BEST! I have called him out to my Santa Clara home more than once. I was referred to him by another plumbing company that specializes in larger jobs like re-pipes.

The last call I had with Steve was to clean the drain pipes to my laundry just because I had the washer being replaced. He really went out of his way to do it even though the venting and drain were installed improperly (even though he pointed this out I already knew it).

Selected Alfred Williams Plumbing from the Consumer Checkbook (have never gotten a loser based on their ratings). Have had them do a number of jobs : disposal replacement, kitchen sink faucet replacement, bathroom shutoff valve replacement and a washing machine clogged output drain. They are always prompt getting back when called, arrive at appointments when scheduled. Quality work, I have never had to call them back. Very reasonable rates.

I was referred to Alfred Williams Plumbing by a neighbor, years ago, and have used his services on several occasions -- both to install a water line to a refrigerator ice maker and to rotor-root tree roots that periodically clog up my pipes. I have referred the service to family members, friends and neighbors, and everyone has been most impressed with the speed of service, quality of work, and price. I can recommend this business without hesitation.

I almost hate to write this because Steve is so good, I don't want to make him hard to schedule when I need him. He fixed my bathroom and kitchen sinks and got me a new garbage disposal for a reasonable cost. I thought I would need a main line clean out (mucho expensivo) but he said no. He is totally punctual. Please don't believe me... I want to keep him a secret!

Our very old water heater started a slow leak and so we called multiple firms to get an estimate on the water heater. We also checked on checkbook, Angie's list, yelp, etc. for references and Alfred Williams (though the plumber goes by Steve) was the plumber we chose to replace our water heater.
He has an answering service which is really nice as you talk to a real person who relays your message to him and he typically calls back in 5-20 minutes. He gave us a quote that was competitive with the other over the phone quotes. I had done research in the past on water heaters and what parts are and are not neeed as I knew we would eventually need our unit replaced and his recommendations confirmed what I had already read. He also did not try to sell us any unneeded extras. He came within a day since our repair was not urgent and spent about four hours hooking up the new water heater (our plumbing is from the 50's so several of the pipes were a bit hard to work with). He was professional, knowledgeable, and has years of plumbing experience. We were very pleased with the installation and have not had any issues since it was installed. We would definitely use him again in the future.

Alfred williams plumbing was the BEST experience in my life when it comes to plumbing.I called 3 or 4 companies to see what is the best price. One company came and told me $900.00 just to fix the leaking pipe in my kitche,. and then he said he will call somebody to disinfect the mud that the leak created under my house... that means it will cost me more than 900. I told the guy that I'm still checking around he then called his boss and explain to her what he will do. He said he will cut the wall under my sink etc etc. People sometimes think that women are plain stupid when it comes to some mens job. One company called me and do a lot of sales talk. I told him that he is a good saleman but I really don't trust them. Next day guy came from this company, I was not home that time and my husband was home. He called me and told me that they have a better deal. So i talk to this guy and he told me $550.. I was alittle happy that it is cheaper but I know that there is a catch then he said I will disinfect the mud etc etc and the TOTAL IS $$$$$$$$$$2400.00...again 2400.00 I SAID WHAT$$$$$ forget it but he won't stop explaining to me what he will do but I told him no no no forget it but he wants me to listen to him what he will do and got mad at me when I said I know and undersrtand what he is going to do an again told him that we will call him he then said he can lower it to 1800.00. I was very upset to think that people really will take advantage of you BIG TIME if you are not careful.

NEXT DAY MY HUSBAND CALLED ME FROM WORK AND TOLD ME STEVE CAME AND LOOK AT THE LEAK. HE SAID HE CAN DO IT FOR $380.00 OR MAYBE LESS AND WILL GIVE US A SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT. HE WILL WAIT FOR FEW DAYS TILL THE MUD DRIES UP SINCE IT STARTED TO DRY UP. FRIDAY STEVE CAME AND FIXED THE LEAK AND CHARGED US $180.00 RIGHT $180.00.

WHEN THESE DISHONEST PEOPLE CAME AND TOLD US ABOIUT THE AMOUNT (FROM $900.PLUS TO $2400.00) WE HAVE TO PAY I WAS VERY STRESSED. I HAVE THAT MONEY BUT I AM SAVING IT FOR MY 2 DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL AND APT. RENTAL.
I PRAYED THAT NIGHT AND GAVE IT ALL TO GOD. I KNOW GOD LISTENED TO ME A SEND STEVE TO HELP US.
TO ALL HONEST PEOPLE LIKE STEVE ....THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY. I CALLED YOUR COMPANY TO THANK YOU AND I WILL DEFINITELY REFER YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS. I WISH I CAN GIVE MORE THAN 5 STARS

Nelson Plumbing referred me to Alfred Williams Plumbing for some work I needed done; specifically replacing the water line to the fridge, and fixing a couple of leaky sinks.

Steve (I think he's the owner of Alfred Williams Plumbing) came out right on time and fixed everything even faster than he predicted he would when he quoted the job. He did a great job and I would definitely use him again.

I too was refered by Nelson plumbing to call Williams. Steve was super nice, made an appointment with me, was on time. No mess, no fuss. The price was very reasonable and he was done in an hour. My toilet was continually running, even with the valve shut off. He replaced the valve and fixed the toilet in less than an hour. I was worried it would be extremely expensive and messy. No problems here! Would recommend to anyone!

Called Alfred Williams after reading the reviews on yelp. Called them sunday night after I noticed water leaking in my garage onto my car. Our house has old galvanized pipes and we needed to get repiping done but have been pushing it back.

I called their number and was greeted by a lady who asked for my info and what the problem was. She then told me to wait for a call. A few minutes later someone called and we scheduled for next morning at 10.

Steve was on time and after cutting through the wet section of our drywall was able to find the pinhole leak in our pipe. He suggested a repipe, something we already knew we needed, and said he could refer us to another company. That was fine. He then suggested that we could put a clamp on the leak as a temp fix to get us up and running until we could do the repipe. I said ok since a repipe wasnt going to happen that day. He then said that he did not have a clamp with him but had to go out to his supplier to find one. I suggested Lowes which was a few blocks from where we live. He said he'd rather go to his supplier just to make sure that he finds what he's looking for in one place. I said ok. After about 30 minutes he came back and started putting the clamp on. He had previously pulled out some insulation and said if I had a bag that I could start putting it away. I was a bit offended. He repeated his comment. So I got a bag and started putting the insulation away thinking this was the first time someone has asked me to clean up for them. Once the clamp was on Steve asked me to check for leaks. I said it looks ok. Then I asked how much is was going to cost, remembering that he never gave me a chance to get a quote. He said he'll figure it out in
a moment. He then proceeded to his van to write up the bill as well as answer another job call, all the while watching me clean up after his mess. He came back
from the van and gave me a bill for $104.69!! 97 bucks for labor and 7 bucks for a clamp. I was outraged but didnt say anything. It didnt seem like a fair price to me. I've had sections of pipe replaced that took a few hours that was more reasonably priced than a 5 minute clamp
install. He basically charged me for the trip to the store for the clamp that he didnt have. I paid the bill, but will definitely never call them again no matter what problem I have.
