Affordable Plumbing Solutions

I can't say enough good things about the service and response time. My son had called and described the problem to Richard (a plugged toilet) and Richard said he could come the next evening, and that it would be a flat $125 if he could snake it clear (which we'd already tried several times) or $250 if he had to disassemble and reassemble the toilet. He was good to his word, even arriving a little early, and explained everything as he was doing it. He did end up having to remove the toilet to dislodge the clog ( a flashlight had been dropped into the toilet!), but he was true to his quote of $250 and was happy to take my check (a lot of others required cash). He also cleaned up after himself and gave me some good advice about maintaining the toilet in good condition. You couldn't do better than to call Affordable Plumbing Solutions!

Richard was very close to perfection. He was my second quote for the copper repipe, he was the most affordable and he was very fast with his work. He gave me the quote of $6,500 and he even upgraded me to a 50 gal tank for free when he found out I was a military Veteran and willing to write a review on Yelp. It took about 2 weeks from the quote date until he started because he was on other projects, but he was upfront and precise with his timeline.

A bit overenthusiastic, he stayed until 9pm the first day of work and then he was done by 4pm the second day! He had one partner the first day and finished the job the second day by himself. He wasn't the most professional of my selection pool but he was the most charismatic and approachable. Richard and his Apprentice were extremely hard working the first day and I couldn't imagine Richard returning that early the next day, but he was there at 6:45 am just like the day prior.

He does not file permits for his work but I did not desire that additional hassle and cost. Richard also confirmed my suspicion of a drain issue under one of my bathrooms. He was so good with his work we decided to accept his $1,400 bid on a main drain line replace without seeking alternative bids.

I fully recommend Richard for his friendliness, fairness, and affordability.

Richard, gave updates to when he was coming, arrived on time, explained the work to be done, brought the right part, a new hot water pump, and installed it on time and for the set price agreed to. He is goode

Very reasonable prices, excellent attitude, trustworthy.

Richard came out to do a bunch of minor jobs in our house. He was very professional and honest. His work quality was good and I would definitely hire him again.

Four years ago, Affordable Plumbing Solutions recommended an A. O. Smith 50 gallon water heater. The unit came with a six-year warranty and he recommended to buy a four-year warranty extension for a total of 10-year warranty. The unit failed today. It had lasted 4 years and 5 months. It leaked water into my garage and stopped heating water. Instead of helping me, Affordable Plumbing Solution passed me on to another outfit, who he said would call me shortly. They didn't call me. I asked for their phone number and found out that the second outfit had passed my case on to a third outfit located in Vallejo. I live in South San Jose. The third outfit didn't even have my contact information. They told me that they would have to call the factory and get an authorization to replace the unit (once they looked at it). Oh, by the way, I would have to pay for the labor and for an upgrade to a different unit, since the unit Affordable Plumbing Solutions had sold me was no longer permitted in the State of California. Now, at the end of the day, I am still waiting for the third outfit to show up. And I don't have any hot water. I'd never use Affordable Plumbing Solutions again.

Richard helped me fixing a bathroom leak. Very professional, on time and set clear expectations before he started work. Did a fine job to fix the leak. he is very knowledgeable and carries a good amount for plumbing supplies in his truck.

I have called Richard two times now and he is extremely sincere and honest. When I called him this Sunday about a problem under the kitchen sink, he promised to come at 7pm after his busy day on Monday. He did arrive right on time and took care of the issue. Very dependable and a true professional who cares for his customers. I recommend him highly.

This gentleman came to my house today(on behalf of my landlord) I was cleaning my shower and the water turn on handle came off in my hand... He fixed our issue and was out in about ten minutes. Thank APS

Richard was amazing. He came out and assessed the bathroom odor. Said that it was not sewage, but a dead animal probably in the wall. He did not charge me to come out. I then hired somebody (who did charge a $75 ""assessment"" fee) and he took care of the job. A couple of weeks after Richard came to my home, he called me. He said that he had been ""wondering what happened"". What kind of workers do that? Especially someone who didn't even get a paid job. The only reason I am not giving him 5 stars is because although I know he provides excellent customer service, I really have not had him do any work, but with the quality of his customer service, I'm pretty sure his work is pretty good. I would definitely hire him in the future. Thank you Richard!
