Al Coronado Plumbing

Marty was personable and professional. He diagnosed the problem with my garbage disposal and fixed it quickly. I will call again when plumbing service is needed.

I was happy with the service I got from Julian when he came out to unclog my drain. He was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He even wore booties over his shoes to keep my floor clean. I think Al Coronado's prices are too high but I was able to get a discount which brought them down to a more reasonable amount.

Kitchen sink plugged up on Saturday night and couldn't unplug it myself after fooling with a handmade wire-rooter+power drill, so I called a bunch of plumbers Sunday morning and Al Coronado was the only one that picked up. They had a guy over by 9am. Price to power-rooter 60' of kitchen was ~$250'ish. I have no idea if the price range for plumbing, so can't comment much, it seems expensive but then Bobby S. was prompt, polite, and professional and THERE. No one else responded and it was a weekend, so I'm OK with paying a premium for responsive service when the dishes are piling up and I tired of being elbow deep in drain-gunk.

He did an excellent job, provided good advice, and was incredibly responsive, which in my mind, is exactly what I want when a sink/toilet/etc is overflowing.

I am posting a 5 star review for the quality of workmanship and the folks I interfaced with face to face. Workmanship, explanations and cleanliness were great.

I am posting 1 star for price and management response. I, niavely, accepted a $1495 charge for a toilet. That's not with installation. The installation was another $1500. After install and not appreciating that this toilet seemed to be worth much more than any other, I found this toilet to be priced between $600 and $700 anywhere else. Over 100% markup is unexpected in my world. I was ready to accept this as a learning experience and leave it that I just would not use them again. The Person at my home was concerned that I was not happy so I was placed on the phone with a management person. It became clear that this person wanted to talk about everything but the price when my only issue was the price. This person was simply someone who was practiced in diversion and the wearing down of anyone with a complaint. I was already convinced not to use Al Coronado plumbing due to pricing but I was not adamantly disapproving. After my conversation I now am adamantly sure I will never use nor recommend Al Coronado plumbing again.

PS: I am from Tucson, not San Francisco.

I'll never call these people again. Friday night and there's water in my yard so I do some exploratory digging. Turns out the water main is leaking so I call these guys. Tech shows up about 30 minutes later and he's friendly and knowledgeable. He tells me that logically we need to diagnose the problem before we can figure out the solution and that makes sense. So he starts digging. The existing pipe is in a sleeve so it's hard to determine where the leak is so he digs a bit more. He can't find the end of the sleeve so he comes up with an estimate. Blue stake, have a crew dig 20' to the house, replace the line with copper, replace ALL of the valves (which are only 7 years old) including the irrigation box, fill trench, and replace yard rock. $4200.

So I get up early in the morning and finish digging another 4 feet and find the end of the sleeve. Now at this point all that needs to be done is replace a 6' section of 1"" PVC. The trench is open and I said I'd fill it myself. I'm a handy person. I mig weld and do electrical and other plumbing things. You know, head CTO at my house. I'd just like a professional to do the solvent weld on my main water line since it's mission critical. All he has to do is cut a section of pipe and glue both ends in the trench. Parts could not have been more than $10. Simple right? They wanted $1100. Yeah no. Not paying that. Deans plumbing did it for $125 and it took 20 mins. As he was leaving my neighbor walked over and needed Dean to quote a job so good for him.

Did a look up of their google reviews and not surprisingly all the 5 star reviews are by reviewers with only ONE review. The deceptive power of the internet should never replace being knowledgeable and common sense. I'm sure the reply to this will be full of platitudes and chest thumping about their 4.1 star ""web presence"", but I don't buy any of it including their pricing.

Al Coronado Plumbing has a quick response rate! My mom had an issue with their water heater, originally purchased through Al Coronado Plumbing, and after several attempts to fix I spoke with Andrew and the company decided to replace my mom's water heater. They are responsive, efficient and incredibly customer service oriented. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

My first call to Al was Thursday about 2:00pm. I was told that dispatch would call me right back. Saturday about 4:30PM I called them.... I was told at that time they would have a technician be here between 10:00AM and 2:00PM Sunday. Well now it's 4:00PM Sunday and I now see the light. AL Coronado Plumbing SUCKS!

Yesterday we discovered that we had clogged drains in the kitchen of our house. About 2 hours later, Julian arrived at our home and began working to get the clog cleared. He had a very professional and knowledgeable manner about him and wanted very much to solve the problem. He was careful to insure that he in no way dirtied our home. He used a snake to clear any clogs located, and quickly ascertained that the problem lay between our house and the main sewer line. Since we have a contract for service on outside lines, he picked up his equipment and thanked us for calling Al Coronado Plumbing. There was no charge for the service, although he was here for about 1-1/2 hours. Very good service.

Marty was professional, knowledgeable, and kept us informed every step of of the process. He made feel more like a friend coming by to fix your pluming than a contractor.
