Company Overview

With 20 years under my belt, I personally arrive at your property to provide top-notch plumbing solutions. Utilizing my eBike for transportation allows me to serve the community efficiently, keeping my expenses low and sharing those savings with my valued customers. I prioritize your satisfaction and am dedicated to providing reliable, high-quality plumbing services tailored to your requirements!

I aim to deliver exceptional service, plain and simple. While many can install pipes or repair leaks, true craftsmanship is what distinguishes my work. I ensure everything is clean, level, and up to code, and I always clean up after myself. This is what you can expect from me.

I view my work as an art form. I strive for my plumbing work to be not just effective but also aesthetically pleasing, much like art. I often sign and date my work, just as an artist would. By keeping my costs low and passing the savings to my clients, I provide fine service, which is a formula for success.

My mission is to serve my community by providing top-notch plumbing services. My motto is, ""Committed to providing quality and affordable plumbing services to my community."" Since 2009, I have been growing Alfresco Plumbing, one client at a time, cherishing every part of the journey.

My entry into plumbing started with my mother giving me the house I was raised in. The plumber at that time couldn't go under the crawl space because he was too big. I inquired, ""How hard is it to sweat copper?"" Al taught me right there how to sweat and install copper pipes. I remember him telling me, ""This is your first attempt; expect leaks."" We pressurized the lines, and to our surprise, there were no leaks! Al turned to me and remarked, ""You have a gift; you can achieve great things in plumbing."" Two decades later, I have evolved from laborer to drain cleaner, to serviceman, to journeyman, and now, I proudly own my plumbing company. One of my greatest joys recently was seeing a home advertised as an ""Alfresco Plumbed Home.""

Jose is great. I called him before to install a new dishwasher. I had work done in the kitchen and my contractor said it was ready for it to be installed. He said the wiring wasn't right, and to let him know when it was corrected. Even though he lost work coming to my house, he did not charge. Well, I had the work corrected and now I have a new dishwasher. Now I need to buy a new garbage disposal, he's sending me to ""his"" place to purchase it with his discount. Can't get any better than Jose!

Jose saved the day! I was away on vacation when my housesitter notified me that the drains were backed up and the kitchen had flooded. I called Jose and he showed up the same day, after a long day on another assignment. He snaked and crawled under the house, inspecting everything. And he did all this while being reassuring and comforting me on the phone while I was across the country. I am grateful for Jose's skill, integrity and heart. He has earned my loyalty.

I had water dripping into my basement area. Joseph was a pleasure to deal with and a really nice guy! It turned out not to need plumbing fixes as it was a leaky fridge, so read this review in that context. But I would call him again if I had plumbing needs.

We've had Jose work on our plumbing for the past 10 years and he's as good as it gets! Skilled, communicative, speedy and reasonable. He's fixed all kinds of things in our house, from a leaking pipe to a toilet replace. Can't recommend him highly enough!

Great find in the hood.

Joseph Alfresco just did a great job installing a line to my fridge. It was under the smallest crawl space in my 1940s home. Something I DID. NOT. WANT. TO. DO. MYSELF!

He showed up on time and worked smart and efficiently. As you know, with any construction, you never really know how much it is going to cost until you start opening up the floor, walls, etc.

He had a plan, clearly communicated it to me and then executed it. Luckily for me ($$ wise), there were no hidden problems under the floor or in the crawl space. So it was pretty straightforward.

I'm thinking of redoing the original bathroom in my house and moving the tub - I'll be using him. He clearly knows construction and has a creative side of figuring out the best possible way to install stuff. I know there is dry rot, there has to be, it's the original bathroom and there are cracked tiles etc. I trust once the demo happens, he will work with the carpenters to replumb for my new layout.

Very professional, knows his stuff.

I needed a problem solver and Joseph was the perfect person for the job. I needed him to reroute cold water to a valve that was dead. It was going to require drilling through the wall and I needed him to be as surgical and clean as possible. Not only did he provide me I'm a very fair price for the job, his finish work was superb. I had a big company look at the job and not only were they going to charge me an arm and a leg but they were probably going to do a hack job. You worked very well with our schedule and got the job done in excellent time. I don't always write reviews but when I do it's because I truly believe that person deserves high recommendations.

He came by on a Sunday because I thought I could replace my kitchen faucet myself...I was wrong and Joseph was an angel. He let me watch as he worked and taught me patience and persistence were the key.

I figured no one would want to work in a Sunday but he showed up with a smile and a great attitude. He gave me a great price and a thirty day warranty on the work he did.

I can't say enough nice stuff about about Joseph. He also has a dog named Valkyrie that's pretty cool and dog people are my people.

Once again! Jose to the rescue. Jose took our leaky sink faucet to completion with good cheer and hard work. What started as a simple switch of old to a new faucet became the nightmare rusted out, impossible to remove situation.
Jose hung in and had to burr it out with his tools. I feel so fortunate to have him to call on for my plumbing. Because you never know when a project that looks like it will be a slam dunk can become ""a project"" You will need a man of Jose's talents and experience. THANK YOU JOSE!
