Recommended Customer Reviews

Richard is great. He is honest, reliable, and knowledgeable. He will go out of his way to make sure you know everything you need to know about the problem at hand, and treats his customers as priority.
When plumbing issues arise, it can be stressful, as sometimes the issues are costly, but Richard puts you at ease, and ensures you know your options and the cost up front.
I highly recommend Richard. Timely, responsive, and knows how to get the job done the right way, the first time.

We just moved into our house, had a water pipe outside leaking and so rusty. Called Richard for an estimate, he requested a couple of photos, ID the issue, which was an iron gas cap placed on a copper water pipe causing electrolysis. He gave us a quote, was able to fit us in bases on our scheduled and fixed everything right away. He explained everything to us, came in a little under quote and then gave us a military discount. We highly recommend Richard Maldonado and Available Plumming. He will be our go to person. Just call him, he made everything so easy, was knowledgeable, fair and honest and a very nice neighborly man.

Wonderful work! Really nice guy! Very Professional service. I will definatly call again. Knowledgeable. Honest.
I needed a pressure gauge put in. He knew exactly what to do.
He helped me a lot after moving into a new place.

I can't say enough positive things about Richard's company, AVAILABLE PLUMBING.
I had an emergency yesterday as my hot water heater died and was gushing water. Of course I panicked as I have kids and a senior in the house and it was Friday.
I contacted Richard and not only did he know who I was, but assured me that I would be up and running that day!!
He put me at ease and acted like I was his only concern for the day. His happy personality is so comforting bar NONE!
True to his word, he installed a brand new water heater with all the new items that go with it, and earthquake braced it.
One thing about this trip was that he showed me how to turn off the water but keep the cold water so that we could at least have toilets and sink water while we waited. Then he hooked up the hot water while he worked so that hot water was available when he was finished. There was no waiting. Very considerate!
I have been a customer for years and I will not use anyone else. He's the whole package: knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly and affordable.

Richard came out and cleared a drain for us that wasn't draining, checked on a toilet that had some issues and previously inspected a leaking garbage disposal for us. All of the work was done professionally, with clear communication and straight forward and reasonable price quotes matching final cost of the job. Thanks for the excellent work Richard. I'll certainly call you next time I have a plumbing issue rather than trying to muddle through on my own!

We called Richard as a result of the recommendations here and we were glad we did! He was friendly, professional and on time and got right to work after getting a full description of our problem. What we thought was going to be a major expense from our tenants' description turned out to be no problem at all other than dated plumbing (60s era). He gave us a thorough explanation of what was happening and made sure we understood what we were seeing when he put a camera down the pipes. Definitely worth hiring!

Available Plumbing Services went out of their way to fit me in and stop by around dinner time to give an estimate for removing a rusted-on and leaking water hose in which another company- an appliance delivery service, were unable to connect my brand new washing machine. Richard was able to get the job done, explaining and showing me several plumbing/washing machine details, put the machine through a cycle to make sure it was running correctly and was very friendly and professional. This was my first time using Available Plumbing- I had called another local plumber first who did a good job in the past but he never returned my call.

Richard w Available Plumbing is an EXCELLENT plumber. He is an expert in his craft. He has installed new bathroom fixtures in our home, built all the plumbing needs from the ground up for a new studio, and does all our repair work on our triplex. Highly recommend!

We had a major plumbing problem at Main Street Vet that required a plumbing upgrade. Our hospital works out of a converted house on Main Street that was built in 1865. The house in in need of constant attention and repair. We love it and always try to treat it with love similar to how a sailor might keep his boat. I was so impressed with Richard. He did such a great job in addressing our problem and worked so hard to do it in a way that did not damage any of the rest of the house or the foundation. He is super friendly, professional, and a very hard worker. In my experience, this is rare to find in a plumber. If you need any plumbing service at your home or business, you will be very happy to work with Richard and Available Plumbing Services. He is a super guy, knows his stuff, and loves his work and helping people. It comes through in his work and attention to detail.

Super friendly guy and great honest work! I would recommend Richard to anyone who needs a plumber!
