Blue Collar Plumbing and Rooter

Lusine A.

This review is well past due. I am happy found Michael and his team due to being abundant by our plumber who got too busy with new constructions/larger projects. I had worked with many contractors last 7 years through 2 additions, remodel and construction of ADU. The honesty, integrity, knowledge, quality of work of Michael is just far outstanding: I consider found a treasure: high quality, reliable, professionalism makes such a great value. In addition, I love the fact that is family owned small business.

I will gave you an example his honesty. First time call, he could just do the job of what I was asking, instead he explained me why he would not recommend me to do what I was planning to do, because it would be expensive (labor) and wouldn't get me much of good. He gave me better solution that was less money for his work.

Another example, under my brand new ADU there are many contractors worked, but no one bothered to see that laundry gas dryer vent is just smashed and laying there emitting carbon monoxide right under new building where we are about to move in... he saved us breathing that toxic odorless gas without even knowing it. I don't know what would be overtime the impact on health of breathing toxic gas. I actually believe he saved our lives from big troubles...ps. We have been wondering why dryer takes so long / several cycle to dry the laundry and have been asking other contractors.

I recommend him and his team with great confidence.

I was told by the gas company who was out earlier to reactivate my earthquake shut off valve that my water heater was not vented properly and they shut it off. I was concerned about Carbon Monoxide leaking out and needed hot water to survive and continue smelling nice, but my usual plumber was ""busy on a big job"" and couldn't make it out in time, so I looked through yelp reviews and was impressed by Blue Collar Plumbing's ratings and sent a message that was returned in no time. They came out later that evening and immediately pointed out how my water heater wasn't installed properly and the pipes weren't even connected!!! (Another strike for my usual plumber!) Michael quoted me a fair price and started the work right away. Super nice, polite, professional and reasonable. He updated me via text when they were on their way, which I appreciated since I managed to get a quick errand in. It takes a lot to impress me, but these guys know their stuff and were so on it that I plan to jump ship and abandon my usual plumber for their expertise. I'll be calling them back to tackle two other leaks I have as soon as the holiday season craze settles down.

I had a leaky water heater, and requested quotes here on Yelp. Blue Collar responde within 10 minutes and scheduled a visit for that afternoon! They clearly explained my options and costs. If I asked any questions, they answered directly and without talking down to me. They will now be my regular plumbers.

Michael, the man behind Blue Collar Plumbing is a technical expert and a seasoned pro who thankfully also happens to be a genuine, relatable people-person. He clearly explains, in plain English, the nature and extent of the problem, options for solving it, and the relative merits of each. He's EXACTLY the type of guy that we hoped we could find --and afford-- to come to the rescue ASAP after we discovered (and The Gas Company confirmed) that gas was leaking from pipes somewhere under the house.

He's honest and friendly, informative, responsive, resourceful, respectful, accessible, and he and his team accomplished exactly what they said they would within the timeframe and for exactly the amount that they formally quoted us on the day that they came out to thoroughly diagnose the problem. There are no outrageous diagnostic or surprise add-on fees. He stands by his work and prides himself on a job honestly and well done.

I couldn't be happier with the experience or more satisfied with the solution. Thanks, Michael and team!

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! There was a leak in my unit from the condo above me. I sent out my job through yelp to about 10 plumbers in the area. First Ron stopped by and looked around. However, since it was a traveling leak, it was possible that we'd have to remove ceiling bits to deduce the source. A plumber from another company also called me about the job but refused to even take the job because it sounded so complex. Mike (lead) then came by and spent a few hours checking every water source from the unit above. I asked him for the bill after the first visit, but he said to hold off since he wanted to check the building's water pressure first. He came on a Saturday morning and installed the gauge when I wasn't home. Over the next few days I was in contact with Mike through text messages. He was extremely patient with my questions. And only after thoroughly getting a glimpse of the water damage did he let himself write his report. His charge was exactly as he quoted before the job started (no excess fees). Yay! An honest and excellent plumber! And I asked him why he doesn't have more reviews on yelp... he said he wants his reviews to be honest, so he doesn't pester his customers to post. Well, I said I'd write a review Mike, here it is! Thank you :) - Christina

Great service. Michael fixed my toilet clog efficiently and at a fair price. They came in exactly the window they advertised at (came at 12 pm on an 11-1 pm window), and he was in and out quickly. I'll definitely be using Blue Collar again.

Michael responded within ten minutes of my quote request through Yelp. He arrived within an hour after my request. He was very professional and took care of the leak we had in the valve to our washing machine. I highly recommend. Prompt and professional. Thanks so much. Will use again in the future.

Michael & his team are amazing! They can handle any plumbing job.

I have ongoing issues w/ my plumbing in the bathroom and kitchen, bc of my horrible landlord that does crap work. My running toilet, ghost flushing, constant drips and leaky kitchen faucet was about to make me confess to crimes I didn't commit!!! Anything to stop the torture!

I needed to find a professional to do the job right. Blue Collar Plumbing and 4 other competitors in the area popped up on Yelp. I messaged all of them thru Yelp, but was impressed w/ Michael from Blue Collar. He was friendly, professional and scheduled me right away.

So happy w/ his work. He fixed my bathroom issues, my kitchen faucet and more. There were unforeseen water problems behind the kitchen faucet repair (faulty installation, leakage, water damage, corrosion). He went above and beyond the service, and saved me hundreds of dollars on water damage -- fixing/repairing more than what was expected. And he didn't charge me extra. I got an affordable rate. Wow, super impressed! Michael truly wants to help ppl.

Him & his team work on everything- Plumbing, water, gas, repairs/replacements, kitchen, bathroom, laundry, drains... everything. Call him. I guarantee, you will not be disappointed.

Great customer service and a great deal, makes me a happy customer. I am happy to help and support self-owned businesses.

Michael is respectable, knowledgeable and a professional businessman. He is now my Handy Man for all my plumbing needs.

Thank you Michael & Team
-Super Happy Tina

Hands down, Michael is the most honest Plumber I've ever worked with. His prices are very affordable and he is extremely experienced. He's will to give you a quote over the phone, unlike many others, who charge you to do this.

Michael is definitely the best plumber we have ever had! He was very knowledgeable about all pipes and fixed the leak we had that was leaking for months very quickly. We will definitely be calling him in the future for all our plumbing needs!!!
