Cobabe Brothers Plumbing

I called Cobabe to clear debris from my water line but they insisted they could only flush the line if I allowed them to replace the water heater which was the source of the debris. After I approved the service they did replace the water heater but if stopped working within a week. They returned and reported debris was clogging the system, so they then flushed the line and cleared the error code in the water heater. The water heater stopped working again but when Cobabe came back, this time they reported there was a lack of ventilation and insisted they needed to cut another hole into my ceiling for ventilation. I felt suspicious, so I decided to get a second opinion. I called Bonney plumbing who told me an aftermarket conductor was spliced into the water heater I thought was new and that was causing the error code. That also voided any warranty on the water heater so I was stuck with a reconditioned used water heater that did not work. I reported the incident to California State Licensing Board. They conducted an investigation but the owner, Mathew refused to cooperate

Katie and Francisco were wonderful. We have nothing but positive praise for both. Katie was extremely responsive and kept me in the loop on everything when scheduling my appointment. She was a joy to speak with. Francisco came by only a few hours after asking them for help giving a leak in my toilet, and he was so kind to my boyfriend and explained exactly what the problem was. He fixed our issue and was on his way in just a few short hours. Would definitely hire him again, we really appreciated all the advice he gave us.
A+++++!!!! Thank you!!!!

Cobabe Brothers is the worst contractor company I've ever worked with. I called them to see what was wrong with my water heater pressure and they sent Francisco. With them knowing I had a previous water leak he didn't not want to check the water heater and insisted it was the old galvanize pipes and that I replace them. The charged me $6,900 just to replace the hot and cold water pipes. Finishing work like drywall, paint, removal of old pipes and replacement of bathroom fixture were not included. After the pipes were replaced the water heater pressure was still low and there was also a leak from the water that was not there previously. When I called them about the issue both Francisco and Matt (the manager) accused me of sabotaging the water heater and would not check or fix the issue. What they did was offered me a quote to replace the old water heater. I wasn't going to get hooked into their scheme of making money so I called another contractor to install a new water heater. After all was said and done it was the temperature relief valve that need to be replaced. The part only cost $19 at home depot. All of this happened over a 2 month period when the job should've only taken 2 day at most and they also demanded I pay them before building inspection. During inspection they didn't hang the new pipes or insulate them properly and the inspector to give them a notice of corrections. For a company that has been around for this long I would expect more from them.

What I learned from this experience is DO NOT HIRE COBABE BOTHERS. They do shottie work and will sabotage your home in order to suck more money out of you!

Had a toilet leak and couldn't shut the main water valve, kept leaking. I called a bunch of plumbers, nobody could do anything today. Cobabe sent over a guy in under1 hour wearing PPE. He checked it out and gave me an estimate and said he'd return in a few hours. In that time I was able to close the main water valve and replace the toilet valve that was leaking.

I called to let them know, no charge for sending the plumber out. Plumber called me again 20 minutes later to make sure I was good!

AAA+++ on responsiveness and professionalism!!!

Do your research...get it inspected by a third person before they cover it with dirt!!! You get what you pay for! I had my main sewer line in the front yard replaced. I didn't get an option of having pea gravel or sand underneath the piping. The only way I knew they didn't put pea gravel or sand was I heard them talking. I was so stressed I just pray to God that the ground was solid and they connected the joints securely. I REGRET not having it inspected. When it was finished I tested my sprinklers and they weren't working. I wasn't going to pay anything I told them. So they're going to fix them tomorrow hopefully. This is been so stressful please listen to me go for a larger company that knows what they're doing and gets the job done correctly.

Brenton was our associate and he did a great job. He was knowledgeable, on time and even made several additional trips (with no extra costs to us) to get items to get the job done right when things popped up. He came and gave us a quote on a Friday and started the job right then. He also had to come back on Monday to take care of a few things. Great customer service and price.

The toilet started leaking with a pretty steady dripping which continued even after the valve was shut off. I contacted Home Advisor on their website and was quickly matched with Cobabe Plumbing. In a matter of minutes their office called me and arranged for a visit with free estimate included. They arrived within window quoted and in a short while had my toilet back in good condition without having to make a second appointment or sell anything additional! The customer service all the way around was excellent as was the pricing. Thanks again to Home Advisor and Cobabe Plumbing!

Terrible service. They tried to rip me off and sent me a price $330 more than the next plumber I called that came and fixed all my issues. I have used them 2 times and they always made me feel uncomfortable and are completely rude. Wish I could do 0 stars.
