Fragoso Plumbing & Rooter Service

They charged $175 for an inspection and then another $1200 for the work. Other companies will credit the inspection fee towards the work. Terrible communication.

I used this company as Lalo, the owner, was referred to me. He sent two guys over to my house to snake a line due to a toilet not draining. They ran approximately 10' of snake into my clean out and seemed to have cleared the obstruction. They were at my house about 15 Minutes and charged me $275. Two weeks later, I had the same blockage and only liquids were used in this toilet. I called Lalo hoping he would warranty his work. His crew resnaked the line in a similar way to mentioned above. I received another bill for $275. This is way overpriced for the work performed and original work was not warrantied. His second invoice stated that he recommended a hydro flush the first time, which is not true. In addition, his workers quoted a flush price on the second visit which was $100 less than Lalo stated. Very shady guy. Buyer beware of this owner and company.

Certainly the best estimate. Work was professional. only problem was properly invoicing the work done. It's important to get EVERYTHING on paper and listing warranty on invoice. Other than that, I found him to be very fair with pricing and would use him again and again!

Thanks Lalo Fragoso!

I'm satisfied with the resulting plumbing work, but not with how it came about. There was a lot of miscommunication between the plumbers -- who defer to the office or the boss for details about the work & pricing -- and mostly vague information to me about what was going on. It took several days to get a quote for the work to be done, when the plumber told me it would be a few hours.

Meanwhile, the carpeting is soaking wet & seeping throughout the room. To be fair, the appliances were about 25 years old and the bathroom fixtures older than that. So it was a tough 8-hours for the two guys doing the job. I appreciate their efforts but then after that 8-hour day, the washing machine still leaked! WHAT!?

I left an early morning message on a Friday and didn't hear back until the following Tuesday afternoon = WHAT! Again? The floor is still wet and thankfully my carpet cleaner guy (Brodine) answers his phone and came right over with big fans and a dehumidifier.

Everybody says ""Call Lalo"" (the boss) for any pricing or explanations. But he doesn't answer his phone and the voicemail is always full. The only time I actually talked to him was when they were first going to come & take a look at the site. I left another appointment early to their no-show. I had to call them twice to find out they were delayed on another job and would be at least another hour late. I know things happen, but how about a call to let me know?

A second plumber finally came to fix the leaking rusty drain pipe from the washer. Why didn't the first guy do that? The second pass was another 3-hours and no one gave me a price quote. ""Call Lalo"" he says... no answer, no voicemail. But a big second invoice came in the mail.

Everyone is quite nice but no one seems to know what's going on between all the people in the office and the plumbers. I cannot recommend Fragoso, especially for an emergency situation, because of the slow response time and inadequate communication before & during the job.

I do however recommend ""Brodine Steam Cleaning"" for carpet cleaning and ""Do It Right by Antonio"", who came through at the last minute for unexpected drywall repair after major movement of washer hose connections. Both of these guys answered my calls for help right away and communicated clearly throughout the work being done.

Lalo and the guys at Fragoso Plumbing are my go-to for any plumbing issues. Super responsive and accommodating with fair pricing. One example, I had a massive kitchen sink clog Thanksgiving night and Lalo was there the next day to fix it...even though it was a holiday weekend. I would highly recommend them!

We have used Fragoso Pluming for our own properties as well as my real estate brokerage clients and have been extremely impressed every single time. The service, knowledge and professionalism is outstanding. They are exceptionally responsive and can be available immediately if needed. Their team is equipped to handle any sized job from a small repair call, to a complicated finish plumbing installation to new construction. The owners of the company are very hands on and involved in all work that is preformed. I have learned to be very careful and cautious when referring subcontractors, however I would be extremely confident in referring Fragoso Plumbing.

Lalo and his crew were fantastic installing the new plumbing in our back unit. They also installed a tankless water heater! Looking forward to using it once the build is finished. Thanks guys!

We've used Lalo a couple of times at our place in Hermosa and he's been great. The quality of work is what we expected, and he has been good at communicating along the way.

I was very pleased with the service provided by Fragoso Plumbing. They have experts who are thoroughly helpful, patient and extraordinary problem solvers. Owners Lalo and Juan Fragoso are exceptional in their customer service. They saved me time and money by informing and guiding me through my plumbing issues. Really, one doesn't need to look further when you call Fragoso Plumbing. These guys are taking over the South Bay. Our company will definitely continue doing business with them.

Unfortunately my experience with this company was disappointing to say the least. The initial contact went well. I explained I had a garbage disposal that wasn't working and arranged for Lalo (as another reviewer stated I'm not sure of the correct spelling) to come out. He did so promptly and tried to unblock the disposal without success because the problem had gone on for too long. He said I would need a new one which I agreed to and he promised to return the next day around the same time of 7:30am. The following day came and went and he never showed nor did I get a call explaining why. I left a message saying since he had not bothered to call or show up, I would find another plumber. I found Moreno Plumbing also here on Yelp and I couldn't have been happier with their expertise, customer service and professionalism.
