Company Overview

Since 1979, Gene Phillips Plumbing is a one-man operation where I take care of everything myself! As a locally-owned ""little guy"" in Palm Desert, California, I usually deliver same-day service. Having over 35 years in the field, I excel in troubleshooting, leak repairs, and the servicing or replacement of water heaters, toilets, disposals, faucets, water lines, and piping. I understand that plumbing problems can be a hassle and inconvenient. Rest assured, A Gene Phillips Plumbing will resolve your plumbing challenges quickly and effectively, with me handling all the work myself. Along with my industry expertise and reliability, I am dedicated to providing fair and transparent pricing for every job. I am proud to provide high-quality workmanship, treating every project as if it were my own home, and you are my friendly neighbor, with exceptional and reliable service. My direct experience and true concern for resolving the issue, rather than just earning money, differentiate my service from the rest. My dad launched this business in 1950, and his four sons have upheld the tradition, with my brothers moving to different parts of the country. I remained with my father, working alongside him until his passing in 2015, and I have continued his work and philosophy - to complete the work as you would expect it done for yourself... and... to treat clients honestly and as friends in need. I crawled under houses with my dad, Clyde Phillips - a southern farm boy, when I was just 10, bringing him melted lead in a ladle to pour and hammer into sockets to connect cast iron sewer pipes. My dad learned from my grandfather, who invented his own tools and techniques on the farm back in Georgia. I spent my childhood with my three brothers, assisting my dad on Saturdays while our friends enjoyed the park! We learned because it was necessary. Yet, as we got older, we were proud to work alongside him and make him proud. I obtained my contractor's license in 1979 and launched the business ""down valley"" in Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage. We worked together until he was 77! My dad passed away at 87, just last year. His favorite saying was always, ""It's A Wonderful Life!""

We needed to replace our water heater which was a 15 year old Bradford White 75 gallon unit. We called several companies and the prices were all comparable. But when we called,we spoke directly with Gene who was by far he most knowledgeable and comprehensive in his information. All his questions were relevant and he gave us a competitive price in advance he showed up on time and the job was done quickly and professionally. It required more material to properly place the water heater and replace the circulating pump but he only charged us the price he quoted. He left our garage cleaner than he found it! There was an immediate significant improvement in our hot water system. Friendly, professional service from a Master certified plumber. I will never call anyone else.

Amazing! We had a water leak and Gene immediately fit us into his schedule the same day. He quickly discovered ALL of the THREE places where water was leaking. He went on and beyond what I think any other company would do to solve our problems. And...Gene is a really, really nice person. We are so happy we called him!!!

After calling two well known plumbers that I've used before and explaining to them that I botched what I thought was a simple copper line repair and that my entire house was without water , the response I got from both was we're booked for two days! That's when I called Gene Phillips Plumbing, he too was booked! However he must have heard the desperation in my voice and told me he would somehow find a way to get to me that day! He showed up earlier than expected and fixed the problem and got my water back on. I definitely found myself a new plumber! He's the best!

Here is what you want in a plumber: he comes on time; he has the right tools; he has the right parts on his truck; he works carefully; he checks his repairs to make sure they are all correct; his bill is fair. All of those things and more are Gene Philips, master of pluming.

Gene's father was a plumber. It is in his DNA. He has been coming to our home for 14 years. Every visit is perfect. He always has the parts with him. His bills are fair. And he is a very nice person too.

Today he rebuilt two of our four Koehler toilets, replacing the 15 year old parts. He also fixed a leak under a bathroom sink (the trap, that goose neck part, had a small crack. Oh, by the way, he was supposed to come in the afternoon, but he called and said he was free at 10:30 and by noon he was done and my afternoon was freed up.

What more could you want in a plumber? He works alone and does it all himself. He does not leave it to under-trained people. You get a master journeyman plumber.

Gene Philips Plumbing saved us! We had weekend renters in our home and the showers just stopped working. It was 4:45pm on a Friday and instead of saying, ""I'll see you Monday"" Gene Philips Plumbing was at our home in 30 minutes and fixed the issue fast and efficiently. I highly recommend Gene Philips Plumbing and we'll be using this company for any future plumbing issues!
