My father John established this business in 1974 and has built it into the company it is today. I worked alongside him for over 10 years before he retired 7 years back. Since then, I have dedicated myself to serving the South Bay. As a family-owned and operated business since 1974, the company was started by my father John in '74 and I began working with him during high school in 1996. I worked side by side with him until I earned my plumbing contractor's license in 2008. Following his retirement, I have concentrated on creating a top-notch, five-star company. We prioritize quality, workmanship, and customer service above all.

WOW!!! These folks are really good!!! When a plumbing problem arose, this family-owned business (Mike, Patrick, and Andrew) bent over backwards to help me. It's as if their family extended to mine. When I think of plumbing, I think of Hillside..friendly, accommodating, professional, knowledgeable, and excellent. I would recommend Hillside without hesitation

Concrete slab leak. Called 3 plumbers to get estimates. Yelp led me to Hillside who came to assess the problem. Gilbert was the only one who explained the process of first finding the leak. I was sold on his experience and confidence to fix the leak. He gave me different scenarios depending on where he'd find the leak and assured me that he would try to keep the destruction of walls to a minimum. I received an esitmate when promised and Gilbert and Patrick finished the job in a day. Damage was minimal, mess was cleaned, and my bill was just what they said it would be.

I have Sloan FlushMates in our toilets and one started to leak. I called late one afternoon last week and they came by in a couple of hours. They identified the problem and another issue I had not seen (not trying to up-sell, it was legit). Fixed the second issue and had to come back with the part for the FlushMate issue. Didn't charge me anything up front and told me they would roll it all together at the end. Not many would do that. The job was just finished and it was done on time and within estimated budget. Can't ask for more than that. Highly recommended.

I had multiple issues that just hadn't been bad enough to bother calling a plumber about. Decided to update the fausets in the master bath and thought why not take care of everything in one shot? I called Hillside Plumbing and gave them the list. Replace fausets, slow drain at the sink, slow drain at the shower and our yearly drain clearing in the kitchen and laundry room. Not a problem they said. Also got a great quote. Couldn't be happier. I have them in my contacts list to give out to my friends.

I had a simple job (replace the shut off valve to the dishwasher under the kitchen sink). We scheduled the job for a few days later (it wasn't an emergency) and they gave me a heads up that they were running late. Came in and did the job, pointed out a couple of things to watch out for (but didn't try to sell additional work) and kept me informed throughout the process (""here's what we're doing""). Patrick and his assistant were super knowledgeable and checked their work 3 times to ensure I had no leaks. Totally worry-free. I'm calling them again for all my plumbing needs.

Problem: Kitchen Sink backed up.
Tried troubleshooting myself but know when I'm out of my league. Saw these guys on Yelp and their good reviews.
Called and was told by Mike that it would cost $100 if there was an external trap (which there was) and his guy would be there in around an hour.
Ty shows up in under an hour. Spends about 90 minutes and fixes the problem - had to go 60 ft with his industrial snake (I know I couldn't have done this myself).
Polite guy, professional and took the time to make sure we weren't leaking from under the sink. And, surprise, surprise, the bill was $100 exactly as quoted.
I now have my plumber that I will use. Don't waste time - look at their reviews and rest assured you're getting a reasonably priced professional 5 star plumber.
VERY HAPPY.

These guys are great. Patrick and Mike are stand up good guys that know what they are talking about. Dealing with them for four hours made me remember that there are good people still out there. Thanks guys. Hopefully I won't have to see you soon but when I have a plumbing problem you'll be the first ones we call.

Not sure why these guys are getting such good reviews, maybe they just treated us bad for some reason. My landlady called them to fix a leak in my kitchen. They came and opened 2 holes about 8"" square each in my wall and did an inspection. They did a temporary patch on the leak, but advised we replace the whole pipe system. But they never gave a quote as promised. Leak returned so we called them back, this time I spoke with Mike personally. He and his assistant didn't seem to have much urgency about fixing it. I had to keep asking them about the scope of work, what the next steps were, and they were very vague and noncommittal. They said they'd go over everything with my landlady that day and give a quote, but again that never happened. That was over two weeks ago and we've never heard back, not a follow up call, not a quote, nothing. Now I'm stuck with holes still in my wall and we have to start all over with someone else. Guess these guys think they have so much business they can afford to blow us off. Very disappointed.

Great guys to deal with . Mike is one of the most reliable and honest guys you can deal with. Called mike and about an hour later my mainline was cleared. Thanks hillside

I have just had the best experience! My husband and I bought a house a year ago, and with it, immediately learned how expensive these old South Bay houses can be! Our plumbing has been a major issue.
After many nights of strange gurgling and popping coming from our bathrooms, I called Hillside. I explained that a previous plumber had told me we had issues because our toilets needed to be replaced.
These guys are so genuinely nice. I explained that I own a Jetta and could not fit a toilet in it to replace our other one. Patrick met me at Home Depot to lift and move the new toilet. When we got to the house, he looked at our toilet, lifted the lid, and told me that, if I wanted, he'd just fix the broken part instead of replacing our toilet. He saved me hundreds of dollars (but not the guilt of having dragged him to Home Depot).
Then, he proceeded to deal with the gurgling noise. Basically, he spent five hours snaking our pipes to get out the congestion over 150 feet from his entry point. A tree's roots were obstructing our pipes. It was after 8 p.m. when he left!
Throughout the whole service, he was so sweet and answered all my questions. He showed me everything he was doing, trying to teach me a little, although, honesty, I think I'd rather just call him back if a problem comes up.
