This business was founded by my father John 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 focused on serving the South Bay. We have been a family-owned and operated company since 1974, my father John started the company in '74 and I started working with him while in high school in 1996. I worked side by side with him until I earned my plumbing contractor's license in 2008. After he retired, I dedicated myself to developing a high-quality, five-star business. Our main priorities are quality, workmanship, and customer service.

Recommended Customer Reviews

They are reasonably priced, on time, provide high quality work and provide great customer service.
i had what i thought was a backed up kitchen sink. they arrived on time and inspected the sink to find that there was no issue other than perhaps a temporary blockage caused by something i had attempted to flush down earlier. they triple inspected to ensure there was no problem and did not charge me a penny for it.
while on site they also provided some help with a leaking toilet line. they replaced the old valve and stem quickly and at a very reasonable price. they were clean and left behind no traces they were even there. all this within less than an hour or so.
i would use them again without a moments notice. i would highly recommend them to anyone who may ( unfortunately ) need a plumbing service.

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
