My father John established this business in 1974 and has built it into the company it is today. I spent over a decade working with him until his retirement 7 years ago. I have been committed to serving the South Bay ever since. We have been a family-owned and operated company since 1974, my father John founded the company in '74 and I began working with him during high school in 1996. I collaborated with him until I received my plumbing contractor's license in 2008. After his retirement, I have focused on building a high-quality, five-star company. Our main priorities are quality, workmanship, and customer service.

Recommended Customer Reviews

This company has some great handymen and plumbers. I love mine and he always goes above and beyond. Pretty awesome!! Big thumbs up!! :)

Replacing a downdraft for stove and gas pipe to stove was in the way. Hillside was only plumber that could come same day. Mike came out and took care of problem and move the pipe. Service was very professional, knowledgeable , fair priced and most important my downdraft fit. Hillside will be my new ""go to"".

Main takeaway from this experience: Be careful! Ask for an estimate first even if referred by someone you trust.
I called Hillside because our townhouse neighborhood uses their services sometimes. When the guy showed up, I asked him if he has done a similar job (my house is leaking) before in our neighborhood. He said ""yes,"" and when I asked for an estimate, he said ""no."" I trusted them because Hillside was referred by our neighborhood association, so I agreed to let them do the job even without an estimate.
However, the cost ended up being a big surprise. The job costed $650 - it was performed by one person in two hours, who fixed one leak without using any big machines/special tools. If the materials cost $50 (which is a significant overestimate), then the hourly rate would have been $300/hour.
Some may argue that the job should not be counted by the hour and should be itemized, but on a high level, this one leak that was fixed by one person cost $300/hour.
Again, if you don't like big surprises, ask for an estimate first even if Hillside was referred by someone you trust.

5 STAR!!!!!
Between myself and my family we have utilized the services of Mike and Andrew on several occasions. Always good with communications and excellent service and results.
Bottom line, superior service at a very fair price, if you like the sound of that, you will want to call them for your plumbing needs. As always, thanks guys, you are the best. Unfortunately, I'm sure I'll see you again. LOL.

The BEST!
We've had Hillside do some major plumbing jobs on our apartment units twice in the past few years.Today we just needed a toilet replaced and a small turn off valve behind the toilet replace as well.
Hillside sent Patrick out to do the job.
1. He was on time (4pm)
2. He was in clean attire
3. He was happy and polite
4.Extremely professional and very detail oriented.
The best part for me was his attitude! Like I said he was happy to be here working. When I had questions and or concerns they we're always answered with a genuine response of "" No Problem"" Sure, Ill check it out. It was a pleasure to work with him
Thank you HIllside!!! Job well done!!!

These guys are amazing! It's hard to find a plumbing company you can trust, but these guys were amazing. Mike diagnosed the problem we were having and had a crew out the next day. They are fairly priced, on time and do excellent work.

I was not too thrilled with this place. I tried it beause the plumber we usually use was out of town. They were not able to get our sink unclogged but found other problems. I had no problem fixing the other issues but they charged us over $900! The estimate for the extra work was for $800 which I authorized and had no problem paying but then I was told to pay $900++! Disclosure would have been helpful to say it would be $800 then parts. They gave me $20 off(woopee). I feel ripped off. On top of that the sink was not fixed. My go to plumber came back and found a leak! I texted and they did not respond quickly. truth be told I was not calling constantly but frankly we played phone tag and I just gave up. I would go with someone else. George Bender Plumbing is the best. Dave was able to get the sinks unclogged and fixed the leak which I did not realize I had. I realize they did other work but really...not a great experience.

Mike and his crew are the best. I am so relived to finally find a plumbing company that I do not need to worry about being ripped off by. Its bad enough when you have an issue that needs a plumber to come out to fix and having then to worry about if this person is going to try and take advantage of me makes it even worse. They have done numerous jobs for me ranging from a kitchen copper repipe, snaking, to finding a leaky pipe in a bathroom wall. They always have the utmost professionalism and do quality work. I literally recommend them to everyone I know that is looking for a plumber.

Postscript: The owner Mike reached out after my review stating that someone did try to call back. He is right, I received a call at roughly 6PM on my household landline. The caller, having not listened to my voicemail, hit redial instead of calling my cell as instructed and never followed up. I do not use my landline, other than for outbound calling and Caller ID is blocked so I'm not even sure how that number was available. . . I am revising my rating based on this, Mike's effort and the fact that there seems to be a lot of satisfied customers, why I called to begin with.
Original Review: No return call after 24 hrs. . . and I still can't use the sink in my bathroom. Called Hillside because they were local. If you're too busy to return calls, hire someone to answer your phone.

Couldn't be happier! Called and got a same day appointment to install a new drain to my sink. Patrick showed up, was very nice and professional even though I was feeling under the weather. Better yet, he was half the price of another quote I got!
