The business started as Sid Johnson Plumbing from 1960 until 1972, when it became Johnson Plumbing with the full-time involvement of Greg Johnson, our current president. In 1981, we incorporated and became Johnson Plumbing, Inc. Initially focused on new construction, we shifted our focus to service work in 2000; if it involves gas, water, or drains, we handle it and are fully licensed and bonded.

Greetings, I’m Greg Johnson, the owner of Johnson Plumbing, Inc. I grew up in this business, following my dad around since I was five. I naturally gravitated towards it, loving to hold the flashlight and hand him tools and fittings. I even remember my first show-and-tell in first grade was about a thermocouple for a water heater! I began at the bottom as soon as I could; you could say I was a ditch digger, LOL. We didn’t have a backhoe in those days; I was the backhoe! I didn’t even know trenchers existed until my dad hired one; I wondered why I was hand digging! I think he was just instilling character in me. He was recognized for being fair and honest; I hope we continue that tradition. He was the hardest worker you could ever meet, and I’m proud to be his son. I went full-time after high school, married a wonderful woman named Sharon Fauver, and we have two boys, each with four kids. We cherish them all. Call us today!

Recommended Customer Reviews
Had a leak at the office. Worked was done. Problem solved. Greg, the owner, reached out to make sure everything was done right. Highly recommend it.
Phil W.Stand up guy to refund the $300.00 thank you. I was surprised. Just to let you know, the capital letter response can be intimidating to some folks. Just saying. Thanks again
I had them come out about a week ago to unclog the sewer line. I elected to have them run a camera down to check what the problem was. With the camera he found the problem area and marked the spot on the lawn to where they should start the did if I elected them to so. They sent me a quote and I had my wife call them and to have them do the job. The job was done in one day which was great and I was sent the bill. Much less than the estimate. But I did get charged another $300.00 for the camera to be sent again because "" to locate line again sense the marks did not stay in place"" How does a painted mark move? I questioned the hours charged because I like to know what I'm paying for like any responsible home owner should do. I got an email back all in capital letters like I was getting yelled at for questioning them. At least that what it felt like. I told him so whats with the capital letters? I was told that he answers all of his emails and estimates in caps with a lol. I hope this fix stays fixed. Maybe next time I need to get more quotes, sorry to say I did not. The pipe is repaired and I can flush without any issues.
Ram K.Exorbitant price of 1000+ dollars to do basic handyman work of changing angle stop and supply lines. Didn't fix the original problem for which they have been hired where it needs real professional plumbing experience. Charged 100+ for giving estimate and they don't give credit if you get the job done through them as well. Please avoid unless you have a large budget to spend on plumbing job and look for better options if you can. Not friendly and cooperative to work and get job done
Next update:
Problem is job quoted was not completed, and price charged was more than quoted price without fixing the problem where it needs plumber experience. Basic small things were taken care and were charged beyond the quoted prices. They charged a hourly rate of 118 dollars to look around for a part by driving to Lowes. Looking at other reviews , spending time on looking for part and charging customer seems to be norm here.
My house is 40 years old and was a rental for 24 years. I've just moved back in, (and it seems as if everything I touch in the house falls apart -- but I digress.) Jason Pettit from Johnson Plumbing came to my house to fix the leaking water valves to my washing machine, a leaky bath tub faucet, and (last but not least) to hook up a gas dryer. I appreciated the company's phone call and Jason's timely arrival. He wore a mask without being asked, was very knowledgeable, and explained each step as he worked. The charges were quite reasonable. Most importantly, I have peace of mind knowing the work was done right!
Kelly P.Greg Johnson is a God-send! I had a broken waterline and on the advice of the city got 4 quotes for service before choosing a plumber to do the job. Boy am I glad I stuck to following that advice. This company was the first I spoke to. Two men from other companies were able to get to my house before Greg could get there so Greg was the 3rd plumber I experienced in person. Two of the 3 other plumbers were nice but it was clear to me from meeting with all of them and asking them all to send me quotes that the one who didn't want to rip me off was Greg. All the other plumbers were laying groundwork for ""a possible total replumb"" or ""slab leak"". The lowest bid I got for just repair work and not replacement/replumb was still sky high. Greg saved the day! He got it done for only a few hours of labor and whatever the parts cost which weren't much. I have no idea about plumbing and all the plumbers knew it. Greg wasn't interested in taking advantage and as a matter of fact came and oversaw the work while it was being done by his worker and let me tell you, Greg has definitely earned my trust. He makes sure his men do the job properly, that his customer isn't getting ripped off or mislead, or that work isn't done that isn't actually needed, and that a bigger more costly issue isn't accidentally (or on purpose) created. He clearly cares about the service he provides and isn't interested in raking people over the coals. This would be my recommendation to anyone for any plumbing issue, and they span over a pretty large territory that covers multiple counties and cities in the central valley so try these guys first. Greg also has a background in construction so he knows what he's looking at beside just the plumbing, and has folks in other trades that he can connect you with that will do the repair work his company doesn't if you don't want to be burdened with finding a company you can trust on your own. Good people tend to like to create a network of other good people to work with, and it's nice to have the option of a ""one stop shop"" so to speak, and to trust that they aren't collectively ripping you off. Greg got my issue addressed next day despite being slammed with work out of nowhere that day. Greg is a man of his word and doesn't just care about securing business and what's going to get him the most money, but about the people he's helping and the affects on them. His hourly rate is higher than the others but to be honest it is well worth it. The others might have a lower hourly rate but they're going to rake you over the coals. Greg will give you honest, quality work, at what is a very reasonable price especially considering the amount of honesty and piece of mind the extra ~$30 an hour gets you. I'm happy to pay it.
Greg got my problem addressed and water restored to my home by the next day! Thank you Greg! You are noble and much appreciated! I will call you for any future needs I may have.
Jack M.They had some difficulty getting the replacement faucet due to shipping. As usual, very efficient service worker. Mike was polite and outfitted with mask. Seems like we periodically have them repairing someone.
Ed R.I Called Johnson Plumbing because the sprayer hose on my kitchen sink had started leaking. I told them exactly what I needed. The plumber shows up, looks at the leak and says he can't repair it and doesn't have any parts. I was informed if I got the part they would return and replace it. The charge for the original visit was $106.00. A second charge of $106.00 would be required for the second visit for a total of $212.00 to replace a hose. I would have replaced it myself except I'm too old and stiff to crawl under the kitchen sink. I called Johnson Plumbing's office and got a quite snarky customer contact guy who said the first visit was to ""diagnose"" the problem ""just like at an Auto Repair Shop"" and the charge was required and non-negotiable. He said it with a smile you could hear. I got Lowe's to finish the project. I've included a picture of the ""hose requiring diagnosis"". It cost $106 to be told there was water leaking out of my sprayer hose. This company might be good for major plumbing jobs but for a small job - Forget it.
If you're a senior citizen with a small plumbing job, I would suggest you utilize another company.
Alyssia H.Our drains were clogged and toilets were not flushing properly. I called them in the morning and they had someone out within 30-45 mins. The service tech was super knowledgeable & got everything done in less than hour. Their prices are affordable as well!
The toilet started to bubble and all of a sudden water was seeping up both toilets and bathtubs...AGHHH! We called Johnson plumbing and began to grab towels as quickly as possible. The fantastic crew at Johnson plumbing arrived within 2 hours of the phone call; well within the estimated time of arrival. The plumber, Brad, was polite and worked quickly to unclog the main and reseal the toilets. Just like that my Monday went from crappy to happy! Thanks, Johnson Plumbing.
