Let me just start out by saying Matthew is a stud. Had to call 4 different plumbing companies before Lewis in order to get someone to come out to my house. Damn Santa Barbara.
Mathew came out and fixed my leaking tankless water heater and informed me that it was under warrantee even though they didn't install it!
Thanks for the ground work to save me some coin and get the job done. Will definitely be using Lewis again if needed.

They really are fantastic. Prompt, clean, efficient, stellar job. Exceeded our expectations. Had a new clean-out put in for our sewer system, a big job. They trenched the driveway and resurfaced it so you can't even tell. They removed and then replaced the stepping stone walkway that was disrupted by the job. And they did it perfectly. Can't say enough about this company.Thank you Lewis Plumbing!

My faucet broke recently due to an incident that occurred in my rest room, and I needed a quick fix because its the only one that I have in my home. Lewis Plumbing came the next day, early in the morning just how I asked. They fixed it up quick and were out just as fast. Great service.

A few months ago we had a plumbing emergency. After calling several different places in frustration, Lewis plumbing was the only place willing to come out and fix the problem right away! Everyone from Nicole to the gentleman that came to fix our faucet was awesome! I give you guys 5 stars and will be calling in the future for my plumbing needs! Thank you Lewis plumbing for being our savior!

These guys are charging $150 per hr. Give me a break! They are plumbers. And, I am all for paying the trade well. But this is ridiculous. Do you think they are paying their plumbers $100 or more per hr? Eek! Methinks not. So many other great choices at reasonable and fair prices.

In response to Lewis Plumbing's response...

What Lewis Plumbing said about no one locally sells the faucet, is not true. And this why I didn't call you... When your man came out to fix my original faucet and told me he couldn't fix it I told him I was going down to the plumbing supply house to buy a new one. He said he has one in his truck that is just as good. Obviously it wasn't since my first faucet lasted over a decade and yours lasted about 1 year. When the ""Lewis plumber's"" hand set broke a year after installation I felt it was an inferior unit and I had just been suckered into buying it because your man was at my house and he said he had one in his truck and if I went to buy another one he would have to come back and install the one I bought and charge me again.
I didn't call you at that time because I wanted to just get a new and better quality faucet set. So I went to Plumbing supply to look at their inventory and I brought the damaged hand set with me. When they saw the handset I had they said ""We sell that one also and we can give you a new handset to replace the broken one at no cost."" He showed me the sample faucet mounted on the wall and lo and behold... it was the same one Lewis sold me. He told me that they call the ""Lewis"" faucet a ""low-end"" faucet. The only difference was that their retail price was less than $125 not $300 that you charged me.
Why would I call you back after I saw that I was cheated? Continuing, since I got the new handset for free I reinstalled the second handset and for about another year it worked and then entire unit failed a couple of weeks ago... in this failure both the hand set broke again as well as base which is supposed to swivel had, over time frozen and was virtually immovable.
This time I did what I wanted to do in the first place, I bought a much better quality faucet for about what Lewis charged for the crappy Lewis faucet he sold me.
I should have looked closer at your YELP reviews. I won't make that mistake again

Joe was great! Clean, organized...got the job done right. Also a major plus was his amazing and informational attitude. He told me what he was doing and why. I have a very old home, with original (and fragile!) plumbing. Our kitchen drain was flowing in no time. I recommend Lewis Plumbing whole-heartedly. It was the first time I had called them, they came to my rescue. Thank you Joe :) and Lewis Plumbing.

Lewis Plumbing is my go-to.
Respectful, courteous, fast, affordable and reliable. Everyone is nice, from the woman who answers the phone to the plumbers who come to my house . They have always gone above and beyond for me.

We've had Lewis out at least twice to our house now, their technicians are always right on time, communication form their office manager is excellent, and most important of all their technicians are good at what they do! Most recently we had them out to help hookup a new dishwasher and kitchen sink after we did a full-remodel and our contractor had some issues with the plumbing part, they came in and got it all hooked up and straightened away in very little time, and for less money than I was expecting it to cost.

It is imperative to understand the policies and practices of a contractor before doing business. This applies to all vendors but especially Lewis Plumbing. I am accustomed to working with companies that foster open communication before, during and after the project. This was not the case. Martin and I have agreed to disagree on the final invoice. I have never worked with a vendor that does not seek a win-win resolution. He would not even agree to remove used materials from the work site.
