Justin is a great plumber and a good guy. He fixed a toilet and got to the bottom of a problem I was having with moisture (with no clear cause initially). I trust him and would recommend him without hesitation.

Justin was awesome! I called for some toilet repairs, he had some open time, was in the area and came right over. His estimate was very reasonable. He took care of the problems, used quality parts, was extremely friendly and professional. Couldn't ask for any more. I would recommend them to anyone and we'll definitely use them again for our next project/repair.

Justin came out for an inspection and estimate. He was pleasant and professional. He seemed knowledgable and we will definitely use him in the future.

Justin knows what he's doing. We've brought him in a couple of times, including to install new water line / waste line fittings for our washer dryer. He works hard, is a straight shooter, and gets the job done. He's reliable and very honest, and I know I can let my guard down and trust what he recommends.

Did a great job with a nightmare sink clog. Called him around 11 and everything was completely taken care of by 1. Super impressed. Will definitely be calling Lucky Plumbing again if anything comes up.

After not receiving service from another plumber, I gave Justin a call late in one afternoon to help with my kitchen. We set up an appointment for the next day, and he showed up right on time. My snake from Home Depot hadn't been able to do the job, but his drop head snake was able to fix the problem fairly quickly. Having the right equipment really helps. The cost was under $100 for not only fixing the problem, but also rebuilding the sink trap and drain. I'll be calling Justin again if ever I'm not able to fix the problem myself.

Justin from Lucky plumbing just installed a new water heater and kitchen sink disposal in our home today. This is the second time we've used his services. He was just as dependable this time around as the first. He returned voicemail within minutes and was thorough and direct with his cost estimates.
We will continue to utilize Justin and his services for years to come.

Justin installed a water line for my new fridge. Great work! He was on time, professional and the total was as quoted. Plus he's a local! I will definitely use him again if needed and recommend him to anyone in the Pt Loma/OB area!

if you've read any of my other reviews you might have noticed I can get pretty granular so in an effort to be more concise... hmmmm... nope, who am I kidding. but maybe I can compromise and chunk it into sections at least.

LIVING IN THE MOMENT: Time will tell, but I'm definitely thinking Justin from Lucky Plumbing is a keeper.

JUSTIN FROM LUCKY PLUMBING: I hired Justin for a rental property sink repair last week and for 3 leaky toilets and a bathtub issue at my house a day later. he was really efficient, responsive, reliable, nice, and professional but still personable and down to earth and very easy to talk with. he was patient and attentive while listening to my issues. he gave me various options from cheap band aids to permanent solutions without me asking. I changed my mind midway with regard to the install of a new fixture and he was no pressure at all. he told me that his 2 brothers own other local plumbing companies so if he is booked he pretty much always has someone available to come. also, I'm a habitual texter and that was my initial contact with him. (just guessing a plumber would use his cell for business) he called me back within 5 minutes max each time I texted, including the initial contact.

BITCHING OUT THE X: (fyi, reading this section could not possibly benefit you in any foreseeable way. however it is making me quite happy to write, so chill...) I used to use another plumber for 14 years. I mean I used him *exclusively* and for *every* building we had including whatever home we lived in, our local rental properties, and the commercial strip we had at the time as well. as time went by he bought fancier equipment (camera snakes and whatnot) and i took note that his prices were climbing. and i also didn't like that he had various assistants that seemed particularly unfriendly and unpleasant to be around which really bugged me. he wasn't the friendliest guy in the world in the first place truth be told. but he was very familiar with the pipes/problems so i kinda let that slide for the minute. plus i assumed i'd built up some goodwill after over a DECADE of exclusively using him and figured i could call on it in case i had an emergency one day so i kept using him. then about 3 years ago one of the tenants said their bathroom faucet was trashed, doing the same thing it had been doing when we replaced it about a year earlier. so i assumed it had been installed wrong or else just defective. it's a beach rental so we never buy expensive brands but they never fail fast regardless and we've owned that building for 17 years now so i'm super familiar with its issues. but either way, i really expected my x-plumber to handle it one way or another because no way was this an issue that either me or my tenant could create and one year is too soon by anyone's standards for the fixture to fail... my x-plumber said it needed to be replaced and that i needed to locate the receipt or pay for a new one. i had no time to locate the receipt and since he made copies of the hardware receipts that he included with the invoices, could he please just find it? he very begrudgingly said he would try to look (but sounded exasperated... and im thinking ""for real!?!?! cuz it seems to me i've never asked you to go out of your way even once in the past...!!!"") okay so i wait like a week and then leave a message for him asking if he found the receipt cuz one way or another my tenants need a working sink. he just never calls back.... seriously?!?! cuz I asked him to locate a receipt??? whatever dude...

OK, this review is long over-due and I'm sorry for that, because Lucky Plumbing is honestly the BEST! We used to use another plumbing company, until early one Saturday morning when I came downstairs to find Yosemite Falls flowing out from the vents in our ceiling! Unfortunately for us, so many plumbing places were closed on the weekends and the few plumbers that were willing to come out wanted double the rates and said it would be hours before they could come over. Sadly, the water valve leading into our house was broken and the main water valve at the road was stuck and required a T-wrench (which we didn't have), so we didn't have HOURS to spare. Right when I was about to start building an ark and gathering the animals, Justin from Lucky Plumbing returned my call and came over immediately!!

So here's why I love Justin though.. 1. He doesn't charge extra for weekends [-say what?!!.. no, it's true! His rates are always the same]. 2. He provides what I call a McGyver (band-aid) option to fix the problem [-think of this as a short term solution so that you can save up the money to get the repair done right]. He also gives you a 'Professional option' for repairs [-this is obviously the repair that everyone ought to have but can't always afford it on the spot]. 3. Justin doesn't pressure you at all. He gives you all the information, tells you the cost and/or tries to provide options for you, and then let's you decide.

Since the Great Flood, we have had Justin return to repair the water valve that leads into our house. That way *IF* this should ever happen again, at least we would be able to turn the water off. He also discovered that our water pressure was too high and so he fixed that for us too!

I recommend Lucky Plumbing to everyone I meet, given that it's hard to find a good reliable plumber that you really trust and honestly, Justin is exactly that!
