Neighborhood Plumbing

Russell R.

In my opinion, plumbers are like emergency workers: when you need one you NEED ONE NOW. But they are also like car mechanics: they do hard dirty specialized work that you can't really evaluate because you aren't a plumber. So when you find an honest plumber like Leo of Neighborhood Plumbing, who cares about his work, explains the problem and the solution clearly, shows up on time, is responsive and genuinely concerned with doing quality work, you feel like you won the lottery!

Neighborhood Plumbing was great from start to finish. My job was an important but minor one that several other plumbers had declined because it was too small to fit into busy schedules. Leo responded quickly, did excellent work that easily passed inspection AND discovered that I could avoid over $1,000 in mistaken fees by knowing City Code and policy.

Leo's company deserves more than 5 stars.

---------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I have a thought about something other reviews have mentioned: phone contact.

Leo seems to prefer text messaging over phone communication. I'm old enough to remember the days before texting, but in this situation, text makes a LOT more sense than conversing. You get quick, efficient, concise communication because the plumber doesn't have to wait until he has ""office hours"" to yak on the phone. I would imagine it allows him to communicate MORE with clients since it doesn't distract from the task at hand.

Definitely win/win.

P. G.

Yes, I'm reviewing from SoCal because you never know when and where you're going to need a plumber!

My mom's place had plumbing issues and without anyone in our rolodex, I turned to Yelp!

To be honest, Neighborhood Plumbing wasn't my first call, but because they were the FIRST to answer my desperate plea and give me an appointment for practically the next day - I went with them. I felt much better knowing I was one step closer to getting the plumbing issue fixed, but it bothered me that I would not be able to look the plumber in the eye or oversee the work that needed be done.

The morning of the appointment, I was closer to being reassured that I had made the right call when I got a friendly reminder text of the scheduled appointment time, which I thought was awesome. More awesomeness followed when Leo arrived early and fixed the problem just as quickly and professionally.

The office manager, Amber, was equally professional. She answered every email promptly.

While I hope, like most people do, I hope that I don't ever need to call on a plumber again any time soon... in the future, if I ever do need one again in that area, Neighborhood Plumbing will now be the FIRST CALL I make.

Leo and his team are amazing! Neighborhood Plumbing, arrived 15 minutes early, texted and emailed letting me know they were here. They came to remove an old vanity, install a new one, and install a faucet in the kitchen. They were a pleasure to work with. Leo showed me some tricks on how to maintain my appliances. The rest of the team working in the bathroom seamlessly worked around a few obstacles and installed our vanity. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Side note: Our basement flooded back in October. Another company said the flooding was a problem due to our upper lateral and quoted us $15K to fix it. We called Leo for a second opinion. He came by, checked the basement and lower lateral and ran a level to double check the other company's findings. Leo said that there was nothing wrong with our upper lateral and the problem was on the city's side. Leo was 100% correct. We're now working with the city to address the problem. Leo did all of this for free and saved us $15K.

Stand up guys, 10 year old family business, nothing less than perfect workmanship - the city needs more businesses like Neighborhood Plumbing.

Leo and team are my family's plumbers.

Well I have to join the chorus here in totally commending Leo for an amazing job and above and beyond service.

First, a quick note on a review below. Leo finished nearly $7k of work at my building and in my unit just over a month ago and has yet to make any mention or comment about me posting on Yelp. I purposefully waited to see if he brought it up or tried to bribe a review, and can vouch 100% he hasn't.

For his actual work, he was honestly so far above and beyond the call of duty. He was installing a W/D and took total initiative of the project, working with the delivery company after my error in having the units delivered while painting was going on. He brought in his own electrician to upgrade electrical and spent 2 days waiting for the guy to make sure the job was done right. He communicated constantly and always just found solutions where other contractors or plumbers would ""flood"" me with problems.

It's really amazing to have found him. Thank you Leo, I hope I can work with you for many years to come.

Leo and his team at Neighborhood plumbing are my go-to plumbers. After calling many plumbers around the city and even trying a few, Leo by far is my favorite! He is very responsive, and has been able to accommodate us for same-day appointments when we're in a pinch. His team is honest, reliable, and his rates are fair. The work they do is top-notch and while other plumbers tried to gouge us on rates or up-sell us, Leo was thorough, honest, and someone I really trust.

Leo has done work for us at both our home and rental properties. He helped us replace a leaking sewer line after sending a camera through to confirm there were roots in the pipe and unclog a few drains.

At our rental property he updated the plumbing and installed new fixtures during a kitchen and bathroom remodel. He was also able to recommend other trades when we needed it to help install a tile surround around the bathtub.

A great guy and resource. I wouldn't hesitate to use Neighborhood Plumbing for your plumbing needs!

Leo's awesome. He's so responsive! Even if you don't get him on your first try he's always prompt to return your call. He replaced the sewer pipe in front of my house and also did some plumbing work for a rental apartment I own. Rates are reasonable and you can tell he's not trying to squeeze every penny out of you.

Leo has done numerous projects and repairs to our house. He responds quickly to email or phone calls. His work is excellent. For example, he replaced our broken hot water heater/tank within hours. He has also done excellent work switching all our old pipes to new copper ones. I highly recommend Leo from Neighborhood Plumbing

Leo is fantastic! He and his crew just left a minute ago. Leo has been our plumber for several issues we have had in the last few years in our building. He has reliably responded to a couple emergencies we have had as well. He has always done stellar work. With our most recent plumbing needs, I asked him to change the configuration of our gas line and water lines to accommodate a larger washer and dryer unit that needed to fit into a small closet space. He came out and did all that work. After the installation, there was a slight adjustment in the hoses needed again. He and a crew of 2 other guys had to move this very heavy stacked W/D out of the closet. I also told him about an issue that the dryer was having with the a kink in the vent, figuring that we would get an HVAC guy to come fix it. I was reading about solutions on the internet for this problem, and by the time I got back to look at the work they had done, he already installed the 90 degree vent elbow to fix it! He's fantastic. Above all that, he didn't charge me anything. Thank you Leo!!!
