Ocelot Plumbing

We did a steam shower in our new master suite and Ruben and his crew did all the plumbing work for it. It came out great and I use my steam shower several times a week, after workouts and to just get hella warm! Price was reasonable and the work was solid, it's been over a year and no problems whatsoever. I would highly recommend Ocelot for a job like this where you want a personal touch and have someone with years of experience to help you out. I would attach a photo but all the work is behind the tiled walls, but trust me it's all working beautifully.

Our home in East Oakland was build in the twenties. We love our home and have over the last 19 years made some improvements, except the water piping. We have a pending estimate with Ocelot Plumbing that we will start soon but in the meantime, we have rely on Ruben to trouble shoot our shower piping and other small quick repairs. I appreciate Ruben--the owner of Ocelot--for being able to assist our home plumbing fixes even before embarking on the big overhaul or our home plumbing. No job is too small or too big for Ocelot Plumbing. That's for sure!

Ruben plumbed a rather complicated retrofit of a kitchen and shower into a small rental unit. He did a great, high-quality job.

Ruben was referred by another plumber who couldn't come on very short notice. He kept in touch with us about the scheduling and replaced the leaking gas line in a very short time. I was very pleased with the service, his positive attitude and experience and - even more - the reasonable price!

I manage a few older buildings and apartment complexes in Oakland and whenever I'm stumped or in a bind, I call Ruben/Ocelot Plumbing and they are always great. I had a pipe burst in a wall and they came out and helped me though the whole thing (late at night to after midnight) and then came back the next day to help me figure out what was going on and what needed to happen.

Ruben is the man! He not only does quality work but he also takes the time to explain your repair in terms you can understand. I've called him to do plumbing work at my house multiple times and he has always been professional and courteous. Most recently he fixed a pipe that ruptured under my house the same day. Thanks Ruben!

I can't praise Ruben highly enough. The work he did was far beyond my expectations. I was coming to grips with the harsh reality that I finally needed to have all of my ancient original galvantized water pipes from 1916 replaced. Ruben and his three-man crew did the job and soooo much more. They did some rerouting of pipes, they removed a ton of absolutely unnecessary pipes from an old laundry room that use to exist--and numerous other things that brought my plumbing situation from the 1900s to 2018. They even snaked all of my drainage pipes for the hell of it! All for the original price that was quoted--which was incredibly reasonable for a three-man-team (they also hired a guy to deal with the messy job of cutting thick-rooted juniper shrubs and digging up a clean strip in the front yard to get to my front yard. So I guess you could say it was a four-man crew). And I could write an entirely new review praising his work ethics but I'll just say he communicated every single chore that needed to be done in detail but in friendly layman's terms. They were always on time and apologized for the slightest inconveniences such as noise or shutting off water for a short period. Great team.

Ruben is professional, on time, and very competent. We had a number of plumbing issues in an older home with non-standard plumbing fixtures. After trying 2 other plumbers that provided unacceptable service and did not get the job done (even though we paid them) Ruben came through; no BS, no problems, and we feel very good about the work. He even fixed the problems that other plumbers created. His rates are reasonable and he did not charge us for additional effort to find unique parts. We highly recommend Ocelot Plumbing.

great and totally reasonably priced plumber. came in for one simple thing and wound up fixing a few other issues we had and still charged us one price. will definitely call them again for future work as other local plumbers not only charged more but never really fixed the problem. i feel like these are the guys you call when all the other people can't do the job.

$140 dollars for a washer to be changed. This is pretty insane. Invoice stated ""Hot side faucet rebuilt"". Not quite, actually this was just a washer replacement. Prices charged are insane.
