Recommended Customer Reviews

I called J.R. Plumbing just a few days ago and was able to get a same-week appointment--so convenient! My technician, Jesus Espinoza, arrived right on time (within the 8-9 AM window) and immediately stood out with his professionalism, great sense of humor, and personable demeanor.
In my experience, many contractors come in, do the job, and leave without much engagement--but Jesus was different. He took the time to communicate, made the process feel easy, and reminded me that great service still exists. It truly felt like I was working with someone who really cared about his job and other people.
Highly recommend J.R. Plumbing in Rocklin--and if you get Jesus, you're in great hands. Thank you again!

KB Homes subcontracted this company and they did a very poor piping job for a new construction home. The attached picture shows how they ran the air and condensate pipes for the water heater. These pipes were exposed outside of the garage wall, instead of being hidden inside the garage wall or at least being laid down on the garage floor.

While driving with my children in the car, one of the vans belonging to this business almost ran me off the road. They were tailgating and driving in excess of 80 miles an hour.
Don't support this business. Their employees couldn't care less about the safety of your family.

It's no surprise to me that this company doesn't have much of an online presence- it's for a reason. This is the plumbing that Meritage home builders users and when I say beware. . . I cannot stress it enough. We purchased our beautiful home in 2019 and absolutely love everything about it, except the plumbing.
We have had multiple plumbing issues- the main one being we had to get an upstairs pipe hydro jetted to the tune of $2,000 + dollars. The pipe we've been told (and given written, video, and photographic proof) by FOUR different plumbers now- was not only installed incorrectly, it is not up to code and is structurally incorrect. The pipe is 38 ft. long with NO OTHER lines tying to it - not even a sink, so waste from the toilet needs to travel horizontally 38 feet across the entire home with no assistance from any other water source. I'm talking POOP- STUCK IN THE PIPE- FOR 38 FEET. This is not up to code and we have no clue how this ever passed inspection.
Meritage has had JR pierce come out several times now claiming they would fix the issue- all they've done is come out and told us there's ""nothing wrong"" even though we have physical evidence that they installed the plumbing incorrectly. They literally looked me in the face and said ""you just need to flush the toilet multiple times after each use"". This is NOT NORMAL. I asked the main plumber if he could tell me this was installed correctly and he said he declined to answer.
A beautiful home with a sour taste in our mouth now all due to this company. I wouldn't even let them touch a faucet in our house again. We will be dealing with this issue for the rest of our lives now.

If I could give this business 0 stars I would my garbage disposal went out and when I went to replace it the idiots installed it wrong and now I have to take the whole thing apart just to install a new one. Now I have replace many disposals just by being able to turn that locking ring. I would never use them or recommend them for any thing.

Frank at JR Plumbing Co. was extremely professional, had a great attitude, wore a mask and even took off his shoes before entering the home! He helped me unclog a toilet within a few minutes of arriving and also did a general tune up on the lever operation. 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing. After a rough morning with another contractor, I was preparing myself for more of the same with the plumber.
Instead, Frank showed up, popped his shoes off (""don't worry, I saw the look""), then got straight to work on the leaky tub. I was surprised when he came downstairs just 5-10 minutes later, so I braced myself for the worst (again, rough morning). But, he was already done! He showed me the problem (just a missing o-ring), said he already replaced it, then wished me a good day.
We were so pleased and would definitely consider using them in the future. Thank you so much for your quick service and professionalism!

Would give a zero if they had a zero button. Just found another leak under my house because the plumber was too lazy to glue the drain pipe ! Bad enough he left his garbage under my house.

I called JR Plumbing this evening when my in-sink garbage disposal suddenly stopped working. My call was after hours, but he called me back right away. And then (and this is where it gets good), he spent time on the phone walking me through -- in detail -- how to troubleshoot the garbage disposal. And the best part, he got it working! Yes, it took a few steps. But he was patient, and even stayed on the phone doing a few extra tests to make sure it was working properly. He could have come out and done a service call, and then charged me for the whole thing. But instead he did this for free. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and a godsend given that I was in the middle of making dinner and was desperate for help. I would use this plumbing company again in an instant! Highly recommend!!

Don from JR Pierce plumbing came today to install our bathtub and shower pan for a bathroom remodel. He was very professional. I wanted to purchase a new shower pan instead of reinstalling the old dirty one. Unfortunately, the pan we needed was a custom size and not available. I went to several stores and called several more with no luck. Don hunted one down and installed it when it was delivered. I am very pleased!
