R&L Plumbing was great in handling my faucet issue! Ceasar P. was very professional and prompt during his visit. When it turned out I needed a whole new faucet, he was so thoughtful (and speedy!) when choosing a new faucet for my sink. I could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you for being considerate of my time!

We had multiple vent and drain line issues at our property during the summer. Saul was the estimator and he made sure that he was my point of contact. The R&L team did a GREAT job replacing a broken vent line, a corroded drain line, and relocating and securing a 2nd vent line. They even took the time to clean out a gutter for us while they were replacing the corroded drain line. Multiple repairs that required scaffolding were all coordinated by Saul. Having a single point-of-contact made a potentially difficult process go extremely smoothly. Saul even reduced his bid when upon closer inspection, he found some anticipated work would not be needed. R&L has integrity, professionalism and honesty!

I scheduled an appointment for Monday of last week between 3-6 PM. I had to take time off work, which was very inconvenient, but we needed our garbage disposal fixed. The plumber never showed up, and I never got responses to my text messages about the appointment. I then called them to ask whether the plumber was on his way. They said they ""just found out"" about the appointment, and asked to schedule it another day. I was disappointed because this was another half a day I had to take time off work, but I agreed.

I then called them the day of the appointment to confirm the appointment (because I was taking time off work again, and I wanted to make sure they were actually coming). I called at 11am, confirming that the appointment would be between 12-1pm.

The lady on the phone was extremely rude, and responded with ""Didn't I just talk to you yesterday? Yes, nothing has changed since yesterday."" I hung up and was about to head out to run some errands when the plumber showed up 1.5 hours early, when I could've easily not been home. He stayed for no longer than 5 minutes, but I was charged $149 for the hour.

1 star because of the lack of professionalism, and the extremely steep price.

The only positive is that the plumber who arrived at my apartment was extremely polite and helpful.

Another great review for Cesar, this time with his partner David. The problem: how to stop the bathtub from dripping ....WITHOUT busting up any tiles? One plumber and one contractor said can't be done. Have to replace the tiles, which will cost extra money (upsale?)

(In case you don't what an upsale is, here are two examples: you take your car in for an oil change and the guy says you need new tires, your cars not safe to drive on the street. Or you go to a dentist because you got a cavity, and the dentist says you need all sorts of work or your teeth will fall out. Experts can do this to us.)

So what about plumbers, they're experts too? Yep, they can upsale us, too. So you need to go to someone you can trust, who gets good reviews on Yelp from people like us.

R&L Plumbing are the good guys! They don't mess with you. They sent Cesar out to take a look at my dripping bathtub faucet, and he said I think I can fix it without removing any tiles. Not certain, but let's give it a shot. Get your landlord to shut off the water for an hour or two (post the warning 24 hours in advance) and I will come back and see what I can do. Guess what?

He came back, opened the handles, found he needed some parts (the bathtub was so old, he had to go to a special supplier who has such parts), and then he took off quickly in his truck and came back with the parts in less than an hour, and he fixed the dripping faucet within next 30 minutes. WITHOUT breaking any tiles in the bathroom!

That, my friends, is a five-star job, by a five-star plumber, working for five-star outfit! Highly recommended!

We had a reoccurring issue at one of our commercial locations which other plumbers didn't want to take on. Saul and Phillip had no hesitation taking on the task and finding a solution to our problem. They were extremely knowledgeable, responsive and courteous. I'm so glad I found them and am looking forward to working with them again.

Cesar was super helpful, cordial, and responsive in installing our new water heater. He answered all of my questions and made sure I had a good understanding of what to expect with the new heater. Had a great experience with R&L!

Building manager sent Cesar and Gerson to find a leak and unclog a drain - they were related! They found the problem quickly - broken pipe in the wall (for the leak) and unclogged the drain. They were very professional during the work - they kept the mess to a minimum and cleaned up completely. Even though it was getting late in the day, they made sure everything was working properly before they left. Good team!

Bob came to my apartment this week to fix a broken sink. The problem turned out to be more complicated than initially expected, but it was no match for Bob. He was very efficient and professional, demonstrating a ""can do"" attitude and going above and beyond to make sure we were fully satisfied with the repairs. I would absolutely recommend Bob from R&L plumbing, and will call him again for my future maintenance needs. Thank you, Bob!

R&L Plumbing did a fantastic job on a number of jobs in my apartment. Cesar and Mark were in my apartment for hours and were able to restore cold water in my sink, something we have not had in 4 years! They also replaced our old toilet and bathroom sink faucet. Our apartment feels much more comfortable after the great work both of these guys did. Both were incredibly friendly and accommodating as well. I would high recommend R&L Plumbing for any job you have. Thanks again to Cesar and Mark for their great work!
