RHS Plumbing & Drains
Company Overview
Our plumbing services are a source of pride, and we strive for first-time success, leading to a loyal customer base. In 2015, we established RHS Plumbing & Drains with a commitment to excellence in every job we undertake. Initially, Richard’s Plumbing & Handyman Service began assisting the Hacienda Heights area with various home repairs. Shortly thereafter, we evolved into Richard’s Home Service Inc., enhancing our understanding of what our customers require. We discovered that plumbing and drain cleaning were essential services for older homes in the community. Regrettably, we encountered many stories of untrustworthy contractors preying on the elderly, demanding high prices for inadequate work. Richard’s Home Service Inc. aimed to change this, and in 2022, RHS Plumbing & Drains became licensed, bonded, and insured to provide the necessary services with the assurance of working with a reputable company that has deep community ties. Earning a living doing what I love while helping you enhance your home or business is the true definition of a ""win-win."" Here’s what you can expect from me: *Transparency, including clear pricing and honest explanations of my suggestions. *Integrity, as I refuse to use substandard tools, parts, work ethics, or installation techniques. Everything is done correctly the first time. *Fair Pricing, where my rates are both competitive and fair, ensuring you receive exceptional service from a knowledgeable technician. Questions about the invoice? Please ask. Your satisfaction and comprehension are essential to our collaboration. *Hourly rates are available for select services. RHS has a minimum service charge of $169 for any work performed. An $89 assessment fee applies if no work is completed. *Emergency services or after-hours work are not included in this fee.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Our cooktop was out. I called Richard in the morning and he showed up with his son Nathan in the afternoon. Since our cooktop was so old and beyond repair, Richard suggested we get a new one. He and Nathan worked really hard trying to get one for me. He finally got one for me after numerous calls. He went to picked it up for me and installed that evening. He and Nathan spent over 5 hours and finally got the job done. I really appreciated he resolved my problem the same day I called him. I can't thank him enough that we have a new cooktop to use right a way.

Richard Ortega and his son Nathan are really terrific. They are knowledgeable, capable, dependable (show up on time), careful, and on top of all that, they're very friendly too. Can't recommend them highly enough. You will be very glad that you engaged them to help with whatever household repairs you have. 5+ stars! (I live in NYC, but engaged them for work on my mother-in-law's home in Hacienda Heights while I was visiting her.)

Called multiple times, never got a call back. I was looking forward to his service. I found another decent plumber

Richard is very professional and does great work. Very good with communication, punctuality, and price. I highly recommend him for your handyman needs.

I have had Richard help me fix a gate, fix a fence and remodel my bathroom. I have found his work ethic and quality of work to be excellent! He is on time and focused on the task at hand. He listens to my thoughts and concerns while inputting his skills and knowledge to accomplish an outstanding finished product. I would highly recommend him for any home repair issues.

Our main water line busted on a Sunday, we are fairly new to the area, so we asked our neighbors if they knew of a good plumber they could recommend. We were given two names and also called Home Advisor. Richard was first to call back and gave us the best pricing out of the three. He had a prior commitment but promised to come back and work on our issue. He came with his crew, ready to work. His team was courteous, professional and kept us informed. When they were finished, they left the area looking so nice, you couldn't even tell the had to dig up a trench. It has been a week and no issues. We will be using his service in the future without hesitation. Thank you Richard.

This review is long overdue. Richard is the ""guy"" right for the job!! Anything that has to do with plumbing and I found out electrical. Just look at that face!! You can tell he's truly honest.
The main pipe to my house was leaking from old age (what do you expect when galvanize piping is used?). I had a deadline to get it done. I was looking possibly at $4k to $5k for redoing my plumbing in copper. Called all the major plumbing companies. Richard even gave me an estimate and was less expensive.
When I finally decided to go with Richard, he and his partner (I forgot his name-also a great guy- Richard and his partner have a wealth of knowledge together-two heads are better than one!). And thank Goodness I hired both of them bc the 4-5k only turned out to be $490.00 job!!
After they both breached through the ground, they sourced the leak at an elbow connection and the rest of the piping to the house was perfectly fine. They said that they just need to replace the connection and installed a new valve.
Richard and his partner is worth the deal one stays at the site and analyzes the situation and while Richard goes out and buys all the necessary materials and that ultimately saves you time and money. Richard and his other partner had worked for the union and worked on job sites for years and decided to start their own company. These guys are legit!!
I originally hired Richards plumbing to do a whole job to replace the plumbing with copper bc we didn't know how bad the leak was. Most big plumbing companies probably wouldn't be upfront to tell you that the leak was localized in one part of the area and have you replace the whole thing and have you pay $5k. Not Richard....nope. He told me the good news and told me that I would be charged an hourly rate instead. His hourly rate for the two of them is an awesome deal!! Can't beat $490.00!!
They cleaned up after they were done and I couldn't be left so so grateful to them!! You're paying them directly not to a company so there's that immediate savings right there. He insured his work and I'm a grateful customer.
I have Richards plumbing saved on my contacts so if there's anything else I need done like electrical or more plumbing, you know whom I'll be calling?!!

I'm very satisfied with the outcome of the service that Richard and Edgar performed today, very professional. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RICHARD'S PLUMBING AND HANDYMAN SERVICES. You'll never regret having these guys do plumbing job for your residence.
They are the BEST.

5 Stars all the way. Honest, affordable and communication on point. I called RICHARD on Saturday for some plumbing issues we had at our home. He came out the same day to fix the problem, even went above and beyond to help me install a couple other things. I will definitely be referring him to anyone who needs work in their home. Thanks again Richard!

Richard was very professional and clean. He puts a lot of detail in his work. Will definitely use him again. He installed a couple of bbq hoods for me which needed a custom design to fit.
