Recommended Customer Reviews

Did great work at a good price. Skilled services in the Bay Area are all expensive, but RPS was fair for the area. Made the transaction easy on me as it could be. I highly recommend.

My wall was leaking water. They sent someone whin 3 hours, stopped and fixed the leak in two hours

Very pleased with the services this business provided for me today. I had been dealing with a loud water pipe issue off an on for years. They were able to come do a free diagnostic (on a July 4th holiday) which was great as I had a rare day off.
The tech assessed the noises and felt they were related to a valve in the back of the toilets which he was able to replace, and also assured everything was under warranty and to please call if any future problems. I was very grateful, and impressed with their friendliness and professionalism.

I called RPS on a Sunday evening when my hot water faucet in the bathroom would not turn off. I shut the water off at the valve under the sink and took the handle off to see if I could fix the problem myself by replacing a washer or ""O"" ring. This faucet had some kind of cartridge that I had never seen before, so I decided to call in the experts. Angies List rated RPS with 5 stars as did Yelp. Bernadette was very accommodating on the phone and said she could have some one out first thing the next day. The technician, Joseph Salazar and his assistant Isaac showed up the next morning as promised and were very polite and professional. They diagnosed the problem and gave me my options to correct the issue and the price quote for each. They completed the job in a very short time period and gave me the senior citizen discount that I had requested. I am very pleased with the job they did and will definitely use this company again

I contacted RPS Ribbs Premier Services for a leaking angle stop and supply line under the bathroom sink at my office. This leak required turning off all the water to the office, so having someone come out as quickly as possible was needed. They came out within 20 minutes of my initial call and assessed the situation. They could not do all the work at that time (it was at the end of the business day) so they scheduled to come out the next morning. The technician arrived and started working on the bathroom valves and supply lines and wound up replacing some supply lines, valves, and hose bibs in our warehouse as well. Two more technicians arrived with some parts and to help out. They finished all the work within two hours. I have used RPS Ribbs Premier Services at my home as well (replacing a leaky kitchen sink drain and strainer) and I will absolutely continue to use them in the future and recommend them highly.

I needed to replace my water heater and was referred to this company by a friend, The lady who answered the phone was very nice and friendly and scheduled me for the next available appointment. The technician arrived right on time, very professional and in a clean uniform. His name was Joseph S. He did a full inspection of my water heater and provided me with a few options. He was very knowledgable and friendly. I highly recommend this company for quality work and professionalism. In addition the pricing was perfect and the new water heater is working great, very happy client.

Called this place based on the yelp reviews...the dispatch chick who answered was nice and professional...i think her name was Bernadette ..i had to ask her twice.havnt heard that name since the 80s..anyways my husband tried to fix the toilet himself which landed me having to shop around for plumbers....very stressful ..but she was very helpful...when patrick showed up to my house he was very nice and professional, got the job done right! and cleaned up his mess (which for some reason ppl who work at ur house dont like to do) id def refer this place to everyone

My bathtub faucet was leaking, so I asked for an online quote from 4-5 nearby plumbers through Yelp. RPS was the first to get back to me, so I asked them to come over to inspect the problem and provide their free estimate. The dispatcher was very professional, and they said they would be able to come today itself, anywhere between 3-5 PM. That's about where the pleasantries ended.
As 5 PM approached, I reached out to RPS and they notified me that their plumber was running late. No big deal, I understand that happens.
The plumber shows up at 6:30 PM and says he has forgotten shoe covers and the tool to turn on and off the water flow to the house. We were able to work around that, and that was a non-issue.
Now we get to the worst part: he estimates $690 for a cartridge replacement, and $1800 for some valve-thing fix if the cartridge replacement doesn't work. We say no and he heads out. He comes back and says he has talked to his supervisor and they can replace the cartridge for $375, but the potential $1800 fix might still be needed.
We said no, bought a replacement cartridge for $50, talked to a Home Depot employee for 20 minutes, and fixed the faucet ourselves in 30 minutes.
I am 100% sure they estimated $690 and $375 based on the location and condition of our house. When I reached out to the 4-5 plumbers, one of them said they would charge $275 for a cartridge replacement online.
I would look elsewhere for your plumbing needs.

We just had a toilet put in by Ray Ibanez. He was fast and did an excellent job! Also, we purchased a grab bar to assist my 91-year old mother when she comes to visit us and Ray installed it for free. Ray was very personable and very knowledgeable and we appreciated him very much. Also, it was so refreshing to be able to call RPS at all hours of the day, even on weekends, and they actually answered. We set up service on Sunday afternoon for the following week. Bernadette in the office was great. I highly recommend RPS - they are reliable and fast and they know how to give excellent customer service. Thank you, Ray and Bernadette!

I called them for a toilet leak. They diagnosed it to an uneven floor. I paid $1400 to get the floor redone. The leak persisted. The diagnosis was incorrect. I called them to come and check it out. They set up an appointment but they never came. Won't be using them again.
