Excellent service and quick turnaround time. Rico (Journeyman Plumber) is professional and Courteous. Cathy (Office Staff) has great communication and responsiveness. I would highly recommend!

I have used these guys for years without any problems whatsoever. Rudy is retired, the founder of the company but his son and the other guys are pro's and nice, honest people in my opinion. They never attempted to cheat us at all as far as I could tell. :)

This plumbing outfit is great. They've fixed whatever needs to be done at an affordable price, in good time and on time. Victor is polite, pleasant and knowledgeable. I've used another local service whose ""technicians"" tried to up sell a $100 job into a $1200 one. Victor told me how to get the parts from Delta for free and came back for the install. The office was in it, no problem, though some time had passed as I'd been outta town. Other repairs have been done with the same easy, reliable results. A number I won't lose!

So happy with the service! I had a slow draining sink, toilet and tub. The workers were all very nice. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

So happy. We had a leak in one of our showers. They asked me to send photos to make sure they brought the right parts (love this). Rico Jr was very nice, efficient and the price was less than what was quoted in advance. What can I say, but im so happy with the service and the opportunity to review.

I've used Rudy's several times now and each time they have knocked the ball out of the park. They are the best.

I trust Rudy's plumbing to do things right, make wise decisions, and price their services fairly. I rent to two sets of tenants in Monrovia and they are authorized to call Rudy's if there's a plumbing emergency and they can't scare me up. I don't have to approve the work in advance if Rudy's is going to do it.

In contrast, I've received some shocking bills from other plumbers, like the one whose workers spent hours driving across town to buy a $200 part for a discontinued power-flush toilet which, when working as designed, roared alarmingly every time it was flushed, which anyone who'd used it even once gained a conditioned fear of, exhibiting what behaviorists call ""one-trial learning."" They billed me almost $900, when a call to me would have turned them towards Home Depot, two miles away, to buy a $129 American Standard and install that instead. That company also billed $135 to fix a broken PVC irrigation pipe that didn't even require a shovel to reach, and when it leaked again 3 weeks later, because they hadn't done a good job, fixed it...and sent another bill for $135.

The worst was the Monrovia plumber who told me, sight unseen, that to fix a bathtub faucet that could not be turned off, he would have to rip up my slab foundation and replumb the entire house, when it turned out the problem was that the former tenant had attempted sabotage by opening all the taps and stealing the set screws that held handles to valves, hoping that the water would be turned back on while the house was still vacant or at least making it necessary to close the shutoff valve on the back of the house to stop the massive waste of water.

She also cut off both ends of [her own] garden hoses and left them in the yard like some demented Mafiosa warning. Herson slashed the tires on the car of my handyman. That hardworking man supports a wife and two children, one with special needs who frequently undergoes surgeries that are gradually correcting deformities in his legs and feet so he might one day get around on his feet instead of a tiny wheelchair. He got to buy a set of tires, all because the former tenants' son wrongly accused him of stealing the tough guy's potted plants. And I hadn't even evicted her Landlords of Monrovia and Glendale: DM me).

In conclusion: Rudy's office staff (one person, I think) is helpful and good-natured, Rudy's work to date has been accomplished swiftly and flawlessly, and at reasonable cost, and therefore Rudy's Plumbing is that stroke of good luck every homeowner dreams of.

Called Rudy's Plumbing to take care of some fixes that I needed around the house per my housing inspection. The visit to provide the estimate was very informative and I felt like I learned a lot about how everything worked and what was necessary / what I could live with, even if ultimately I didn't go with them.

In the end, I thought that their estimate was fair and they were very courteous, so I booked them for the work. A different person came to do the work (Rico), but he was just as patient and willing to explain everything as the first person (Rudy). They arrived within the arrival window and completed the work quickly.

We are working through another estimate for work and I'm sure that will go smoothly. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
