In 1965, a local plumber started Santa Monica Plumbing and Heating, laying the foundation for our service. In the early years, the company concentrated on servicing small homes. In the early 1990s, Marco Ramirez, an apprentice plumber, gained valuable experience with various plumbing and heating tasks at SMPH. In the mid-1990s, he assumed control of the business and broadened its offerings to encompass residential and commercial plumbing along with new construction.
Marco Ramirez earned his plumbing certification from a California trade school in 1989. Marco's initial job as a plumber was at Mike Diamond Plumbing in Culver City. He secured his business license in 1992 and learned to manage a small plumbing firm, accumulating experience in countless plumbing and heating jobs. He then joined Santa Monica Plumbing and Heating and shortly thereafter took ownership of the business. Marco oversees the operations and leads a dedicated team of plumbers, administrators, and contractors. A resident of Santa Monica and a father, Marco spends his free time mountain biking, exercising, and engaging in personal construction projects.

Recommended Customer Reviews

These are the best plumbers I have found. From the beginning the person answering the phone, Nora, is a kick. I had to have Manny and Armando out two days in a row because I had to have some bathroom tile removed before they could get to the problem. To my surprise they showed up first thing the second morning and fixed the problem. They cleaned up, there was no mess, no fuss. And they were nice. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Everyone I dealt with from Nora (the scheduler) to the plumbing team (Manny, Rudy, and Armando) went above and beyond. They were pleasant, patient, and considerate.
Nora was incredibly proactive by not just calling to let me know they would be running late (a pleasant surprise!), she took the time to determine how many bathrooms I had (one) and made sure I would be taken care of that day. I didn't have to point this out. (I guarantee I would have had to do that with other plumbers.)
Manny, Armando, and Rudy showed up early, solved the problem I identified, identified additional emerging issues, fixed them, helped with an impromptu faucet issue I pointed out. Simply put, they were rock stars.
Santa Monica Plumbing and Heating will be my go to plumbers going forward. I am so grateful I found them.

We have used Santa Monica Plumbing & Heating for many years now and every job they have been able to solve our problems quickly and efficiently.
They have done very small fixes to extremely large fixes (i.e. flooding and broken pipes) for us. Every time they have been on time and their staff is polite and they clean up after themselves. Manny and Armando usually come to our calls and those two couldn't be nicer.
As a small business we appreciate their dedication to their business. There is a lot of competition out there but these guys are consistently the best!

Manny and Armando came by this afternoon and solved our sink issue. Super easy to work with, very efficient, and thorough.

This is the third time I've used SMP&H and each time they've done a great job. This time I wanted to replace two very old faucets in our 70s-built condo, and it was a very difficult to get the new faucets to fit with the non-standard drain line. Manny and Armando worked into overtime, did a perfect job, went beyond the call of duty removing a gob of hair from the trap and line, and still charged me the original (discounted) price. Want to add that all three times I've used them it was clear these guys and Marco really know they're stuff. One issue is that they sometimes change their arrival time on the day of service, but this is due to them finishing the previous job(s) without compromise, and since I want the same dedicated service I'm ok with that.

I contacted Santa Monica Plumbing for a serious and messy plumbing problem with our bathroom. Manny and Armando showed up promptly and professionally took care of the problem. They were very courteous and took great care to minimize the mess. They went the extra mile to make sure the job was complete and that the issue was completely resolved. I couldn't more pleased with their professional service and demeanor. Highly recommended.

Santa Monica plumbing was prompt, professional and efficient! Manny knows his stuff, is super honest and had our gas line back repaired in a timely fashion.
This company and its team really exceeded my expectations and will be my first call when I ever need plumbing service in the future!!!

I found Santa Monica Plumbing in a recent and desperate attempt to find a plumber quickly. My usual tried-and-trues were unavailable or gave me a long wait time. SM Plumbing called me back almost immediately, and were ready to jump in right when I needed them. Marco was thorough in his diagnosis of the problem, and was responsive to my millions of questions. At the office, Nora (who is a GEM) picked up the phone nearly every time I called or called me back promptly when I left a message. Even in a stressful situation, they worked with me on my timeline, and worked tremendously hard over a 12 hour day in order to get the job done quickly and correctly. They were clean and followed up to make sure the job was done to satisfaction. They were an absolute joy to work with, and will be my go-to from now on.

This is my second time using Santa Monica Plumbing. Marco, Manny and Armando are great. This time they moved our washer and dryer from the garage into a closet inside the house that used to hold the boiler. From ripping out the old ducting from under the house, to running the new dryer vent, piping and installing the washer and dryer - everything was done neatly and professionally.

I recommend 100% this plumping company very honest and get the job done right the 1st time they come.. explain everything they doing and confirm with you before doing anything else to your home. Manny and Armando very polite and friendly guys
Thank so much for all your help!
