Recommended Customer Reviews

Starving Plumbers is an incredible company that has been around for many years, even through Covid, and their craftsmanship and dedication to quality work explains why! They installed all the plumbing I needed for a washer and dryer and hand sink. They delivered on time and were mindful of the quiet and clean setting I needed in my massage business. Overall, highly recommend!!

What a FANTASTIC job! Eric, the president of the company, figured out a better and less costly route for the water line replacement from the street to the house. His crew, Jose, Alex and Alex, did top-notch professional work on the outdoor, indoor and cleanup parts of the project. Also, their bid was the lowest of the licensed plumbers we interviewed. Michelle in the office was prompt in responding to questions. We'll definitely call Starving Plumbers for any future needs -- they're superb!

I just love when I can write a positive review . Eric at Starving Plumbers is 5 star all the way . He cares about his customers and goes the extra mile to provide attentive, efficient service . He is definitely the plumber to call if you want excellent plumbing service .

I've used Starving Plumbers 3 times, and they have been really great! I am able to make appointments without a delay and the plumbers they send out are really good. Alex in particular was thorough and did they work timely. I would highly recommend using them!

Absolute rip off. Expect to pay at least double what a standard reasonable plumber would charge.

Called four plumbing companies for an easy job; swapping out an old kitchen faucet and a drinking water faucet for new ones. One of the plumbers I had done business with last year. Starving Plumbers called me back promptly, two never responded and the one I had done business with in the past, responded three days later. I had the job scheduled for Monday morning btw 7:30-9. Eric called that morning to apologize for a schedule change for the guy who was scheduled to arrive, but offered to come and do the job himself if I couldn't handle the time change. I could not, so Eric came out. The time was a little longer than estimated, but as sometimes happens, we had some stumbling blocks. In any event, Eric did a nice job and we're satisfied!

Well, I've given them enough time and enough chances. They are friendly enough on the phone but weak on follow through.
I asked them to come out to give me an estimate for replacing a waterheater. Simple job. Simple estimate. Strict replace.
They came out on time and we discussed the project. Eric gave me a ball park and I said great and asked for the written estimate. Several weeks later it never showed up. I emailed the info email and never got a response.
I texted Eric and a week later he called back. We talked about the project again and asked if he was still interested. He said he would look for his notes and get back to me. Never heard back.
Someone else got the business.

Starving Plumbers has installed a kitchen sink, replaced pipes in walls, replaced a garbage disposal, unclogged sinks, put new shutoff valves on all sinks & toilets (replacing cheap plastic ones), installed a new shower parts, installed a new garbage disposal, installed a new water heater (including running a new emergency run-off pipe to the outside of the house) , and installed a seismic emergency gas shutoff valve for the home. Each visit has been a good experience. I'd recommend this crew to anyone.

Faucet replacement and dishwasher repair. Starving Plumbers did a great job on both. For the faucets, they gave us several different options, ordered them for us, and efficiently replaced them. We thought the dishwasher was a lost cause, likely in need of replacement, but they managed to solve the problem for us, saving us a considerable sum. They were prompt, clean, very pleasant to deal with, and super responsive. Highly recommend!

Pat, and John did outstanding work when the old galvanized pipes from the main to my house began leaking causing puddles alongside and under it. Trenches had to be dug and all the pipes had to be replaced. John and Pat were careful and precise in their work, patient with my questions, and always did more than what was required. John even pointed out an easy way for me to increase the flow from the faucet in the bathroom--all by myself. Lastly, they resodded the trenches. These guys are great and so is the owner, Eric, who made sure everything happened on time. Terrific company.
