Sunnyvale Plumbing

Very good service - came quickly and got the stuff done in 30 minutes for a clogged line near my kitchen and washing machine. He shared his daughter's violin performance on YouTube - Elizabeth Aoki. Can't believe he earns to provide best education for a very talented violinist.

Yes the Plumber is Korean and maybe in his sixties and his English is not the best, but seriously docking the man for all of this is unfair as he is good, reliable and tries to do the best that he can. I too found it a bit hard to communicate with him and had to be patient and ask him to repeat how he was doing things or also what could be done, to my full satisfaction Shim the plumber did an excellent job and was very fair on the price. I called around 11:30 on a Friday and got an estimate by 2:30 same day and he was able to repair a cracked copper pipe under my house that had a serious leak, work was done within an hour and a half and he also cleared a slow drain during the time allotted, my boyfriend was present and said he will also be using him soon. Honestly people do not judge Shim on his race and age, this is very unfair and if you were a foreigner you would hate being treated and written about in such a mean way. It would be different if the man was crooked and unreliable and evasive, but all being said he is an honest man and I will surely use him again in the future and refer him to my clients, since I am also a business owner. Thanks SHIM and thanks YELP for the lead.

I needed to replace my kitchen faucet and repair some leaks below my kitchen sink. I called in to schedule an on-site estimate and was pleased to see that it would be free and that the plumber could swing by later that day. The quoted price was reasonable and the plumber was able to fix the problem in a couple of hours. The plumber understood the problem quickly, explained to me exactly what he was going to do, and then got to work.

Overall, I'm really happy with the work and would recommend this business to anyone in need of a plumber.

Had some recent plumbing issues and found this gem! He is local, answered the phone, and was here at the time he promised. This appears to be a one man operation. It is no-frills, yet effective, and honest. English may not be his first language, but his work is thorough and methodical. I would recommend this business to anyone in need of a plumber. Very reasonable prices too...

Horrible experience. would give zero star if I can choose. Said and written guaranteed service. Didn't diagnose the problem right. Didn't solve the problem. Come back and ask more money to do more without any warranty or guarantee. And With VERY BAD ALTITUDE. On top of the old korean guy. He brought his bro. to argue that he won't do it without MORE money. On his receipt, guarantee service with 30 days warranty is fake statement. Bad Business Ethnic. Never use him again.... EVER....

Horrible experience. The guy who came over is a Korean, small and old (maybe over 60), but feisty. I explained to him the problem with laundry causing water overflow. But he insisted on just cleaning the main line. Of course, the problem didn't get fixed. When I called him back, he wanted to charge $60, now to clean the branch line, which he insisted on *not* cleaning in the first place. I told him to go away unless if he can do it for free. He said no, and left. Will never use their service again.

Horrible experience. We agreed to meet at my rental property at 9am today. He shows up at 8:30am and starts knocking on the designated apartment doors. (I provided him an email with the apartment #s and specific repairs). He proceeded to fix something not on the list that a tenant tells him about to relight a pilot light on a wall heater (which I can do in 5 minutes). He wants to charge $65 for this. He leaves at 9am for some reason, my wife is there to open up the doors waiting for him, and she is busy calling other plumbers, I call him on his cell and leave a vmail to ask what's going on. He then shows at 9:30am and then says it's $65 for the pilot relight and $485 to unplug a toilet and $85 to install a faucet sink.

At this point, my wife settles with him and pays him $40 cash to go away. Bad, Bad experience.

my hot water pipe below the sink broke last night and I called them today (Friday) at 8:45 am. the guy on the phone (Mike) spoke good English and scheduled an appointment between 9:00 and 10:00 AM!!!!!! If that is not impressive, i dont know what is.

the guy (Chen (?)) showed up at 9:15 AM and was super fast in replacing the broken pipe. He didn't speak much English but rather drew a lot of pictures :). The pipe was quickly replaced and he was out of the door by 9:45 AM!!! And the best of all, the quote was very reasonable and I even made it to work on time!!!

I would certainly hire them again!

Called them on a Monday for service on a Wednesday. No problem. I then changed it Tuesday around noon to the same day at 2p. He arrived five minutes early (!!). Mine was an easy fix; the kitchen faucet needed to be tightened. He gave me a fair quote, and then quickly and efficiently fixed my problem.

When I went to let the guy into my building, the first thing he did was give me his business card, which set my mind at ease. When he walked - er, race walked?? - to my door with all his stuff, I practically had to run to keep up with him. He was organized and knew his stuff.

The person on the phone (every time) spoke English without any problems. The plumber himself did not speak English very well, but he made sure that I understood him. He even drew me pictures to be absolutely certain.

All in all, very pleased. Would totally use them again for future work.
