"I highly recommend Robert as a plumber. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, responsive and honest. His work is of the highest quality and he always provides excellent customer service. He is always willing to explain in detail what needs to be done and is very open with his pricing. His prices are fair and he never tries to upsell you on unnecessary services. I have been using his services for years and have never had any issues. He is the only plumber I ever trust with my home."

Customers say: Quality work

"On Saturday, at about 4:00 in the afternoon, the toilet and shower in my master bathroom had overflowed so bad that it had seeped into my bedroom. (This had occurred simply after I ran the washing machine and dishwasher at the same time.) Suffice it to say, this caused a panic in me. Thankfully, I was able to ascertain the problem with the help from a friend who used to be a plumber. This helped me to realize that, though inconvenient, the problem at least wasn't some kind of emergency. With that, I immediately began reaching out to any plumbers I could find. The quotes that I was receiving were simply far too high for the job, especially because I know how to snake a clean line myself. In fact, I would have done so myself, were it not for my desire to have a camera down the line. (I had a clog about a year ago, so I was interested in seeing if there were any larger issues.) Of all of the plumbers that I got into contact withâ including one of my friend's plumber friendsâ Precise Plumbing had the best rate. They were willing to do the job at a rate that I could afford. Not only this, Malik, who had come out to do the job, worked with excellence. He was punctual, communicative, and competent. Not only this, he was also very personable. After he finished the job, he showed me the root problem that he picked up in the cameraâ which was actually roots. He explained long term solutions, but was in no ways pushy about it. I immediately put Malik's work to the test by running both the dishwasher and the washing machine again, which had caused the overflow in the beginning. You'll never guess what happened... nothing at allâ the problem was solved. Anyways, I write this review to say that Precise Plumbing is the way to go. I will definitely be telling my friends about them, but I hope the HomeAdvisor community could likewise benefit from such a competent company."

"The free estimate was conducted by phone with Matt.  He answered all of our questions fully, confirming that we did not need to install a larger unit and that all usual pipe and/or valves that needed to be replaced would be included in the quoted price.
The installer, Bobby, showed up within the stated time period, which was only two hours after the initial contact. He got right to work and was efficient, neat, and skilled.  He removed the old unit, took out some unnecessary pipes that were left from an old solar heating unit, and quickly installed the new unit.  He then demonstrated the thermostat operation, which is very different from the previous unit's, tested the operation, and cleaned up the area.
The price was reasonable. The unit has a good warranty (and looks nice ).  The Angie's List discount was applied with no problems.
My husband is a former plumber so he kept an eye on the whole install, and was pleased with the entire experience.

"I called Oak Plumbing to have my garbage disposal repaired. A young man named Andrew showed up at my house and quickly assessed the situation. He was prompt, efficient and professional. He found the problem and resolved it, allowing me to get back to doing dishes. I also appreciate that their service charge is very affordable. I'm very happy with the job that was completed and will be calling Oak Plumbing for all of my future plumbing needs!"

"Leo did a very extensive plumbing repair that required digging through my bathroom floor and replacing a huge pipe to the outside. He also prepared and installed piping and fixtures for a bathroom remodel. Always showed up when he said he would and had a great crew. Cleaned up as well. Would highly recommend."

"Fito Plumbers installed a new sewer line at my house. I appreciate good customer service when I see it, especially when it is with a contractor. My experience with Fito Plumbers was a positive one from the very beginning. From the quote, all the way through the final signoff Fito's team was great. Fito was honest and kept in communication with me over the one month period that it took to get the permits. His team showed up when he said they would, they were courteous and they respected my property. They did not kill one plant on my property which is a first. They cleaned up at the end of each day and they restored the pavers to the point where I can not tell where they had to remove them. I also appreciate that Fito's team power washed all the utility paint markings not only on my property but in the street. My street is covered with paint from previous work by others. Overall, Fito Plumbers was competitively priced and went beyond expectations with the installation."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

In Oakland, hidden costs often arise from the need for seismic upgrades, replacing outdated pipes, or installing water-saving fixtures. Excavation in hilly or rocky neighborhoods can require extra labor, and older homes may need special handling for lead or asbestos pipes. Additional expenses may also come from temporary water shutoffs, permit fees, or emergency plumbing services during periods of heavy rain.

Helpful?

Oakland homeowners should pay attention to persistent drops in water pressure, recurring leaks, or rust-colored water, as these often point to pipe corrosion or main line deterioration. Gurgling sounds, moisture near baseboards, or mineral buildup around fixtures can indicate hidden leaks. If your water bill increases unexpectedly, it’s wise to address the issue before it escalates into a major plumbing repair.

Helpful?

In Oakland, be wary of plumbers who provide vague or unusually low quotes, skip in-person assessments, or avoid discussing permit requirements. Watch for missing written estimates, lack of local references, or any suggestion to bypass code compliance. Reliable professionals will clearly outline project steps, include details on fixture upgrades, and explain how they’ll address unique local plumbing challenges.

Helpful?

Begin by researching licensed local plumbers and confirming permit requirements in Oakland. Schedule work during drier months to minimize weather-related delays and coordinate with utility companies if main line access is needed. Order all necessary fixtures and pipe materials in advance, and plan for proper disposal of old plumbing. Clear communication with your contractor and early scheduling of inspections help prevent project setbacks.

Helpful?

In Oakland, the longevity of plumbing work depends on using corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring all installations are earthquake-ready, and addressing hard water mineral buildup with proper filtration. Older homes often have galvanized pipes that need regular inspection. Proper pipe insulation, adherence to local code requirements, and accounting for shifting clay soils all help prevent leaks and maintain stable water pressure over time.
