Fantastic. See above comment's.
Description of Work: I came home from a weekend trip to find my water heat had been leaking. After numerous call's to various plumber's, It was Brain at Ed Paster and Son who gave me the best price and sent someone out that day to install the new water heater and remove the old one. I do not recall the installer's name, but he was friendly, efficient, experienced and able to do the job alone. I had not had any problem's since. They did the job right the first time. I have used this company in the past and alway's been pleased. I will continue to use Ed Paster and Son….Brian.

They did everything possible to keep from tearing up my family room floor 2 days before I was expecting a house full of company. In the end, they cut a hole through the bottom of a built-in cabinet to make the repair.

Gave me a price before starting the job(s). Came into my town home... and placed towels around the work area (he brought towels). Cleared out everything underneath the sink. Took his time working on the pipes. Showed me the completed job in the kitchen.. than went upstairs to attack the clog in the bathroom sink. Always cleaned up the area that he worked in.
Description of Work: Came home from a Winter vacation to find out from a friend (who was house sitting) that there was a leak under the kitchen faucet near the garbage disposal. Brian from Ed Paster and Son came out within the hour. After checking under the sink, he told me that the old PVC piping was cracked and needed to be replaced by something stronger (he told me what it was... but I don't remember what he called it). I also told him about a small clog that I had in the upstairs bathroom. Brian was super nice (the real deal), and was very patient and answered all my questions and concerns. Very nice person. Easy to talk to.

I hired Paster Plumbing for all my plumbing repairs after using them for the plumbing inspection of my new house purchase. A low-flush toilet wasn't doing the job so I hired Paster to replace it with a Toto toilet. Brian Paster and his assistant showed up on time and installed it in about 2 hours. He did an amazing job, and answering any question I had in a very personable way. I also had a small leak in the area of the washer hook-ups which was very difficult to stop, so Brian agreed to come back early the next morning to rebuild the lines and install a more modern hook-up station at a very reasonable cost. I also used Paster Plumbing to install a clean-out pipe, and to snake the sewer line, and again, they were on time, did the job in an efficient, professional manner, and were personable and friendly during the process. I am very pleased with Paster Plumbing, and will use them again for any plumbing issues I have.
Description of Work: - Rebuilt washer hook-ups plumbing - Installed new toilet - Installed exterior sewer clean-out pipe and snaked the sewer line - Replaced three exterior leaking faucets

I received three phone calls back from various employees and made an appointment for 8 - 10 the following morning. Monday morning received a phone call from the office confirming the appointment. The plumber got there early into the window provided, got immediately to work, found the problem and fixed it within 20 minutes. He was gone and I was left to dry out my cabinets. I found the service to be outstanding and would absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: Found a massive leak under the kitchen sink during Christmas celebration dinner prep. Called Pastor Plumbing the next morning ... on a Sunday.

Thanksgiving Morning. The Whole Family is due for dinner and I have NO WATER, not just no hot water, NO WATER AT ALL! The plumber I had called at 9:00 PM Wednesday night when I discovered the new waterfall/swimming pool in my garage was out of town for the holiday, so I call Ed Paster & Son, hoping against hope... Within 30 minutes he was in my garage, my knight in shining armor! By noon I had a brand new water heater, and fully restored service at a price that was not jacked up because of the holiday! This team was GREAT!! Nicely dressed, clean, organized, knowledgable and fun to have in our garage on Thanksgiving morning.Bless these guys! Our Thanksgiving was a wonderful family affair and Ed Paster & Son will get our platinum and diamond rating!! They are our Plumbers for Life!!
Description of Work: Evaluate the waterfall from the top of the hot water heater and give us options that would allow us to pay the mortgage this month too. Once the options were reviewed, implement removing the old hot water heater, replace/repipe with a new one and finally dispose of the old one in the most eco friendly method. They also cleaned up the water mess on the garage floor and recommended someon to talk with about water damage, if we needed help.

I had a small hole in a 3 inch galvanize drain pipe under the kitchen sink. I called for an appointment at 8:30 am and they had an appointment for me at 11:30 am. They were right on time and immediately identified the problem. The plumber explained the solution and how he was going to repair the pipe. He spent 2.5 hours and tested the the pipe for leaks and cleaned up the work area. We were amazed at the clean up and speed of the repair. The price was fair, but was not the cheapest. Not for the budget minded. We will use them again!
Description of Work: Replaced a 12 inch section of rusted galvanized pipe behind the kitchen sink. Plumber had to access the pipe through the exterior stucco wall.

He worked for almost an hour clearing the exterior drains, made many attempts, cleared some of it, but couldn't clear it all. He stopped when I asked him to, because the drains were not a priority for me. He charged me for less work than he did, because it took longer than he expected. He did everything else he was supposed to, without any problems.
Description of Work: I had him reconnect my dishwasher and cold water to my faucet after an emergency service disconnected them. He also reinstalled my trash compacter that the emergency service had pulled out. He snaked the exterior drains, which were really backed up, due to roots.

They called the day before starting the job to confirm, and 30 mins before arriving. They came in, did what they were hired to do, and stayed until the job was done, cleaned up the mess they made, and stayed well after the sun had gone down on the last day because it just took a little longer than planned.. They were great! No complaints.
Description of Work: We had them replace the galvanized pipes that were put in the house in the 1950's with copper pipes and a tankless water heater.

Matt came out to give us an estimate for the re-pipe. He was right on time, and very professional, and cleaned up after themselves. The office staff are also extremely helpful. Matt also gave us suggestions on other things we needed done. He lives in Simi, and offered to come on his way home to put the new shower head and knobs on at no additional cost, as we had to wait until some work on the shower was done prior to replacing them. I would definitely refer them, and use them again. This company has very high standards, and it shows in their work and demeanor.
Description of Work: We inherited an older mobile home, and Paster Plumbing did a complete re-pipe for us.

They came out the first time, cleared the drain about 140 feet through. About a week later the drain backed up again and they came back out. Each time they were quick to dispatch, and spot on with their arrival times. The same plumber came out each time so we didn't have to explain the situation again to a new person. Upon the second visit they took the time to look through building plans with us and figure out where it had probably stopped up again and where the closest drain out to the sewer went. In both cases they did an excellent job making sure our computer equipment was protected during their work. They discounted the second visit because it was within 30 days of the first, which I thought was very nice. In addition to the work, they were very helpful in providing us with some ideas and things we could do to help prevent occurances like this in the future. The plumber was very helpful not only with the work that he did, but also with the time he took to make sure everything was done right and explained thoroughly.
Description of Work: The company I work for operates a multi-million dollar computer facility (datacenter) and we had a problem with one of the drains for our HVAC units. It was a fairly straight-forward rooter job and required two visits because the drain wasn't completely cleared the first time due to an issue in our building.

See the above. The service was A+ through and through.
Description of Work: Matthew was great. I had a spicket nozzle in my patio that wouldn't shut off. My plants were very happy with the amount of water they received that week. Matthew came out. Yeah. Because my piping was old, he had to go to the street area and locate the water shut off valve (which he did with a neighbor of mine). He than came back and replaced the parts with copper piping and a new nozzle. It took a couple of hours, but it was worth it. Matthew has a great personality, and was very patient with me (I asked him lots of questions). I highly recommend Paster Plumbing!!!!! I've been using their services for years. Never had a problem.

Came to snake out a clogged bathroom lavatory. Brian was prompt, professional and clean. Clearly knows what he's doing and is not interested in finding extra problems to charge you for. He did just what what needed, quickly and efficiently and took the time to look at some other work I will need to do in the future and gave me very reasonable estimates and recommendations. The last plumber I had charged nearly twice as much and didn't even complete the job properly. I highly recommend him.

They were very good. They quoted us under $100 to unclog the sink but then when he got here he couldn't fit under our sink for some reason so he had to go up on the roof and it practically doubled the price. They accomplished the job bur it seemed expensive. The service was good and they were prompt. Other than the price it was good. We would use them again depending on the price.
Description of Work: We had a couple of interactions with Ed Paster And Son Plumbing & Rooter. He did a hot water heater and he did some other work with some outside valves. We had a more recent incident with a stopped up sink.

Kitchen sink was backed up; happens every year. Unlike a previous plumber who said the cleanout was inaccessible, Beny opened it up (not easy) and snaked out the line. Beny knows his stuff and is a good guy. The day he came here, he was a little busy on his cell, arguing with a customer who was trying to negotiate a lower price. But it didn't seem to slow him down or make him less than cordial. He cleaned up the work site afterward. I would definitely use him again.

He is a great, A+ plumber. The thing that strikes me about this company is that no matter who they send to my house, they are remarkably friendly, kind, smart, and get the job done. The scheduler tells me who is coming, sometimes I know who it is and many times I don't, by the time they leave everything is fixed, everyone is happy, the house is clean, and for a plumber that is good. They are available for emergencies, which thank-goodness, I haven't had to deal with. It is a great company, and I'm very luck that I have found them. I really do like them a whole lot. They are very, very good. It is nice to have someone qualified to look things over. The cost for the one hour maintenance visit was $75-$85. They are A+ guys. I love the guys a lot.
Description of Work: I use Ed Paster and Son Plumbing and Rooter. The last time they were out, they just did general maintenance. I like to have them come out, if I don't have any problems, at least once a year, just to look around and check all the faucets and valves inside and outside the house and usually takes about an hour. It is an hour well spent because they are looking for stuff in places that I don't get to look. So, if nothing else, the maintenance is find. The last time that I had them out for service was about 7 or 8 months ago.

They did what we asked them to do. They helped with the changing of a garbage disposal. The pipe work was rotted and they made the connection so then I could then complete the job.

at first I liked these guys. they did a good job. I gave them all my expensive business and my rootering. My house has stairs to get to the house, they had no complaints on the big jobs, but one day I had a rootering emergency, called them... they refused to come up because it was too difficult with the stairs. ** I told them they suck, have no loyalty and will never use them again.

I had a water heater that died, and I didnt know all I had to do is drain the water heater into buckets. I was desperate to get ahold of someone. Ed Paster and Sons sold me a cheap water heater for a high price. I dont know that it was his fault, but he cut a big ugly cut to get the water heater out.

Everything went very smoothly, Chris showed up on time, even removed his shoes upon entering the house, which I appreciated since we just got new floors, he was polite and professional and fixed the plumbing in a timely manner. He did a good job. I've used Paster Plumbing in the past and they have been consistently good.
