I had a leak under my kitchen sink. The entire bottom was soaked. When the plumber from Big John's came out, he said he could not find the source and that maybe I spilled something. They charged me $125 and left. 2 days later, I found the source. I messaged them to come back and fix it and I was ignored, so I had to call another plumber...and by this time, the wood was rotted that I had to pay to get that fixed as well. I messaged Big John's again to let them know I had to hire someone else and that I deserve my money back. Unfortunately, they felt they should keep my money for

Had a plumbing leak as I was leaving town. My regular service company was unavailable. Big John's Got plumber scheduled same day that I called. I Texted photos of situation to Big John himself, and got an eye popping quote. I Was desperate, and so I swallowed hard and said "OK." Ramon showed up and determined that leak could be fixed without going underground and quoted me a number that as literally one-fourth the original quote. He then got it done quickly and professionally, even wrapping the exposed pipes to protect against future corrosion. I am extremely happy and will

I can not thank your company enough for the excellent service we received today. When a previously scheduled plumber (another company) fell through at the last minute, I called Big John's Plumbing. I can't tell you why I didn't call them in the first place...old age maybe? Lol. Anyhow, the big issue for us is that our daughter is severely immune-compromised and we needed a technician who was fully vaccinated and willing to wear a mask, booties and gloves during the service. Not only did Ramon arrive promptly, he came with all the necessary precautions. He even changed to a fresh

Had a new faucet installed. The man that came was very nice and courteous. Wore his mask the entire time and even gave me an estimate for additional work free of charge. Would definitely recommend this company especially since many other plumbers I contacted were booked far out.

I called four other plumbers around the 92506 area and Big John had the BEST price for a faucett replacement. In addition, they give a 10% discount for new customers. Adrian, the servicing technician arrived on time, provided great service and was quite professional. Outstanding service, thank you!

To all my veteran friends if you need plumbing done look no further than Big John's Plumbing. How about having someone who is honest and friendly . Big John came out Saturday night and fixed my plugged kitchen sink . I have had several companies come out and tell me it will cost 1k to power flush my lines. They were liars and wanted to just make money. I have never met a plumber who was honest until I called big John's Plumbing. Plus his son was so nice and very smart. If you ever need plumbing done call Big John's Plumbing.
