Description of Work: For several years, I didn't use the second sink in my master bathroom because I thought there was a leak. Rafi said there was no leak and explained why I might have thought there was. He replaced washers in two faucets and that was all. He checked out my garbage disposal and explained some things about it. Rafi arrived on time for our appointment and was very warm, genuine, friendly, and professional. I will use his services again if I need a plumber.

Description of Work: I have a home with a basement where the main sewer line is visible and accessible. The sewer line was blocked and our regular plumber partially cleared the line with the 'snake' bring back a pile of roots. In addition there was no access to place hydrojet as my home is older and further the iron main sewer was showing leaking and rust crusts. I sought quotes from three plumbing contractors two of which recommended the same approach to dealing with my sewer line problems. I chose California Green Plumbing because of the excellent personal interactions with Raffi, the owner and also because his quote was substantialy lower that the second quote. The work was done on the date that was arranged, taking one and a half days to replace the sewer line. The same day his men were through replacing the sewer line, Raffi inserted his sewer camera and showed me there were two sets of roots about 9 feet apartthat were blocking the line. His contractor came on the date promised to insert the hydrojet, but ran into a problem as a valve malfunctioned resulting in flooding of my basement. The two contractors immediately called Raffi and immediately set about cleaning up the mess which they did rapidly and successfully. Raffi arrived,determined that the valve had malfunctioned, blocked the valve and the hydrojetting was completed with the clearance of all roots in only a few minutes. Raffi then repaired the valve, and helped me clean up. All this was done pleasantly, efficiently. This was a problematic situation, much work needed to be done and was completed as promised. Totally superior work conduct and amplified by the approach and successful handling an unexpected serious problem. Raffi and his men earned and deserved the highest rating.

Description of Work: I called Raffi last week regarding a broken pipe under my house near the backyard. it was about 2 feet from the outside of the house and was the drain from the clothes washer. He came out while I was at work and my roommates showed him the spot. He called me later and gave me a quote of 450.00. I assumed that price was for a few hours. the work was done yesterday and was at my house for about 30 minutes. That is like $15.00 a minute. I contacted him regarding this and his response and he said that was the cost because he replaced a couple of pipes and fittings. In 30 minutes? seriously? He also said that they have a minimum charge of $300.00 for working under a house. The information was never given to me at any time. he said the reason he finished the job so fast was because he had previously seen the job and knew that to do and bring. That information was never given to me until after the work was completed. I chose him because of the reviews you had of him. I have no problem paying for a job when all the information is given up front. if he knew how much it was going to cost and how long it would take, that information should have been shared with me before the job. I am disappointed that he feels justified in what he did and the response he gave after the job. too bad... If you hire this man, get all this information up front so you can make a wiser choice.

Response from Hard Hat Rooter & Plumbing
I do apologize to you feeling that way but you had one week to decide which plumber to choose and I'm sure you had different estimate from other plumbers which was much higher than mine so that's why you decided go with us. If the job would have taken 5 hours you were going to tell me too bad you gave me a estimate of $450. Our trucks are very well equipped with all the material that we need to do work that is why we have all the material on the truck and yes we did see the job previously so we knew exactly what to bring with us

Description of Work: Everything was fine. The plumber came right on time. He diagnosed the problem immediately and it took him 5-10 minutes to complete the repair. he cleaned up after himself. I have had no problems since then.

Raffi responded by phone very quickly and knew exactly the kind of product I needed. His quote over the phone did increase after visiting the site, but that is to be expected. He installed the pump within days and even got me an electrician to come over and move the electrical socket underneath the cabinet. He called a few days after to installation to make sure everything was working well. I was very pleased with the experience and will call him for all my future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Installed a hot water pump with a timer on a tankless hot water heater that doesn't have a return.

Great! on both counts. Including his first visit, that's on all three counts. Highly recommend CalGreen Plumbing. I'd certainly use him again when the need arises.
Description of Work: Repair piping under kitchen sink; install new toilet (including toilet $). On his first visit to the house to install a faucet, Raffi asked if we had a problem with water not draining from the dual kitchen sinks. When I told him yes, he explained what was wrong and what would be involved in repairing it. He gave me an estimate and we did the work a week later. All according to plan and price. The sink drains well from both sides. That was ~$180. While at the house, I suggested we might want to change out the toilet in the washroom because of a leak underneath. I'd been looking online for the parts and knew the model we wanted. About a week later, he called to ask if we were interested in still changing it out because he'd noticed that his supplier had just put the model on sale (much less than the online price i was happy with, I might add). So, a couple days later, he came by as scheduled with the proper toilet and swapped them out for us. Again, on schedule and budget.

Even though I live in Glendale, the main gas line doesn't require an earthquake valve. After the earthquake my friend told me that it's the best investment you can make on your house, so I called California green plumbing to come out and install an earthquake valve. It took him about 1 hour to install the valve. After he was done I felt much better knowing that in case an earthquake my house my be saved from a FIRE!!!

They were very punctual and professional. They did a great job and were very helpful as far as explaining everything in detail on how the earthquake valve functions. The technician noticed that my water heater did not have the proper strap.He emphasized the importance of having the right strap and recommended us to install the approved water heater strap. We agreed and were very pleased with the overall experience. California Green plumbing has an excellent service and I highly recommend them for any kind of plumbing projects.

Went great. Knew exactly what was wrong as soon as I got on the phone, explaining that I had tried to install it myself and everything was going well until it came time to connect the water lines. Anyway, Raffi was very friendly and professional. He even asked if we ever had any problems with our double sinks draining. I said yes, and he pointed out the causes of that and what it would take to fix the problem.
Description of Work: Installed a euro-spec kitchen faucet. This meant having to adapt the supply line size from standard US to metric.

He explained everything to me on why it happened.
Description of Work: He said he would get to my apartment at 7:00 am in the morning, he knocked my door at 6:55 right on time, because i had to go to work that morning. Then he gave me an estimate that was much less then the plumber that came to my apartment the night before. He cleared the main drain did an excellent work then he recommended me to hydro jet the drain so it would not backup as often as it has.
