Two bathroom sinks clogged. They were cleared successfully. Willem was thorough, knowledgable, and friendly. He did a good job. The price seems very high, but I am satisfied it is in line with industry standards.

It was ok. The guys were prompt and the work appears well done. I called asking about the shelf removed from my cabinet (built in shelf) and heard nothing back.

Zach did a fantastic job fixing our leaky shower head! Even when the initial replacement part was faulty, he swapped it out a second time with zero extra cost. The final bill was even lower than his initial (and already reasonable) estimate. Honest, reliable, and excellent service! Thanks, Zach!

Review from Google · view on GoogleIt was ok. The guys were prompt and the work appears well done. I called asking about the shelf removed from my cabinet (built in shelf) and heard nothing back. It clearly had to be cut out in pieces, but it would still provide a template for making a new one. I asked for the pieces of replaced piping to be left or to have pictures, so I could see the condition, and they were not. I did get a picture showing the clog, but the clog would have been a few hundred. The repair I opted for was 2800+. I really wanted to see what the extra 2500 was supposed to save me from. TLDR: Kevin (and I forget the other guys name) did quick, clean work. Details not related to the actual plumbing are my only complaints.

Review from Google · view on GoogleI’ve used this company previously for other site work for drainage. I recently discovered I had a leak in main water line to house. They were able to give me. Good better best options and break down what would be done alone w numbers. The work was performed as stated and in a timely manner. Thanks to Johnny for the on site estimate and to Calvin and JL for the thorough job performed.

Review from Google · view on GoogleBrian Ramirez from Price Busters was excellent! After coming out on short notice, he did a great job of communicating his recommendations as to how to fix a clogged drain. We didn't listen and continued to try to no avail, but Brian happily listened to and did what we asked. We then followed his recommendation and he quickly fixed the issue! I will definitely turn to Brian for future plumbing needs.

Review from Google · view on GoogleWe had a pinhole in a pipe in our crawlspace. Kevin and Jesus came out within a few hours, diagnosed the leak and gave me an estimate and time of repairs. The repairs were done within the timeline they provided and the estimate was the price I was quoted. Overall it was a good experience, which was relieving given the stress of the situation. They've earned my repeat business and I'd feel comfortable recommending them to others.
