Have used Paul and his crew for a number of years. Always fast and reliable service, plus great ongoing communication throughout the process. High integrity people and fair prices.
Full-service plumber, knowledgeable, courteous. I really appreciated that they took a lot of care to keep everything clean (which is hard with plumbing!). Definitely recommend.
Paul and Whistle Plumbing are always professional and talk us through any plumbing issue we have. They are prompt and great at their craft. These guys are the best
Paul Guitierrez was very professional. He showed up on time for the estimate. He gave a thorough explanation of what needed to be done to install the automatic water shut-off valve required by our home insurance. On the day of the service, Paul again showed up on the earlier side of the 2-hour time frame, and…
Paul is always great! If you are a female who doesn’t want to be taken advantage of, call Whistle plumbing! Reasonable costs, a discount for being a loyal customer, always a clear explanation and honest answers.
Paul has replaced our water heater, cleared pipes, and diagnosed failure in our outdoor irrigation. They are responsive and courteous. Highly recommend.
Prompt and professional, good organized work done in a timely fashion with an eye for detail and good value for the money
I am so glad I called Paul and Whistle plumbing. My kitchen sink and bathroom sink had been clogged for about 2 months and they were the only ones that were able to resolve it. I had already had ben franklin, roto rooter, and other rooter solutions come to my house and attempt to fix without any results. The those…
Paul and his team are a group of good guys. Diligent in their work and caring. We had some bad plumbing work done by another contractor and Paul and his team fixed it all. Thanks, Paul!
We have used Whistle Plumbing several times over the years. Paul is always helpful. Went on line last night, was able to pick a convenient time slot. This morning, crew arrived promptly & gave me a free estimate. Also a senior discount. Used shoe protectors, when finished, Sugi and son Lome left everything nice & clean. Quick flowing drain now!
Paul and his team at Whistle Plumbing are very helpful and thorough. They responded quick to my call and made it out to check the problem within 24 hours. They have great customer service with being prompt, on time, and fixing the problem quickly. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a plumbing company.
My kitchen sink seriously backed up the middle of the night on a holiday weekend, no less! Thank goodness Paul was available the next day to clear the blockage and save the day! Paul was friendly, fair and very professional. I highly recommend him and his plumbing company!
I am very happy to meet Paul and know about Whistle Plumbing. Paul and Jesus arrived, fixed the problems, cleaned up, educated me about what happened and the cost was very reasonable, I thought. The bathtub was plugged up and the washing machine would overflow each time it drained unless I stood over it. Everything…
Paul and his crew are terrific. First class work. They stand behind their work. They keep things clean. And they're nice guys. They solve problems others can't .
Arrived on time. Very professional, thorough and courteous!
Nice job done in a timing manner as well as reasonable price. Thanks Robert also Jose for taking care of two clogged pipes. Highly recommend.
Paul was a super nice guy and very professional! He knew exactly what to do and was in and out in a flash! I recommend whistle plumping 100 percent! I will definitely use them in the future for any of my plumbing problems!
Nothing special, they showed up on time did their job gave me the bill and left. Perfect. Have a little puzzled at a $291 bill for about 20 minutes of work. The toilet was already unplugged, bowl was clean All they had to do was snake it run it down about 10 ft done and done. God forbid it needed anymore I'd probably have to mortgage the house.
Highly recommended this company!!
Whistle Plumbing has many years in their craft. They get the job done fast with quality work and plumbing replacements.
I have been using Whistle Plumbing for quite some time now. They are always professional and on time. They are honest and knowledgeable of the work that needs to be done and only recommends the work that is needed. They were very courteous on cleaning their workspace and being in our private space. They cleaned up…
Wonderful team. Great communication, fast response. Fixed the problem!
Sugi and Lome were: friendly, on time and professional. Very easy to communicate with and showed that they cared about their work. I would recommend them and Whistle Plumbing to anyone and everyone.
Nothing like walking into your bedroom (in the dark) on a Saturday night after a leisurely dinner on a long holiday weekend and finding your self not walking on water but very definitely in it needless to say it was a very unwelcome surprise. Fortunately Paul from Whistler Plumbing came to our Rescue promptly the…
A note to you who are looking to hire a plumber: before any work is done, insist that they inform you of the cost of each line item performed. The key word is BEFORE! If you do that, there will be no surprises and you will be happy with the work of Whistle Plumbing. Everyone was very polite, professional and did an excellent job. I would hire them again.
They were professional and very creative. They were able to unclog my 70 year old original Westlake home pipes in the basement without a problem. I will definitely recommend them to my neighbors.
Paul is a very nice guy, we were looking to find a good plumber since the chaps we used to hire retired. I think we found our guy! Thanks Paul and team.
Paul is very knowledgeable and honest about their work and what repairs needed to be done. Him and his crew were able to clear the main sewer drain and remove a broken snake from the pipe. I would recommend him 100 times over again and will definitely be calling them back for future repairs.
I have been a customer of Whistle Plumbing for almost 20years. Paul, Tanu, Sam and their crew are knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, spotless and all around awesome. My requests for service are always resonded to quickly. I called with an emergency on a Friday night, Paul called back, talked me through…
Made the call 📞 for clogged drain, spoke to Paul, scheduled me for the appointment, the crew arrived on the day, and resolved my problem. A professional bunch and extremely friendly. Will be using them if any other problems arise in the future.😊👍🏽
Whistle Plumbing was so quick to respond. They came and explained everything they were going to do and the cost before they did it. They were so nice and friendly. Definitely would use them again.
Second time using this service, arrived on time and were quick to resolve the issue.
Very good plumber
I am beyond happy with the quality of service and customer care that this business has shown me. Ian is attentive to detail, friendly, honest and does good quality work. I am more than confident that others would appreciate his work. I highly recommend this company to assist you with your plumbing needs, issues and questions.
I have my great review to your company especially to Paul & staff in yelp. Please check it. Thank you very much. Indeed we really valued your service. You're one of a million! Keep up the good work!!!
I've used Whistle Plumbing 3 times over the past few years -- they've always been very helpful and prompt.
Paul was fantastic. I had a Major Sewer Clog in the basement drain which caused a small flood in the garage and my alleyway. I’m a RE broker, and this house was coming on for sale and it was very stressful on photograohy day to see a pool of water in the basement. They tried to accommodate me in every way, even…
Great experience replacing our water pipes. Very responsive and professional. Definitely would recommend.
I can always count on Whistle Plumbing. Most plumbing issues require urgent attention as did mine. I called to schedule an appointment. They arrived a few hours ahead of time. Not only did they solve my problem, they left their work area spotless.
