Charlie was amazing! He came out on a Sunday within a few hours to help us with our new place in Normal Heights. Our inspector missed the fact that our shower spout wasn’t hooked up to shower! So now we have a shower!

Charlie was amazing he really helped explain the issue and troubleshoot the issue. He helped give me advice on how to avoid the issue in the future and you could tell he really wants to find the root cause of the issue; he doesn’t just slap a band-aid on the problem and leave it for later. Highly recommend Charlie for his plumbing services in Oak Park San Diego

Charlie was awesome - called him at 10am and had my issue fixed by 1pm. Had an issue with my pressure regulator and he got the issue with awful water pressure fixed quickly. He came out to my house in Ridgeview-Webster and knocked it out super quick while explaining the issue super clearly

Charlie was great, he charged me half of what some other plumbers were wanting to charge , which the other plumbers wanted to charge me 700. For repairing a pipe leak in the wall. He's Honest and a polite plumber in Golden Hills, San Diego.

Excellent service. Mr. Charlie did not have a part on hand, but immediately went to the hardware shop and got it. He could have made me wait until the next day to finish the job but didn’t. It’s nice to have someone with integrity. Thank you Charlie!!!
