Jose, Isaak, Bryant, and Daniel were extremely professional. They all worked hard with friendly attitudes. Communication was excellent. They worked clean and efficient. The clean up afterwards was impressive. They left the job site (my house) better than they found it. After a long hard day of working on my plumbing issues all of them were still joyful and professional. Five hundred stars from this satisfied home owner.

I had an emergency that day and they came on time, Jose my technician was very professional and friendly.
The only thing is that the price was a little bit high for my budget. But the quality of work was impeccable.
I was able to speak yo a real person all the time when I booked the appointment and not to AI person.
I rather give business to a family shop than a big corporation.
I would recommend Padilla plumbing to my family and friends.

Needed a new disposal, as the old one broke.

Technician shows up. Hes clean, knowledgeable, professional, and showed up the same day I called.

Then I got quoted about $1000.

To install a disposal.

So I did it myself. Cost me $220 or so.

Even if you cant do this by yourself, installation of a disposal should run a max of $200. It took me about 2 hours, and Ive never done it before, but if you can put together legos you should be fine. For them to charge that is price gouging.

Why not charge a bajillion dollars at this point? Would have had the same result.

Our tech Humberto Royal was extremely professional. He arrived on time- in the rain- took every precaution to not track mud inside. He took care of our clogged drainage system in minimal time& explained all work preformed. Very pleasant experience.
