Highly recommend this company! Our water heater went out around 3:30pm on a Saturday. We called Buddy Plumbing and they answered right away and had someone on their way in minutes. Robert came out and fixed the issue and we had our water heater working by 7pm. He was AMAZING! I couldn’t have ask for better service and a better outcome!

Carlos came, replaced the failed garbage disposal unit, installed my new kitchen faucet and left with everything in ship shape. The office contact was friendly and helpful. I hope it’s a while before we need another plumping service, but if needed, we would call Buddy’s again.
Great service. As a general contractor, I need a quick total replacing under a kitchen sink that had previously caused a leak and Carlos did a perfect job as well as three angle stops in the powder room. Mori was very kind and got back to me asap.
Quick & professional
Fast and efficient
Highly recommend Buddy Plumbing! They were professional, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. They explained everything clearly, showed up on time, and did quality work. The install was clean and efficient, and they made the whole process stress-free. It’s hard to find honest, reliable service these days, but Buddy Plumbing definitely delivered. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone needing plumbing work!
Our Buddy Plumbing experience went as smooth as could be expected for a Saturday night leak in the ceiling above the bed! Carlos was at the house super fast with a smile and got us up and running again. Thank you!
