Less than 20 mins fixing, they were asking $525. All he did was to blew compressed air through inlet and outlets. That’s it!
Everyone from my neighbors told me it was too much! $180-$280 would be enough including inspection.

I had a frustrating experience with Hometown Plumbing, specifically with a plumber named Steven. I was quoted $425 to fix a toilet, which I accepted. But once Steven arrived, he said that due to a leak, he required an additional $125. When I told him that seemed too high, he offered to do it for $50 extra in cash, which felt sketchy and unprofessional right off the bat.
His attitude was rude and dismissive throughout the visit. He walked upstairs on my carpet without using shoe covers, which is basic courtesy in any home service job. And unbelievably, he used my toilet during the job without asking for permission, extremely inappropriate.
Steven replaced a few parts and told me the job was done, but the leak was still there. When I pointed it out, he told me I’d need to call another plumber because another part wasn’t included in the estimate — even though the original quote was supposed to cover fixing the toilet. He still charged me the full $425.
In the end, after some back and forth, he was able to fix the issue — but it was clear he lacked the knowledge and experience to handle the job confidently or professionally. I won’t be calling Hometown Plumbing again, and I’d recommend others look elsewhere for reliable, skilled service.
So incredibly grateful for the service we received! We heard back quickly from Saul, who was incredibly professional and understanding of our need to have this job (leaky faucet replaced at my mom’s!) taken care of same day! He stayed in communication as to when he would be available, arrived when he said, and then was able to take care of the problem and made my mom feel comfortable and confident in the work done! Thanks Saul! Thanks Hometown!
This company didn’t come to my house but I’m going to give them a 5 star review because the person who helped me over the phone answered my questions and helped me resolve the issue on my own, without the need to provide a service. I think that speaks to the integrity of a company over their interest in just making money. Thank you hometown plumbing.
Honest and reputable company and crew. I highly recommend Hometown plumbing
Called for a plumber. They informed me that the leak detection over the phone would be free and would only charge me if repairs would to be made. The technician came out and told me $350 to check for a leak on the house. Keep searching for a honest up front plumber because they are not it. Definitely talk the talk but when they show up they going to rip you off.
Quoted me $525 for a 20 min job. Told me it was flat rate pricing and not by the hour. Plumber was clearly lying to me as I had another job done by them for $60 in the past. Company must not want work.
Amazing job
David Martinez is the GREATEST! Not only did he fix my kitchens super bad leak but he also SAVED me from me from being cornered by another company that was trying to trick me .
This company sucks. They sent a representative Nathan out who did a horrible job he kept leaving and coming back saying he had to go back to Home Depot just to swap out a garbage disposal and in the end nothing worked. I paid $790..to him. Wow!! on the promise of his return which he never did. Him and the company just kept making excuses and putting me off. Never use this company!!
