Responsive, expert, resourceful, fair and courteous:  Gilbert is the BEST.  He has helped us on everything from a major main-drain excavation and replacement to a small water pressure issue.  Stop searching and just call him!

This is a plumbing and drain business that is in the upper tier for honesty, quality and value!  Gilbert diagnosed my drain problem over the phone and gave me a flat fee bid that he stuck to, even though the job took quite awhile.  The minute you speak to him or meet him in person, you’ll be convinced of his honesty and strict adherence to common business ethics—he returns your call promptly, answers questions to the best of his ability, comes out to the house the same day (in my case), and charges a FAIR price for the work done.  There is no  up-sell here.  After several open-ended and very high quotes from the usual franchises, I was pleased to find Senor Rooter, where you can get the job done quickly without getting “gouged”. Gilbert has all the latest equipment for clearing your drain, including a drain camera and electric rooter.  His plumbing expertise comes from a construction background where only permitted work is done.  His knowledge of how your house drains are constructed is so useful, and I wasn’t worried that any damage would occur.  He finished the job with all my drains running as good as new.  I’m going to call Gilbert for all my future plumbing repairs—he’s one in a million!!

In the end of the afternoon of the 30th of December, water started backing up the toilets and bathtubs at our house. I found Gilbert, the “Senor Rooter” on Craigslist, and he was able to pass by in the evening the check what the problem was. Using his camera, we could see that our sewer line was broken under the house, this was not going to be just a simple rooter job. We ended up replacing the whole pipe, which was a serious effort because our house is on a concrete slab. That meant digging through the concrete, removing a cubic yard of dirt to get to the pipe, pulling a new pipe through the old one (a pretty neat technology, I’d post pictures if I knew how to do this here), filling the hole and even cleaning up the mess in the living room. Gilbert and his team did that in a single day. I also greatly appreciated that he stuck to the price we discussed upfront, a very reasonable one in my opinion. So overall, I feel lucky that I found Gilbert at that time of the year and I highly recommend him!

Senor Rooter did a great job at our place. We remodeled 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, and added multIple gas lines for bbq and complex kitchen stove. Gilbert’s final price was exactly consistent with the original quote and was very reasonable. He was also very responsive when we had urgent work we needed done and even worked late multiple times to ensure our house was ready for a party the next day. I highly recommend Senor Rooter!

Gilbert and his team are truly the best in the business. My husband and I renovated a home in the Bay Area this summer/fall, and decided we were going to be the general contractors of our project to attempt to save time and money. We were recommended to Senor Rooter and Gilbert by another one of our trusted subcontractors and I am so thankful we chose to work with him. Gilbert helped us make all of our seemingly complicated designs for our kitchen and three full bathrooms come to life and was there every step of the way to ensure we knew what materials we needed to make it happen. Our master bathroom was the project I was most impressed with as the installation of a free standing tub, custom wall mount faucet, and dual shower heads, seemed intimidating from a construction perspective. Gilbert guided us on the appropriate elements we needed to do to maintain/comply with California code from the existing home. He helped us to ensure we had all of the necessary sub work completed (even when we needed to bring in other subs) before he and his team completed the project. Gilbert also completed all of our kitchen remodel including multiple sinks and new gas lines for our ovens and island Viking range. Gilbert and team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and kind, which is why he has a thriving business and why I will hands down recommend Senor Rooting to anyone I know who is planning a renovation project. Thank you Gilbert! We love our new home!
