They are the last choice- dont hire them. Ive tried to call them for 2 days and they wont answere there phone or call me back. I called 1st choice to fix the shut off valve under my kitchen sink last week.
I made an appointment for the following week (that was the earliest they could get here).
They never showed up - they didn't call me to cancel or to reschedule my appointment. WTF?????
Not very profession. My last choice and I don't think I'd call them regardless.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kristen F.Carlsbad, CA0122Oct 6, 2023
I called 1st Choice Plumbing because the former owner of our condo had left several refrigerator magnets around the house and they came highly recommended from several neighbors.
I wasn't disappointed. Michael returned my call promptly and set up an appointment for later that week.
They arrived at the appointed time and ended up solving and completing the repair within hours that day.
I'm so appréciative-very friendly, helpful service, everything was explained to me and I received an estimate prior to work done.
I wish every business was this pleasant to work with.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Linda F.Escondido, CA195Jun 15, 2023
1st Choice Plumbing was recommended to us by a friend-top notch company referral that is for sure! Such professionalism and outstanding quality of work! New water heater, drains cleared, new faucets replaced, and water pressure checked! They took time to explain the work they completed and walked through each area! So clean, neat and efficient in every way!
Highly recommend this top notch company!

I was referred to 1st Choice Plumbing through a friend and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and overall quality of service.
From start to finish, 1st Choice Plumbing exceeded my expectations in every way. When I initially contacted them about my plumbing needs, I spoke with Michael who was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the various options available to me, and ultimately helped me decide on the best course of action for my home.
When the team arrived to do the work, they were punctual, courteous, and very respectful of my property. I truly appreciated how they took the time to walk me through the process, answering any questions I had and making sure I understood exactly what was being done.
The quality of their work was exceptional, and it's clear that they take great pride in their craft. They installed new plumbing in my master bathroom, laundry room, and main line, and the difference is truly remarkable.
Overall, I cannot recommend 1st Choice Plumbing enough. They are truly experts in their field, and their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart. Thank you again 1st Choice, I'm sure I'll be calling you soon for the guest bathroom remodel!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - James F.San Diego, CA087Feb 20, 2023
Water leakI got in my bathroom. Called them and Michael responded immediately. Michael and Fredy did great job to detect the leaking place and changed the pipe. Michael and Fredy are very friendly and let you know what they will do and why do that. Call them if you need a good plumber! Thanks Michael and Fredy!

Unprofessional.
We call for an emergency service because our drain flooded behind our washing machine. Thinking that he would come in knowledgeable.
Comes in with boots all over our carpet in and out, made marks on our white walls when he was carrying stuff up the stairs.
Basically during the whole process, he has my husband help him through it all. My husband was doing his job pretty much - moving the washer and out when they told us they had their own dollys on the phone. He had my husband turn on and off the water running up and down the stairs. My husband basically was his coworker. And we knew the minimum was going to be $300 flat.
When my husband and him wiped all the water out, the last step was to have my husband turn the water on and the guy told him he doesn't have to turn it off it would be good to go. He turns it on and then the nozzle top on the pipe bursted and water went everywhere and he was yelling to turn it off. So all of that work of them cleaning up the water, back to square one. The guy told my husband he didn't know what happened and that he doesn't work with these types of pipes. And that he can come back tomorrow and try to fix it but it'd be another charge and that we would have to replace the whole thing. WE PAID $300 for half ass labor and we didn't even get it fixed. RIDICULOUS.
We ended up going with another plumber the next day. This guy WAY BETTER. Comes in with booties automatically, way more communicative and confidentially fixing the issue which he knew exactly how to fix the bursted pipe. We didn't have to replace the whole box like the other guy said, we just needed to replace this small piece that held the nozzle on the pipe.
I wish we could get our money back from this company... but it is what it is. I do not recommend this company. Not sure why they got good reviews.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jessica N.Carmel Valley, San Diego, CA321012Mar 17, 2022
Had a slab leak back in November and mike was our first responder. Took care of us in regards to helping with insurance and ensuring our house was properly done while we were away out of state. Highly recommend these guys- super professional and do a great job!

Another awesome service. This is the second time, today we found out that we have another leak, different part of our house, I called Michael at 9 am and he responded within an hour, got the pipe fix, explained to me in detail what need to be done and got his crew did the demolition. The damage was extensive but he gave us a peace of mind that it will be taken care of. They clean up everything and made sure that everything is organized and cleaned. I highly recommended this company.

Fernando took my call and answered any concern that I have and his brother Michael is the one who came. He showed up on time and found the problem right away. Made some suggestions and fix the problem with reasonable charge. Very professional and I highly recommended this company. This will definitely be the company I will used for any plumbing works. We're very happy with their work.

They were referred to me by a friend. Great referral. Excellent work. They honored the original quote and they showed up on time. Good price, great work.
I had a pin-hole leak under my house. Arturo, from 1st Choice, crawled under the house, fixed the leak, and left everything clean. He also showed me pictures of the leak. They deserve 10 stars.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
