I always like to do a quick review and a long one with more details. Quick version: Al is great. he does good work for a good price and doesn't take the easy or lazy way on a job. He offers competitive rates, ESPECIALLY given that he offers a GUARANTEE that he will come back to perform maintenance annually AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. See pics to show his work on our water heater. He even called a few days later to make sure everything was ok. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. TLDR version I met Al outside of Lowe's when he was fighting to get a, I guess, 125 lb water heater into his van all by himself. As a firm believer in common decency (unfortunately an oxymoron in these modern times) and the"karma credit club," I offered to help him. All I did is hold a cart still but it was the help Al needed to get the tank onto his vehicle easily. Before I walked away he said "Take a picture of my shirt. That's my business name and phone number. Call me if you ever need a plumber." Well, jump forward a few months and our water heater conked out on us. I spent THREE DAYS trying to get a plumber out to do the job. I guess anyone with a pulse has more business than they know what to do with bc many vendors were unreliable and or unresponsive. They did not care that we have kids and need to be able to take showers. It was so frustrating!! This is when I remembered Al. I called him up and long story short, within 24 hours, we had a new water heater installed. Al's prices were reasonable, especially given that he replaced EVERYTHING except for the pan (there is/was nothing wrong with it) and the electrical connection (bc that should be done by an electrician, and again it was fine) and he offers an annual maintenance flush (annually maintained water heater will live 2x as long) for NO ADDITIONAL COST. He also works CLEANLY. I am so sick of cleaning up after construction vendors!!! I have remodeled many homes back in my native CA and this is far from the 1st time I have had to replace a water heater. Plumbers can be lazy and or cheap and not replace things like pipes or hot/cold connections. Not only do they get in and out faster but they also can create a job for them to do down the line if the connection(s) gets corroded or lose. Al replace these for me and I did not specifically ask him to do so. Definitely recommend him for your next plumbing issue and or project. read more

John Williams of Al's Plumbing was a terrible experience for me . He took a large deposit and then he didn't show up for quite awhile. I called him numerous times and very rarely did he answer the phone. When he did answer he said he would come to do the work and not show up. He has a very nice personality which makes it very dangerous to deal with him. I feel it is my duty to warn others about him! read more

I've been reaching out to John, the owner of Al's Boca Plumbing for 6 months! NO RESPONSE! He installed a water heater and I've had scalding water in my main bathroom and shower. This man has terrible customer service. Don't use him! Unreliable!!!!!!! read more

I hate having to do this to any business but I guess 4 th time must be unlikely. We initially bought a new dishwasher from Best Buy and their installers found a leak under our sink and also could not install our dishwasher as our tiled floor had made it hard to install. I called Al's Plumbing who came to the house and assessed everything and gave me an estimate of $900 half of which he wanted up front by check which I paid him immediately as I had used him previously and found him reliable. He asked me if I wanted it covered under my homeowner's insurance policy and I said no. We set up a date for Monday and he called me stating he had a problem elsewhere so he canceled on me and came the following day oomph time. He did a good job with my leak under the sink, however he and his fellow workers had a difficult time putting in the new dishwasher. He then told me he would have to lift my granite counter to place it in and that it may crack. My response was you are the professionals and you figure out how to do it! In short the Dishwasher front was buckled and the Granite counter top was cracked (which I noticed after he left). I have called Al 4 times the last time he finally answered my calls and I asked him to come by the house and see the problem. Today its been over 4 week and no sign of Al's Plumbing!! I must say I am very disappointed by the way Al's Plumbing has responded to an old customer of his this time! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED and will never use him again! read more

I am in Delray Beach FL. I have used Al's Boca Plumbing for several years with no issues. So when i needed a new valve installed i called Al {John Williams" to repair it, I gave him a $400 check on January 2nd and he told me he had to order the part. every week he gave me another reason that he could not come he was in a few big jobs. Then he stopped answering the calls. it is February 17th and I told him to refund the money and I have someone else to do the repair. I have given him every chance to say he can't do it, but no phone calls or texts. Time to report him to the DBPR. Don't trust this guy. read more

I used Al several times. Last January 2 he took a $400 deposit to order a part. I have tried to reach him many times. He promised several times to come and fix the issue. After several weeks I had someone else repair it. I told him to refund me the $400 he said he would deduct $75 for the call. I have yet to see a penny. My opinion of him has changed he's a crook never refunded me the $325. read more

By far the best service, expertise, quality, price and HONESTY- something you don't get these days. Skilled and takes care of his customers. We are so grateful for your help in our homes of the past, present and how you took/take care of our dad to ensure his home is SAFE and working properly. We look forward to many years of continued service!! read more

I was having an issue with hot water. Long story short, he miss diagnosed the problem. I paid him in full, with the expectation he would come back and fix the problem. He went radio silent, and he's not return phone calls, nor texts. I would not use him whatsoever. read more

If I could give a negative - star rating I would do it. My brother requested plumbing repairs for his kitchen Fossetts. He didn't show up as promised and Never Called !!!! Can't recommend . read more

Caveat Emptor(Buyer Beware). Al' Boca Plumbing, John Williams, was a disaster. We paid him the full amount & he failed to provide us with a paid statement of his work, return & correct the continuing problems & defects with the work he did although he promised to do so. Additionally, he avoided returning calls until I called from a different number & then gave excuses for his lack of response & promised to call & set up an appointment on a date certain & again failed to call back. SEE OTHERS REVIEWS WHERE HE DID THE SAME. DO NOT USE HIS SERVICES UNLESS YOU WANT TO SUFFER THE SAME CONSEQUENCES. read more

another disappointing experience with this so-called plumber. It's amazing he can even stay in business the way he treats his customers. I recommend that you use someone who actually cares about his customers. Shameful and he is shameless and uncaring. read more

This man totally took advantage of the situation. Gouged me pricewise pipes cut in the wrong place no receipts stood me up over a half a dozen times. Never returned despite constant calls and messages. promised information to work with insurance and never provided it. If I could give -4 stars I would never use this man. I needed a second plumber to fix all his mistakes read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! We never received the service we payed for! He was supposed to come back but never answered or picked up the phone! Stay away! read more

I needed a new water heater. The water pressure in my house was very low. Al came and he quoted his price. I thought it was fair. We hired him and he came back the next day to do the job. I needed him to come back because I wanted the water to be set hotter. He came back the next day with no problem. Al was very nice and I would definitely use him again. Susan S read more

About three years ago I had a water heater installed by Al's Boca Plumbing. Since my experience with the company was very good, when I needed a kitchen faucet installed I didn't hesitate to call the company again. I spoke to John Williams of Al's Boca plumbing yesterday and he arrived today to install the faucet. He also replaced the valves in the cabinet to the faucet, the dish washer and the refrigerator as they were leaking. I found his work to be professional and reasonably priced. In the future I would not hesitate to call again if the need arises. I highly recommend using Al's Boca plumbing's services. read more

Hate to leave a negative review as most of my reviews are positive but bad experience here; called Wednesday evening (admittedly it was late) and the owner was out at dinner - no problem at all - and said he'll call me back after dinner to schedule. No call. Not a big deal at all, so I called at 9 am Thursday morning and was then told he'd come to my place at 4:30 the same day. On his word, I left work early and rushed home (an hour drive) and he was a no show. I called and he said he go stuck on another job. With just basic communication this would've been no problem, but instead of calling and letting me know this, there was no phone call and I assume if I didn't call him, I would've been left wondering what happened. Zero communication or appreciation for others' time read more

In August 2020, a plumber from this company came and did some work in my house, Including making a repair to a leaky faucet. I discovered later in the day that the faucet was still leaking. When I called, the plumber said he needed to get a different cartridge. 7 weeks later, I am still waiting. I've called probably 10 times. Each time I am told the plumber isn't feeling well or is understaffed, and that he will call me back, which he never does. I am resigned to the fact that I will need to call a different plumber to get this fixed. read more

Most reliable plumbing service in the Palm Beach County . Came to my home for an emergency and got the job done with a fair price! Very professional and reliable HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Al's Boca Plumbing is a 5-star experience. The owner, John, quoted me HUNDREDS less then another quote I got and he came out that day to take a look. My hot water heater was under warranty so he removed the sticker and got my replacement water heater the same day and installed the next - on a Saturday! His employees were professional, courteous and clean. With their installation you get a free maintenance service every year as well! Since then I got a quote for a dishwasher installation, again it was less then the store selling me the unit quoted. Al's Boca Plumbing is a class act - all the way around. read more
