My husband and I are retirees living in a condo in Honolulu. When our toilet was unable to flush,…read morewe didn't know who to call since our favorite longtime plumbing company was no longer in business. Then we remembered seeing 535 Plumbing trucks often parked downstairs and at other buildings nearby, and gave them a call. They asked my husband for some photos, gave him an estimate, and sent someone over that afternoon. The plumber was running late but kept us informed about when he would be arriving. Once he got here, he was very courteous, professional, and did what he had to do. He answered our questions clearly in layman's terms for us to understand. A second plumber stopped by briefly to help him. We paid what was originally quoted to us. We were very satisfied with the quality of work done and now have a new favorite go-to plumbing company to call on!

We messaged 535 Plumbing here on Yelp about the broken handle on our main water shutoff valve, a…read morevalve their company installed about six years ago. We sent a photo and were quoted $299 for a handle replacement, in writing and by voicemail. They scheduled the appointment and arranged for the Board of Water Supply to shut off our water. Two techs showed up. One looked at the valve without digging it out. The other, who hadn't even talked to the first tech, went straight to quoting my husband $1,500 to replace the whole valve. When my husband asked why the price jumped, he wouldn't explain. When my husband brought up the $299 quote, the tech became hostile, yelled profanity at him, and vaped on our property. I called the office, and they confirmed the $299 handle quote. After the techs left, the one who had looked at the valve called and told us they don't do handle replacements, and that our water couldn't be turned back on until we agreed to replace the valve, even though no one had touched it. He offered a "discount" on the valve job. He came back later and said he wasn't sure how the original installers had done the job, even though it was his own company's work. He never gave a reason the handle couldn't be replaced beyond "we don't do that." A manager then showed up, said they'd turn the water back on and that we should find someone else to fix it, and left without explaining anything. We weren't charged, but we lost a morning without water and still have a broken valve. Between the bait-and-switch feel of the quote, the refusal to explain, and the way my husband was treated, we won't be using 535 Plumbing again. If you hire them, get the scope and price in writing, and don't expect them to honor it

Last night the pipe under my kitchen faucet burst and water started gushing out at a phenomenal…read morerate. I couldn't even figure out how to stop the water from coming out and within minutes water was pouring down the stairs and leaking into the floors below the kitchen. After calling everyone I could think of, including the board of water supply, with no one providing any help, I typed in "plumbers" into Yelp and started cold calling down the list. First Class Plumbing was the third company listed but the first one that seemed to care. I was warned that I was calling after hours so I'd have an emergency fee if I wanted service now... I joked "fine - this is an emergency" and was told I'd get a call back as soon as they could get ahold of one of their plumbers. I went back to trying to heave buckets of water into a nearby sink and received a call back 15 minutes later. The plumber was so calm, and after hearing that I was still dealing with gushing water, explained to me how to stop the water flow. He asked me to send him pictures of the burst pipe and the faucet and got off the phone to price everything out including replacing the pipes and faucet. After doing all that work he told me what the cost would be and then said it was no worries if given the price I didn't want to continue on - or at least wait until it wasn't an emergency (an extra $150 charge). I said I definitely wanted the service and he came right out and fixed the burst pipe. I would already have been raving about this place for their competent service if it had been a normal scheduled appointment. But the fact that this company and the plumber were there for me when no one else was, and went above and beyond walk me through how to stop the problems and extremely quickly look into part costs for me before I ever even agreed to the service has made me a loyal customer forever!

I spoke with Ana and explained my plumbing issue, then emailed her a photo of the problem area. She quickly identified that it involved replacing my PRV, isolation valve, and irrigation valve.

Whitley arrived on time, was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to talk to. It was fun chatting football with him -- he comes from an impressive football family! His dad, Vili, was the University of Hawai'i football team's official Warrior mascot during the Colt Brennan era. Highly recommend this company for their fair pricing, excellent communication, and top-notch workmanship.

He was prompt, professional, and very organized throughout the entire process. I also appreciated that he took the time to spot-check my water heater and share helpful maintenance insight without any pressure. I've added JGR Plumbing to my go-to list and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, honest plumbing work.

We immediately let our landlord know and they gave me this number to call and make an appointment. So I called the next morning at 9:30 am and Louise answered! I told her my water heater only has cold water and no more hot water. She said that Martin could come to me same day to look at it. She needed to speak to my landlord first before going thru with the job. When she called me back at 10:15am, she said that she's guessing the eta would be around 1-2pm or 1-3pm as they were currently on a job in Kapolei and would call me back with a definite eta. We were waiting until I called Louise back at 2:30pm if she had an eta but no answer... Christopher, the son, he called me 5 minutes later saying they just finished in Kapolei and they still needed to get the water heater before coming to us. So we asked to reschedule for the next day in the morning. Next day, they arrived at 8:40am. They quoted me an estimate time of 1-2 hours to replace the water heater depending on difficulty. It took them an hour... or 50 minutes to be exact! They said it would take 30-45 minutes for hot water to be up and running. Air-O-Smith is a family owned business. Martin and his son, Christopher were so friendly and I enjoyed talking story with them! Louise is Martin's wife and she was very friendly over the phone :)

Fast forward several months, I called Louise on 5/8 to schedule an appointment because our water heater was leaking on the roof.

As I refreshed her memory about my inquiry, she found her notes & said she hadn't talked to Martin about it yet. She said she'd talk to him later that day & call me back. Well, it's now 5/18, and I still have not received a call back from them. I guess they're too busy to deal with my leak. If that's the case, I would've called other companies to come out. I will NOT be using them again, nor will I refer anyone to them. Louise should have a better system for her note taking / follow ups.

Outstanding Service from Start to Finish!…read more We recently had a HALO H2Zero Ultimate whole-house water filtration system installed by Allen's Plumbing, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the very first phone call, Corrine was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and professional, making the scheduling process easy and stress-free. In today's world, it's rare to find someone who communicates so well and genuinely cares about the customer experience. Our technician, Ty, was outstanding. He took tremendous pride in his work, patiently answered all of our questions, and clearly explained the system, maintenance requirements, and warranty. His craftsmanship was exceptional. The copper piping installation is clean, organized, and looks like it belongs in a plumbing showcase. You can immediately tell that Ty values doing the job the right way rather than simply finishing it quickly. We invested in a HALO H2Zero Ultimate system with a Sediment Guard pre-filter, and Allen's Plumbing installed everything beautifully with bypass valves, high-quality copper work, and a layout that will be easy to maintain for years to come. What impressed me most was the professionalism of everyone involved. From Corrine's communication to Ty's workmanship, the entire team demonstrated honesty, expertise, and genuine pride in what they do. If you're looking for a plumbing company on Oʻahu that shows up, communicates well, and delivers top-quality workmanship, I highly recommend Allen's Plumbing. They earned our trust, and they'll be the first company we call for any future plumbing needs. Mahalo to Corrine, Ty, and the entire Allen's Plumbing team for a fantastic experience!

As a home owner you have a lot of responsibilities where you need to juggle many responsibilities such as but not limited to finances, insurance, property taxes, preventative measures and maintenance. The other week I wasn't feeling well and stayed home from work which ended up a blessing in disguise as I had a leak in one of my 50 gallon tanks. I noticed the leak from the night before where I shut all but one valve and turned off the electric breakers. As water leaks can lead to property damage, I had to immediately get a plumber as I'm not a DIY person. I reached out to my BIL where he recommended either Allen's Plumbing (AP) or Roto Rooter. I decided to first check AP on Yelp and saw low ratings from good friends of Peter Y. and Victoria A. It's unfortunate my friends had below average experiences with AP where I was skeptical. But I trust my BIL and took the leap of faith. AP is a local company that started in 1982 servicing 24-hour service to both Oahu and Maui. The process was simple and efficient. I called first thing on a Friday morning and after addressing my issue, I was advised their plumber can be at my home at around 11am. Their dispatch contacted me a little before 11am to inform Jonah, their plumber, is on his way and arrived at about 1120am. After the assessment, it was determined that one of my hot water tanks had both internal and external leaks. I was provided an onsite quote of replacing the tank, installation, labor, parts, and disposal of the old tank. I was forewarned by my BIL of the higher than usual quote with AP, but trusted the integrity, service and professionalism of AP and agreed to the proposal. After committing to the quote, staff went on the road to secure my water tank replacement and came back about an hour later. This allowed me some time to clear the area and place more towels on the floor as water accumulated. When the staff returned, I advised them to use the side gate for a much easier access to the wash room. Luckily it was a breezy and sunny afternoon, ideal conditions in transporting the water tanks and installation. It took about 3 hours for Jonah and his colleague to disconnect and remove the damaged tank and install the new tank. I'm no expert in this field but waited patiently as I do have solar panels which perhaps caused extra steps in removing and installing. When I saw one of the staff load a box with the leaking water tank into their van, I sensed the task was soon to be completed. Prior to Jonah leaving, I did also mention my sink fixture in one of the bathrooms needed to be replaced where he also gave me a quote. It was already late so it was agreed I'd be calling back once I've made arrangements to have my sister house sit for me due to my work schedule. I paid my bill in full and the boys left my home. I had some minor tidying up to do as the laundry room floor was still wet. Overall, an amazing first experience with AP where I'd be sure to contact them again. I am impressed of their service, professionalism, dedication and knowledge of their industry by providing the service to get the job done. Note that due diligence is also required by the consumer. Highly recommended.

The negative reviews are mostly about price and yes, the price was high, but I needed it done and approved the cost prior to him moving forward. Will I use probably use Steve's again.
