Last night the pipe under my kitchen faucet burst and water started gushing out at a phenomenal rate. 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! read more

I reached out to several plumbing companies for quotes, and First Class Plumbing was priced right from the start. 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. They provided a clear quote over the phone, scheduled the appointment within a few days, and completed the job seamlessly. 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. read more

I recently requested quotes to replace a toilet fill valve that's been giving us issues for a few months. First Class Plumbing was quick to respond with a fair quote. I set up an appointment and we settled on a date and time as my issue wasn't an emergency. The visit was quite quick and they were very thorough making sure the fill level was perfect. The cost was exactly as quoted with no surprises. Highly recommend for your plumbing needs! read more

Whit is friendly and efficient. He repaired my toilet issues and replaced my kitchen faucet. He also repaired my sister's pluming issues. I highly recommend First Class Plumbing. read more

They responded almost immediately to an emergency leak coming from our kitchen sink. Whit(?) was super friendly, explained things super well and came with all the parts and supplies needed to fix everything up. We'll definitely be calling him back for some other odds and ends that got neglected over the years. And the price? Very reasonable given the speed and urgency of the response. read more

Had a great experience having our water heater replaced with a new one and having the old one removed last October 2024. Whit was very easy to work with, kept the communication going up until the day we scheduled for him to do the job and got the task done for us with no issues. He wasn't the least expensive estimate I got but I felt reassured by the numerous positive reviews his business had gotten compared to the others. I was further encouraged because he would be completing the job for us and not someone else. He even worked with me when I explained I didn't want to get a standard water heater from Home Depot or Lowe's but a better quality one exactly as we'd had (professional grade) which I made arrangements to purchase direct from a plumbing distributor. He took care of removing our old water heater that had rusted and installed our new one just as we needed. He even took the time to explain how to take care of doing our registration for the warranty which I hadn't done before. All in all, highly recommended. read more

Extremely good customer service and fund of knowledge. Honesty and expertise. Highly recommend

Excellent! Professional, friendly, and installed a complicated Hybrid Rheem water heater without issue and was completed in a timely fashion. Would highly recommend. Mahalo Whitley! read more

First Class Plumbing - Plumbing Near Me

We were having issues with our pressure relief valve for our home, and decided to request some quotes on Yelp. Ana was quick to respond, and was one of the only companies to give us a quote without having to come out first. We all know what happens when a company uses that tactic. We called on a Saturday, and she was very responsive throughout the weekend. We ended up getting a appointment for Tuesday which is what we felt was a quick turnaround. The price was not the lowest we received, but was within the range what we thought was fair. Whit came out that day on time, and was in communication with us the whole time. He was very friendly and professional at the same time. He finished the job fast, and did a professional job. He even took pictures of his work so we could see what he did, which was unexpected but appreciated. We will not hesitate to call them again for any of our plumbing needs. They have a five star rating for a reason, and we are happy to join the list. Thank you First Class Plumbing! read more

Our house has lots of deferred maintenance and our shower fixtures needed replacement. Sent requests for estimates via the Yelp thingy and they were the first to respond with reasonable quote and fast appointment. The plumber and manager were great at communicating and doing the job. It's always a struggle just to get anybody to show up for any projects on your house, lots of flakes. Not these guys. Our old school ball type shower fixture was a little complicated to replace but Whitt was able to do it without cutting a hole in the back of the shower which some other plumbers said was the only way to do it. They went the extra mile to make sure the job was done right and guaranteed their work. So far so good read more

They were the only ones who would give me an estimate straight up over the phone instead of someone coming out to tell me any pricing. They responded quickly to my messages and we arranged for a new water heater. Our old water was a 30-gallon and the day before it really broke the water was really hot and then the next day we didn't have any hot water (he said that normally happens). Our old water heater was 18 years old and water heaters usually last 10 to 15 years and 20 if you're lucky, so we knew it needed to be replaced right away. My research says that replacing a water heater will cost an average of 1700$ but can be anywhere from 1200$ to 5000$. He took the old 30-gallon water heater, replaced it with the new 40-gallon water heater, and took the old one away. We paid 1222.33$. Based on the conversations we had, it could be more if he had to use all new parts, or if there are stairs (might need a second person with him), or if it's on Sunday (his day off), or if you use a card instead of a check. We are happy with the pricing and we have hot water again. We recommend him, I believe his name was Whit, thank you! read more

This review is based on the companies interaction not work performed. I reached out to this company to try and get my houses plumbing replaced top to bottom. What I got was an average daily cost which was not too bad it helped but it was labor only no info on how much parts were and when I asked how long the job would take they said they didnt know they would need to see the house. Fair enough however thats where it ends no follow up on when they had time to see my house. Was hoping for better customer service. Please see added photos of the conversation. I am just a homeowner who is trying to get work done. Im not saying this company does bad work at all as I have never had work performed by them but to be called out like this is uncalled for. I leave up to the people looking for work to be done to decide what they wish to do. 7/21/23 Whit did reach out to me and came by to give me an estimate on work done. I do appreciate the follow up after my original review. He was understanding and willing to help work with me and take a look at how his company could service the extensive plumbing problem I have despite the original hiccup we had at the start. While I am still looking to get work done I will be considering his company for repairs. read more

Look no further - this is your plumber! I manage a condominium in Waikiki from California and when I found out from a friend that the unit smelled like sewer, I scrambled to find a plumber yesterday because I have potential tenants looking at the place in two days. I called other plumbing companies but nobody would give me the time of day to even talk to a plumber to ask questions just to ask if this was a fixable problem. I called First Class, explained the situation and within 15 min I got a call back from the plumber, Whit. He said he was finishing up a job and would be at my unit in an hour. We did a virtual call and I guided him in getting into the unit on his own. Unlike other companies that said someone had to be present and that it was a 3 hour window to wait for a plumber. First Class plumbing service was prompt, flexible and so accommodating from the get go. As soon as he got there he immediately determined that because of non-use of my brand new two month old toilets in a condo building, the water in the traps can evaporate and leak sewage smell. He filled every single drain back up with water and ensured the unit didn't smell before leaving and went thru the process of returning the keys back. The next day, he sent a text message with additional solutions on how to fix the current problem and how to prevent this from happening again. From start to finish, EXCELLENT customer service and such a prompt response. Totally trust First Class and he will remain our plumbing go to. Thank you Whit! read more

Our kitchen sink clogged recently which we only made worse when we tried to use a plunger and caused the garbage disposal to start leaking. I made a last-minute call to First Class on Saturday and they were quickly able to accommodate us that Sunday. Our plumber was very communicative and friendly.

I live in an apartment complex. The shower valve broke and the water wouldn't stop running so I called the emergency hotline and was told I need to find my own 24 hour plumbing service. I contacted First Class Plumbing and I was so impressed with the customer service I received with this company. The dispatcher was very responsive and helpful. While we were on the phone, she already sent a plumber out to my address. My wait time was maybe 30 minutes from town to Waipahu. The plumber came in and within 10-15 minutes, he was out! So fast and efficient!!!!! QUALITY WORK & MATERIALS!! Thank you so much First Class Plumbing for your outstanding services!!! I highly recommend this business if you are looking for quality work, fast, efficient and professional services.

We called First Class Plumbing to get a quote for three plumbing repairs: replace the flushing mechanism in a toilet, install a new bathroom faucet set and unclog a slow kitchen drain. We found the quote reasonable and set up a day and time for the work to be done. Because there was a delay in finishing a previous job, Whit let us know he'd be a little late. It turned out to be only a 15-minute delay. When he arrived at our house, Whit had all the parts and equipment needed to do the various jobs, which he completed efficiently. We were very pleased with all aspects of working with First Class Plumbing: the quality of the work, the communication, the friendliness, and the professionalism. We will definitely call First Class Plumbing for future jobs and highly recommend this business. read more

Needed a bathroom faucet replaced. Used the Yelp feature to get quotes from various providers. First Class Plumbing had a good price with the availability two days later to do the project. After a few text messages, everything was set. Whit showed up on time and two hours later, I had a new 3 pc faucet and drain installed for $250. Quick, efficient, and good value - all with a one year warranty on workmanship. read more

Last Saturday am woke up to a backed up kitchen sink. Tried contacting 2 plumbers that had previously worked on our home but none answered/called back. Decided to look on Yelp for another plumber. I mustve gone down the list & contacted at least 8 different plumbers/plumbing companies. They were either booked, don't work weekends, or never answered/called back. Finally found First Class Plumbing. Whit was on a job but was still able to give me quick info & said was able to be over to help us out right away once he was done. He was at our house in no time. Fixed our backed up sink, fixed a slow leaker, kept things clean AND cleaned up after his work. Hands down the best plumber we've had work on our home so far & is now our "go to" plumber for sure! Highly recommended & highly trusted!! Mahalo Whit again for helping us out! read more

First Class Plumbing delivers first class service. I had a tremendously great experience with this fine company in the replacement of my leaky water heater.

In practically no time my hot water was back up and running. Thank you Ana and Whit! First Class Plumbing is awesome! read more

My parents' bathtub and toilet were backed up Thursday night. Contacted several plumbers Friday morning, no answer, no available time. Finally found one plumber and claimed they could arrive after 5pm. Plumber arrived and tried snaking the toilet and the bathroom but couldn't unclog it. Suggested to open up the wall and use a bigger snake but it was too late and due to Condo policy no loud noises after 7pm and of course we did not want to open up the wall and end up having a leak pipe from the wall. I did a quick search and found First Class Plumber and requested a quote on Yelp and they responded within minutes. Scheduled with Whit for Saturday morning. He stayed till the end to make sure the job was done and unclogged the bathtub and toilet. High recommend Whit for any plumbing job! read more

I needed to replace a stuck kitchen sink shut off valve identified in an inspection of high risk components for my condo's insurance policy. First Class Plumbing responded with a very reasonable quote almost immediately. When I asked to schedule the repair, the plumber, Whit, called me right away and set a time. He kept in touch by phone and text and alerted me when he was about to arrive. The repair turned out to be more complicated than I had thought, but Whit was more than able to handle the problems. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and skilled. He charged me a very fair price for the additional work. He also sent me an invoice by email so I could forward proof of work to my condo. I was able to pay online through a link on the email. Highly recommended. read more

We have had some crazy plumbing emergencies in the past few months...exploding water heater, low pressure in the kitchen faucet, leaky toilets. Whitley returned our calls and also answered messages right away and was so great and knowledgeable with everything. He stayed till the end and made sure the job was done right EVERY TIME he had to come by. He even was able to adjust our water pressure gauge (or something like that) that was coming into the house from the city. He's my go-to plumber from now on and should be yours too!!!! read more

My shower was showing signs for maintenance repairs. I needed to change the shower cartridge and the shower handle was pitting so bad. I searched on Yelp for a plumber and thought I found one reading his reviews (Dan does plumbing). Txting this plumber I was getting the feeling of negative vibes so I decided not to use him and to keep searching. I found First Class Plumbing. They responded with a quote and had a positive response that they could fix my plumbing problem. I set up an appointment. The repairman showed up on time and promptly went to work. Watching him do the repair I was glad I didn't try to fix it myself because I would have run into problems. The repairman was very knowledgeable and completed the job. I was very happy with the job and that I chose First Class Plumbing. If I need any plumbing repair in the future I would call them again. read more

Whitley at First Class Plumbing took great care of us. He replaced our hot water heater in January 2022. When it turned out we had a pre-existing but related electrical problem, he was able to get someone out to help with that quickly. He put a lot of hours into solving our issue, and only charged us for the original quoted repair. In our experience with him, he was honest and genuinely interested in making sure we were taken care of. Mahalo, Whitley! read more

I had a leaking shower in a new condo. I found this company on Yelp but also contacted another company referred by a friend. The other plumber came out first but had never even seen Grohe fixtures and admitted he didn't know how to fix it. Whit from First Class Plumbing came out and was the sweetest and nicest guy. I trusted him immediately. He was able to determine the problem. I had to order the part from the mainland and it took months but I finally got the part and he fixed it today. If you need a plumber, you have to use this company. Not only do they respond quickly, but they are professional and honest! That's pretty hard to find these days. I'm going to recommend them to everyone I know. read more
