SERVICE. This is the second time I have contacted "Bert" (the owner) at First Option Plumbing to provide residential plumbing services. Following a camera inspection and receipt of a competitive estimate from Bert, I hired First Option Plumbing to remove cast iron drainage pipes concealed in the walls of my home. In the absence of any complications, the job was expected to last around three days. QUALITY. On the day of the re-piping job, Bert and his team of plumbers arrived on time and wearing professional uniforms. After placing protective booties over their shoes, they immediately placed multiple protective coverings on all floor surfaces and taped large plastic tarps along the ceilings and walls to minimize dust and debris. Then they removed the cast iron drainage pipes from several bathroom areas, laundry area, work sink and kitchen. After each cast iron pipe was removed, a brand new ABS drainage pipe was installed in its place. When they were done with the work, they cleaned-up each worksite and didn't leave any of the old cast iron pipes or debris behind. TL/DR: Bert and his plumbing team completed all of the re-piping work efficiently and very quickly. VALUE. I was very satisfied with Bert's plumbing services - highly recommended - thank you! read more

Owner told me they could come out today at 11. Called the owner at 1120 and he apparently forgot to book me, so I had to wait until noon for two techs to get here. I explained that I believed we had a leak in my Mom's shower. They looked at the water meter and climbed up in the attic. Told me they could not find the leak and that the water meter does not indicate one is happening. I told them we believe it was when the shower was turned on, they told me they had to call their boss to get permission?! To turn on a shower?! Is that not part of investigating a leak?! I told them to go ahead and go and I will have someone else come. They proceeded to send me a bill for $150. I called the owner and he did not make me pay it, thankfully. I had another plumbing company come out a couple of hours after, who found the problem within 10 mins from simply turning on the shower, something the techs failed to do. I cannot believe this company was referred to me and am even more shocked with all of the great reviews!! read more

I have called first option a number of times! We always get professional service and let's all care. The prices are fair and they're honest.

First Option, has always been there for me. I've used them about 3 times and they never let me down. Their prices are reasonable, they are honest and they never have surprise prices. Meaning if they quote you and the job becomes difficult, the price stays what they quoted you. I called with a project and thought it would be for next week. Nope, they found time for me within 3 hours and I'm super happy with their work. I will be using them from now on. read more

I called several plumbers and they were quick to respond and come to my house. The service was on time and fixed our issue. Will be using them again. read more

First Option Plumbing - Shower knob need to be fixed - Plumbing Near Me - Anaheim, California

Recently moved into a house that is a bit outdated and undermaintained. Asked Bert to come out to assess the state of our plumbing given that our shower and kitchen drains kept backing up. He pleasantly endured my barrage of questions and helped me understand the plumbing system in the house. We scoped all 3 of the cleanouts and found loads of the usual grease, soap scum, hair, etc., which Bert was able to take care of (ream shower and hydrojet kitchen). He also noted a few other small issues with the water heater and took care of those as well. The work was clean, the punctuality was appreciated, and the price was reasonable. Will be calling again in the future, thanks Bert! read more

Bert is great ... quick to respond. He is extremely knowledgeable, price was competitive, was on time, cleaned work area. I have used a lot of plumbers over the years, First Option is the best. Bert Bylsma 714-726-4649 read more

Great company. I had a difficult emergency during a remodel and they came in the next day and did a very professional job. Highly recommended. read more

EXCELLENT service! Called once with a problem. Instead of sending someone out, the owner helped me undersand the problem and suggested a solution. He even called me back to make sure that I fixed the problem by myself. Zero dollars! Then, last week we had a bigger problem and Jesus came out and spent a few hours fixing things. Super considerate in how he treated our home, clear communication, and all for a fair price. read more

Dishonest place of business. Had a problem with my maytag washing machine. Machine was not draining+beeping continuously. Someone from this company came and I specifically told him I want the vent cleaned. He said that he can fix the problem. What he did he worked on something totally different, did not clean the vent, and charged me $325 left the machine beeping as it was originally doing. He said that was not his job and I should call a maytag specialist which he did not disclose before he worked on it. He did not replace no valves and did not even clean tbe vent, took the $325 and left.Scammers and untrustworthy company. Will never use them or recommend them. Machine is still beeping. read more

Bert and his team was very helpful and prompt. We had an unexpected gas leak and the gas company had to come turn off the gas and remove it from the gas lines.

Bert and his team have provided plumbing services for an older triplex we own for several years now. They are always very responsive, prompt and professional. A few weeks ago, I got a call from a tenant at 6:15 a.m. about water backing up in the tub and toilet, and it affected a second unit. I reached out to Bert at 6:45 a.m., he had someone there at 8:30 a.m. and resolved the problem in a timely manner. Last night at 11:00 p.m. I got a call about a similar problem with another unit. I called and left him a message, he responded at 6:30 a.m. this morning saying he was on his way to resolve it. The tenant texted me at 8:05 a.m. to say the job was complete! He also met my husband, used cameras to assess the condition of the drainpipes including the main line so they could find a longer-term solution to the problem and prevent future issues. We really appreciate his willingness to discuss a job and provide us with options that would not only be effective but affordable. Whatever your plumbing needs are I would highly recommend giving First Option Plumbing a call. read more

Definitely recommend Bert and his crew Eli and Thomas for fixing a toilet that is leaky at the base. Fast response, true to the quote for repairs, and job well done. Call them for reliable, professional, and no hassle bathroom repairs. read more

It always go well. They are all professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We wouldn't go to anyone else.

Bert and his crew are true professionals and experts in their trade. Had them out to evaluate shut off valves and the pressure regulator on a home I recently purchased which appeared to have original and dated parts. They not only took care of getting everything replaced, but they also cleaned up the appearance and the geometry/layout of things. I know this is a small detail to some, but to others these things are important and looking at crooked pipes and layouts that go in circles is frustrating! Bert made every little tweak I requested and did it without complaint. Could not be happier with both the final product as well and the experience working with them. Highly recommended! read more
