My house recently had a few external plumbing issues pop up at the same time... two outdoor spigots that started dripping and a pipe with a tiny pinhole spray that looked harmless until it absolutely wasn't. My dad previously had a great experience with J. McKeeve Plumbing, so they were our first call. Since I was stuck at work, my wife had to run point on the whole project. Jeff McKeeve and his team showed up promptly, were professional throughout, and made the entire process easy. What originally looked like a straightforward repair turned into a two-visit job after my wife casually asked them to also look at a guest bath sink issue... which, to my financial "delight," basically doubled the cost of the project. To be fair, they did a very thorough job, sourced matching sink hardware for us, and handled everything from start to finish. I was completely absent from the process, honestly, priceless. There's something beautiful about coming home from work and simply discovering things are fixed. Most importantly, my wife was happy with the workmanship... and in marriage, that's really the final review that matters. One thing I especially appreciated was the detailed invoice outlining exactly what work was performed. That transparency goes a long way, especially when you're trying to understand the cost breakdown. Big kudos to Jeff and the entire team. Hopefully I won't NEED to see you again anytime soon... but if I do, I know you guys are on it. read more

My Delta tub and shower faucet began to have a slow drip. It was installed in 2003. We don't use the shower much so I ignored it. The drip continued to grow to about 2 gallons per hour. I felt it needed to be fixed soon and called my regular plumber. He was very busy and could not get to it for a week or more so I asked for a recommendation. He suggested McKeeve Plumbing. I checked online, reviews were all good so I contacted them. The technician found the cartridge needed and quoted me a price of $784-$884 installed. The cartridge price on the Delta website is $125. I wanted to get this done so I agreed. The technician came the next day with the cartridge and spent 2 hours installing it. It was a tough job because of the mineral deposits from the hard water here. The faucet worked and the leak was fixed. He then presented me with a bill of $1189.63, 34% more than the quote. This was AFTER the job. I balked at this but since I thought it was fixed I paid. I registered my complaint with the owner who defended the bill saying another plumber might have to open the wall up. Three weeks later the leak came back not as bad as before but still a steady dribble. I called McKeeve again and he was able to show up a week later. He worked on it for an hour and stopped the leak but the handle broke off so the shower was unusable. I called Delta and obtained the replacement handle parts under warranty. I notified McKeeve expecting they would be happy to come and finish the job. Instead I was quoted another $295 to finish the job. I thought this was outrageous but I counter offered $150. At this point they recommended I get someone else since they were too busy. I contacted my regular plumber who was able to come and finish the job for much less than McKeeve wanted. I'm a very dissatisfied customer and will never use them again. read more

My mom had a clog in her kitchen and they were so fast and flexible to work around my schedule. They snaked it and was in and out of the house in about half an hour. Great plumbers!! read more

Lesson learned: if a plumber finds a hidden problem when doing your requested repair - beware if they try to scare you, create a false sense of urgency, and quote an exorbitant amount to repair the new issue. Check with ChatGPT, Grok, or any other source to double check what they say - they are very good and can give you advice. Get a second opinion from another plumber, plumbers will come out on short notice for about $100, look at the issue, and will give you a second opinion. read more

When you need a top quality plumber who is honest and hard working you need to contact J. McKeeve Plumbing and ask to speak with Robert. Our home was built in 1962 and over the years we have needed to have plumbers come to our home to fix or replace various plumbing fixtures and pipes. Our most recent problem came from a leak in our bathroom faucet that was replaced about 6 years ago. When this faucet was installed we asked the plumber to install the new faucet and replace all the original pipes under the sink. When the plumber arrived he said he would not replace the existing plumbing under the sink but only install the new faucet. Because the plumber was already at our home we decided to have him install the faucet. As with previous plumbers this plumber also needed to leave our home to get additional parts to finish the job causing the price and time to finish the job go up. So now after 6 years we have this leaky faucet and I needed to find a new plumber who is honest trustworthy reliable and can do the job right. A long time friend referred me to J. McKeeve Plumbing. When I called J. McKeeve Plumbing, I spoke with Robert, explained our situation and Robert said "I can do your complete faucet installation no problem". Robert arrived on time, parked his truck on the street, not blocking our driveway like previous plumbers, and went to work replacing the leaky faucet and installed all new pipes and valves under the sink and he did not need to leave to get additional parts to finish the job; Robert came prepared! Finally we have found a very good honest trustworthy and reliable plumber and have a faucet that finally works! If you want to get your plumbing done right you need to contact J. McKeeve Plumbing and speak with Robert (310) 517-1804 read more

Repipe pool heater. amazing job. The pool was built in 1972 and I've had a lot done to it. This was by far the most professional and weirdly the most esthetically pleasing. Even the replaced cement was perfect. It was also done quickly in exactly the timeframe given. This is the company you want to call. read more

Jeff is an awesome plumber and his crew are top notch. Jeff really helped us out in a jam with a leaking pipe and reviewing a mold remediation issue. Thanks to his techs Oscar and Eloy as well. I wouldn't call anyone else but Jeff McKeeve Plumbing for plumbing issues. See previous review as well. read more

We have relied on them in the past had good service and i think fair if on the high side pricing for complicated problems in an old house. However for a simple drain unclogging last week they charge me 323$ because" he had to pass the snake many times". i won't be calling them again. i called on a holiday weekend, but elected to wait until tuesday because it would be less expensive! read more

Saturday afternoon and the washing machine was backing up into a shower. One toilet plugged and now the second toilet too. Panic! Aifter 25 years here, we'd never had this predicament. Our regular plumber was in transit from Puerto Rico and his referral was swamped. Turning to recommendations on Next Door, McKeeve got good reviews for competence and their answering service was on the ball! Oscar responded in less than half an hour and was here in under an hour. Three access points, three routers and three hours later, the system was still clogged. The solution was to install a second clean-out to access this part of the system. Monday morning, bright and early, Oscar, his assistant and Jeff McKeeve himself were on the job, installed a 3" exterior access point and cleared the pipes. McKeeve gets kudos for response time, professionalism, communication and competence. read more

On Christmas Day, the cleanout from the house to the sewer backed up from roots in the pipe. I called Roto-Rooter. They got enough of the roots out to clear the line. The following week I called Jeff because of a recommendation I got from a friend who is a CA licensed general contractor. Jeff put a camera in the cleanout and showed me where the remaining roots were ... then ... we had a discussion respecting what choices were available to prevent roots from getting into the cleanout in the future. What impressed me was what Jeff advised that I did not need. He said I did not need to dig up the driveway and replace the pipe. He also told me that I did not need to line the pipe which is expensive [5K-7K]. Jeff recommended hydro jetting the pipe ... which would remove any roots remaining. He said that after this process, he would pour a solution into the line which inhibits [slows down] the roots from returning for a while. However, he advised maintenance every 6 months to ensure that no roots were returning. WOW ... what an honest guy ... Wish there were more folks like Jeff "around these parts." read more

Cannot give a higher rating to McKeeve Plumbing! I have used them for over 15 years and always great service. Today I called on a Saturday at 2pm for broken water heater.

I will only use McKeeve & recommend to my family & friends read more

Best plumbing company in the South Bay. McKeeve is my go to plumbing company for large and small jobs. Fast friendly service at fair prices. I have been using them for about 20 years. I'm so glad I found them. They've installed a water heater, garbage disposal, toilet, fixed leaks, unclogged toilets, and just changed my main water shut off valve. Thorough, friendly, and great communication. You can't go wrong with Jeff and his team. read more

Jeff has been helping my family and I for DECADES and has always been super helpful, responsive and honest. Whether it's a tiny job or a major flood, he'll always be my first and last call! read more

Robert returned my call and came out to assess our issues. He said he couldn't do anything until cracked pipe under the house was fixed and area dried out. They are plumbers aren't they? In any case called someone else and completely repiped under the house and had restoration dry everything out. I left two messages so he could then install faucets on tub and sinks. NO callback for either. Have the courtesy to at least text to say you aren't interested in the job! Won't use them again! Very poor customer service. read more

Very rude and impolite. I called this company and Maria answered my phone, I tried to describe the problem I have and what plumbing service I need, she rudely interrupt my call and said "what kind of plumbing you need? I don't need all the details and I don't have time to listen to all of this" All my conversation from greeting and my description and disconnecting was about 48 second. How did I talke a lot for her? If She didn't have time or she is not patient to listen to my problemnt how this company wants to fix my plumbing issue. She is not right person for this job. I will never hire this company read more

I had a gas leak. I called a bunch of plumbers; difficult to find someone who wants to address this. I talked to Jeff on Monday. We made an appt for Tuesday. They showed up early & wore masks. They found our gas leak, and unclogged a drain. Everything was explained to me as they worked. I asked about a bunch of other on-going issues & got some guidance. I am really pleased & am very happy to have found a plumber I can trust. read more

I, too, was advised to use this company for any plumbing needs. I happened to be the last day of a "staycation" and he asked whether he could come a day later. When I told him that I was home for the day, he nicely worked me into that day's schedule. He quickly diagnosed the problem, quoted me a fair price and was finished quickly. He's an old school plumber that cares about his customer and I highly recommend them for your plumbing needs. read more

One of the drivers (assuming that there's more than 1) tried to run me off the road this morning. I was driving today with my 12 month baby and 2 daughters in the car and there was a car in front of me slowing down to make a right turn so naturally I slowed down only to look in my rear view mirror and see a guy in a van driving extremely close behind me to the point that I had to speed up in order not to get rear ended and turned onto the fwy on ramp to get away from this crazy driver. As I was approaching the on ramp the driver swerved around me and speeded up. That's how I caught the name of the business on the back of the van. Please tell your drivers to be more careful!!!! Some of us have our children in our cars! I have never been so scared of getting hit by a car as I was today.... and that shows a lot because I have been driving for over 20 years. (Yes in LA). read more

We had a leak in our kitchen and our sinks were clogged in the master bath. Robert came out two days in a row and fix the problem immediately. Very professional and very thorough. A little pricey but you do get what you pay for everything was fixed perfectly and no more leak read more

Absolutely great company, owner and crew. We've had Jeff and his team come out to our home and rental numerous times for small (drain clogs, water heater, sewer line treatments) and big (water line leak) jobs and each time felt completely satisfied and comfortable with the quality of work. Best thing is my wife trusts them as well!! read more

He was recommended by so many people on Nextdoor I was sure he was good. He was in and out fixing a clogged kitchen in record time for a reasonable charge. I will have him back again and again. read more

Cal Water telephoned me to inform me I had a undetected water leak, and it was a significant source of water loss! Cal Water sent two service reps to my home to shut my service off pending repair of the leak. (Senior citizen under Covid shelter in place) both Cal Water reps worked very hard to try and find the leak; not wanting to leave me without water. I called a plumber recommended on Nextdoor.com as being very reasonable in price. The result of that was I paid for repair of a pipe that did not appear to be leaking at all based upon inspection of the piece of pipe replaced and the lack of water/mud under the pipe's location. And, of course, the leak persisted as evidenced by the meter's reading. Cal Water confirmed the undetected leak still was a problem. I called McKeeve plumbing because a friend of mine went to school with Jeff McKeeve and told me I could trust him, and another friend of mine said she has been using him for years because they are reliable and do good work. I got a bid from Jeff for the repair of the leak in the main line from the meter and the leak under the house and he explained it would not be the cheapest bid but he would guarantee the work, and there would be no "add on" costs during the project which took a whole day. He explained they would do the repair under the house first and if that stopped the meter from running continuously they would not do the main line. He and his crew showed me everything they were doing (taking photos of the pipe leaking under the house and evidence of how long it had been leaking, and the soggy area where the main line was indeed leaking) So I can attest to McKeeve's reputation for honesty and good work. His crew was very professional and I am happy with the quality of the work and the care they extended to my property. I will be calling them next time I need a plumber. Sometimes it just is not a good idea to go with the cheapest bid; better to go with the provider with the better reputation. read more

I can't say enough positive things about McKeeve's. When our regular plumber wasn't able to replace our hot water heater, I called McKeeve's. Jeff came out the next morning, took photos and measurements of our current heater; he called that night and explained to us what we needed to do and that he would take care of it as soon as possible. His plumbers arrived on time and worked efficiently and professionally. Since then we've had them replace valves under our bathroom sinks and replaced the main water shutoff. Jeff is currently researching new bathroom hardware for us. I have seldom worked with a company that is this efficient and capable. They may be expensive (I really don't think they're way out of line), but you get what you pay for. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Excellent! Called several plumbers today with an emergency and no one was willing or able. Robert called back and came exactly when we planned. There was a leak that was not visible and he was knowledgeable enough to go right to the source opening the ceiling in just the right spot. The bill was reasonable and he provided other good advice about our pressure meter at the street. This was a blind call on my part and there were only 2 reviews here and one not so nice. I can't vouch for anyone else, but Robert was terrific today. Thanks! read more
