Chris responded to my call and was helpful in getting a quote to fix a gas valve for my fireplace. The quote was reasonable and he explained the variation in pricing was based on what was behind the drywall. He was able to complete the job for the lowest quoted amount. I have had plumbers take advantage of situations to escalate costs and Chris is not that type of guy. He is professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Enjoyed the conversation and appreciated the care he took to clean-up and make everything spotless before leaving. He even helped me choose a better place to store my gas valve key. Highly Recommend! Stop scrolling and call Stride Plumbing now! read more

Just big shout out to Chris, I had a burnt out garbage disposal. He was able to come out within the hour. Really appreciate how responsive he is, and pricing is very reasonable He's my plumber forever read more

Chris was very helpful even from the initial phone call. Our bathtub faucet decided to not shut off and he was able to come out the same evening. He seems to really care about what he does. read more

This company is very reliable, I requested to replace my worn out garbage disposal, they gave me a quote and I accepted. The Co. came out and replaced my garbage disposal on the date and time requested. I am very satisfied with Company and I will definitely call them back for any other plumbing needs. I would highly recommend them. read more

I have my own small hvac business and was once introduced to Criss from Stride remotely to assist with one of my client's plumbing issue. Ever since if I'm ever asked if I know any good plumber I always refer them to Stride and clients love them. Knowledge, cost and level of professionalism are a truly five star company. read more

I have used Stride Plumbing in the past because of dependability, fairness and excellent work. On 8/16/2023, Chris came to the house as scheduled. I explained the clog issue and my attempts to fix the problem. I'm pretty handy but this was a tough clog issue I could not undo. Chris got to work and solved the issue. So happy with his work. He always leaves the area worked in, in a clean condition. I have an old house with temperamental pipes, but Chris is always careful when working on our plumbing. I would definitely use this company again and recommend to family and friends!!!! read more

I have used Stride for a number of years now. They have always proven to be reliable and extremely trustworthy (my previous plumber tried to up-sell to me every time but Stride never does that). read more

I am very very happy and satisfied with Chris of Stride Plumbing .. he is available 24/7 and answers the phone over the weekend and nights. Great guy, knowledgeable and is able to get to you as quickly as possible. Mine was a water heater issue and he took care of that timely, asked me for pictures ahead of time so he could assess the issue from afar and that was perfect because no one else wanted pictures and only wanted to come in person and assess things then go order the part but Chris and I communicated via email and telephone and BOOM! done. Great job, great customer service and I will call him again in the future for all of my plumbing needs. 619 971 1517. read more

Although this is my first review, my husband and I have worked with stride multiple times. I applaud owner Chris for his professional communication at all times, never have I had to wait more than a few minutes for a reply or update from him. Technician Louis is always professional, courteous, and gets the job done in a timely manner. He always recommends what is the best for my specific situation, taking budget and necessity into account. Stride plumbing is an honest and reliable company. Now that our home has turned into a rental property, we have found our plumbers. Highly recommend them for any of your needs. read more

We called Stride after we noticed standing water underneath our crawl space , and within a day we had Louis show up and confirm that we had a bursted pipe which caused the standing water. He was honest and transparent with us about cost and detailed work he had to perform. He was able to fix the pipe all in one day and dedicated the whole afternoon to it without any other jobs pending. We had to deal with our home warranty and Chris was very understanding and helped us with documents we needed. Overall great job and super recommend. read more

Hired to put in a new hot water heater. Was easy to schedule with, extremely responsive, and did a great job. When I had another plumbing issue come up (a leak), Chris responded right away and we were able to schedule for next day. He's also honest. When we had problems hooking up our dishwasher, he told us what we needed to do to easily fix it ourselves. I would definitely recommend Stride Plumbing and Chris is definitely our go to guy for any plumbing issues read more

I called on a Sunday after a pipe burst. Although they were tied up with other repair calls, the owner answered my call and advised me how I could temporarily repair it myself. They came out later that week to make the permanent repair for less than what they originally quoted. Quality work and great customer service! read more

Arrived on time and got the drain fixed quick. I would highly recommend stride plumbing and drain.

Stride Plumbing came highly recommended on the Nextdoor app so I gave them a call when we had issues. Chris came out to fix backed up plumbing. He did a great job and was very helpful and kind. Recommended! read more

Excellent service. Was late but was notified in advance. Will definitely use their service again. Highly recommend their company.

Very reliable, clean, and honest. Chris was very personable and I would recommend his work to anyone. Chris explained everything and is an excellent plumber. I had a slab leak and he finished on time, was very thorough, responsible and I can't say enough about his work ethic. read more

Awesome! Great communication. Amazing customer service. Very professional and HONEST!!! -Replaced and updated our old 70's garage sink pipes. Left no mess behind either. read more

An honest plumber! My son's bathtub drain was draining slowly, and I used a small snake to take out some hair, but it still seemed to drain slower than I though it should. Called Stride Plumbing and got in touch right away. Made an appointment for the next day. The plumber called first, arrived right on time and checked out the flow. Turned out it was normal and there was no charge for the inspection. That's rare these days, and I truly appreciate his honestly and expertise. He explained the situation to my son and gave him the option of snaking the drain but said it was not really necessary. Thanks so much!! read more

Highly recommended. Would definitely use again. Cheapest of the providers that came to give a bid (one quoted me $800!). Stride did it for just $275. When Louis did not have the correct part the first time he came, he scheduled it for after hours the next day at no extra charge. That's great service. Louis did a great job and even "snaked" out my plumbing line for free at the end of his job. Super nice of him! Louis was very kind and professional the entire time he was here. He checked for leaks and cleaned up well at the end of the job. Thanks Stride! read more

We had a running toilet for a week then added on a broken water valve next to the toilet for a constant leak. Put out a request for a plumber, originally to someone my brother used the day before and Yelp asked if I wanted to put it out to more prospects. I checked "yes." Chris was quick to respond, and honest which I appreciate in a stranger. He didn't help my brother (then I realized my original note went to all the prospects, not just his recommendation) so the fact that he addressed that and also answered my questions with a quote granted nothing else was wrong was reassuring. He was able to squeeze me in within a day. Luis came out, called ahead to confirm and let me know what job he was coming from. Great guy, taught me more about this Kohler system that I did not know which will make me a better owner haha! Great company and great employees! Thorough, educational and detail oriented. I will definitely call upon them again! Thanks Luis and Chris! read more

Excellent job! I reached out to a few plumbing services after I noticed a leak in the ceiling. Stride was by far the most helpful and affordable. I scheduled an appointment with ease and was given a 3 hour window. Louis arrived right on time. He was very courteous and professional. He explained every step of the process. He diagnosed and fixed the issue quickly. He cleaned up before he left. I would absolutely use again and recommend. read more

Man... What can I say about this company... Chris came through in the clutch as always. I have family coming to visit, I needed two new faucets and the pipes cleaned out... Both sinks smelled awful, so bad that home remedies or bleach would not work. Spoke with Chris yesterday the 14th and he came the morning of the 15th to knock it all out. These are the cats I would love to sit back and have some beers with. They are honest, down to earth good guys. You can't beat this type of quality craftsmanship; or get the feeling like your bestfriend is coming over to help you with getting some things done around the house. So here's to you Chris and Big Lou (virtual shots) cause y'all look like you're not cheap dates, lol. Enjoy the day Fellas and Chris thanks again! Also here are before and after shots! read more

Called Stride Plumbing and instantly spoke with a rep in the field who was able to quote me for an upstairs drain clogging up. He gave me best case scenario and worst case scenario options, quoted me a time, and called to confirm the the time he'd be arriving. Luis was polite, responsive and easy to work with. It turns out we had bad stoppers that were causing the blockage, but he snaked the drain once taking out the stoppers to be sure. Overall, a great experience with excellent customer service. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and neighbors. read more

An all around excellent experience. Quick to return my initial request inquiry for a quote and time frame for appointment. Received a heads up call when techs were in route to our home and arrived when estimated. Louis and his partner ( sorry dude, hubby forgot your name) were efficient, thorough and had suggestions for future maintenance to avoid this problem again. Worth every penny of the competitive cost. Highly recommend and will use again. read more

We had a slab leak last week at the beginning of Covid-19 lockdown. We called a large local company and they wanted to re pipe our whole house, sell us a clean water system and a new water heater. Thankfully, we had Chris with Stride come out on a Sunday. He was clear with his recommendation and super easy to understand. We approved the work and he was able to complete the job in 2 days like he estimated. There were a few small curveballs with RE routing the lines but he found a solution easily. It's refreshing to work with an owner operator that does quality work. Would recommend him to anyone looking to have plumbing work done that requires skill. Thank you read more

This company is one of the best I have worked with. My wife and I just bought a new house and found out we had some plumbing issues. Talked to Chris on the phone and he sent Louis out the next day! I chose this company because they were a family owned business. Louis came out and explained everything he was doing step by step. He was very thorough with his work and was extremely respectful and clean. I promise you will not go wrong with this company. I am so glad we found them and am sticking with them from here on out. Also their pricing is fair! Which makes it a little easier for me and my wife. Great work and thanks for answering all my questions Louis!! read more

We live in an older condo that has many plumbing issues. We've come to rely on Stride Plumbing. It's a small business that is honest, efficient, reasonably priced, and a pleasure to work with. My spouse was very impressed when he learned that Chris is a journeyman plumber, on our first service call. When another location was purchased for a family member, we had Stride out to make several necessary repairs & installations. Last year, we survived a major water damage to our unit. The process involved our insurance company, our HOA, and a couple of other units in our building. We were billed over $400 by a company who were contacted by the HOA. They sent two guys out, who arrived when the Stride plumber was setting up to snake the drain. They checked out a pipe in the garage, which had already been checked, agreed that we were in good hands with everything under control, and left. Stride did the work that took care of the immediate problem, charged us less, recommended a company to deal with the Water damage clean-up, and stayed with us, throughout the process to make sure we were treated well and honestly. This is why we would rather wait, when they're busy, and can't get to us immediately. Excellent customer service. THANK YOU, CHRIS! read more

*Quick response time *Honest and Accurate *Provided worse case scenario for the job Chris gave a quote for installing a hose bib replacement for a leaky faucet in the yard that has been leaking for the last 3-years. He quickly scheduled a time and showed up promptly. He gave a time frame on how long he'll need the water shut, and after gathering his equipments, he was in and out of the house, not to mention, the price was lower than what he had initially quoted us for! To guarantee his work, he told us to call him back if there's any issues. Good guy! Will definitely call him again for any home plumbing issues, and so should you!!! read more

Stride Plumbing and Drains (SPD) had been subcontracted to do some installation work (new kitchen sink, garbage disposal, dishwasher, bathroom sink, and associated water line & drainage related to those items). I wasn't home due to a conflicting Dr's appointment, so our plumber Louis, was greeted by our adult son, and between him and our General Contractor (GC), Louis was able to begin work installing the above listed items. I returned home 45 mins after his arrival. Louis confirmed all the items to be installed relayed by our GC, and provided a status update on everything he began workin on. Louis was careful to not disturb both installed and uninstalled cabinets scattered about our kitchen due to our remodel. He made as little disruptions as possible (as my wife works from home and is constantly on conference calls or virtual meetings and was just around the corner). Louis completed as much as he could with the unfinished remodeling work still to be done. He'll return to finish day 2 of 2 when he installs our bathroom vanity sink. Louis was very tidy during all his work and cleaned all debris upon completion. He also hauled away our appliance shipping boxes and styrofoam afterwards. We look forward to him returning to wrap up the installation of our vanity. We wouldn't look any further the next time we need a plumber, we'll be sure to call SPD for all future plumbing needs. If you want a professional, honest, high quality, and reasonably priced plumber, look no further than Stride Plumbing and Drains. You won't be disappointed, in fact, you'll be an instant fan of this small plumbing business. read more

We called Stride Plumbing and spoke with Chris who is the owner, a few days ago to install two toilets. Not only was he very informative when asked questions, he returned phone calls within a timely manner. I also appreciated the fact that he was transparent about the cost of the toilets, and his labor. He also offered if we wanted to buy our own toilets he was install them as well. Chris is well educated and a very knowledgeable about what he does. He also had our toilets removed and replaced within a few hours and cleaned up after himself. A few years ago this company installed a water heater for us, and just has before they do excellent work. I highly recommend Stride Plumbing and Drains. read more

i had a leak from my water heater last saturday and was barely able to temporarily repair it before i jumped on yelp to look for a plumber. Stride plumbing responded fast to my phone call and they were able to fit me in on Monday and even arrived early with great communication. New water heater in and cant wait to recommend him to anyone who needs plumbing help read more

Chris was very friendly and honest. He was very knowledgeable and was able to figure out my problem by how I described it over the phone to him. Once he got there he said that he didn't need to replace my ball-vale since it was still working good. So we liked that he was honest and helped save us money. He just replaced the pressure regulator and was fast and it seemed to have fixed are issue. read more

Louis was professional, very knowledgable, and cared about his finished product. He also toke care to follow the covid protocals. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. Thanks Louis for a job well done. read more

I had my shower spout break so I looked Stride up on Yelp. Chris took my call wanting pics of my shower to match the replacement parts as close as he could. My big home.was built in 1960 so it needs TLC. Upon my return from Kaiser with a diagnosis of possible cancer, Chris showed up with parts and repaired my problem and another I had with that shower. Showed him a second bathroom where I had drain issues and he fixed that as well. Before he left he passed along words of encouragement. I was just tickled to have my shower back in working order. But I found a keeper of a plumber for the next time. read more

We called on a Saturday afternoon with a clogged kitchen sink. After trying to solve it ourselves we figured out we'd need professional and Chris answered between jobs to say he could come the next morning. He immediately gave a quote over the phone (very reasonable compared to our previous plumber) and told us we could save money if we were willing to wait until Monday but since that didn't work for us he set an appt for Sunday morning. Come Sunday morning, Chris called and texted to make sure we still needed him to come out and arrived within 20 min of appt time after we confirmed. He solved the issue within about 20 min, cleaned up the work site and was totally professional about everything. He answered all of our questions and made recommendations to keep our pipes in good shape. He's our go-to plumber now! read more
