I'm beyond impressed with the exceptional service I received from Thrifty Plumbing and I can honestly say they've won me over as a lifelong customer! From the very first call to the completed job, every step of the process exceeded my expectations, and I can't recommend them highly enough. One of the things that really set Thrifty Plumbing apart from the competition was their incredible transparency. I was a bit skeptical when I initially called, because most of the plumbing companies I contacted insisted on sending someone out to inspect the site before giving me a quote. But when I my bid request want sent to Thrifty Plumbing, they messaged me a quote--no inspection needed. I was taken aback because it felt like such a rare level of trust and confidence. Sure enough, the quote I received was $350, which was significantly lower than the $680 and higher estimates I got from other companies for the same job. I was already impressed by their straightforwardness and transparency. When Mike, the owner, arrived to do the work, I knew I had made the right choice. Mike is an absolute professional. He took the time to walk me through the entire process. It was clear that he wasn't just there to do the installation but also to ensure I fully understood what needed to be done. This is something I've never experienced before with other contractors, and it really made me feel at ease. Mike's work is impeccable--he's truly a master at what he does. The quality of his craftsmanship was immediately evident. He approached the job with meticulous care, making sure everything was done to the highest standard. He didn't rush through it or try to take shortcuts, which was reassuring to see. It's obvious that Mike and his team at Thrifty Plumbing take pride in the work they do. It's not just about getting the job done; it's about doing it right. And let me just say, the job was done quickly and efficiently. No mess, no hidden charges--everything was just as they had quoted. I was also pleasantly surprised by how clean and organized they were throughout the job. It's always a relief when a contractor respects your space and leaves things as they found them. To reiterate, the best part was the total cost and value received. While most of the other plumbers I contacted were trying to sell me on unnecessary services or inflating their prices, Thrifty Plumbing stuck to their word. As I said, the job was completed for just $350--far below what I would have paid with any other company. For the level of skill, quality, and professionalism Mike provided, I honestly feel like I got more than my money's worth. Another key thing I appreciated was how transparent they were about potential future issues. Mike took the time to point out some minor things I could keep an eye on in the future, but he wasn't trying to upsell me on unnecessary repairs. It was refreshing to work with a company that was focused on providing value rather than padding the bill. That level of honesty and integrity is something I truly respect. After seeing Mike's incredible work and the quality of service from Thrifty Plumbing, I can confidently say I'll be using them for all my future plumbing needs. I won't be calling anyone else again. Whether it's a small repair or a big project, I know I can trust them to get the job done right, on time, and at a price that won't break the bank. I've already recommended Thrifty Plumbing to my family and friends, and I'll continue to do so without hesitation. If you're looking for a plumbing company that offers top-tier workmanship, unbeatable value, and complete transparency, look no further than Thrifty Plumbing. Mike and his team are the real deal, and I'm so glad I found them! read more

Thrifty Plumbing - Soft water hose bib installed by Mike, of Thrifty Plumbing. - Plumbing Near Me - Riverbank, California

Mike did a great job replacing our garbage disposal with a new one. Fast and professional. Good price and he charged the same amount from the estimate he gave. He called when he was on the way and arrived on schedule. Definitely would recommend! They also do remodeling so I will be calling them again soon to replace my kitchen countertops and kitchen sink. Thanks again Mike! read more

ALL my water pipes started SHAKING at 5 PM. Scared the beejeezus out of me. I was sure my pipes were blowing up. I put out a Yelp request to some local plumbers while I tried to assess the problem. YouTube solutions didn't work. Thrifty was the first to get back to me and I know they weren't too far from my place. He told me what he suspected the problem was and a phone call later he assured me that my house was not exploding and I just had to turn the water off to that toilet. (And then he talked me through how to do that!) He set up a time from 10-1 the next day and was here at 10 AM on the dot. He thought it was one problem but that wasn't it so had to do a different fix. He only charged me for the parts he used and the hour of work. They were in and out in under 27 minutes. And they tightened the valve on the way out to stop the slow leak that I started when I was shutting the water on and off yesterday trying to solve the problem. He takes cash, card, and check. I only wish they would send an on the way text or ask if you want one because I was also coordinating something else. Good value and quick to calm down all my anxious nattering. Attention to detail and made sure all my questions were answered. I'll update if my house starts exploding again. read more

Thrifty Plumbing was prompt, polite, and right-priced. Taze was very nice (even my cat liked him). He was also efficient. Well done, thank you! read more

These guys were awesome from beginning to end. We had a leak in our upstairs shower drain, the came opened up the ceiling beneath the shower and assess the problem provided the proper solution and then got to work after our approval. They took care of everything from the leak to the patching of the drywall. And you can't even tell where the patch is. Absolute pros. Thank you for taking care of our home. read more

Over the past 15+years Mike Weed has helped us at our Knights Ferry property with a wide range of plumbing issues. Fixed leaking pipes, replaced an electric water heater (while installing this he corrected the electrical panel), and most recently Mike and David replaced the very old and tree rooted sewer pipe and replaced the toilet. Always showed up on time, resolved the issues to our satisfaction and charged a fair price for quality work. Always excellent. Highly recommend Thrifty Plumbing. read more

Just recently had Mike fix my toilet and he couldn't have been nicer. I called early in the morning, and he was able to come out the following day! Wouldn't hesitate to use Thrifty plumbing again! He also went to my nieces house the same day, and he fixed her issue with her dishwasher and leak under the kitchen sink. Great guy, and he made 2 ladies very happy that day!! Edith Tucci read more

We had someone come out to check our plumbing before hooking anything up. We were able to schedule an appointment within a day.

First thank you Yelp for helping me find Thrifty Plumbing. I had put a request out to plumbers in Modesto. Being new and a home owner here, I had NO idea what the problem with my sink was. We stupidly thought youtube would help, but we couldn't figure it out. Someone and I don't want to shame anyone oversealed the pipe under our kitchen sink because he thought it was cracked. In reality, our sink was clogged and needed a good cleaning in the pipes. After someone finally let me call Thrifty (and Thrifty being the most recent reply from the plumbers) we got an appointment in for Monday. Mike, a calm and efficient man, was able to figure this out right away. I wasn't there, during the service as I was working but my mother was there and let me know he came in and fixed/cleaned everything within the hour. Thank you Mike, and your wonderful team who was very sweet on the phone as well! As I will no longer try to do things on my own and I sure won't let someone else in the house try either, we will be calling Thrifty! We will be doing some remodeling and I will leave it to the professional when it comes to the pipes :) read more

Called in a Saturday and they were able to come out first thing Monday morning. Excellent service and quick installation of the faucet. Started leaking about an hour after the technician left. Called and they responded within 20 minutes. Everything fixed and working. Highly recommend!! Very competitive pricing! read more

Thrifty plumbing was able to take care of an issue I thought I could fix (and couldn't). Thank you very much. Prompt service and very informative. read more

Father and son came out to quote replacement of the hot water valve under the bathroom sink. The townhouse water turn off valve was also broken and said that would be hundreds of dollars to replace. So the next step was to turn off the main water to the complex. He said it would take hours (which he would charge to sit here- confirmed by his daughter at the office) for EVERY unit to drain before he could work on it. I had the water turned off by the water company, replaced the valve (ACE hardware that he also said was defective and I needed to buy his) and got the water back on...all in ONE HOUR. I hate men that try to rip off women. Everything he said was BS. read more

My bathrooms desperately needed to be remodeled And My dads's bathroom also needed to be made safer for him to use. I contacted Thrifty plumbing and they came right out to give an estimate and a week later the first bathroom was being remodeled. Ryan was so easy to work with. I told him basically what I wanted and he came up with fantastic suggestions and design choices. Communication was fantastic, I was kept informed of any changes to the schedule. Everything came out beyond my expectations. I would hire Ryan and his crew again in a second. read more

I worked with Taze on a leak. He was super knowledgeable and did high quality work to solve the issue.

Mike and team were extremely responsive and professional. Everything from setting up the appointment, to calling ahead and completing the work.He came and calmed my nerves a bit since I was expecting the worst, then proceeded to check the issue. Turns out it was a easier fix than I imagined. He walked me through the process and kept me in the loop the whole time. Thank you so much! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Definitely the best plumber in our county! I would 100% recommend Mike of Thrifty Plumbing! I called multiple plumbers to fix my leaky shower/tub faucets and install a bidet in one of my house toilets. Mike came with his adult son Ed and finished the jobs excellently. After the agreed tasks, I realized I have a leaky issue on my upstairs toilet. Mike did not hesitate to fix the issue on the spot. Additionally, he did not charge me so much. Absolutely a thrifty plumber who lives to its name. Mike is a very knowledgeable plumber and professional, and prices are fair. I trust them from now on to do all our plumbing needs. Thank you THRIFTY Plumbing for exceeding my expectations. I encourage everyone...don't waste your time, start with the best. read more

Another great interaction with this company! So grateful for their knowledgeable staff!

Mike the owner is one of the best I have ever found. Very knowledgeable. Key factor is he is a plumber and business owner who cares about every customer. He is not a sales guy that wants to charge you beyond your budget. The hot water heater install was 30 minutes and I'm pretty sure he could have done it blind folded and faster. I'll be a repeat customer for life. read more

They did a great job they were on time very professional very reasonable price I would use them again

I had Thrifty Plumbing come out last Wednesday to fix a leaking water pipe behind my bathroom wall. He had the leak fixed in 45 minutes and gave me a bathtub water spout that I needed but didn't even ask for. The cost was minimal. I expected to pay 3 times the amount. I couldn't have asked for a better job. You can't go wrong with Thrifty Plumbing. read more

He came on time, fixed my faucet in the kitchen and he put In my new toilet for downstairs bathroom, I'm very happy

I used Thrifty plumbing 2 times this month for leaky pipe under my sink and in a separate visit for a reverse osmosis unit installation. Mike was prompt and very fair with pricing. Making a convenient appointment was easy and his daughter does an amazing job too at setting up the schedule. I'm very happy with Mike's work. Will definitely use him again. Highly recommend!

We had some major plumbing problems in our single bathroom. My landlord said these guys do a great job everytime she uses them, she trusts their work. And boy was she right! These guys came out the next day to start fixing the problem. The problem was so bad that it ended in a partial bathroom remodel. They were able to fix the issue right away and did an amazing job on the remodel. Thanks to Ryan's immaculate renovation work and attention to detail, our bathroom looks a thousand times better than it did before they arrived. They were very respectful and considerate to me, my property, and the house. I would recommend them to everyone with any type of plumbing or sewage problem! read more

* 5 stars - Service requested - was completed as expected * 5 stars - Quality- quality of work was as expected * 5 stars - Value - very reasonable compared to other plumbing companies. Very communicative with what they were expecting to fix , after further review he noticed that it was an error from the other plumber so the issue was not that involved as originally thought. This was very professional of him verse telling me something else and trying to bill me for work that was not needed. I would definitely call this company back to perform work for me again. read more

They came earlier than expected. I new the kitchen faucet was going to be a "beast" to remove and it was. It had to be cut out to finally get the new one placed. Great patience on their part. Thanks again. read more

We have used them two times in the past year and they are fantastic to work with and are up front about the costs. I would highly recommend them! read more

We bought an older home in Dec 2021 and knew we needed some updates. We wanted to remodel our master bathroom and contacted Thrifty plumbing. Mike, the owner, came out pretty quickly to give us a quote on the job. He was quick and thorough and knows what he's doing. We were impressed with his knowledge and pricing to do the job. We hired them and they started our project quickly, even with it being end of December! Mike and all of his team were quick, professional and very knowledgeable at their jobs. They are very direct and explain everything they're doing, even if they encounter an issue. They don't take short cuts and make sure their work is done well. We greatly appreciated that. While remodeling the bathroom, we had a feeling the house plumbing pipes could be bad and we asked them to replace all the pipes while they were under the house. They were happy to add on the job and did it all in one day with a team of people. We were impressed how well they all worked and did the job well. Everyone we encountered were professional and friendly. They take pride in their work and want to make their customers happy. They also love dogs and would say hi to our pups, who wanted to play with them. The dogs were always happy to see them each morning! BIG Thank you again to everyone at Thrifty for the awesome work!!! read more
