“Ruben and John were here Thursday and did a super job installing a new shutoff valve and water supply line to the toilet. They were very courteous and professional and explained everything they were doing to me. They also made some adjustments to a sink stopper and got it operational again. As on a another service call a couple of months, they again provided excellent service! It's comforting to know that we can depend on Ruben's Plumbing Services for our plumbing needs. We have recommended you guys to a lot of our friends and neighbors. Keep up the great work!”

“Ruben & his team are the most professional that I've ever encountered. These plumbers know what they're doing & they do such great work. I'll definitely recommend this business to all my friends & family.”

“Ruben's is my go to. So kind, knowledgeable and well priced. They installed a whole home Rhino Max filtration system to replace an outdated water softener. Start to finish they were excellent. I originally had them over to tell me if the softener was even working. They explained why it was not doing anything but wasting water and electricity because it was on bypass. They explained exactly why, and what we could do to replace it. They gave me several options and let me choose the one for my budget. With zero pressure. They do what they say, show up on time, give great service, and well priced. What else could I need?”

“Called Ruben's plumbing, told them my problem. Fix it the same day I called. Price, work cleanup was excellent 👌”

“Have been using Ruben’s for 13 years. Always professional, courteous and on-time. Slab leak this time. Tricky to diagnose and needed to open walls. But, extremely clean cuts in order to make drywall easier and less costly. Thank you thank you.”

“Ruben did the plumbing on a complete remodel at our house a couple of years ago. He and his crew did such an excellent job that we called him back to replace our old water heater. He did a great job on the water heater, even showing me how to do registration. I trust Ruben with all of my plumbing needs. He is professional, trustworthy, and prompt. We will call that company for future issues too.”

“My contractor was installing a new tub in an old house. When the cast iron drain broke, it caused the project to come to a standstill until it could be repaired. I contacted Ruben's plumbing and they had Ruben come out the next day. I was called when he was on his way. He gave me the price before work started and explained what the best and worst cases could be. He was prompt, courteous, efficient and highly skilled. My problem was solved within 24 hours thanks to Ruben's plumbing. I'm very happy with the work they did.”

“Great guy showed up and diagnosed the problem quickly and got the parts on order that were needed to fix my water heater problem. Highly recommend Ruben and his team as they were very friendly in the phone and in person.”

“Rubens Plumbing is a great family business. They responded to my sense of urgency with patience and reassurance and got the job done in a jiffy. Recommended.”

“Ruben diagnosed the problem quickly and provided a quote within hours. Septic pipe needed to be dug up and raised to allow water to flow. A big job. He and his crew arrived on time and completed the job in a half day. Ruben checked repeatedly to make sure all was in working order. The digging crew put everything back the way it was before they arrived. Will definitely call them in future. Highly recommend.”
