Jose is awesome. I’d never call anyone but him. He has replumbed our entire home, installed new toilets, put in a tankless water heater, etc. He understood everything perfectly and did everything just right. We loved him so much, when we purchased a second home in Arrowhead, we called him. He did all the work for us there, too. He’s just a good guy. Not corporate; his own boss. He does it well and does it right.

I was at first hesitant to call for a plumber out of neighbor2neighbor, but it was a good experience and I’m glad I did. Jose has done a few jobs for me and I only have great things to say about him! He is prompt, technically sound and nice to deal with. I am happy all-around with his work and will use him again. For me, Real Plumbers has worked in a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a laundry room in two different condos in the Century City area. He does quality work at a fair market price. I have worked with a lot of plumbers who are not very accommodating. Jose is not like that. He is very patient, he answers his phone and he returns calls. Everything about Jose is good!

Mr. Cabrales has done several jobs for me at an apartment that I own. He is always reliable, dependable and knowledgeable. He has given me helpful suggestions over a long term basis. I think his prices are in the ballpark with other plumbers. José has always done a good job. I would recommend him to anybody.

I found Jose in neighbor2neighbor and have used him ever since. They have been extremely responsive. Jose is a soft-spoken, gentle man and very approachable, easy to communicate with. I feel very comfortable with him. I’m one of those people that really like nice people. I also like that Jose started out as a plumber in high school, has been a plumber ever since and has stayed current with the times. He and his crew are true and honest as humans and as professionals. They have given us good advice and helped us solve multiple bathroom issues. I’m happy to have someone to trust that I can call over and over again. Before Real Plumbers, I had other plumbers do work for us. Obviously I did not call them again. If Jose does not have what he needs for a job, he does the research and takes care of it. He has the experience and expertise that makes me feel comfortable.

I found Jose in Neighbor2neighbor. I have used him for two years now. We find Jose reliable, extremely friendly and very fairly priced. He comes when he says he will come, cleans up after his work and it looks the same as before he came. He fixed our kitchen faucet, a clogged drain and he chose and replaced our bathroom sink. He did the legwork and that was a big help. He saw what we had, went out and found the perfect sink! We used a lot of different plumbers before Jose. I have recommended him to our friends. He is very easy to reach. When I call him, even if he is on another job, he will answer and tell me when he will get back to me.

I like to refer Jose because he is honest. I just give him the key to my house and I can leave and trust him. I have worked with him for fifteen years now. I have referred him to a lot of my friends in the French community. He will frankly say if he can do a job or not. He is a hard worker and not afraid to get dirty; he will do any dirty job. And he is not afraid to break up concrete, either. On weekends, if he is not available, he always has back up guys on hand. He is a polite, articulate, good guy. I can look him in the eye. If he can work with me on a price, he will. He saved me a lot of money by installing a tankless water heater. I see a difference in my bills every month!

I have used Jose for ten years for various levels of plumbing—from unclogging the sink to a bathroom remodel. We will sing the praises of Jose for as long as we can! He is really honest—a lovely human being. At times he hasn’t charged us because it was something really simple, like re-hooking the chain in the toilet. Jose is gracious and kind. He is extremely fair with pricing. He is always very conscientious and cleans up after himself. We have such an intense level of trust in Jose that we have left him in the house alone. That’s how much we value him.

We were using the same plumber for 20 years, but he sold his business. The new owner gave me the runaround. I feel more confident when I deal directly with the owner of a business, like Jose. Jose comes when he says he will and takes care of the problem. He is very calm and wonderful to have around. He cleans up so you can’t even tell he was here!
- Judy Page, Rancho Park

We used to hire the big plumbing companies but switched to Jose. His prices are better and he is always available when I need him! He cleans up after himself, too. Jose has solved at least 3 or 4 of the usual plumbing crises for us—toilets, showers, sinks. He is reliable and professional. I am happy to know I finally have a plumber I can count on!

I have a funny story about Jose – I was referred to him through Peachhead, an on-line parents network. I had an appointment to meet him at my house for a serious plumbing leak, but I was running late and I was worried he might have to leave. I had such an impression over the phone of Jose’s trustworthiness (usually I never do this) that I called him up and told him how to get in the house and please go ahead and try to solve the problem. He called me back in five minutes to tell me he had fixed the problem and asked me if I needed any other service on the house. I told him that, in fact, I had another problem at a different address and he went ahead to the new address and solved that problem too! I mean, this guy is unbelievable! I’ve used him many times since. He’s such a warm, open and honest person, you can’t believe there is such good service in this day and time. I’ve recommended him many times, and people always thank me and tell me what a great contractor he is.

I absolutely adore Jose – he’s the type of plumber that brings a relaxed presence into the home and the feeling that you are not being intruded upon. Jose is completely trustworthy – in fact we leave our keys with him so he can get in when we are out. He's put in water heaters and dealt with every kind of general plumbing issue. We also remodeled a bathroom and he handled everything related to that project. Jose is such an honest, hardworking guy. He's very prompt and is always able to get to you pretty quickly. I belong to a number of groups, and I'm always plugging Jose as a reference for anybody looking for a great plumber. I've had tons of positive feedback from these friends about how much they like Jose and his employees.

Jose has done a lot of repair work for us in our home: new garbage disposal, blocked drain, installing new faucets. I’ve used him at least twenty times and all my neighbors use him too. I like Jose’s employees – very nice and trustworthy. I have no problem with leaving the house when they’re here because I completely trust them. Jose comes almost immediately – including Sundays - when I call, and if there is some reason he cannot come immediately, he always calls another plumber he knows that can help us in our time frame. I always feel like he values our business and feels concern for our situation. That’s rare.
