AM PM Plumbing

I chose Ernesto after meeting total 4 plumbers. Others are also from Unilocal.Ernesto was very responsive and professional. He sent me a written estimation in email after seeing the site. The price was reasonable. The project turned out to be much better than what I had expected. I was selling the house and the project needs to be finished really fast, Ernesto was able to install the main water pipe without cutting the existing concrete, where the old pipe is leaking. It reduced the time from 3 days to one day and the site is super clean. He also gave me a decent discount afterwards considering the project took less of his time. Very rare! I highly recommend his work especially his working ethics.

I have been struggling to fix my bath tub drain on my own for a few days now. Each day I would try something different that I learned from youtube and each time I felt like I was making things worse. Finally I caved in and called AM PM Plumbing and Ernesto showed up in less than 30 min. He fixed everything including the leaky showers in under an hour. In and out in under 60 min was worth every penny! Did I mention he cleaned my tub? I would def call them again and would def recommend their service.

I needed some pretty basic work done, on a Saturday.
Ernesto came in early, did not charge me extra for coming in on a Saturday and got my problems fixed very quickly.
Could not recommend more highly.

I called these guys when a pipe burst and without writing a novel, here’s what you need to know:
— super responsive
— gave an exact, reliable eta
— gave an accurate cost estimate
— fixed the problem quickly and competently
— didn’t over-​charge me
I will definitely call Ernesto next time I need a plumber.

No idea how people have so many good reviews on AM PM Plumbing, but I would never recommend anyone to use their service. They were beyond terrible.
I had a toilet emergency late at night, and, yes it was great the plumber came out so late to work on it. But, he had no idea what he was doing. He brought a snake, used it, and then made my toilet overflow. No apology, just didn’t care.
Toilet overflowed with sewage on my floor, all he does is give me a used towel, tell me I owe him $ 75 because he used a snake, gave me a pair of gloves so I can clean up the mess, and said sorry I can’t fix this. I called another plumber that same night, who fixed it immediately.
These guys have no idea what they’re doing and don’t care about customer service. I recommend that everyone avoids using AM PM at all cost.

Not sure what more I can say beyond what everyone below has already said– I really cannot recommend AM PM enough! Had a 911 issue happen at 5pm which was affecting my downstairs neighbor & needed to be handled ASAP. Most of the places I called were already closed or didn’t return my call. Not only did AM PM call me back immediately, Ernesto was here w/​in about an hr & half. He fixed the problem, replaced some add’l parts that were getting worn & even caulked up my other toilet free of charge, just to be safe. And their free was totally reasonable. I’m in the midst of various house projects & I wish all the techs/​service men were as as trustworthy, responsive & honest as Ernesto!

Wow! Was able to get a same day appointment. Service was quick and super friendly. Prices were very reasonable and I was given an estimate over the phone.
The service was perfect and everything was working again within a matter of minutes.
I highly recommend this business and will not be using any other plumber again. If you have the unfortunate need for a plumber, this is who you need to call.

My family has been using Ernesto’s Plumbing service for over 15 years. Recently, we had a nasty emergency at around 9PM where water sarted seeping out of some old fixtures under the sink in the kitchen. We’d been meaning to get to that area for years but had spent our time on more pressing matters. With hope, we dialed AM PM and Ernesto picked up. He was nearby so offered to come right over. He was able to fix the problem immediately and quickly with parts he had on the truck but needed to come by the next day to make sure everything would hold. He surprised us the next day by replacing the ancient fixture with a used one for no extra cost. The truth is, when major water emergencies happen, Ernesto is you man. He doesn’t mind working emergencies, he is very fair about price, he alerts you to what is about to blow next time or soon and if you use him exclusively, he does little preventive things as he sees them. He also takes the time to SHOW you what is wrong and explain why things need either a minor tweak or total replacement. If Ernesto can’t safely fix something and leave with a clear conscience, he will tell you and that has saved us a lot of heartache over previous attempts as using handymen who jury-​rug a minor problem which soon becomes a catastrophe.
Another reason I trust Ernesto is past experience. We had a water heater EXPLODE on us a few years back. It was a big job and expensive. Ernesto came in on time and on budget, getting us a far more efficient unit and saving us from another day without hot water. We should have called him FIRST but we called this local Handyman who left us hanging for 2 days without hot water. We learned after this incident that calling Ernesto first will get you a fair price and nearly immediate service. If he can’t be there right away or do a big job ASAP, he can usually give you a reasonable time frame of hours or less than a day.
Overall, he’s done about 10 major repairs for us. He’s polite, professional, well-​qualified and most importantly, his repairs have, to date, never needed any further attention. He’s saved us from at least 2 floods of nearly biblical proportions and prevented some major failures just waiting to blow by pointing them out and scheduling a time-​table of repairs according to budget. Call him! And remember, the time to call is before your in a flood. providing you can. Floods don’t bother him, so call him if you have a flood as well. :-)

I’ve never been able to find a good plumber. And none of my friends know any good plumbers either. When my water heater broke, I decided to search for a plumber on Unilocal.AM PM Plumbing had lots of good reviews, so I thought, why not, I’ll give them a try. I’m sooooo happy I did! I’ve finally found a great plumber! Ernesto was amazing, he did everything he said he would, he was punctual and tidy and courteous and did an excellent job. I can’t say enough good things about him. I will definitely call him again for my plumbing needs. And I will recommend him to all my friends. I recommend him to all of you reading this review! Thank you Ernesto, and thank you Unilocal for making it easy for me to find a great plumber! :)

Ernesto came and unblocked a toilet, and changed a fill valve and tube to give more flushing pressure. He have me a discount because I thought the price was a little expensive as it includes a «travel fee» and I am only a few minutes away so he wanted me to be happy. He charged me $ 150, about $ 35 for parts so $ 115 in labor.
He was very professional, put on booties to not get the floor dirty, and cleaned up after making a tiny mess. He worked quickly and did a great job. Very happy and would use him again when needed.

Once again… AM PM saved the day… our washing machine started spewing water because the drain was clogged… on a Saturday afternoon. Ernesto was busy at another job… sent Damian… staking his career on how good and capable Damian is. SOOOO Happy. He fixed the problem and cleaned up everything (another thing I love about this company)!
If you’re in need of a plumber… give Ernesto a buzz!!!

The Good: Ernesto picked up his phone, was very communicative, his guy showed up on time, and he fixed the faucet in 10 minutes.
The Bad: They wanted $ 130 for 10 minutes of work. I was pretty shocked by the price and asked him why it was so much money for such a quick fix. His reply was that I lived in an expensive neighborhood and that they also charge for travel time. Their business address in West Hollywood is maybe 2 miles away from our house. I get that they need to have a minimum service call charge and I would have been happy to pay $ 50, but I found this to be much too expensive for the 10 minute fix. I ended up paying $ 80 cash, which I still feel was too much.

Called AM PM Plumber at 8:40PM. He was here by 9:40PM. Very nice, polite and respectful. Unclogged my kitchen sink in about 25mins. He even took out the trash!
I wish I could give 6 stars.

After many years of city living and dealing with lots of plumbers, Ernesto was far and away the best. On the night I moved into my new apartment, the pipe leading to the shower head broke clean off. Sweaty and tired from the move, I called Ernesto at 11pm. He said the repair would be quite noisy, and he’d be there first thing in the morning. Also, he gave me a price quote (which ended up being the actual price) right over the phone, before I even agreed to have him come out. He was totally honest throughout the entire experience.
The next morning, Ernesto came a few minutes early. He took his shoes off when entering my apartment and went to check out the problem. When he needed to see the backside of the wall where the pipe was, we went over to my neighbor’s apartment. Keeping in mind that my neighbor is 80-​something-​years-​old and speaks only Russian, Ernesto was calm and kind as he explained (mostly through hand gestures) that he was going to be doing work and making a bit of noise next door. My neighbor was reassured, and so was I.
Ernesto got to work, and not fifteen minutes later, I had a brand new pipe and working shower. He even installed the replacement shower head I bought. To top it off, he cleaned up completely after himself, leaving the bathroom tidier than it was before he arrived. Finally, he gave me his card and instructed me to have my building manager call him so that he could explain the situation — basically, Ernesto would let them know that the pipe break wasn’t my fault, as it was old, decaying, and in need of repair. This way, they would cover the cost, rather than having it come out of my pocket.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Ernesto is not only a great plumber, but more than likely he’s an amazing human being. Kind, honest, and soft-​spoken. I would give AM/​PM Plumbing a hundred stars if I could.

Ernesto came and saved the day again. He was available to come within an hour of calling, and fixed a broken copper line quickly and did a perfect job.
Last year it was a water heater replacement, and he was just as quick and helpful. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

I was extremely happy with Ernesto and his team. They came out and installed a new water heater at a great price .They really helped my new first time home-​buyer out. They kept their word, were fast and professional. I was very happy with their service and so was my client. Would definitely use them again.

I feel compelled to add that Ernest not only came back when he said he would
to repair a small mishap, but that he did an excellent job-​beyond the call of
repair duty. DID YOU READ what I just wrote: HE CAME BACK WHEN HE
SAID HE WOULD and did what had to be done! This doesn’t make up for
my pipes seeming to break like a house of cards (one after the other), but
as I told him, I may have lost my handyman (who could not complete the job
Erenest had to come out on Saturday to finish) but i found a plumber-​an
amazing plumber!

I have to report that I had a very poor experience with AM PM Plumbing and would never recommend anyone to use their services.
I found Ernesto to be very dishonest in many respects. First, his estimate for work after inspecting a water leak in my unit was for $ 270 to punch through some drywall to locate the leak and $ 500‑1000 to repair.
He came and started punching holes in walls and located the leak exactly where he had thought it would be and doing the exact work he anticipated he would need to. But, here’s the kicker… he almost doubled the charge to me saying it was $ 500 even though he quoted me $ 270 two days before. I argued with him but he would only reduce his bill to $ 470.
On top of that his estimate of $ 500-​$ 1000 was also a lie because he wanted to charge me $ 2,470 for the repair even though the leak was EXACTLY where he thought it would be.
Ernesto and his helper also left halfway through the job for over two hours to «go get some supplies.» When I called him later he told me he went to another job and would be back shortly. The supplies he came back with was a used roll of duct tape.
At that point, I informed Ernesto that I might have to use someone else to do the repair. He said okay, packed his things, duct taped over a big hole he made in stucco on the outside of the building and left with my check for $ 470. Needless to say, duct tape doesnt stick to stucco so I have an exposed hole in my wall.
I would not rely on his «20 years of experience.» The only thing I would compliment him on is his quick response to phone calls (but he answers calls while working on jobs and apparently leaves to take other jobs). Ridiculous.

Called on a Sunday around 3PM after my amateur skills had failed to make any improvement on a complete clog in our kitchen. He arrived at 5PM, fixed the kitchen mess so we had him sort out our slow flowing bathroom sink as well, which required replacement of the trap and some other parts due to years of nasty gunk build up. All done and cleaned up by 6:30, with very clean, courteous service.
All you could want from a plumbing service at reasonable prices. Almost hate to post here as I don’t want them to become so popular you can’t call them over on a Sunday afternoon again.

Wow — an ethical and honest plumber — I did’t think these guys existed any more. I contacted AMPM and Ernesto came to my house after I had received a ridiculous estimate from GeorgeBrazil and kicked them to the curb.
Ernesto is exactly what I needed. Honest, upfront, professional and showed up on time. He could not fix my problem himself because he deals more with internal house plumbing, but he sent out an associate of his who specializes w/​outdoor-​home sprinkler systems.
Next time I have any plumbing issues, I know who I’m calling. See my review for George Brazil plumbing, if you want the full story on this, cuz I don’t feel like re-​writing that tale here.
