Christopher did an outstanding job! I reached out for a quote to replace my water heater, and he arrived at my home in Golden within just a couple of hours. The work was done quickly and at a really fair price. I had thought about buying a water heater myself from a big box store and finding someone else to install it, but having Ricardo's Plumbing LLC handle everything was definitely the better choice. They managed the whole process and even took away the old water heater for me. The whole experience was easy and stress-free. I highly recommend using this team for any plumbing work and will be calling them again for future jobs.
I had a fantastic experience with my recent plumbing service in Golden. Ryan came out to take a look at my water heater, and I was amazed by how much he knew about all things plumbing. He arrived quickly, figured out the problem right away, and took care of the repairs and a full inspection of the heater. Ryan even found and fixed a few issues that I thought were just normal for water heaters, which really impressed me. He was very straightforward about everything, and I could tell he truly cares about doing great work for his customers. Now my water heater works better and runs more quietly than ever. I’m so grateful to have hot water again! Highly recommend for anyone in Golden needing a reliable plumber.
When our main sewer line suddenly collapsed at our rental property in Golden during a busy holiday weekend, we needed help fast. Our usual plumber was not available, but this plumbing team came through for us. Howard and his crew visited several times, making sure our tenants had a temporary fix and running water while they worked on a permanent solution. They discovered and repaired some old, faulty plumbing under the house that was left by the previous owner’s plumber. The team replaced our extremely old main sewer line and took great care with our 1930s home. Their professionalism and quick response really stood out. They also took care of all the permits by coordinating with the inspector, and after finishing the job, they filled in the trench and re-cemented the driveway. Now everything looks as good as new and the driveway is smooth to park on again. With their reliable and skilled plumbing service, we’ll definitely call them again for any plumbing needs in Golden. Highly recommend for anyone looking for trustworthy plumbers!
Called and got a recording, so left a message with my name and number as requested. After 48 hours with no response, called back and again left my information, requesting a call within the next few hours. It has now 24 hours later (72 hours after my initial call) and still no response. They might perform decent work if you are deemed to be worthy but I am uncertain of their selection process.
**the best plumber in golden** brent is an exceptional plumber. he truly shines in his field. this review is just as valuable. stick with me here. a lot of brent's work comes from other plumbers when they encounter tricky jobs. that says a lot about his skills. he refers to himself as a 'technician' because he knows everything about plumbing equipment. he’s the local go-to expert for pass-through water heaters, like takagi, navien, and rinnai, which many plumbers shy away from. even though these on-demand water heaters are still relatively new in the area, brent is the only qualified plumber in golden who can handle them. he used to represent takagi, and he has extensive knowledge of other brands, too. brent came over and resolved every plumbing issue we had, big and small, all in one visit. (1) our sink faucet was always loose; it turned out to be a metric set screw, which i didn’t even know existed. (2) we had a hot water issue: he thoroughly checked every device in the house and discovered not one, but two problems, which he replaced. finally, the issue we've had since 2008 was solved! he also inspected the takagi and gave it a clean bill of health. (3) for our constantly breaking toilet seats, he brought me the best quality seat available, something i didn’t know how to identify. (4) and there’s more! for 30 years since i moved here, i’ve been let down by one plumber after another. when one plumber couldn’t fix the same issue repeatedly, i had to search for a new one. now, i don’t need to look anymore. i’ve found the master plumber i’ve always needed. it’s like having a master car mechanic, a master electrician, and a master upholstery technician all in one place. life is so much easier when you work with the best service professionals. if i ever need a new contractor, i reach out to howard and ask for the right recommendation. he sent me to brent, and i couldn’t be happier. if you ever need help in this area, don’t hesitate to reach out to a master service professional. having an expert like brent on your side is a fantastic advantage. have you ever dealt with office issues, like scheduling mistakes or no-shows? brent's office runs as smoothly as possible. i can’t say the same for many service businesses in golden, except for the few gems we finally found after years of searching.
we had a plumbing company come out to our 72-year-old home in golden to give us an estimate for relining our cast iron sewer pipes. over the years, there had been a couple of breaks and a lot of buildup in the pipes. the estimator, maxwell, arrived right on time and was both professional and friendly. he used a video scope to check out our sewer lines and explained the whole process of how they’d reline the pipes. maxwell let us know that howard, one of their top leads, would be handling the job. after a few days, we got the estimate. honestly, the cost was more than we expected at first, but after seeing all the work involved, it made sense. we agreed to the proposal and got the job scheduled. there was a small delay because another job ran late, but we understood that sometimes things happen. the crew showed up on the new date, right on time. howard introduced himself and his crew members, and everyone was very polite. they worked long days and always made sure we still had access to part of our house, even during the weekend. howard knew exactly what he was doing—he carefully cleaned out the old fragile drains and expertly relined them. you could tell he really managed his crew well and everyone took pride in their work, treating our home with a lot of respect. all the crew members worked well together and really understood the job. when we saw how detailed the whole process was and looked at the finished sewer pipes, the original price didn’t seem so bad anymore. at the end, there was a mix-up about the payment. i had asked maxwell if there was a discount for paying by check instead of credit card, and he mentioned there would be a small discount, but it wasn’t written down in the contract. after talking it over with maxwell and his manager, they honored their word and gave us the discount, which we really appreciated. great customer service! overall, we would definitely recommend this plumbing company for anyone needing sewer pipe relining in golden. if you can, ask for howard and his crew—they did a fantastic job!
Absolutely outstanding service! I had been struggling with a clogged and blocked sewer line in my basement for years. Other plumbing companies quoted me over $7,000 and $9,000, telling me I’d need to dig up the whole sewer line—one said the problem was in the back, another said it was in the front. The costs kept adding up, and I even considered selling my house because of the plumbing issues. For years, I tried to manage the problem myself, snaking and vacuuming the basement drain several times a week. I put my life on hold—no time for projects or events, and I even picked up extra work just to save for the repairs. I looked into every possible solution, even thinking about hydro jetting, but I thought nobody in the area offered it. Then, after one last search, I found a local plumber offering hydro jetting. Brent came out and completely changed everything for me. He inspected the line with his camera and found a hotel key card wedged diagonally in my sewer pipe, causing the blockage. Brent used hydro jetting with extra nozzles and pressure to blast away the clogs and even cleaned the inside of my pipes. It was amazing to watch him work—he moved quickly from one drain to another, making real progress and clearly enjoying what he does. The biggest relief was the immediate improvement—no more sewage smell in the house! Brent didn’t have to dig or replace anything, just cleaned everything perfectly. I even got to see the inside of my pipes with his camera—clean and clear, just like new. From the very first conversation, Brent was professional and communicated everything clearly. I got text reminders and he was right on time. The whole experience left me extremely happy and stress-free. If you have stubborn drain or sewer problems, hydro jetting is definitely the way to go. I highly recommend this plumber for any plumbing or drain cleaning needs. I’ll be using their services for all my future plumbing work!
Absolutely fantastic service from Ricardo's Plumbing LLC! From start to finish, I always knew what was happening and what to expect with my plumbing repairs. I first got a quote from another company for some issues with my old water heater and a leaky pipe, but their price was almost double and they kept trying to sell me on a full replacement, even though I just needed a repair. They kept pushing for a big upgrade and offered a small discount if I signed right away, which made me uncomfortable. That’s when I decided to call Ricardo's Plumbing LLC. Brent came out quickly, checked everything, and gave me a fair quote that was much less than the other company. Brent took the time to explain all my options, including repairs and replacements, and never tried to upsell me or pressure me into anything I didn’t need. I really appreciated how honest and upfront he was. After talking things over, we decided to go ahead and replace the old water heater so we wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking down during the cold Golden winters. A few days later, I woke up to find water leaking all over my garage from the old heater. I called right away, and Brent helped me over the phone to shut off the water and drain the tank. He offered to come out immediately for emergency service, but I decided to wait until the next morning to save a little money. They showed up right on time, replaced the water heater, cleaned up everything, and were done in no time. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. Later that week, they also helped us with a main line repair, again arriving on schedule and finishing the job quickly. I’m very happy with the experience. The team did exactly what they promised and treated us with respect. I highly recommend them if you need a plumber in Golden!
I recently needed a new boiler installed and got a few different quotes from plumbing companies. Even though this company wasn’t the cheapest, I noticed their customer reviews were the best, which mattered more to me. Christopher was the first plumber I spoke with—he came out to my house, took a look at the setup, and clearly explained which system, parts, and pipes would be used for the installation. He made sure I understood the whole process without using any sales pressure or scare tactics. I got the estimate by email just a few hours later. The installation itself went smoothly, even though there were a couple of small hiccups, which is understandable with a big plumbing job like this. Maxwell, Ryan, and the rest of the team who did the install were all very professional, friendly, and respectful—definitely a five-star crew! A few days after the installation, a small issue came up, but Ryan and another plumber arrived within hours of my call and fixed it right away. Since then, the heating has worked perfectly. Not long after, the team reached out to replace a thermostat that was on back order. Again, Maxwell and another plumber handled it quickly and professionally. While they were here, Maxwell also spotted a leak in a water line to my kitchen—something unrelated to the boiler—and offered to fix it. He quickly got the needed parts and had it fixed within half an hour. Everyone I dealt with, from the plumbers to the folks on the phone who helped with scheduling, was courteous and accommodating. The service was fantastic from start to finish. I’ll definitely use them again for any plumbing needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable plumber in Colorado. Five-star service all the way!
i've lived in this area for a long time and, honestly, never had much luck with plumbers before. i usually just called my regular handyman, but when i found a slab leak under my house, i knew i needed a real pro. i got a referral from someone who had helped with a water cleanup, and he highly recommended this plumbing company, saying they really care about their customers and charge fair prices. i called them up and ryan came out the same day to check things out. he explained that my hot water line needed to be re-piped because a patch repair under the slab would just end up leaking again somewhere else. he walked me through the whole process—cutting into the wall, finding the loops, and figuring out which lines needed to be replaced. ryan was upfront about the amount of work it would take, but he made sure i understood everything. as he left, ryan took detailed photos of the house to make sure nothing was missed. not long after, i received a clear and itemized quote for the re-piping job using pex. the work began just two days later, and ryan showed up right at 8am, ready to go. even though it was blazing hot outside, he worked hard and smart—he always tried to keep the wall openings as small as possible and was careful not to damage anything. he put down tarps and cleaned up as he went, even when cutting holes in the ceiling and dealing with all that insulation. by the end of the day, my hot water was back on and there were no leaks anywhere. everything was tidy and dry. devin from the company even followed up to make sure everything was still going well. i've had lots of work done on my house over the years, but ryan left my place cleaner than he found it. really happy with the whole experience!
We had a serious clog in our main sewer line that caused flooding in our basement and living area. Before finding the right plumber, we tried two other plumbing companies. The first one only spent about half an hour running a machine through the pipe to clear some roots, charged us around $300, and left. Unfortunately, our basement flooded again within the hour. That company did come back for free, but after another hour of trying the same thing, they said they couldn’t fix it that day and wanted to schedule more repairs later, which would have meant we couldn’t use water for two days. After talking with another plumbing company, they recommended I reach out to a different local plumber. I spoke with Howard, told him everything that had happened, and he managed to fit us in the same day between other appointments. He gave us a quote over the phone, then used a camera to check our pipes and found several full root blockages. Howard took the time to clear everything out and make sure the pipes were completely clean and running smoothly. He spent several hours making sure there were no more root or clogging issues. What really stood out was that Howard wasn’t in a rush—he explained everything he was doing to my wife and me, and made sure the job was done right the first time. The prices were very fair, the customer service was excellent, and the work was thorough. I’ll definitely recommend this plumber to anyone dealing with similar problems. Five stars for great service, attention to detail, and making sure our home was safe and dry again!
I had first heard of Jerrod and Royal Flush Plumbing through NextDoor. His name kept popping up. I ran into Jerrod when I saw his truck in a parking lot and approached him to say how I had heard of him and how I would be calling at some point because I had a leaky faucet. He looked at me and replied "I would love to fix your faucet!" - and, truly, he was sincere. I did end up calling him for an outside faucet issue. I reached his answering machine, left a message and he returned the call within an hour and set an appointment date and time for the next day. My husband gave him an explanation of the problem and received an oral estimate. The next day, Jerrod called about two hours before the appointment time, saying he had finished with his first client quicker than he thought and would I like him to come over early? YES! He came promptly with another employee and he inspected the faucet, the basement and assessed what equipment they needed. Equipment was purchased and they got to work. Not only did he replace the faucet, giving me one that I could actually turn off and on easily but also replaced the ELECTRICAL pipe that the previous owner had used for this water line with actual copper plumbing pipe. His total bill for the project was slightly lower than the estimate as well. I hate home improvements - especially when made because it NEEDS to be done but Jerrod made this a pleasant and painless event! I would highly recommend Royal Flush Plumbing!
Here’s a rewritten version of your review, revised to meet all the requested requirements: --- Hello to anyone looking for a trustworthy plumber! I recently had a tough plumbing problem at my home in Golden. My toilet wasn’t working for almost two weeks because the first plumber I hired just couldn’t get my new specialty toilet installed without leaks all over the floor. He tried for hours but gave up, probably because my house is older and sometimes has the usual uneven floors and tricky walls. I ended up reaching out to a local plumbing company for help, and I’m so glad I did. I explained that my custom toilet needed an experienced plumber who could handle older homes. They sent Maxwell, a master plumber with lots of experience in both new and older houses. Maxwell came out, took a close look at the situation, and got right to work. He had some clever ideas and didn’t give up, even when things got tricky with the tight bathroom space. He really knew his stuff and found the best way to get everything working perfectly. Now, my new toilet not only looks great but works flawlessly. The whole team was incredibly helpful, even doing extra research to make sure the job was done right. They really went above and beyond to turn a stressful plumbing nightmare into a dream bathroom. If you’re in Golden and need a plumber, I highly recommend calling this company. Their team is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about doing quality work. I won’t use anyone else!
I can't say enough good things about these guys! I initially got a quote from another plumbing service that suggested a huge, costly project involving tearing up all our floors and replacing pipes for a staggering amount. Instead, I did some research and discovered an incredible technique offered by a plumbing company that specializes in modern pipe lining. After learning more and meeting with their foreman and crew, we decided to go ahead with the project. On the first day, the team arrived and thoroughly prepared our home, cleaning out all the pipes. On the second day, they showed up right on time and installed two liners in our existing pipes. They took the time to explain how everything works and answered all our questions. On the third day, they added another lining and completely sanitized the work areas. They even showed us footage of the work they completed. Now, we have clean, durable pipes that should last for decades! If you have any doubts about this method or their professionalism, feel free to reach out to me for more information. We are absolutely thrilled with the owner, Maxwell, and his team. They are true professionals, and the quality of their work is outstanding. Don’t fall for the idea of completely replacing your pipes at a much higher cost. This method works wonders, and the team ensures you’re left satisfied with clean pipes for years to come. We're so grateful for this service and wish the best for Maxwell and his crew!
We had a sudden plumbing emergency when we discovered a major flood and slab leak in our downstairs area. As a young family with four little kids, this was really stressful for us, especially since plumbing problems are not something we’re familiar with. Even though my husband is pretty handy with tools and repairs, plumbing is just a whole different world. When we called for help, they quickly sent over Devin, who made us feel comfortable right away. Devin was kind, knowledgeable, and very professional. He took the time to explain everything in simple terms so we could understand what was going on, and he was so friendly with our kids, which really helped put us at ease. Devin went above and beyond—he stayed well past his normal hours to make sure things were under control and even volunteered to come back on his day off to finish the job. That level of dedication is really rare to find. What could have been a nightmare turned into a manageable situation, thanks to Devin’s hard work and caring attitude. We are so grateful for the fast response and expert service we received. The team truly made us feel supported during a tough time, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you ever need a plumber, this is the company to call! They’ve definitely earned our trust and business for years to come.
