I had CVB Plumbing come out to repair my water heater and the guy they sent showed up with a bad attitude. When he got out of his truck and saw me he's like, can I help you? It through me off and I said your here to look at my water heater. Just arrogant, after looking at my water, he said he had to call his office with the price and get back to me. Strange how he could not just give me a price so I could just approve the work. By the time they called me I told him to just leave. I found another company with nice guys to fix it the same day for less.

Since they installed the tankless water heater in the house I just bought, I called CVB about a basic repair. Jay returned my call promptly and suggested that I call my home warranty company. That's exactly what I did. Great, honest advice. Look forward to using CVB for my future plumbing needs.

We had a leak under the sink & needed to replace a faucet. I heard about CVB through SD Skates Hockey. I called on Monday & set an appt for Friday. On Thursday, John called said he had an opening an was there within the hour. Repair took less than an hour. Very reasonable, quick, thorough & high quality of work. Thank you.

I cannot tell you what a pleasant experience it was to have CVB plumbing handle our propane piping job. Jay came out and checked where the line needed to be moved. He said he would be back today at 9 am and he was. Right at 9 am! And In Ramona. They did a great job and cheaper than the estimate. Thank you CVB plumbing. We won't use anyone else. You shouldn't either.

I recently had my bathroom countertop replaced in my rental unit and I needed a plumber who could come out and set up all of the plumbing that had been taken apart during the work. I called around to 3 different places and decided CVB was the way to go. I called and left a message for CVB Plumbing and they got back to me before the business day was over (so not really the most ideal if you are in an emergency plumbing situation). Jay was really nice and gave me a quote over the phone, and between the 3 different plumbers I had spoken to that day, he gave me the most useful information and offered the best quote.
I had gotten the recommendation from the property management company I was using, and they use him quite a bit, so they came highly recommended.
Jay arrived right when he quoted me. He did a great job of the work and was really nice and helpful. Luckily the work I needed done was pretty simple and straight forward, so I cant speak to more complex plumbing issues, but I do need some additional plumbing work in my own home, so I will be calling them again to schedule a new appointment soon. Thanks for everything!

CVB Plumbing is great! For the second time we've used them for minor repairs to an upstairs shower. Jeff is personable, professional and even takes time to play fetch with our dog in between his work tasks!! I recommend them to anyone seeking a fairly priced and knowledgeable plumbing company.

I have used Vic for years. He pretty much did the entire plumbing in our house 11 years ago, and things are still awesome. In fact today I had him and his son out to do a cleaning maintenance flush on the tankless water heater they installed 11 years ago. It is still working amazing, and so is the rest of the house. Vic is a great guy to work with and I'm so glad someone recommended him for my plumbing needs years ago! Awesome.

I heard about Jay through a friend and asked for an estimate to replace old full spin shower knobs for my laundry room washer with standard 1/4 turns. Jay provided an estimate for a single visit (more work for the drywaller) and a two-visit (stubbing out initially and returning when the drywall was done). Both estimates were reasonably priced, and much more affordable than I'd been quoted on several other local companies.
Not only did he do an excellent job, but he was happy to look at other issues in the house and give his opinion and provide ballpark estimates. And on top of it, since I'd spent the time and effort to remove the drywall in preparation for his visit, he didn't charge me what he'd estimated, as he said his estimate had included time for removing the drywall. His honesty is refreshing -- he could have easily charged me the extra money as it wasn't discussed in our emails. I will definitely be calling Jay for any future plumbing needs. Thanks, CVB Plumbing and Jay! Job well done!

AWESOME plumbing company. Very reliable, professional and work ethics are tops! Overall job quality is great. The plumber, Jeff, was on time, did not dilly-dally and got the job done right the first time. Highly recommended! Their goal to "simply be the best" is not without merit - they are simply the best!

Vic from CVB Plumbing was very knowledgeable, helpful and cooperative. We've had our tankless water heater for a couple weeks now and we are very happy with it. If I have any other HVAC or plumbing needs, I'll call CVB Plumbing first.

It is my pleasure to post a review for our partners at CVB Plumbing. My family has owned and operated a 200+ unit Apartment Community in east San Diego County for over 30 years. CVB Plumbing has been servicing our plumbing needs for over 20 of those years. Our business philosophy is to partner with quality, reliable, and trustworthy vendors sharing our same principals and values. Quality and pricing are important, but aren't always the bottom line when we choose to partner with a vendor. CVB delivers with quality and price, but its their experience, knowledge, and openness that sets them apart from the others. They understand our side of the business. They focus on whats best for their customer.

CVB fixed my pluming issues but left my bathroom an utter mess tracking drywall and dirt through my house. I spent an hour sweeping, mopping and wiping down everything! Not what I wanted to come home to after a day of work.

Absolutely top notch company. Knowledgeable, ethical, reliable the absolute best. Jay is the go to guy for emergency intrusions or a plain old service call. Prices are always fair he has been a preferred vendor with my property management company for over 10 years and brings double that and then some with his experience.

I just had a new gas line installed by CVB and Jay did great work and was very helpful and explained things. He also fixed a couple of leaky valves we had for our washing machine. This was the second time I called CVB and both jobs were done fine. My only downgrade is that you need to go through an answering service to reach them and so communication was a little split up as I was submitting my own drawings to the City for the permit. Emailing did help.
Everything worked out ok in the end though. I would call them again. (And he came and gave me a free estimate for the gas line too. other places wanted to charge to come out and see what had to be done to install the gas line).

I was very pleased - Explained my options, which helped me decide what was right for me ( I went with a standard water heater). He showed up when he said he would, finished the job in the time he had estimated. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
