I recently had the pleasure of working with 1st Choice Plumbing, and I can confidently say that their exceptional customer service and outstanding professionalism set them apart from the rest. From the moment I contacted them, their team demonstrated remarkable timeliness, promptly addressing my plumbing issues and ensuring that every detail was handled with care.One of the standout aspects of my experience was working with Matt, who showcased phenomenal ability in working with clients. He not only achieved excellent results but also managed the complexities of my insurance claim with ease. We had a large and complicated kitchen repair and restoration job that required a lot of planning and effort as well as liaising with multiple insurance agents. Matts clear communication and meticulous attention to detail ensured that the process was smooth and stress-free.In terms of value, 1st Choice Plumbing services are competitively priced, offering excellent value without compromising on quality. The teams reliability was evident from their consistent follow-ups and commitment to ensuring that the job was done right the first time. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Overall, I highly recommend 1st Choice Plumbing for anyone in need of reliable and professional plumbing services.

1st Choice Plumbing was quick to come for a pex pipe leak that I had. The twin brothers were proficient and fair in pricing the repair. Its a local small business in Oceanside that knows how to serve locals.

Matt and Michael are the absolute best! Patient, very communicative and hardworking. They’ve worked on our plumbing on multiple occasions. Got the job done in a timely manner and went above and beyond. I would recommend them to all of my friends and family! 5 stars!

Michael came to my house for a small job. Fortunately, he found another problem that was out of my view, but obvious to him. He was able to fix both projects in less than an hour and the additional cost for the second fix was more than reasonable.Ive had 1st Choice Plumbing at my home for work in the past and Im always happy to see them.

Not only is 1st Choice Plumbing the best plumbing company Ive dealt with, they are the best company I have ever dealt with. I needed the entire houses plumbing to be repiped. I contacted five different plumbing companies, narrowed it down to two, and went with 1st Choice Plumbing due to my gut after meeting all the companies, and 1st Choices bid was the only one that clearly defined all work to be done and all the costs involved. Fernando Rojas, (1st Choice Plumbing) from his first visit to my home, to the completion of all the work, is the ultimate professional in making sure everything was done exactly as explained to me, and in the work proposal, with excellent follow-up. Every part of the house where they needed to work from the floor to the furniture was covered, and when the job was done, they cleaned up everything. The two plumbers working on the house repipe, Jaime and Francisco did an excellent job, and it was quite obvious they take a lot of pride in their work. They were timely, professional and their work ethic was outstanding. I couldnt be happier, and I highly recommend 1st Choice plumbing!!!!

Its hard to find genuine honest individuals who actually believe in great customer service and quality of work. 1st Choice explained the issue, provided a quick solution, and ensure the price was right compared to other service providers. I recently had my water heater replaced and they made sure all of the same qualities I was used to was met. I then had a water pipe break just yesterday, they were on site in a couple hours and had the issue resolved before I was home from work. They gave me a great deal and once again exceeded my expectations. If you want fast service, quality of work, honesty, and a company that stands by their work I would highly recommend 1st choice plumbing.

As with most service businesses, you get a window, for the appointment, i understand there may be a delay but when that window closes and you find yourself chasing down a rep for answers, break out your blood pressure meds....but not with 1st Choice, you get people you can count on. when there was going to be a slight delay, Michael Rojas communicated and kept me informed, the tech arrived as promised and did a great job installing my sensor activated kitchen faucet and rain shower head and wand, ensuring the quality of work done. Yep, 1st Choice is an appropriate company name, quality of their work and reliability! Definitely my 1st Choice.

I had a broken pipe in my home on the second floor that was leaking down into the second floor and kitchen. When many other plumbing companies could not get out in a timely manner (1-4hrs) 1st choice plumbing did. Matt and his crew showed up quickly fixed the leak and did not overcharge. My upstairs bath was ruined by water damage as well as part of the roof in my kitchen. 1st Choice Plumbing was able to help and professionally remodeled my bathroom and kitchen area. Everything they touched looks better than when it started and again reasonable prices. If you want a respectful team of people to get the job done at a fair price I 100% recommend these guys. You will not be disappointed.

We came home to water in our garage yesterday. Problem: Broken water heater. Apparently getting 14 years from our old one was good. I researched online, looked at some website and had a number of plumbers come by with for an estimate. We selected 1st Choice Plumbing. There service was great. We are delighted. The price was fair...way lower than the highest bids and they are knowledgable. I didnt feel weird about having them in our home. They did a great job and explained everything. Great Professionals, fair price, they didnt cut corners and nice people.

Just used these guys to install a brand new air conditioning system. They were on point from the time we called for a quote until the job was done. We looked at other companies and got other quotes, but the fact that this is a local family owned and operated business could not be overlooked. When we called for a quote we got an immediate response and Matt came out on the scheduled day on time. Their quote was very reasonable and when we confirmed with them that we wanted to move forward they provided a definitive beginning and end date for the project. When it came time to install our system, they arrived on time as scheduled and got to work. Everything went smoothly and they even stayed late to finish the job on time. Their work product was top notch. Not only did they install the AC unit but they also redid our ducts. Matt took the time to explain how the system worked and answered all my questions. When our intake/return grate started rattling a couple days later as a result of the new system (not their fault) Matt came out immediately and came up with a simple fix at no charge. Its rare to find a service company that truly cares about their customers but I feel that First Choice truly does. Skip the hassle of dealing with other flaky untrustworthy companies and give these guys a call.

Michael Rojas and his team are as good as it gets when it comes to plumbing and restoration work. They are extremely thorough, professional, reliable, and affordable. They have me as a customer for life...

I have been using 1st Choice Plumbing Heating and Air for several years now. They are extremely reliable, responsive and knowledgeable. They follow through on matters as well. Most recently I had them replace a water heater. They priced out the options and explained the pros and cons. I had already done research on my options and they were spot on. They truly are the best plumbers in town.

Review 13 (2017-06-06 - Rating: 5)
No one wants to have water leaking from a toilet on a Saturday night. Not us, not our Property Manager, not our owners, and not the first four-24/7 plumbers we called. 1st Choice Plumbing not only answered the phone at 10 pm on a Saturday night, but they committed to being here and fixing our issues within 45 minutes. And sure enough, in 40 minutes Michael Rojas showed up with his 1st Choice Plumbing work truck. Mr. Rojas was really friendly, knowledgeable, and had our toilet fixed, the valved replaced, and water flow returned to our home after being shut off for 12 hours. He literally saved the day, at night, by himself. What a great outfit!! Next time, 1st Choice Plumbing WILL actually be my first choice, and not my fifth...shame on me!!

Review 14 (2016-03-07 - Rating: 5)
You wont find a plumbing company that even comes close to 1st Choice Plumbing!!! We found them when they started their company four years ago when we had a major leak. There isnt anything Matt, Michael and their team cant handle - from immediate repair to renovation to insurance adjustors - and they are TIDY - we didnt need to vacate while repairs were made!!! Their immediate response and professional demeanor made us feel completely confident in the midst of a disaster. Weve subsequently called them for minor repairs on our other residence and without hesitation 1st Choice Plumbing is THE BEST!!!!

Review 15 (2016-07-08 - Rating: 5)
We used another heating & air company and they charged me for 2 hours labor and didnt even fix the problem of the blower fan constantly running. Matt from 1st Choice was on time and was able to diagnose and get the issue fixed in no time at all. Matt was courteous and knowledgeable. I will not hesitate using 1st Choice for any of my plumbing/heating/air needs.

Review 16 (2023-07-29 - Rating: 5)
I have had a leak situation which I had called for urgent service which Michael did. He diagnosed the problem and I’ve used him again to do a leak detection. He’s replaced a sink faucet and various other things. I highly recommend this company and they are my go to plumbers!

Review 17 (2019-11-27 - Rating: 5)
We would highly recommend 1st Choice Plumbing for any and all of your plumbing needs. They recently installed a heating air conditioning system and a tankless water heater. The entire process was handled very professionally. Michael, Matthew and staff are great. Having recently moved to the area, we are thrilled to have found such a great company!

Review 18 (2016-03-26 - Rating: 5)
When we puchased a fifty year old home we knew we were going to have to add air conditioning. 1st. Choice Plumbing was the most resonable bid we received and we are very happy we went with them. They installed a new furnace and air conditioner and doing so in a home that was not ready for AC was no small task. Matt and his crew were professional; and competent; and knew what had to be done.They performed the work on time and left the work areas neat and clean each day. They also got the permits and arranged for the final inspection where the inspector commented on how well they did the job.As a result of their work we had then clean out a blocked sewer drain and install 2 new faucets. And again; all completed on time and done with high quality. I strongly recommend 1st. Choice for any plumbing needs.

Review 19 (2017-08-17 - Rating: 5)
I was one day away from the completion of the sale of my home and the air conditioner needed help. i contacted 1st Choice and they sent a technician early the next day. He was able to fix the problem in time for the sale of the house to be completed. I recommend 1st Choice Plumbing without hesitation.

Review 20 (2018-09-28 - Rating: 5)
Absolutely the best! Everyone is so nice and efficient! Michael and Wayne took special care of my brand new shower and fixed my hot water problem and pressure issues quickly and efficiently. Wayne even showed up early and was so polite. I will never use any other plumbers!

Review 21 (2017-10-09 - Rating: 5)
Needed to have a hot water heater replaced. Called Friday, installed on Sunday. All done according to my schedule. They provided everything needed. No additional Sunday/emergency fee paid. Tech was Will and he was amazing. Very polite, on time, professional, explained every detail, asked if I had questions and made sure I had everything I needed before he left. Highly recommend 1st Choice and Will.

Broken hot water line in slab. Called 1sr Choice at 4 PM after quick review of Yelp comments and Matt and Michael at the house within an hour.Repairs required rerouting line for kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Scheduled for a Saturday and had hot water back on by end of that day.Crew led by Arturo were professional, polite and protected work space throughout the project. Would recommend them without hesitation.

Top notch outfit. They have been to my house several times and have excelled at their service and repairs from Air Condition to pipe leaks. Michael is always on time and friendly. Quality work and highly professional.

Review 24 (2017-04-24 - Rating: 5)
Michael helped my family out in a pretty desperate situation. We came home from vacation to find a leak in our kitchen that destroyed our kitchen cabinets and disrupted pretty much everything. We ended up rerouting several other water lines to prevent future disasters. 1st Choice was prompt, efficient and Michael was really great to work with. I highly recommend them!

Review 25 (2017-12-23 - Rating: 5)
I am so happy I called 1st Choice! I had a heating system emergency. Matt came out the day I called and trouble shot the unit. My 1970s system had finally reached its end of life. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and relable. He installed a new heating system including AC within a week. I am an extremely satisfied customer and recommend Matt and 1st Choice without hesitation!

Review 26 (2015-12-06 - Rating: 5)
Michael came out to help me with a new kitchen faucet and disposal in a very old house. the ten year old faucet seized up when he removed it - it took a lot of skilland knowledge. I have older double stainless sink. Michael brought a new faucet,which when installed and tested - he declared it defective. The new disposal installwent well. Michael came back after Thanksgiving with a new chrome faucet [ceramiccartridge]. He installed it and I love it. Michael is reassuring and very nice to work with.He is more knowledgeable then any other plumber I have used.He will be coming back to re-secure my upper furnace materials. I would have used 1st choice four years ago when I had a major root and pipe blockage.The HOA required me to use anothercompany per my, reimbursement.I will insist on Michael R. at 1st Choice from now on.

Matt and his team are amazing they are always professional and go above and beyond for their clients. We had a slab leak and I know we could not have gotten through it with them. I will definitely refer everyone I know to them. Bathroom and Master Bedroom are absolutely stunning.

Had a leaky copper pipe under the home, they were able to come within an hour, and had it repaired less than 30 min. Great service and courtesy! Thanks for being able to come out quickly because water was turned off. If your looking for a plummer look no further!

I had an appointment between 3 and 5 in the afternoon, then had to take my sick dog to vet, but 1st Choice worked around it. Joshua came to fix my leak and was very professional and courteous. He explained the reason for my leak and fixed it within a few minutes. i will call 1st Choice again with my next plumbing problem. Joshua is an excellent asset to your company.

Jamie was our plumber. He came to the house on time, was very polite, and did a great job installing a new shower drain and a new shower value. I have used 1st Choice previously and will always use them for all of my plumbing needs!

Review 32 (2017-07-13 - Rating: 5)
The serviceman (Mathew) arrived as scheduled; someone even called thirty minutes prior to confirm the serviceman was in route. Matthew checked the thermostat opened the unit to check the compressor; put a couple of electrical leads on a few switches to determine how much power was flowing; then flipped the switch on the main power box and proceeded to check the temperature and the house immediately began to cool... He wrote me a receipt for service... Great work!!!

Review 33 (2019-05-02 - Rating: 5)
Not only was the quote they gave us for a tankless water heater over $1000 less than another company, but they installed it quickly, they were very professional and even recommended a local electrician who was great and installed a new box for us on a Sunday! Well never use anyone else but team at 1st Choice!

These folks were great. Fernando gave me a bid, next day they showed up & cleared my drains. Fair pricing, reliable and good workmanship. I like doing business with local companies that are family owned and these guys are on my A List for future needs.

Nice people in the office and on the job. Was very easy to get a plumber on the job in a very timely manner. Matthew Rojas led a team of three performing a water tank removal and replacement. Matthew was very knowledgeable and efficient, and I would definitely ask for him if I need any plumbing services in the future. Great job and thanks again!

Ive used 1st Choice Plumbing on several occasions. Ive been meaning to write a review since 1st Choice Plumbing saved the day for me last Thanksgiving. Unknown to me, my water heater which is on the second floor had been leaking for sometime. Here is was Thanksgiving and I had family in town and I saw water was leaking onto the lower level. I called 1st Choice Plumbing and they were at my house in less than an hour. They stopped the leak and started the process to dry out my condo. Unfortunately, water had damaged many walls and some walls and cabinets had to be removed. They helped me through the insurance process and made me comfortable that things were being cared for as they should be. They were always on time, polite, and the work was well done. Today Matt and Ryan were here to replace two leaky faucets and change angle stops under the sinks. A glitch occurred when it was decided that I needed new sinks. I obtained those and they were able to replace them without damaging the counter tops. They left my bathroom spotless. They wore covers over their shoes so they wouldnt damage my floors. Id recommend 1st Choice Plumbing to anyone in need of regular plumbing, heating and especially someone experiencing water damage. I live in a condo development that has lots of water damage issues and everyone speaks highly of this company.

When I discovered a slab leak, I did not know where to turn. A neighbor recommended 1st Choice Plumbing. Matt came out shortly after I called. He was friendly, calm, honest, and clear in describing the problems and options. He assessed the situation, and provided a price. That was the price I paid. No add ons, or hidden fees. He told me what needed to be done, with a specific plan to go about doing the repairs. When he ran into an unexpected roadblock, he provided the options, and we talked about the best solution. No hassles, no surprises. The work was done in a timely manner. They put up dust barriers and floor protection to keep down the mess, and cleaned up everything after they were done. He also replaced the regulator and main house shutoff, and it looks like a work of art. He even replaced an outside spigot off of the main, and the washing machine shutoffs to eliminate possible leaks from old, corroded fixtures. No extra charge.Jackie in then office would call to keep me informed of the timeframe for Matts arrival. She was very nice, and helpful.His team was friendly, and worked hard and efficiently.There are a lot of plumbing companies out there. 1st Choice Plumbing is the folks I will call, if another need arises.
