Plumbing
20 miles from downtown of West Hills, CA

If you are looking for the absolute cheapest plumber in Los Angeles, you can stop reading here. But I imagine if you are a homeowner, “cheap” isn’t your top priority. I imagine you’d rather pay a small premium to have the job done right by true professionals.
For us it was someone who – first and foremost – did fantastic work and treated the job as if they were working on their own home. And we got that from Ford’s.
When we moved into our house, we knew there was a mishmash of piping underneath. Galvanized mixed with copper supply lines, and ABS mixed with cast iron and clay sewer lines.
Finally after several backups in our drain (that cost $250 each to clear), as well as massively reduced water pressure (and our fixtures getting clogged and ruined) due to the galvanized corrosion, we knew we had to basically re-plumb our whole house. It was a major job.
While some people that came out to give an estimate didn’t even crawl under the home, Luis (who came out for the original bid) climbed under and took photos and measurements. Then Robert the owner came back and worked with us for over an hour to create a comprehensive plan that not only fixed our current issues but planned ahead for future upgrades that we want to do to our house, which include moving the kitchen to the rear of the house, and adding a bathroom. We also added a whole-house water treatment system, added a pressure regulator at the street, and epoxy-lined the sewer drain all the way out to the street connection.
Robert and his team were nice people, great communicators, easy to work with, honest, and fair.
Upon completion of the water supply line replacement, they also went through every fixture in the house to make sure they all were working properly, and they didn’t leave until everything was right. They even stayed late on the 6th day of work (a weekend) to finish the job so we could take shower that night. It was much appreciated.
Their time estimate was also accurate. They said 8 days and it took 8 days.
It was great to be able to trust the people working on our house to do it the right way and it was reassuring to have the same people that came out to give the estimates be the same ones doing the work (too many places have a great salesman come out to give the bid, and then send some random person back to do the work).
We still have to replace our hot water heater and add some piping when we remodel our kitchen — and we’ll definitely be giving Robert and Ford’s plumbing a call for that job...“ Show more
