Strongheart Plumbing

Strongheart Plumbing has helped me on 2 occasions.
Tyler came to my house both time. His work is great, he is clean and friendly, and his prices are reasonable.
The reason for the 3 star review: They’re ¹⁄₃ on timeliness and/​or follow up.
The first time I used them, showed up on time, did the work while I wasn’t home, and emailed me an invoice.
The second time I used them, they showed up several hours late due to a different plumbing emergency elsewhere.
The third time… I tried calling on three occasions to set up an estimate for a tankless water heater installation and they never got back to me.
I would recommend them for small jobs and quick emergency fixes… but I can’t really say I would recommend them for major jobs… because they never gave me a chance.

A few months ago, I would have given 6 stars. Tyler replaced my water heater at a good price. He was knowledgeable and professional. I thought I’d found my plumber for life. Then this past Christmas I had a broken toilet and family coming to stay with me. I had to call several times to get an answer, but when I did, he came out the next day and had it fixed. But since then, I left about 20 messages for a problem he had looked at and said he could fix. After 4 weeks without even a return call, I gave up and called someone else. I’m so disappointed that he didn’t even call to say he couldn’t do the job.

We had an emergency with a leaking water heater and trying to find a a good local plumber was harder than I thought it would be!
Other plumbers quoted me astronomical prices for replacing my water heater, but finally found Strongheart Plumbing. My experience with Strongheart was awesome. Tyler’s prices were extremely fair, he came on time and did the work in an efficient and professional manner. I definitely recommend Strongheart Plumbing to anyone looking for a fair prices and professional work.

Have used them a few times to repair my kitchen sink and install a new ice box behind the refrigerator. Good prices compared to other places and they were able to come out within a day or two.

It seems I am the fourth reviewer that had a no-​call no show problem.
I was reluctant to contact after seeing the previous reviews of the no-​call no show problem, however they were recommended by a friend, and I saw they had said in May that a new system was getting put in place in order to not have this situation occur again. I guess either it wasn’t implemented or it has failed.
Two stars because he was courteous on the phone, but not doing something you say you’re going to do is just no way to run a business.

I called and made an appointment for Tyler to come and look at a job at my new house. He never showed up, never called, never nothing. I waited around and wasted a lot of time.

looking for a plumber to re route lines for a old water heater to a new one in a new location. All the bids were so high, I finally found tyler at SP… called him a few times, asked him 50 questions, and he was PDP (pretty dam patient!!) so, he came out and looked at the job, and quoted me a few days later. I was going to go with another company but wanted to give him a shot since he was so patient on the phone and on site. His price was very good and it seems like the work he and his assistant did was up to par. Its only been a couple days, but I think he did a great job and I will refer him business when I can.
He got the job done in less than a day and a half when other guys were saying its a 2 to 3 day job. Hard to find a good and honest plumber, but Im hoping I found one!
Thanks Tyler!

After looking around for a plumber, Strongheart seemed like as a good a choice as any and Tyler was super friendly on the phone. I asked him point blank if he was the most reasonable plumber in the area and he said yes, and not having any knowledge of plumbing myself, I decided to trust him.
Booked an appointment, less than 24 hours later our problem was fixed — what we thought was something horrific down our garbage disposal turned out to be only a fruit pit. Tyler found it in literally about 5 seconds (how we were unable to find it is beyond me…), laughed, *didn’t charge us * and said, «Catch you next time!»
Can’t believe he didn’t charge us for the hassle of coming to a call and solving the problem, even if it was minor. It was well within his right to bill us and he just treated us like we were friends and went on his way.
Good business, that’s for sure. Understanding, reliable, and prompt to answer service calls. What more do you want? We’ll definitely be using them again.

I had a great, no hassle, experience with Strongheart. I needed a last minute faucet fix and Tyler was able to schedule me the following day. They coordinated with the HOA for water shutoff and took care of my leaky faucet in less than an hour. I’ll be using them again in the future.

I was very pleased with the work that Tyler at Strongheart performed.
My wife and I recently bought a condo in Little Italy. As we were renovating the interior, I decided to move the refrigerator (in order to better paint the kitchen). Being conscientious (and generally risk adverse) I thought it was a good idea to turn off the water shut off valve that fed the ice maker. Apparently, this valve had never been touched in the ten years since the building was built, because rather than shutting off any water flow through the valve, water began to pour through the handle. I was able to fiddle with the handle enough to get the water leak down to a slow drip, but I needed a plumber to come out as soon as possible to replace the valve. Inspecting the rest of the water valves in my condo, I also discovered that they were all of a similar style.
I began to call all of the plumbers with reasonable reviews here on Unilocal,looking for quotes to replace a total of 6 shut off valves with a newer and more robust ball valve.
What I received from Tyler, as compared to a lot of other well reviewed plumbers here on Unilocal,was a prompt response to my needed repairs and a reasonable & fair quotation.
Importantly, as this unit shares its water supply with many other units, the water shut-​off had to be coordinated with my HOA — meaning that there was a very tight window within which I needed a plumber to show up and perform the work. Kyle arrived exactly on time, quickly replaced the faulty valve, along with all of the other valves that I was concerned about.
I was very pleased with his work, and I will certainly be using Strongheart again for any other plumbing needs.

I had a wonderful experience with Strongheart Plumbing. My elderly father needed some repairs and had been procrastinating/​neglecting the situation. We realized the severity of the situation when he was in the hospital and saw the situation for ourselves…
I called Tyler at Strongheart and he was so kind and compassionate. He and his assistant Jeff came over the same day and took care of the problem right away. They were thorough and competent and most importantly, did not make me feel embarrassed about the state of the bathroom. We won’t get into details here but let’s just say these two men are real life angels.
I would not hesitate to recommend Strongheart Plumbing to any one of my friends. They are top notch. Price was reasonable and they seemed very honest.
Thank you so much!

Strongheart plumbing is awesome. I was able to make an appointment to have what looked like a leak in my kitchen sink. Tyler indicated it was the faucet and the hard water. I purchased a new faucet which was installed promptly.
Previously, I contacted Strongheart for a leak in my water heater which just needed a part tightened. There was no charge. I referred company to a co-​worker who had some plumbing work done quickly since he was selling his home. My co-​worker was more than happy with cost and customer service.
I am having company install water softener in my home. I will not contact any other company for bids.

Unilocal is fantastic. After leaving a negative review, Strongheart responded to my post, offering to amend situation. And they did. I’m pleased with the total work that the Strongheart provided, most recently working to unclog a shower drain. While I was originally frustrated with a gap in communication, I am extremely satisfied with the company’s efforts to correct their mistake.

Same day service to replace a water heater. The total cost was less than half the other bids. Tyler did what he said and that’s all I can ask! They will be the first ones I call for future plumbing needs. Don’t hesitate to call Tyler!

I rarely write reviews, but definitely wanted to write one for Strongheart Plumbing. I had an issue with my son’s toilet overflowing and his shower backing up. Despite my best plunging efforts, I couldn’t fix it and called strongheart plumbing. Of course, as luck would have it by the time he came out the problem had magically fixed itself. Tyler was very helpful and gave me advice on how to prevent the issue in the future.
He could have done work I didn’t need and charged me — I wouldn’t have known the difference. But, he didn’t. I was very pleased with the service and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again in the future. It’s always great to find someone honest that you can put your trust in to do good work. Thanks!

They were terrific, reliable, showed up when the said they would, got the job done, and the price was extremely fair. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Thank you Unilocal!I was looking for an affordable plumber in Point Loma and strong heart plumbing had amazing reviews so I gave them a try. So glad I did:))) The owner came out the same day I called and fixed my sink promptly with no hassles. Def will refer all my friends and family and will use in the future, hopefully I won’t need them to soon!

My friend recommended Strongheart Plumbing to me and they are by far the best plumbing company I’ve used since moving into my condo 3 years ago. My kitchen faucet had been leaking off and on and no other company could figure out the source of the leak. They were available to meet my schedule, fix my faucet and made me feel comfortable that they would stand behind their work. I would recommend them to my friends and family if in need of a plumbing company.

I have had nothing but problems with my shower, the water pressure was low and it seemed that my tile was springing leaks and growing mold. Basically it was a disaster. I had called around to multiple places for estimates, but all were just not in my budget and I was so nervous to go with the wrong company and get jerked around.
Finally a friend referred me to Tyler at Strongheart Plumbing and I thought, why not, so I gave him a call. He was so incredibly friendly on the phone and gave me an estimate that undercut the other places I had tried, plus I felt better knowing he was personally referred to me. He came out the very next day and accessed the situation. The pipes in the wall were leaking causing all of my problems. He said he just needed to get some parts and that he could get to work right away. It was quite a job, but now my shower is like new! He even gave me a great deal on fixing the wall and replacing the tile work. I can’t thank him enough. I can finally take a normal shower!
2 weeks later Tyler called to see how my shower was working out. What great customer service. I can’t recommend him enough.

As a home owner and living alone I was a bit hesitant to hire just anyone off the web for my remodel job as I knew I couldn’t be at home most of the time they worked at the house and well… most of my friends had really bad experiences with unreliable plumbers who typically wouldn’t show up or screwed up the job wasting everyone’s time.
When one of my clients recommended Strongheart Plumbing she simply said: hassle and worry free + expect them to work out an affordable budget or a payment plan. Perfect!
It’s been 3 months since the job was done, the owner Tyler was on the job every day making sure things go as planned. He redid my bathroom, repiped the sink in the kitchen, even fixed up water pressure issues I’ve been having…
I’m sold for life. Tyler even left a vase with beautiful flowers in my bathroom when it was all done. I couldn’t be more pleased with the remodel and will upload photos soon. Hire, trust and enjoy the results. If you need more info just email me. I’d be happy to provide more feedback.
