Hester Plumbing

We found out there was a broken pipe under the kitchen slab when the tiles below our feet became hot. When we looked under the kitchen sink, there was damage to the drywall. The insurance company declined to cover the damage saying that it must have been there for more than seven days even though we had immediately called for help when the floor heated up. Hester Plumbing was recommended by several parents at our children’s school. Marty Hester gave a very fair estimate for the work which involved rerouting the hot water pipe from the water heater in the garage to the kitchen. He also recommended a contractor to cut out the damaged drywall and cabinets. Marty and his wonderful workers completed the work in one day. They were professional, reliable, kind and neat! While they were there, they fixed a couple of additional things without charging for the labor. We highly recommend Hester Plumbing and are grateful to have found a trustworthy plumber who does not take advantage of people when they have an emergency. This is a plumber with a conscience and a heart!

Marty and his team are fantastic! Marty got back to me first think the next business day from when I had original called and was able to come an hr. After texting with him. Our bathroom sink is back to normal!
Marty was a very nice and honest guy and we will definetly use him for any plumbing work and would definitely recommend him as well!

These guys are amazing! I had an issue with our kitchen sinks drain leaking all over our kitchen and they were able to make it out that same day and fixed it perfectly. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest plumber!

We used Hester plumbing to replace our hot water heater and snake a drain. We were very impressed with everything they did! The prices were great and we couldn’t be happier with everything they did. Great company! Very impressed ! Highly recommend them!

We’ve used Marty for two jobs and couldn’t be happier. He came out to do an estimate to move our cold water supply line in the attic so we could install a whole house. He looked it over and made a couple recommendations to our original idea to improve water pressure. NO OTHER PLUMBER made a recommendation except Marty (recommended 45 degree angles to pipes instead of 90). If other plumbers knew it could reduce water pressure why didn’t they say anything? He also changed our front shut off valve in the same trip. Put down tarp to hold the dirt they dug, cleaned up everything when they were done.
Second job was on a weekend and a pipe developed a pin-​hole leak in the attic above the kitchen. Mike Diamond kept calling and pushing back their arrival so I got ahold of Marty who rushed right over and quickly fixed this. All while I was trying to BBQ with friends over. I will call Marty for EVERY plumbing job from now on and have recommended him to several friends who love him!
USE THIS GUY HE IS GREAT!

Marty is awesome. We had a remodel and he did all of the new plumbing and was great. His work was on time and reasonably priced. He has also done various other repairs for me and is very honest and keeps his word.

When my mom died unexpectedly, I found myself overwhelmed with all there was to do. My mom’s leaking kitchen faucet was low on the priority list, but was getting worse each day. This was one tangible «To Do» that I could cross off my list without the need to make any important decisions. But, I lived 450 miles away, so I had no idea who to call that wouldn’t take advantage of the situation and would do the job right. I called my mom’s church and was given this name/​number and was told that he was a trustworthy person who I could count on to help me. He came within hours and found the issue quickly. Any other person could easily have replaced the entire unit for hundreds of dollars and I would not have been the wiser. But, this guy finds one small rubber piece that was worn and replaced it for me, charging me VERY little. I was so grateful for his kindness & honesty that I started to cry (poor guy!) But, I’ll tell you, even then he didn’t patronize me, he remained completely professional & empathized with me without involving himself in the drama of the circumstance. How often have you felt validated by your plumber? It has now been about 6 months since this happened, and I just came across a tear-​stained note that I wrote to myself to make sure and leave feedback on Unilocal.Anyways, I obviously appreciate him on that personal & subjective level, but can recommend him objectively. He is honest, knowledgeable, organized & professional. If I lived in Simi Valley, I would never call anyone else.
