Gallegos Plumbing

What an excellent job Will Barton did installing my water heater! I believe Gallego’s gave me a fair price and Will explained the whole process as well as the items at time of installation. This company is lucky to have such a talented and likable employee! 5 stars from me- and I will be calling them for any future plumbers.

Gallegos Plumbing is a greedy, unscrupulous predatory plumbing company that should be excised from the Ventura business community and its employees incarcerated in prison for criminal fraud. If you are elderly, female, live in the Pierpont area or are otherwise a trusting individual BEWARE because Gallegos will prey on you like a pack of wild hyneas ripping, shredding and tearing apart you house until it will be unrecognizable and unlivable. UNDISPUTED FACTS: On December 11, 2025 my wife contacted Gallegos for assessment and proper repair of a clogged toilet in our two bedroom, ONE BATHROOM house on Cornwall Lane. A Gallegos employee names Javier subsequently appeared at our residence and "apparently" tried to clear the clog by allegedly running a snake. After much falderal he declared that the closet bend was collapsed and that jackhammering the foundation immediately under the toilet, removing and replacing the so-called closet bend would properly fix the clogged toilet issue. The exact, verbatim language used by Javier taken directly from Gallegos invoice # 56459: "After attempting to clear we noticed that the line was nearly collapsed or extremely congested with paper due to severe scale build up. A closet bend repair was recommended to restore flow to the toilet. Everything else in the bathroom was working properly." Solely based on Gallegos' employee's expert plumbing assessment and recommendation, we agreed to the suggested closet bend repair. On Saturday, December 13, 2025, a different Gallegos employee named Christian appeared at our residence, jackhammered a rectangular shaped hole in our foundation precisely where our toilet used to reside and cut out this alleged "offending" closet bend. Lo and behold, not surprisingly, there was nothing wrong with the closet bend that had been just removed by Christian! It became immediately apparent that we were now the victims of an intentional, well-crafted and executed scheme to defraud by Gallegos that included multiple employees of Gallegos over several days, using specialty, obscure plumbing terms, etc., all with the specific design to render our house unlivable. To date, neither Jarrod Gallegos, nor anyone else from Gallegos Plumbing has ever done anything to "make it right". At no time has anyone from Gallegos Plumbing ever offered to restore our ONE BATHROOM to a "pre-Gallegos" condition by simply replacing the closet bend that was unnecessarily removed, repairing our foundation and re-installing our toilet. To date, Gallegos is still attempting to collect money for work never performed. Moreover, despite numerous written correspondences sent directly to each of the owners of Gallegos Plumbing, Jarrod Gallegos, Mark Gallegos and Julie Gallegos, no one from Gallegos has reached out to resolve this ongoing dispute. Their admittedly negligent conduct and abject failure to make any attempt at a reasonable resolution has prompted a Complaint to be filed against Gallegos Plumbing with the California State Contractor's Licensing Board, Complaint Number SF 2025012289, for investigation and, hopefully, criminal prosecution. Finally, yes, our plumbing issue was resolved by another Ventura based plumbing company and that work was properly accomplished entirely from outside the residence (with the exception of having to re-do the completely unnecessary and destructive plumbing work done inside the house by Gallegos, as mentioned in detail infra). DO NOT BECOME ANOTHER GALLEGOS VICTIM! They are a greedy, predatory plumbing company and a blight on the Ventura business community.

Every detail I asked about was taken care of. Abdul was very customer oriented. Gallegos Plumbing did a complete removal of all my 61 year old cast iron piping. Replaced with ABS and everything went as I was told. They said it would start on Monday and be done on Friday. It was completed on Friday as promised.

5 Stars – Excellent Experience from Start to Finish We recently hired Gallegos Plumbing for a full repipe and water heater installation, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Jordan Gobbell, our initial technician, set the tone. He was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He really listened to our needs, explained our options clearly, and gave us the time to make an informed decision — which made us feel confident moving forward. Anthony handled the water heater installation and did an excellent job. He worked quickly and efficiently, and the finished work was spotless. The repipe crew — Fernando, Diego, and Noe — were just as impressive. They repiped our entire house in two days, using high-quality materials and keeping everything clean and organized throughout the process. Of course, no job goes perfectly. During the repipe, our shower handle broke and a small section of drywall cracked. Gallegos immediately offered to make it right — they gave us a credit for the drywall and sent JR to fix the shower handle. JR not only fixed it but also went out of his way to resolve another issue we mentioned with our faucet hose we noticed after the repipe. Here’s my advice: do your homework, get at least three quotes, and make sure one of them is from Gallegos. In our experience, they treat customers fairly, do clean, professional work, use quality materials, and the pricing is fair. Highly recommend.
