Used their website to schedule a service, they called right away to schedule an arrival time for the next day

Excellent service and work. [I only give 5 stars for well above expectations. This is not a downgrade.] I have called them routinely for my Plumbing repair needs for over years. The last service call was to repair a job done poorly by the Contractor who built my house. They diagnosed the problem, explained the solution, and did the work promptly and in a very workmanlike fashion. Previous to that they did a water heater replacement and explained to me why repairing a leak by the water heater would be a waste of time. They are my go-to plumber.

We have had Dolcini Plumbing repair and replace facets, garbage disposals, bathtub fixtures, and lastly, our water heater. In each case, they were prompt and professional. Calls were always returned and the staff who repaired or replaced plumbing items arrived on time and cleaned up after the work was completed. In all of our interactions, the work was performed on time and in a cost effective manner. We appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to doing things the right way.

Every time we need them, they come and fix our problems---garbage disposal, toilet issues, hot water replacement, faucet replacements in the bathroom and shower head. Since they are local, honest, and efficient, if we need a recommendation for another person in the trades, we always check with them first.

I walked out in the garage to find hot hot hot steaming water spewing out of the TPR valve on my water heater during my lunch break (hurray for working at home!). I called Dolcini and got there answering machine since they close for lunch. However, at 1:20 I got a call back and they were able to get me on the schedule for the next day (since it was a bit of mess in my garage) and said they'd see if anyone finished early and could still come by today. Thankfully Jared was able to come by and quickly confirmed it was a bad TPR valve and replaced it.

He was patient with my MANY questions and made sure I was comfortable with the repair before he left. It took maybe an hour? My old landlord had told me to use Dolcini, so with this first plumbing issue in my own home, I knew who to call and I am pleased with the outcome.

Dolcini Plumbing is a great company. I emailed late Monday night because of a leaking outdoor faucet that I could not turn off. Jared was out the next morning and replaced pipes and capped an old line. In the same email I mentioned an upstairs toilet that needed to be checked, he came Thursday for that. Excellent experience from the contact person to the plumber. I highly recommend Dolcini Plumbing!

Discovered I had a leak in the piping under my house recently and was referred to Dolcini Plumbing. It was an urgent situation and they were able to get someone out first thing the very next morning! Scheduling was very easy and the person I talked to was very helpful and friendly. Just as they said they would, they called exactly 15 minutes before arriving, and arrived promptly at the agreed upon time as well.

They were able to fix my problem in a much shorter amount of time than I was expecting and also for much less than I was anticipating. I am tremendously relieved that the problem was resolved quickly and I have my water back on again and we were able to prevent future damage or issues from the leaking pipe. Can't say enough good things about Dolcini Plumbing, they did a stellar job and it was an outstanding experience! Will absolutely use them again and refer to others!

We had our shower and toilet backup, I went under the house to snake it and managed to undo a sewer clean out that just wouldn't go back on. I called Dolcini and they had Eugene out a few hours later to fix it. We scheduled an appointment and he came out later to install a clean out in the front yard so we wouldn't have to go under the house anymore.

That turned out to be a heavily complicated process which they took care of without many issues. Fast forward to today, a few months later, and we noticed a smell from the shower and under the house. We found the cap under the house had popped off after the sewer had backed up again. Jason, Eugene and Jared came out to fix it within 3 hours of my call.

They secured it fully and re-snaked the sewer and showed me on the camera where the bad joint was. They took 3 of their trucks and guys out of the field to correct an issue, all free of charge. I would definitely recommend calling Dolcini for any plumbing needs!

Not so sure about this plumbing company. We recently purchased a home in Petaluma. The previous owner gave us all the contacts he used on remodeling he had done to the home which was great we thought. Dolcini was the plumber on the remodel. The bathroom water lines were swapped (left was cold, right was hot). Even the kitchen faucet was set up wrong.

The water heater did not work properly. The plumber who came was not knowledgeable about the project even though we gave him the dates the remodel work had been done and what the issues were. He never offered to fix their mistakes either. When we closed on the sale we were also told that a sewer lateral inspection report and video had been done. Yet the paid invoice does not document any of this. Expensive and lackadaisical. We for sure will not recommend them. We definitely have had better.

Totally professional and quick. I had a clog and they were able to come out right away. I am so thankful! Pricing was fair and work was performed quickly. My parents have been using Dolcini for 30+ years and have always had great things to say about their service.

We've used Dolcini for years and found them expensive but at least the job got done. This time, it was a very very small job. Stop the shower faucet from dripping, and clear out the drain. The drain clog didn't get fixed as they didn't have the part. Told me to go to Friedman's, which I reluctantly did. The parts there don't fit exactly right.

So now I have spent 3 hours of my own time to fix the job that Dolcini said they would fix, and charged me $194 for. And it's still not done. Call Dolcini? Yep, we did. All they said was they can't carry all the parts all the time, and they would have to charge me another $194 for a second trip. Bear in mind that the plumber spent 15 minutes during the service call "fixing" our problem, and 25 minutes in his van preparing the invoice.

We won't call Dolcini again. They didn't fix the problem. Half-a$$ work, telling me to go to Friedman's. Then zero customer care and compassion when we called. They could easily have sent the plumber back with the part when he was in the area. It would have taken 5 minutes tops, and we would all have been happy. Unfortunate.

Excellent contractor! They were knowledgable, prompt, immaculate, and just did a great job installing a new main line and a beautiful toilet. Jason and team communicated every step of the way and were so accommodating! Their excellent communication is so amazing, it shows true professionalism and customer service. Very fortunate to have such a great contractor in the area.

I just had Jared at my house for a double basin stoppage. When he went to clear the stoppage he found a broken pipe in the wall. His showed me the break where it was broken and how it was broken. He cleared the stoppage and repaired the broken portion of the drain pipe. He has my plumbing running as good as new. Jared is courteous, on time and polite. He is an excellent serviceman. He consulted with me before doing anything and saved me money. You need a plumber, call Dolcini Plumbing.

Third time's a charm! We had a bathtub/shower drain clogged so bad that the first two plumbers we called could not unclog it. Then came Jared from Dolcini Plumbing. He got the job done, and pretty fast too. Also, he was reasonably priced and charged us a lot less than the plumbers who couldn't get it done. Dolcini Plumbing is now on my speed dial, and they will be the first plumber I call (and hopefully the only one).

They do the job right, and you can depend of them to get it done right and on time. My only complaint, if you will, is the per hour labor charge of $160. But, they don't waste their time and focus on the job itself. We have used Dolcini many times in our 25 years in Petaluma. I would recommend Dolcini for all plumbing needs. You can tell by all the wonderful reviews (minus a few sour pusses) as it will be a happy experience.

Very responsive via yelp message, which is helpful for me given I'm usually unavailable by phone 9-5. They had availability to check out my laundry list of "what ifs" and were very professional.

I can't say enough about these guys! We had our kitchen faucet poop out last night with the water stuck running, so I shut off the water and called Dolcini first thing this morning. The person who answered the phone was very courteous and professional. I told her I wanted to get the new fixture myself from a local store and have them install it.

She told me that was fine and to just give them another call once I had the fixture. A couple hours later I called them back, fixture and hand, and was delighted to hear they could have someone out as soon as two hours later. Skip ahead, the owner Jason showed up and went straight to work. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. Adjusted a couple of other unrelated things for me at no extra charge and spent the whole time he was working talking to my 3 year old son about his tools, which he kept touching and asking what they were.

By the time he left, they were fast friends and my son was convinced her wanted to be a plumber lol. Overall, this company was professional, friendly, reasonably priced, and came out same day which was great for me. They are also locally and family owned, which makes them even better. I would refer them to anyone needing a plumber in a heartbeat.

I called Dolcini Plumbing for the second time. Eugene really knows what he's doing! Fast, thorough, and did the job in half the time I expected. I will definitely call them again next time. Nice to upgrade things before they break down and you find yourself in an emergency!

My father always used Dolcini plumbing, so it was only natural that I would. Justine is always helpful and knowledgeable and Jerrod does great work.

We had a kitchen sink that was backed up and would not drain. Called Friday morning and they gave me a window between 12:30 - 3:30. The associate (Jason) showed up right at 3:30. After about 30 minutes the problem was fixed. Jason was extremely professional, friendly and answered all of our plumbing related questions without making us feel dumb, in fact he took the time to fix a very small problem with the master bedroom sink. All and all Dolcini Plumbing exceeded my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to refer them to family and friends.

I am a single mom running a busy household. Dolcini's just finished installing a new toilet and I realized I should post: I call these guys four or five times a year. They are trustworthy, timely, considerate and most important: HONEST and SAFE. I am very hesitant whom I allow in my home. Dolcini's is simply a good company run by good folks.

I was very impressed with my first Dolcini experience. I've used another highly rated plumbing service in town twice, only to have poor follow-up on both occasions and the feeling of being "nickeled and dimed" along the way. My water heater suddenly stopped working yesterday, so I called a different highly rated plumber first and never got a call back.

I thought I'd give Dolcini a try, even though they didn't have as many Yelp reviews as the other two competitors, and I'm very pleased that I did. Eugene came out the same day I called, and was on time as promised. He was very professional and friendly, he walked me through the repair work needed with transparency on the pricing up front.

About 30 min later, my water heater worked again, I understood the repair that was done and there was no upselling or extras added to the final bill. He even recommended that I contact the manufacturer for reimbursement since the water heater was still under warranty and gave me some references for other work I needed around the house. It was more like dealing with a friend of a friend, someone looking out for my wallet, than the traditional plumber experience. Quality, reliability and honesty go a long way in my book. Plus, I like that Dolcini is a family run business in Petaluma for over 30 years. Highly recommended!
