What Our Customers Say
Five-star reviews from neighbors we have served around San Diego County.
We have had issues with another company to get work done not only that but was being charged a ridiculous amount of money for a job that we thought was a supposed be a fast paced job. Came across Done Right and Juan showed up on time! He was ready to assess our current situation and next day called us with his estimated cost. One day later came back with one of his guys and bam two days later everything was done. Literally his company name says it all. We are super happy with the work, customer service, friendly staff (Silvia), and their employees. Highly recommend this company!
They are very responsive. I called in the morning and they were able to fit me in the afternoon. It turn out the problem was huge that it would take a whole day and fixed it. Both Juan and Jesus were friendly, considerate, the price was reasonable and quality of service was excellent! I recommend them!! We will definitely use them for the future.
Done Right Drains and Plumbing provided me good service and good price. Really appreciate their excellent job. will schedule one more drain cleaning next week.
Excellent service, knowledgeable personnel, 10 on a 10 scale
I needed a plumber to check my water heater which was leaking. I messaged the Sunday night and heard from Sylvia first thing Monday morning. Juan came out to give me a quote that morning. He was very courteous, friendly and professional. By that afternoon I had his technician Jesus replacing my water heater with some assistance from Juan. Both were efficient, professional and completed the job in a timely fashion. Pricing was very reasonable. I chose this company from the fantastic reviews I read and I was not disappointed, I most definitely will use them again and refer them to friends and family!
Done Right Drains and Plumbing saved me and my house. They were able to unclogged my pipes that were deeply plugged up with roots from my trees that penetrated into the plumbing system. The other issue is that my house is so old I never knew it didn't have a clean out access for my pipes. Juan, the owner explained everything to me and really showed he cared. Juan is also a Chula Vista neighbor so it makes me happy knowing I'm supporting a local business. Plumbing is crazy expensive but they helped me out in a huge way going to step by step. Thank you Juan, Jesus, and Joe.
The plumber was professional, arrived on time, fixed the issue quickly, and provided excellent service at a fair price.
From the friendly lady that answers the phone to Jesus, the plumber that came out, our experience was excellent. Response time to quality of work, start to finish. We've now used them 3 times to replace a toilet, replace frozen faucets and cleaning out drains. I highly recommend Done Right Drains and Plumbing.
Another great experience! The response time is incredible! They answer the phone, are so polite and helpful, and Jesus came out and saved the day! His knowledge, attitude, professionalism and skills are so hard to find these days. The price was right and his recommendations for the future are really helpful. I highly recommend this company!
