No dispatcher, no rotating crew, no subcontractors. When you call Rikardo & Partner Plumbing and Heating, you get straight talk — on the phone, in the diagnosis, and on the job.
Every system, dialed in
From a dripping faucet to a dead boiler in January, these are the calls that come in most — and the ones I'm equipped to close out in a single visit whenever possible.
Tank and tankless units, diagnosed and replaced or repaired the same visit when parts allow.
Seasonal tune-ups, no-heat emergencies, and full boiler replacements for gas and oil systems.
Slow and blocked drains cleared with cable and hydro-jetting equipment, kitchen to main line.
Hidden slab and wall leaks located without unnecessary demolition, then sealed for good.
Corroded galvanized and copper lines replaced, section by section or as a full repipe.
Sinks, toilets, faucets, and shower valves installed or swapped with a clean, tested finish.
Old-building steam and hot-water radiator systems balanced, bled, and kept running through winter.
Burst pipes and no-heat calls don't wait for business hours, so I answer them when they happen.
If it's in this territory, I can get to it — most calls same-day, emergencies dispatched immediately.
Verified feedback from real jobs, straight from Thumbtack — not hand-picked testimonials.

Rikardo & Partner Plumbing and Heating is a one-contractor operation by design. Every estimate, every repair, and every follow-up call comes from the same person — so nothing gets lost between the office and the job site, because there isn't one.
That means fewer surprises: the price you're quoted is the price you pay, the technician who diagnoses the problem is the one who fixes it, and if something comes up after the job, you're calling the person who already knows your system.
Send over the details and I'll call you back — usually within the hour during the day, and right away for emergencies.
