History

Established in 1956.

Ronald Knight Sr. first started plumbing in 1947 doing new construction in the L.A. and Palm Springs area. In 1956 Sr. decided it was time to go in business himself and established R.K. Knight Plumbing. In 1980 «Sr.‘s son Ronald Knight Jr. decided to follow his fathers’ foot steps and join the company. After many years of loving his family and working hard to provide them with a great life Sr passed way in 2007. Today Ronald Jr. is joined by his two oldest sons Ronnie III and Randy to keep this family tradition alive. Ronnie III is the general manager while Randy is one the highly trained technicians. To complete this small family business is Jody the office manager and Joseph and Lou the other two technicians.

I actually took over this business from my father who took over for his father. I loved being able to go to work and meet new people and listen to their unique stories. It always made me feel good to be able to help someone with a problem that they weren’t expecting. And on top of that to meet someone who knew me as a little kid working with my grandpa is a feeling not many people get to experience. I knew that my dad and grandpa were very respected people in our community and in this industry and I just knew it was something that I wanted to be as well

R.K. Knight is a reliable plumbing service.
The company has worked on my plumbing
and installed a new garbage disposal in the last two months. Their employees are professional and knowledgeable. I found their prices to be fair. I plan to use the company for all my plumbing needs. Their response time was prompt.

Once again, this is my go-​to company for plumbing needs. I called only minutes before closing last friday with a severe stoppage that i needed to have cleared. I knew it was a long shot to have them make it out, but, i thought I’d give it a try anyhow. Needless to say, Ronnie made it happen. I figured he’d be bitter when he arrived, considering it was last minute on a friday, but, like always, he was very polite, understanding, and there to fix the issue as needed. They haven’t failed me yet. Thanks guys!

We were impressed from the moment Randy Knight walked into our Friendly Hills home. The first thing he did was to put surgical booties over his shoes to protect outer floors. He was very upfront about his fees and set expectations. We had an area in the back that needed a new valve and I asked if it was possible to anchor a pipe to the block wall. Randy’s answer was «Everything is possible.» They completed the job on time and with great care and quality. R K Knight is highly recommended. They will be our «go to» for life.

I called the company at 10:00am and spoke to someone who was friendly. I explained that I needed my issue taken care of that day. They set up an appointment at 2:00pm that same day. The plumber came out, was friendly, and even wore coverings over his work shoes so he wouldn’t damage my floor. They gave me a fair estimate and completed the work within 3 hours that same day for the price they had quoted me. I would most definitely call them again!!!

My mom is a loyal customer of RK Knight and has been for years. As a new homeowner, I have had a few minor plumbing issues pop up and I have called the larger chain companies that advertise their great deals everywhere, assuming they were cheaper than this mom and pop company. Big mistake. They fix your issue, charge double what they advertise and try to sell you a ton of other services. So when I found a pipe leaking under my kitchen sink I finally gave in and listened to my mother. Within an hour a very clean, professional, and friendly plumber was at my house. Within seconds he diagnosed the problem and fixed it for far less than I was expecting to pay. Not only did he NOT try to sell me other products and services I didn’t ask for, he told me the really expensive repair one of the chain companies said I needed was not necessary. When someone is honest with me that is the key to earning my business. I am now a loyal RK Knight customer. I hate to admit it, but my mom might have been right for once. If you have a problem give them a call. Reasonable, fast, and friendly!

Excellent work every time we have used them. Randy was very courteous and informative. He let me know exactly what is was doing and what the cost would be. They quote a time and arrived on time, diagnosed the problem and explained what should be done and what the cost would be.

Call RK Knight and got a quote the same day as my call. Needed to fix a pin hole leak on the outside of my house. Got a reasonable quote and scheduled the work to be done the following week. Work was done as described and was done quickly. Great quality job and would highly recommend.

RK Knight Plumbing gets an A+ for excellent customer service from me! From Jodie who made my appointment, to Ronnie who called me three times to update me and let me know what time someone would be at my house, to Lou, the plumber that came out on the call– excellent! All three were professional, friendly, and considerate. I will be recommending them to friends and family! I found myself a great plumber!

I have to say that I was VERY disappointed. We used this company several years ago and they seemed ok but I wouldn’t ever use them again.
The plumber showed up and asked what the problem was. When I explained what where the stop up was he looked at it and suggested that we get a new sink and pipes. The sink and pipe were just fine but needed to have them reconnected and lined up. After telling us the exorbitant price for this simple job we decided that we didn’t have time to deal with so we reluctantly agreed. While he was sitting there by the sink he informed us that the sink was not draining well and needed to be cleared. Once again (for a price) we agreed to let him do the work. We, out of curiosity, asked him what he would charge to replace the kitchen faucet and the price, just for labor because we had the replacement faucet, was outrageous! Skipping that, he spent a little time running a snake in the drain, collected the check (ouch!) and left.
Later that afternoon our son came by and looked at the sink (which was leaking even after the repair). He pulled out the trap and it was completely clogged. That was the reason the drain wasn’t working, our son pointed out, and he is not a plumber.
I, quite frankly, feel taken by this company and will NEVER use them again.
I just looked back at the reviews and found it interesting that my review didn’t show up anymore. Many businesses have reviews that go back many years but not this one? Who makes these decisions to change the actual review standings by doing this?
Seems shady to me…
I’m just saying …

Great service, product selection, recommendation, and installation, and availability which is so important when plumbing problems occur. And my place was left clean! Will call them again when I need to. My experience calling for their service was excellent.

Not sure what Pipe Jeni C is smoking. I have been using RK for over 10 years now and there has never been a problem. Pricing is always fair and work is flawless every time. Thank You for everything RK Knight.
We look forward to 10 more years of great service.

i really get the feeling someone wants to silence me. weird.
let’s try this again with nothing but my first hand account of my experience with r.k. knight plumbing and rooter.
i hired them sometime in 2009 to fix a clogged hose in our wash room, a leaky tub spout, and a shower head replacement. what we got was a snaked out hose, a leaky tub faucet much worse than before these plumbers even touched it, and a new shower head that seemed to have a life of its own when it flew off the pipe and straight for our unsuspecting faces… while naked and wet. not cool.
we were charged a lot of money for about 15 minutes of work on two separate days, way more than i’ve ever been charged by other companies for similar work. we called for them to come back and fix what didn’t get repaired correctly the first time, and just so you know, this company offers horrible customer service over the phone and in person; the person who took my call didn’t pay attention the first time and finally blamed me for things not being fixed properly. tsk tsk. and after two days of work with nothing working properly and too much money down the proverbial drain, i was bothered… so i reluctantly went with another plumber from another company who came out a few days later to fix everything in less than 2 hours for half the cost.
why was this so difficult for rk?
