We compared 14 plumbers in Tulare on Google Maps · 4 listed · How we rank

Every business on this page is based in Visalia, the neighboring city, not in Tulare itself, so these are the plumbers in Tulare's area that our Google sample turned up, with Visalia street addresses. Between them they hold more than 1,100 Google reviews, all rated 4.7 or higher, and the big difference is size: one company accounts for more than 930 of them.

Short answer: Lee's Air, Plumbing, Heating, & Roofing ranks first on volume: 4.8 stars from more than 930 Google reviews, though it is a Visalia company that also does HVAC and roofing and its site pitches Fresno and Sacramento. Visalia Plumbing Inc. says on its site that it serves Tulare, and Robert Marks Plumbing is rated 4.9. Every address here is in Visalia, so ask about travel and scheduling for Tulare.

4.8937 Google reviews

Lee's Air, Plumbing, Heating, & Roofing is based at 3323 S Fairway St in Visalia.

The site is written for Fresno and Sacramento and lists a Visalia location, but does not mention Tulare, so confirm it covers your address.

  • A customer describes an AC diagnosis, financing and a new unit installed within about a day
  • A reviewer says a technician explained the damage to an existing roof

Our take: It ranks first on volume, with the largest review base here by far, but it is a broad home services company rather than a plumbing specialist. Choose it for plumbing plus HVAC or roofing under one roof.

How the scores work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other plumbers we found near Tulare. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 4.9 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers.
