Answer Plumbing

Top notch in every way. Jarred is knowledgeable, fast, keen problem solver, excellent quality work. He has done a wide variety of work around our home for 6 plus years now. I cannot imagine using anyone else.

It's never a fun to have to call the plumber, but I was happy to call Jarred because I knew that we could trust him to do the job right. This time, our old house needed a toilet replacement upstairs. Prior to our appointment with Jarred, he gave us recommendations on which type of toilet to shop for. We took his recs and also did some research on our own. We ended up getting a Toto.

When Jarred came to install the new throne, he was quick, efficient and professional. He always keeps everything clean. He also hauled away the old toilet for us at a very reasonable disposal fee. There's nothing negative we can say about Jarred. He's our go-to plumber! Hopefully we will not be needing to call him any time soon though!

Today we had Jared, the owner of Answer Plumbing over to our home to install a new kitchen sink faucet and to fix a problem with our toilet in basement.
Five stars to this extremely conscientious plumber!!!
He came recommended to us from a neighbor......we would like to pass on the recommendation to others looking for a experienced tradesmen to do a great job!

Jared is a great plumber.  When you call him, you're not getting somebody would doesn't know much, which is often the case with plumbers.  He does the job right at reasonable rates.  He's also a very nice guy.  Highly recommended.

Jarred replaced a toilet for me, he is easy to work with is very knowledgeable. I would hire him again.

I highly recommend Jarred from Answer Plumbing.  He is very trustworthy, professional and very kind.  Always gives us explanation of what the problem is, what he suggests, what he is doing etc.  

When my upstairs neighbor had an immediate need for a plumber (shower water got cold right before her AirBnB guest's arrival), he happened to be in the area and swung by, went out to get some parts needed and fixed it right away.
Then we needed to get our kitchen faucet to be replaced and fix dishwasher water back-up, he was very busy with a new construction project and we couldn't figure out the convenient time to get it done for both of us.  He was very understanding how stressful that was for us not to be able to use kitchen sink, he came out to do the job in an evening.  Thank you, Jarred!!

The answer to your plumbing quagmires is...Answer Plumbing!  I found Answer Plumbing here on Yelp in my search for a great plumber.  As their name suggests, Answer is super responsive.  Within minutes of submitting my Request A Quote, Keiko provided me with potential times for a visit as well as a price quote, which they honored.  Jarred has now done a few jobs for us, most recently installing an under-sink water chiller and filtration system that works great.  He is always very personable and does meticulous work.  He even wears booties and covers the work area with a waterproof tarp, which I really appreciate.  He's also provided us with thoughtful recommendations.  On the two most recent visits, he's even had just the right obscure part to complete the jobs properly.  I've recommended Answer to friends and family and added them my contacts for future plumbing work.  Highly recommend.

Highly recommend Jarred! We got a quote from another plumber that seemed very high and would've likely been overkill. We contacted Jarred and he was incredibly responsive and explained all of the problems very clearly. He fixed ALL of the problems very quickly, and his charge was a fraction of the other estimate. He will be our first call in the future, and I recommend him and his company without any reservations, Thank you Jarred!

Jared is amazing.  He goes out of his way to provide the right information, help with taking advantage of warranty information, his team has even helped me when I was dealing with an uncooperative support person for water heater issues.  
He is timely, detailed and explains everything well so I clearly understand what was the original problem.  I highly recommend Answer Plumbing.

Jarred has been my plumber for the past four years. He has always been punctual and very knowledgeable. He takes time to explain the problem and do the best to fix them. He fixed leakage I had in my kitchen sink, toilet, and bath tub. He also installed my washer and dryer. I know I can count on him and for that I high recommend him.

I can't recommend these guys enough. I was in dire straights with a clogged pipe causing our kitchen to get flooded every time the neighbors upstairs turned on their dishwasher.

I was able to get a hasty appointment with Answer Plumbing. They showed up on time. They're super friendly. Their pricing is fair and transparent. They got the job done quickly and effectively, and they even cleaned up the floors of my kitchen when they were done.

Super stoked to know a plumber I can rely on in San Francisco.

Jarred is the best plumber in the Bay Area. He is smart, thoughtful about every job and very very very good at what he does. From installing our tankless water heaters, to handling our major house renovation to simply unclogging our shower drains, Jarred is the best there is. Especially for major renovations that require everything is up to code and meets inspections I wouldn't go to anyone else. In fact I made the mistake of using someone else per my contractor's request and I ended up needing to call in Jarred to fix the mess the other guys did. He is the best!

Talk about perfection!  We had a need of a plumber to install a Toto toilet in our upstairs bathroom.  Jarred and his colleague came promptly to our house and began installing the toilet.  They had to drill through our thick bathroom tile, which required a larger drill, but was up front with the extra work involved and began meticulously drilling the holes.  

Jarred also recommended caulking around the base of the toilet in order to prevent dirt and in possible water leakage.  The unit was installed perfectly and we are thrilled at the attention to detail with the installation.

I would highly recommend Jarred and his team with future plumbing jobs.

This review is long overdue. We have used Answer Plumbing for all our plumbing needs, including bathroom remodels, for over 5 years. Jarred is as good as it gets. He's extremely knowledgeable, keeps the worksite clean, and is professional and courteous. Emails, texts and phone calls are returned promptly, and he takes the time to explain everything and walk us through all our options when there are choices that need to be made. He also identifies and solves any problems that come up, even if they were caused by someone else on the project not doing their job correctly.

We spent the time and got 5 different estimates and the range was about $100 off, between price and attitude Jarred is by far the most courteous and upper middle of the park (Ace, Discount, Works Plumbing, O'Grady was the worst).

One of Jarred's guys answered his phone, made an appointment, we called the night before to remind them;  3 guys showed up (more or less on time but they called and said they'd be late), and did the job.  

We paid about $475.00 for changing an off take valve, replacing a waste and water line for a dishwasher, running a copper water line and hooking it up to the fridge.  There was some inexperience (one of the guys hooked up the wrong valve to the wrong line and had to redo it, so I guess Jarrod was training the other 2); but I caught it in time so no harm.

Did we over pay for the work?  Yeah a little (if you take $30.00 off the valve and $10.00 for the piping it's $435), we didn't need three guys; but they brought booties for their feet, had a good attitude, cleaned up after themselves.

Jarred charges by the hour and they took 2 1/2 hours.  They billed me for the time to get the valve and piping.

I'd use Jarred again.  But, I'd recommend if you hire him, go through exactly what you need done before and after and make sure they show you what exactly they did.  Agree to more or less the time needed to do the job before hand.  

Which, with Jarred's good attitude and the team's general good attitude, wouldn't seem to be a problem.  They're nice guys.

The patio had standing water after heavy rain Wednesday; the drain was full of debris, obviously clogged.  I called Jarred Thursday. He came yesterday afternoon. He had to siphon the water out of drain to assess the problem. Concrete had been poured in drain, narrowing the pipe.  Jarred spent 2+ hours using snake with a bit to chip away at the concrete. We now have a drain that functions!!  Jarred's a top notch plumber and a really good guy!!

Really great service and such a nice guy.  Identified the problem with a sink installation that was causing a leak, and went the extra mile in reinstalling everything, even so far as to modify our sink hardware with his bench grinder so it was better than he found it.  All with a smile!  Can't recommend highly enough.  Will use again!!

Jarred is terrific.  It's just that simple.  Super knowledgeable, great communication, and great quality
of work.  As the owner of rentals
In the city I really appreciate that I have a plumber who is exemplary in every way.  If you need a plumber do yourself a favor and call Answer Plumbing.

Jarred was great in helping me install a new sink that required cutting into a stone counter. He was very friendly and passionate about his work, and explained everything he was doing.  Very detail-oriented in making sure everything was perfect and testing/tightening to make sure there weren't any leaks afterwards, had all the right tools/parts in his truck.  Communicated availability and timelines clearly and always returned my call.  Jarred tackled a difficult installation job that many plumbers wouldn't be able to handle and for a very fair price!

We used Jarred for some pretty extreme 30 feet light well work.  He replaced an old asbestos vent, enlarged our drain and gave us new drainage pipes.  We are ready for another rainy winter!  

Jarred was timely, patient and professional.  Very easy to work with and I would hire him again.  Highly recommend!

Keep calling for 2 hours still not answering the phone, my septic stinks about 3 days now.

Jarred was knowledgable, showed up on time, and fixed my water heater. It was less than two hours between our first phone call and his team arriving on site. Incredible. Thanks!

Couldn't agree more with Cindy below: Jarred is a bonified pimp, perhaps one of the best servicemen I've ever had come to my house for any reason.  

Sunday afternoon and I'm at Whole Foods spending too much money on food for a dinner party that night when I get a call from my woman.  The garbage disposal unit made an explosion sound, shot out some sparks and smoke and then shocked the shit out of her when she tried to turn it off.  Ehhhh, not what you want to hear when you're about to cook for new friends, one of whom is a professional Chef, for christsakes. And now one of us will have to take time off of work to be at home for a plumber some time during the week, fucking hell . . .

When I get home she tells me a plumber's on the way. On a Sunday?  She said she called 4 and got nothing but voicemail, but on the fifth call Jarred picked up and said he would roll by.  Weird.

Homeboy shows up and looks a lot like Mac from Sunny in Philadelphia, so he's off to a good start.  Tells me he can swap the disposal unit out in an hour for $95 labor.  You can't get slapped in the face in this town for less than $150, so right on.  But he has to go get the parts and won't be back until 6pm, the same time my guests are slated to arrive . . .

So I'm prepping like a bitch, trying to get everything done before all hell breaks loose. By the time Jarred gets back I've got the cheese plate out, my salad put together and my Cioppino is cooking on the stove.  Jarred --who actually took off his shoes before entering the house, without me even having to ask -- spreads out a cloth to protect my floor and gets to work.  (I mean, any work under the sink is intrinsically dirty bizness, but Jared's got it laid out like he's doing surgery so it's not nastying up my good dinner vibe.)  We retire to the living room for drinks, everything's going great.

After a few minutes there's a knock at the living room door. It's Jarred. He took time out from his work to come tell me the timer on my stove was going off.  Read that again: not only is dude busting out some seriously orderly sink repair on a Sunday afternoon, but he's stopping work to come tell me my Cioppino's done simmering.  Seriously, bro, slow it down, you're making most other plumbers look like donkey shit.

Less than an hour after he's started and dude is DONE.  I've got my warranty, he explains how to revive the unit if it screws up and he even takes my personal check.  And damn, we offered him a beer and invited him to kick it for a minute, but he's so pro-styles he wouldn't even take us up.

He takes the old, shitty unit with him (along with all the trash from the new unit) and insists upon sitting of the front porch (rather than inside on the comfy carpeted steps) to put his shoes on.  Just an ace.

Bottom line: Jarred not only fixed my stinky sink shit in no time for an entirely reasonable price, but he also displayed some of the best and friendliest manners I've seen in a minute.  

We will DEFINITELY call him back.

Jarred is the BEST.  I needed a plumber urgently on a Sunday afternoon and I went to yelp and I called 3 plumbers before calling Jared.  None of the plumbers I called answered the phone except Jarred. In fact, I am still waiting for a call back from all 3 plumbers I left a message wtih that day.

Anyways, Jarred answered the phone on a Sunday afternoon and was very professional. He told me he could come look at the problem and he was over in my house within thirty minutes. I could not believe the service! On a Sunday!

When Jarred arrived he was professional, and very nice, and he immediately identified the problem and told me what I needed to do to repair it.  He said he could go get the parts and could be back to fix it within the hour.  And he did. He was VERY reasonably priced, he was very nice, and well mannared, and very clean.  He only charged me for the time he worked (none of this rounding up to the closest hour bullshit). When he was done with the work, he left my kitchen in the same condition it was before he started all his work.  I have had several different plumbers in the past, and they have left dirty footprints on my tile floor, have left the counters they work on dirty, but not Jared!!

I cannot say enough good stuff about Jared. Not only is he a great plumber that does excellent work, he is reasonably priced, he does not try to sell you more work than needs to be done, and  ultimately he is very nice and professional.    I will never call another plumber again.  Jared is the man, and if you don't know, you should get to know.

A friend recommended a different plumber but, based on his outrageous quote, he wasn't interested in handling the rough in for our small bathroom remodel project.   The next one flaked on day one.  

I was so happy when I found Answer Plumbing on Yelp.  

1. Excellent communication.  He picked up the phone when I called.  He answered emails within one business day.   During the job, Jarred asked for our input a couple of times in order to be certain the end result was exactly what we were looking for.  

2. Reasonable cost.  After a quick walk-thru of the bathroom, Jarred provided a reasonably priced quote.  

3.  Expertise.  Jarred has years of experience.   He had a plan.  He also improvised effectively when necessary.   He's a pro.  

Hiring Answer Plumbing was the best decision we made during our bathroom remodel project.

I would definitely recommend them !! Bang on time, quality work and they also tell how you can avoid it from being repeated again!!

Jarred obviously follows a very smart and successful business model:
* Return phone calls promptly.
* Show up when you say you're going to show up, prepared.
* Do the job you were hired to do efficiently and professionally.
* Have reasonable rates but that reflect the quality of your work.
* Be professional and respectful throughout the interaction.

We hired Answer Plumbing to replace the pipes under our bathroom sink.  I was very impressed with Jarred's work and his very polite and courteous manner.  He made a few extra tweaks to help our water flow more smoothly and gave us a few tips about taking care of the new pipes.

I highly and unequivocally recommend his work.  Just wonderful.

Just to update my review from 2010. It has been MANY years, and we are still huge fans of Jarred and Answer Plumbing. He has conscientiously taken care of our aging facility (and with high school students, believe me, this building gets a work-out), and I can't thank him enough. Other vendors have come and gone (HVAC, electrician, refrigeration...), but Jarred remains because he's dependable, responsive and dedicated. Thumbs up!

So satisfying to finally find a plumber who is totally conscientious and competent.  

Jarred fixed a thermostatic valve in my shower that proved more difficult that originally anticipated.   But he located the parts, helped me get the water shut off in my building, and completed the job at a very fair price.

The only downside is that once everyone finds out how great he is, it will be a lot harder to get him scheduled!

We called several plumbers, left numerous voice messages, and Jarred was the first one to respond letting us know he'd be able to come over.  Jarred arrived right on time, introduced himself, and started to put on his shoe covers. From the get go, our 1st impression of Jarred was very good. Jarred began asking me questions about our plumbing issue and was able to quickly proceed with his troubleshooting. We're very impressed with his thoroughness explaining to us the cause of the problem and his recommendations.  He hasn't completed the job yet, but so far we're very pleased with what Jarred has done and we're confident he will do a thorough job fixing our plumbing issue.  Very highly recommended.

Jarred is awesome. I can't recommend him enough. He helped us fix a few problems in a new house and install a toilet after we ran into some problems trying to do it ourselves. He was super friendly, explained everything he was doing, what the problems were, how he was fixing them, and tips for us in the future. Happy to have found someone we can count on!

I just had the greatest experience with Answer Plumbing. They came on very short notice to fix my badly clogged kitchen sink and garbage disposal. Not only were they prompt, but they were friendly, professional, and very respectful of our space--I was at home with our baby! I'm especially grateful for Jarred, who walked me through what the problem was and how he was addressing it. I appreciated his kind tone and willingness to speak to me and help me avoid future problems. Highly recommend!

Jarred is by far the best plumber I've dealt with in SF.  Always responsive and economical. He's also just a great guy.  I would absolutely recommend him to anyone with any plumbing related problems.

Jarred is indeed the best.  I left him a message right before a holiday.  He called me back within 20 minutes and asked if he could come by my home with a half hour.  When he arrived, he put on his booties, quickly identified the problem with my dishwasher and cleaned up.  He was able to pinpoint the exact problem with the machine nearly immediately - something which the appliance repair company recommended by my dishwasher's manufacturer was unable to do.  Next time, he'll be my first call.

I can honestly say that I've never felt the need to write a Yelp review... until I met Jarred.  Jarred answered my calls promptly, texted me back when he said he would, and arrived on time to our appointment (like literally on the dot!).  He was so wonderful, professional, and knowledgeable, always explaining what he was doing along the way.  When he finished the job he came to do, he even worked on something else that wasn't scheduled and tested things over and over to make sure they were perfect.  He's an all-around great guy and I highly highly recommend him.

Jarred came within 3 hours of calling, and showed up promptly when he said he would. He offered to remove his shoes before entering the house and moved the bathroom carpet before getting to work. He was fast, professional, and affordable and I highly recommend Answer Plumbing!

Jarred and his two assistants fixed a small gas leak at our stove, and then repaired two slow-draining sinks at our bathroom vanity, plus straightened out a wonky pop-up drain assembly, all in short order and at a very reasonable price.  Jarred is very personable, and did a great job of explaining the work to us before he dove in, and we appreciated that he and his assistants put tarps down and wore protective coverings on their shoes. The result was a clean job and a satisfied customer!

Jarred was here on time and fixed my blocked drain!  Courteous, clean and efficient.

Jarred is my go-to plumber. He answers the phone, shows up on time, and does what he says he'll do. He is knowledgeable, a hard worker, and reasonably priced. I've had him come in and try to deal with a ridiculous radiator problem. It turned out to be a systemic problem but he was instrumental in helping us figure it out. Additionally, I've had him in to replace my garbage disposal - which he did quickly and well. And, he helped improve the flow of my shower head.

Nice guy, I trust him and am glad I found him. I hope he gets your business.

Jarred was great on all levels. Very responsive and available even on a Friday night when I called. He showed up a few minutes early, fixed my our kitchen faucet at a completely reasonable price and communicated well through the whole process. I highly recommend him.

The reputation these guys have is well deserved. My call was returned promptly and they came when they said they would, five minutes early actually. This is almost unheard of in the business. They took the time to cover their shoes before stepping into the house and were extremely courteous and professional. They replaced my kitchen sink piping and removed the old garbage disposal unit (Twenty years old!) quickly and without leaving a mess. I felt the fee was very reasonable. They even took the time to tell me some helpful maintenance hints for my sink. If you need some plumbing repairs in your house, you can stop searching now, you've found your answer. You'll just have to believe me that no pun was intended. Highly recommended.

best experience I've had with a plumber. Jarred was smart, honest, very affordable and did some additional work adjusting some water pressure issues for free because he finished the task at hand so quickly. Can't recommend any higher.

I choose Jarred based on the Yelp comments, but I must confess I was a bit doubtful if he would be as good as the reviews... Well he is !
Came back from overseas travel today with water under the sink, called Jarred and it is fixed literally within hours  after landing.  As BL said, quick, on time and reasonable, a no-brainer!

This guy really has got his business together! I recomend him to everyone who wants an honest plummer! 5 star service =)

Jarred from SF

Well in short If Jarret was a Heart Surgeon and I needed a heart transplant he'll be the man.... The guy knows his stuff and he has what it takes to get it done! Fast, clean and affordable....

                  Last year in the winter cold I had to spend it freezing my ass especially in the living room of my condo, after others tried to fix it and fail, I was concern if the whole system needed to be replaced... Until Jarred took this challenge and never gave up, he  studied  this particular system carefully and found the problem up in the attic where the plumbing water lines are... Not to make the story long Now I have a home where my girl and family / friends can come and enjoy a comfy place.

Thanks Dude!

They were able to send someone right over, and completed the job  quickly and successfully.  My tub and sink are magic.  I highly recommend Jared and his company. They were super nice as well. Let me tell you, I have worked with other plumbing companies and this was a uniquely positive experience.

Jarred is fantastic!  After having truly terrible experiences with Ace Plumbing and Discount Plumbing to install a kitchen sink, Jarred was called and came to our rescue!  He was amazing from start to finish.  Everything from his spirit of service to thinking outside the box to make our tricky situation work, restored our faith that there are good & honest people that do this kind of work.

Highly recommend Answer Plumbing . Left a message for Jared, who called me back within the hour. Scheduled an appointment the next day to fix my leaking sink. He arrived on time, put on little booties to not track dirt, was friendly, efficient, and just a total pleasure to do business with. He is also highly professional and very reasonably priced. I will definitely use him for all future jobs.

Jared scored a trifecta: He was on-time, quick, and reasonable. No brainer.

We had Jarred and his team remove and install two new toilets. The arrived exactly on time, work quickly and efficiently. They even cleaned our tile floor before installing the new toilets and cleaned and removed all of the debris.  The cost was exactly what Jarred estimated and overall a very easy and pleasant job. Will have no hesitation in using Answer Plumbing if we ever need a plumber again.

I called Jared one morning--not with an emergency--a toilet kept running and was wasting water--the sound was annoying. He said he could come that night around 6:30. I was thrilled--same day service ! He called around 6 to say he was running late which was fine with me. He came, and replaced all the innards of the tank..they come in a package for $20..checked everything out--and his hourly rate is $20 - $25 less than most plumbers. Jared works hard, loves his work and is very knowledgeable about old plumbing and all the latest weird and wonderful in the watery world of anything that involves water. Very nice guy, and I couldnt be happier to have a plumber I would recommend to anyone-- and have already done so !

Jarred is the man. I had a leaky shut-off valve and  have gotten several estimates from other plumbers all of the other quotes were very high and they wanted to rip out part of my roof. Jarred came by and completed the job for a great price and he did not disturb my roof at all. my place looked exactly the same when he left as it was when he arrived. Jarred was very personable, knowledgeable, professional and an all around good guy. I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a great honest plumber.

After interviewing 5 different plumbers, we selected Answer Plumbing to replace our old toilet. Best decision ever. Because Jarred -- and his assistant Adam -- are some of the best in the business. Responsive, on time, reliable, experienced and reasonable. Nothing like the typical plumbing repair experience we've had in the past. These people know what they are doing -- and do it well. There is a reason they have the highest yelp ratings...they deserve it!

Jarred is awesome.  I HIGHLY recommend him.  He was punctual, attentive to needs, true to his word about timing and price, took his shoes off at the door, treated my home as if it were his own......he even had to run back to his office to get a special tool to complete the job more effectively........totally professional, totally happy to be providing top-rate service.  He's a guy who lives in a world of integrity.

returned my call within an hour, was flexible, showed up early, identified the problem with my toilet that I had called about, fixed it in 45 minutes, cleaned-up after himself, had all parts handy, was professional, I wrote him a check for a competitive amount (especially in light of him coming on a Sunday). No brainer.
