HISTORY
It all started working in a coffee shop making $4.75 per hour cleaning tables and washing dishes. Several years later after learning the business, I moved up to a management role. I had dreams of one day having my own business. However, I was always quite the fix it guy. Anything that broke, I was the one to fix it.
I switched career paths and started working for a property management company fixing up homes. Lots of painting, tiling, cabinetry, and more. Being an old house, a majority of the plumbing needed serious repairs. So I learned and wanted to know it all. Then I landed a job opportunity working for a service and repair plumbing company. This was not just a job for me anymore. This was an opportunity to show off my skills and help people with their plumbing needs.
As all things must come to an end, it was time to say good bye and follow my dream. F&A Plumbing at your service and ready to help. Call us today!

Reviews
Picture this... Preparing dinner with potatoes fondant and putting the potato skins and scraps, turning on the garbage disposal thinking everything would be fine. Only to find out about an hour or so later how horrible of an idea that was.
Yep, you guessed it....and I learned it. DO NOT throw potato skins in your garbage disposal!! I was left with standing water in my sink. My Home Depot purchased non-commercial snake, drain cleaner and plunger had no effect on the blockage at all.
I opted to call F&A plumbing who were able to schedule a visit within a couple of hours. I received a text notification the request was placed and then another message when the tech was scheduled to arrive.
Jonathan showed up right on-time. I mean within minutes of the scheduled start time. Super friendly and sympathetic to the mess I created for myself. Jonathan took a look, gave me a price quote along with an ETA for everything to be back to normal.
Within that time, my sink was fixed and my potato skins are now the City's problem (hope they have a better garbage disposal ;)). Everything was left clean and just how it had been before.
Great communiation and customer service! Would absolutely use again!

We looked local after buying our house in South City when we wanted to upgrade our old plumbing & fixtures. Frank (F&A Plumbing) was incredibly responsive to our initial questions, helped us plan out the project, and gave us fair quotes in a timely fashion.
Before we could start the project our old water heater died and Frank came over the same day to remedy the situation, and within the day next day we had a new tank-less water heater installed! Phew!
Frank and his team installed brand new copper pipes throughout our home, added a dishwasher in our kitchen, and tirelessly installed our complex shower setup (that we love!). He also replaced an old drain line in the bathroom that we uncovered. During the project, he recommended other contractors who helped us make updates to our kitchen and bathroom - work that was outside the scope of the plumbing upgrades.
I can't speak highly enough of F&A Plumbing, Frank, and his crew. If you're looking for great service/work/people, look no further! Thanks again!

Interesting experience. My toilet wasn't flushing and these guys made it to my house within a few hours of me calling - very quick. However, their solution was telling me I just need a new toilet.
Maybe they thought because I'm a woman they can take advantage, or they were just inexperienced young guys. I pushed back a lot saying that seems like a last resort, dropped some technical terms to let them know I have some knowledge about plumbing, and they relented half an hour later saying well eventually you need a new toilet. I gave them one star because they did somewhat fix my toilet by replacing a 20$ part and charging me 236$ for the service. If your solution to a small problem is to just get a new toilet - maybe you need to rethink your approach.

We had to have our sewer line replaced because tree roots had clogged the old ceramic pipe. Frank's initial estimate was $6200 but after he looked at the pipe and determined that only sections of it had to be replaced he lowered his estimate by $800. He and his crew were able install the new pipe in one day, he took care of the permits and inspection from Daly City, and generally made the whole process run smoothly. We highly recommend him.
Frank was very honest and straight forward. He told me the cost of the labor and advise me there's some mark on the parts. He didn't have anyone that can come out on a Sunday night but they can arrange someone for Monday afternoon. I texted him next Monday morning if he has anyone earlier. He sent someone to come over in the next 2 hours. They gave me a reasonable quote and they completed the work with in a hours. They technician was very friendly and straight forward. I already ask for quote for other works that I am planning to do. Great service and straight forward.
I would give this company 6 stars if I could.
Called them up to fix a gas issue we had with our front yard (previous owner had DIY'ed a bunch of tiki torches).
Owner was very pleasant and friendly.
Within 1 hour, 2 technicians (also friendly and knowledgeable) showed up at my house in Millbrae.
They had to do some digging and diagnostics, and found a small gas leak.
They informed me that I could shut the gas off or cut it off if there continued to be problems. Since I just chose to shut it off, they didn't even charge me even though they sent two technicians for the better part of an hour!
I will definitely be in touch with F&A for all future plumbing needs.
Highly recommend!
Needing plumbing done is scary! Bc let's face it adulting sucks!!!
Come in F &a plumbing and rooter!!!
I've seen their trucks around Pacifica and if that many ppl are using them they must be good! And when our washer sprung a leak and it wasn't the machine I looked them up!
From my first conversations with them I was impressed! Very responsive and easy to schedule! Their prices are very fair and the best part is they stand behind their work!!
I'm so glad we went to them!! Thank you!!

Really good service and was punctual. We had problems with our toilet and he fixed it very quickly. Called him again to fix our sink and he came quickly. Would recommend to others and will call him again when needed.
Kitchen sink clogged with a leaking pipe just a few days before Thanksgiving--just great. Someone in the kitchen was going a little to H.AM. Thankfully Frank answered his phone, provided details and estimates, and got his guys out to the house within a couple hours.
I used the Yelp project feature to reach bout to a handful of plumbers and the DMs started to come through within the first few minutes. Some quotes were pretty high and just straight up availability was rough with the holiday week.
Frank's team came and fixed the leaking pipe but when we ran the water (after they left already) we noticed the sink was still clogged. Oops! After we called him, he got his guys back to the house first this in the morning and fixed it all up for no extra charge. Super appreciated they got this done quick because scheduling someone to come to the house is as difficult as scheduling someone to be home.
Frank was very responsive via calling and text. Def felt like a priority!
Sink, pipe, kitchen, and Thanksgiving is saved thanks to F&A.

We had backup issues with a toilet line that had been cleared by another company for over $800. Within a week the issue returned and the other local company's only proposal for resolution was $6,200 in pipe repairs and they said it was impossible to clear the line. We called around and found F&A. They came right out and found a less evasive way to clear line (without ripping off the toilet which the other company did twice). Within an hour the line was cleared again. They proposed if it continued they could do a pipe correction for $1,300 and one that made sense and fit the problem. We opted for that. They sent out a crew and completed the work quickly and stayed on budget. So relieved we found them. We try to support local businesses. Give them a call. I'm glad I did.

Thank you, Frank and team, for an amazing job with our plumbing in a bathroom renovation! He took on the challenge to revamp our shower system, sink, and plumbing. Frank and his team is punctual, responsive, and has deep expertise. We were able to quickly finish our renovation and couldn't be happier! I highly recommend F&A plumbing!!!
Frank and his crew are absolutely amazing! They fixed my bathtub drain in less than 30 minutes and they were such a pleasure to have in my house. Frank even gave me a few tips on my toilet which was not being worked on but needed some repair. They responded quickly and the price was reasonable for pandemic times and the lowest quote I found. Thanks, Frank!
If you have the time and inclination to bid out your project, hey, knock yourself out. Otherwise, save yourself the hassle and call F and A Plumbing. Twice now, our condo association has solicited multiple bids for plumbing repair; water heater replacement and sewage pipe replacement. Each time F and A had the most competitive bid, kept every appointment, explained their process,tidied up their work area, finished on schedule, and did it all with a smile and a joke or two at no extra charge. It is reassuring to know a service provider you can trust.
Frank is an absolute pleasure to work with! He always picks up his phone, is professional, and does a fantastic job! We just moved into a house in Pacifica and he's been by about 4-5 times to do varies jobs. Overall we're so happy to have such a reliable plumber close by! Highly recommend!
Great service. Always on time, Responsive, good quality of service. Strongly recommend.

I had a really happy experience with these guys. They came quickly, and worked fast to unclog our line with a 100 foot long snake. Up front they gave me a worst case scenario cost estimate, as well as a minimum. They were very honest and were able to do the job at minimum cost. We would definitely call them again.
We would like to give FA Plumbing and excellent rating. Our service technician Yohnathan was very professional and very helpful and knowledgeable. Frank was also very helpful and provided status updates when to expect completion of job. We recommend this company to our friends and family.
Frank picked up the phone when we called this morning with water flooding onto the bathroom floor and said that he would send someone out within an hour. Anthony--a total pro--arrived within 45 minutes and snaked out the main drain line and we are back in business.
Anthony showed up with a mask, was friendly and reassuring, and explained what he was going to do to deal with our problem. He then got to work and quickly powered through the clog.
This isn't our first experience with F&A--they replaced our water heater when it died on 4th of July weekend four years ago, again responding very quickly. Over the last couple of years, they also replaced our kitchen faucet and an old sink in our garage. F&A's service has been consistently excellent and reasonably priced. Very highly recommended!

I have called F&A plumbing twice now for two separate issues. First was for a very backed up kitchen sink and today for a backed up toilet. Both occasions they were very responsive, courteous, professional, quick, and reasonably priced. I called this morning at 10a and my toilet issue was resolved by 1130a! They will continue to be my go to for plumbing dilemmas!!!

Quick fix, they were professional, clean and courteous. A little pricey but competitive.
Id recommend them
Fixed a broken hose bib on the back of my house. Reasonable, fast, reliable, and friendly. What else do you want in a plumber?
Frank did a wonderful job on my shower drain.
Reasonable, on time and great communication.
I will definitely call him in the future.
I had a leak in my bathroom drain and Frank fixed it the next day in less than an hour! Amazing service &great price!!!
Ended up calling Frank after our initial contractor cancelled on us. He showed up, replaced our cartridge, and even conversed with us while we were watching his work. Very nice and honest guy. Highly recommend him and his team.
Water main valve was leaking. Requested a quote through Yelp on a Sunday- received a reply a few hours later. Frank came by the following Monday morning and gave a very reasonable estimate; He came back in the afternoon and completed the job.
I would use this company again for future plumbing needs. Highly recommend!
Frank is awesome and definitely open during COVID! Don't be fooled by the YELP page. I was trying to DIY something and at 9pm i finally gave up and had to turn off the water. I contacted Frank and he came the same morning and helped us get water back on. Did super nice work and went the extra mile to get us back up and running. Will definitely consider him my go to plumber for sure.
My go to person for any plumbing needs. Great company and very responsive. Was able to get my house back to normal in quick time

Mario was fantastic and truly knew his stuff. It was a pleasant transaction a d he took time to explain our options. He was courteous and followed covid procedures.
These guys are true professionals. I had a lot of work to get done and got three quotes for all of the work. F&A was the only team that was professional, knowledgeable and fairly priced throughout the entire process. Stop wasting your time searching for plumbers you can trust and just call F&A, they're the best.
i had a bathroom sink that needed to be unclogged. Frank and Anthony were great with communication, and of course, the job itself was quick and seemed easy and routine for them. the experts always make it look easy; thanks.
Frank and his assistant were phenomenal. We had a rusted leaking drain trap for a double sink and a clog deep down our waste pipe.
Frank responded quickly, sent his assistant to replace all parts and snake the blocked pipe. He succeeded quickly but, the block was still there after all that.
Frank came out at his earliest available slot the next day and re-snaked the drain with a longer snake and boom success! Charges for the 2nd day were minimal and he didn't leave until he made sure everything worked.
Communication, response time, thoroughness and honesty were all 5 stars.
Not the cheapest plumber but, after he leaves the job is done right and lasts for years (we've used him before). Professional, friendly, fearless and highly skilled, worth every $.
As with everything in life, occasionally there are hiccups in any work performed. Frank was responsive, communicative and dedicated to making sure the work was corrected and that we were 100% satisfied with the ultimate outcome. He earned our trust by his forthright communication and obvious commitment to a quality resolution.
Super service! Called two days after Christmas with a leaky water heater and they replaced it for me the same day. Honest and trustworthy, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks for being one of the good guys!

Frank helped me replace a dishwasher under a lot of time pressure while I was out of town - did a great job!
Frank and Andrew we're awesome. Called in the am. Hey came in afternoon assessed my water heater situation, a bathroom sink leak and another issue (toilet leak). He gave me a price for all three. They got all three jobs done efficiently and at a fair price. Recommend!

Where are a few issues with our toilet Frank was on time polite concerned with our safety and respect for our home wouldn't hesitate to call him again
Frank is great! He's quick to respond, knows his job and reasonably priced. Took all Covid precautions masks and distancing made it safe to get the job done. I like to keep business local and F and A will be who I call for any of my plumbing issues from now on!

Frank is a stand up guy - you can count on a fair shake and a job well done.
Frank has been working on our home for a few years now. I have to say dont look anywhere else, F&A is All you need. Great price and honest. Frank and his team do things right! Being in the trades myself i know this is the quality and customer service that should be expected. With a huge Thank you,

I've had Frank and his team help me with three jobs. The biggest job was installing a new water heater in a small closet- not an ideal place but the only option. He also fixed a broken toilet and a very nasty clog in our kitchen sink. If you have a plumbing need this is your guy. It's very easy working with this company. Prices are fair - they charge you for the service and not by the hour. You know what you'll be paying upfront without any hidden extra costs.
Thank you Frank and Shawn!

F&A is fantastic. We had a garbage disposal that was leaking he installed a new one and prices were reasonable. This was back in March/April when he css as me to our house he was using full COVID-19 protections he wore mask and booties over his shoes. We felt very safe during the height of shelter in place having him in our home. Good worker and a good guy.
Steller reviews on Yelp for this company, which prompted me to call them when my water heater needed replacing. However, based on my own personal experience I believe most of the rave reviews are fake.
My garage smelled of gas after the install was complete. After notifying F&A, they said that shouldn't happen and that they would come out THE NEXT MORNING. Remember, there is a GAS LEAK.
Called PG&E and they confirmed that the gas flex line was leaking. They fixed F&A's work and asked me if the work had been done by a professional since they couldn't tell.
Water heater is also crooked on the stand - which their guy said was no big deal. Maybe for you guy. Upon leaving, they also left a rust water stain in front of my house which they did come out to clean off.
I would recommend not to use this company. They were the cheapest but you get what you pay for. I wish I had paid another few hundred bucks to use my regular plumber. Lesson learned.
Frank did a fantastic job. We had issues with the water temperature in the bathroom, and not only did Frank fix what turned out to be a pretty complex problem but he was very reasonable price wise. We have used him again to help with dishwasher issues, and will continue to use him.
Highly recommend.
Called FandA and was told I would receive a call back soon. My call was returned 5 minutes later. They showed up a half hour later wearing masks for COVID and did not enter until I was wearing a mask and they were invited in. They got right to work on my toilet and replaced two parts to get the tank filling again and the toilet working properly. They were in and out in less than a hour and charged $235.00 which seemed reasonable. I will be recommending them.
HONESTY. That's all we can ask for in a service .
Frank was very honest in his assessment of my plumbing problem. Thank you Frank, I'll recommend you to all my friends.
Great guy. Called the night before to schedule, he came by the next day and was done in less than hour.
Will call on F&A again.
Always great service! Incredibly professional, personable, and most importantly efficient. My apartment complex has been using these guys for many years and they always come through with a smile and lots of tools :) Thank you for taking care of our shit, literally lol. And thank you for the great work! Highly recommend them!
Frank came for a multi-faceted project: unclogging the kitchen sink and replacing a bathroom sink.
He was prompt, on-time, and professional. He explained what was happening, took a leaky valve in-stride, turned off the water to the house and quickly replaced the valves. His work was very thorough, he replaced the bathroom faucet, unclogged the kitchen sink. While he was replacing the bathroom faucet he noticed our bathroom toilet water was running (this was a long standing issue that I had forgotten about) and fixed that on the spot as well.
He did these three projects quickly, was very professional and a great person to work with. He's an honest guy -- I would highly recommend!

Super easy to work, everything was planned properly and well executed. Frank even did a free inspection for our home. Would surely recommend and consider him for future work
We had a couple drains clogged in our house and after a few attempts to find other plumbers (that did not show up) we call F & A Plumbing, they even got us in the same day. My husband was home and he said they were very polite and knew what they were doing. They were able to unclog the sink super quickly and even pointed out that our faucet needed a new handle. We will definitely give them a call the next time we need help.
If someone gives you a quote for work and you think it is a little (or a lot) high then get a 2nd opinion.
Was having some issues with my bathtub not draining properly.
Got an unnamed company to check it out and they claimed it was going to be a very extensive multi-day job.
Called F&A and they checked it out. Was able to fix the issue at 1/10th of the original quote and it works really well.
They are trustworthy and they do great work! Highly recommend!
Had Frank out again to check out a leaking pipe. He came and called before arriving to LMK he was on his way. When he got there he said the pipes washing machine pipes were not connected and that was the issue - not the pipe. No charge for the visit. He's respectful of my time and on point again. He's my go to plumber now.

I had this guy out two years ago just before the 2016 election, to fix a plugged up sewer. He did the job by himself and the fee was reasonable.
I just had him out again for the same problem. Called him up and asked his charge per hour. I can't give you that, I have to see the problem. This time he comes with two other guys to help him. I guess something has happened to him and he needs help now. At any rate, he charges more than twice as much for the same exact job.
Then he recommends my whole sewer line needs to be redone to increase the slope. I ask what the slope should be and he says I always recommend as much as possible. The dude behind him politely suggests 1/8 per foot. Yea, the latter is the correct answer. Too great a slope causes problems with venting and smell...
Anyway, his rough estimate is $4,000-$5,500 or so for the job. I ask him how much he charges per hour. Says he can't say, I just have to start working on a part and go from there. ....
It's highway robbery.
Had an emergency clog in the shower stall. After unsuccessful attempts at clearing the clog by myself, I decided to give RotoRooter a call. They came out and gave me an estimate of $375 just to snake the drain! I kindly declined.
After I called Frank. Explained my situation and was quoted a much more competitive price. He came out in an hour and was able to unclog the drain in 5 mins. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Overall a great experience! He even gave me a 40 day warranty. I would definitely ask for his services again.
Quick friendly service. A great price, honest and efficient.
Called Frank and left message, he called back same day to make afternoon appointment for a slow bathtub drain unclog. $350 to snake from roof drain.
All I can say, is WOW. His level of service was so good, I wish I could give him 6 stars!
Frank answered the phone and was polite, professional, and prompt.
He offered me the most competitive rate and was very friendly and flexible.
I had a really tough clog, and Frank got to work. He put in the time, the effort, and tried several different solutions, working the problem, until he got the job done.
He paid attention to detail, and did what he needed to in order to protect my home from water and dirt. He was very good about cleaning up when the job was done and making sure that everything was to my liking. I didn't have to ask him for anything, because he handled all the details himself.
I can't recommend this guy highly enough.
If you're in the bay area, and you want to support an honest, hard working, local, small business owner... while receiving EXCELLENT service... do yourself a favor, call Frank.
Shout out to Louie, Frank's assistant. Friendly, motivated, and hardworking - I wish him all the best!
I had a leak under my sink. Called F&A and the owner Frank showed up. Very professional and great communication. He even had booties to cover his boots so not to mess up our floors. He was done in less than 30 min and super affordable. Also, I am expecting my first child in a few months and Frank just had a baby and he had lots of new dad advice. Highly recommend!
I found Frank online; called him and he was prompt responding. We scheduled to meet at my house between 4-5 pm; he called me 20 minutes before arriving, giving me enough time to get home from my office.
He immediately identified the issue with my master bathroom toilet; fixed it. Never tried to up sell me anything; was honest, professional and very pleasant.
I like to support local businesses and this one deserves all praises.
I will continue using this company and highly recommend F&A Plumbing to my friends and family.

These guys are great. They were able to come out on very short notice to respond to a gas leak situation we had in out new house. Frank was quickly able to troubleshoot, identify, and resolve the issue all for a reasonable cost. He was also able to get us set up with a new valve ready to go for our new oven. Highly recommended!

Sean and Frank from F & A did a great job for us on a kitchen faucet replacement. They changed out the faucet and installed new angle stops. The work was done good and clean and in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend F & A for any work plumbing related. Thanks guys!!

I can't say enough good stuff about Frank and team! They installed three sinks, a garbage disposal, a new dishwasher for us, and they did the rough in work for a new shower plumbing. Then, a few days later we needed something else done and they came back almost immediately!
Professional, clean, fast,courteous, reasonably priced...I couldn't ask for more!

When my water heater leaked the other day, I checked out the nearest and highest rated plumbers here at the site. Luckily Frank was able to send Shaun over to check what the problem was. Turned out that my 25 year old heater was on it's dying stages. Frank came back the next day and replaced it. He was fast and meticulous. Nice guy. Highly recommended.
Woke up at 4am to a boom and water line bursting under the house. Then my 2ndary shutoff outside was stripped. Ouch!!! Frank himself responded to my call within an hour of my call and was kind enough to pull Shawn off another (inside) job to help with my crisis. Shawn spent 4 hours fixing the line inside and out and his craftsmanship was great. Price was original quote as promised.
Thank you for the great coastal support!
I highly recommend

The fastest most efficient pluming Ive ever had!!!!!! Frank came out within the hour of calling, gave me the estimate much cheaper than the others and was done fast.! Very friendly and A-1 service!
Thanks F&A you have a customer for life but hopefully I won't need you.! Lol
I have recently had several contacts with F&A Plumbing. I obtained estimates from several plumbers before choosing F&A, and am so glad that I chose them. Frank and Sean were both very friendly and helpful throughout every contact that I had and every question I posed. The jobs were completed when needed, and with excellent results. They even charged me substantially less-than-quoted on the last job they did. They were knowledgable, friendly, punctual, did great work, cleaned up thoroughly after their jobs were completed, and were a pleasure to interact with. F&A Plumbing clearly cares about providing a quality service to their customers and I highly recommend them to anyone.
These guys have helped me twice, one time fixing what a prior umber could not fix, in 5 minutes, getting my dishwasher working again. Another time helping with a sewage spill immediately. Thank you guys!
F&A Plumbing is excellent, excellent, excellent. Solid five stars for Frank and his assistant Eli. Frank is timely, responsive to texts, communicative and they fixed my kitchen faucet. Yay. My faucet was leaking for such a long time (it was slow but then got really bad! Yikes!) and I needed to change it out. Frank suggested replacement products. I went out and bought a faucet that I liked and scheduled an appointment with him right away. The faucet was in beautifully in a half hour. They were professional and courteous. I can't recommend F&A more highly. I would hire them again in an instant.

What can one say about F&A... fast, job done, job done exceptionally well, reasonably priced, courteous, AND... they were able to fix an old fixture that 2 other plumbers said they were unable to fix. If we ever have another plumbing problem again, I'm calling F&A. They do great work. Highly recommend!

I'm writing this review on behalf of my mom since she is not internet savvy and she requested that I do so. She has been totally raving about how well of a job F&A Plumbing & Rooter did.
Her story began a few weeks ago when the bathtub in her house got clogged. She called me and told me about the issue and about how a plumber told her the entire sewer line leading out of the house needed to be replaced. I asked her where she found the plumber and she told me from a flyer that was passed around a while back. Hearing that I decided to step in and help her find a plumber to go with. After getting on yelp and seeing the bad reviews, I did some research of my own and gave her three plumbers I thought would do an exceptional job.
The first plumber from my list tried many attempts to unclog the pipe. After unsuccessfully doing so he gave my mom a quote of a few thousand dollars and essentially said a similar thing about replacing the pipes. My mom told me I have a good feeling about this guy and was about to proceed forward with spending a couple of thousand dollars without getting a quote from anyone else on the list. I told her she MUST get another quote and I'm SO GLAD she did. That is when she called F&A Plumbing. Frank came over to my mom's house and spent a lot of hard effort and time to unclog the pipe. After 1.5 hours he was able successfully unclog it!!
My mom was very very pleased with the service she received. She said Frank was friendly, very knowledgeable, and professional. She liked the fact that Frank explained the entire process and difficulties in detail. In the end he gave her a very fair price and saved my mom many thousands of dollars in the process. Now she can shower without having to make several trips to her boyfriend's place. Thank you very much Frank you are a miracle worker when others failed!
I think I will give Frank a call if I ever run into plumbing issues at my house.

Frank came the same day I called, was on time and even charged me less than he quoted me for unclogging a kitchen drain full of artichoke leaves. Very professional and polite!
I had flooring redone on my home, and my new flooring was a bit lower than the old flooring; therefore, the toilet flange is no longer flush, and my toilet won't seat correctly, leaving a big gap between the base of the toilet and my new flooring. Apparently, the only way to solve the solution was to call a licensed plumber.
So I did just that. I found F&A Plumbing, called him on a Friday night, and Frank came by the next afternoon. During the Friday night call, he told me a range of estimate. I texted him pictures of the flange, and he came by the next day, made the necessary repair in about 2 hours, and the estimate was within the range he quoted me the night before.
I really appreciate that he would take his time to put on and remove shoe covers every time he comes in and out of my house. It's little things like that that makes a big difference for me. Not to mention that he is friendly, honest, polite, and respectful, something I at times find lacking in contractors from my experience (especially honesty).
Needless to say, Frank will be the first person I'd call for any future plumbing needs.
We originally hired a different plumber to fix a couple of leaks in our kitchen, but after multiple visits that added up to over $1500, the problem was worse, not better. Finally we called F&A Plumbing to assess the situation. Not only did Frank and his associate come out the very next day, but they determined the likely solution right away, wrote out the proposal & estimate, and got to the root of the problem just as they described within a couple of hours. We definitely have a new go-to for any future plumbing needs!
We use them for our rental properties in Daly City. Have had a few calls with them and they are honest, quick, and reasonable. Thanks guys!
Excellent communication skills and excellent work done. He gave me a picture of his work under House.. he was here early. Everything went as planned. No extra charges!

Frank came out and quickly took care of a clog behind our washer and dryer. Great service and extremely professional.
Frank's immediate response and appointment setup was fats and efficient. I randomly searched here on Yelp for a plumber for my mothers home and when he arrived he was a friendly face to my mom as he had been referred to her a weeks ago about a gutter issue. She told me about him then being nice, helpful and consultive in his approach. It was a wonderful coincidence that the paths crossed again! Now we know who to call for all plumbing issues!

Great work. Had a clogged sink and they fixed it the next day. Wasn't able to be there in person so they took my card over the phone and left the house just how it was. Honest and professional. Thank you!

Frank is super professional he got there on time. He came out to repair our water heater. He is very informative and fair on the pricing. I will definitely recommend F&A to my friends and family
What can I say about F&A that hasn't already been said? Frank is GREAT!!! We did all the communication through Yelp messages which shows me that he's all about customer satisfaction and service because he was very prompt in answering me.
Had a clogged drain in the shower and Frank and Louis came out to diagnose the problem and unclog the pipe. Frank also took his time to walk around the house with me and address any questions/issues I had. Flexible time and very reasonable pricing. I'm sure there might be cheaper alternatives, but the profesionalism and workmanship is worth every penny. Felt secure letting Frank and company in my house without needing to keep an eye on them or anything while they're doing their work. No need to hover while these guys are on the job. Honest, courteous, and knowledgeable . What more can you ask for.
Awesome! Professional, clean, honest and plain old good solid human. I strong recommend!
Was awake at 5am looking up plumbers on yelp. Found this one and left a request for an estimate. By 8am had a reply, and by 1pm had my 2 new toilets installed. Neat, clean and friendly. Can't ask for more. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber.
Frank and Louie came out to snake my washing machine's drain pipe and they could not have been more informative and professional. They even checked my sinks inside the house and looked under the house to see if I had any other problem related to the drain pipe.
I would call them again and definitely recommend to you.

I needed a disposal and kitchen faucet installed. Frank was professional, friendly, and prompt in calling me back. He arrived when promised and did a great job. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber.

Frank has done two jobs for me and he is wonderful-- fair, polite, professional, and punctual. The first job was in Sept. 2014, replacing angle stops for all the sinks in my house, and installing 5 faucets. Today he replaced the old rusty hose bibs for the washing machine, as Sears couldn't hook up the new washer until they were replaced. He explained potential issues to me and did a great job. Thanks Frank!
The owner was wonderful and very helpful/informative. He was the one who came and diagnosed the water heater issue and gave us a recommendation about how we can save a bit of money. On the actual day, his 2 workers came 2 hours late and never called to give us the heads up that they would be very late. Also, the owner's recommendation/suggestion was not followed by the 2 workers after being informed by him over the phone. They did it their way and passed it off as a boss' recommendation that wasn't all that great.
Before Frank came along, we had 3 other plumbers visit the house to troubleshoot a hot water issues. The previous plumbers either failed or quit. Frank fixed the issue quickly and proved that he not only knows what he's doing, but he does it with class & finesse. I highly recommend him and would definitely use his services again.

Frank was awesome to work with. He parachuted in during the middle of a move-in and Contractor-palooza and was on-time, fast, efficient, friendly, and easy to work with (especially important since we had multiple Contractors in at once). Highly recommended!
Frank showed up on time, was friendly and explained everything I needed to know. He did an overall check on all of my plumbing and addressed a problem with the water pressure in one shower. I recommend him highly.
Frank not only did a great job installing my new water heater, he came to check out the situation on the same day and gave me what I considered a fair quote. He warned me of the situations that would affect the cost of the job, but luckily none of those situations happened. When he did the work, he worked around my crazy schedule and worked unsupervised. He's also a nice guy. He's first on my list next time I need a plumber.
Whoa Baby... what a find! I got myself my go to plumber- it's Frank.
So my yard's water pressure was high- very high- and I was popping my irrigation valves. With us in a drought, I was getting socked with Donald-sized water bills. Frank of F&A was recommended to me and he set me up with a pressure reducing valve, hose bib and now it's all good again. My tomato plants are singing already.
A good Plumber is someone I want on my team and you will too. Use Frank and get it done quickly, professionally, by a friendly guy who is very fair with his pricing.
I do like firing people but to Frank- you're hired.

Customer service simply doesn't get any better than this. Responsive, efficient, friendly and knows his business. I have rarely seen anyone work as hard as Frank, and his prices are beyond fair. I wish there was a way to give him another star in this rating.
Quick to answer the phone, quick to respond, and had the issue solved within 30 minutes! If you use someone else, then you will only have yourself to blame!
I discovered a leak in one of my water pipes and did some on-line research on plumbers. F&A Plumbing had great reviews so I went with F&A Plumbing. Frank showed up at the scheduled time, crawled under my house, assessed the problem, gave me a reasonable quote that I agreed to and he promptly changed out the leaking piece of pipe. Frank was polite and courteous. He knew what he was doing and I would recommend his services to anyone!
Frank at F & A was fantastic, quick and very reasonable. Would not hesitate to recommend them.they changed my kitchen faucets & did it quickly. Very reasonable. Very clean and the price was right.
Frank and his team are fantastic. Very prompt and clear in communication and assessment. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I especially appreciated that while doing the work, Juan regularly checked in, explained what he was doing, and when relevant provided options. He did great work that really helped fix a frustrating issue. I would highly recommend them!!!!
very professional. Honest and helpful. Came over and fixed the problem,our kitchen sink. fixed the problem in minutes, and didn't even charge, because it was simple fast. really nice guy! Will call and use again. highly recommended.

Frank is very responsive, polite, respectful, and open to kicking around solutions to come up with the best approach for a situation. His prices are reasonable and he is very adept at troubleshooting. You always know when he is expected to arrive because Frank is very good about communicating his ETA. He always covers his shoes, cleans up, and makes sure that the fix is working properly before he leaves. I would absolutely recommend Frank and will continue to call him whenever I need a great plumber.

Frank is the best!!! He had to come in and fix a leaking water heater that had previously been worked on before. His customer service was over and above excellent, he had to come back to our house several times and did so within a day. I was most impressed by the fact that he would research the problem before he came to work on our plumbing so that he was prepared to fix it efficiently. His prices were totally reasonable and he was always upfront about how much parts and services would cost. I highly recommend Frank and will certainly use his services in the future.
Frank is a professional and solid guy. I had a tricky drain repair above the ceiling and with very limited access. Out of all the plumbers I spoke with, Frank quoted the most reasonable approach and cost, without B.S. extras like $200 charge for limited access. On the day of our appointment, he called ahead to give me his ETA, arrived on time, did the job, and cleaned up afterward. He even replaced an old kitchen faucet for only the cost of the parts because he was already there. What a pleasure to work with an honest and decent plumber. When I notice afterward that there was still a small leak, which is understandable given the tricky repair and my 80-year old plumbing, Frank came right back the same day and took care of it. If you need any plumbing work, call Frank!
I heartily recommend F & A Plumbing. Had garbage disposal and toilet issues, they answered my call immediately and sent a courteous and professional team out the next day. They did great work and at a very reasonable price.
I reached F&A over email to address a leaky water heater. They responded promptly and came out to evaluate and provide an estimate the next day in Pacifica. They were very responsive and got everything fixed up to code in addition to replacing the busted water heater. Despite complications they also kept to their original estimate. I would definitely recommend them if your water heater goes bad.

Frank called me promptly and I was very grateful because it was Friday before New Years weekend and at least 5 plumbers were called and 2 were busy and 2 never called back. F & A Plumbing was very professional and got the job done. I highly recommend Frank.

Frank is da BOMB. Total pro. Worked well past the quote time to get it right and stayed on quote. I've used him for a few odd jobs...always on time, every time. Highly recommend
Frank is prompt and easy to communicate with. He arrived on time and was very pleasant to work with. However, I was more than surprised at the $550.00 labor bill to replace a single kitchen faucet (I bought and provided the faucet). Great service but I would recommend getting a quote prior to starting any job. I was anticipating spending about half that amount.
Excellent service on a kitchen drain clog. Prompt, thorough, clean, and reasonably-priced. I'd use them again.
Frank did a fantastic job fixing the water supply to our refrigerator. He was very prompt and efficient and reasonably priced! Frank will definitely be our go to plumber in the future.

For the past six months or so I've been working on our bathroom remodel and needed some extra help as I've been running out of time. After calling multiple plumbers, they all tried to up-sell me additional services that I didn't need or want. Frank was one of the only ones that gave me a good price on what I needed and didn't try to just make as much money as he could. In addition, he gave me a laundry list of great tips at no additional cost. He got in touch with me the day before he was scheduled to come, showed up on time, was polite and considerate, and even got the job done under budget! All in all it couldn't have gone any smoother. I will definitely get in touch with Frank if I ever have any more plumbing needs, I highly recommend him and feel as though he lets his integrity guide his work. Something I very much respect and wish other contractors would take note of.
Frank called right back and fixed the problem the same day! He was fair, polite and professional.

We needed an angle valve and supply line changed on our toilet. I know, it can be a do it yourself job but we are relatively new home owners and I'm still learning about how to be a mr fix it.
Frank was very professional on the phone and easy to set up at time with. He also comes out to give free estimates, unlike others who charge a fee just to go to see what the problem is. That said, he was also willing to give me an idea of how much it would be over the phone.
He called ahead of time to let me know he was on his way, took a look at what needed to be changed, let me know potential issues just so there wouldn't be any surprises, and finished up the job quickly and with no mess.
It can be a challenge finding great people to come and fix things in Pacifica so it's great that we found Frank. His prices are more than fair (someone else quoted me $275 to do the same job).

Bought a house and found out some issues just weren't right with the plumbing that Frank and Louis managed to diagnose. Their honest assessment on what was wrong and what it would take to fix were right on point. Would not hesitate for a second to call or suggest working with Frank.
Sorry for the length of this review, but if you are in the same situation as
we were, you will appreciate finding this great plumber.
After our kitchen faucet failed one week after moving into our new apartment,
I found Johnny of Citywide Plumbing on Yelp.
Johnny couldn't help us immediately, but referred us to Frank of F&A Plumbing.
Frank responded that afternoon, evaluated our problem as a worn mechanism
that was improperly worked on previously. Frank had told us upfront the
cost if he was able to repair the problem before he started the diagnosis.
But since the faucet was broken and inoperative he did not charge us anything.
He then suggested we shop for a replacement and gave us guidance as to the type of faucet kit to purchase and to give him a call when we had obtained it so he could help us with the installation. Before he left he gave us a firm price on the installation.
Frank also gave us some suggestions as where to look and a price range
to expect. It gave us confidence when going out that night to the OSH store
nearby and found a proper equivalent replacement. As soon as we called
Frank that evening, we set up an appointment for the following morning.
He came on time as agreed upon and he efficiently, carefully installed
the new faucet kit and cleaned everything up afterwards.
The charge was a little less than was quoted as extra hoses and connectors
were not required. Polite, timely, efficient and professional.

I was recommended to Frank by a friend and have been extremely pleased with his work. He has come to the rescue twice when I have had plumbing needs. He is very efficient, courteous, clean, and professional. I was impressed by Frank's ability to diagnose the problem so quickly and then take care of it right away. I will continue to use him as a plumber and highly recommend him to anyone else.
Pacifica's best plumber! Frank is honest, thorough, and does high quality work. He really cares about his customers; I feel very well taken care of by him. And he has always come when he says he will, I'm never left waiting. If you're looking for someone to take care of your plumbing needs, I highly recommend Frank!
Frank came and helped us with a blocked sewer line at very short notice. He was professional and clearly explained the different options he would try and the price for each. During the process he explained in detail what he was doing so a non-plumber like myself knew what was going on.
Frank helped me re-configure my faucet bibs for installing a washer/dryer in a very small closet. When I changed my mind about the way they should face, he was kind enough to come back out & change it for me. 5 Stars for patience alone!

Frank replaced a blown out water heater. Top notch work. Quality repair and replacement of piping and fittings. Attention to detail on boiler mounting and fastening. All around solid job. I would trust Frank to any plumbing job any day. (Incidentally, I'm a mechanical engineer professionally trained to know what quality plumbing and mechanical installation looks like.)
Frank was GREAT! Fair price, honest work, nice and extremely reliable. Thank you Frank!
I looked for a plumber on Yelp. I called several plumbers and found Frank to sound honest. Call it a woman's intuition. He came out and put in a new water heater for us. I found him to be very pleasant, polite, informative and most of all his work was professional and clean. I felt he gave us a fair price.
I will definitely call Frank if I have any other plumbing needs.

Frank got my H20 heater working again lickety split. I really appreciated his friendly demeanor and his willingness to accommodate me into his busy post-holiday weekend schedule! I will definitely call Frank again for any plumbing needs.
Frank has handled our plumbing issues and projects in two of our homes and his work has been impeccable, high quality and timely. His pricing is fair and reasonable. Frank is straightforward and honest and he'll be the one we'll call if anything comes up again. Thanks Frank!

Thank you Yelp reviewers for helping me find a real professional. I was a little hesitant because there were not hundreds of reviews - but this company has nothing but five star reviews - so I gave him a try. Now I wish there were six stars. Not only did Frank repair my drainage problem, he went out of the way to offer advice on what to do next. Not a sales pitch; just an easy to understand explanation of the reasons for my problem in the first place. All of those positive adjectives used in the other reviews are spot on, and if there were more I would add them on here. I will definitely refer Frank at F&A to anyone with plumbing issues.
F&A Plumbing is awesome! Frank is professional and fixes any plumbing problems fast. I will definitely hire him again.

Frank did some plumbing work at my house His price was fair. He strikes me as straightforward and honest. His workmanship was fast, high quality and aesthetically pleasing. I had questions later, and he was responsive and helpful. He took pride in his work and stood behind it. I will call him again when I need plumbing work.

Frank is the best! He's completed three jobs for me now -- fixed my toilet, hooked up my refrigerator water dispenser, and he just fixed a dripping faucet for me. He is professional, friendly, and reliable. He's also easy to schedule and to work with. He answers phone calls and has excellent customer service all around. He's also competitively priced. I had multiple bids for my refrigerator project, and Frank was the most reasonable. I feel like F&A Plumbing is a total gem in Pacifica. As a homeowner who never knows what might go wrong with the house, he's definitely my go-to in the plumbing arena.
great service competitive Pricing honest and on time for repair all-around good guy I would recommend him very highly
I've used these guys for my home, my business, and property I manage and every experience has been top tier. Frank is straight forward with the cost and the solutions were always permanent and not pieced together. He has helped with projects as simple as replacing a faucet to cutting into a wall to replace a leaky drain. Highly recommended!
