Best Businesses in San Francisco, CA

Its been over a year ago & the boiler system they've installed for me is still going strong. I discovered them by accident. They were introduced to me by recovering an unfinished installation by the original contractor which left us without hot water for over 2 days. As a manager of this 12+ unit it was crucial. They were able to get the system up within the hour & follow up the next day to complete the installation, done it with precise knowledge & time of completion. I've hired my share of contractors in my 40 years in this business & can distinguish expertise verses just fumbling around hours on the job. These are not amateurs. You may at first be skeptical of the language barrier but their knowledge goes beyond language & good old fashion hard work. Being impressive of this outstanding job, I hired them again immediately on replacing another old iron tanked boiler system in an old SF building. Great teamwork when the majority of the difficulty was tearing the old system down in a confined space. The energy savings & reliability on this new system was dramatic. Their estimates are competitive & meets with their level of skill. The nickel & dime is not worth it when a job goes astray & is followed with headaches.  They've earned any of my major plumbing needs in the coming years. Undoubtedly 5 stars & wish them all with continuing years of success.

Slick Rooter & Plumbing and specifically the owner - Ferdie - are phenomenal! They do great work and have very reasonable pricing. I had a sewer line backup, and at no cost, Ferdie came out and did a camera inspection and showed me the roots coming through the clay pipe and the fact that in sections, it was completely broken. He put together a low-cost estimate (I had two other estimates and one was literally DOUBLE the cost he had given to me!) and was able to start the job the next day. He installed a trenchless pipe and also connected my drain pipe to go under the driveway and directly into the sewer line -- a San Francisco requirement with any sewer work. It was inspected by city inspectors and he patched up the concrete. The work just took a few days and looks great - the line is now working perfectly. I will use Slick Rooter & Plumbing for all my plumbing needs going forward and highly recommend his services.

Jose and Luis were great! The people who were supposed to install my range couldn't find the gas shutoff and refused to install it. I was able to get Jose and Luis over a couple of hours later. They located the shutoff in a secret compartment under one of our drawers. They were able to shut off the gas and detach the range. They were fast, efficient, and courteous and I would 100% use them again.

In the past two weeks, both of our really old bath and shower faucet systems gave out and were leaking. Genteel plumbers came out right away, both times, and fixed them. Customer service was great and they did everything they could to give us a good price. The plumbers were super friendly and answered all our questions along the way. We will definitely reach out to them again if we have another plumbing issue ... although here's hoping that doesn't happen for awhile.

10/10 excellent service! We had a urgent sewer issue at home and John was quick to respond. He came quickly, assessed the problem, and fixed our pipes in no time. He made the entire thing seamless. Very nice guy. If you run into any plumbing/sewer issues, I definitely recommend John!

Super friendly and efficient. We needed our security bars removed after we had an appraisal and they were able to come within the week to remove. Highly recommend D&M Tile Services.

I had some questions about tankless water heater, and Andrew on the phone was very savvy and helpful. Prompt and great customer service; definitely trustworthy and recommended.

Re: Clients property

I received your email on Thursday

R&L did not perform the work shown in the Invoice sent by R&L.

R&L sent an employee to get an idea of the work required and quoted about $2,000. This was comparable to other quotes we received and R&L was selected for the assignment.

When workers from R&L arrived late, during which several occupants of the building were present, the plumber that showed up looked at #143 and refused to do the work.

Late that same day, the owner of the business, Larry, showed up to looked at what needed to be done. Larry said they couldn't honor their quote and that if they did an hour of investigatory work they could requote.

We permitted the workers to do an hour of work on an investigatory basis to requote the work - during which the dishwasher in # 143 was pulled out and a hole was made in the drywall behind the dishwasher. The workers were unable to figure out with a test where the leak was. The workers left and sent a higher quote over to Birke (one of the building owners) which we declined to take them up on.  

R&L did not request a permit or manage inspection of any work, because they NO WORK was completed, either in the bathroom of #145 or the sink in #143.

Beware of this company!

I called Z&Z this morning about a leaking pipe. The person on the phone was nice and professional. She had a plumber, Jimmy, call me. He was incredible! He arrived at my house by 9:15am and had the pipes repaired by noon. Incredible service. Jimmy is smart and a great communicator. Seems to be a talented and experienced plumber. -TF

We found Plumbing Care through Yelp. Made an appointment for the same day for 7PM. We actually cancelled an appointment with another company which scheduled us to 2 days later. Martin came at almost 8PM due to delays of work prior to us. Martin did call to inform us about the delay which was OK with us.

Originally it was only to fix a leaking hot water shutoff valve under a sink. During the repair he found that our water heater's hot water pipe was also leaking and he replaced that for a very small charge. And during that repair, he found that we had set the water temperature too high at 130 degree which was unnecessary. I told him that it was just hot enough to shower at our master bedroom showers. Martin immediately realized that our home builder's plumber must have not set the shower facet's water temperature limiter (I didn't even know such thing exist) properly. So he adjusted the 2 shower facets for us with no charge.

I must say Martin must have saved us many hundreds of dollars in the long run because of his genuine care toward his customers. We highly recommend Martin to your plumbing needs!

Completely professional!  Worked around our schedule, was on time, followed up, flexible with payment, weekend rates extremely reasonable and very kind. Would recommend and will be my go to plumbing company. Family operated with ethics!  You won't be disappointed.

Rojas Plumbing is the second plumber I tried today.  I wish Ivan and his team from Rojas were the first.   He finished another job late in the day (Saturday) and still made time to come fix my problem (which was a huge mess - I will spare you the stinky details). Ivan (owner) is a pro.  Very knowledgable and gets right to the issues.  No excuses or crazy ideas.   He and his team focus on the problem and fix it.   They work fast, clean and professionally.  Ivan fixed the problem for a fair price and gave me advice so that the issue would not happen again.   I highly recommend Rojas Plumbing.

Adolfo was nice enough, and he responded quickly, but he was unable to clear a clog in the combined drain for my bathtub and kitchen sink.  He couldn't get at it from the bathtub and said that I'd have to get at the pipe from the floor below.  I called another plumber, Ace, who used a more powerful rooter to clean the drain from my kitchen sink.  That worked.

Alec has saved me from my house built in 1929 time and time again.  Over the last six years he has done everything from repairing broken pipes, constantly running toilets, dripping faucets to installing a new tankless water heater and installing new bathroom fixtures.  Alec is the best!

Jeremy and Christine of Everett Plumbing are awesome!!  They're hardworking, very knowledgeable and reasonable.  I couldn't recommend them more highly!  I'm so glad to have found them.

We had a great experience with Awesome Rooter.  Always on time, great communication, reasonable pricing. I will recommend Emilio to anyone who needs plumbing help.

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.

I was connected with Albert via my property manager to fix a leak in my bathroom. He responded promptly and set up an appointment ASAP. He arrived at the very beginning of the appointment window and fixed the issue in under 20 minutes. He also replaced all the ancillary parts to make sure everything was working as best as possible. Albert was very friendly and professional and communicated well. Happy to know a reliable and efficient plumber in SF!

I had a backed up kitchen sink I called Rooter hero they came out fast. And Jake fixed the problem only cost $77 the minimum charge. I highly recommend

Great service! I was stressed out about the kitchen that was clogged yesterday. Manny and his apprentice Xavier came today just in time. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. They solved the problem in less than an hour! Happy with their service!
