Best in San Francisco CA

Bought this house 1-1/2 years ago.  Previous owner had installed a HUGE jet bath in master suite.  Problem:  the hot water tank is inadequate to supply the tub, and the closet space where the tank sits is too small to accommodate a larger tank.  So going tank-less is an obvious answer, or add a circulating water heater for the jet bath.  After considering all the obstacles (house is built on a steep hillside, maze-like subfloor space, the jet bath is encased in a granite platform, etc), I gave up on the do-it-yourself options and had a tank-less unit installed by WHM.  I am glad I had it done professionally.  The job was started before 9 am, and finished close to 7 pm that day.  The work would have taken me at least three days, including many trips to home supply center and a lot of swearing.  Oh, and doing without water for that period of time.

It had the makings of a plumbing catastrophe.

Our laundry room had flooded and water was leaking through to the garage below. After checking the usual suspects, I couldn't find the culprit and was convinced I'd need a plumber. At the recommendation of our realtor and friend, I called Robert at Friendly Plumbing. He asked a lot of informed questions and then calmly, systematically helped me pinpoint the likely cause and possible solutions. Robert said he'd  happily come out and check for himself, but that I should try one of his fixes first.

You've got to hand it to a guy who'll help you solve your own plumbing problem before potentially charging you a fortune to do it himself. Next time I have a real plumbing catastrophe, I know who I'll call.

Used these guys twice now to clean out roots growing in the sewer main. Professional, friendly, honest brokers.  Very highly recommended.

Cabrillo was great!!! Brian Bufford was the best!!! I needed to have 2 hot water tanks replaced. Brian was professional, nice, and friendly!! He arrived when he said he would. Felt safe and comfortable. He got the job done, stress free!! I would highly recommend Cabrillo, local San Francisco plumbing and they get the job done!!

Shawn installed a laundry sink and replaced the water main valve. Great customer service. Very happy with new sink. Thank you so much, will call again definitely.

I've worked with Josh a few times now and they have taken care of our plumbing in our rental properties for some time. Fast, efficient and reasonably priced, I would definitely recommend josh and his company to any one, any time. whatever your plumbing needs, give him a call, they're the best!!!

Best water heater company ever!!

Hydroflow were working on a radiant heat system next door to my house about a week ago, the guys had always said hello and been super polite working so we had a good informal repor.  
So leaving the house one afternoon i met garry the owner, we chatted about the waterheater in my house.Our water heater was having issues- some we were aware of (small leaks and brownish water problems) others we didnt realize (how slow it was to reheat the water) till we replaced it.  I don't know the first thing about boilers or waterheaters, but the owner garry simply laid out the problems and explained both what was wrong and an options to fix it. He seemed extremely fair and walked me through all the steps and never even tried to sell me anything...gosh!! so refreshing!!

My water heater was ten years old,out of warranty and an eye sore from the previous installer. Garry gave me a breakdown of what was involved to replace, a time line and price. $1450, i did check his price against others that evening when i got back home and realised he was very, very fair considering his expertise, i rang three other companies two of them were more expensive but all three were trying to push me so hard i decided i wanted to deal with a plumber and not a sales man.
i've read  so many bad tales about companies installing waterheaters and boilers wrong  that i was hesitant but now i was trusting my gut.
The  next day i rang hydroflow, got talking to garry and just booked them in for the following day.
They arrived on time, beautiful installation, the new water heater is more silent, more efficient and yes clean water!!!!!! i was so happy i tipped the guys $100... a small price to pay for peace of mind, a great job done and still so much cheaper than some of the big brand companies that are so informal!!
Hydroflow have somthing that other plumbing companies lack, integrity!

I had Neil out to take care of installing a shower pan last week.  I wasn't around, so my tile guy supervised the work.  He said Neil did a great job, was quick, efficient and did a great job.  Neil ended up doing a few other repairs for issues he found while he was down there.  Now the toilet doesn't wobble, the new shower pan is solid, and everything flows properly.  He had to get a new drain for the new pan, and everything looks great.  The old one didn't fit right and I'm glad he didn't try to pass it off as good enough, because I don't want good enough.  I want it done right.  
Would highly recommend his service to friends and family.  Neil was very communicative and easy to work with, especially since I wasn't able to be around for the project.  He gets the concept of customer service and not just trying to nickel and dime you for little things.  Good to see things getting handled correctly, you don't see that much in the trades these days.

Needed to get an inspection done on our backflow valve and was recommended by our family plumber to Allen at C&L, gave him a call and got a response in a quick and timely manner. I let him know what needed to be done, and he told me when he can come out and take a look. He came by at our scheduled time and took care of the inspection quickly. Efficiency is always appreciated.

Raffi from Shawn Sewer stopped by today to help with a faucet that was way under pressure, I had went out and bought a new facet thinking that would fix the problem, just needed Raffi to install it for me, rather then just installing and going on his way he instead tried to help me out by simply switching out a little filter which solved the problem and saved me tons of money now I can go return that faucet. Completely happy with his professionalism and honesty. Will only go with discount plumbing from now on!

Our radiant floor heating stopped working suddenly, just as winter was setting in. Our place became very cold in the evenings through the early mornings, and we have little ones at home. We called up Niall to see if we could get some help with getting our radiant flooring turned back on.

When we spoke to Niall on the phone, and explained our situation - he was extremely kind & empathetic. He immediately said he'd see if he could come out that morning to get the water heater fixed and re-enable the radiant floors.

Sure enough, within just three hours of the call, Niall showed up at our place and needed just twenty minutes to figure out what was happening with the water heater. Not only did he get it turned back on, he explained to me what had happened (there was no water PSI in the tankless heater) and what I could do to re-enable the radiant heating myself should the PSI drop again.

Niall is extremely competent, very kind, reasonable on his prices, and is just generally the type of merchant that you want to buy services from. I can't recommend him & ROS Plumbing enough.

I've used F&S for a few years now and I've always had an excellent experience. They are always prompt and professional. Have not had issues with their work after it's been completed. I highly recommend F&S.

As a general contractor scheduling and pricing with subcontractors can be difficult and ever changing; not with Chris Renstrom. He is a true professional who stand by his work, knows all the ins and outs of San Francisco, shows up when he says he will and his crew is fantastic. I would not work with any other plumber and could not recommend him more highly.  Honest pricing, always on schedule, I could go on, this is the guy.

I wish I could give 10 stars in this review. Robert was the plumber on the job.. He was extremely knowledgeable and he never gave up. This was very challenging clogged bath tub, which was difficult to fit the snake in, and had a hard T that it was very difficult to get past. A previous plumber was also unsuccessful. He never gave up during the job. Instead he persevered, using his knowledge and experience, and managed to break through the blockage to remove the hair that was causing the clogged bathtub. Highly recommend Robert at Chosen Rooter & Plumbing. Thanks Robert!

Excellent Service!  That really sums up how Michael approaches his work.  He originally spoke with my wife about an issue we were having with our drain.  She made an appointment with him to come over the very next day.  Michael promptly showed up at the agreed time and was very friendly and courteous.  He went on with his work like a skilled surgeon explaining everything along the way and even provided some tips on how to ensure a trouble-free plumbing future.  All this plus he charges a very reasonable price. Great work Michael!

Was really pleased with the service! Communication was great, the price was very reasonable, and they really took the time to focus on the areas I mentioned. Will definitely be using them again!

I had a very positive experience with Tom from Mike Testa plumbing.  We had purchased a new washer and without going into detail, there were problems with the installation.  Tom immediately diagnosed the issues and recitified them.  Happy client!

we had a leakage at midnight, no one answered phone
