Nearby Plumbing Handymen in San Francisco

He not only fixed the plumbing issue, but let the wall dry, put up new sheetrock, painted and caulked the wall. He did it with not problem. He is just awesome and is very friendly. He can do a lot of things and is a good guy to have around. He is very trustworthy and I let him work on my home even if I'm not homeshow more

went very well. Tim came in with one of his team members to do an impressive job. The area where he covered up the hole so well covered that I can't even tell where the hole used to be. He was responsive via email and text throughout the entire process leading up to the work. the work took the amount of time he estimated and he and his team mate were a pleasure to work with. Only minor constructive feedback is if payment could be made available electronically. had to pay with a physical check but Tim was kind enough to forego collecting onsite and allowed me to mail to himshow more

If you want peace of mind, Sun Builders Bob Otterson is your guy!! We cannot recommend Bob highly enough!!! When we called to get an estimate, he answered immediately was wonderful and helpful over the phone and said he would be there the next morning. He was right on time! We called him about dry rot issues. We were having our home painted and needed the work done as soon as possible. We pretty much knew we were going to have to have our back door replaced but we were under time constraints, needed a specific type of door and a pet door installed. Bob got right on things and was back with an estimate on all work and materials within the day and said he could start working the next day. Omigosh!! He showed up right on time and was a whirlwind!! He brought all of the materials needed for the job. He got right to work and in the blink of an eye he had many things done. He has every power tool imaginable which expedites everything. Someone else would have taken much longer to complete the jobs. He did every job thoroughly and professionally, always going the extra step to make things perfect. He did extra things to make the repair last.....extra caulking, etc. There was a stucco repair another estimator told us he did not want to fix with stucco. Bob did it with stucco and it is beautiful. Because our house was built in 1921 and nothing is square and everything has been modified our house presents challenges. Our new hallway wall heater stuck way out because walls are different now. He molded around it beautifully. Bob was told our door would take over a week to get. Bob got it in a matter of days, in time for the paint job!!!! I think it is because he is such a wonderful guy, and is always checking on things, etc, they got the door done for him in record time!!!! Which benefited us tremendously!! It was quite a challenge to get our door in because things weren't level. He shimmed and amazingly cut trim on strange angles to make everything look amazing!!!!!!! Our cat is our baby and the cat door was a big issue that Bob got done by having the cat door installed when the door was made. The sad thing is our cat doesn't want to use the cat door because it is not see through and her old one was. WELL, NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!! BECAUSE WE HAVE BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I realized the problem, I thought, BOB CAN DO ANYTHING!!! HE IS CREATIVE IN SOLVING PROBLEMS AND HAS AN IDEA FOR EVERYTHING. YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE PEACE OF MIND I HAVE NOW BECAUSE OF BOB!! Sure enough, when I told him, he said no problem!!! Also, the tile he cut for our plumber is hard to get. On his own time, after he was paid and the job should have been over, he went to three different places between Berkeley and San Leandro to find the tile, dropped it by.....and he got it for FREE!! They gave it to him as a sample......because he is a great guy. Bob Otterson is someone you want on your team!! Because our jobs were complicated, Bob greatly underestimated the time involved but stuck to his estimated job cost!!!!! Additionally he purchased everything, picked up everything including the door and disposed of things on his own time. We paid him extra because he earned it, deserved it, and is worth it. We have always needed a handyman....we are not too handy and things have deteriorated. NO MORE!! We will use Bob now for everything. We had other jobs scheduled that I wish we would have used Bob for. He can do anything and knows about everything. No job is too big or too small. He can do everything from plumbing to electrical to flooring to cabinetry to cat doors!!! Thank you Bob!! I usually don't take so much time on a review, but wanted to share this. You can hire Bob and have peace of mind alsoshow more

Initially, there were hard to get in touch with. But once the job was scheduled, they were prompt and efficient. I was impressed with their work ethic. They were perfectly willing (and even enthusiastic) to start another item on the list at 4 PM on a Friday. Eric did most of the miscellaneous jobs but I deferred to the master plumber (Saul) for one item. All in all, it was a very positive experienceshow more

I needed a plumber to come within 24 hours for a broken toilet. I left John a voicemail and he returned my call promptly and told me upfront that he could not perform the job I needed in the timeframe I needed. I would use him in the future based on his professionalism in returning my call even though he knew I would not be using him this timeshow more

I recommend him very, very highly. He does fantastic work. He is a licensed general contractor. He is excellent and he does just about everything. I am very pleased with his work. His prices are very reasonable. He was recommended by a neighbor. He charges $40 an hour which is very good compared with what an electrician or plumber would charge. He works very fast. His prices are very, very reasonableshow more

This is a coop, so your experience might vary with the individual handyman. The person who answered the phone was prompt in sending out a plumber, but later when I needed assistance, she was unavailable. The plumber's name was John. Unfortunately, I had to go to work and was handling this by phone from work. John was going to assess the situation and get back to me. He left me a message saying that he was going to have to dig the line out, that it looked like a major job, and that he was going to get started. He did not leave a call-back number. I was apalled that he would begin work without my authorization, so I called the Coop back to ask them to ask him to stop. I didn't want to pay someone plumbers wages to dig out a pipe. There was no answer, so I left a message. (No one ever got back to me.) Then I immediately took off work and drove home. I live an hour from where I work. By the time I got home, he had found the problem and was fixing it (not such a major job after all). Later I found him wandering around my house looking for me. I guess he had knocked and I didn't hear him. Still, it seemed rather unprofessional and a little creepy that he would just walk into my home. He asked to clean up in the bathroom and borrow a towel. Plumbing is dirty work and I thought it odd that he didn't bring his own towel. Anyway, the project ended up costing me less than $300. As I had paid a plumber more than $600 for a similar job in the past, that seemed like a reasonable price. By the way, the third time I had this problem, I fixed it myself for the price of a piece of sewer pipe. I might use this company again, but they would not be my first choiceshow more

We are new to this house and unfortunately, within several days of moving in, we experienced our first ever sewer main back up. The city came and cleared the blockage from the main, but we needed a plumber to come to snake out the inside pipes to clear the problems that the blocked main had created in the house. I had previously used a different plumber (also found here on Angie's list) to fix a leaking sink and called them about the sewer main issue and they told me that they wouldn't be able to come out for another day or two -- which was kind of unthinkable when raw sewage is backing up in the house. I went back to Angie's List and found Bayshore and they were here within a couple of hours. Not only did get the waste lines flowing again, but they were able to address the other items on my plumbing wish list. Menny also did some caulking around my kitchen sink, free of charge. From now on, Bayshore will be my first call with any plumbing issuesshow more

The work all went great. We easily passed all our inspections and we're very happy with our experience with Walter. The only drawback is that now that he's in the full-time plumber game, he has a lot of service calls that can take him away from his schedule and there were times we had to wait for him to be available. That's the only reason for the 'B' in punctuality, but I think that's the price you pay when you find someone who is great at what they do. Walter is a great guy who will go far beyond what is expected of him. I recommend him highlyshow more
