    Jeff A.

    We had a corroding hot water supply line under a sink that we wanted to replace. Unfortunately we have galvanized pipes, and Lee was worried that working on the top part under the sink could actually cause something to break down under the house. He suggested that we get all the galvanized (very old galvanized from 1956!) replaced with copper, not a job he actually does so this was not an effort to up sell us. We have used Kratzer plumbing before replace a hot water heater, and we were happy with their work so that's why we had them back. Because he did not perform any plumbing work, he chose not to charge us. Talk about honesty! I will call Lee back every single time from now on!

    Well, it all started when the shower handle broke off ...the stem actually broke! I didn't even know that could happen. To top it off, it was Dec 31! After calling a few places we were fortunate enough to find Lee. He understood the issue and was able to replace the shower cartridge even though there was no stem left to pull on. Great knowledge and skill, appreciate the great service!

    I was just wondering how much it would be to replace the wax under a toilet that is leaking water from the side?…

    Hi Vickie, for a regular wax seal install the cost is about $230. I charge $200 per hour with a one hour minimum plus any parts. The wax ring is $8, new brass bolts are $8, new flexible supply line $12, bolt caps $2. In most cases this job only… Read more

    Anyone know the actual phone number here? Every time I try to call it goes to EJ plumbing? Thanks!

    Hi Kelley, we were closed for the week and had the phone forwarded to EJ. Our phone number is 650-279-1834. We are closed weekends and respond to text. We are a one man shop and are typically booked 3-4 days out

    Install new toilets and gets rid of old ones?

    Yes, Lee does that. He installed a new toilet for us, and even advised us on which models to purchase, in terms of reliability/performance - talk to him before you buy! He was very meticulous and very careful to keep our house clean. He will… Read more

    Luckily, Lee had a last minute cancellation so he was able to come later that afternoon and fixed the issue in 2.

    I always say, while having a good initial experience is nice, have great FOLLOWUP is even better!…read moreThis is how you tell if a company will stand behind their work - for things done on your house, I think that is CRITICAL. A few days ago I noticed that on one of our faucets, if I closed the hot water side too fast there was a little bit of a rattle under the house. I thought I could handle it myself after asking Perplexity what it could be and installed a water arrestor. That didn't help so I thought, maybe it could be the strapping. I reached out to Handy Plumbing Man on a Saturday and they were quick to respond that they could have someone there on Monday. Monday morning came and their technician, Miguel, went down and found that one of the pipes they had worked on wasn't totally secured. No problem, mistakes happen. He said he'd call the office to get technicians over to check the strapping on the work below. I had to go into work but did get a message from them later on that day to see if they could get someone over the same day (Monday) to fix it. This is more on me that I had already gone into work, but they said they could do tomorrow morning at 8am. The guys, Carlos and Baltazar, came bright and early, went under the house and secured the pipe and then some. Awesome company!

I gave them a call and apparently Eddy had recently broken his wrist so he couldn't personally come out and see the property. Jorge, who works with him came out and did a thorough investigation of the place and provided a quote comparable, to the competition. The reason I went with these guys was Jorge impressed me with his attention to detail and thoughtfulness. He explained how pluming worked to me, potential issues with my setup that won't be addressed, what I need to watch out for. I felt like all the steps he laid out were reasonable and I knew very well the quirks with my particular system afterwards. Nothing much to talk about regarding delivery - prompt, on budget, on time, did everything that was promised. I'm no pluming expert, but didn't notice anything out of place from a cursory view. Didn't notice any leaks a couple days later. For future jobs, I'll still reach out to these guys. Hopefully it'll be for something smaller than overhauling my entire sewage system...

The job was complicated by 16 years of rust and hard water and pre-existing terrible cracked granite countertops that hadn't been sealed and protected well at all around the faucet area. Eddie was able to schedule me within 48 hours of my call and Jorge from #1 Honest Plumber showed up ready to go. He inspected the issues with my sink and gave me an extremely reasonable flat-price quote to do the work. I agreed and then watched as Jorge did a skillful surgery to excise what remained of the old faucet, patched up my terrible granite like a dentist would patch up a cavity, and installed and tested my new faucet and soap dispenser. Jorge was polite, friendly, professional, efficient, tidy, careful and didn't even roast me for my ham-fisted attempts at DIY work before he showed up. It doesn't get much better than that! Thanks, #1 Honest Plumber team. You guys had my back and I will 100% call you back again when I get in over my head on a plumbing job.
