I kid you not, Boris from Bay Area Plumbing literally saved us over $1,000!
We had another plumber come earlier in the day to look at slowly leaking shower handle. There was a flange covering the plastic valve that needed to be changed, but he couldn't get it off. He claimed he would need to cut off a portion of our shower tile wall to access and replace the whole pipe. A service for which he wanted to charge us $1,300.
I was very skeptical, so I found Boris on Yelp, noticing he had really quick reply times for quotes, explain the situation, and an hour later that evening Boris was over at our place examining the problem. 5 minutes later, he was able to undo the flange, just with a simple tool, no saws, no breaking our wall apart, and just over $200 parts and labor. Would have been even cheaper if the other dumbass plumber didn't saw off a shower handle!
For the record the other Plumber was another five star plumber on Yelp. Moral of the story, not all five star plumbers are created equal. Go with Boris!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Mar 12, 2024Updated review
Had a water heater go out on me. Contacted Bay Area Plumbing early in the morning and Boris got back to me really quickly... I sent him some requested photos and he was able to to get me a new water heater and started the replacement project by 230PM.
Boris did a great job as always!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jan 2, 2023Previous reviewI had a problem with the kitchen drain... I did try snaking it, but it failed to clear the drain. It was time to bring in the pro. It is New Years Day at 8PM so I checked Yelp and sent a message to Bay Area Plumbing, I received a response in about 20 minutes, really surprised by this. It was not an emergency, but he had availability at 9AM on the 2nd.
Boris arrived early and I really appreciated it. He came in and accessed the situation. Boris worked quickly and efficiently, he was in and out with the drain cleared in 20 minutes. He did a great job in busting the clog and kept the work area clean. - Kevin K.San Francisco, CA301455May 19, 2024
Boris responded very quickly to our post, and showed up within the hour to fix our faucet. He found other issues our previous contractor overlooked and quickly fixed them and left us with a much more functional kitchen!

I've used Bay Area Plumbing twice for a clogged sink and once for a replacement hot water heater. I shop around each time and their prices always seem fair and competitive. Dispatcher is very knowledgeable and the plumbers are fast, efficient, and honest.

Used their website to request an appointment. No response. Called in and requested service. Was told the plumber doesn't like to work in my area of the city so will have the plumber call to confirm if they can help. No response.

Bad leak under my kitchen sink when I used my dishwasher. Boris came within a couple of hours of my call; identified, explained, and fixed the problem; all for a reasonable fee.

Boris has been out to our house in SF twice. Both times he was either on time
or early. One time was to clear a drain and the second time was to replace a faucet cartridge and a faulty shut off valve. Both times he was very professional and his work was top notch. Our previous regular plumber is mostly retired now; Bay Area Plumbing is our plumber for life. I don't think you can find a better plumber.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 9, 2023
For about a month I had been having problems with my air gap shooting out water whenever I ran my dishwasher. I looked on YouTube and unsuccessfully tried to fix it myself by cleaning the air gap from the top. I had used Boris before for my family home so I knew he was reliable and trustworthy. We set up a time, he arrived 10 minutes early and he replaced my air gap (12.99) and hose (9.99) and charge me his hourly fee (250.00) for labor. It took him about 20 minutes to fix the problem and I am VERY happy. I do believe this is the going rate since I had some electrical outlets that were out and it cost me the same hourly rate to have an electrician come out and fix the problem. I had some trouble reaching him through Yelp and he told me it's better to just call him rather than message him on Yelp. I highly recommend Boris to anyone.

I needed a plumber to install an under the sink filter and faucet. I created a Yelp request using the app and Bay area plumbing replied quickly. I was told it's best to stick with the same brand as the faucet and hot water tank. Once I had the parts they came the same day to install it. They did a great job and was quick under an hour. They were reasonable, responsive, and knowledgeable. I'm very happy with the results.
