Home Plumbing
Company Overview
Hello from Home Plumbing! Since 1975, we offer expert plumbing services—featuring faucet and toilet repairs, and repairs for gas fireplaces. Our dedication to quality service combined with quick, friendly assistance sets us apart. Contact us now for all your plumbing and gas fireplace repair needs.
I have been working in plumbing throughout the Tri-Valley since 1975. I obtained my contractor's license (#460572) in 1984. I began with service tasks, I later moved into remodels and new home construction. During this time, I assisted local fireplace companies with gas line installations and gas log setups. Repairing or replacing dripping faucets and toilets is still a major aspect of my job. For over 20 years, I have extensively worked on repairing gas fireplaces and upgrading traditional fireplaces to gas and gas logs. This ensures your fireplace can be used on spare the air days. I can repair any brand of fireplace. I hold National Fireplace Institute certification (#143333). Nearly all fireplace brands endorse the expertise of an NFI certified technician for their repairs. Repairing fireplaces costs a fraction of replacement.
I’m Dan Schilling. I have resided in the Tri-Valley since 1963. With over 35 years of experience in plumbing and fireplaces, I started my career with my uncle, who ran Danville Plumbing. Customer satisfaction has always been my priority and I possess a natural ability to repair and enhance. While we did remodels and additions, our main focus remained on service and repair. In the 80s, gas fireplaces emerged as a trend, so my uncle and I installed gas lines and gas logs. The 1990s saw a rise in the popularity of gas inserts and fireplaces. We also managed wall furnace installations and repairs at Danville Plumbing, allowing us to easily repair gas inserts and fireplaces. I am the one you reach out to for plumbing or fireplace problems. I also handle the repairs myself. State License # 460572, certified by the National Fireplace Institute (NFI) #143333.

Recommended Customer Reviews

We had a plumbing concern in our guest bathroom for a few days. Found a highly recommended company on Yelp that came out to investigate. They sent two separate technicians out to our home and neither of them were able to determine the culprit.
Finally ended up calling Home Plumbing and Dan was able to solve our problem within 15 minutes. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous.
Experience makes all the difference when you are looking for a good plumbing company. Home Plumbing is the service I will be using going forward and recommending to all my friends.

Home Plumbing does fireplace repair! Dan Schilling is a licensed plumber, but highly recommended. Our fireplace was home builder installed over 10 years ago.
I wasn't disappointed. Dan Schilling said he repairs quite a few fireplaces each year. Just be warned that after September, he's really busy. However, I called him at the end of November 2017 and he came out pretty quickly December 11th. Our problem was the flame in the firebox pulsed then eventually went out. He explained the thermal dynamics of the pilot ignition and relationship of cold/hot air and how even the log or glow cotton can affect this pilot flame and is why our flame would extinguish after 10 minutes. Really knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions. The repair took about an hour and was very reasonable.

We worked with Dan on a transition from an electric cooktop to a gas cooktop. He helped us throughout the process, worked with our scheduling issues, and Dan did an excellent job of interacting with the San Ramon inspectors ... we highly recommend Dan and Home Plumbing.

About two weeks ago, I have asked Dan to come to help fixing my shower head. He was on time, polite, & knew his job. All my shower head needed was to replace a small part of it, & Dan's truck had it right there(no need to go out & buy one from a shop). He was prepared for his job & was professional. Thank you Dan. I will recommend Dan (Home Plumbing) to anyone who needs a good plumbing job.

I originally called on Dan to install the gas components for our backyard fire pit. I appreciated that his number one priority was on safety and asked a lot of questions about the way in which my fire pit was being installed by my contractor to ensure that it was being done properly. Once he came out for the install, I was incredibly happy with the quality of materials and the finished product. I've since called on him to replace 2 toilets. During the install, we realized that he couldn't replace one of the toilets as it had a built-in marble shelf right above it that connected to a vanity. I thought I was stuck having to totally remove the shelf and vanity, but Dan suggested that he could carve out part of the shelf just enough so that he had some wiggle room for the install. I was a bit nervous but gave him the green light and he returned the next week with the proper tools to make it happen. I couldn't be happier with the result and appreciate the ingenuity! And while I have a small carve-out in my shelf, it actually looks like it was meant to be there! Thanks Dan for going above and beyond!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Dan called me a few hours after I spoke to his office to set up a service call. He gave me a fair time window and ended up coming by 1 1/2 hours earlier. He called and kept me in the loop about time of arrival. Excellent diagnosis and repair of the problems, extremely reasonably priced, friendly, professional and knowledgable. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to work with Dan again. For plumbing issues, it doesn't get any better!

Dan just did a couple of jobs in our bathrooms and did a really nice job. His prices are very reasonable and fair. He's easy to work with and personable. I always like giving business to the local guy who is honest and trustworthy and hard working. That's Dan. I highly recommend his work.

We needed a gas fireplace repairman. Dan Schilling came highly recommended by a local gas fireplace retailer. We called and he responded quickly. He was on time and diagnosed the problem. What I appreciate most was the time he spent explaining the issue, our options and that he had all the parts with him to fix it. His pricing was definitely fair and we now have a fully functioning gas fireplace at our house. If you want someone who is professional, efficient and effective at getting the job done right - call him ASAP.

Dan was able to fix a leaky tub quickly and not at all expensive (especially compared to the large plumbing companies). I definitely recommend.

Best fireplace handyman around :) fair prices, good service, great guy! Highly recommend this business.
