Recommended Customer Reviews

We had some issues with the plumbing in our house, a pipe leak. They came out to give an estimate and I thought that was kind of expensive. I called two other plumbers, got two other quots. The neighborhood plumbing turned out to be right in the middle between the two other quots, so I decided to go with them. The work was done without any complications. The plumber wasn't very communicative. I felt like he didn't want to explain what is going on and what he needs to do to fix the problem. But the work was done and the issue was fixed.

I've hired Leo of Neighborhood Plumbing for three jobs - clearing a clogged bathroom sink drain, replacing a kitchen faucet, and replacing the sewer line from inside the garage out to the street - and was planning on calling him today to fix a newly-leaky garbage disposal, only to find that he is not taking on new jobs due to the pandemic.
Suffice it to say that I wouldn't be a repeat customer were I not so impressed with the first job they did for me, the sewer line replacement that began on a Friday in September of 2014. That morning I discovered a pool of raw sewage emanating from the garage floor drain. Not good. Leo was the first plumber I reached who could come out that day get started with clearing the sewer line to the street. Hired!
(You can skip the next 2 paragraphs if you want.)
Once Leo began work, his big motorized drain augur failed to clear the blockage. A video inspection revealed tree roots to be the culprit - not at all surprising given the ca. 1900 vintage of the home. A proper and permanent fix would require the replacement of about 35 feet of old clay pipe with new iron pipe, beginning 15 feet inside the garage and extending all the way to the curb.
Thankfully, Leo was ready to start digging immediately and was willing to work Saturday and Sunday to complete the job. He moved for me to a safe location the many boxes in the garage that would have obstructed his work. He took breaks in his work so we could use water (think shower, toilet) at coordinated times throughout the day. And Leo & team even took care of replacing the portions of the garage floor and sidewalk that they had to jackhammer and remove in order to dig 4 feet down to the sewer pipe; concrete work was finished on Monday morning.
As I write this - years after the initial work was performed - there have been no blockages of the sewer line and sink drain that Leo cleared, the concrete he poured hasn't cracked, and the lovely Grohe faucet he installed continues to perform like new. In short, the work he performs is of high quality and it lasts.
When you need a plumber for any size job, you can call on Neighborhood Plumbing with confidence!

Five stars for honesty, being on time and being a very nice man! Leo is absolutely a gem! He is a pleasure to get to know.

We used Leo and his team for the sewer line in our house. Cement, sewer line, roofing drains, clean out cap and inspections were all completed within three days. There was no mess to clean up after job was finished. Fair price & excellent team. Highly recommend Neighborhood Plumbing.

Had work done by Leo today and a few weeks ago. He arrived on time (on the early side of the window of time he gave me) and was very efficient and professional. Good communicator and what very practical about what was and was not worth fixing. Will definitely use Leo again.

Leo did a great job replacing the main sewer line at my house. It was a sudden emergency, I got several quotes and Leo gave me the best price. When the job became more difficult than expected he still honored the price. He also replaced a few drain pipes outside the house for free because they were rusty. He completed the work in a timely fashion, always answered my calls, kept me updated and provided great service. I was 100% satisfied and would definitely recommend him for any plumbing service.

I bought Toto toilet Neorest RH at Excel plumbing.
This toilet is expensive so I asked the store to recommend a good plumber who is familiar with the installation. They gave me Leo's card. I emailed Leo , received quick reply about the appointment and was offered the installation the next day after the appointment. So far so good.
Leo came and was very pleasant person and emailed me the bid the same day.
I felt his bid was high and invited Advanced Plumbing for the second bid, because this was not emergency.
Gabriel from Advanced Plumbing quoted the price which was almost three time less than Leo's. I accepted and Gabriel started installation right away and finished the job to my complete satisfaction.
Leo is probably a good plumber , based on Yelp, and has the right to charge any fee he wants and assumes that the customer from Pacific Heights, where I live, is stupid and will pay any inflated price.
People please have another bid when hiring Neighborhood Plumbing.

Leo and crew were consummate professionals. I couldn't be happier with the results. Leo pulled permits, coordinated and did everything according to schedule for a fair price.
I would certainly use them for outdoor plumbing work. If you EVER have any troubles with your P-Trap or Lateral, they're the guys to call.
I got a nastygram from the city saying I needed to fix the p-trap, so in addition to fixing that, I did the lateral as well. Leo himself was out there digging, cutting, sweating, toiling along with his guys and did everything to a perfect T. Inspection signed off, they buttoned it up, and it was like nothing happened.
Perfect guys for a big job in my opinion. Honestly you don't have to look anywhere else for a nice, honest guy, who can fix your stuff with quality, expediency, and care.

Leo has helped me out multiple times for my property in San Francisco. He company gets back to me the day of in regards to availability and Leo always shows up in a timely manner. He does a very good job of explaining the situation in layman's terms and provides multiple solutions. His pricing is very fair. No hesitation for recommending Leo and his company.

I submitted a request on-line and received a response immediately from Neighborhood Plumbing. I was able to get an appointment that fit my schedule. On the day of the repair, Leo arrived on time and was extremely polite, courteous and knowledgable. The clog my sink had was more challenging to fix than expected. Leo took the time and effort to get the parts and repaired it to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Neighborhood Plumbing.
