Skehan Construction

John H.

Exceeded expectation. Very responsive, professional and rather than just replacing my water heater, they determined that they could just replace the burner on the existing one. Saved us a lot of money. Highly recommended.

Brendan Skehan is excellent in every way. If you need plumbing, building inspection, or construction services, look no further than Skehan. He is fair, honest, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Five stars are not enough!

The Yelp reviews on Brendan Skehan are accurate! Needed a plumber today and found Brendan thru Yelp. He knew what to do and how to do it. Knowledgeable, efficient, and reasonably priced!

Brendan is the man - great plumber, fairly priced, does very good work and is a nice family man to boot.

This review has been long over do. I live in a two story flat with a two-car garage and needed a washer and dryer installed. Unfortunately, my side of the garage did not have the water and electrical hook ups and to share the excising hookups of my upstairs neighbors, it would have been a pain in the Ass. That's because we would have had to split the electricity and the gas bill for the hot water. We also would have had to use just one washer and dryer between five people. For me, that's B.S. and I am not going to wait for someone to finish his or her laundry. I'm not in college anymore and I am too old for that SHEET!
So, for my flat, I decided to have a hot water pipe installed, from my furnace, to my brand new washer. I also needed to install the drainage pipe going out. If you only knew how difficult that would have been for me to do.
Having friends back home, in Boston, who are licensed plumbers and general contractors, I knew that I needed someone that knew their shit when doing a project like this and making sure that it's to code.
That's when I came to Yelp, hunting for a licensed plumber. Also, after living in the Outer Richmond and observing this neighborhood and all the mom and pop start-up business (electricians, plumbers, Key Smith..etc) in this city, I find a lot of them tend to be cheezy and seem to not have the proper training or doing their time as an apprentice that's required of these trades.
So my fellow Yelpers who are hunting for a Great Plumber, I can't say this enough and am telling you right now, Brendan Skehan kicks A$$ and knows Plumbing. He's a License Plumber, as well as a License General Contractor and did an awesome job installing the hot water pipe from my furnace and connecting the secondary drainage pipes my upstairs neighbors. He also re-plastered the sheet rock in my garage and all for a great affordable price.
BTW, here's customer service for you. I needed an electric cord for my new dryer, Brendan ran out, and purchased one for me at an awesome price, a lot cheaper than what I would have paid for at Best Buy. WTF..who does that? :)
Yelpers, don't let the number of reviews fool you. You may think that just because Brendan only has seven people that used him and has not established credibility. I'm here to tell you that he is a great plumber and is very HONEST and a very hard worker and got my job done in 3 to 4 hours. There's a reason why all seven yelpers gave him five stars, count me in as the eighth.
With his permission, here is Brendan's Plumbing License number to prove he's legit! Check it out..which is what you should be asking and doing any ways! ;) Brendan Skehan: Plumber's License #706346.
Thanks Brendan and will def call you again if I ever need you!

The 5-star comment above says it all ""Woohoo! As good as it gets!"" is right!


I was up to my eyeballs in a bathroom remodelling project -- had had a problem with water leaking into the flat below (not much, but -- !) And i wanted to be certain that we weren't going to have to go into the wall again to find a leak that I thought was repaired.

Found Brendan here on Yelp! -- never met him before, never heard of him before. He was a few blocks away so I called hoping he might be able to come by in an hour or two. He just happened to be on his way home and popped by.

THE NICEST guy. The equipment my guy was working with was Ace hardware-bought, not professional. I had just asked Brendan to look, but he just jumped in, totally started helping out. Then went to his place to get his torch...the nicest, most helpful guy. He totally had me over a barrell-- I needed him right then and he pretty much could have held me up for a lot of money.

At the end (he put in over two hours) crawling in and out of windows and up and down a 20-ft ladder, too. Was really pleasant to the guy who has been working with me -- they got on great.

I asked what he wanted and it was no where in the ballpark of what I'd expected (as in, his price was incredibly reasonable). I actually paid him more than he asked. And i DID tell him that I'd found him on Yelp! and would absolutely be on here singing his praises -- the least I can do. I'm a single woman with a pair of 1924-build flats...and so many people want to ""take"" you. Finding someone who's really nice, helpful, knows what he's doing and isn't out to gouge you is like manna from heaven.

Also, Brendan has lived in the neighborhood for years, father of 3 girls. That matters to me. It never hurts to have someone who's a ""neighbor"" and settled with a reputation to maintain..

THANK YOU, BRENDAN!!!

Brendan Skehan was great! He installed a dishwasher and repaired two toliets in our San Francisco house. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and punctual. He was also reasonably priced, charging me $360 for 3 hours of work including replacement parts for 2 toliets. Very pleased! Thanks fellow yelpers for the referral.

We had a problem and so we rang Skehan Plumbing, he came out a couple of hours later. Very friendly man, unfortunately he couldn't help us with our problem and so he didn't charge us for the visit! Will definitely be using him again for our plumbing needs.

I had a clocked sink and he showed up the same day and fixed the sink, the pipe and all for $100!

He's very nice, professional and reasonably priced - highly recommend him!

i have use skehan plumbing maybe about 7 times in the last 10 years i have alway found him to be vary fast in coming out to do any work that i need to get done i have alway found him to be reasonable in the prices compared to the other crooks out there there each time they come out they seem to be confindant in what they are doing and can find a solution to any plumbing troubles that i have i would highly recomend skehan plumbing to any homeowner like myself that has no ideal about construction and does not want to be rips off by some of the plumbing contractors that are out there .
