We moved into our new home just three weeks ago, and what should have been a celebration turned into a serious emergency. After noticing a subtle sewage smell, we discovered that our plumbing had clogged, causing the cleanout pipe to pop off. Our entire crawlspace had become a literal lake of sewage. It was late afternoon on a weekend, but Alex from Francos Magical Plumbing showed up with a positive attitude--even though it was his day off. He worked deep into the evening to unclog the system and didn't stop there. He crawled into the disaster under the house, assessed the damage, identified further issues, and provided clear, expert solutions to get us through a very tumultuous time. The most incredible part about Alex was his spirit. He told me he truly loves his job, and it shows in his work ethic and transparency. My wife and I are so grateful for his help. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy our home knowing it's safe and handled by a pro. Ask for Alex--you won't regret it! read more

I was thinking oh great this plumber had great 5 star Yelp reviews so I had him give a free estimate. He was first of the plumbers to come out. The issue was no hot water coming out of shower of my tenant's apt. As a property manager that has dealt with this issue in the past, even I knew what the problem was. So Alex came out and said I had to not only replace the cartridge but the valve system as well bc it was rusted. Tenant thought it looked fine. Plumber gave an estimate of 1900.!!! I immediately said NO WAY! I think with the rest of the reviews maybe they took the estimate at face value and not knowing about plumbing issues just paid for it and was happy with the service! My experiences made me question that estimate! I hired another plumber and I told him the exact problem to repair saying I had this issue before on other apts I managed. And they fixed it for $ 385.( which is reasonable but still slightly higher, but I was tired of getting another estimate). So see the BIG difference I save over 1500.!!! So just a caveat, don't go with your first estimate blindly. Second, I ONLY go with FREE estimates, pay by the job and not the hour mostly. read more

Same day appointment , Edin came on time and got to work right way, he left for a bit to get what necessary he needed and installed a PRV with Gauge and also suggested to install a 2 gallon expansion, he made sure everything was working as expected and was very polite and I know I asked a lot of questions and he did not mind at all. Very professional and explained how everything should be working. One thing off my mind when doing laundry lol Highly recommend Franco's Magic Plumbing they also have 24 hour emergency available. THANK YOU!! read more

I had an old galvanized steel pipe where flow had slowed to a trickle. Alex came over and gave me a very competitive estimate, and did the work then and there. It got more complicated when the shutoff didn't completely shutoff and he had to replace that, too, again for a reasonable cost, all done same-day. Alex was professional and did great work. 5 stars read more

As close to magic as you can get for plumbing issues... friendly, smart, respectful plumbers.... thank you, Franco & Edin! Solved my problem. Will keep you in my contact list! read more

I replaced a Toilet Pump. They replaced it quickly, like within 15-20 minutes. Scheduling was pretty easy. This was a Non Emergency and I was able to Schedule within a week. read more

Another quick, excellent job. Previously, Franco came out to assist me with a situation involving my furnace drainage. Most recently, he came out to install a toilet. I very much recommend his business. I don't know plumbing so it's especially nice and important to me to have a professional who is clearly knowledgeable and is direct about what needs to be done and why and how long it will take and what it will cost. In my experience Franco has been fair, efficient, friendly and has done really quick, good, and clean work. read more

On time, knowledgeable, professional, solved our problem at a fraction of the cost we were quoted by another company (which claimed we needed a massive repair) read more

Franco responded almost immediately to our request for consultation and Alex arrived promptly to our appointment. Alex was patient in examining our water heater, trying to identify possible repair. We both agreed a replacement was necessary and Alex was able to purchase a new, remove the old, replace and haul away the water heater the same day. He was very thorough and careful. Would highly recommend!! What a great find! Thank you Franco. read more

This was back in February and I found time to give a review. I request service for a broken water heater. 4 to 5 plumbers replied. I pick Franco's because I wanted to deal with a person vs a big company with an operator. Franco came on the time that was agreed upon. He took on look and said my water heater was broken and I needed a new one. He gave me an estimate and I agreed and he started to fireplace the broken water heater. The job took 3 1/2 to 4 hours. When it was all said and done...he cleaned up every mess that was created and took away the old water heater. When his assistant showed up. I would recommend him. A+ read more

They were accommodating and able to provide service same day. The job was done fairly quickly, and they provided quality service. Would recommend! read more

Franco is our go-to for any plumbing issue. He's always quick to respond and provide quality service. We always appreciate how Franco goes through all the details of the problem and the fix. Thank you Franco! read more

Very responsive, high value work. I needed to install a seismic auto shutoff gas valve for insurance purposes. Franco knew exactly what I needed and delivered on time and as per quoted. read more

Franco was responsive and went above and beyond to replace a water heater at a rental property, working past business hours. Tenants will be able to take hot showers tonight! read more

On time arrive, good job snaking drain, cleaned up area afterwards. Pricing about the same as others. Will use again.

We recently used Franco's plumbing services for two projects and couldn't be happier with the results. The first project involved replacing leaking pipes leading to our toilet and bathroom sink. They were in terrible condition, but Franco and his team replaced them with new copper pipes in one day (see before and after photos). The second project was the installation of an external copper gutter pipe after the internal pipe began to leak quite a bit. It's a complicated job because, in San Francisco, the gutter must be connected to the home's sewer system - rain water cannot be drained out into the yard. Again, Franco and his team completed the project in a single day, and there was no leaking after our last major rain storm. Franco is very response, detail oriented, and does his work for a fair price. We'd highly recommend him! read more

Franco is amazing. He was able to assess on the spot the cost. I was floored at the value for services rendered. The work was outstanding, absolute quality. Franco is very quick to respond. And he is honest!!!! Other plumbing company came and gave a bid 10 times the amount of Franco's! This is an honest man. read more

Water heater broke and started leaking, Franco was here in about an hour. Gave me a reasonable quote without any games. The work hit some complications due to a dry wall getting in the way, him and his son had to do extra work and stay a bit longer than expected. They were really good about getting it all done correctly and professionally, and didn't charge me extra. I am a repeat customer and will call Franco in the future for any plumbing needs! read more

Fast response, so fast Franco came over in 30 minutes. I'm not handy at all and he was able to fix something for me that took him a few minutes and has given me total relief. Honest and responsive. Highly recommend. read more

Initial response to my request for service (via yelp) came within minutes on a Sunday. Same day appointment confirmed soon after. Better yet, Kyle called to ask if it was ok to come by one hour earlier than originally scheduled. We were thrilled. Best yet, Kyle inspected the pipes, gave us honest recommendations. He explained patiently, then did the high power hydro flushing & clean up afterwards all diligently. We are impressed, surely. We are very happy with the whole process and the 6 months warranty. Great applause to Kyle @ Franco's Magical Plumbing! read more

We had issues with a tub and toilet. I called Franco based on his awesome reviews and was hoping he would have time maybe the next day to come check it out. He told me would be able to come in about 30 mins! He arrived promptly as stated, checked out what the problems were and let me know he was able to repair everything-same day! He quickly did the work and quoted a very reasonable price for everything. I am so pleased I found Franco. He is a true professional who I will definitely call again in the future. Thanks again Franco! read more

OK, here's the deal... I got bids from five of the top rated, most popular big plumbing companies throughout the city for redoing the mixer valves in my two showers (one valve was leaking and the other one was partially clogged). I also checked out a number of smaller, but still highly rated, companies like Franco's for a price comparison. Franco's was slightly more expensive, BUT he was the only plumber who was able to replace the valves without ripping out the tile in my showers and the drywall behind it. In short, Franco's ended up saving me a considerable amount of money overall. He came on time, finished earlier than I thought the job was going to take, was quite pleasant, and everything now works perfectly. He and his team are just exceptional. Highly recommend!!! read more

Had a plumbing issue come up at 4am on a Saturday. Called some plumbing companies later that morning and kept hitting phone trees, so it was a pleasant surprise to reach Franco directly. He was able to come out the same day, had great communication, and was very professional. Our issue was fixed quickly. Will definitely call Franco's again for any future plumbing needs! read more

My home was experiencing water pressure of 90 and above and my Moen monitor (required by Farmers Insurance) kept warning me. I assumed it was the water pressure valve malfunctioning. Franco confirmed it wasn't and that i should attach an expansion tank near the water heater. He and his crew were 30 min early, attached the tank and was done within an hour. The water presure was set to be about 70 and it has not gone higher since they left. It's only been 1 day so far but Franco's solution appears to be the right one. read more

I needed a waste adapter installed on a cast iron drain pipe. I was able to send in a photo and get an instant quote over the phone, which was great. Other companies wouldn't provide a quote without first coming out. I was able to secure an appointment for the very next day. Franco was pleasant, arrived within the scheduled time window, and completed the work in about five minutes. He also wore shoe protectors coming into the house, which I appreciated. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and I'll definitely be contacting them for any additional plumbing needs in the future. read more

Toilet had a weak flush and 2nd toilet was gurgling. Marco was responsive on text when the request went out for inspection availability. He assigned his plumber (Kyle) who came within the allotted 2 hour window and was able to diagnosis the issue by performing a series of checks and checking my sewer line and pipes in my crawlspace. Kyle walked me through the root cause and how he planned to resolve it. The service call cost was quite reasonable and ultimately resolved my issue in the same day. read more

Franco is a plumbing wizard. We had some friends visiting us earlier in the month and staying in our small house. Within 48 hours, our kitchen faucet started projectile vomiting hot water, due to extreme corrosion in a connector between the faucet and the pipe behind our wall. We attempted a DIY solution that made things worse, and after that failure brought in some heavy hitters. One plumber that came out said he'd have to break through the wall and all of the tile backsplash in order to fix things, at a cost of around $1,400. Shortly after that, Franco arrived, and he was able to successfully extract and replace the broken part without destroying any part of the wall. Because of that, his final price saved us over $1,000 compared to the other quote. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you want excellent work at a fair price, stop reading this and CALL HIM RIGHT NOW!! read more

Alex from Franco's Plumbing came to fix my kitchen sink that had a slow drain. It took one time to clear the main and 3x's to clear the clog at the kitchen sink with a snake (3x's a charm). He also replaced a small pipe due to the old pipe had a crack that caused a leak. Overall, Alex went far and beyond to make sure the drain was cleared. The work is guaranteed for 30 days. If anything goes wrong, he will return to assess any problems that occur within the 30day guarantee. read more

Fast service. Fixed quickly and very responsive team who worked around our scheduling constraints. Neat, put everything back as it was. Thank you so much!!!!! read more

Magical! I had some leaky faucets. He fixed all of them without cutting out the wall. He also replaced the water shutoff, PRV and two pressure valves that were discovered to be faulty. Now everything works and the water pressure is at safe 75psi (previously high 135psi). He is a nice and profession with reasonable pricing. I highly recommend. read more

Anthony was my tech and he is a professional, well-mannered individual. Same day service in my case and he was on time and told me what he thought I needed, but respected my budget. I got a quote for future work and will contact them again. It is very comforting to have work done that you know is done right! Thanks!! read more

Few things stress me out more than sewage backing up in the house any time we use the water. Thankfully, Franco was able to come on a Sunday to help get it sorted right away. He showed up right on time and was able to clear our blockage right away. He also went through step by step, making sure to clear every last tree root (the source of our woes) so that our pipes will hopefully stay nice and clean for a good while. It was actually pretty cool watching the camera footage in real time as the roots got blasted away one by one. I really appreciate the quick response and thorough job from Franco! read more

Very responsive and punctual. We've used Franco a few times and have been happy each time.

Super service replacing my garbage disposal. Franco was very knowledgeable and trustworthy.
