I am glad I found this local, family owned plumbing company. I like to support local family businesses. He responded quickly and worked with you. Ezekiel came out to give a free estimate and our part is very old( over 20 plus years old). However, he drove to his distributor and got the part and came back to install it since our product was very out of date. We had estimates from OTHER companies even "Discount" companies which I recognized soon the other company was gouging us. To replace a simple unit in the toilet the "Discount" plumber wanted to charge almost 500. I have done this myself but this was my mom's house and I live far away so I know there was no way it costs that much! And shower almost 600. estimate and which I already knew the diagnosis of hot water valve/cartridge replacement bc I dealt with the same issue before being a property manager. So I knew that this estimate was too much. ( Did Yelp review for others as well.) Also OTHER companies charged a 250. Minimum regardless what was being done-like what?! So I called other plumbers. And Hemi's Plumbing company ended up to be the BEST of ALL- Jamal( the owner) worked with me and helped my elderly mother. They were patient as I was dealing with this from afar. His TOTAL estimate was half the price of just ONE repair, let alone doing two repairs! He was honest and the price seemed more than reasonable for the amount of time and parts and even driving to get the part. So being a property manager, I am always looking for a good, trustworthy company that goes ABOVE and BEYOND! This company is fast and efficient, honest/trustworthy, with quality work and doesn't push you or try to gouge you! When I find great companies like this, I give a shout out bc they deserve it! Save yourself a headache, call this company FIRST and get your reasonable estimate! Support your local plumbing small business and a good guy! He will be my go to from now on! I will update as well with future work bc I take my recommendations seriously and want to make sure the work is still above and beyond and good all the way around! Oh and Ezekiel who came out was great! read more

Very responsive and one of the more reasonably priced plumbers that I reached out to for back of toilet leaking issue. Thanks!

I called Dry Kings to come out and assess remediation and rebuild work for water damage that occurred under our kitchen sink. They said they could also have a plumber come out to provide a free estimate on addressing the source of the leak. Jamal from Hemi's Plumbing showed up for this. I had no prior communication with Jamal and had no idea where he was based or would be driving in from. He showed up at 1:57pm and was all packed up and left by 2:32pm. During the assessment, he asked if I would like for him to cut open the drywall to see if the sink drain was leaking behind the wall and I agreed to have him do that (it took probably 5 mins with an oscillating tool to do this). In retrospect, I should have definitely asked what it would cost since this was work above and beyond the free estimate. More on this later. He cut open the wall around the drain pipe and determined it was not leaking. During the process of testing, he was running the sink and saw that a smell leak was coming from the sprayer supply line. I think he tightened up the connection so it was no longer leaking and we believed the leak had been addressed, though given the nature of it, I was highly skeptical that the sprayer supply alone would be the cause. This is because the damage was so extensive along the wall, even spreading to an adjacent section of wall behind the dishwasher, while the contents under the sink were totally dry (we store paper grocery bags under the sink for use with recycling and none of them exhibited any sort of water damage). I asked to settle the bill for the work he did and he said hr would coordinate it with Dry Kings. A couple hours later, I receive an invoice for $800 for 2 hours worth of labor. No, that isn't a typo! To verify, I emailed him and asked to confirm two things: (1) His standard hourly rate is $400/hr (2) How did he arrive at 2 hours when the paid work above and beyond the free estimate was less than 30 mins? He said: "yes that's my standard rate $400/hr/employee I actually did not charge for Paul. But the two hours was 1 for the initial drive time. and my minimum is 1.5hrs." So although the driving time was going to be included as part of the free estimate anyway, because he did some work, all of a sudden that became paid time? Wow, I was truly shocked to say the least. He offered a 10% discount when I questioned his invoice, but I declined and paid the full $800. I decided to take it up with Dry Kings and even their ops manager was appalled by the amount and said he would speak with Jamal. Later on, I received a refund of $375, so in total, I paid $425, which is more reasonable but still not commensurate with the work performed, again, above and beyond what was necessary to provide the free estimate. Additionally, ultimately, we discovered that there was in fact a leak in one of the solder joints in the cold water supply line that had completed rotted away the adjacent stud, part of the sill plate beneath it, and a big section of the subfloor. I called a local plumber out and he found the leak and repaired it, spending about 2 hours in total. For this work, I paid $329 including replacement copper pipe and fittings. I would just advise that if you choose to work with Hemi's Plumbing that you determine the total cost, including any hourly minimums in advance so you don't receive any surprise invoices. This is especially true if you work with a third party (like a remediation company) that calls a plumber or any contractor on your behalf. A valuable (and expensive) $425 lesson learned, for which I accept partial responsibility for not inquiring in advance about hourly rates, etc. read more

When it comes to plumbing, I will only trust a referral and I am so glad Hemi's was referred to me. Like most plumbing issues, ours caught us off guard and we had a broken water heater and leaking pipe that was causing us a multitude of problems. Jamal and Zeke came out to assess the situation in a timely manner and they were courteous and professional throughout the entire project. Jamal thoroughly explained our options and gave us very fair pricing. I have had multiple friends use Hemi's and they were very pleased with the work, so I felt less anxious and I am so glad we went this route. Thank you Jamal and Zeke for the quick turnaround and repairing all of the issues we had. Appreciate the friendly service and will definitely be using this company again, and referring them in the future read more

We needed a water heater replaced so I contacted 3 plumbers for estimates. Jamal, the owner and operator of Hemi's came over for a free inspection and quickly assessed the situation.

Had a great experience with Hemi's Plumbing. Details: Jamal, the owner of Hemi's Plumbing, arrived exactly when he said he would. He replaced the stuck anode rod in my water heater and replaced the old stripped valve on my outside water main. In all it took 1.5 hours. Jamal was very professional and personable and didn't mind (that I could tell anyway) that I hung around a bit while he worked; we had some great conversation and I learned that he and his young family are neighbors of mine in San Bruno. Jamal cleaned up everything when he was done and made sure I was satisfied with everything before he left. The final price was more than reasonable and he accepts any form of payment including Zelle/Venmo. Hemi's Plumbing is now my on-call plumber and I highly recommend them. read more
