Fantastic workers & very intelligent & honest!! Fast workers, very nice guys and very professional & prompt, on time on site

We stepped onto wet carpets in the basement. No! Our drainline is backed up! We called Renstrom Plumbing. Chris and his crew came out on the same day. The crew cleared an obstruction then sent a camera through to survey the old drain pipe. It's no wonder our hedges were so healthy. There was a hole in the drain line to the City's main sewer line. (The drain water from the hole in the drain pipe was feeding the hedges!) Renstrom's Plumbing crew cut open the concrete, repaired the drain lines including a new vent on the sidewalk. A concrete Cement company came and sealed everything up. Great work! We would hire Renstrom Plumbing again! read more

Renstrom is a solid option for Plumbing. They super know what they're doing and they're very accommodating. I had a major issue with Plumbing on Christmas Eve day and they didn't hesitate to come out and help me with it. read more

Great service, fast response time, Lee was great, all of that and a fair price. A happy customer. Love usi g local business

I had a kitchen faucet replaced. Chris (owner) is very friendly and his team provides professional service. The price was reasonable. Will use again. read more

As always, very professional and friendly. I'm nosy and want to watch, ask questions and learn. They were so patient with me. Now my tub drains and my toilet flushes. They helped me select the right hair catcher for the tub, and replaced the toilet handle my dad had installed over 30 years ago. Life is good. If you have any plumbing or heating needs, call Chris Renstrom! They've always taken care of us. read more

Fast, friendly, reliable. I've been using Renstrom for years. After buying a home, you get to be on a first name basis with some companies. For me, it's Chris. He excels at diagnosing over the phone, saving me a lot of $$$. For example, had them install a fancy motion sensor kitchen faucet. Six months later it stops working. Called Chris. "Did you change the batteries"? Ah, no, I thought it ran on magic dust. This time my garbage disposal stopped working. Chris asks if it makes any sound. If it does it's clogged, if not, it's over, time for a replacement. So next day Alexey shows up right on time with my new Badger Insinkerator. First, I get props for clearing out the space under the sink, unlike some clients. Yay, me. 8am arrival, 8:45 departure. New disposal tested and green lighted. He cleaned up & even offered to put the pile of clutter back under the sink where I can forget about it again. read more

Our 1940 built house sprung a leak! The kitchen faucet mounts straight out of the wall, not vertically from the sink! Back in the 90's, we had a commercial faucet installed, as commercial had the best fit for our old pipe set-up. The cylinders in the faucet have been giving out from old age, and the faucet dripping. We ordered new Moen parts, but they were in transit. Then ... the faucet wouldn't turn off! We had to turn off the water for the house. Renstrom came straight over. They couldn't find the part locally either! They installed the only faucet they could find that would fit our pipes. At least no drip and the faucet works! They came back the next day to fix our main turn off (which only turned off about 90% of the water flow since it was a 1940 valve!) with a modern 1/4 turn valve and to put in a turn off for the kitchen, and - our parts arrived, so they re-installed my wonderful commercial faucet! Renstrom Plumbing is friendly, hard working problem solvers, professional, prompt, all around a great company. They quote the price for the job before they start, so we knew the costs. We are happy to be their clients. read more

Renstrom Plumbing is a an excellent company. I initially spoke with the owner, Chris, about our plumbing and heating needs, which were extensive in our neglected home. He was so friendly and made me feel like our home would be well cared for. When the team showed up to do the work (Lee, Alexa and Victor), I again encountered friendliness and a thoroughness to all of our plumbing and heating needs. The work that needed to be done was fully explained to me. The team was always on time and cleaned up after their projects. All projects were completed in the time frame promised. I felt well cared for as a home owner. I cannot recommend Renstrom Plumbing enough. Thank you! read more

Usually pretty good plumber. But only work by the hour so you need to be really careful about cost. Many other plumbers also good , visit the house first, and then show up to do the work with all the parts they need. Fix price per job, guarantee in advance. So you don't have to pay them to go to the part store at their hourly rate read more

Renstrom installed a water line and gas line from my garage up to my roof deck. Chris responded to my request within a day and was at my house to scope the project. He came up with a solution that was several thousands of dollars less than what others quoted. His crew was very professional and did a great job with the installation and cleanup. Chris himself communicated with me by text the entire time. I will definitely use Renstrom for all future plumbing needs. read more

Prompt, great service. Fixed the leak quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Would recommend.

My husband found Renstrom after we had flooding in the crawl space following the torrential rains past few weeks and the heating furnace stopped working after being submerged in water. Chris, who we spoke to on the phone was very empathetic and understanding. He asked the right questions and helped send the perfect team member for the job, with all the right equipment. Special kudos to John Walton, who came to our place and resolved all the issues in a matter of a couple hours. He identified the issue (which was essentially a built in sump pump failure that caused the flooding and stopped the heater), shared detailed insights and information on what needs to be done to resolve, provided guidance on the different options and did a thorough job installing a replacement. Not only that, he looked at the heater furnace, when that wasn't a part of our original ask to Renstrom and got it back to working smoothly! John definitely saved us a lot of headache dealing with other hvac contractors as we weren't sure if the furnace was going to work after being submerged in water for a while. We had an excellent experience with everyone at Renstrom and ended up taking annual maintenance service package! read more

I live in Sleepy Hollow and Chris at Renstrom Plumbing was extremely responsive, flexible and accommodating. John who came to fix my faucet was incredibly professional. He wore a mask and explained exactly what would be required to fix my faucet and why it needed to be fixed. Their price was extremely reasonable and I did have follow up work. Chris was again very responsive with a very fast turnaround time to have John return to my house. The quality of their work is excellent, they are highly efficient, cost friendly and extremely responsive. What more could I want?! read more

So easy to work with Renstrom Plumbing. The owner, Chris, responded right away and was able to get a technician out to check on our over 30 year old furnace. John was thorough and knowledgeable and we really appreciated his honesty. I would not hesitate to recommend Renstrom Plumbing for any future heating or plumbing issues. A++ read more

Missed/forgot appointment time;  Charged 2 hours labor for 1 hour labor; Charged 60.00 for 2 shutoff valves;  Valves were in wrong color;  Reassembled plumbing incorrectly after dismantling to fix leak (requiring another plumber at additional cost to fix this); Took no responsibility for problems. read more

Had a great experience installing a new water heater. Fast and reliable. Thanks guys!

Renstrom Plumbing is the "go to" plumber when you need one. Professional, knowledgeable, and respectful to your home. Face mask, shoe coverings and cleaned up as though he was never there. John came to my elderly uncle's home and did a great job. I wouldn't think twice of calling anyone else. Five stars!!! Mario San Mateo read more

Overcharged me for subpar work. Had to call another plumber out a few weeks later to fix work they did. Provided me a one line invoice and when i questioned the amount, said they had 3 men working on it (for a bathroom faucet drip) and they charge $180 per hour each! read more

These guys are great. They responded immediately and their work is great. Their price was competitive and they accomplished the work in the planned timeframe. They are professional and a pleasure to work with. They cleaned up the work area on a daily basis and kept us informed throughout the project. If you need plumbing or heating work give them a call. read more

I am a 5 generations SF guy and a union trained plumber. Who now calls guys for big work. I grow up with them all. Theses guys did great work. I AM PICKY AS HALL. I run a 40 until with a Starbucks and a doctors office and they let me do it live. I would never use anyone else... you would be stuped not to call.. read more

We had some old vent pipes and a drainage pipe that were leaking. They gave us a quote, came, and did the work in 2 hours. They were very fast. Chris the owner was very responsive and came by himself. They cleaned it up great! That afternoon my sink was not working. I called. Chris let me know they would come by at no charge and as long as the clog got fixed with a snake there would be no charge. They came by at no charge and tired to snake it. It was not snakable. Jon diagnosed the area and took out the pipe and it was flowing again. It was completely blocked with rust and corrosion. What had happened was some of the corrosion from the other job got stuck further down in some severe corrosion. Chris gave us a discount and only charged for an hour of labor. It was a good deal. He even answered questions from me and my neighbor since it was an HOA expense. This is the second job I used them for and I would use them again. read more

We had a major plumbing failure in our 1900-built San Francisco home with the main sewage pipe being affected by tree roots and deterioration from age. Renstrom plumbers did an excellent job both diagnosing the problem and repairing it. They were very responsible and helpful. They also replaced our water heater and were able to install the new heater and fit it in a cramped space while adhering to code regulations - - something other plumbers were unable to do. Mr Renstrom was also very responsive to our needs to write-up our sewer line repairs with the details that our insurance company required to provide appropriate coverage. We highly recommend Renstrom Plumbing. read more

This interaction worked out perfectly. My initial interaction with Chris was direct and to the point (all through email). John came by to provide a quote (which was acceptable) and the water heater was installed the same day. No fuss, no muss. John did the primary work - he was professional; courteous; and patiently answered questions. His assistant (and I can't remember his name) worked hand-in-hand with John and they finished in no time at all. The water heater works and I've had zero issues with it. read more

I had an emergency plumbing situation and found Renstrom Plumbing through Cole Hardware referral service. Johnny came out and diagnosed the problem quickly and was able to resolve it. He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He offered great service and lots of good information to help avoid future problems. Great job and nice to work with a real professional. read more

I was very pleased with their service.They were polite professional and very efficient.They will come back without any resistance if there are further issues.I strongly recommend them.Justin did a great job and was very pleasant about it. read more

Chris's crew was fantastic. They replaced the vent pipe for my water heater quickly, professionally & efficiently -- even though they had to get creative to take care of the upper portion. And they got it done very quickly -- less than a week from the time I contacted the to the time it was complete. I will definitely use them for any of my plumbing needs in the future. read more

Renstrom is my go-to for plumbing repairs because they do great reliable work, show up on time, and are nice people too. When Johnny came out at 8 am to finally replace my toilet (which means I'll see less of him) he was the best as always! How he quietly got a toilet out of my condo without waking the neighbors is beyond me. He had great advice, pointed out potential problems and how to address them, and is just fun to talk to. Definitely Renstrom! read more

Renstrom Plumbing has served our real estate practice and our clients incredibly well over the years. Their crew are professional, timely and get the job done as promised. We have overseen easy and complicated projects and all are handled on time, within budget and as promised. I appreciate the expediency and response times when we or our clients call and we highly recommend using them for your plumbing or heating needs. read more

Fantastic plumbing company! Chris Renstrom responded immediately to my call to have an apparently very complicated leak located and diagnosed. He pinpointed the problem immediately and provided me with a realistic timetable and estimate, outlining exactly what needed to be done (scope of work included replacing leaking old pipe behind the ceiling and an upholstered silk wall). In addition, his men tackled other problems around the house that were outside of the project scope, and proved to be honest, efficient and competent. There were no dirty smudges, footprints or any messes left behind and I felt comfortable having his crew in my home. Renstrom Plumbing is my new go-to team for any plumbing issue. read more

Don't waste your time with other plumbers. Great work, reasonable prices, no joke! Responded immediately and took care of problem immediately. Combination of old school experience and modern tools. Feel fortunate to have found these guys! read more

First - I love the Cole Hardware referral service. They were the ones who sent me to Renstrom. If you ever need someone to refer you to a great contractor, use Cole. Second - Renstrom Plumbing rocks. They responded immediately, provided a plumber in less than an hour, and did the work quickly, expeditiously, and at a totally reasonable price. If you ever need plumbing, go with them. read more

Found Chris through Cole Hardware's referral. He was just what was advertised -- a no-nonsense professional who knew his way around. Our gas lines had some special requirements due to some prior PG&E work, and Chris' crew accommodated our needs without any hassles. read more

Got a recommendation to use Rengstrom from my contractor. We had 3 plumbers out to diagnose a problem and only these guys were able to identify it successfully. The work they did was professional, great communication, stayed on schedule. They informed me of other potential issues unrelated to the problem they were solving and educated me on how to fix those should they become a problem in the future. read more

As a general contractor scheduling and pricing with subcontractors can be difficult and ever changing; not with Chris Renstrom. He is a true professional who stand by his work, knows all the ins and outs of San Francisco, shows up when he says he will and his crew is fantastic. I would not work with any other plumber and could not recommend him more highly. Honest pricing, always on schedule, I could go on, this is the guy. read more

I had a leaky water heater in my house, called Renstrom Plumbing, Chris came out to look at it and let me know I'd need a new one. They installed it that day and it's worked perfectly ever since. Excellent service, dependable, and good price. read more

Chris was very quick to reply and professional to my request and sent out Johnny in the specified time the same day. Johnny was very experienced and did great detective work ascertaining the cause of the bathroom leak. He was very helpful and professional in doing the work. I am pleasantly surprised to have a good and easy experience, and will definitely call on them again should plumbing issues come up. read more

I highly recommend Chris and team. They were punctual, fast, clean, honest and transparent. They gave me the options I needed to think about and the tradeoffs between them. Renstrom is now my 1st call plumber. read more

Highly not recommend. The hot water in my apartment shower is not working. My building manager said I might have problem with the mixing valve. He referred 3 plumbers to me and I picked Renstrom cause Chris answered my phone. I told him the problem and he said the charge will be around $260 plus parts. He send someone over in next 2 days, came around 9am, removed the mixing valve, said he need to go buy the part, came back replaced it and somehow said my whole shower unit has failed. Even damaged the new part ($160). He forgot a tool and called another plumber to bring it over and help work on the job. Conclusion: Charged me 4.5 hr work ($605 labor) plus $160 part (they damaged it), total $765 for NOTHING done, not able to fix anything!! At that time, the plumber said they charge $750 to change a new shower unit, but minus $200 if I have them come back and do the job. I talked to Chris again and he quoted me $1150 (labor only) not $550 his plumber told me. I researched on Yelp and found another plumber, Aquastar. They came with 2 people and replaced a new unit (I bought the unit myself) for $600 in less than 3 hours. So I will not work with Renstrom again or refer them to any of friends. Not reliable and very expensive!! read more

This was by far the worst plumbing company I've ever used. The 10% off offer is not honored, so don't even bother. Chris bid one price, and his crew invoiced at a higher price. When I disputed, I was merely threatened to "pay up." Worse, several plumbing aspects of the job were done incorrectly and the company attempted to charge me more to fix the incorrectly done items. I consulted with other plumbers and the city, who said this was a completely weaselly practice. Steer clear of Renstrom Plumbing. read more
