Tim responded to my call immediately early on a Sunday morning (when other plumbers did not). He then set an appointment time for later in the day and arrived on time. He capably fixed a badly clogged shower. His rate was very reasonable, and he was very courteous. I highly recommend him. read more

Tim came by to fix a leak over New Year's and was very responsive, efficient, trustworthy and professional. He also replaced our water heater and we can't believe what a difference a new water heater has made for us. I recommend him without reservation. read more

Had TRZ Plumbing (Tim) replaced my water heater. He was a little late because he had an emergency call. He did text early to tell me. When showed up he was pleasant and did s nice job. Knew wgg f at was doing. Had him put in some extra valves. He cost was very reasonable. read more

You can't say enough great things about Tim. He is reliable, honest and knowledgeable. He works really hard and is honestly available 24/7, I've called him at odd hours and he always showed up and fixed the issue. Tim is the only one I trust with my plumbing issues. read more

Woohoo! This is my first review on Yelp...ever! Just like many users of Yelp, I've frequently gone on Yelp to search for good restaurants and services, but have been hesitant to put up my own posts, as I'm not much of a blogger. But Tim at TRZ is so deserving of my first review! I was a bit hesitant to pick someone from Craigslist without Yelp reviews, but I just needed someone to install my water heater for an inexpensive cost...and what a find I came up on! I've checked out a few other businesses, including those with 5-Star reviews on Yelp, but they all charge you an arm and a leg just for installation. There was also this one guy from another plumbing spot who stopped by my place to look at my old water heater for 10 minutes, said he couldn't fix it, and suggested to replace the entire unit, plus charged me $50 for the 10-minute "consultation" fee. I ended up researching the net and fixed it myself. This time, my water heater is completely dead, so I had no choice but to hire someone to replace the water heater. But I was so fortunate to find TRZ Plumbing! Tim was very accommodating in terms of time scheduling, since my water heater was supposed to be shipped to me last week, but didn't arrive until this week...and yet he was able to come in with no issues. He explained what he did step by step, making sure that you understand why he did the things he did. He didn't try to upsell me on items that I didn't need, which I really appreciate. You can really tell that he knows his stuff, and pays close attention to the little details...from the correct way to solder something to lightly sanding the pipes and adding paste so that the water heater doesn't create as much noise as water runs through the pipes. His knowledge in plumbing is quite extensive. From what he told me, Tim actually used to flip houses before he decided to go back into plumbing, which would explain his expertise and experience. This probably also explains why he doesn't have any Yelp reviews. But, I'm happy to write him a glowing review! I would most definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a water heater installed. Also, just in case you were wondering, the installation costs $150, which includes the removal of debris and also the old water heater! read more

Tim to the rescue!!! We had a crazy last minute emergency and Tim came through with flying colors --- amazing! He was referred to me by a great contractor who said the best things about him --- great plumber, really nice guy, does fantastic work --- all true. I called Tim, and he was on his way shortly. He completed the job perfectly and everything is right with the world again. read more

We all know the feeling when it comes time to find a plumber. You wonder who you can trust. You wonder who will give you good service at a fair price. My concerns evaporated when I had the good fortune to use TRZ Plumbing. They returned my calls promptly. They put a priority on taking care of a messy situation with a clogged toilet drain. The whole thing was handled wirh fast, efficient and friendly service. I was updated as the job progressed. It doesn't get any better. Thanks TRZ for your professional and reasonably priced service. You went above and beyond and it's much appreciated. I will not hesitate to use your services again in the future. read more

Provided excellent service at a great price! I will use TRZ again if I ever need a plumber! I was totally satisfied by the work and will refer others who are looking for a plumber to TRZ. read more

I had an emergency at my office which prevented me from working and Tim responded immediately and professionally. Also I've used him before when my office bathroom toilet stopped working and he was in and out getting it replaced before we closed for the day. Highly highly recommend him read more

Tim is the only one we call when we need help! He is friendly, efficient and always gets the job done. I can't thank him enough for all of his help! read more

Tim came out to my elderly father's home to troubleshoot a broken garbage disposal and also install a new toilet. He found the problem with the garbage disposal lickety-split, and it was good as new. There was a screw that had fallen in and gotten wedged in to a tricky spot. I had put my hand down there and felt around, and also shined a flashlight and looked, but I never saw the screw. Tim also kindly left a small tool for us and told us how to fix it in the future should it happen again. I don't think he even charged us for fixing it. Then he expertly and quickly installed a toilet, for a very reasonable price. I agree with other reviewers, Tim of TRZ Plumbing is very personable, honest, capable, and fair. Based on my first experience hiring him, I can highly recommend him. read more

We highly recommend Tim from TRZ Plumbing who came to our rescue when our old bathroom cast iron pipe broke in the garage. He was available even late in the evening, on time, replaced the defective part and even upgraded the pipe design. He was very thorough, professional, very courteous, friendly. We were also very happy with his prices, very competitive but overall, he was very pleasant to work with. read more

Living in a relatively new home in a developing area of Brisbane, we've been lucky enough to not have any major plumbing issues since moving in. Recently, our luck ran out as an alarm for our pump went off one morning and we needed some plumbing expertise ASAP. After calling a half dozen plumbers, I got either no answer or some variation of "the earliest we can get there is tomorrow between 12pm and 3pm". Luckily for us, Tim called back and said he could take a look at our problem later the same day. Tim came to house and within a couple of hours of trouble-shooting our family was able to have running water in the house again! The primary issue at hand was a broken pump. Tim came back a couple of weeks later and replaced the broken pump with a new one. TRZ resolved our immediate needs and fixed the source of problem. Brilliant! Tim may not always answer the phone right away, but he always returns phone calls. Highly recommended. read more

Tim is AMAZING. He's an honest, caring, sharp plumber who does fantastic work. We only wish we'd found him years ago. He's an outstanding plumber: experience, thoughtful, meticulous, understanding, and best of all licensed! We were introduced by a GC, and have found Tim as our go-to guy. He's done several projects for us: his bids are reasonable and his work exemplary. We couldn't recommend him more strongly. Initially Tim helped us install a water line to our refrigerator and fix a poorly designed laundry room drain. The installation turned out to be a little more complicated than anyone imagined due to the construction in our house, but Tim did great work at very reasonable rate. A few months later, our sewer line backed up in the late afternoon. With my wife was days from giving birth, we called Tim. He understood the many layers of urgency and he came by that night (after another project) to snake the line. The next day, he ran a video camera to confirm the 50-year old tree in our front yard had clogged our sewer line. Tim pulled a permit to do the work, digging a channel through our front yard and our front walk to install cleanouts and a new plastic sewer line. We've been flushing happily ever since. read more

I am generally skeptical of businesses on Yelp that have the highest rating and reviews that are so over the top in praising the business and the people that work there. However, I can honestly say that Tim and TRZ plumbing are the "real deal." I can unequivally recommend Tim, as a great plumber and someone that takes pride in his work and does the best job possible for his clients/customers. He is the type of plumber you would expect to work with a few decades ago, like a neighbor friend who is trying to solve your problem rather than trying to figure the quickest way to get it done and make the most they can off of your problem. Tim will do whatever it takes to get the job done right and at a reasonable price. You really can't ask for more than that. My Dad has a very old house with two very old sewer lines that both became clogged at the same time with roots that were almost impossible to clear. We worked with several other plumbers who couldn't solve the problem, gave quick off the cuff responses and weren't interested in doing anything more than the minimum to get paid. Tim worked with us on a strategy that took a couple of weeks on one of our two sewer lines that, ultimately, avoided the requirement for a costly replacement of the entire line. Even more impressive, when our second line became clogged as well and was overflowing (emergency) he came out that same night, after working all day on other jobs. He worked several hours in the dark (using just his truck headlights) until he got both lines cleared and working again. Any plumber can recommend replacing a line for several thousand dollars. It takes a lot more ingenguity and honesty to work with a customer on a cost effective solution that may not be perfect... but is perfect for the situation. Tim's the best! read more

Is there such a thing as 6 stars? 10? I had a pretty minor plumbing need - replace the toilet fill valve. However, I don't want to do it, its a pain in my ass to do it myself, and a pain in my water bill to ignore it. It had to get done. I'm honestly hesitant to write down all the ways Tim catered to me and saved the day for fear of setting an unsustainable precedent. I can't imagine he can possibly maintain a business and consistently be this accommodating, this honest, and this helpful. Its really quite astonishing. I know, the task at hand was relatively minor, but it was handled and completed with such adeptness and such amazing follow up that I feel confident it was a good indicator of Tim's business as a whole. I'm a single working woman, I'm not that handy, and I live in a sometimes questionable neighborhood (HP). Some folks have balked at coming to my 'hood for service appointments. Not Tim. He was communicative, on time, efficient, and truthful. He fixed the problem while never speaking down to me and totally respected my home, my space, and my schedule. He explained the process and the solution. His rate was so much more than fair. As a matter of fact, his rate was a full $50 less than the other plumber I called for a quote. Look: Mediocre assistance is easy to come by. "Did a fine job" is easy to find. That's not what you'll get here. If today is any remote example of the kind of worker, the kind of service provider, and the kind of human that Tim is, then the world is a better place. It sounds like I'm exaggerating but I'm not. Tim stepped up to bat and hit it out of the park on his first time at the plate. Do not hesitate. Look no further. Help has arrived. read more

Tim did a great job for us! We had a gas leak and he came out very quickly to take care of the problem. Luckily the leak only required cutting through sheetrock behind the range. He replaced one of the connections that wasn't connected properly, fixed it and closed up the wall securely. read more

Super fast response, super friendly and personable, job completed and left everything clean and tidy. Tim is the best! I couldn't be happier! read more

Tim is great...first to respond to my request for a quote to repair or replace a water heater...reasonable quote...next day service. He even offered to come back and fix some things that were not quite right with the ventilation on other water heaters. He is the guy you hope you find to replace your water heater or other pluming job. read more

Hate to give away the secret and overload him, but Tim is great! Our old plumber retired and finding a new "family member" was just impossible. Tim came recommended to us and he's been wonderful. On time, affordable, and above all, knowledgeable about older SF homes and their quirks in pipes and drains. He's friendly and proactive and loves to help you learn how to avoid problems. Truly a find! read more

Contacted Tim late Sunday night, he had my new hot water heater in by end of day Monday. I gave Tim/TRZ Plumbing a five star review because he replied back right away, gave me a fair and reasonable estimate and once he arrived he was professional and experienced. I plan to use Tim/TRZ Plumbing for any additional issues at my house and look forward to seeing him again. Thanks for all of your help Tim, you deserve the great reviews you have recieved in Yelp ! read more

My water heater broke on Wednesday night and I called Tim at TRZ Plumbing and he answered right away and said he would bring me a new water heater the same afternoon. He sent me an update on what time he would arrive and showed up on time with a much improved and more efficient water heater than the one I had. Tim explained some issues going in with my pipe connections and made the corrections so it is much safer now. Tim was very nice and efficient and I would definitely call him again for plumbing or other services. Also the price was very reasonable. I was very surprised and happy to take care of my problem right away. Thank you Tim!! Kathleen D, Pacifica California read more

After a couple of false starts (on the first occasion we waited an hour past the admittedly kind of loose "after 5" we had agreed on and then called only to find out he was still about a half hour away and we couldn't wait; the second time he accidentally double booked but for some reason didn't have our phone number to call and cancel), on the third try Tim showed up right on time and did an excellent, clean, and fast job installing a new sink disposal. He's friendly, smart, and obviously very competent. Would definitely hire him again but just make sure he had our phone number this time! read more

Best pricing by a long shot based on three bids to install a 40 gallon water heater. Very professional and competent. Would definite call Tim again for any plumbing need. read more

Tim is extremely knowledgeable, professional and courteous. We have had him work on several of our properties that our company manages. When other plumbers left me stuck he saved the day with ease. I highly recommend his work! Very trustworthy guy and that counts for a lot in the business. Thanks again Tim! I RECOMMEND TRZ PLUMBING TO EVERYBODY!! read more

Long story short: Tim is awesome, very responsive and quick. Came fast, fixed our clog in 15 minutes and even attempted to clean up after... which i didn't allow :) Highly recommended! read more

Tim and TRZ Plumbing are terrific! It's a pleasure to write this review. Today was the 2nd time Tim worked in my home. Both times the jobs were not straight forward... a little more complicated because of funky work performed by previous contractors. Both times TRZ's work was great, the service and communication were great, and for a VERY fair, if not low, price. It's so nice to have a knowledgable, reliable plumber you can trust. If you don't, call TRZ and ask for Tim. read more

Tim is fantastic. I called him mid-afternoon and in less than 1.5 hrs he was at the doorstep ready to help with an office toilet clog. There was a pipe blockage, so he swiftly moved the toilet and snaked the pipe 30 feet. He diagnosed the problem and was very courteous, working past business hours. He is also very affordable. I highly recommend his services! read more

I have hired Tim for a pluming job before, not impressed by his customer service. He said he would finish the remaining work, but he never did. And he won't return phone call, text message or email. It seems he just disappeared after he was paid. I can not imagine how I can reach him if there is an issue with his repair work later on and need to call him to come back. I will not recommend him. read more

From fixing small problems to building out entire kitchens, TRZ can handle every job at a competitive rate. I have used TRZ twice. Once for a plumbing job in a remodeled bathroom that someone else had to leave half way done. TRZ picked up the pieces and competed the job with much more professionalism than how it started, I think it looks better than it would have too! The other case was in an emergency. This is the reason I actually made an effort to write this review. My mother lives by herself, its a small place deep in Marin County. I was away for work for more than a few days. My mother calls me complaining that it was cold and that the heater wasn't working. She had already been without heat for two days, old and kinetically incapable of operating on her own she was in trouble. I remembered TRZ and luckily had a number in an email. Without any hesitation, Tim was kind enough to drive an hour out of his way on a Sunday night, spend a couple hours fixing the hot water and heating system, and made sure my mother was OK before leaving. I've written all that you need to know about someone's dedication to a job and simply taking care of people. All the best, Dan B. read more

I can't say enough thanks and praise, he showed up in a plumbing emergency and stayed on the job till the job was done. He knew from the start it was going to be an extremely tough repair but never faltered and always stayed positive which for some pretty nervous people was a refreshing sight. The rate was more than reasonable and we can't thank him enough. read more

Noticed the hot water was tepid at best when washing a couple of coffee cups this morning, so went down to the utility closet to discover that our 14 year old water heater was leaking and had turned off. Called Tim, the owner of TRZ Plumbing, around 9:00 AM Valentine's Day, ( on a Sunday as well ), so 'twas a double week-end whammy. He answered the phone immediately and after searching several outlets, ( needless to say, his local plumbing supplier was closed ), arrived with a new, high quality unit made by a well know manufacturer which met the CA NOX standards. Then he proceeded to listen to me, ( felt a bit sorry for him ), about how I had tried to drain the heater with our garden hose into the shower pan, ( which only partially worked 'cause I didn't open the pressure relief valve properly ), and explained all the oddball things that can happen with home water lines, air in them, diverter valves, etc., and calmed my nerves as we worked together, ( yes, I helped a little -- an enjoyable education ), to get everything handled. It all came together bit by bit -- Tim was reassuring with a positive mental attitude, ( which I didn't have ), and now everything is working just fine. He also upgraded several things which were previously done, ( and/or lacking ), from those of 14 years ago, and the price was very fair. Sooo-o-o, would highly recommend as you surely can't ask for any better than that now, can you ?!!! read more

Tim is great to work with (but can be a little hard to get a hold of sometimes, most likely because he is in high-demand). However, once I got a hold of him, he came out quickly and did a great job. He ended up having to do a lot more work but he didn't charge any extra. I even offered to pay him for the extra time and he refused - said he'd stick with his initial estimates. His prices are very reasonable and he is very honest and easy to work with. We are grateful that we found someone close by to count on. read more

TRZ is who you need to call! We had a big leak at our rental unit that would require cutting into the ceiling to get to. Tim not only took care of the leak, he cleaned up a mold issue, repaired the ceiling and repainted. He does it all! Highly recommended! read more

This pains me a little, because Tim has so many other glowing reviews, I have no idea what happened here. We called about a leak under our kitchen sink, and Tim was able to come out and take a look the following afternoon. He replaced a worn-out gasket but said there was a screw missing, and he didn't have the part on him but said we should give him a call the next morning and he'd pop back in as soon as he could. Well, we never did get that screw replaced. We called and texted and called again, and most of the time, the calls and texts went unanswered. Twice he responded and told us he'd be out that afternoon, but he failed to show up both times. He didn't even call to tell us he wouldn't be able to make it; he just never showed up. After a couple of weeks of attempting to get him out here to finish the job, we gave up and replaced it ourselves. So he never completed the job that we paid for. I guess I should have known better than to write the check before the job was complete, but I never thought he wouldn't come through. Now, about a month later, the sink is leaking again. We tried to contact him, but guess what, no reply, so we had to have someone else come out and fix it. Not what I would have expected from someone with over 80 5-star reviews! read more

Tim was courteous, speedy and really really good. Made our plumbing problem almost seem fun! Lo-stress and high efficiency is what you want in these situations, and Tim provided all that and more! read more

I found Tim on Craigslist, and made arrangemts from LA for him to repair a water heater in my house in the Bay Area. He was prompt, friendly and reasonable. While there, he took care of an unplanned drain problem. I would recommend him for plumbing problems, and I would definitely hire him again. read more

Tim completed a remodel of both our bathrooms about 4 years ago. He also built a small den/office in our garage for us. His work is excellent. He researched everything and provided a fair price to do all the work. He is knowledgeable and friendly. He will take the time to explain everything to you and will not tack on extra things that are not needed. We continue to call Tim for our "around the house" repairs from diagnosing our dryer issues to repairing our bathroom sink and light. We definitely will continue to call Tim for our future construction needs! read more

We were in such a bind on a Sunday night as our bathroom was clogged. Every time we used water the toilet in question would rise so we basically couldn't use any water. To top this off we had a lot of family over including 6 small kids. We reached out to a number of plumbers, none of who was willing to help on such short notice - except TRZ plumbing. Tim came by quickly, assessed the issue and gave us a very reasonable price. We had him perform the work and he was fast, efficient, clean and very professional. Can't recommend him enough, thank you Tim for the great service! read more

Tim is a very thorough and knowledgable plumber. We did a complete kitchen remodel and he did all the new water and gas plumbing and the related appliance installations - range, dishwasher, refrigerator and sink along with installing a new clothes washer in the garage. He also replaced our old and failing water supply line. He is very responsive, prompt, and reliable. read more
