If you are considering taking on a new construction project or need remodeling plumbing for your existing home. A plumbing contractor should be someone you trust to do things correctly from the start. It’s not the place to cut corners.
Unlike most plumbers, who get their start in the business clearing drains, my introduction to the business was in multi-million dollar new construction of luxury homes for Loomis in Marin County. In retrospect, building homes from the ground up was a great way to see how the whole home plumbing system functioned as a system and it was the best introduction to the plumbing trade I could have asked for.
I learned how to read blueprints, delicately place expensive fixtures and what was required to ensure a quality plumbing system for a luxury home that met and often exceeded what was required by building codes.
New Construction Plumbing and Plumbing Consultation
If you are building a new home from the ground up, I can help early in a consulting role by helping specify an optimal low-maintenance plumbing system. I can then build it out from the meter to the thermostatic shower valve, all with the best quality materials and craftsmanship. This kind of work brings me back to my roots and I enjoy it.
Remodeling Plumbing Contractor
Adding-on or significantly altering an existing home is a different challenge. One for which the latter part of my career (repairing plumbing systems in luxury homes) has prepared me well. The first step is to determine your remodeling plumbing requirements. Then just as importantly, assess the quality, condition and capacity of the original plumbing system.
In custom-built luxury homes (like I used to build), the existing system is sometimes built with enough capacity that we can simply add on to it. But in Marin County, more and more homeowners are customizing former tract homes. Often the best solution is running new water supply, sewage, and gas lines. I can help you with the pros and cons of each.

Advantages of Choosing a Small Remodeling Plumbing Contractor
I am a one-man shop. I am proud of the work I do and I have yet to find someone I would trust to take care of my customers the way I do. When you hire me, you get me. Larger plumbing contractors (who build multi-unit condos, apartments, and commercial spaces) hire less-experienced plumbers and trainees to do the actual work. These folks are just like I was (30 years ago). Take my word for it, you’d rather have me work on your home today than when I was a kid.
I have also been in the plumbing business in Marin County for many years and am friends with some of my competitors who I respect. In an emergency, I can pull in some of the next-best plumbers in Marin to help.
