Home Plumbing does fireplace repair! Dan Schilling is a licensed plumber, but highly recommended. Our fireplace was home builder installed over 10 years ago.
I wasn't disappointed. Dan Schilling said he... read more repairs quite a few fireplaces each year. Just be warned that after September, he's really busy. However, I called him at the end of November 2017 and he came out pretty quickly December 11th. Our problem was the flame in the firebox pulsed then eventually went out. He explained the thermal dynamics of the pilot ignition and relationship of cold/hot air and how even the log or glow cotton can affect this pilot flame and is why our flame would extinguish after 10 minutes. Really knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions. The repair took about an hour and was very reasonable.

12/11/2017We worked with Dan on a transition from an electric cooktop to a gas cooktop. He helped us throughout the process, worked with our scheduling issues, and Dan did an... read more excellent job of interacting with the San Ramon inspectors ... we highly recommend Dan and Home Plumbing.
6/30/2017About two weeks ago, I have asked Dan to come to help fixing my shower head. He was on time, polite, & knew his job. All my shower head needed... read more was to replace a small part of it, & Dan's truck had it right there(no need to go out & buy one from a shop). He was prepared for his job & was professional. Thank you Dan. I will recommend Dan (Home Plumbing) to anyone who needs a good plumbing job.
4/18/2017I originally called on Dan to install the gas components for our backyard fire pit. I appreciated that his number one priority was on safety and asked a lot of... read more questions about the way in which my fire pit was being installed by my contractor to ensure that it was being done properly. Once he came out for the install, I was incredibly happy with the quality of materials and the finished product. I've since called on him to replace 2 toilets. During the install, we realized that he couldn't replace one of the toilets as it had a built-in marble shelf right above it that connected to a vanity. I thought I was stuck having to totally remove the shelf and vanity, but Dan suggested that he could carve out part of the shelf just enough so that he had some wiggle room for the install. I was a bit nervous but gave him the green light and he returned the next week with the proper tools to make it happen. I couldn't be happier with the result and appreciate the ingenuity! And while I have a small carve-out in my shelf, it actually looks like it was meant to be there! Thanks Dan for going above and beyond!
11/04/2016I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Dan called me a few hours after I spoke to his office to set up a service call. He gave me... read more a fair time window and ended up coming by 1 1/2 hours earlier. He called and kept me in the loop about time of arrival. Excellent diagnosis and repair of the problems, extremely reasonably priced, friendly, professional and knowledgable. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to work with Dan again. For plumbing issues, it doesn't get any better!
5/19/2016Dan just did a couple of jobs in our bathrooms and did a really nice job. His prices are very reasonable and fair. He's easy to work with and personable.... read more I always like giving business to the local guy who is honest and trustworthy and hard working. That's Dan. I highly recommend his work.

We needed a gas fireplace repairman. Dan Schilling came highly recommended by a local gas fireplace retailer. We called and he responded quickly. He was on time and diagnosed the... read more problem. What I appreciate most was the time he spent explaining the issue, our options and that he had all the parts with him to fix it. His pricing was definitely fair and we now have a fully functioning gas fireplace at our house. If you want someone who is professional, efficient and effective at getting the job done right - call him ASAP.
3/09/2016Dan came over at the spur of the moment when our guest toilet wouldn't work and my in laws here. Fixed it without any problems! Well worth it--called him at... read more 6:17pm and he came at 7:15, gone at 7:45pm.
8/10/2014Dan did a superb job installing a gas line as well as the gas logs to my fire place. Dan was prompt in returning my initial call and showed up... read more on time to give me a bid. His price was reasonable compared to other bids and the reviews on Yelp helped me decided to hire Dan instead of the other two contractors. Dan was flexible in changing our installation date when the gas logs was delayed in shipping. It was easy to communicate with him with his answering services since he always call back the same day within a few hours. Despite some problems he encountered in putting the gas line into the back of the fire place, Dan finished the job with excellent workmanship and without creating a mess. I will call Dan for all my future plumbing needs. I also highly recommend Dan to anyone who is looking for someone who is reliable and reasonable.
6/12/2014Home Plumbing repaired our fireplace for which other contractors had told us to replace the entire fireplace which would have cost us thousands. This whole work was handled by my... read more tenant and I got to inspect the work afterwards. I understand that Dan from Home Plumbing, managed the entire process. His charges were reasonable and workmanship par excellence. Home Plumbing really knows about fireplaces which can get complicated with different models etc. Highly recommend

Outstanding in every way. Dan called in advance of both appointments to give me an accurate time of arrival. Dan was always prompt and reliable and his price was very... read more reasonable.
After dealing with a nightmare from a local fireplace vendor, Dan's outstanding service and professionalism was a breath of fresh air. My repair was very complicated and Dan was one of the few people in the Bay Area capable of pulling it off.
I cannot more highly recommend anyone.
4/16/2014Dan was friendly and took care of my fireplace quickly. It looks as good as new and his price was beyond fair.
In regards to the 1 star comment, the reason... read more she only paid $150.00 is because Dan left all of his parts there that night to finish the job the next morning, so the guy finishing her job used the parts that were left and didn't charge her what it would have actually cost. There are two sides to every story. Dan's a good guy and came highly recommended to me and I can see why.
You can't please everyone and some people are high maintenance and think the world revolves around them.
8/14/2013Dan replaced a defective faucet and sprayer in my kitchen sink. He has a pleasant personality and was easy to work with. I found him to be very knowledgable and... read more made helpful suggestions. He was diligent in staying in contact and keeping me informed from my first contact to my last. Dan took great pains to make sure that I was completely satisfied with his work before he finished. I will definitely use him in the future and would recommend him to others without reservation.
7/13/2013I went by the yelp reviews to repair my fireplace.
I would not recommend this repair service. Dan was scheduled to come to my home between 4 and 6 PM.... read more I receive no phone call by 7PM to let me know what time he will arrive-- I had to call to find out what was happening. Dan eventually shows up at 8:30 PM for a 4 to 6 PM repair. He takes 1 1/2 hours to "repair" my fireplace. After he gets done with it, my fireplace would not even ignite any longer. Then he tells me a gas valve needs to be replaced and that this part would cost me over $260, and that the repair will cost over $800. So he tells me he will order the part and that he needs to schedule another appointment, and that I would be the first appointment of the day at 8:30 AM. At 8:30, again no phone call, nothing, I have to call him and he tells me he will be there at 9:00. At 9:10-- still no phone call from him letting me know he will be late-- I call him again, and he tells me he will come at 9:30. By now I am fed up and tell him I do not want him coming back to repair my fireplace anytime ever and that he has no consideration of other people's time or schedule.
I eventually contact another fireplace repair service, and I am able to get my fireplace repaired for $150 where Home Plumbing was going to charge me over $800.
I do not recommend Home Plumbing to anyone.
Terrible, frustrating experience with this business.
3/26/2013Dan was friendly and demonstrated excellent communication. He came in, diagnosed the problem with my fireplace, and fixed it extremely quickly. Furthermore, I had read numerous horror stories on the... read more internet regarding fireplace repair and astronomical prices. Well, Dan was reasonable and did not attemt attempt to exploit my ignorance.
I cannot recommend him highly enough. I wish more businesses operated with such integrity.
