Bashir Plumbing

JaFar was a no call no show for my scheduled appointment with him. Therefore, I cannot rae his price or service compared to other plumbers but his customer service and professionalism are literally «down the toilet!» (pun intended!: (

In remodeling my duplex, my general on the project hired Bashir Plumbing as a sub. I liked him and he seemed to be ok. It changed quickly when I found him tieing 90 yr old rotted water pipe in with the new copper. I asked why?, he responded thats the way I quoted it. I wrote a scope of work including tear out of old rotted pipe and lines replacing with new ABF and copper as needed. Jafar was cutting cost by tieing into old stuff even though as he stated «they will have plumbing back ups in near future». He also had tied old gas lines to new. NO NO for safety. Possible leaks etc. being in the middle, I was forced to offer more money to have it done to the scope of work I originally requested. After 2 long weeks of patiently waiting for him to finish, I kicked him to the curb. In inspecting his work, I found the waste for both units tied together, old material used. NO PLUMBING under the house at all other then a couple toilet pipes. The job was barely ¼ complete after 2 + weeks. The drains were not where the kitchen sink would be and the clean outs located in a spot not able to get to if a back up occured. Support beams cut to upper unit in order to run oversized pipe up. No vents anywhere including the roof. All cheap PVC pipe. I was forced to pay a licensed contractor with a 25 yr reputation to replace the work and correct the horrible plumbing mess. There was not one bathroom completed, no pipe run under the houseor up to the roof. He started several things and never completed anything except for pulling the waste together for BOTH units and the toilets installed. I had paid him $ 9400.00 and he claimed I owed him for material on top of it. I paid the licensed company$ 8900.00 to fix the mess so it would function, be professional for the buyers and pass final inspection. What a nightmare. He refused to take any responsibility for biting off
more then his ability and refused to bring in helpers to save money. I should have known when he pulled up in a labomba car and kicked him to the curb when I busted
him tieing into rotted galvanized pipe…

Ja’far certainly deserves his 5 star review. I called him and he came to my house promptly. He gave me a very fair quote for the work. I was a little concerned when he was unable to come do the job on the day he said he would. He got backed up with another job (he is very popular I imagine). But he called me and made another time for which he showed up on time and totally fixed the leak in my shower and 2 toilets. He was efficient and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I ran into Ja’far at Home Depot. He was knowledgeable and very professional. Ja’far showed up at my place within 20 minutes and fixed my toilet. He was in and out within 15 minutes and left no mess. This guy is legit. I will definitely use and recommend him in the future.

Someone (who shall remain nameless, but who may have authored this review) plugged up our plumbing with some baby wipes. Guess who came out the same day we called, and stayed until after 7 pm to make sure it was all fixed? And then, guess who gave us a great price, AND gave us a bunch of good advice and clear explanations? Yep, Bashir Plumbing. Spread the word, people, we’ll be using Bashir Plumbing for all of our plumbing needs.

Couldn’t ask for more. Really good at explaining the issue we had as well as all the potential fixes/​problems down the road. Very fair with his pricing, and just really pleasant, professional attitude. Just moved into a house, and after dealing with many, many service professionals, it was really a relief to have such a quick, honest, straightforward person doing work in our house.

I wanted to take the time to let everyone know about Ja‘far.
After experiencing a couple of «very bad» plumbers, too bad to mention them, we were able to find Ja‘Far to RE-​DO all the bad work that had been done by the previous plumbers.
Be aware that plumber do not like to work on someone‘s work.
Ja‘Far was very professional, clear in his explaination, patient with our concerns, and gave us a good price for the job to be done and worked so hard to make it happened.
I would be happy to recommend him to anyone for any plumbing job and
as the previous review says he is working in the east bay and San Francisco, save yourself some time, energy, and money by calling him
Thank you very much Ja‘Far,
look forward to finish the kitchen and bathroom!
And all the future projects that my house will required!

Ja’Far is honest gets the job done and does it well.
We had a faucet burst on a Friday night, he showed up within 15 minutes, went to OSH, purchased a new faucet for us after messaging a photo that we approved and had it in by 8 pm. Prices were more than fair and a good man to work with.
I don’t know how Unilocal put this as Richmond BC Canada, Ja’Far works here in the East Bay, i.e. Richmond California!
