What homeowners say
Wes at Brimer Plumbing does great work! Our 29 year-old water heater was leaking and much in need of replacement. Timely, efficient and meticulous work. Clear communication. Patient with our questions. It's worth noting that Wes went above and beyond — he cleared old pipes from a former radiant heating system, expanding our storage space and improving safety.

Outstanding service from Brimer Plumbing at my cabin in Truckee! Responsive, easy to communicate with, and very patient as I sorted out my situation. Wesley explained the issue and outlined repair recommendations in a way that was easy to understand, and Jamie was always available by text and phone.
K B.
Alameda, CA
A new gas fireplace was on the horizon and we needed someone to draw up the plan, get a permit and install the gas line. Prompt, professional and efficient. Jamie took photos of his work upon completion and it was well done. He also noticed something in our house and gave his recommendations for our safety. This man is thorough and obviously cares.
Stephanie Y.
Berkeley, CA
Jamie is reliable, efficient and extremely pleasant to work with. He converted my home from propane to natural gas and took care of all the tedious steps — permits, inspections, working with subcontractors. I wasn't totally happy with an issue with my water heater and he agreed it wasn't ideal and came to make it right. I will always call Jamie first.
Jill S.
Truckee, CA
Had a gas leak during the major storm of winter '23. Jamie Brimer came out to locate the leak and do the necessary repairs. Being in the dead of winter without heat was a major issue, but he quickly handled the permitting from the city of Truckee to get the job done as soon as possible. Definitely recommend.
Chris B.
San Francisco, CA
Called three plumbers with strong Yelp ratings and Brimer was first to respond. He committed his plumber to be at my place in an hour and sure enough he was. JP did the work so fast I was still in my first hour so I had him fix another issue too. JP was super nice, tidy and a great plumber. Will call Brimer again for sure!
