Larry Fingerhut Plumbing and Heating

I called a few places to get someone to come over and fix a slow leak from a toilet tank. Larry came right over and gave a quick estimate for the work, picked up a specialty part to repair a vintage toilet, and had the problem fixed the next day.
Good work, reasonable pricing and a great attitude. I will be keeping Mr. Fingerhut’s business card for future plumbing work.

Called Larry looking for someone to fix our in home radiator. He was so kind and honest and told me he knows about them, but isn’t an expert. Radiators are a specialized plumbing. He so graciously gave me a few recommendations of people to get into contact with. Really great guy, will be calling him in the future for plumbing needs.

Thank you Larry the plumber! I called Larry with a clogged toilet at 8pm on a Monday, hoping he wouldn’t charge my roommates and I the $ 200 Rotor Rooter quoted us. Because we live nearby, he walked over with his tools and unclogged the toilet in record time and charged considerably less than rotor rooter. Thank you Larry for the house call! Everyone should use him

Larry the LIFE SAVER!
Larry is awesome. On time, efficient, kind, reliable, knows what he’s doing… I completely trust him in my home if I need to leave for errands while he works… He’s been coming to my place for the past 5 years to do repairs and I haven’t gone to anyone else because no one can do the job as efficient as Larry does. THANK YOU LARRY!

I have used him for years and he is excellent. I was concerned recently because I had trouble getting in touch with him on mobile or business phone number but finally did. He is just really a busy guy.

Larry is a knowledgeable, friendly, all-​around awesome plumber.
I called him this morning for an emergency repair when the water line to my fridge sprang a leak. He gave me great advice on the phone, and then came by in person within 20 minutes to help me figure out and fix the issue.
Very thorough, tons of knowledge, and very well-​prepared, even on such short notice — I was extremely grateful!

In short, Larry is an awesome plumber. I can’t say enough.
We moved into a new house to find a very loud ticking sound in our master bedroom wall. The first contractor that came explained how until one opens the wall, you won’t know for sure what’s causing the problem.
Larry came over to assess the situation and spent the better part of an hour examining the pipes from the garage, etc. and was very careful about pinpointing the source of the sound: the flue from the hot water heater. This work was no charge to us as it was part of his estimating the job.
Fixing the problem involved cutting open our bedroom wall (all contractors agreed on this). However, Larry made a very precise cut that opened the smallest section of wall possible (1.5′ x 1.5′) with great care.
He not only fixed the problem, he carefully replaced sheet rock, and he very carefully explained the problem and his fix. The contractor who came to repair the wall commented on the quality of Larry’s patch and how easy it had made his job.
Larry’s quality of work was excellent. I would trust no one else to do any future plumbing and heating work.
Update: A few weeks after this experience, we recommended him to a co-​worker that needed to fix a vintage 1953 toilet. She reported that Larry was great: thorough, efficient, and knowledgeable. He had all the parts with him that were needed for replacement. He also took care of several other little things that needed fixing in the bathroom. Even her grumpy little kitty fell in love with him right away.

Larry fit me into his schedule after I called a company Discount Plumbing Rooter. The first company came by and gave me an estimate for 655.00 with a 65 dollar discount. This seemed outrageous to replace a thermocoupler. Larry charged me ²⁄₃^rd less and was honest and helpful and fixed a drippy faucet on his way out. He must be the last honest plumber in the city… everyone else thought we were tech suckers and could over charge us I suppose. Thanks Larry!

Larry is a GREAT plumber. He’s conscientious and extremely competent. I’ve had to call him for both heating and plumbing issues and every time’s he’s been GREAT. Doesn’t inflate the issue, is more than reasonably priced (could raise his rates) and I trust his judgement. He’s not over selling or over fixing things to inflate the bill. I’ll call this guy for both advise as well as actual work. I just hope he doesn’t get too popular and become difficult to schedule!

He was great. Squeezed me in to be the first appt of the day, reset my heater, and made sure everything was working properly. It was super cold and I had no heat. Got everything back in working order within 15 minutes. Now planning to have him come back and do a bunch of small, not urgent plumbing jobs. Honest, very knowledgable, and very reasonable prices.

Larry replaced a toilet for us. Solid, thorough work. Easy to schedule. Very experienced guy, will definitely call me for future plumbing needs.

Larry is a good guy and probably the best, most honest plumber in the whole city. He is competitively priced and does top-​notch work. I can’t think of a reason to call someone else.

Larry does solid work, he’s an honest guy, and he is very competitively priced based on two other 4−5-star places on Unilocal I called.
I had Larry replace the gas valve on my in-​wall furnace. Took about 1.5hrs. He did a great job, tied in the thermostat wire to preserve the safety shutoff.
Talking with Larry may require some patience. He’s got a lot of experience and likes to make sure you’ve considered all the ins and outs before you make a decision. In my experience, it was well worth it in the end.

He is fast — usually same day appointments — and he knows his stuff. Reasonable prices and very nice.

Larry has been out to my house a few times. He is knowledgeable and reasonably priced. He was recommended to me by a plumbing supply warehouse. He is excellent for emergencies or routine jobs. Wish I would have known about him sooner.

I’ve been using Larry for 5 years, since I purchased my condo. We’ve had him come maybe 5 or 6 times, for everything from a running toilet to snaking the main sewer line from the building. He is very reasonably priced and just a super nice guy. I highly recommend him for all your plumbing needs.

I would highly recommend Larry to anyone that has a plumbing issue! I had a clogged toilet and he was at my house in less then a half hour. It turned out to be a simple fix for him, but he was super friendly and knowledgable of all things plumbing.
Great for anyone in the Haight-​Ashbury neighborhood or surrounding areas looking for a plumber!

I really wanted to like this plumber, he seemed honest, straightforward, and reasonable as far as costs. I had a leak from my master bath and it was causing damage to the unit below me, so fixing it quickly was a priority. Her stated her would try and get to me by 5pm Thursday, and if not then Friday. Thursday comes and goes and no response after several calls. Halfway through Friday still no call back so tried to find another plumber… An impossibility, short notice on Friday. He should’ve just told me from the beginning he couldn’t help me out and I would have went with another plumber. A real let down considering all the good help reviews.

I highly recommend Larry as a plumber. I recently bought a condo and had a water leak. I knew Larry because he did all the plumbing for the building where I was a renter. It was a comfort to able to call on someone I trusted for good advice, quality work, and very reasonable prices. Larry is very personable, and I feel he really values his customers and treats them well. I’ll use Larry for all my future plumbing needs. He’s pretty busy, but did manage to squeeze me in on short notice. He didn’t have a fee for just showing up, like another plumber I called did. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with Larry as a plumbing contractor!

I had a minor toilet issue, and Larry was recommended by my building management. He was reliable, knowledgeable and efficient, and also very pleasant. His prices are also very reasonable, and he did take extra time to find the right parts. I highly recommend him to anyone with plumbing issues.
