by a San Francisco family.
Rooted in San Francisco since 1929
Plumbing is a trade.
We're a family.
Lutz opened on Green Street in North Beach in 1929, and spent decades building relationships one neighborhood at a time. We moved to 17th Street in 1983, still family-owned, still answering our own phones. If your parents called Lutz, they probably knew the owner by name.
Where we work
Serving every San Francisco neighborhood.
From the Mission to Pacific Heights, the Sunset to Dogpatch, we know SF housing stock because we helped build it.
How we work
No games. No gotchas. Just good plumbing.
The way service used to be, when your word meant something and you put your name on your work.
Call or request online
During business hours a real dispatcher answers (after-hours emergencies get a callback). We'll triage your issue and quote a realistic arrival window.
We diagnose before we quote
Our technician inspects the real problem, including camera inspection for drain work, then explains what's actually needed.
Transparent pricing, your call
Written quote before any work starts. Simple jobs get a fixed price; complex ones get a clear scope plus how we'll handle anything we discover along the way. No surprise invoicing.
Work we'll put our name on
Every job is backed by our craftsmanship warranty. If it's not right, we come back and make it right.
What neighbors say
What San Francisco neighbors say.
"Water heater went out on Memorial Day weekend. Phil texted me Friday night with suggestions and showed up early Saturday to troubleshoot himself. Couldn’t rate them highly enough."
"They installed three Toto toilets in our home and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. When I had a gas leak emergency at another property, Phil sent someone immediately."
"Great experience during the installation of our Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor system. Phil and his team are prompt, responsive, trustworthy, and the quality of work is top-notch."
