I have used Jim Shaw Plumbing several times for plumbing issues at a rental house. He's an old-school plumber who charges reasonable rates and does not try to up-sell. If our tenant calls him for a stopped drain or garbage disposal problem, I know I'll get the straight scoop when I talk to him.

Kitchen sink overflowed.  Called plumber who arrived in less than an hour.  He fixed the blockage promptly and was professional and courteous.

Jim understood the urgent need for the repair because the leak in the main gas line to our home had deteriorated and developed a leak. The Gas Company technician said it was bad enough to require service to be turned off until repairs had been made by a licensed plumber. He arrived within an hour, gave us a reasonable estimate, did the repairs without delay and restored the work area in the lawn to a normal condition. Very neat and efficient. The Gas Co. tech restored service after testing the line for further leaks. Jim is now "our" plumber.

Fine. Done that day and in a short time.
The most important part is that Jim Shaw came over within minutes himself and got his employee to do the job.

Jim was amazing and very professional.  He showed up on time, completed the work and was very reasonable on the price, even offering a senior discount.  I will definitely use Jim Shaw plumbing in the future and I highly recommend him.

Mr. Shaw was extraordinarily efficient and proved to be an expert with regard to my plumbing needs which required immediate attention thanks to a dispute with Los Angeles Dept. of Water & Power. He corrected the problem perfectly and provided services well beyond what he charged. I would not hesitate to call upon him at any time in the future for any plumbing needs.

This was not an easy chore to get done.  It was a 1950's era house with "different" plumbing concepts than we see in today's construction. Installing the valve correctly required a lot of craftmanship.  He was very professional, and extremely responsive and economical.  This was a GREAT experience I would highly recommend him to everyone. The cost is approximate because the bill was sent to escrow.

I called Jim and he came by the next day.  He had someone come by to scope the line and I had to get it cleared and an clean out placed.  I don't recall the exact language for the work!

We called our usual plumber (whom we have used for years and with whom we are highly satisfied) but when we could not reach him and were not sure he was around during the holidays I called Jim Shaw's number.  When there was no answer i did not leave a message but within about a half hour he called me back.  I told him the problem and he said he could get here in about an hour.  He showed up right on time, took care of the problem and was very professional and his price was very reasonable.  I would recommend him highly.

I had a sleeping baby both times they came and he was very conscious about that. They were great and I really like them.

My favorite, old-school plumber moved away and referred me to Jim Shaw Plumbing. Jim showed up on time and called me with good news: the garbage disposal did not need to be replaced, like another plumber had told my tenant.  He re-set it and snaked the clogged drains. He saved me hundreds of dollars, and the tenant was happy with the results.  He's my new go-to plumber.

The entire process went great. Jim and his guys did everything they said they would and every took the time to explain what they were doing and how everything worked to our eight year old son.

Responsive service, friendly, but some of the quality wasn't perfect, had to come back to fix some leaks.
