Selected Work
Twelve projects across San Francisco, Marin, the Peninsula and the East Bay: pre-war homes, a high-rise remodel, a multi-unit building, Iron Springs Public House and Henry's House of Coffee.
The portfolio
A bathroom remodel at the Four Seasons Residences. Work inside a serviced building runs to the building’s rules as much as to the drawings: agreed access, agreed hours, and every shutdown arranged before anything is opened.
A project in Atherton. What a home on this part of the Peninsula asks of a plumber is work that stays quiet while it is happening and invisible once it is done.
A full remodel in a Rincon Hill tower. High-rise plumbing is stacked plumbing: a line touched on one floor is a line that runs through the floors above it and below it.
Work across a multi-unit building in Belvedere. Plumbing around people who live there is a sequencing problem before it is a plumbing one, because every unit needs its water back at the end of the day.
A remodel on Washington Street. Behind the plaster in homes like these, galvanized and cast iron are usually the first thing a remodel finds, and the first decision the schedule has to absorb.
A kitchen remodel in the Castro. A kitchen holds the densest plumbing in a home: supply, waste, vent, gas and filtration all inside one run of cabinetry, with no room to move any of it later.
A master bath remodel. This is where fixture choice and rough-in meet: a thermostatic valve, a freestanding tub or a wall-hung basin each need their rough-in set months before the fixture arrives.
Rough-in plumbing for a home in Berkeley. Rough-in is the stage nobody sees: every supply, waste and vent line set, tested and signed off before the walls close over it.
Plumbing for Iron Springs Public House. A working kitchen and bar is commercial plumbing: high-volume drainage, grease handling, and fixtures that take a day of use no domestic fitting would survive.
A remodel for Henry’s House of Coffee. In a business that has to reopen, the plumbing is planned around the days the room can be closed, and the sequence is agreed before the first fitting comes off.
A sewer lateral replaced on Clay Street. The lateral is the line between the home and the city sewer, and under older San Francisco blocks it is usually century-old clay or cast iron.
Underground plumbing for a whole-home remodel in Piedmont. Underground work is the part of a home that cannot be revised afterwards: it is set, inspected, and then buried under everything else.
