Hiring Experienced Service and Repair Residential/Commercial Plumbers
Plumber
Description
EXPERIENCED SERVICE PLUMBER - NORTH HOLLYWOOD
$30-$34/hr + overtime. Most of our guys make $70K-$85K.
Family-owned C-36 shop (Lic. #583868), running Los Angeles since 1989. Service and repair only. No new construction, no tract work.
We need a plumber who can be handed a truck and a route and run calls start to finish with nobody holding his hand. Not a helper position. Not an apprentice position.
THE MONEY
$30-$34/hour base depending on what you can actually do. California pays time-and-a-half after 8 hours a day and we run the hours - most days are 8 to 10, some are 12. We don't send guys home early to dodge overtime.
- 40 hrs/week - about $62,000/yr
- 45 hrs/week - about $74,000/yr
- 50 hrs/week - about $86,000/yr
Performance pay on top of that. Company truck and gas card - another $500-$700 a month you're not spending on fuel and repairs.
THE WORK
Houses, apartment buildings, HOA properties, and light commercial, often all in the same week. A lot of it is occupied units with the tenant standing there, the manager on the phone, and a shared system you can't shut down while you figure it out.
CAN YOU DO THESE ALONE?
- Set a gas water heater start to finish: gas, venting, expansion tank, T&P, strapping, inspection-ready
- Tankless service and install
- Cable and jet a main, run a camera, locate the break
- Solder, press, PEX, galvanized transitions
- Repipes, slab leaks, underground water lines
- Gas line repair, extension, pressure test
- Trace a leak through stacked units and find which unit is causing it
- Isolate one unit or riser without shutting down the building
- Cast iron stacks - diagnose, spot repair, know when it's done
- Central water heaters, recirc lines and pumps
- Flushometers, booster pumps, grease interceptors
- Pull your own permits and pass inspection
- Write the estimate on the spot and close it
If that list reads like a normal Tuesday, we want to talk to you.
REQUIRED
- 6+ years service and repair. New construction only doesn't count.
- Real apartment, HOA, or property management experience. Not just single family houses.
- Valid CA driver's license, insurable driving record
- You can handle a tenant, a manager, and a homeowner in the same morning and all three want you back
DON'T BOTHER IF
- You need a lead tech on site to make the call
- Your background is rough-in or new construction
- You've only worked single family
- You leave a mess behind you
STRAIGHT TALK
We're not a franchise. No health insurance, no 401k. What we've got is steady year-round work, an owner you talk to directly, dispatch that backs you up, and a truck you take home. 35+ years in business, and our HOA and property management accounts mean repeat work instead of chasing one-off leads.
HOW TO APPLY - READ THIS PART
Reply to this ad with the subject line: SERVICE PLUMBER - [YOUR YEARS]
In the body, answer these four:
- How many years of service and repair (not new construction)?
- Have you worked apartments, HOAs, or property-managed buildings?
- Have you set a gas water heater by yourself, start to finish, including gas and venting?
- Describe the last multi-unit or apartment call you ran alone - what the problem turned out to be and how you found it.
Resumes without those four answers get deleted. That's not us being difficult, that's us not wasting your time or yours.
