The Ferguson family didn't just acquire a franchise; they cultivated a plumbing tradition. Spencer Ferguson is a fourth-generation plumber whose sons now represent the fifth generation, actively managing intricate projects across the Oakland and Berkeley areas.
Since 1984, our team has been a pillar of the local community. We were recently honored with the 2025 Neighborly Franchise of the Year award, a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence.
We treat every home in Oakland and Berkeley with the same integrity and care we would extend to our own family.
Why We Are the East Bay’s First Choice
