Two years before the giant stock market crash that led to the Great Depression, James R. Pierce decided to open up a new plumbing company in Oakland. During the next few years of turbulence and difficulty the company cut its teeth and took its first steps toward becoming a leading Bay Area Plumbing Contractor. Survival during those early years required a genuine dedication to quality and a job well done. J.R. Pierce Plumbing specializes in residential; light commercial projects. We count our most valuable assets as our employees and our reputation for doing good work at a fair price.
