Two jobs where involved. One repair of water leak and two installation of a water softner. Overall the service provided was above average. I can't describe it as excellent in my case as it related to the diagnostic of the water leak. Some mistakes where made which caused one of our outlets to not dispense water.…
Great job on leaky outdoor faucets . Updated all 3 and gave advise to keep them working into the future by not turning them off too tightly . Friendly, polite, and informative. Would welcome Travis to work again with any of my plumbing needs. Thank you for his great service, Marian Lind
Great service. Plumber very professional & knowledgeable. Definitely use again
Very professional,on time and friendly. You guys always do your absolute best to take care of whatever my house brings
We had Jeremy Sandoval come out and repair a pipe that sprung a leak. Within half a day they were able to show up, diagnose the problem, and fix it Jeremy was very polite and knowledgeable. He was also able to work within our budget. Highly recommend this company
Cal's Plumbing and Gabriel Augilar was wonderful. Respectful, figured out the problem quickly and assisted with all my needs. I would recommend him highly.
Cal's has been the plumbing company I have used for years. They are reliable and the work is done right the first time. I will continue to trust them with my business.
Martin is the best - above and beyond service, he's very knowledgeable and calm in a crisis!!
Interaction with Nick Was that he was eligible and courteous and professional
Travis replaced our old water heater with a newer more efficient model. He was courteous and explained what would be done before starting. When I asked a question, he told me what and why he was doing. Very friendly and experienced.
Lucas provided immediate attention to our situation. We had a below floor leak and the water had been shut off for 3 days (weekend included). he worked diligently and we had running water before he left for the day. He also was aware enough to notice the water damage that had not been noticed by another plumber -…
Nick was courteous, and professional in every way. His knowledge about my plumbing system was very sound! By
Gabriel Aguilar is an expert in what he does. He is professional and customer friendly. We will be doing future plumbing jobs with Cals and him as our perferred technician. Everything was completed affordably, cleanly, and expeditiously.
Very professional and reliable company. Martin was very knowledgeable and friendly, provided options for repairs needed. We will definitely keep this company in our contact should the need arises. Highly recommend them!!!!
Nick was punctual and informative on what my job would entail. It wasn't the news I was hoping to hear - big repipe project needed. But he laid out my options, timeline, cost, and so on in an efficient way.
Gabriel diagnosed my plumbing issue quickly and efficiently. He was very professional and polite. Thank you! Sue
We were very impressed with Nick’s attention to detail, his efficiency and ability to communicate the issues to us. He is a real pro. One of the best technicians we’ve had….ever.
Highly recommended !!!
Tyler did a great job with yearly inspection. We’ve had Tyler work on our plumbing several times and he does a great job.
Very responsive and friendly!
Very fast and professional service from the lovely woman who called to schedule to the very knowledgeable and detailed technician. The price was VERY reasonable and I was very pleasantly surprised! Will be using Cal's plumbing and requesting the fantastic Lalo again at my personal and rental homes again!!
Matt came out to replace all the piping. He was very nice, professional, and did a great job. Would highly recommend. Pricing reasonable. Great communication through the whole process. 5 star rating for Matt and Cals Plumbing.
Gabriel Hernandez did a great job fixing the leak in our shower. He was punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him and Cal’s Plumbing to anyone in need of a plumber.
Gabriel was pleasant, knowledgeable and worked diligently to fix my leaky valves. Will definitely use Cal's again!
Lucas is experienced, polite, and explains anything you have questions about. Perfect! Lucas was on time, got everything done in a timely manner, double-checked the work, excellent service! Thank you!
We've used Cal's Plumbing as our primary plumbing contractor for several properties for decades. I've called on them three times this year. They are always prompt, responsive, professional, and efficient. Five stars!
Jay Sandoval is an excellent Plumber and employee! He went above what most plumbers would do for me as a customer. Worked in a timely manner and left the area clean and "working"!! I highly recommend specifically asking for Jay Sandoval to be your Plumber from Cal's Plumbing.
Your tech did a nice clean job.
James from Cal's Plumbing is knowledgeable, hardworking, efficient, tidy and personable. He explains problems and solutions clearly, and he listens carefully. Highly recommend. Cal's Plumbong as a company has always been responsive, communicates regularly for scheduling updates/service windows, and has great…
Our technician Jay did a terrific job from the beginning. He asked a lot of questions during the estimate instead of just throwing around jargon and asserting himself. He was very thoughtful when navigating through our house during the estimate and while doing the work. We ended up paying way less and our needs were…
Gabriel from Cal's did a fine job on a tricky repair.
Donny from Cal's Plumbing did an amazing job both in customer relations and with his skill set on the plumbing repair! He is a great asset to the company. Thank you.
Matt was great! Very informative and transparent about the work and cost. Cal's plumbing responded very quickly to a leak at my home and were there the same day! Excellent service.
I was out of town when the repairs were performed. However, everything is working fine.
Cal’s Plumbing does a great job! Very helpful, professional, kind, and cleans up afterwards. They get my very highest endorsement.
Lalo was knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. He was great at solving problems and explained what needed to be done very well. The job was done quickly and efficiently.
I’ve used Cal’s for years. They have been my go to guys. And they are a local family business.
Great workmanship! Great customer service!
May 2023: Jack M. was so efficient, competent and personable that I wish we could request him personally for future service calls. He addressed a couple of issues I’ve been putting off for fear of the cost but his estimate and knowledge of what needed to be done saved us big bucks vs. the other estimate we got.…
The service that Jack Manning and Cal's Plumbing provide is always exceptional.
Tech was professional and explained the situation well. Price was reasonable. Work is under warranty. Will call again if we have future problems.
Tech Matt and his partner were very professional and through even finding some additional problems that they corrected. highly recommend Matt and Cal's Plumbing.
Nick did a great job! Very nice, professional, and personable. Explained everything he was doing and basically taught me how my whole indoor and outdoor water system works. Being a new home owner, that was very useful information.
Fantastic job second time here had to dig for new water line from alley to house. Very very satisfied so far. Hard workers. We were told if we waited until the 19th of June the same tech would come and finish our complete repiping job. A different tech was sent if we had known this we would not have waited over a…
Travis was on time, friendly and professional. Explained the situation thoroughly. He did the repair quickly. We will definitely call him back! 5 star service!
Major drain rerouting Clear plugged up toilet Installed dishwasher faucet and disposal
Had them replace a failing shower valve cartridge that I couldn't remove. The tech I dealt with was knowledgeable, punctual, and straight to the point about how to resolve the issue without any unnecessary bs. Fantastic experience.
Great bunch of guys to have working on my place. It was hot in the cramped space where most of the repiping was done, but they got it all done quickly and correctly.
Nick went above and beyond to make sure the problem was fixed.he’s very kind, professional and knowledgeable.
Plumber did an awesome job! I will be using this company for any future plumbing issues.
Was kind and professional!
Got a difficult job done!
Ryan was very thorough, and very honest. He fixed a leak under the kitchen sink just by reattaching something that came loose, at no charge. He gave clear prices for other work, and answered questions about other estimates for possible future jobs. Cal's isn't cheap, but quality service never is.
Tyler was a true professional. Introduced his self and got right to it. He found a loose pc of pvc by the meter and I don’t remember paying anyone to do that. Tyler said they didn’t even glue it. I’m anxiously waiting for a call from Tyler so I can ask him a couple questions but I am having this work done by Cal!
The tech that was dispatched to our house was fast, efficient, extremely knowledgeable, and got the job done right.
Ryan was awesome. Fixed multiple leaks. Thank you.
The service from Cal’s and plumber Jack Manning have been excellent. Everything is explained and my concerns/feedback are heard. Cleanup was great and booties and plastic were used.
We were in a tight jam but Cal's plumbing was there for us. James was great. He even made a recommendation on a potential project that ended up being very valuable to us. I will be sticking with Cal's Plumbing for all my future plumbing needs.
Travis was great. He was very understanding and knew just what was wrong
Best service and best price. After shopping around multiple companies for the best price I hired Cal's plumbing. Not only did they beat all others by a lot on price, they also quickly diagnosed the problem and solved it. I would not call anyone else but Cal's Plumbing in the future
Got it done very fast - couldn’t be happier
Excellent service. Showed up as promised. Great experience!
Stephen Rawlins was very helpful and was knowledgeable with the plumbing l have inside my block walls that is not easy to access. I will use Cal's again.
Tyler was amazing. This is the second time he's helped us, and has exceeded expectations both times. Thank you Tyler!
New faucet
My first call to Cal's for a leak repair. Ryan was dispatch and did a great job! The company is well organized and communicative. I will gladly call Cal’s in the future. UPDATE: My second call to Cal's for service on 12/30/2022 was exception. Tyler is a great technician who really cares to do the job right.
Tyler was upfront, communicated well, and did a good job on my shower. Definitely going to use Cal's again. This isn't one of those weird forced reviews, I'm truly speaking candidly.
I bit off more than I could chew working on my new property & Cal's plumbing took my call when the others didn't. Dan & his partner arrived within 20 mins of my call & took care of the leak in no time.
The repair was done efficiently and with the correct type of pipe and fitting. The “other” plumber took a less expensive shortcut that costed us dearly. We will definitely use Cal‘s plumbing service again!
Fast and professional.
Ryan did an excellent job of assessing the problem and developing a plan for a solution. Bravo!!
Really happy with my total experience. I would use them again for sure!!
Donovan was knowledgeable and helpful about my plumbing issue. Suggested I turn off drip system to I ate leak which helped. Rather than fix something right away he made some suggestions that I could follow.
We had a big emergency after I accidentally broke a buried pvc supply line and had to turn the house water off until it could be fixed. Cal’s Plumbing is open until 7pm so I was able to reach the receptionist, who was very nice, and got us on the schedule for the next day and said someone would call in the morning…
Replaced leaky bathroom faucet. They do a great job! I've used them for years on jobs large and small. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for (premium, knowledgeable service).
Joe was very professional and fast. Highly recommend them.
Jared and Daniel arrived promptly and began the analysis of the plumbing situation. The news got more complicated and they explained what needed to be done and worked diligently over a few days to accomplish the repair. We would rate them as first class and we give them an A-1 rating. Cal’s is highly recommended…
We called Cal's plumbing when we heard running water. They were professional, timely, and overall AMAZING! Ryan came to our house and got right to work. He communicated with us throughout the entire process. He was professional and courteous. We will definitely use this company again.
Joe Osborne was knowledgeable, courteous and very professional! I highly recommend Cal’s plumbing!
We were very pleased with both the work and professionalism from the technicians that came out to do the work. Ours is a very old house with old pipes. It can be very frustrating to work on. Despite that the technicians were very helpful letting us know what was going on with the repair. It was clear they enjoy…
Ryan was very professional and thorough. He found the problem right away, that another plumber claimed he had come to my rental home and claimed he did the repair…but NOTHING had been done. When I came to see the so called repair, everything was as I had left it, soaking wet towels in the same place and found that…
From the office to the plumber, Kenneth Harlan, all were professional, courteous and efficient. I do not live in Tucson but needed a good plumber for a major job at a house I own and rent back to my son. It was a bit stressful finding a good plumber over the phone but when I contacted Cal’s they went above and…
Had to shut my water off because of a bad leak under the kitchen sink. Called around noon and they were able to work me in at 4:30pm. Kenneth did a great job and we had a good discussion about the age of the home and other plumbing issues that will probably arise. I’m a realist so I appreciated that information.…
Dan was very professional and very friendly. He showed me what he was doing and explained how he drained the water heater. He cleaned and tidied up everything before he left and made sure I didn’t have any questions. A++++++ Thanks, Dan!
