Our technician from Cal’s plumbing Matt Watson showed up when he said he would. Found the leak at our meter and called when with options and prices to repair. I agreed to the estimate and Matt took care of it right away. Great communication from Cal’s, and from Matt, and very professional.

Zack was delightful and professional. He diagnosed problem immediately and fixed it neatly. I got 3 calls to alert me when he would be coming. I even think the call screening AI was very good. Thank you.

Matt was amazing. Dug out the main water leak area in humid and hot conditions. Identified the leak and proposed a better solution that would ensure it did not happen again. Cleaned the area and left it pristine. Highly recommend him.

We had a leak in our bathroom sink. I called my "forever" plumbers, Cal's Plumbing. They are my "forever" plumbers because they always do an excellent job, they always leave the job site cleaner than it was before they started, and they are reasonably priced. They came out the same day and fixed the problems.…

Nick came over literally less than an hour after requesting the service for a hose connection behind my washer. He explained the options, and also the pros and cons of each option. He was done in less than 2 hours. Excellent service!!

I'll definitely use Cal's plumbing in the future. They're much better than the previous plumber I was using that was basically charging ridiculous amounts of money. Lucas was awesome.
