Listen Cals is the only place I will ever use for plumbing I was fresh out of icu almost died had a water pressure issue and a hot water issue call came out the tech was an expert the management went out of their way to make sure that day before they left my water issues were solved price was almost nothing compared…
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.
Quiet, efficient, fair price.
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.
Great service from Dwayne
Incredible work! Had a problem with my sewage vent pipe and I couldn’t figure it out, called 3 separate companies and they gave up, but Zach stepped up to the plate and got it done in a short amount of time! Very thankful for all his help! Highly recommend!
Professional service and answered all of my questions.
Excellent service from Cals Plumbing Services. The technician was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He completed the work efficiently and provided helpful maintenance recommendations. Honest, reliable, and highly recommended!
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.…
Travis is ROCKSTAR!!!
I had a great experience with Cal’s plumbing and their technician Gabriel. I had already had three separate plumbers come out to attempt to fix a leak under my kitchen sink with no success but Gabriel expertly and quickly diagnosed the problem, drove up to Tucson to pick up the parts for a new faucet and…
Thanks for the prompt response! Christopher quickly identified the problem and presented a couple of options on how to address it. He was professional, knowledgable and kept us informed throughout the process.
Matt was fantastic! Explained everything well, was honest, and helped me come up with the best option while he was here. Eager to help out and answer any questions, and went above and beyond what he came here to do! We will definitely call him again! Thanks Matt!
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!!
Shay did an outstanding job replacing a worn out backflow preventer for the pool. I would like him to handle all my future plumbing needs
James Harris rechecked water heater to make sure elements were working and adjusted temp. James was great 👍👍👍👍
Dane was really good! The company scheduler really got me out of a jam!!
showed up promptly and did excellent work. I would definitely recommend Elijah Silverman
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.
Nick did a great job fixing my issues. He's also a very pleasant, courteous person. 👍
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!!!!
I had a pinhole leak/spray, leaving a water trail on the floor. Cal's sent Matt out with two hours. I am so thankful because it could have grown into something big. Matt was very professional and thorough.
over 1300 dollars for two hours work and 4 valves 2 flex lines. the most outrageous price i ever seen.if all plumbing companies charge this no wonder, we look at Craigslist and other places for help EXTREME PRICE SHOCK
Nick was so professional and knowledgeable, besides being most patient and thorough. I felt that I was in very capable hands. My personal wish is that all service providers could possess those qualities!
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.
The service Christopher provided was outstanding. He repaired a pipe in my irrigation system on an emergency basis (there were pipes banging inside a wall) and repaired two non-functional faucets. He explained everything he did in a way I could understand. I would highly recommend him.
Gabriel diagnosed my plumbing issue quickly and efficiently. He was very professional and polite. Thank you! Sue
Martin was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable! He helped shorten our gas line (to the stove), and serviced our newer water heater. Thank you!
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 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.
Cal's tech, Matt Watson repaired two burst pipes for us. He was very knowledgeable, and very fast completing the work and getting us back to normal. The price was less than expected. We recommend this particular tech. As he was exemplary at his job. Happy to recommend Cal's Plumbing.
Good luck to Jeremy Cals is an excellent company with a good future for him
Gabriel was pleasant, knowledgeable and worked diligently to fix my leaky valves. Will definitely use Cal's again!
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!
Cal’s is super responsive and they get you on the schedule ASAP. Techs are professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. I use Cal’s for emergencies and routine repairs and have been extremely satisfied with all results. Give them a call—you’ll be glad you did!
Jeremy was friendly and knowledgeable. Got the job done in the required time and did an excellent job explaining what he did.
Cal's Plumbing did a great job identifying the leak in our plumbing. Turned out to be a pinhole leak caused by faulty installation by original builder, and it took some tenacity by the technician. But he finally found it and they efficiently did the repair. The technicians were courteous, prompt, professional,…
It was a pleasant experience having Donny work at our home. He was very polite,informative and answered all our questions also addressed our concerns. We would highly recommend him to anyone who was in need of an experienced plumber. We were so happy with him we asked for him a second time we were in need.
Your tech did a nice clean job.
Great experience with Cal's I would highly recommend them
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 helped us find two issues clogging our drains, and repaired an iron pipe clean out. Stellar work!
Cal's Plumbing sent out Travis J to repair a leaking pipe in the front yard. The job was done quickly and professionally. Five Stars!
No one wants to need a plumber, but when I need a plumber this is the plumber I want. On time. Fair. Informative. Polite. Capable. Gabriel stayed into the evening to solve my sewer issue. Awesome.
Lucas came early on Saturday morning, found the leak, dug through the mud, repaired the leak, cleaned up the mud mess. ! Excellent job!
Had a leak in wall with water on bedroom floor. My previous plumber was willing to give me an appointment in 1 week. Laughed and called Cal's Plumbing who had the repair complete in 2 hours after I first contacted them. Needless to say Cal's is my company now. March 2022 Update - Continue to be please with Cal's…
Always a pleasure.
Great job done fixing a faulty faucet. Efficient, professional and friendly. Donnie is AWESOME such a nice guy who knows his stuff. He did a great job for us. Thank you Sooo much Donnie. 👍
Very professional. My technician (Nic) was great. Very professional and courteous. Ran some diagnosis and came up with a plan of attck for repairs.
We have always had excellent experiences with Cal's Plumbing, as have our neighbors. They get here quick and their personnel are polite and courteous. Dan was true to form for Cal's. Got here is record time and fixed the problem in minutes--and very personable. Just wish plumbing weren't so hard on the pocket-book! Thanks Cal's.
I called Cal's at 7 and our repair was completed by 930 the same day. Travis was very professional yet personable. We will be using Cal's for our plumbing needs from now on.
If every person who enters our home to fix something is like Ryan, the world would be a better place. Ryan is extremely kind, knowledgable, and just a delight to know. His work is superb. We have used Cal's plumbing several times and are always completely satisfied.
I have been using Cal’s for all my plumbing needs since 2006. Their work has always been excellent. The most recent repair was a leaking toilet seal. Matt did a great job.
A knowledgeable and personable professional that fixed our current situation and alerted us to possible future troubles to be aware of. Highly recommend.
Couldn’t be more happy!!! Thank you to Raul and Ryan for fixing our root problem and going above and beyond:)
Ryan came quickly and did a great job. Appreciate the great ongoing care.
Outstanding customer first approach to providing service.
Jack and his assistant took pride in the work they completed. They were professional, informative and responsive to our needs. Thank you for a job well done!
Couldn’t have been faster—came within hours of my call to find an occult leak from the old bathroom. Checked it out, crawled in the crawl space, identified the leaky pipe and gave a fair estimate to repair. And, scheduled the work for the next day! Quite happy with the service. Months later we had a sewer back…
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.
Very professional, hard working, dedicated, fun loving and friendly team. Got the job done quickly and did it well, with no surprise charges. Took care to protect the floor with plastic sheeting and shoe covers.
Matt was pleasant very professional. Did a great job
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…
Company was very responsive, professional, and made a timely appointment. Jack, service tech, is very pleasant, friendly, efficient, and professional. I called for an estimate for repair so I have not determine if they will do the job at this time. After getting 3 other quotes I went with Cal. Jack came out and…
I've worked with Raul, Jack, Travis and Daniel. They all have been wonderful. They are prompt, professional, and very communicative. Cal's bolsters safety by sending a picture of the technician that's on the way so you know who to expect. Would highly recommend.
Travis and his co-worker were very knowlegable plumbers . Travis has great customer skills and a very charming personality.
Major drain rerouting Clear plugged up toilet Installed dishwasher faucet and disposal
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.
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!
Cal’s plumbers did a terrific job. Part of it turned out to be a bit tricky, but no problem for these folks. Awesome work, very professional and reliable. THANK YOU!!!
We asked Cal's to give us estimates for some major repairs in out kitchen and bath - Nick was the only plumber who showed up on time, and actually discussed the repairs to be made, and options on how and where to spend our money- and even more importantly where NOT to spend extra! He was on time for the repair…
Nick is an outstanding Technician, we are so appreciative for his professionalism!
Jack was a great plumber, got to it and completed the work in short order and got the water back on!!! Thank sooo much
Billy did a great job. Jonathan did a fantastic job under very difficult problems. Would use them again in a flash.
Would highly recommend, my technician Tyler was extremely friendly, and did fantastic work for a great price. Thanks Tyler!
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.
I had the pleasure of working with Donavan on an initial consultation regarding some low flow and rust in water supply concerns. Donovan was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough with his inspection of the property. He suggested a reasonable course of action that could be implemented in stages over time. We…
Travis was great. He was very understanding and knew just what was wrong
Quick response, professional courtesy, beautiful repair work in rain, hail, crazy winds by Mr. James Harris and Asst. The best.
Very happy with the work done.
Nick Saldutti It was such a delight to meet and have Nick Saldutti do the estimates and work for both our water repipe and gas line replacement.

Very friendly. Got the job done and did an amazing job.
Tyler did a great job. Would recommend!
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 best. Knew exactly how to fix it and did so perfectly. Highly recommend. Price was reasonable and not cheap but fair. And I can’t say enough good. Hope I won’t need one soon. But surely would use call for him again!!
Ken was very professional and helped immensely with contacting others to assist with an overwhelming problem! Thanks, Ken and Cal’s Plumbing!
Excellent work!
As always, Cal's employees are awesome.
He arrived on time, was friendly and competent in his work and competed it satisfactorily. Thats all that I can ask for.
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…
They detected and resolved separate problems with unknown source on several occasions. I trust them.
Stephen was very professional. He explained what needed to be repaired and why. He also gave us additional options for repair and why he recommended it. Stephen also broke down our prices for the repair options. We felt like we got a great repair from a friendly and professional plumber. Thanks
Travis was very professional and extremely helpful when our kitchen sink backed up. He discovered our old pipes were rotting and additional work would be needed. He was able to help us understand exactly what the problem was to help us make the best informed decision for our home! We appreciated his knowledge and advice! We will be using them again!
Jared Powell was very informative and professional. Due to his professionalism I will use Cal's in the future.
