My son flushed a hair clip down the toilet which then clogged it and Francisco fixed everything! Ended up being a complete replacement due to some damage and the clip being in a weird spot but it was a much needed change. 10/10 would recommend this compnay. He was polite, punctual, and very helpful. And he saved us…

Christopher is a credit to Cal's. A very personable and professional young man. He was here when he said he would be, took care of everything in a timely fashion and when he left, the only way we could tell he was here, was the new toilet.

Great job, but really expensive, two toilet installs, $900 for both. And that’s just labor, I provided the toilets. I worked with the original owner several years ago, very reasonable. Son took over, now too expensive, Will not use them again.
