Zachary did an amazing job! Fast response time, asking questions to find out the issue, and making sure I got the best deal possible. Even IF I could have found a better price somewhere else(which I doubt cause it was too good a deal), Zachary sealed the deal with his professionalism, humor, and knowledge. 10/10!!
Jeremy was excellent and got a lot done in one day! Fixed a toilet, replaced a pressure valve on the main line, replaced garbage disposal and replaced my water heater! I am very happy with their prompt service and will use them again.
Called at 8:00. Service tech here before 9:00. Shay did an excellent job. Won't go with anyone else.
Polite, knowledgeable, checked everything twice, left everything clean. Answered all my questions.
Martin is the best - above and beyond service, he's very knowledgeable and calm in a crisis!!
Excellent service by Gabriel Hernandez!
Shay H came out to install a replacement water heater and did a great job. Friendly and professional. 5/5!
Matt was our plumber. He was fast and efficient and also very informative. I would definitely use Cal's Plumbing again.
Travis was great and quick.
Did a great job all professional
Professional, knowledgeable, courteous.
Cal was great!
Great job.
I called on a Friday AM and Lucas was there by 1. He scoped the job, brought in an associate with a 75 gallon water heater, and they were gone by 4. I had a hot shower by 5:30 vs on Monday!
Matt Watson has done it again. The legend Matt always solves our issues. Today we had a new water heater installed and a whole home filter replaced. Now we have real water pressure again. Thank goodness. I will always request Matt.
I was very pleased with tech-Travis. Service was prompt and informative. I would use Cal's in the future and ask for Travis.
Wow! Hot water tank replaced quickly and perfectly!
Service was excellent, give him a raise
Lucas was very knowledgeable and helpful. We needed new equipment and he helped us. He was patient with us to make our decision.
This was the most seamless plumbing issue ever! My water heater needed to be replaced and my regular plumber was MIA. I called my handyman and he suggested Cal’s. I made the call and within the next hour had a professional arrive at my home. After agreeing on necessary’s steps, Mr. Tennison retrieved the new water…
very professional, also personality was pleasant and would recommend
Very reliable, and personable workers.
Jonathan was on time. He installed a new gas water heater and did an excellent job. He was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He explained what was done and how to operate. Cal’s is who we use for all our plumbing needs!
Nick was a true angel, no exaggeration. My brother-in-law desperately needed help with multiple issues at his house, and Nick came in with compassion, expertise, and honesty to help him get back on his feet. The wrong person could've sent the situation over the edge for all of us, and I am so grateful that Nick was…
Excellent experience Chris was great and did a professional job Highly recommended
On time, courteous, and called prior to arrival. Replaced a hot water heater, very Efficiently and neatly. I’ve had three experiences with Cal and of all the plumbing services in Tucson to choose from choose Cal very competent organization
Travis from Cal’s Plumbing is super knowledgeable. He tried his best to solve any plumbing related issues we had and came through with solutions. Great workmanship and very respectful.
Anthony did a great job in installing my new hot water heater. He was very friendly and worked at the problem. Thanks to Cal’s Plumbing for a job well done.
Travis did a GREAT job. Couldn't shut off the kitchen faucet. That drip drip was like a Chinese water torture! Travis got it fixed quickly and it works like a charm. He will be installing a new water heater on Tuesday for me. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Very satisfied with Cal's Plumbing. Would definitely recommend them.
I’ve used Cal’s for years. They have been my go to guys. And they are a local family business.
This review has several updates. See below. 12/14/23. Ryan Cooper did a great job for us today. He is fast and efficient. I hope Cal's Plumbing sends him to us again. 8/2/23. Donny Bueno did an excellent job installing a sprayer to the master bedroom toilet. He was efficient, knowledgable, and took extra…
Ryan Copper is always, a very professional Technician. He always does a great job, and is always a pleasure to work with. I’ve used Cal’s for years, and will continue too.
Cal's Plumbing is my go-to plumbing team experts. They're conscientious, dependable and have integrity. I've worked with several technicians over the years and they're all excellent. Martin M. came today and remained until the job was done correctly. Martin was commitment to solving my plumbing problems. He…
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.
Donny Bueno was professional from the beginning of removing my old hot water tank to installing my new one and instructing me on how to use it! He was tidy and cleaned up after himself! He asked me pertinent questions and explained his reasoning for doing the correct proceedures. He was a pleasure to have doing…
Installed a new water heater after showing us why and different options to consider. We are extremely pleased with our new setup. Donny did a great job start to finish, including a tutorial of how everything worked. We highly recommend to othets. Great job.
Thank You! Ryan and Taylor for the great job getting my problem diagnosed! David
I’m new to town and had to pick a plumber solely on reviews and reputation. I’m honestly very impressed with their work. Called on a Saturday afternoon to get a bathtub installed and a water heater replaced, and it was done by 4pm on Monday. Ryan did a very neat job, was very professional, and it was all priced…
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…
All of the above, Dominic was great a pleasure to work with I’m very happy with the results
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.
Ryan was amazing and made the process easy access painless
Professional and took care to explain all options available for replacement. Representative pleasant to work with.
Plumber came to my house to look at water heater wasn’t functioning . Then said I needed a replacement. I said it was under warranty. They said they’ll call the warranty company tomorrow. They never did and I called them to find that the person who helped me forgot about me. This made me very ashamed to think that I…
Tyler was prompt and professional He did a neat clean job and locked up my garage as I had an appointment to attend. Good service. Tyler deserves a Dairy Queen Blizzard ! 🥴. Joe Mullarkey
Danny was great and very informative! We discussed our 14yr old water heater that I'd never drained. Although it's still working fine, replacement is probably coming up. Daniel.will provide some options and estimates to be considered at some point. Great service and help! Travis and Graham did the installation and…
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.
Donovan and Drew were polite, professional and efficient. Diagnosed the problem and repaired it.
Excellent service, professional, personable and pleasant young man. Explained what might happen, explained clearly what was done to fix issue. Overall a 5 star experience.I will use the service again.
Joe did a killer, efficient job…as usual!
Extremely fine installation . Had pilot problems but Jacob was more than accommodating. I would recommend Cal’s plumping to anyone I know been using them for over 20 years. Always satisfied and more importantly if their is a problem THEY never question it THEY JUST FIX IT AND MAKE IT RIGHT . Highly recommend Cal’s…
Jacob is a great young man. Fast, no time wasted. Jacob knows his stuff and is quite the sales person also.
We've used Cal's for years, both at home and at my shop. Always courteous technicians that do a good job.
Donovan came on a Saturday on short notice and replaced our water heater. It was a difficult job in an older home complete with old corroded fittings that required a great deal of skill to remove. That day we had a new water heater. He provided me with options on pricing and the price I picked is exactly the price I…
Mom's water heater was leaking water for hours. I called and they sent someone out as soon as one was available. They took out old water heater and installed new one within hours. They called restorative services. Contacted insurance company. Great service for my elderly mom
Great service. Highly recommended 👌
Cal's has done an amazing job. We have used them twice: once to replace our water heater and install water treatment and again to repair a leak in our irrigation. Dan and Paulie helped us and both were extremely professional and efficient. I will definitely use them for our future needs.
Cal's service was timely and friendly. Leland, our service rep was knowledgeable and efficient. He installed our new water heater quickly and correctly. He answered all my questions with patience and good cheer. I'll call Cal's Plumbing for all my plumbing needs. Bonnie Brosseau
Called on a Saturday morning with water heater flooding garage. Leiland was here quickly and installed a new water heater. He was efficient and knowledgeable. Took good care of the situation. Thumbs up!
Jacob was the one who came out and replaced my water heater. He did a great job and worked really hard. I am currently out of state, but my son and daughter-in-law are there and said that the job was well done! Everyone involved let me know what to expect and what was happening throughout the whole deal. Thank you.
Nick did an excellent job. I highly recommend him and Cal's Plumbing.
Super fast response time, really helpful people, and fair and good solutions. Really great company and I highly recommend them!
Cal’s Plumbing has been servicing our home for nearly 10 years. They are always professional, friendly and above all TRUSTWORTHY!!
Excellent response when our water heater quit during the evening. Everyone was professional and responsive when they diagnosed the problem and installed a new water heater. We highly recommend Cal's Plumbing.
I wish I knew the names of the two servicemen who replaced our hot water heater. I was not here and my husband didn't get their names. But, they were professional, timely, and did an excellent job. They left the warranty with the unit. Only thing I haven't yet received is our receipt, which I hope will be coming any time via email.
Plumber was very familiar with the idiocyncracies of the plumbing issues associated with these condos and was efficient and effective. Highly recommend Cal’s Plumbing.
Very happy with the workmanship and professionalism. Very timely in their scheduling. Nick put in a new garbage disposal for us as well as a new gas water heater. Would not hesitate to call them again. Estimates in line with others. Thank you Nick!
Very professional, communicative and cordial. Not the lowest price I've ever found, but, the best service you will find.
Installed thankless water heater. Very satisfied with service.
Dan is very personable, listens to what the problem is and gets the job done swiftly. He is friendly and kind. I always call Cal's for my water needs!
Good job, on time and knowledgeable.
I am very happy with the work completed by Cal's Plumbing. We replaced our old water heater with a tankless gas water heater. Leonard was my installer and he was so kind and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions, was professional and timely. We loved the service. I gave 4 stars because the customer service…
We will be using Cal's to install our new hot water heater as Joe Osborne has done work for us in the past and we love Joe! He's always been fair, reasonable,knowledgeable and honest.
One day service. From Joanie the receptionist to Cody the technician it was one of the best experiences I've had with home repairs. Highly recommend them.
