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!!

Great service. Plumber very professional & knowledgeable. Definitely use again
Cal’s installed a water heater for us last year and this morning it decided not to cooperate with us. I called this morning for service and spoke with Taylor on the phone. She was easy to communicate with and got everything lined up for a same-day visit. This afternoon I received text updates from them when the…
Martin is the best - above and beyond service, he's very knowledgeable and calm in a crisis!!
Matt was friendly, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. He repaired the issue and fully explained the situation.
James Harris rechecked water heater to make sure elements were working and adjusted temp. James was great 👍👍👍👍

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.
Always prompt response and excellent service.
Lucas did an amazing job! He was friendly and professional. Gave us total cost up front. Even found us a coupon that helped save us $ We will definitely call Cal's plumbing in the future for all our plumbing needs!! Highly recommend
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…
Very professional, efficient and honest! Highly recommend!!!
Tyler was fantastic—he helped a lot & said he’d send me info on a better filter for my tankless hot water heater. Cool!
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.
Outstanding service and quality work- 5 stars for Nick and his associate. Would highly recommend!
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.
He was quick, efficient and friendly
Water heater Cal's installed 12 years ago needed some preventive maintenance. Cal's took care of it timely and professionally as expected.
James performed annual maintenance on my tankless water heater which hadn’t been done since the house was built 6 years ago. He ran multiple flush cycles to ensure all buildup and scale were removed and that the hot water was clean. He explained the flush process so I could do it next year which I appreciate.…
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.
Donavan always does great work. A company like Cal’s is only as good as its people, and Donavan is top notch. Experience makes all the difference. Thank you.
Was able to come to fix problem same day as called. Quick and efficient service.
Cal’s is always responsive, reliable and fairly priced. The techs are very knowledgeable and honest.
Excellent courteous service very helpful young man.
Great job👌
Kenneth provided a comprehensive repair estimate as requested.
I have had cals work on my water heaters twice and their plumber Leland is a very good plumber. He is honest, hardworking very respectful and just plain nice. I have had Leland twice at my house and both myself and wife have nothing but good things to say about this young man. He is definitely making his company…
Very professional service.
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
Prompt and personable technician. Replaced nonfunctioning POS water heater. Only complaint was that the promised call from the office that tech was on the way, did not occur.
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
Great education on what to look for the next time, prompt in arrival, thorough in making sure everything worked and no gas leak. Highly recommended!
Great service. Very prompt and turnaround was fast. Highly recommend!
First experience with Cal’s and very pleased. After bad experiences with other plumbing companies in Tucson, Cal’s Plumbing will be getting our business from now on. Dan came out to service our water heater since we were unsure about age and condition since buying the house. Dan was great, answered all my questions…
Drew did a fantastic job repairing our water heater, he was very thorough and informative as to how we can best maintain it going forward.
Jonathon responded quickly to our service request and got our water heater up and running in no time. Will definitely call on Cal's again in the future!
I was having a hard time getting my gas water heater to start and Billy took the time to show me how the starter function works on my unit. He was professional and courteous and even spent extra time inspecting our electric water heater and various plumbing issues around the house.
Great service! Came out earlier due to cancelation so I didn't have to pay the after hours fee. Worked his way around our budget & was very helpful!
