About

Hello, I’m a plumbing contractor, former U.S. Navy Seabee, and Desert Storm veteran. I’m proud to continue serving my community by providing honest, reliable plumbing services. With decades of hands-on plumbing experience, I bring deep knowledge to every job, from pipe repair and drain issues to water heaters and emergency plumbing needs. My family started our plumbing business years ago, and I’ve been fortunate to build lasting relationships with many loyal clients. We’re a small, family-run team from california since 1989. We havent transferred our license from california as of yet. But we truly enjoy what we do. Even as licensing and locations change, our commitment to quality work and integrity never does. Before you decide, please take a moment to read my reviews — they’ll tell you what you can expect when you choose us.

Our hot water heater went out and I contacted James through Thumbtack in the morning and he responded immediately and followed up with a phone call. He was able to come out the same day and replace our hot water heater, which was huge! James was exceptionally responsive, articulate and friendly. He gave me a no nonsense out the door price over the phone and that is exactly what we paid when he was finished with the job. We will definitely be contacting him in the future with any plumbing needs!!!! AAAAA+++++

Details: Yes, the location has an existing heater • Gas tank (standard) • I would like to discuss with the professional • House
