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.

James does fantastic work! We couldn't be more pleased. We have used him for two different projects and both times he was professional, offered great value and did quality work. He kept us informed along the way as he spotted issues and he offered us various recommendations for handling them. He closed off piping in the wall, installed new angle stops and supply lines; he put in a new water pressure valve, removed the old warn out toilet flange and installed a new one; replaced a few shut off valves and installed a new water heater. We highly recommend James. He does great work with a smile and a wonderful hearty laugh. :-)
