My name is Raymond Gray, and I hail from a family deeply rooted in plumbing. My great-grandfather and grandfather were pipe fitters who worked on military vessels for many years. After leaving the Navy in the 1960s, my grandfather became a Union member. He later focused on residential and commercial plumbing service and repairs.
My father, born in 1961, learned plumbing from my grandfather during his childhood. In 1977, I was born, and I vividly remember crawling under houses at eight, playing in the dirt, and watching my dad fix things. At about twelve, I began to take on plumbing repairs. Though I initially disliked plumbing, growing up in a low-income family pushed me to learn a trade.
I dropped out of high school, earned my GED, and left home. I rejoined my dad in the plumbing business in 2001. I founded A-1 Total Service Plumbing in 2004 and have never looked back. I work with my dad every day. I demand excellence from my plumbers so I can provide top-quality service to my clients.
Plumbing has been in my family for generations. I possess over 30 years of plumbing experience, including 20 years specializing in underground trenchless, CIPP, and pipe coating. I handle sewer, water, gas, air ducting, culverts, and more.
I hold all my service technicians to high standards of quality service, ensuring they align with our company’s core values. Service and honesty to our customers are why the A-1 team enjoys an 85% customer retention rate.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Alex and Vaugh are THE BEST! I had a leak in my kitchen ceiling after all the heavy rain and couldn't get a clear idea of whether it was a roofing or plumbing issue or both. I've called around a dozen companies, roofers, plumbers, full service providers, and had other technicians come out. But what really stood out and ultimately made me go with A-1 is Alex and Vaugh. The level of integrity Alex has is the kind of integrity you wish every trade person and service provider has. Vaugh may be an apprentice, but is so dedicated to his craft and these two make a dynamic duo. They were able to come out, listen to all of my concerns, and were incredibly patient and understanding with my situation. Alex really looks out for his clients, is fair and honest, and does his best to advocate for you in the limitations of working under a corporation.
The company charges a $175 inspection fee to cut into the ceiling and these guys were able to find the source-- a cracked pipe that was also improperly built, and also were able to educate me on what was happening, why the leak had happened, how to fix it, and also gave me a warranty on their work. This is what I mean when I talk about building trust and having integrity!
Ultimately, I had to wait to proceed with their services due to home warranty insurance, and their policies. But for sure if any plumbing work needs to come out of pocket or if I'm able to select my own plumber to do the repairs covered by insurance, Alex will be my first choice.

I really appreciated them
very much they were dependable and the price was right.
Initially it was going to be more than twice of what it paid.

Returning customer of many years. We had clogged bathrooms, kitchen sink, and laundry line. Alex and his partner Vaughn identified a cracked pipe and a main line clog. They resolved the issues timely and with quality materials. They went above and beyond and cleaned up any standing water. They were both professional and took the time to troubleshoot. Alex explained proper maintenance and ensured we had warranty on the services provided, giving us great peace of mind! Very happy family.

Alex is the man! Been helping out my company with multiple repairs so we can keep marching ahead. Fast and efficient.

Jose Vasquez from A-1 Total service Plumbing responded to my mother's house to fix various items at her house. Jose was friendly and professional. He was kind and patient with my mother who spoke very little English. He replaced the parts and showed my mother how to operate the shower and faucet before leaving the house. I highly recommend this company for anyone who is in need for plumbing service because they have fast respond time and they provide professional service.

Alex and his partner tried multiple things until the problem was solved. They kindly explained what they were doing and I am so happy that they fixed the issue.

Responsive, courteous, fair pricing. I had a small job that needed immediate attention. Very grateful to Alex and Vaughn for helping get the job done.

Called this company and they came very quickly. Alex and Vahn were really cool and easy to talk to. They were really good problem solving and used a lot of effort to figure out my plumbing issues. I definitely recommend and trust this company and these set of plumbers!

Alexis and Vahn were so helpful evaluating my toilet replacement job so I know how to proceed. Thank you A1 for hiring competent, professional staff!

Alexis Torres was great. He was on time, very professional, and did a great job today!
