Abraham Kent opened a modest hardware shop called Cabrillo Hardware and Plumbing Supplies in 1957. By 1959, needing more space, Cabrillo relocated to the Sunset District.
Mr. Kent envisioned a new direction for the business. Mr. Kent secured his Plumbing Contractor's license in 1961. By 1963, he phased out the hardware side of his business, focusing entirely on plumbing repair and remodeling. In June 1976, Mr. Kent's son Michael took over the business.
Cabrillo grew consistently over the years with plumbing as its main focus. Cabrillo decided to merge with Meehan Plumbing, run by Jeff Meehan, in September 1990.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Cabrillo did an excellent job replacing the old plumbing in our old house -- the work was on time, well planned, and careful. Many thanks to Robert and Fernando for their great work, and to Sal and Gessa for taking care of the paper work and scheduling.
Cabrillo has been our go-to plumber for over 5 years now. Why?
1. They always arrive on time and put on the clean room booties
2. Their technicians are very well qualified, courteous and do great work
3. They use quality materials and care about their customers: they are not looking to nickle and dime you, or do crap work (pardon the pun)
4. Sal - who often answers the phone - is great. Exceptional service and a nice human touch!
Cabrillo has been my plumbers for years. The entire staff from Sal, Candace and the technicians are professionals that do their best to solve your plumbing problem. Dave once called a vendor in Germany to try and find a replacement part for my shower. He goes above and beyond and also has great travel tips. I highly recommend Cabrillo and the entire team for your plumbing job.
While Cabrillo may be a bit pricey, they are worth every penny! I've used a few different plumbing companies in the past but returned to Cabrillo a few years ago because they always do the job right the first time, their office staff are helpful and have a sense of urgency that matches mine and their plumbers are the most knowledgeable that I've worked with. Recently, we had Randy M. Come out and unclog our kitchen sink. He diagnosed the issue, hung in there when the clog turned out to be more stubborn than we thought, did a quality control check to make sure downstream plumbing was still working fine and left his work area cleaner than when he arrived! All that AND my very fussy dog liked him too. Thank you Randy!
Absolutely outstanding! From scheduling to completion, professional all around. Our technician, Robert, was amazing - technically adept, personable, and able to put things in 'normal lingo' for the non-heating professional. THEN, after doing the heating maintenance and installing a new thermostat, I mentioned to Robert about a toilet issue (something with not refilling all the time) and he told the problem and when I asked if he could fix it this visit he said ""Of course"".
And I loved the bio that Cabrillo sends out about the person who is going to show up. They are quirky and fun snippets about the person who is going to show up - ""Robert backpacked Costa Rica for 3 weeks and he is still with us!"" (maybe not exactly the wording but close).
A la Spinal Tap, we give Robert 11/10.
Spoke with Sal and he was so helpful and flexible in attending to my needs when it came to a garbage disposal replacement and faucet replacement. They charge by the job and not by the hour. Overall, the customer service is excellent and they will do their best to get the work done. Thanks!
Called Cabrillo Plumbing concerning descaling my tankless water heater. Matthew was the young man that was sent to do this procedure. He did a flawless job of descaling my tankless water heater. He was extremely polite and answered all my questions concerning the descaling. The area was left the way it was found. Neat and tidy. So I highly recommend Matthew for any of your plumbing problems.
TONY T.i highly recommend cabrillo plumbing, dave the technician was very positive in his recommendation of the situation, i have been using their services for years, top notch company.
Frank came out to repair an old furnace that is antiquated. What appeared to be an impossible fix was resolved due to his efforts in digging deep for parts and a creative solution and it is up and running again!
Cabrillo Plumbing and heating did a first class job installing our new
furnace. They were professional, friendly, and conscientious. We would like to acknowledge Frank, Erick,Javier, and Fernando. The Cabrillo office staff was very helpful, also. thank you. M.S.
