Have used this company three times, as well as joining their CAP program (provides a discount and some free services, such as the usual furnace check, other inspections to make sure your appliances and systems are working well and find new work they can charge you for doing). Work has been top-notch in every case, and the free inspection found nothing work fixing in the furnace (probably will need a new one soon) and drained the water heater.
Today we had a bathroom sink which did not drain at all. Usually I pull the stopper, fish out the hairs and gunk, run some hot water, and all flows again. This time I had gotten all the accessible pipes off and clean, and there was still no flow. My snake went in, turned to the wall, and then could not make the next turn. David took about 1-1/2 hours running his snake down to the blockage, clearing it, and reassembling all the pipes I had taken apart. Area was as clean as I had left it. Charge was $277 (with the CAP and senior discount I paid $227), which seems very reasonable for plumbing these days.
Most plumbing calls are at least semi-emergencies. Cabrillo have come either same day or next day after we call.

I've used Cabrillo on several occasions to repair plumbing issues in my home. They are always available, on time and professional. They've done good work, make sure I'm taking advantage of any discounting, and have always offered additional help gratis. They're my go to guys.

terrible experience with these people, expensive, would have given a no star if possible (agree most of the other bad reviews)
11-2-09 just have heard from a co-worker today the same story ... really terrible business in her opinion and mine

We had a very unpleasant and definitely bad experience with this company. I read the reviews already posted and agree with the ones that state they are very expensive, not completely up front with anything, and bordering on con artists. We have a fairly new home that was recently remodeled. Out water heater went out, and this company was contacted one a friend's recommendation. I had also seen alot of print advertisements. We were charged also for the privilege of having them come and give an estimate for a replacement. Trying to discuss this issue with the dispatcher was impossible. Pay or we do not come. He repeatedly stated that everyone does it. The estimate came in at over $2245.00 for a water heater - only the water heater - that we replaced later that day for $875.00 - all costs included. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE!

After experiencing difficulties with another SF plumbing company, a friend referred me to Cabrillo. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and courteous (especially appreciated that he used boot covers while walking through my house). They may not be the cheapest, but their plumber was able to address the drain problem that the other company could not. I would definitely recommend them.

The guy who came out from Cabrillo was wearing a white suit that looked like he was delivering milk. At the front door he put on some pink booties and walked through the house like it was Chernobyl. After a long-winded speech about liability insurance and a written estimate of $600, I declined his work offer and told him I was looking for a no-frills plumber to simply fix the pipe. I had to give him $30 for the estimate that took him 20 minutes to write. I got a name from a neighbor and Steve Murillo from Murillo Plumbing came right out and had the pipe fixed in no time for a total of $140. I saved over $450! Those fancy vans, uniforms and booties have nothing to do with plumbing knowledge or experience. Steve from Murillo also had a great personality.

Although this happened a few years ago, it still makes me mad when I see their trucks. I scheduled a time for them to install a laundry sink.
I took time off from work and at the end of the time window I get a call saying that they couldn't make it. Same thing happens a week later.

Their prices are extorsion. They wanted $750 to replace a garbage disposal -- and I bought the unit so it was $750 just to install it!

I sent them packing and they gave me a coupon for a free box of See's Candy -- I guess hoping I wouldn't post this review. I later found a plumber who did the job for $150.

Caveat emptor!

Wow, I am super surprised by the low ratings.

I've always found Cabrillo to be professional, honest, on time and always stand by their work.
