Abraham Kent launched his career by securing his Plumbing Contractor's license in 1961. In 1963, he closed the hardware portion of his business to concentrate entirely on plumbing repair and remodel services. In June 1976, Mr. Kent's son Michael took over the business.

Focusing on plumbing, Cabrillo grew consistently throughout the years. In September 1990, Cabrillo merged with Meehan Plumbing, led by Jeff Meehan. In 1994, Cabrillo Plumbing and Heating became a member of Nexstar, Inc., a forward-thinking plumbing and heating organization. In 1996, the Nexstar group recognized Cabrillo as Company of the Year for attaining the number one position in customer service nationwide.

Cabrillo is our go to plumber. Has been keeping our house in shape for over a decade, from pressure regulator, to electronic furnace filters, to retrofitting gas fireplaces, to ordinary faucet repairs. Responsive, reliable, and professional, every time. I wish every company was run like Cabrillo.

We had a sluggish kitchen sink that Todd took care of promptly and expertly. He was on time, cordial and efficient. He cleaned up the work area thoroughly. We're also planning to replace two toilets. Todd took measurements and checked in with the office to see if the model we were interested was available. We'll definitely use Cabrillo (and hopefully Todd) for installation.

Frank, Eric and Javier recently replaced our hot water heater. They were professional, friendly and cleaned up the area nicely afterwards. A month later we had a leak next to dishwasher under the sink. Called in the morning and that afternoon Robert came out to fix the problem by replacing the old garbage disposal and air valve. He too was professional, friendly and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. Also did the annual heating maintanence and helped me better understand the heating system in my house. I'd definitely recommend Cabrillo. They are expensive but feel timing, product and quality of service is worth it.

Our main sewer drain suddenly slowed dramatically on Sunday evening. Called Cabrillo, reached Sal, they showed up at 8:00am Monday morning. The job was ambiguous, in a 125-year-old Victorian, and required a lot of work and testing, but the tech (Todd B) was resourceful and determined, and he got the job accomplished. We've called on Cabrillo for many years, and have always appreciated their excellent and knowledgeable service. They are reasonable in price while observing very high standards of professionalism, being very easy to work with, and being considerate of customers' premises. Would highly recommend Cabrillo and Todd.

Our 20+ year old furnace started making a disturbing noise. I called a number of HVAC contractors and got no response. Called Cabrillo and they called me right away and scheduled an appointment to diagnose the problem. Frank and Matt came out and checked out the situation, followed up with a quote for the work and a repair time was scheduled when the necessary replacement parts were available. Cabrillo followed up with text and email appointment reminders. Frank and Matt came back and did the work in a fast, professional, respectful and friendly manner. They took the time to explain the repair, they always wore masks and were obviously knowledgeable about what they do. I would use them again for sure!

Our water heater stopped working and Cabrillo got Brian out the same day. We needed a replacement, the quotation was clear and Erick and Todd installed the new water heater, were on time, friendly and efficient and left everything spotless. Definitely will call Cabrillo for all plumbing needs in the future.

We needed a new water heater and these guys did a great job installing and making sure everything beyond that was addressed.

After the initial appointment (very easy to make) they gave us advance notice of their arrival time and showed up on time - so important and respectful! The work was done thoroughly, efficiently and with care.

Brian started the job but was called away for an emergency; Todd and Erick did bulk of installation and did it neatly and cleanly. They ensured the work was done to code, making sure everything was tidy and secure. The result was not only a safe installation but it also looked great.

Cabrillo is who we call again and again knowing they will respect our time and do work that is above and beyond.

We have used their services for plumbing and heating and are very satisfied with the work performed. The employees are punctual, knowledgeable and work efficiently. We have never been disappointed with the work.

Dave and Hugo did a terrific job installing by tankless water heater. We are very happy with the excellent work and care they took with the house while doing the instillation. Very professional, efficient and dependable. Dave also came out to diagnose and fix a leaky faucet. First rate company and service.

I had a major plumbing job done at my large Edwardian home in Cole Valley, in which I had received varying estimates and plans from other companies but not the assurance that they knew what the problem was. Cabrillo was very professional, knowledgeable and communicable. It was easy to reach someone with my questions when the five day project was ongoing. Sal, at the Cabrillo dispatch center, was always there and knew the relevant issues, and Brian and Erik worked on the project on-site and took the time to explain everything to me. The only glitch was that the City of SF had come to inspect the Cabrillo work, which passed, but the City of SF then thought that they had also inspected our pipe from the curb to the sewer line under the street, which they hadn't. That took a few months to work out, and was nerve-wracking to wait as I had spent all of this money on our part of the pipes (the pipes from the house to the sewer line at the curb were clay and full of roots and broken pieces of clay and all had to be replaced with cast iron) and I was just hoping it the sewer would not back up due to the obstructed line that the City was responsible for during that waiting period for the City to fix their part. Finally, it all worked out! Although Cabrillo prices are often higher than other plumbing companies, for major jobs, I would not rely on anyone else: this was the second major job they have done on our house, and each time their work was outstanding and long-lasting!
