Recommended Customer Reviews

Cal-tech plumbing did such a great job completely remodeling my bathroom, it's so beautiful... I can't wait to get up and shower every day! Travis was our lead contractor and he really knows what he's doing, from start to finish.
Travis was willing to work within our budget and always kept us updated with revised estimates, when products arrived, & sent photos as things were completed along the way, since we were living elsewhere. He helped us pick the correct finishes and fixtures and always keeping in mind the pros and cons with each choice we had to make, and that was such a help. They were extremely thorough about protecting the floors and all other mirrored finishes that are often times overlooked. Also, when things with our electrical were not as expected, delaying everything a few days, he was willing to keep working through that as well and provide us with a skilled and trusted electrician to fix the problem immediately. His carpentry skills were impeccable and his crew was awesome. Tavis was always extremely professional, yet personable, thorough, fair, and reliable.
All in all I would say I would feel confident about recommending him to any friends or family that wanted a beautiful remodel. We are also hopefully going to use Travis to do our kitchen next!

I recently had a gas line installed by Cal-Tech Plumbing. Travis came out and completed the free estimate beforehand, and was very thorough with measurements (even crawled into the attic on a scorching hot day!) and sent me a detailed estimate. Their pricing was about half what other less professional companies were offering and their work is all guaranteed. They were flexible with my work schedule and found a date to come out ASAP to complete the work.
Travis arrived right on time, and he and John finished the project quickly. They even found and repaired a big gas leak on my water heater valve (yikes!). They also made sure to bring everything to code by strapping down the gas lines and installing an earthquake safety shut-off on our gas meter. Travis was super patient with me, as I had a million questions to ask. He took extra time to explain to me how everything worked, and even showed me how to light the pilots on my water heater and furnace.
I would highly recommend Cal-Tech Plumbing, and will definitely be calling them if I ever have future plumbing needs. They are thorough, safety-conscious, highly professional, and affordable. You can tell that Travis takes great pride in his work and does not cut any corners. Thanks Travis!

Top notch plumbing firm with solid expertise that focuses on what is right for the customer. Travis brings a level of customer service that far exceeds any plumbing service provider I have experienced - he was very responsive, thorough and priced right for the very high level of quality he brings to every job! I highly recommend checking with Travis on major and minor plumbing projects - he will guide you through options, answer questions in detail and provide the wisdom of an industry professional who gives you the details and facts beyond product literature you need as consumer - there is a reason all of his ratings are 5 stars!

Pricing was reasonable. Kept my white carpets clean. Courteous. Professional. Responsive. Very competent and skilled. I'd recommend them to anyone.
I had 3 toilets installed by Cal-Tech plumbing in November 2012. Travis and his assistant did a great job: removing the old toilets with no mess; installed the new toilets better than how the orig. builder installed the old toilets; replaced all angle stops from the kind that you have to keep turning, to the kind that turns 1/4 turn to turn on/off. All parts provided by them were very good quality parts - the kind I'd buy as a homeowner if I did the job myself. They understand most homeowners don't want to trade a few dollars here for headaches and many more dollars down the road.
For the toilets, they installed extra wax seals in the 2nd floor bathrooms to make sure everything was tight and didn't leak below. They also anchored some anchor bolts that the original builder neglected.
They also provided complementary assessment of all internal and external plumbing fixtures, etc. Helped ID some loose drain pipes and tightened on the spot. I originally asked them to help me plan out a new water heater, either tankless, or tank, high efficiency, etc. Travis provided detailed guidance and promptly sent follow up materials, etc. He was honest to provide feedback that I didn't need a new water heater, and just needed to flush out the one I had.

If you have a gas leak in your house, do not call anyone else. Don't waste your precious time or money. Call Cal-Tech Plumbing directly. Travis and his associate took care of the gas leak which was under the concrete in my garage, from trouble shooting to city inspection, to my complete satisfaction. My old house has been remodeled over the years and therefore it is not of a standard construction. As such, unforeseen problems cropped up during repair. Travis overcame them all and did not give me a change of order - did not charge me extra for the additional labor and material. Honest, dependable, and knowledgeable, you can't go wrong with Cal-Tech.

These guys are the best.. They are professional, nice and clean up after themselves. I had two complicated jobs. The first to relocate my washer and dryer needing gas line, hot and cold water lines, and exhaust lines and plumbing.. they did an excellent job... I also needed hot/cold water lines, sewer connect for installation of a shower in my half bath, and they went above and beyond the call of duty.
They were pleasant company when they were working, they came on time, they communicated everything. Their proposal was exactly what they said it would be.
Quality, expertise, professionalism.. communication.. all the things you look for in these types of jobs..

Hands down the best plumbing company you will find. Knowledgeable and professional. Travis and his crew did extensive plumbing as part of our remodel and I can't say enough positive things about them. I recommend them to anyone I know that needs a plumber!

Travis came over on Saturday to install my faucet, air gap, and garbage disposal after a kitchen remodel. He was courteous, fast, and provided really helpful tips. I highly recommend Cal-Tech Plumbing.
Without asking him to, Travis even took off his shoes before entering my condo. Incredibly professional and very knowledgeable about his trade. If you want it done right, then contact these guys.

Two thumbs (and even our big toes) way way up! If you've got problems with your plumbing, CAL-TECH is who you need to be calling.
Our problem started in our master bedroom, when we noticed that our carpets felt slightly damp. My husband looked around and found a possible leak. We Yelped plumbers in our area and noticed the rave reviews on this company. We called Cal-Tech and spoke with Travis. He came the same day (it was the evening, too). Our first impressions of him was that he was completely and totally professional. He checked out the problem spots and discovered that our problem was larger than we anticipated. He gave us options as far as what services to go with (including other companies that he knows has good reputations that we needed to use as well) and gave us some time, without any pressure to decide. Travis was very patient with us, as we weren't able to get back to him right away. He checked up on us to see where we were in the decision making process and my husband and I finally had decided on what to do.
On the day that he and his partner worked on our house, they were extremely thorough. The job done on our pipes behind the master bath sink, to fixing some minor issues with our master bath, to cleaning up (our stair case was actually cleaner after they left lol). Just amazing work. This guy is BEAST - let me tell you! I don't think he took any breaks! I had put out pizza, chips, and cookies. I think he only drank the water.
The next day, one of the people Travis knows came by to repair the dry wall that was taken out as a result of the work he did. He also had to ""re-popcorn"" some other parts of our ceiling (not part of Travis' work). And even though Travis' part was done, he STILL came over to go over the quality of this guy's work! He walked us through each section and explained what happened in each area.
Overall, we were VERY IMPRESSED with the high level of service, professionalism, and thoroughness of his work. We would definitely recommend Cal-Tech for your plumbing needs!

Couldnt have asked for better service. Was having some issues with a recently redone bathroom. Called up Cal-Tech he was able to come quick and had the issue fixed extreamly fast, i could not believe how profesional he was. Normally these type of jobs require people i dont enjoy allowing in my home, with Cal-Tech that worry was gone as soon as he pulled up. My family will only use Cal-Tech from now on.
