John Nelson, a master plumber and co-founder of John the Plumber with his wife Sarah, began his plumbing career in the early days at the family-owned Nelson's Plumbing. In 2000, he established his own business, Cal City Plumbing. In 2012, they changed the name to John the Plumber to better represent his wider reach. Same trusted plumbing, same outstanding service, just a different name.

Now, John has expanded from a one-man operation to a team of four full-time plumbers and apprentices and serves a larger area than ever before.

John ran his business solo until he met the woman who would become his wife. Sarah, with her skills in marketing and customer service, was thrilled to join him in growing the business. In 2011, John the Plumber was recognized as Small Business of the Year in California City and in 2017, it achieved the same recognition in Tehachapi. Sarah manages the behind-the-scenes operations, including HR and marketing while John leads the charge, leveraging his plumbing knowledge and enthusiasm to help many clients every month.

John the Plumber has taken care of our plumbing needs for years. He always has great prices. He recently installed some risers for us so we no longer need to dig out the septic tank. Couldn't be happier with the job.

Today we had a water pressure regulator installed by ""Mike"" from John The Plumber in Tehachapi. We are very happy with the prompt arrival time, knowledge of the employee, satisfaction of a complete and well done job and Mike's patience with all our questions. We will definitely always use this company for all our plumbing needs. We were billed via email and promptly paid the bill in full. A win win for everyone!

We needed to have a leaking propane line replaced and also had some other plumbing work. John the Plumber's crew answered our call right away and scheduled us soon thereafter.

When the guys came out, they were efficient, neat, and you could tell they really knew their stuff.

If we have any future plumbing concerns, we would definitely call them again.

If you're looking for a water heater I highly recommend this business. Fast, great customer service, couldn't be happier with this company and the folks who operate within it.

John is the real deal. He came out to replace what we thought would be our entire pump grinder, and found that we only needed a part replaced rather than the whole pump. Other companies were quoating $5k-$50k, and John was able to repair everything we needed for under $300. An honest, reliable plumber that we will be using for any/all of plumbing needs we have in the future! Thank you John!

John Nelson and his staff have been reliable and easy to work with... always. We had them out last week to replace a garbage disposal in our guest house and again this morning to replace the main water valve in our house. Both jobs were completed in excellent fashion and the techs we had on-site were both courteous and professional. Thanks for the great work!

John the plumber took a job they couldn't do. I am trying to sell my house and needed my septic inspected. They came without letting us know, we were out of town and they started digging up our front yard. They left a pile of dirt with boards on it and said someone will come by soon to do the inspection and pump the tank. My yard has looked horrible and we have been showing the home to potential buyers they kept telling me that they outsource their pumping it's ""not their fault""then don't take the job if you can't finish the job.This should have been a one day job it has turned into a month long ordeal. I will not use them again for any of my plumbing needs!!!! And hopefully I won't have to!!!

John and his crew are great to work with. They came out when a water main was leaking and worked with me to fit me in their already tight schedule. They were responsive, fast and honest. Use them often and highly recommend. Thanks John the plumber for top notch service.
