My journey started my studies at San Francisco City College in the welding field, but as I was getting too deep, I changed to plumbing and HVAC. The fumes from welding didn’t seem like a healthy long-term option, and I grasped the concepts of plumbing and heating much quicker.
My aspiration was to become my own owner and manage my own company while servicing my local area and beyond.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Rey is a honest HVAC mechanic. I've recommend him to many Friends over the last 12 years. All I've received back are rave reviews. His experience and attention to detail is what sets him apart from the other mechanics I know. If you need it fixed day or night rain our shine he's your man!

Beware of expensive follow up repairs. We were happy with the pricing and installation of our heating system to our home however we needed it checked out after a couple of years as the air was no longer heating, Rey came out and took a look and told us certain parts needed to be replaced and told us it would cost $1,000.00 to do the repairs. I was skeptical so I go a second opinion...we had it fixed for $30.00 by another professional heating company. No parts needed repair.

Ray is the best. On time, efficient, reasonably priced, friendly, and very competent.

Hands down, the Bay Area's best plumber.
So, when you need a plumber you call them and they come and fix your problem, at least a good one does. Rey does that, all at a very reasonable price. He has saved us many times on the weekends (old house) and he also did our trenchless sewer line replacement when it exploded. So, in the plumbing department he's five stars.
But what I really love about Rey so much is him. I honestly feel like he's become a friend. He's such a sweet guy, very considerate, very clean. And what a character! He was an Olympic boxer! Ask him about his enthusiasm for ACDC! Totally cool, and totally recommended.

I've known Rey for many years. He tiled my bathroom and installed a new toilet. I am still getting compliments on that job.
Recently, I asked him to replace the sewer pipe in my basement - big job, but he and his crew did it quickly and cleanly with no real disruption to me. He also gave me hot and cold water for my washing machine, which I had never had, and hadn't thought of - all for the same price. Plus, he rerouted the gas line for my stove!
Rey Lacayo and Amy Colt are great people and have a wonderful family. He has a SF number and doesn't mind coming to SF.
Get his Estimate!

Rey is fantastic. When we needed urgent service he responded promptly, efficiently and did superb work for a price that made other estimates seem absurd. Indeed, our experience with Rey at every level was superior to any we've ever had with other plumbers - or the experiences we've heard from others who weren't as fortunate to have called Lacayo Colt Plumbing first.

We've been calling Lacayo Colt Plumbing for years now. Rey is the most honest, dependable and skilled plumber we've found after almost 20 years of home ownership. They've replaced outdoor and indoor water lines for us and kept the drains in our older home running smoothly. Rey's estimates are always very reasonable and the workmanship is excellent. Highly recommended - you won't be sorry you called Lacayo Colt for your next plumbing problem.

I highly recommend Lacayo-Colt Plumbing. My husband and I have been in the process of renovating our home and these guys have done all of our plumbing and gas lines.
They are well priced and always show up when they say they will. The work is perfect and the owner is is a super cool guy, very personable.

Great guy! Rey lecayo is honest and through. He will not sweet talk you but you can bet he will do a good job. I have used him 4 times. Two jobs were complicated. He stayed until the job was done perfectly and the price was fair.

Rey helped us unclog a drain pipe that had created a minor disaster in our basement. He came out on a Sunday morning, and the service was prompt, professional and effective. It doesn't hurt that his rates are priced at a great value, and that he was friendly too!
