In 1992, I relocated to Southern California, departing from my role as a grocery store manager. I began my career as a lot attendant at a Home Depot in Escondido, where I was hired in the parking lot for my first plumbing position, which offered $0.25 more per hour. I started as a laborer with a major commercial plumbing firm specializing in new construction. I attended night classes and applied my management skills to the plumbing field, quickly advancing to foreman, then project manager, and ultimately becoming a licensed plumbing contractor. I gained experience with several plumbing companies, working in commercial, custom home, and residential service and repair sectors. When the economy took a downturn and I was laid off, I reached out to my contacts and began plumbing for custom home projects in 2002. Today, Marklein Plumbing specializes in residential new construction, remodels, and a highly skilled service, repair, and drain cleaning operation.

Recommended Customer Reviews
During a new refrigerator install, the installers told me I needed the water valve replaced before my new refrigerator could be installed. Craig was available to respond to my home within 20 minutes and made the repair very quickly. Craig did a great job and was reasonably priced. This was on a Saturday afternoon, too. I will definitely use Marklein Plumbing again in the future.
Craig was very professional, knowledgeable, and well priced. I will give them a call for anything plumbing related!
Troy M.Best plumbing company I've ever used. Fast, and always do it right the first time. Price is never shocking. I'd stand in a muddy hole again with Craig any day. Thanks again.
We have used Marklein twice for a variety of services. They responded quickly and did the job in a courteous and professional manner. I don't think I would use any other plumbing service.
I have had Marklein to my house twice. Once to clear a clogged drain and once to install a retrofit toilet ring. Each time the Craig was on time, courteous, fast and did a thorough job. Their prices are very reasonable. I cannot think of any way their service could have been better. They will be the only plumbing contractor I contact in the future.
hanadi h.Amazing and fast. I was very impressed by Craig. He is very knowledgeable at his craft and reasonable with his prices! I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing reliable and fast service and repair!
Had a main line blockage and Craig was reasonably priced, friendly and very helpful. Definitely will call him again.
Wow is all I can say. After suffering through the 4th of July weekend without water due to a leak somewhere in my bathroom/laundryroom wall, and after visits from 2 other plumbing companies, Craig showed up early on Tuesday morning just as he said he would. He got right down to business, located and repaired the leak. He was knowledgeable, pleasant and obviously skilled at his trade. He had the pipe repaired within 2 hours with a minimum of drywall intervention and left the room just as he found it, sans the leak! I am relieved that when/if I ever need a plumber again I know just who to call. He quoted some water heater work and we will call him when we are ready to do the work. I cannot praise him enough. Thank you Craig! You saved the day!
Mark H.I have tried to get a plumber out to the house to install a gas line for my BBQ for the past 3 months. I had made numerous calls to other plumbers without call-backs or a response of any kind. I was frustrated. Last week I called Craig from Marklein Plumbing. He was out the next day to assess/quote the job and on the next working day had the job done! Thanks Craig for being so responsive and doing a great job. I recommend Marklein Plumbing for your household plumbing needs.
I can't say enough good things about my experience with Craig!
First, as another writer mentions, he answers his phone, or someone from his answering service does. What company does that anymore?! It's wonderful.
Second, he arrived at the time he promised. Punctual, relieable? Yes indeed.
Third, he performed a number of indoor and outdoor plumbing jobs for me. He works quickly and efficiently and his work is terrific.
Fourth, and this is the part where he went above and beyond: He replaced a pressure regulator for my irrigation system. Once installed, the pressure readings for my system were not consistent. He spent quite a bit of extra time trying to resolve the issue. He even came a 2nd time and replaced the new pressure regulator with another one, no questions asked, on the very slim possibility that the 1st regulator was faulty. Turns out, there's a problem with my system. Craig could have walked away and left the problem for me. But he did everything in his power to fix the problem.
Many thanks Craig!
