Company Overview

Since 1960, we've been serving the plumbing needs of our community. Currently, we focus on Tankless Water Heater systems because this system, which has a long history in Europe and Asia, offers significant savings for our customers along with high energy efficiency and excellent water conservation.

Delivering outstanding service to both new and loyal clients is our primary goal with integrity and honor, because we believe this dedication will keep us serving San Diego for another 50 years!

The business was started by my dad in 1960, and I was raised in this environment. When it was time for him to step back, the transition was effortless, having worked with him for three decades. We have become the go-to plumber for many long-time clients and friends. Our business thrives on personal referrals and the trust of our customers. We, in turn, always deliver service marked by integrity and honesty, and the trust we’ve cultivated stands as our greatest asset.

My upbringing in this business alongside my dad has ignited my passion. I am dedicated to running our family business as it has been for the past 50 years. I reside in the area we primarily serve, Normal Heights/Kensington. As a specialist in tankless water heater systems, I understand that many people throughout San Diego will need a trustworthy and experienced plumber. Having trained for 30 years alongside my dad, I am ready to uphold this legacy for many more years.

Dave just completed a big job for us and his work was impeccable. After 7:00 PM we noticed our water heater was leaking. He picked up the phone after his posted business hours and rearranged his schedule so that he could squeeze us in first thing the next morning. He spent time investigating the problem and explained possible solutions. We decided to install a tankless water heater and are so happy with Dave's excellent work. He is an honest plumber with more than 30 years experience. He is reliable, punctual and fair. His prices are WELL below the advertised plumbers we see on TV. Dave has a great personality and sense of humor which was an added bonus.

Dave was fantastic! He was prompt (responded in 15min), predictable (flat rate), clean (prides himself in being the cleanest plumber), and very courteous.
Not only was Dave a straight shooter, but he was pleasant to talk to and took the time to answer my questions and explain things to me. He will be first on my list when I have another plumbing issue or need to replace my water heater.

We've had Dave twice to fix issues with both bathroom at our Georgia place. His quality of work was top notch and he worked through the issues with our old equipment steadily. He was polite and talkative. Would recommend immediately.

Called Dave on the recommendation of a neighbor and he was able to come by the next day to look at a problem we were having with the kitchen faucet as well as one with the bathroom toilet. He was able to fix both on the spot. Pricing is about what you'd expect, so I can't say it was super cheap or too expensive, but I suppose you get what you pay for most of the time. I'd recommend him to others and will call him for future plumbing needs.

Dave was amazing on all the important points: responsive, prompt, professional, more than fair in pricing, and got the job done (the job being a clogged kitchen sink drain that he diagnosed very efficiently and snaked out very quickly). The only reason I didn't give him 5 stars was due to something he can fix (and if he does, I'll edit this to give him 5 stars). I'm Asian and don't wear shoes in the house. I don't expect people I hire who come into my house to fix things to take off their shoes, but I've hired other plumbers who bring disposable booties. Would save me a lot of time and trouble cleaning the kitchen floor after Dave had left if he had invested in some booties. Anyway, if someone else posts a comment saying he did, I'll change my rating to 5 stars - he certainly deserved it in every other respect!!

Dave is the man! I had almost completed an installation of an under sink water filter, and asked for his help. He gave me some needed pointers, and was on his way. He knew I was close, and was going to be able to finish the job myself, so he didn't charge me. He also completed a flush out of my main line about a year ago when it got clogged with some branches, and it was super reasonable in terms of price. Would definitely recommend!

Wow. I wish all service people were as honest and direct as Dave Shelton of Shelton Plumbing is. I called him about a stuck bathroom faucet, and instead of immediately coming out (and charging me a service call), he asked that I take a photo of the faucet and text it to him. He was able to tell me that the parts needed would be replaced for free by the manufacturer, and to call and have them send the new parts before he came over.

Once the parts arrived, he showed up promptly and fixed what turned out to be a nasty mess inside the faucet parts. He only charged me for the service call, performed the work well, cleaned the space afterwards, and was extremely friendly. He's someone who takes his work seriously, comes from a place of honesty, and is now my go-to guy for plumbing from now on.

Excellent plumbing company, reasonable, on time, super friendly, and overall great service. Needed to have a replacement kit installed on my water heater. Called Shelton and within an hour (or less) Dave returned my call. He not only picked up the replacement part but installed it later that day! Dave is amazing and I would use Shelton Plumbing again in a millisecond. Thank you Dave!

Dave when above and beyond for me. Honest- Told me what needed to be done and what it would cost. Friendly- I had a really nice time chatting with Dave while he was working. I will definitely recommend Shelton Plumbing. It's nice to now have a plumber I can trust.
Thanks Dave!
