Need assistance? Don’t hesitate to call us! I was born in Lima, Peru. The lack of opportunities and financial strain, like for many others, brought me to California on December 27, 1999.

Thanks to my family’s support, I was able to learn English at the UC Davis Extension Center. After that, I pursued web design.

I made a shift to the plumbing industry in 2001. In 2007, I became a member of the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. In the subsequent year, I was appointed as an ambassador for the SACHCC. This role not only allowed me to connect with other business owners but also enabled me to give back to my community.

I was a mentor for at-risk kids at Hiram Johnson High School and participated in various community meetings as a SACHCC representative. I learned that good communication is vital for being a successful business owner.

My interests include watching films, indulging in BBQ, and following soccer matches. My hobbies include water and energy efficiency, salsa dancing, and dreaming of building a resort in Peru to host all my friends from California!

He wanted to charge me $350 to replace a bathroom sink faucet. I did it myself instead. Took about 20 minutes.

I would absolutely recommend Antonio to anyone and everyone! As a real estate agent I have worked with Antonio for years and am always confident in his honest, reliable and top notch service. I know he will take great care of our clients and don't hesitate referring him to anyone needing an estimate, repair or even second opinion. You won't be disappointed!

Came out to a home we just purchased and replaced both the cold and hot water valves for our washing machine. Very fair and professional

I've utilized the Pocket Plunger on a couple of occasions. Each time he has done an excellent job. His prices are reasonable and he is prompt. I will use him for any future plumbing work.

I hired Antonio because of all the great reviews. Maybe I just got him at a bad time, but he didn't seem to want to do the work. This was a simple snake out of a stoppage in the sewer line. I have used Happy Rooter in the past and they've done a great job at very reasonable prices but I decided to try someone else this time. Antonio's price of $49 was way below the only other price I got of $185 for this job so this made me happy and cautious. He came out, looked at the location of the pipe and told me it was the City's responsibility. I explained that even though I live in the City, the County deals with the sewer and that I had called them first, they had come out and told me it was on my side of the fence so it was my responsibility. I knew this from prior experiences, but always call them first in case the problem is on their side. I explained this but Antonio did not believe me, he was so sure it had to be their problem and was worried about getting in trouble for fixing something he shouldn't have. He called the County and left (asking me for gas money), they sent someone out who verified what the first guy had said so I called Antonio and told him I would like him to come fix it. When he came the next day he still was not convinced he should be doing it. He snaked it out but said there is still something blocking the line and I will have to get it fixed, did not offer to do that and again, didn't seem interested in doing the work at all. I paid him the $49 just happy to have the situation eased at least, but I will not use him again. On a side note, I think the way any repairman treats his tools says a lot about him. When he got here Antonio's extension cord was so knotted up it took both of us to make is usable.

Wonderful service at a very reasonable price. Had a backup sink called on Monday morning they agreed to be at our house around 1 PM showed up right on time saw the problem and had it taken care of right away.

If you're looking for an honest quality plumber with reasonable price you can not find better choice.

I reached out to Antonio when I needed my valves/shower handles replaced. He was able to come out the same day to see the job in person and I really appreciated his honesty. I had a older home and he explained all the risks associated with the job and made sure I understood and felt comfortable before proceeding.

He did a fantastic job and even found a leak under my bathtub that I was not aware of. He educated me on the problem and I was able to fix it myself with his clear directions. I highly recommend Antonio, it is rare to fine a honest and affordable plumber these days.
