In 1911, Andy Thorsen Sr. started with just a toolbox and a dream.

By 1916, he moved to Lander Ave, hanging his iconic ""Andy Thorsen The Plumber"" sign.

Early jobs focused on windmill pumps and water tanks.

The demand for modern plumbing pushed him to expand in 1933.

HVAC joined our lineup during the postwar boom.

Rodney Thorsen took the reins in 1965 after years alongside his brother.

The ’60s and ’70s saw massive growth, culminating in our Walnut Road HQ.

Craig Pitau’s journey from GM to owner began in 2002.

In 2012, Craig became the sole owner, honoring the Thorsen legacy.

A Turlock native, Craig brought decades of business expertise.

Before Thorsen’s, Craig sharpened his skills at Foster Farms.

Today, Craig and Julia still call Denair home.

Great service & reasonable price. Cliff, the Thorsen's plumber, was very professional and was able to diagnose our plumbing problem immediately & get it fixed. Would definitely call Thorsen's again for any future plumbing problem's.

★☆☆☆☆

go somewhere else. not professional installation done. would not back their work, only wanted more money to fix what they had done. overcharged on unnecessary material. I would give zero stars if I could.

We use Thorsen's-Norquist for all our plumbing needs and they never disappoint. They are upfront on their pricing and I think they're very reasonable. Their plumbers are knowledgeable and they send someone out quickly.
The gentleman who came fixed the problem quickly and even showed me how to fix it if it happens again.

Thorsen's-Norquist personnel is the greatest! I am an elderly person and rely very much on my heating and cooling unit on my home. I recently had my 6-month ""tune-up "" maintenance to make sure my unit was ready for the summer's heat. I'm happy to say it is! I always request the same technician, Ruben, because he is not only skilled and efficient, he is friendly, always asks about my family and my cats, and remembers the services I rely on the most. My unit is working just fine, and I rely on Ruben to keep it in tip-top shape. He never disappoints! And while I'm handing out kudos, I want to mention the lady with whom I've spoken when setting up an appointment for service. Her name is Sheila, and she's most efficient at expediting my service. Since I want only Ruben working on the unit, she finds the appointment slot closest to the date I wish to have service completed, and sometimes that takes a while. Shelia is friendly, knows her technicians, and is more than capable in scheduling Ruben to my home in Escalon. I can tell by her tone of voice in speaking with me that there is a smile on her face, and she's more than willing to look a little further ahead on the schedule to meet my cooling or heating needs. Thank you both, Ruben and Sheila, for your attending to my HVAC needs, and thank you, Thorsen's-Norquist, for employing these excellent employees.

I had a leak in a bathtub faucet. The previous friend Plummer didn't complete the job very good & the leak returned with a vengeance. Thorsens easily fix the combination of issues at a fair price. Difference of knowledge with time on the job.

My house was 85 degrees and I felt a little sick from the heat
I am elderly and I really did not want to complain ... but I reached out to this company and they were here immediately. I have used their service for many years....I have never been so happy to see them. Their tech was here within a short time. He was the best...even good with my dogs. I Love this company!

We have worked with Thorsen's for over 30 years. They have done annual/season service on our air heat pump since we moved in (1986). We always get great service that is on time, professional, and doesn't try to sway us with ""in house"" technical jargon, but speaks to us plainly about what we need. Special shout out to Ruben, one of their service men.

Thank you for sending Irwin out so quickly. He found our problem and we are good to go.

Thorsen's-Norquist installed our HVAC unit 14 years ago. Every Fall and every Spring, they come to service it. They are always so personable, knowledgeable and efficient, especially Ruben who has been the one to come the last several years. Always so cheerful! I really feel he cares and takes pride in his work. Such a pleasant experience, always.

We have been using Thorson's-Norquest for close to 20 years. They do maintenance twice a year and never tried to sell us on newer model. When it was time for new AC, Thorsen's-Norquist did a great job. When we had to have service done, the service tech Brian is the guy for the job. When my daughters AC stopped working in a heat wave, Thorson's-Norquist was able to get her AC up and working within a day. Yes, it was Brian again!! Great Service!!
