Company Overview

Owned and operated by a skilled plumbing artisan with a keen eye for detail, I focus on offering great quality for your plumbing requirements. I take great pleasure in my craft and hope you consider me for your plumbing needs. I handle projects of all sizes!

I provide complimentary plumbing evaluations, along with free estimates and water pressure evaluations. High water pressure can cause flooding in your home, and it can also damage appliances while wasting water!

I offer a range of services such as installing new toilet and undersink shut-off valves and water connectors. I handle faucet repairs and replacements, including valves for tubs and showers. I provide toilet repair and installation services, bidets, soap dispenser services, installation and servicing of water filters and reverse osmosis systems, services for instant hot water systems, connecting ice makers, replacing food waste disposals and installing push-button air switches. I handle dishwasher installations, installation of water service valves, pressure regulator replacements, installing pressure relief valves, and replacing hose faucets. I handle water heater installations and repairs - including circulation pumps, installing combination temperature and pressure relief valves, venting for combustion appliances, and safety pan installations. I also perform gas work such as connections for water heaters, furnaces, and kitchen gas valves, as well as seismically-actuated automatic gas shut-off valves. I provide caulk removal and recaulking for fixtures. I manage minor drain cleaning and toilet clogs.

I do not handle cleaning of sewer lines; repiping; tankless water heaters; large-scale gas services.

Having spent ten years with a reputable plumbing company in Santa Barbara, I took the leap to run my own plumbing company!

Running my own business has been incredibly rewarding and enables me to help clients with their plumbing challenges.

Richard is fantastic! I have had him take care of 3 jobs to date, and have more in store for him. He is honest, reliable and extremely knowledgeable. What I like about him also is that he wants safety for his customers, so he tells you what needs to be done. He goes above and beyond. I seriously couldn't give him a higher recommendation! Thank you Richard.

Showed up the same day I called about a leaking hot water heater. Arrived the following day to replace it...in my garage under less than ideal conditions (a socal heat wave). Richard is a professional at what he does, and replaced the gas/water connections to meet modern standards. Super nice guy...friendly and courteous. I was extremely satisfied, and would highly recommend him for any plumbing job in Thousand Oaks or the Conejo valley.

Left a message for Richard at 8:00 a.m. on the day of the emergency. He returned my call by 9, and arranged his schedule to arrive before noon. New water heater installed that afternoon. Excellent job, great workmanship, and a very fair price.

I had called Richard two years prior for a main-line sewer problem. As he was not doing this type of work, he recommended another plumber, but also gave advice on how I might avoid the problem altogether. I followed his advice, and for two years have had on further main-line problems. When I called Jan. 3, he had a complete record of our conversation two hears earlier. I was so impressed by him, I did not request a quote before having him install the new water heater. The cost was a pleasant surprise.

Would I use Richard again? If it's work he does, absolutely.

Professional, thorough, honest, knowledgeable are just a few words to describe Richard. When I called him about installing a bathroom vanity, he came over to take a look and made some excellent suggestions that benefited the overall bathroom renovation. I trusted his expertise and am so happy with the results. Everything looks and functions great! Richard is as good as it gets. Highly recommended!

Left a message and he gave a call back and chatted a while on phone trying to figure out how urgent the situation was. Richard dropped in day of call a few hours later.
He checked on our RO water system that wasn't working. He took two minutes to check it out and basically snapped his fingers and it worked. He didn't even want to charge for the house call because he felt he didn't ""do anything"". We have a tip for his trouble. Will do business again. Honest, prompt, and effective service!

Our first experience with Richard was installation of a sink/pedestal in a tricky setup. His attention to detail and methodical approach was impressive. The final product looked really good and he was able to work around all the constraints of the small space. Since then, he has done another repair and an installation. We are completely satisfied with all his work and we have had no issues with the components he installed/fixed after more than a year.

Richard is amazing! When he came to fix our bathtub, he found that our house had a filtration system (which we didn't know about for the 3.5 years of living here) and the filter had burst so all of our faucets had carbon grains clogging them up. He cleaned our entire system and fixed our complex problem with our bathtub. He was quick to come out and see us and because our house has really unique faucets and things, he did a ton of research on his own to figure out how to fix everything correctly (at no extra charge!) He was very reasonable with his price considering the amount of time he had to work on our house. He's a very friendly guy and really helped us out in a time of need. I HIGHLY recommend Richard for all your plumbing needs.

Richard was great to work with! He is honest and reliable and actually came through on his word. He fixed the issues with the old building we are moving in to and made some ""money saving"" recommendations based on what we are using the building for. I really appreciated his honesty.

We previously had another plumber come out and and charged us $100 just to turn a knob!! Richard was forward and upfront with his pricing. We will definitely be using him again for business and home issues. Thanks again!!

Richard came out and did many repairs for me, from my leaking kitchen sink, to running and broken bathrooms, to a regulator.... He was very thorough, and worked until the job was complete, even having to come back the next day. Some of the issues I had, had been going on for years and he was the first to be able to efficiently take care of them.
Thanks Richard!

After reading reviews at Yelp, we too decided to call Richard to fix some leakages and water heater issue.

We found him friendly and skilled, and his work neat and affordable. He was kind enough to explain us how the various components of water heater works and we found it very informative.

We are fully satisfied and highly recommend him.
