Dishwasher replacements are part of my services, water service valves, pressure regulator replacements, installing pressure relief valves, and replacing hose faucets. I handle water heater installations and repairs - covering circulation pumps, installing combination temperature and pressure relief valves, combustion vent work, and safety pans. Gas work includes connections for water heaters, furnaces, and kitchen gas valves, including automatic gas shut-off valves that are seismically actuated. Fixture caulk removal and recaulking are part of my services. I manage minor drain cleaning and toilet clogs.
I do not handle cleaning of sewer lines; repiping services; installation of tankless water heaters; extensive gas work.
With ten years of experience at a well-known plumbing contractor in Santa Barbara, I decided to start my own business!
I find immense fulfillment in managing my own plumbing business and allows me to assist customers more directly.

Richard did a great job.

Richard is fantastic hard working and honest I mean customer service to highest degree. I highly recommend him

Richard installed bathroom faucets and drains in my newly renovated primary bath. He was knowledgeable and efficient. Also he pointed out and quickly repaired some other issues that I didn't even know I had! Pricing is competitive and I'd definitely call him again.

Richard is the best. Have been using him for years. He is honest, prompt, fastidious and his work is fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Did a great job installing my new garage sink at a reasonable price. Would definitely use again!

After using many plumbing services over the years in Thousand Oaks, including one who fraudulently wanted to install new plumbing throughout my entire house for $20,000, I am extremely pleased to have found Richard Fortune, owner of Wildwood Specialty Plumbing. I have used him on two occasions for minor jobs like installing a faucet, fixing leaking toilets, replacing valves, setting up the water line to the fridge... I found Richard to be highly competent, fast, efficient, personable, and honest. His prices were very reasonable. Most appreciated was his ability to explain everything to me at every step in the process. I trust his ability to get the job done in a timely manner and a reasonable price.

Richard was great, he showed up in a mask and took his time. Did a great job and really cares about what he does!

On first glance, Richard seemed like a wholesome man. He gave us a reasonable pricing for a simple plumbing job. After the job had been completed, Richard failed to announce that his original pricing was a total hoax. He charged me extra on the same job after agreeing to another price beforehand. I do not recommend Richard to anybody because he is deceitful in his offers and will lie to earn a few extra dollars.
