Worked with Frank Cichetti for the third time (we asked for him) and as usual the results were great. Frank is a steady guy, who likes to work the problem as engineers say and know what he is dealing with before diving in to just finish the job. Very professional approach that is much appreciated. He diagnosed, with consultation with the manufacturer, a problem we were having with a Toto Neorest hi-tech toilet. He then performed our 2-year descaling maintenance on the tankless water heater in my condo flat and the one below as well. Best thing about working with Cabrillo is that they let you know in advance what the charges will be so that there are no surprises. I have used Cabrillo since 2004 on projects large and small at various houses I have owned and while they are on the high side of pricing, they are the smartest and most professional plumbing and heating company I have ever used. Good Job, Frank and Cabrillo!

Brian tried to snake my sewer pipe but unsuccessful due to a broken pipe from tree root. He brought 2 apprentices (Steve and Matt) the following day and completed a spot repair on the same day. Steve did most of the heavy lifting with Matt's help. I was pleased with their hard work and dedication to get the job done. I would recommend them to anyone willing to pay a little more for a reliable service and positive experience. I am happy to have my house back. Thank you again Cabrillo team!

Overall good service and was helpful. Hoped for a better solution but what can you do. Didn’t get much info as to the diagnosis but was given an other option which was to replace the water heater which I never expected to do. Not sure if I needed to replace but I was in a need for hot water for the tenants. The Rheem water heater was not as good as they use to be which didn’t leave me much of an option. I ended up replacing the heater with something more reliable. I know I could of gotten a better price if I had the time and thats were they get you and I get it's a buisness.
Overall good job. Just not really given a full explanation of the problem and solutions other then a possanle up sale that's the reason for a three star.

Cabrillo Plumbing is great! Booked us immediately and called/text me 30-min. before when the technician Frank showed up. Frank is awesome - professional, patient, and through. He examined the situation and explained/ educated me on options; did requires; and emailed me a copy of the invoice before he left. What a great customer experience! Only wish the repair rate was a bit lower - which is out of his control.

Our tankless water heater kept going out and our home warranty sent out a different company who didn't fix it and said we were going to have to replace the whole unit but that it wasn't covered by our home warranty. We decided to call Cabrillo to get a second opinion and our tech Brian B arrived on time and was super friendly. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue and fixed our heater with without out replacing any parts, just a quick cleaning and reconnecting of part. He was super helpful in teaching me about my heater, how to service it and when i would eventually need to replace it. We can take hot showers again! This was about as good as a service company's service can get. 5 Stars!

The entire process for putting in a new furnace and hot water heater was very smooth. Frank was very efficient when developing the quote. When he needed more technical information another Cabrillo person quickly appeared to check the venting on the roof. By the end of the day, we had a quote. We engaged them to do the work and they appeared on time. Frank, Celes, and Mark were efficient and very personable. They fit the bill as The people you want in your home. The work was completed as scheduled and quoted. My garage was left as clean [possibly cleaner] than when they began the job.
This was our first experience with Cabrillo, but it will not be our last.

We have used Cabrillo Plulmbing, Heating and Cooling for both our home and our apartment house and have been extremely pleased with the service and their conscientiousness. They offer prompt service, and their employees are the best!!

We had a problem with our furnace and could not get an adequate amount of heat for the house. Cabrillo sent the service technician, Tony, out on Monday and again this morning to work on a furnace at our home. He was extremely professional and conscientious and was able to deduce the problem quickly, and completely explained the problem. We had to wait for P G & E to come fix the gas problem on their service line. Tony came back and made sure the furnace was in perfect working order.

Bob has come to both the house and the apartment building to work on plumbing issues, and he is fantastic.

We have used Cabrillo Plumbing, Heating and Cooling for several years and will never use another plumbing/heating contractor. I trust the Cabrillo company completely!

Frank was able to come earlier than original appointment. He was personable and got right to work confirming what the problem was and offered me three options for repair. Explained all options thoroughly and their costs. Since it would take another trip to fix the problem he explained to me how I could avoid any continual leaking until that time which was very helpful. This is my third experience with Cabrillo and I am always Pleased with their thoroughness and expertise!

Thankful to them for the brutal honesty of my situation for a water leak.

I called Cabrillo for a couple of minor problems, which were easily solved; the technician, Frank Cichetti, was on time, pleasant and competent. in doing one of the repairs, he noticed a potentially disastrous problem which we hadn't been aware of. he spent a long time explaining, and we decided to go with his suggestions. the next morning, he and another man, Eric, showed up several minutes early, and they worked 16 hours over two days. the work is beautiful. Frank is clearly knowledgable, careful, and competent. we are very grateful. solving the problem wasn't cheap, but we're glad we had it done. thank you, Frank and Eric.

2018: Cabrillo installed our new furnace a couple of years ago (see below) and we were extremely pleased. We purchased the service agreement and are even MORE pleased. Everyone is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Our service technician the past two years has been Robert Burkett. He arrives on time, explains process, knows his work, offers additional assistance and follows up. It's a pleasure to have Robert in our home. We have not had a single problem with our furnace, but we're pleased to have the service contract to keep things on track. I highly recommend Cabrillo and Robert Burkett.
For some reason, my earlier review was not posted. Here it is...

2016: Our first experience with Cabrillo was this week when our furnace stopped working. Office personnel returned our call on Sunday and set an appointment for Monday (Presidents' Day), then called Monday to confirm our appointment, all in a very upbeat and friendly manner. Frank Cichetti arrived on time, assessed our issues and presented several options. Frank did not rush through, but took the time to answer all our questions. We were pleased to see Frank return to install our new furnace. He was on time, thorough, knowledgeable, efficient and extremely considerate of our home. Again, he took the time to walk us through the changes and what to expect. We will call Cabrillo (and hopefully Frank Cichetti) for all our plumbing and heating needs in the future. We are extremely pleased with the results!

Our water heater broke early on a Saturday morning and flooded our garage. In despair, I called Cabrillo, who received my call with the most upbeat, cheerful and helpful voice!! To my shock, Cabrillo was able to schedule Robert and Oliver to come out ONE hour later. I thought they would come out simply to inspect, and then schedule a follow up appt to install a new water heater some other day. To my DELIGHT, they completely replaced the water heater THAT day, spending about 5-6 hours at our house so that never had to go without hot water. The team they sent out was amazing. So cheerful, upbeat, and extremely professional. Robert was absolutely amazing, gave us updates throughout the day, and provided excellent customer service. He got us set up with a maintenance program so this won't happen to us in the future. As I was paying the bill, Robert noticed our faucet on our sink was in need of repair. He went out of his way to explain to me exactly how to order the exact part I needed from the manufacturer. From the first phonecall, to the handwritten thank you note in the mail a week later, we could not be more impressed with Cabrillo. Thank you!!!

From the professional and polite attitude, his readiness to look at a few options, and then the very quick install. While we were still waiting on other plumbing companies to just give us options (a few days, some have yet to respond to us), Brian had exhausted every potential avenue with his company and gave us the best solution within an hour.
Within hours of his arrival we had a new toliet installed and the old one removed with no drama.

Erick was a long-time employee of CABRILLO as are most of their employees I gather. Erick was recently part of the team installing an HVAC system and MiniSplit system in my home. As 95% of the work was done on the first floor of my home, we passed each other all day long. Erick was so patient, a true gentleman. I enjoyed our short conversations over the week he was here. He and all the installers were so kind to let me know what was happening at each phase of the installation. He answered my many questions clearly and informatively. He and the team consciously cleaned up every day and stored supplies so that I could bring my car into the garage every night. Erick and Daniel both worked closely with my neighbor to create parking spaces on the street for my car and the company truck. I overheard many conversations between Cabrillo's employees. They always seemed to have respect for each other and me. No arguments and much confirming with each other. They all wanted to do their best work and it showed in their actions. I so appreciate having worked with a company that has actual morals and a high standard for their work and the treatment of customers as well as their employees and subcontractors. I had full trust and faith in CABRILLO. If you have a small or large job, I believe you can't do better than calling CABRILLO. Thank you's to Sal, Frank, Javier, Matt, Danny and Erick plus Gessa and Robert.

Top Notch Customer Service = Cabrillo Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling...

We had occasion to call these guys when our toilet was in need of service. I found out that they have been in business for over 50 years and told me that they have a rigorous interview process where they only accept 1 in 50 applicants. They also drug test so this makes me feel safer about who I'm inviting into my home. Another thing I appreciate is the fact that they guarantee their work. Though they are not the least expensive guys in town, they are imho the best choice for these matters...

Justin was the reservation manager I talked to to arrange the appointment. He was very good at listening to what I had to say and didn't interrupt. He also made sure that he understood my request in its entirety by echoing what I said back to me. He had a way about him that put me at ease.

Cabrillo's Brian Bufford was punctual when came over to answer the service call. (I think he's personally been in the business for over 20 years) Not only was he knowledgeable, he was kind and respectful when explaining the details...very easy-going. He wore what looked like shower caps on his shoes so that my floor wouldn't get dirty.

Thank you for helping us out when we needed you Cabrillo!

It was a pretty big job, but given that I had no heat Frank, Hugo, and Eric managed to rebuild our HVAC within the week. I couldn't be happier with the work, and the house is so much more comfortable now.

I had Cabrillo come and install a tankless water heater in my 1920's craftsmen style home, and replace and remove the older indoor obsolete water tank and piping. They did an excellent job of removal and installation of the new system, mounting it externally and re-piping the system into my existing plumbing. All of the work was carried out to plan, was very unobtrusive and had excellent attention to fit finish and detail. They also checked all of my exiting plumbing infrastructure under me sub floor, and fixed and braced several problem areas free of charge. At no point during the work was I ever without hot water, and the change over was seamless.I'd highly recommend Cabrillo.

So it's 4th of July weekend and the P-trap under the kitchen sink decides this is the opportune time to split wide open. I called Cabrillo, fully expecting to be told that they could work me in sometime after the next Monday or that there would be a huge surcharge for coming out on the holiday 4-day weekend. I was surprised to be told they could have someone out between 1 and 4 that day. The gentlemen who showed up were there around 2 and immediately went to work. They did a great job, cleaned up after themselves, explained what needed to be done, gave an estimate and were everything anyone would wish to have in a situation like mine. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

We were stuck as our 16 year old shower fixture stopped working. Cabrillo expedited a visit from Patrick who was professional and competent. He replaced the diverter and cartridge quickly. But no!!! one crucial piece went missing through the process of us trying to diagnose the problem and Patrick doing his work. Gessa (the most excellent customer service rep) researched the problem, found the part and ordered it for express delivery. When it arrived, someone from their shop dropped it off and we put it all together. Works perfectly! They went above and beyond and always kept a positive and friendly attitude. We will use them again if/when we have plumbing needs.

Cabrillo was the third plumbing service we had over to help us figure out a seemingly straightforward issue, but neither of the two previous plumbers wanted to expend the effort to figure out the part required. Brian came over and figured out what was needed immediately and our problem was fixed within a week (once the part was in!). And brian was polite and very professional the entire time. I also appreciated the callbacks to let me know the part was in as well as the followup phonecall after the job was completed. No questin that I will be calling Cabrillo the next time a plumbing issue arises, and i will request brian!

My choice in San Francisco since 2002, Carrier central heating installed in my house on Church Street, water heater and check ups. Always protected my floors, constant contact w/ me as owner. Trustworthy, excellent technicians and plumbers. I like sticking with a company that’s been around the city a long time.

I was delighted with the professional, timely, neat, friendly, and effective service that Brian provided. We had several different problems to address, and he solved all of them - including replacing a toilet and faucet - that same day and within a couple of hours. Cabrillo has consistently provided good, reliable service.

I am so happy with Frank from Cabrillo Plumbing. He did a great job with assessing the problem with our toilet and explained everything very thoroughly. I have never been more happier with a plumbing company than Cabrillo. We have used them for a few years and their work is top notch! They are very professional and have great customer service. I can't recommend them enough.

Our kitchen sink drain was occasionally backing up and leaking, but it wasn't urgent. I contacted two solo plumbers, but both were unresponsive. I then looked up a company with good reviews and reached out to them via their web contact form. Again, no answer. Then I picked up the Noe Valley Voice and saw the Cabrillo ad. I called and was connected right away to Sal. He was driving and asked to call me back, which he did promptly, and booked us for the very next day with a window in the afternoon.

The day of, I got a call from Sal that he could get a guy over sooner if I was available. I was, and 20 minutes later, Todd showed up. He was 100% professional and courteous, and super competent. He diagnosed our problem immediately and was in and out in about an hour. I couldn't be more satisfied. 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, and one happy customer!

I was having an emergency breakdown. An out of commission toilet (almost 40 years old) and 15 grand nieces and grand nephews and their parents due the next day for a holiday dinner. Kismet put me in touch with Cabrillo Plumbing and Robert came out. Knowledgeable, professional, efficient...clearly explained the problem, identified options and suggested the ideal solution. Within 4 from his arrival, we had a new toilet installed. Perfect in every way. We can't say enough about Robert and Cabrillo.

Frank Cichetti was our repair technician and he was stellar. After running diagnostics, the not-so-fun-to-hear news of what needed fixing came and he walked me through all my options clearly, and straightforward. Frank has a lot of experience as he was able to impart insight about integrating heating systems with Nest and what I would need in order to implement that solution.

An all around positive customer experience for me. When you've got a problem with a big price tag, it always helps when the service comes with empathy as well as education. Thanks so much!

I had a leak in our front yard and needed someone fast. Cabrillo came out right away and Frank Cichetti, the service tech was outstanding. He had to search all over to find the water shutoff and then was able to diagnose the problem very quickly. His fix solved the problem and discussed long term solutions as well. Frank was extremely helpful in explaining everything and made fast work to fix the problem. Will definitely use them again.

We had a shower water pipe fail which flooded the entire bathroom and living room carpet. Worse it was in the ceiling and in a really difficult place to get at. Fixing this leak required cutting into the walls, negotiating a huge wood beam, electrical wiring, plus getting around heating ducts for the upstairs unit.

Brian came out bright, early and on time. He did a a fantastic job of quickly locating and fixing the problem. He was a true professional who was kind, easy to talk to and thoroughly explained what would have to be done. He even gave us a few options.

But here's where Cabrillo goes above and beyond... After he completed the repairs he completely cleaned up the work areas, taking all the scraps and busted drywall to the trash. And that's huge!

We've been using Cabrillo for almost 20 years and have never had anything but stellar, quality work. They get my 5 star recommendation any day.

The drain under our kitchen sink developed a leak; waste water from the sink and dish washer ran through the ceiling of a room below the kitchen and generally made a mess. I was lucky to recognize the problem when I did. The drain pipes had corroded and the seals were rotten. Confident that I could fix the problem I visited Ace, bought the necessary bits and pieces. Then went back again to Ace. And then I had to go back again... So after spending hours and $$ I figured I had fixed the leak:I soon found out otherwise... Time to call the professionals!

We had used Cabrillo before over the years, and they responded quickly and on time. Brian, the technician, was courteous and neat (I appreciate Brian donning his fabric bootees although it was not necessary!). Brian gave a reasonable quote and speedily fixed the problem. But what really impressed me was that once he started the job he discovered that he was unhappy with other drain pipes under the sink so he replaced them too, at no extra charge, and at his own initiative. That sort of service deserves a 5 star review!.

I am a realtor and I just had closed a deal where I represented the seller. Unfortunately, the buyer moved in only to discover that the water heater did not work. after I drove over to check it out myself I called a bunch of plumbers, but only Cabrillo came through. They were at the property within 60 minutes and thanks to the MyCentriq app I was able to give the dispacter the model number and serial number of the water heater so the technician had the correct parts with him. The Buyer had hot water two hours after my initial call. Thank you, Cabrillo. Payton

From the minute I called Cabrillo, I knew the experience would be great. A cheerful, helpful staff member answered the phone, listened to my issue, and sent someone out right away. That someone was Bob Torre who was awesome. Not only did he fix my issue in a couple hours, but he educated me on plumbing in general and I have a much better understanding of how to prevent problems going forward. He came in with white booties and even put down rugs to prevent water from getting anywhere. While no one ever wants to spend money on plumbing, if you have something go wrong, these are the guys I'd want to do it.

A few months ago I had a water heater blow out. I've seen the Cabrillo trucks around the city (you can't miss them) so I gave them a call. I spoke to a very pleasant woman and she assured me they could help. An appointment was set and the technician arrived on time. He took a look at the water heater and gave me a quote. The worker was very friendly and was dressed in a impressively clean white uniform. The water heater was replaced and in working condition in no time. Clean up was also quite impressive. I generally always have to do my own version after having work done by an outsider but they did it all as promised and then some. Cabrillo delivered outstanding work and walked me through everything. I will definitely keep this company as my go to for all of my plumbing needs. It's important to feel taken care of, not taken advantage of.

I called Cabrillo because our disposal wasn't working. It turns out it is pretty old --and rusty, so we got a new one (all in the same visit!) Frank checked our water heater at my request, AND he thoughtfully checked the water pressure coming into the house. It's a good thing: not only is the water heater 19 years old, but we need a new pressure monitor and gauge.... Frank gave me a detailed description of options for a new heater, as well as cost and the type of work that would have to be done--with no pressure. It's wonderful having Cabrillo be able to take care of so many plumbing items. We've used companny for about 25 years, and they've never let us down in quality of work, quality of appliances & material, and excellence of personnel!

I have been using Cabrillo for the past 5 years and have not been disappointed with the response time, technician capability, or professionalism. Called this morning with an emergency main-line clean out request and the dispatcher worked hard to identify a technician that could come out same day and David was knocking on my door within the hour. He was very knowledgeable, provided a couple different options to complete the work with different price points and took the time to explain exaclty what he would be doing while on site. He was in and out in about an hour. I barely knew here was here and his left the job site as clean as he found it.

I cannot find enough superlatives to describe this excellent company! It started with the Dispatch Manager Sal, who was attentive and efficient. Then their expert plumber Dave Preciado arrived exactly on time as promised, and proceeded to fix my problem in no time at all. When it appeared that replacement parts were needed, I naturally assumed that I'd have to schedule a follow-up appointment, but no -- Dave whipped out his phone and within minutes Cabrillo delivered the parts to him. Within an hour, a job which I had expected to cost me thousands of dollars was done to perfection, and the bill was a fraction thereof, hardly worth mentioning. These are honest people who know their job. I have been searching for a reliable plumbing and heating company to take care of my rentals, and now I have found it. Thank you, Cabrillo!

I've used Cabrillo Plumbing for years... Not just for for my personal residence but for and for my family's business and commercial properties here in San Francisco as well.
Over the years they have done just about everything you can think of in the way of plumbing ... and always done a great job! We've had several waters replaced, leaking pipes fixed. shower faucets changed. clogged pipes cleared ... they even got my old heater working again which saved me a lot of money. They have installed new sinks and drain lines in my business and worked around our work schedule so they wouldn't interrupt our business.
The men that come to do the work have always been on time, courteous and are dressed in a clean uniform.
After they are finished working they always clean up and NEVER have left a mess.
I recommend Cabrillo Plumbing highly.

We have used Cabrillo as our plumber for the last 5 years and have been delighted with their service - they are prompt, efficient, very tidy and extremely capable. They handle routine matters with dispatch, but what's special is how determined - and skilled - they are when faced with a difficult problem. Today they were able to unblock a bathtub drain that had been clogged when a part of the original drain mechanism broke off and lodged deep in the pipe. An earlier technician had told us it was impossible to remove and would likely require drilling into the wall to access it. But Robert and Jeff from Cabrillo persisted, and after an hour of effort were able to extract it from above using WD40 and their ingenuity. This is just the latest of many good experiences we have had with this firm. It's a class operation.

Cabrillo was very prompt in responding to our call, even though this was not an emergency, and it was a Saturday. Brian was extremely professional and helpful in explaining the issues and work needed, but unfortunately did not have the needed supplies on his truck, otherwise he would have fixed everything then. He came back first thing Monday and finished very quickly. I saw one other review complaining about the prices. Cabrillo seemed about on par for cost, and as has been said, you get what you pay for! Cabrillo was the second company we had to call to correct plumbing needed to install a new dishwasher. The first company broke a pipe in the process of a valve replacement and used questionable replacement hose materials. Brian informed us the installed valve was not the correct type and replaced it along with new pipe, and installed a separate valve and hose to plumb water back to our refrigerator. The first company just removed the water supply and said it wasn't possible to reconnect. So - I'd say Cabrillo did a great job! Brian is excellent with communications, and was also willing to inspect other parts of our 60-year old pipe system for any other issues. Fortunately things checked out fine. Candice, in Cabrillo's office, was also very timely and responsive with the paperwork, which I appreciated.

Our home gas furnace stopped working, and it turned out to be a defective thermostat. Cabrillo replaced our old Honeywell thermostat with a smart Nest, and the system works remarkably well now. In fact, it works so well, that we decided to replace our 2nd gas furnace thermostat with a new Nest as well. Our home is now upgraded to a much more programmable heating system, and both furnaces work beautifully. Thank you Robert Burkett for doing such a great job and being so pleasant at it.

I had Cabrillo come out and do a free estimate for installing a furnace in my 100+ year old Victorian house. The technician came promptly at the appointed time, and was nothing less that clean, professional and courteous. In the end they recommended I go the other rout . I was also thinking of installing gas fireplace heaters instead of having to build venting into the walls or put 2 furnaces one in the basement, and one in the attic - they recommended I do that instead, thus loosing my business So my experience with them has led me to feel that they have my best interests at heart.

I was so happy with their services that I had them install a new toilet in one of my bathrooms. The work was done on time, and perfectly, at a reasonable rate. I am thinking of having them come bask and install a steal shower in my master bath next.

They identified a heating duct issue where the previous contractors tapped into the return instead of the heating ducts. When they do the water heater and heater maintenance they do a thorough job. I highly recommend them for all plumbing and heating repairs or needs!

Our water heater went out and we needed help in a hurry. Called late Friday afternoon and they told us we could have someone there on Saturday. They called early Saturday morning to say they would be out to us in 20-30 minutes. Frank arrived right on schedule. He gave us all of our options and waited around politely while we hemmed and hawed over the price. Frank and Erick took out our old unit, lines, pipes, etc and gave a fully fresh install. The job was neatly and professionally done and our new water heater works great! Thank you Frank and Erick.

We had an early morning pipe burst which flooded our basement-Gesa (?) took the call and quickly had Frank Cichetti at our house-he was excellent-very professional-he correctly accessed the source of the problem, replaced the pipe, installed a valve and cleaned up his work and vacuumed water from the carpet. Highly recommend both Frank and Cabrillo-we called not long ago to replace our furnace-also an excellent experience-happy to have finally found a good plumbing company.

Dave and Oliver came to our rescue after an individual installed a shower drain incorrectly as the first step to our brand new renovated bathroom. I believed the Contractor when he said So and So could do that... well, So and So couldn't do that and lot's of other repair and installation tasks involving WATER that the Contractor said they could do. Fast forward to having all of the wall tile and shower pan removed down to the studs before even taking ONE shower and before having the custom made to specs Shicker Shower Surround installed.
Cabrillo came in to right the wrongs. They removed all of the pipes and drains and set to work to make an extremely professional (and frankly quite beautiful) copper array that will be the least of my worries in the future. Hire a Professional. I thought I did and was told I had but, not all professionals are created equal!
Go with Cabrillo Plumbing the first time... the REAL PROFESSIONALS!

I am most impressed with the professionalism and courteous manner exemplified by the Cabrillo staff I have dealt with. They are customer-oriented, thorough, and friendly. The project they completed for me in 2012, the installation of a water heater, was handled with efficiency and expertise. The job site was immaculate when they left. I am about to have 2 bathroom fixtures replaced or re-built, and am confident that I will be most happy with the results. Frank Cichetti, the technician I dealt with on both the prior job and the current one, has been a pleasure to work with. He explained all my options in great detail and graciously afforded me all the time I needed to make my decision. I never felt pressured to hurry my decision or chose a particular option. I intend to use Cabrillo for all my future plumbing needs, and would highly recommend them to anyone who values quality workmanship and products.

Both the call center and the local dispatch were kind and helpful on the phone as they scheduled a Monday morning appointment for me. Brian arrived promptly at 7am and quickly assessed the situation. He was very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. He and Victor cleanly removed the old water heater, installed the new one, explained usage, and finished the whole process by 11:30. I was very pleased with the service and can highly recommend them.

A failing water heater and Cabrillo was ready to step in immediately and diagnose the problem. Before moving to replace, Cabrillo thorough investigated to ensure the signs of leakage were not from exhaust draft issues. Ultimately it appeared to be a tank pinhole requiring heater replacement. Brian and Steve were highly efficient and professional, ready to handle all the components in the system that also required replacement. Back up and running in six hours. Bills in San Francisco are never modest, yet Cabrillo provides great value and the best professionals out there.

I called Cabrillo Plumbing Heating and Air for a backed-up sewage pipe and they were OUTSTANDING!!! They set up my appointment promptly and were on time. About 30 minutes before arrival I received a text from Cabrillo telling me David, the plumber was en route. The text included a picture, physical description, years of experience, hobbies, and so on. Once David got to our house he introduced himself and was very professional. He checked the area where the clogged pipe was and got a general layout of our plumbing. He set up his work area and got down to business all the while explaining what he was doing, how the plumbing system worked, and what the overall goal was. After David verified the clog was clear and flowing he installed our toilet with the ease of a seasoned artist. Their quality of service and professionalism impressed me and I will call them in the future for plumbing or heating needs.

Great that the other customers had good experience. However, it's not the case for me. The quota I got for the replacement of a heating furnace is almost twice of other places. AND, only when I asked whether the permit is included, I was told it's not and will cost another $500. For those that don't know, the permit is required legally and often included in the standard package. And Carrillo chose to not mention it at all. It's a shady way to save cost.
Very negative experience. Premium price with subpar service.

Five stars: We had two aging water heaters that needed to be replaced. We called Cabrillo Plumbing and arranged for a Service Technician Frank Cichetti to give us an estimate. Frank, a Master Plumber and well experienced, reviewed our situation. Then clearly explained our needs and current earth quake laws
They installed two Bradford and White water heaters in the garage. Securely strapping the heaters to 6 seismic shiny heavy duty U-shaped stainless steel braces all well bolted to the cement floor, to the ceiling joists, and to the side of the building. And installed 4 heavy duty seismic flexible water hoses, plus installing other copper and gas steel piping and venting.
Added: installed an eye catching “blue” 4 gallon expansion tank, installed a 3 foot bollard with an eye appealing “yellow” cover, and replaced a defective reducing valve.
A magnificent job of engineering. The water heaters will stand as long as the building stands.
Frank was assisted by three hard working knowledgeable apprentices all cleanly uninformed. Frank’s utility truck was impressively organized with much supplies and tools. When Frank needed to enter the living area, he always slipped on booties to his shoes---the same for the apprentices. All reflects well on their employer.

I let a screw fall into my garbage disposal and I couldn't get it out. I did all the usual interventions including dangling a magnet into the disposal, hitting the reset button, using the allen wrench, etc. with no success. I called Cabrillo and they were able to come out within a very reasonable time frame so my whole day was wasted waiting for them. In fact, Brian arrived early which was great. He explained all my possible choices and potential outcomes. Thankfully Brian got the screw out and my disposal is now running quietly as it should instead of sounding like someone was hammering on metal from inside the disposal. Brian was very professional and answered a few other questions I had about disposals and I was relieved to have the rest of my day free without the headache of trying to fix the disposal myself (which would have been a disaster.) I have used Cabrillo for years and they are consistently prompt, professional, informative and great to work with. Thank you Brian for your fixing my disposal and thank you, Cabrillo, for always being so reliable!

These people are so good! From the professionalism and knowledge of the office staff to the promptness, accuracy, efficiency and skill of my technician, Frank, everything they do is high quality, high integrity and high generosity. Frank helped resolve a mysterious and inconsistent issue with my furnace as well as uninstall a tricky water filter system. He didn’t just do the task at hand, he went far beyond the call of duty. After having Frank help me out I realized how all the people I’d used beforehand may have saved me money in the short term but ended up requiring corrections to be made. Lesson learned, next time I’m going straight to Cabrillo for HVAC and plumbing issues. And requesting Frank!!

So I called and they had a very professional plumber at my home in 2 hours and they did a superb job removing my old water heater and replacing it with a new one. I couldn't be happier - and should I encounter any problems they will come back at no extra charge. What's not to like!!!

I just found my plumber!

Found a great deal on Angie’s List and decided to give them a try. The only things I really had a problem with was a couple of slow drains.

Bob Torre was my service technician and not only did a wonderful job, but went above and beyond what I have come to expect from a competent plumber.

First, he respected my property. He put on some protective booties so that he wouldn’t dirty my carpet. Then, he made sure that the items on my counter top were out of the way of any splash. After the job was done, he even cleaned up the splatter on my counter and mirror.

Second, he explained everything he was doing and very carefully went over the paperwork and told me what everything meant on the paperwork before he allowed me to sign or initial. He explained California liability and workman’s comp requirements for all service companies and told me how to protect myself and my home when I allow someone into my home.

When everything was clear, he showed me one of the main reasons why my master bath drain was running slowly and how I could avoid a premature service call by simply replacing a part (that they did not carry) or, at least, being aware of the position of the part and manually adjusting it.

Finally, he showed me how where the shutoff valve was for my water heater and even tested the pressure coming into my home to make sure it was at a safe level.

Bob was very personable and demonstrated how excellent service can be. When I complimented him on his service and attitude, he indicated that all Cabrillo technicians have been trained that way.

What that tells me is that the ownership and management of Cabrillo are smart in who they hire and who they choose to serve as their front line. Advertising can get 1st time business but it takes someone like Bob to keep them coming back.

I will ask for him the next time I have a plumbing challenge.

Cabrillo is superb. They have been the folks I call for over 10 years, and every interaction is first-class. Most recently I had Frank Cichetti from Cabrillo out to install a brand-new toilet to replace the original 85-year-old one, and the result is stunning. He handled all the underlying issues from an old house perfectly and helped me make decisions that my wife and I are thrilled with. Frank is such a pleasure to work with. If you want it done right, this is the place to call.

From my first call to schedule an appointment, I always request Brian who I just enjoy talking to and he knows his plumbing. I appreciate that Cabrillo knows that I am a long time customer and they always make me feel appreciated.
They follow all safety precautions with mask and shoe coverings. I loved during the start of the pandemic they repainted the faces on their truck to add a face mask.

Service Technician Frank Cichetti replaced our water heater today. The installation was a little challenging due to the tight space he had to fit it into, but he patiently explained the different options and performed the work skillfully. The job could not have been done more efficiently or more professionally. The cost for the water heater replacement was kind of breathtaking ($2800), but it's not feasible to do price comparisons with other companies when you haven't had hot water for a few days so I'm not really able to say whether the price was competitive or not. But I would not hesitate to call Cabrillo again if we had a plumbing or heating job.

Cabrillo just finished replacing our Rinni tankless water heater and everything about their service was top notch. Brian, from Cabrillo, clearly explained how the tank functions, the cause of the malfunction and my options. I elected to replace the tank, a significant financial investment, because of the 12-year warranty on the tank and the warranties on labor and ancillary devices but, most importantly because I trust Brian, Gage and Oliver. The repair team always arrived promptly, insisted on wearing shoe coverings every time they entered the house, worked quietly and neatly. When the finished they left my garage cleaner than they found it! All of my interactions with the office staff were equally delightful. My sense from dealing with Cabrillo is that employees are valued and treated with respect. Communication is prompt, clear and exudes a feeling of authentic concern and warmth. I will never call another plumber.

5 years ago we remodeled our house and had a tankless water heater installed. Since then we have been very disappointed in the lack of hot water and reduced water pressure. We had our contractor and his plumber try to fix the problem as well as a couple of other plumbers and we never got positive results. Two weeks ago, Frank C from Cabrillo plumbing was able to identify the problems and now after 5 years we are able to have hot water and much better water pressure. Frank was professional, thorough and able to identify and explain the problems so that we could make an informed decision as to our options of correcting the problems. We couldn't be happier with the results and the professionalism Frank displayed on the day he worked at our house.

We got a call that the service person would be to our home within an hour - 45minutes later Tony arrived.
Tony listened to me describe the problem and I showed him where the crawlspace was in the garage - not the most fun place to get too. Without hesitation he put his bag down and crawled right up, found the light assessed the area and went to his truck to get what he needed. He found the problem, fixed it and put everything back the way he'd found it. What my mom and I really appreciated is that Tony listened to our questions and concerns - when he responded everything made sense. We are looking forward to receive an estimate from him so that we can replace our 35 year old heating system. We were very pleased Tony and his professionalism - thank you!

Excellent service! We were so impressed with Cabrillo. From our first phone call that was answered promptly - by someone who actually took some time to try to help us figure out what might be going on to the appointment. The service person was prompt, sent a text before he was scheduled to arrive which included a bit of background on his training. He spent time trying to figure it out, (above expectation!) and delivered excellent service. We will definitely use Cabrillo again.

Unfortunately my very old heating unit was irreparable, but Robert was able to quickly order a new unit and returned within a few days to install it. He and his partner came right on time and worked quickly and efficiently to install a new unit, which is working great. Would highly recommend their services.

I would like to acknowledge Cabrillo for an excellent repair job on my old kitchen sink. Kirston was very helpful setting up an appointment. The Service Technician, Frank Cichetti arrived at the appointed time. His professional manner was displayed in everything from his dress to his clear explanation of what he would be doing and how much it would cost. I appreciate Frank. He worked focused and quick. He complete all check lists and paperwork that was required. He also took time to answer some of my questions about future repairs or replacements. I will use Cabrillo again. I even got a money saving tip. An important tip about the U.S. Dept. of Energy changing requirements for hot water heaters in April 2015. Better move that work to the top of the list. Thanks a lot Frank for a excellent job done. Keep up the good work Cabrillo!

I was a returning customer as we have used them in the past. We unfortunately had a severely clogged toilet and the service was fine and personable etc but my beef is with the charge I ended up with a $298 15 minute visit at best. I understand you have to make money but for that short of a visit that should not be the charge. I will seek other alternatives going forward.

Just because you can charge that doesn’t mean you should. Clearly your response below does not justify that price. I will be going elsewhere.

They are very polite and professional. Be warned, however, that they are VERY expensive. They did not, for example, warn me that the 'coming out to look' fee of $189, would also be on top of the $519 fee for installing a new switch. $700 for 1.5 hours of work and a $20 part is really steep. To their credit, they agreed to fold the $189 fee into the $519.

Cabrillo, and Brian in particular, were once again excellent. I called late in the afternoon needing a gas shut-off valve installed for my oven to get PG&E to turn the gas on for my apartment after the oven broke. Cabrillo managed to get me an appointment early the next day. Brian was exactly on time and had everything installed in under two hours. PG&E later tested everything and it was great! Now I have heat and hot water again. Cabrillo is consistently quickly available and does fantastic work. Not cheap, but worth it.

It's not fun when you discover, early on Sunday morning, that your hot water heater's been leaking and has covered your basement floor in water. Thank goodness for Cabrillo Plumbing!
I had a toilet replaced by Cabrillo last year and was very impressed with the attention given to the job and the subsequent cleanup. It was a no brainer to call them with my weekend emergency, and within 10 minutes, a same day repair appointment was set up.
A very courteous uniformed plumber named Brian and his assistant, Eric, arrived promptly as scheduled, and after discussing the minor catastrophe, got right to work.
I was informed of their findings and the solution, which was to replace the water heater (as I suspected).
Brian and Eric came equipped with everything needed to make the necessary replacement quickly and efficiently. Once again, I was very impressed with their professionalism, attention to details during the installation and cleanup, and thorough explanation of how to get the longest life from the replacement water heater.
I am a very satisfied customer, to say the least, and feel the service and products Cabrillo Plumbing provides are well worth the value.

Cabrillo plumbing and heating came to look at my furnace. Frank the technician did a diagnostic of the furnace. Frank was very nice and knowledgeable. He found and said the furnace was not blowing hot air because of a circuit board that is bad. There was glitch on his tablet so he could not order the circuit board. He said to check my email in 20 minutes. Frank had to call the office to see what happened. I did call the office and the estimate was there in my email. I had to call Cabrillo and spoke to Sal and I confirmed the estimate and Sal sent the order of the circuit board to the order department. Sal will give me a email when the circuit board comes in.
To schedule a come back appointment to install the circuit board. Hopefully it will come soon. Cold temperatures are not very fun. Cabrillo is a pretty organized company. I will review them more when the job is completed.
Cabrillo came on Tuesday and they ordered the circuit board. Thursday December 1, 2022 Cabrillo called and said the part will be in today and they can install the circuit board Friday December 2, 2022. Frank was the same technician and installed the circuit board. The furnace now heats up perfectly. Cabrillo plumbing and heating is a great company it is my choice for heating. The whole staff is great very courteous who ever answers the phone and down to the technician. Excellent company

One morning during the recent cold weather, our furnace started blowing a horrible smell smell out of the heat ducts. We a called a company that had serviced our system previously. They sent someone over to check out the situation. The tech didn't do any investigation of the furnace and when he smelled the odor coming out of the ducts, he said the manifold on the furnace had cracked and combustion products were coming into our living space. We were advised to turn off the furnace and not to use it. No repair was suggested other than a new furnace. We did turn off the furnace, but fortunately we called Cabrillo for a second opinion. Frank came over quickly and assessed the situation thoroughly. Unlike the other tech, he carefully examined the furnace and after extensive diagnosis, he determined that the installation was a sloppy job. A piece of plasticy insulation had fallen onto the manifold, melted, started vaporizing and was producing the awful smell. The fix was just to gain access to the manifold and clean in thoughly. After Frank's fix, the furnace is producing lots of odorless heat. Frank's diagnostic skill, thoroughness, and honesty saved us a ton of money. If he had not been here we would have probably ended up buying a new furnace. Frank and Cabrillo have our highest recommendation.

I had 2 1940ish wall heaters that we not working. Gave Cabrillo a call and they sent Tony out. Totally painless process, quick and efficient. Tony even taught me a little about the units and how they differ from the technology of today. I'll certainly be using Cabrillo as future issues arise.

My experience with Cabrillo plumbing was excellent. Brian was prompt, professional and kept me fully informed and updated. Even though I had a minor leak, because of the relative rarity of the part Brian had to make 3 trips (first to inspect, and two to fix) to fix the leak. Other plumbers took one look at the leak and never even sent me a quote. Brian and the folks at Cabrillo Plumbing knew exactly what they were doing.

They cost a little more than other plumbers, but I was happy to pay for their service

Imagine a completely professional individual showing up on your doorstep to take care of a potentially messy plumbing problem. The individual is wearing nearly all white, spotless. His boots are covered with protective coverings. Your wife is thrilled beyond belief as how clean and kind natured he is. He patiently and cleanly goes about his business, snaking a tub that until this day has resulted in calf deep water with every showering. His name is Brian. He not only solves the problem, he gives you advice on other fixes and passes on basic plumber knowledge. He engages you on your level.

I usually do my own plumbing work, within my own abilities. I manage an apartment building. It's an old building that sometimes has old building issues. However if I ever have a problem I cannot solve, I immediately call Cabrillo, and in fact I hope they send over Brian. He is a total professional, smart, clean and thorough.

Thank you Cabrillo and Brian - you guys rock and I am now a dedicated customer, for life.

My 88-year old mother called Cabrillo without my knowledge because her toilet wasn’t working. They actually asked her if she wanted them to call a family member or someone to discuss the job. She had them call me. After they told me what was wrong they gave me some options to repair it or replace it. We ended up buying a new one and it’s been great. The fact that they actually asked her to get someone else involved shows me they’re definitely not trying to take advantage of anyone. I thought that was a first class move.

I noticed water under the kitchen sink, called Cabrillo (on a weekend!), and within 24 hours everything was leak-free and fully functional. Frank arrived masked and wearing slipcovers on his boots, took a good look at the problem, and explained what needed to be done. With my approval, he replaced the garbage disposal in what seemed like two minutes, cleaned up, and was gone. No more leak, and the new disposal works great. Who knew dealing with a leak could be a pleasant experience? I will be calling on Frank and Cabrillo any time my place requires a plumber!

This isn’t our first time calling on Cabrillo for plumbing and heating issues. This time it was for a dishwasher drain issue.

Upon inspection, it became apparent that we had an appliance issue, and not a clogged drain line. Cabrillo recommended we call an appliance repair business, as appliance repair service is not currently offered by Cabrillo.

We've had numerous issues from the hot water heater, to the furnace now even to our AC. Our first call several years ago was to Cabrillo and we have been coming back ever since. To be clear, everything they've fixed has stayed fixed.

Frank has been in to fix our water heater and our furnace on separate calls. Always willing to explain what he's doing and show us what's going on. He was notably great about pointing out a very crucial safety issue with our furnace that wouldn't have been caught had he not spent a good amount of time debugging the system and testing after everything was going smoothly.

We had been used to Frank for years after coming back and fixing various parts on our appliances, so when I had an issue with our AC not working, I called Cabrillo. I got a prompt appointment for two days after my call, right when I had time during my day. However, my heart sunk when I was told that Frank wouldn't be coming out to fix our issue. The lady on the phone told me that Tony was coming to fix our AC. I hadn't worked with him before, but he came highly recommended from the reviews.

When Tony arrived, he was able to diagnose the problem within the first 10 minutes. Luckily the problem was not catastrophic. His depth of knowledge about these systems was very extensive what struck me was how he was able to take my questions from refrigerant choices to system design and efficiency very well. He was very kind and thoughtful in his answers. Just like Frank, you can tell Tony has a desire to see that his clients are well-educated when making repair choices and that they feel comfortable with their course of action.

I admit that not having had service from different companies has limited my ability to compare prices. However I would recommend Cabrillo on service alone.

Thank you Tony! I'm sitting in my upstairs office 15 degrees cooler than an hour ago.

I had a great experience with Dave and Oliver, who installed a custom colored vanity and TOTO toilet in my vintage 1930's bathroom. After a previous plumber (from a different company ) told me that both items were too complicated to install, I was nervous... after regrouping with Dave I found out that these items were not as big a deal to install as I had understood. Dave was communicative throughout the installation, informing me of issues as they arose, and asking questions when decisions needed to be made throughout the process.

I had a ceiling leak in a vent and wasn't sure what the problem was. Was it the AC, was it plumbing? I called company after company and spoke to people on the phone that didn't have a clue. Until I got to Cabrillo. They explained to me in detail the possible problems and solutions. Obviously I went with them and I'm glad I did. They showed up for their appointment right on time (having called beforehand to confirm time of arrival) and were meticulously thorough in their testing. Erick Ortega was the service tech and he did a marvelous job. They identified what was going on efficiently and we planned next steps. I'd recommend Cabrillo without hesitation for great, professional plumbers.

Dave installed a new water heater, multiple bath and kitchen plumbing fixtures, and a new, much needed pressure valve. These installations have improved the quality of our lives tremendously, from the tap water tasting cleaner and better to our irrigation system functioning more effectively. Our lawn has never looked better. The kitchen faucet is such an improvement over the old one -- much easier to use and much cleaner water. The sinks and showers function so much better. We're thrilled with the results. Dave was ably assisted on multiple visits by Eric, Hugo and Jeremy. They were all prompt and professional. We recommend them highly.

TL:DR Would definitely recommend Cabrillo for your service needs.

Details:
Called up Cabrillo to replace some stuck bathroom sink valves and a leaky faucet. Was able to easily schedule a convenient appt and the tech Dave showed up at the beginning of the time window provided. He was very nice and professional. The valves were replaced swiftly and rather than replace the cartridges on my old faucet, I opted to get a new faucet, as that would be the most cost effective. Once the faucet came in, I was able to get Dave back out again to install the faucet and also replace an very old sink trap.

Cabrillo is not cheap and does charge per job/task, which includes any needed parts as part of the estimate provided. This differs from a time and materials billing, but I do feel I got good value for the work completed.

Sal took care of booking my appts and was also very professional and got me scheduled very efficiently. I mentioned a price quote discrepancy and Sal did some follow-up and got that resolved for me too.

We also signed up for their annual inspection contract, which is helpful to have our systems inspected in our old house annually. This gives us peace of mind to know and keep our systems safe and in good working order.

We needed emergency water heater replacement. Cabrillo was able to fit us in earlier than originally scheduled and replaced our old water heater (which they also installed years earlier) effortlessly. Robert was friendly, courteous and efficient!
Patrick came back a few days later to install the security pole. He was also friendly, courteous and got the job done quickly and left the job clean and neat.
We had a timing glitch which disrupted my work day, but Justin, the dispatcher, sent us an apology with complimentary movie tickets! Over the years we have relied on Cabrillo for our plumbing needs and will continue to do so.

Robert Burkett arrived right on time, quickly assessed the situation, and determined what steps needed to be taken water heater replacement and routine servicing of furnace). He also explained future maintenance that should be performed to prolong the life and enhance the performance of my water heater and furnace. His expertise was obvious, and he did an excellent job explaining things to me in terms that I could understand. He drained my current water heater, and serviced my furnace while awaiting the arrival of his senior apprentices, Eric and Josue. They were both very responsive, and worked efficiently and with attention to detail in replacing my water heater. I was very happy with the service provided today by Cabrillo.

He was able to repair my 30-year-old furnace, and update me on its condition (which is: not long for this world). He explained replacement options, and left me with a warm house and a game plan. I will be working with Cabrillo to replace my furnace, hopefully this spring.

Easy of scheduling, dispatch system, and communication was also a big plus.
Will definitely use again on other projects and repairs.

Brian from Cabrillo did an excellent job resolving our leaky kitchen sink problem -- on a Saturday morning, no less. Brian was punctual, quick, courteous, and competent. He identified the cause of the leak and adeptly replaced the faulty hardware with new hardware (that we chose on the spot using a Cabrillo iPad), which was delivered by Cabrillo Plumbing within an hour's time. To top it off, Brian was mindful to use booties and protective floor coverings and left the premises tidy and spotless. We were extremely pleased.

I'm not sure why I didn't know about Cabrillo Plumbing, Heating & Cooling before now. Got the runaround from another plumber who did not know anything about Takagi flash water heaters. Gisa called me from Cabrillo the day before to reconfirm my appointment, and Patrick arrived well within the quoted service time window. Patrick determined that the original installation of our flash water heater was incorrect done. Fortunately he was able to install new valves so he could properly flush the heater. Overall, I know Patrick saved us the additional time and expense if we were forced to buy and install a whole new flash water heater unit. I will be sure to call Cabrillo in the future for your flash water heater maintenance, and refer them to anyone who needs professional plumbing, heating or cooling service in SF or the greater Bay Area.

Have used Cabrillo Plumping for years with never a problem. The workers are always very professional and polite. If something unexpected comes up while doing the work they always explain the issue (I have a rather old house and issues just come with the age). Any work we have had done has never given us a problem. Had had over time two toilets, a hot water heater, garbage disposal, dishwasher, and a laundry sink that needed to be re-plumbed and the work is up to code and works with no issues.

We called Cabrillo on Thursday night after 7PM with a clogged kitchen sink, and Frank was at our house by 10AM Friday morning. What we thought was a routine clogged drain turned out to be a tough one! Five hours later (yes, I was starting to get nervous) and after having a colleague bring a longer, 60 foot snake, Frank's persistence paid off! Throughout the job Frank was professional, explained what he was doing, and cleaned the place spotless before he left. He was awesome and I would highly recommend both Cabrillo and Frank. I plan to use them again -- but hopefully not for a long time!

I highly recommend Cabrillo. Frank and team were extremely professional and organized. I was looking to replace my gas furnace with a ductless mini-split heat pump system. My home in SF is complex (like many homes here), and several other installers tried to talk me out of getting a heat pump. Cabrillo is very forward looking and creative and understands that heat pumps are the future of HVAC. They also installed a heat pump water heater. My gas bill is gone and my electric bill is shockingly low. I'm very happy with the system, as well as the service.

I’ve recently moved into an older condo. The water valves to the in unit washer had a slow leak. Todd B
Arrived on time and was very personal and professional. He called to order new faucets, thinking that this would take a few days to arrive. Todd decided to try a temp fix, because he did not want to leave with the cold water faucet slowly dripping. While waiting for the building manager to come and turn off the water, someone from the warehouse delivered new parts. The whole process took about 2 hours and I am thrilled not to worry every time I do the laundry! I used Cabrillo every time I have plumbing issues because I trust their technicians. Todd went beyond what I expected because of that I avoided a disaster!

Can't say enough good things about Cabrillo, particularly Brian, who came out right on time and was professional and courteous. Had one plumber look and balk at the job, but Cabrillo was expedient and didn't bat and eyelash at my situation. I needed a new water heater installed in a cramped closet, and Brian quickly figured out the best replacement for my needs and got to ordering it, replacing the old one and hauling the old one off all within a span of a couple of hours. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use Cabrillo again for my plumbing needs!

Tony came out and looked at our wall heater which has been losing its pilot flame for years especially (what we thought) was because of the high winds we experience in our area. Come to find out, it was a button that didn't stay put and he tighten it and it appears the problem is solved. Only time will tell. Tony, himself, a total professional. He was friendly, patient and spoke to me whenever I asked questions or made comments even when he was making out the paperwork. I recommend this company for heating and plumbing needs. D.M.

This is why I will always use Cabrillo. They did some work for me in December that is reviewed below - 5 Stars. Earlier this month my tenant noticed a small leak originating from the toilet. I contacted Cabrillo because frankly I trust them and knowing it was an old building realized it could be a lot worse. Cabrillo found it was a small issue. Literally a bolt need to be tightened. No Charge.

How I started working with Cabrillo.

My condo association had contracted another plumber to make repairs on our unit due to a leak. After a lengthy demolition and restoration, we turned on our water and found that the shower did not work. I had had it with the plumber the condo association was using and needed somebody to get the work done quickly. It was the worst possible timing, Monday, December 22, 3 days before Christmas. I contacted another plumber I trust who actually recommended Cabrillo. If that's not a good sign I don't know what it is.

From the moment I spoke to Justin at Cabrillo and scheduled the plumbers to fix our water valves I felt we were in good hands. There was constant communication with Justin and Gessa, which I greatly appreciated since I've must've driven them nuts by calling them at least 30 times. Once the job was done, they sent me photos and confirm that they had actually tested the line and confirm that the water was working properly.

Our building is over 100 years old so what they were able to do with new plumbing made our bathroom look brand-new.

Not only did they do a good job but they stand behind their work. A week later my condo association contacted me again to inform me of another leak in my unit. I contacted Cabrillo and they had a plumber out there within two hours and confirmed that the leak was not from our unit but from a valve from the building waterline.

Thank you Cabrillo!

Extremely high estimate. 2X of what the local providers charge. They refused to provide an itemized breakdown on the required repairs (modifications, code, etc), so that they can mark up everything. They also quoted the replacement of a part that wasn't broken, they just replace it always by standard practice ($800 value). They wanted to charge me $3K for a water heater. I got it done with a qualified and licensed technician with over 25 years experience for $1,200.
After they found out I had a home warranty, they simply walked away.

I guess that extra money goes to fancy trucks with shiny labels, pricey google ads campaigns and professional-looking uniforms.

I had an excellent experience with Robert Burkett from Cabrillo who came out to fix my furnace. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and provided me several options (regarding whether to repair or replace). Sometimes I'm wary of advice from repair companies because I figure they'll tend to select the option that's more profitable for them, but in this case Robert gave a straight answer. That sort of honesty with customers is what builds loyalty, and when it comes time to replace, I'll be going with Cabrillo again.

Also, he finished so fast with the furnace that he was able to fix my toilet in the spare time he had.

Every time they come out to fix stuff (our house is 100+ years old and so there are some repairs required upon occasion) we are impressed with the quality of the work and also just how personable the employees are.

The fact that we know the name of the guy who does the plumbing work (Dave) who's been out 6 or 7 times over the last 10 years to service our old pipes. The guys who we just met who fixed the water heater (Todd assisted by Matt) said Oh yeah Dave said you had some pretty weird, old pipes says that they are committed to providing a great customer experience and checked in to see if there were any specifics about our house.

The work was great- finished in less than an hour and our water is hot again! They are always on time. Always do a good job and we won't go with anyone else..

So...3,4 weeks ago we bought a garbage disposal and my husband planned to install it himself. He got under the sink and decided that we needed professional help because --- I'm not sure exactly why! Something to do with needing to cut a cast iron pipe. Anyway he called Cabrillo...but they couldn't come that day. We had travel plans so made an appointment for 2 weeks later, on a Monday morning. First thing that morning I called to be sure the appointment was still on, and a super friendly woman (she deserves for me to remember her name but I can't quite...Candace?) answered and assured me they'd be at my house within the hour. Sure enough they arrived --- and after a quick look told me that they couldn't put in a disposal because the plumbing inside the wall would have to be redone; expensive and they don't do that kind of work. I certainly expected to pay them for the house call but was told no charge. Loved they had booked the appointment, loved their receptionist and loved Mr. Cabrillo. Just moved into this house so it's great finding a plumber without having the horror of a clogged toilet....yet!

Carrillo Plumbing is the ONLY Plumbing company I use. Why? They answer their phone; they listen (Hi Sal!) and they employ the most professional, experienced, highly trained and heavily vetted plumbers in the industry. My dad was a plumber for 38 years and he insists on Cabrillo.

I want to express my most recent experience with Journeyman Plumber—Oliver Brodech. Oliver is the most capable young mechanically-minded plumber I have encountered. He is like a super hero incognito. Meaning, he’s analyzing the situation; Oliver is sizing-up jobs with his internal “job procedural process” that is determined to be the correct and the most advantageous course that ultimately benefits the customer!

Cabrillo sends updates and was able to move the install date a week sooner. Installation was right on time, well within the given time window, cleaned up afterwards and made sure heater was working before they left. Installers went above and beyond to make sure all openings around exterior gas lines to the heater were closed off with sheet metal and caulk, even to the heater in another flat. Would definitely recommend.

As always, Cabrillo's people did a great job of replacing my hot water heater and old valves. They brought everything up to code with flexible lines. My house might fall down in an earthquake, but my gas hot water heater will not fall over! And, they cleaned up beautifully afterward! They are a bit expensive, but I've learned you get what you pay for.

The service is outstanding!! I was very impressed with the professionalism and the honesty about price and what was needed. A very old water heater was removed. In the process the water and sludge was emptied via hose in the adjacent bathtub. I was amazed at how perfectly immaculate the bath was when the workers left. Cabrillo is not inexpensive, but every dollar spent is well spent. You get what you pay for: excellence!!

The gas valve went out on my furnace on Christmas Eve morning. I called Cabrillo and they had it squared away by noon. The technician, Frank, was about as professional as it gets and he was assisted by Oliver who picked up the needed parts before suppliers closed. It is not possible to find better service than that — especially during the holidays! Add more stars for Cabrillo. (I would also like to mention that the dispatcher, Eve, was very helpful and considerate when trying to meet my rather urgent request.)

Very responsive and professional. The technician helped solve the issue with our rental property and we only incurred the call out fee. He called after his assessment and let me know what he found. Easy to work with and very reasonable pricing.

We were very pleased with Frank who came out to check on our furnace which is now 15-yrs old. He talked to us about options going with a Heating pump that would also provide AC which we don't have. We're looking into replacing because of the move away from the high cost PG&E charges for gas.
Would definitely use Cabrillo again!

Excellent service by Cabrillo and especially their plumber Frank. I was left with a lots of problems by another plumber who did a horrible toilet install.. really a nightmare. I knew I needed a highly professional established plumber to redo the situation so I called Cabrillo.. first time but they will be my go to plumber for all future needs. On time, clean, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Frank explained everything to me. I was so grateful to them for their car and understanding of my situation. Candace was wonderful too setting up my appointment needs.

Cabrillo came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. We booked a tune up for our tankless hot water unit and heater. Tony arrived right on time, was friendly and professional, and was able to fix a few small issues with our new units. Tony wore boots every time he was inside the house, put a mat under his workspace, and wore latex gloves when touching anything in the house. He walked me through everything he was doing, and even showed me how to change our new water filter. The service exceeded my expectations.

Our water heater stopped working Sunday morning. I tried troubleshooting it myself but did not get anywhere. I called Cabrillo in the evening, and got a callback within 30 minutes. They gave me an appointment for Monday morning at 8:30am. In the morning I got a message saying the technician would arrive at 9:30am. The technician did arrive at 9:30am, checked the water heater and said it needed the gas controller replaced. The price for the replacement made me gulp, but we needed to get on with our lives, so I said go ahead. The replacement part arrived in about 20 minutes, and the work was completed in another 30 minutes. Throughout the whole process there was lots of polite, respectful communication, I completely understood what was happening, and the job was completed cleanly with no mess. I was really happy the problem was solved so quickly.

Brian was my technician and couldn't have asked for better. Cabrillo is the utmost in professionalism, workmanship, timeliness and speed. If you're looking for a quality plumbing company, Cabrillo is the real deal!
And.....their trucks are even wearing masks! I loved they put masks on all Mr. Cabrillo's!

This is a professional company. I have used them on three occasions. They show up on time, do the work for the price they tell you, and the work is top notch.

David of Cabrillo Plumbing & Heating recently changed our washing machine's water supply hose, fixed a water leak and set up our refrigerator's ice maker & filtered water component. David, who has done work for us in the past, is friendly, polite, on time, does a very good job & he cleans up after himself. If you need a plumber, go with Cabrillo. We have always been very satisfied with their work & prices.

Brian Bufford is very knowledgeable and helpful. He was careful to leave the areas (3 bathrooms) where he worked tidy and clean. He came to the door smartly dressed in a white uniform trimmed in red with matching red covers for his shoes. He was careful to explain what caused the plumbing problems and patiently answered questions. As soon as we recover from the price of doing business we will have the company back to address another issue that we skipped this time. The adage “you get heat you pay for” is true and it’s not wise to skimp on addressing leaky sinks and difficulties flushing toilets. Thank you Cabrillo for sending Brian.

Brian was efficient, on time and did a great job. I recommend Cabrillo Plumbing to my friends but most my friends might not be able to afford them as they are expensive.
