Caballero team did about 4+ jobs for me and my family in 6 months (def more to come). This team is the best I've worked with by far. Mike and entire staff are so knowledgeable they taught me many things. Uniforms, trucks, equipment, and WORK are immaculate like major OCD(major compliment no complaints lol).their customer service and personalities are the cherry on top. We moved here in Manalapan 8 months ago. Caballero is our go to from now on

Had a energy inspection from NJ Gas, and the inspector detected a gas leak in my basement, forcing a shut off of gas to my house, producing no heat or hot water until it was repaired. Called Caballero at 12:30 and spoke to a very professional and informed dispatcher who told me he would out me on the emergency repair list. Guys came at 3:15 and finished at 4. Dominick and Rich mapped out three alternative repair scenarios and with cutting and connecting a new gas pipe, were finished with the cheaper and most efficient repair in 35 minutes.

These guys were very friendly, professional and talked to you like human beings. Charge was for the flat repair call, materials and time spent, which amounted to $183. This company is the best and it will be my "go to" plumber forever.

I had such a great experience with Caballero Brothers. I recently installed a bathroom in my basement and I decided to tile the bathtub myself. When their team came to perform the final install, they pointed out that I didnt cut the spout hole large enough. Whereas most companies would leave and tell me that I need to fix the issue myself, Mike Caballero Jr. helped me cut the hole larger himself.

Even though it wasn't something on their agenda for that day, he took the extra time to make sure we fixed the issue correctly. I'm very happy with the job they did and I would 100% use Caballero brothers again in the future.

JP and John came out to the house, actually arrived early, which is always appreciated. Upon review, what we originally thought hammering pipes, turned out to actually be unstrapped lines throughout the crawl space. They very easily could have sold me on something that wasn't needed, but were professional and honest. I found my go-to plumbing service and they earned a loyal customer in return. Would highly recommend Caballero!

I had some work done in my home several months ago. When I was paying the bill, I handed the plumber my Manalapan 1st card. The bill was for almost $300. A certain percentage of this bill is to come back to the customer (in this case, me) in the form of a discount on our property taxes. It was not included in my taxes. I called them and I was told that because I paid with a credit card, I was not entitled to get this applied to my taxes.

I then asked why I wasn't informed of that at the time of payment and the answer he gave me was that "he probably didn't know". I suggested that he tell his employees about it in the future. He said "o.k.". That was it. No offer to make things even partially right. Honestly, this is the first time Caballaro has ever disappointed me, but I can assure you that it is the last.

I don't blame their employees, but I do hold the company to higher standards than this. I am positive that there are other plumbing services that are just as good and I will use one of them in the future.

Caballlero & Sons was fast, responsive, and courteous. I was impressed with their professionalism and helpfulness. Gino went above and beyond to help with our plumbing issues. I will definitely be calling them for future plumbing assistance. Services: Repair faucet, Cleaning

I want to recommend Caballero & Sons for their amazing service! The ceiling in the new home we just moved into was leaking and Bryan V from Caballero came in and quickly diagnosed the multiple issues creating this problem in the master shower. The master shower is back and running, and I wanted to thank Caballero & Sons for their help! They responded fast, everyone was very nice, they respected the house and were very tidy, and they got the job done! I would highly recommend! Maura T

We used this business for a minor repair last year. We used this business again in early 2021 for install of a water heater. Two great guys installed the heater with little notice and just before a snow storm. I was very concerned about the ensuing storm (and having the work done before the snow), and also worried about having people in the house due to the pandemic.

The installers wore masks the entire time. They worked cleanly and professionally and did the installation very well! And they were so nice! We were so happy! When I'd asked for a recommendation for a plumbing business on the Manalapan Facebook group page, Caballero & Sons was recommended repeatedly! Another plug for this business - Although the township staff is not supposed to comment on a particular business, when I'd called them to schedule the inspection, one of the employees there mentioned that this business does great work!

We have used them for many years. They always seem to be able to solve our plumbing problems. They clean up after themselves very well & try to get the work done as fast as possible.

I had a complete bathroom remodel, and remediation of and repair of a pipe leak in my kitchen. The plumbers from Caballero were outstanding! Their work was completely professional, and prompt. I would recommend them for any work you need to have done! Can't thank you enough.

Absolutely incredible company and AMAZING staff work there! It's very overwhelming and unsettling when you have a plumbing issue. But Caballero & Sons eased my worries and they were here to fix the issue within the first hour of calling them. They sent somebody out immediately. Absolutely awesome company and wish I could give more than 5 stars!

This morning I called Caballero & Sons for help with a leaking toilet that I tried to repair myself and ran into problems with. I could not have asked for a faster response to my call. I received great service at a very reasonable cost. John was professional and courteous. I am very happy and will continue to use Caballero & Sons for my plumbing needs.

I've been using these guys for years and they've always done good work. And their prices were historically very competitive. Lately, however, they've gotten out of control with their prices. Most recently, I had them over to unclog a shower drain. So that was a $70 "trip charge" + 180/hr. labor (with a half hour minimum despite also having the duplicative trip charge).

The final insult was the "snaking" fee which they charged to actually unclog the drain! That's like a carpenter charging extra for using a hammer. All in all, the bill came to more than $200 for a 10 minute job. They have now lost me as a customer.

Have a second-floor condo unit, had a leak that was affecting my downstairs neighbor ceiling. They came in had to cut into my downstairs neighbor ceiling but found the leak and repaired it it very quickly. They were prompt, professional, quick and did excellent work, price was reasonable I would have no issues with calling them again for my plumbing needs

Can't say enough good things about Caballero & Sons. They came out on a Saturday morning and made the necessary repairs to my water heater that was out of code compliance. They explained in detail all the work that needed to be done and why. After the work was completed they reviewed everything and made sure I was satisfied before they packed up left. First class and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing plumbing work.

If I could give more stars I would. Called at 930am and had a brand new installed water heater by 330pm. Price came out cheaper than what they estimated. The plumbers that came were courteous and explained everything in detail. They covered the entire area with runners including the steps (water heater is on the second floor). They came in removed the old and installed the new in 2 hours and kept everything clean and neat. The plumbers that came were super professional and friendly. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone! This is my new go to plumber!

Hired these guys for a permit issue with town. They were ok with the initial repair or code compliance issue with the town for my water heater. They originally quoted me a fee of $400.00 which was supposed to include the permit fee. Ok great.get it in writing. Because they sent me a bill for the fee even though I had already paid it. They owe me $66 bucks.

They were also supposed to include on the same permit a spa tub in my master bath that was looked at.now they know I am under the gun with the township to get this done quick.1 week later, I find out they did not add the spa to the permit.after several calls and them promising to resubmit proper paperwork and a call from my agent who recommended them they finally put the paperwork in.but held me hostage for a $250.00 fee w/out permit fee. Watch out for these guys. Go somewhere else.

I've been using Caballero for the past 15 years, and they are always prompt and get the job done quickly and completely. For emergencies they'll fit me in same day and cheerfully solve my plumbing issues.

I had an appointment t 3pm with Caballeros and Sons. At 3:10 I called just to make sure they hadn't forgotten about me. No problem. The woman who answered said she could see the driver was 8 minutes away. Over 20 minutes later, I called and asked if they needed directions, and was told he was at another job and I was next. Granted it was a rainy Friday with a lot of traffic.

But the driver didn't come until two hours later. What bothered me is that no one ever called me to let me know, I had to call each time to see what was up. When I called, no one was apologetic about the wait time or the incorrect info I had gotten. About the price- when I was shopping around for prices to get my heater checked out, I was first told it was a free estimate and no charge if nothing was wrong. Hours later, I thought that was weird, so I called back to check, and now I was told it would cost me 79.00 for the service call.

After they came, they called me to come pick up the paperwork and said to bring 187 dollars! I told them my story and a manager called me back. He gave me no break. He prefered to just let me start over with a different company and to throw out my paperwork. Again NO kindness or apology for staff telling me three different things. I never showed my anger. I just yelped instead. Look elsewhere. Try Liberty Air in Jackson. Excellent people and service.

Thank you to Joe and techs for a job well done. Had emergency situation where town accidently ruptured homeowner ( my mom's) water line and homeowner was without water for over four days. Showed up quickly, very professional and everything was done to their written specifications. Efficient and thorough and made sure everything was clean and orderly when they left. Impressed with how they treated senior female homeowner. Would highly recommend.

Had Caballero & Sons at my house on 3/20 for a house drain backup that was causing water to come back into my basement. After listening to my problem for 15 minutes, the plumber told me he wont be able to do anything to fix it and most likely a whole new line would need to be run out to the basin (across my entire yard). He told me the owner would need to come out and give me an estimate.

He also charged me about $65 for coming out to my house to tell me he cant do anything. The owner was scheduled to come by on Saturday, March 28th. Spent half my Saturday waiting. To add insult to injury, no one showed up or called. The problem was eventually fixed by Roto Rooter who manually snaked the PVC pipe and elbow that led outside. No need to run new pipe across the yard. I refuse to chase people down to give them my money. It took $65 but it was a lesson well learned. Call someone else.

I had a leak in my my upstairs bathroom that dripped through my downstairs kitchen high hat lights. Called Caballero & Sons and was told they were booked solid, but would try and fit me in. A half hour later we received a call that someone would be here in 10 minutes. It turns out the valves on the sink were leaking. The tech was fast, efficient and courteous. 45 minutes later the job was complete. The price was amazing. It was only $207.70 which included parts. What a steal for what was done. I highly recommend Caballero & Sons.

We called them during normal day time hours, but over the weekend. I was told plumbers always respond on weekends, since this is when things most often happen and people need their help, not when people are at work. Nobody picked up the phone! We are local to Freehold/Manalapan area and knowing that your local plumber will be there for you was important in the past.

I think concept of local plumber is not really working. Local plumber is overpriced, spoiled and does not value the customer. We have seen another local plumber (aka "family friend") came over recently and quickly charged us double price for replacing a kitchen faucet. I could probably buy a used car for the price of his visit. This was a lesson learned.

We just called Doctor Rooter and they immediately responded and gave us 1 hr estimate. Plumber came as promised and was very nice. We will be replacing the broken pump and will probably do few more things. Overall, our first experience with Doctor Rooter is good and we will be relying on them going forward, trying to avoid local neighborhood plumbers, mainly for reliability, high pricing and low availability.

I called Caballero & Sons to have a plumber install a new faucet. That's it -- a simple new faucet! After an hour, he determined the faucet was defective -and- was unable to finish the job. Yet, he asked me to sign his papers that indicate "the job is complete to my satisfaction".and pay $213.00. I'm about to sue this company. Caballero & Son is an example of why these companies have such a shady reputation.

Shows up on time, fair prices, friendly people, finishes work when they say they will. And unlike so many contractors/repair people, they don't talk down to women!

I have used this outfit several times in recent years for small and medium size jobs. I don't know how they are for big jobs. They show up when they say they will. The work gets done properly, and if there is a problem, they make it right. I don't feel that they try anything devious. They are polite and pleasant to deal with. This seems to be a well-run business, and I like dealing with them.
