Rey and his team did a great job installing a new heat pump to replace an ineffective furnace at my new home. I got a few bids for the job and LCPH was more competitive than the rest, including the extra work of moving the location of my heating unit from a closet to the crawl space so it takes up less room and is quieter (Rey's suggestion). They were efficient and professional and got the job done quickly and done right. Rey was available to answer all my many questions. I will not hesitate to call Rey again when I need to replace my water heater in a few years.
The crawl space and detached garage under my home flooded during the recent round of extreme weather. In addition to spending time manually pumping water out of my garage, my furnace went out due to being submerged in water. Despite being incredibly busy with neighbors having similar issues, Rey responded quickly, got my furnace up and running, and put together a sump pump and drainage plan to mitigate future flooding. As soon as we had a dry day, Rey and his efficient and friendly team installed the sump and drainage. For the first time in weeks, I didn't spend time during/after heavy rains pumping water out of my garage - it was dry as a bone! Rey's pricing was very fair and he and his team have been great to work with. I highly recommend this business.
Around 2010 they donated a tankless Noritz water heater to the Redwood Heights Elementary School auction and we bought it. He replaced our water main for a reasonable price and installed the heater in our basement near the shower, freeing up space in the garage. Relocating the washer & dryer in 2013 we built a 1/2 bath there in the garage! The unit has worked well for 12 years, and now we are getting it checked for the first time. I recommend Ray Lacayo and Lacayo-Colt pluming.
This guy is a total scammer on top of doing terrible work. He screwed up my heating install so bad and when I called him to come out he lost his temper and called me all kinds of names. I Hired a true professional to come out and fix his shoddy work and when I told him the price that Ray charged me, he couldn't believe it. He said that was double what it should have cost. So not only did I pay double, I had to pay a true professional to come and fix the mess he made. He had a strong body odor. To add insult to injury, he bumped into my retaining wall and dented his van when he was leaving. I'm not sure if he has a drinking problem or what. He also left a huge mess behind that I had to clean up. This guy is all bad stay away
We have hired Rey over the years and have always been happy. He did a lot of plumbing on our house when we first moved into our home over ten years ago. We have had many projects over the years and even some emergencies. Old house old pipes. He has always been there for us! Five stars!
