What we do

General contracting, specializing in plumbing.

Hire trades one at a time and you become the project manager — chasing five companies who never speak to each other, each one pointing at the last guy when something goes wrong. That is the problem a general contractor exists to solve. You get one number and one company that owns the result.

The people I send to your home

I don’t hand your house to whoever answers the phone. Every tradesperson on a Home Crafters job is someone I’ve chosen myself — people I know, people I’ve vetted, and people I trust. They’re licensed and insured, and they hold their work to the same standard I hold mine.

I set up the schedule and the permits, I check the work, and I stand behind every job no matter whose hands did it. You never have to chase anybody. From the first call to the final walkthrough, you deal with me.

— Eric Flores, Owner

Service plans

Catch it in the fall, not at 2am in January.

Most of what we get called out for in an emergency was visible months earlier. A service plan puts us in your house on a schedule, so the small things get found while they are still small.

Winter Check

One visit · January or February

$129a year about $11 a month

The only time of year the trouble shows itself. Cold weather finds the weak spots for us.

  • Walk the house while it is actually cold — the pipes running cold show up
  • Crawlspaces, exterior walls and unheated rooms checked where freezes start
  • Heat tape and pipe insulation tested, not just looked at
  • Hairline freeze splits found before the thaw turns them into a burst
  • Water heater checked while it is working its hardest
  • A written report with photos, so you know what you have
  • 10% off any repair we do that year

Spring & Fall

Most households Two visits · spring and autumn

$229a year about $19 a month

The standard. One visit to open the house up, one to shut it down before the freeze.

  • Autumn: hose bibs shut off, drained and checked for freeze damage
  • Spring: hose bibs opened and tested, winter damage caught early
  • Water heater inspected, flushed, and the relief valve tested
  • Every shut-off valve in the house found, labelled and tested
  • Under every sink — supply lines, traps, signs of a slow leak
  • Sump pump tested under load, before the season it matters
  • Water pressure tested — high pressure quietly destroys fixtures
  • Two written reports, and we track what changed since last time
  • 15% off any repair, and you go to the front of the schedule

Year Round

Three visits · spring, autumn, winter

$349a year about $29 a month

Everything in Spring & Fall, plus the winter stop while the cold is showing us where the weak spots are.

  • Everything in Spring & Fall
  • Plus the full Winter Check in the coldest part of the year
  • Main drain and sewer line checked for the slow build-up that ends in a backup
  • Three reports a year, building a real history of your plumbing
  • 15% off any repair, and you go to the front of the schedule

Billed once a year. Your plan year starts the day you sign up — not in January — and the visits are scheduled around the seasons.

How it works

No surprises, in four steps.

Every job runs the same way, whether it's a hose bib or a repipe.

You call

A person picks up. You describe the problem, we tell you if it's something we handle and roughly what it takes.

We look

We come out, find the actual cause, and photograph what we find — including anything already wrong before we touched it.

You get it in writing

A written price before any work starts. If the job turns out bigger once it's open, you approve the change before we keep going.

We finish and clean up

Permits closed, inspection passed, photos of the finished work, and the space left cleaner than we found it.

Tell us what’s going on.

Written estimates, no charge. Send photos first and take 10% off the job.
