CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING "They are Assertive, Communicative, and diligent. My highest recommendations! Primewest Plumbing is a 5-star plumbing company!"

"Irish and his associate Ryder were very good at communicating, even over a weekend, and although I initially thought the project was an easy drain clearing, 2 other plumbers failed to come up with an appropriate plan. Ryder made every effort to find a cheaper way to solve the problem, and only when those did not work, did he resort to a more complicated solution and at that stage he also worked to help keep our costs down. I appreciated the timeliness, thoughtfulness, and his clear and precise communication which also highlighted how experienced he was with this particular plumbing issue."

Business began in 1980, serving the Long Island, New York area. Relocated to southern California in 2001. Licensed over 35 years as a remodeling contractor. I assure complete customer satisfaction by personally working on and/or managing every project.

"Robert is the best contractor we’ve ever had! His attention to detail and his craftsmanship are stellar. Over the years, he has redone our kitchen, our bathroom, and recently he built us a loft bedroom in our daughters’ room. He raised the ceilings from 8 to 12 feet and the results are amazing! He built us a beautiful hard maple ladder from scratch and made a metal pipe railing for the loft as well. He added lighting and plywood in our attic for easy storage. He added a ceiling fan and new electrical/usb outlets throughout. He even added fun led color lights under the loft bed to add a cool lighting effect to the room. My daughters absolutely love their new space! We also had him design and build us a gorgeous floating bookshelf for our dining room and we could not be happier with it! It’s so amazing to have a beautiful space to display our books. We would 100% recommended Robert for all of your remodeling projects!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.
