We had a sewer line blockage at a new property. Background:A service technician from a national chain was not able to properly diagnose or resolve our issue in a day despite $5k in expenses for snake, camera, and hydro-jett. FWIW, they eventually sent us a next phase $30k estimate. We talked with local friends and got a referral to Corey. Corey and his team were able to diagnose and resolve the issue in a day for less than we paid the other company for their initial single day services. Many thanks to Corey and his team for taking on this work. You guys did a knock out job on the problem. You helped me answer lingering questions and feel at ease that we picked the right crew even before you started work. read more

Recently we remodeled a house here in SLO and we needed to replace the main sewer lateral from the house to the City's sewer main in the street. We also decided to redo the aged galvanized water supply line to and upgrade the City's water meter. The sewer lateral replacement is somewhat straightforward in terms of finding plumbing contractors who could do it, and the cost is partially offset by the City through a credit. However, replacing the water supply line is more challenging. Both our plumber and contractor said it was a challenging job City's main water line under pressure. There are only a couple of local contractors who can do both jobs and identifying them is a bit of a "unicorn hunt". There is insurance, easement permits, traffic control, and more importantly familiarity with the City's utilities. Coastal Construction and Engineering checked all of the boxes and our experience was great from start to finish. The owner (Corey Sarros) showed up as scheduled and provided a bid onsite for both jobs. Pricing for this type of work is not inexpensive but reflects the extensive excavation, care needed for hook-ups to City infrastructure, multiple inspections, etc. Based on our investigations the price we received was very fair for the work required for our job and competitive with other specialty plumbing contractors. Scheduling was prompt and work started as promised. The work crew were hard working, experienced and knowledgeable about all aspects of processes in terms of the City's infrastructure. Corey was onsite daily to check-in on progress as well as coordinate inspections. From beginning to end this was a professional and positive business experience with great service. We now have a new 1" water supply line and a brand-new sewer lateral thanks to Coastal Construction and Engineering. Highly recommend them. read more

We own a split-level house built in the 1950s here in SLO and our sewer lateral from the house to the City's sewer main in the street needed replacement and the water supply line was also in poor shape. The sewer lateral replacement is relatively straightforward in terms of finding plumbing contractors who could do it, albeit at some cost. Replacing the water supply line is more difficult. The existing water supply was coming to the house through a 68-year-old galvanized pipe that was filled with heavy rust and sediment build up that limited its volume. To replace it required a plumbing contractor that could do what is called a "hot tap". Basically, it means that the new supply line is put in place while the City's water main is active--there is no water shutoff while the connection is established. People who can do this specialized work are limited. We chose to use a local company that has this expertise called Coastal Construction and Engineering for both jobs and they were truly standout as plumbing contractors. The owner (Corey Sarros) showed up as scheduled and provided a bid for the work within 24 hours. Pricing was not cheap, but it was fair for the work required for our job and competitive with other specialty plumbing contractors. Scheduling was prompt and work started as promised. The day before the work the Company put in place all the traffic control the City requires and staged the heavy excavation equipment necessary for the job. The work crew (3 guys on average per day) were hard working, focused and knowledgeable about the City's infrastructure as they successfully located all of main sewer and water supplies despite a lack of accurate mapping from the City for this purpose. There were several challenges in the process that arose in the course of the project and Coastal successfully navigated all of the difficulties. In summary I cannot say enough positive things about the owner Corey who was regularly on-site supervising progress, working alongside his crew at times and providing great communication as well as follow through. From beginning to end this was a professional and positive business experience with great service. We now have a new 1" water supply line and a brand-new sewer lateral thanks to Coastal Construction and Engineering. read more

Corey came out on a windy, rainy Sunday afternoon to look at my job. My circumstances changed, and I did not require the services, but I very much appreciated the attention to customer service provided by Coastal Construction & Engineering. read more
