Property maintenance
A licensed plumbing contractor for your portfolio — and, because we also hold General Building, one contract for the property scopes that cross a trade boundary.
CSLB #1159930B — General Building · C-36 — Plumbing
Why this exists
A rental portfolio does not generate plumbing problems in isolation. A unit needs a water heater, a turn needs finishing before Friday, and the repair that follows a leak is rarely confined to the pipe that caused it. Most owners handle that by stacking up vendors and hoping the sequencing works out.
RePlumbify is a plumbing contractor. We also hold General Building on the same license, and we use it for one purpose: to take a property scope that crosses a trade boundary as a single contract, so the work is sequenced by one accountable party instead of coordinated by you.
Where we stop, and why we say so
California makes it a misdemeanor to advertise construction work in a classification you do not hold. Not to perform it — to advertise it. And a disclaimer does not fix it: the statute reaches advertising "with or without any limiting qualifications."
So you will not find a menu on this page listing eight trades under one license number. What you will find is exactly what we are licensed to do, named specifically, and an honest description of how we handle everything else.
When a property manager sees a vendor advertising every trade on a two-classification license, that is information about the vendor. Usually it means nobody there has read the statute. Occasionally it means somebody has and decided not to care. Neither is the kind of vendor you want on a work order for your property.
Complete scopes, one contractor
Our General Building classification lets us take a property scope that crosses a trade boundary as a single contract — self-performing the plumbing, and engaging appropriately licensed specialty contractors for the balance under that contract. One company, one schedule, one invoice, and one accountable party for the finished result.
Ask us about a specific scope and we will tell you in writing what we self-perform, who holds the license for the rest, and what we can commit to. We would rather give you that answer before a work order is issued than after.
Scope
What we perform, by classification
Named specifically, because a vendor list that says “general repairs” tells a property manager nothing.

Everything else
Scopes that cross a trade boundary
Where a property scope crosses a trade boundary, our General Building classification lets us take it as one contract instead of leaving you to coordinate several — self-performing what our classifications cover, and engaging appropriately licensed specialty contractors for the balance. One contract, one point of contact, one invoice.
Ask us about a specific scope and we will tell you plainly which parts we self-perform, which parts go to a specialty contractor, and who carries the license for each. That answer should be in writing before you sign anything, from any vendor.
How we work with portfolios
The parts nobody puts on a website
Your approval limit, in writing first
Tell us the authorization limit that applies and we will confirm in writing what we can work to before anything is scheduled. Nothing about how your account runs gets assumed from a web page.
Entry notice built into the schedule
Your notice obligation to residents sets the schedule. We work to it rather than around it, so you can give accurate notice once instead of twice.
Documentation as a deliverable
Photographs of the failure and the finished work, written findings, and a record that stays with the property. Owners, insurers and asset managers all eventually ask.
One record per property
Standard fixture specifications, access notes, shutoff locations and service history stay with the account across every property you manage.
A stated license boundary
Every job comes with a clear answer on who holds the license for each part of it. That is what protects you in an audit, not a logo on a truck.
Intake
Tell us about the property
Unit count, entry-notice requirement, approval limits, vendor requirements and billing contact. Tell us how your properties actually run and we will answer, in writing, what we can meet.

Questions
What property managers ask
What classifications does RePlumbify actually hold?
B — General Building, and C-36 — Plumbing, both on California license #1159930. We list them plainly because a property manager deserves to know exactly what a vendor is licensed to do, and because it is the honest answer to the question everyone asks third.
Can you handle a scope that needs trades outside those classifications?
Yes. As a licensed general building contractor we take on complete renovation and make-ready projects spanning several trades. Where a scope calls for work outside our own classifications, we engage appropriately licensed specialty contractors and manage them under our contract — so you deal with one company, one schedule and one invoice instead of five vendors.
Why do some property maintenance companies list every trade and you do not?
Because California makes it a misdemeanor to advertise construction work in a classification you do not hold, and a subcontractor disclaimer does not cure it. A vendor listing eight trades on one license is telling you something about how carefully they read their own obligations. We would rather be the vendor whose paperwork survives an audit.
Do you work on a purchase order, and what are your billing terms?
Tell us your purchase-order requirement and any not-to-exceed authorization limit in the intake below. We will tell you in writing what we can and cannot accommodate before anything is scheduled, rather than agreeing to a term on a website and renegotiating it later.
Do you handle recurring maintenance across several properties?
That is the point of this side of the business. Property records, standard fixture specifications, access notes and service history stay with the account, so you are not re-explaining a building every time you call.
