Meet Charlie Gonzales.
Licensed plumber. San Diego resident. Serving homeowners and businesses since 1983.
For more than four decades, Charlie Gonzales has built his reputation one customer at a time. From residential repairs and water heaters to commercial plumbing systems and new construction projects, his commitment has remained the same: do quality work, treat people fairly, and stand behind every job.
My plumbing journey started in 1983.
My name is Charlie Gonzales, and I began my plumbing career in 1983.
I completed my apprenticeship training through the Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC), where I learned the importance of doing things correctly, paying attention to details, and taking pride in quality workmanship.
After completing my apprenticeship, I attended contractor school and earned my California C-36 Plumbing Contractor License.
Over the years, I have worked on everything from simple residential repairs to large commercial projects throughout San Diego County.
While the projects have changed, the goal has always stayed the same: provide honest recommendations, quality workmanship, and dependable service that customers can trust.
More than 40 years of hands-on experience.
Plumbing isn't something I learned from a book. It's something I've spent decades doing every day.
This experience allows me to quickly identify problems, recommend practical solutions, and complete work that is built to last.
The details matter.
One thing I've learned over the years is that shortcuts almost always create bigger problems later.
That's why I believe in taking the extra time to inspect the system properly, explain the options clearly, and complete every job with attention to detail.
Whether it's a water heater installation, leak repair, remodel project, or complete plumbing system, I approach every project with the same mindset:
Do it right the first time.
- Honest Recommendations
- Quality Workmanship
- Clear Communication
- Long-Term Solutions
- Professional Service
Why customers continue to call American Plumbing.
Most of my business comes from referrals, repeat customers, and recommendations from people I've worked with over the years. People call back because they know what to expect.

Quality Workmanship
Repairs and installations completed with long-term reliability in mind.
Personal Service
When you call, you're working directly with an experienced plumbing professional — not a call center.
A reputation built one customer at a time.
For more than four decades, American Plumbing has grown through trust, referrals, and long-term customer relationships.
I'm grateful for every homeowner, property manager, business owner, and family that has trusted me with their plumbing needs.
That trust is something I work hard to earn on every job.
