About

Wise Monkey Repipe And Construction runs as a family owned general contractor out of Elk Grove. They focus on residential repiping and replumbing work across the Sacramento area with copper and PEX piping. The business handles full house repipes, Kitec pipe replacement, slab leak repair and detection, plus the drywall mud, texture and paint that finishes each job so walls look untouched. Their Google profile lists 35 plus years combined experience in residential construction and over 20 years specifically in repipes, and they provide free estimates.

Homeowners call them for whole house repipes on old galvanized steel or defective Kitec systems that cause leaks and low pressure. Several jobs started with sudden ceiling leaks or slab leaks that other companies could not fix without a full repipe. Crews replace the pipes, restore water pressure, and handle the drywall patching and paint matching afterward. Reviewers name Kellen for running the projects, with Todd, Will, Chris and others on the repipe and drywall crews. One customer noted the team installed new faucets at no charge after pressure increased and fixed minor post job issues quickly.

They respond fast, with one crew starting work 16 hours after keys were handed over. Kellen stays in touch throughout each job, answers questions on materials and timelines, and keeps the schedule on track. Reviewers mention fair pricing compared with other bids, daily cleanup that leaves the house neat, and work completed without extra contractors needed for finishing. The company covers Sacramento, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Roseville, Rocklin and nearby spots, and they work on both raised foundation and slab homes.

The business shows a 4.9 Google rating and dozens of five star reviews that repeat the same points on clean work, solid communication, included drywall repair and competitive costs. Customers describe the crews as punctual, respectful and experienced at minimizing disruption during repipes.

What Customers Say

“My experience started with a leak in my ceiling on a Sunday late evening. In a panic I called an engineer friend, who recommended I shut the house water from the main, and call a plumbing company in the morning. On my request he gave me a company name to start with. I called 2 companies that morning, I said they can come check on the leak, the other said since it was not an emergency they could come out a day after. the 1st company tech came and after hours of trying to repair it finally told me it was Kitec and they can only repipe, not repair. Also both companies gave me a quote just for the repipe and said they don't do any of the dryfall work. Afer I found out about the kitec, a bell rang in my brain about my son in law in Canada talking about it 5 yrs or so ago and that they had to get their Condo repiped as well. So I called him bec I was so overwhelmed by this whold project scope. He goggled and gave me a couple of piping company names that did the piping and the rest of the repair work as well. I called Kellen, he came in about 1/2 hour, as soon as he entered, he told me he didn't even need to go through the house to see all the connecting because he had retrofitted the sam”

“Wise Monkey repiped our entire house. We had Kitec pipes so we knew at some point they would need to be replaced. After doing extensive research and receiving numerous bids, we were happy we chose Wise Monkey for the job. The crew was professional, considerate, and experienced. Kellen was amazing to work with and we knew we were in good hands with him and his team! If you’re looking to get your house repiped, I highly recommend this company!”

Laura McGaffigan

“COURTEOUS PROFESSIONAL & KNOWLEDGEABLE Our home had old corroded pipes so we needed a full water pipe replacement. After several quotes, we chose Wise Monkey for their great level of professionalism and expertise as well as a very fair price. The work performed was very high quality and completed on schedule. Kellen and the team at Wise Monkey were always punctual and communicated with us at every step. The Wise Monkey team also patched and repainted the walls after repiping was finished, saving us the headache of finding another contractor to do this work. I would highly recommend Wise Monkey!!”

Jeffrey Pantoja

“Exceeded my expectations with 100% satisfaction and worth every penny! I think I'm about to be long-winded because I have many positive things to say about Wise Monkey, the best, easy going service people I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with... Ten years ago I bought a 1957 house on a raised foundation that had old galvanized pipes. I wasn't having any problems yet, but I was tired of rusty water and worrying about the inevitable replacement of my rusting pipes and decided to be proactive instead of waiting for a potentially catastrophic leak. I did lots of research of the repipe processes including best practices, preferred materials, building codes and such, as well as exploring repipe companies on the contractors' license board, the Better Business Bureau and endless online reviews. Three quotes is always recommended and prudent, however, after the first four quotes, all from reputable companies, I just wasn't hearing the entire package I was hoping for. All the price quotes, scope of work, materials and warranties were so different from one another. These companies had different offers and expectations, such as requiring me to get and to pay for permits and”

“Kellen and his team were amazing!! They were super professional and quick with the repipe! They were able to get started just 16 hours after we got the keys! Great pricing and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a Kitec repipe!”

Hailey Kanowsky

“Kellan and his team at Wise Monkey are THE BEST. Professional, responsible, knowledgeable, and friendly. We needed to have our whole house repiped, due to the fact we had Kitec pipes and we wanted to be proactive. Kellan was easily able to answer all our questions and it was immediately obvious he knew this business well. His quote and timeline were very reasonable and fit our schedule. The team doing the repiping was on-time and worked quickly. At the end of each day, they cleaned up and left our house and their work supplies neat and tidy. The drywall and painting crew was equally hard-working and respectful. And the work they did was impeccable! You can’t even tell a hole was ever there! We HIGHLY recommend Wise Monkey for any repipe work you need done. You will not be disappointed!”

Karen Thomas-Brandt

“Kellen, Will, Mike, Chris, Steven, Dylan, Oscar, Todd and Christine from Wise Monkey are rockstars!! From the very beginning of my home repipe and main line replacement, the team answered any questions I had regarding the products being used. Now I have a constant level of water pressure throughout the house and some new spigots for my garden. Thanks again to all the crew. 100% would recommend Wise Monkey's service for your repipe needs.”

Josh Carranza

“I hired this company for a full house repipe and it was by far the best experience I’ve had with hiring a contractor for my home. They went above and beyond with making sure everything turned out great and their crew was extremely professional and respectful. Their pricing was very fair and I appreciated that I had a single point of contact that kept in touch throughout the process. This company was highly recommended in my area and I can see why.”

“Wise Monkey did an incredible job repiping our house. They offered the lowest quote out of every single plumber I called, and they offered the best service imaginable from start to finish, including getting permits, patching up the holes, and repainting the wall to match the existing wall paint. We didn't have to worry about a thing! They also went out of their way to promptly address minor issues we had after they repiped our house, and they even installed new faucets for us, free of charge, when our old faucets started dripping because of the increase in water pressure from the new pipes. If you find yourself in a similar boat of needing to repipe your house, I 100% recommend Wise Monkey,”

Divya Shiv

“Kellen, Todd, Will, and the crew that did my supply pipe upgrade were truly professional!! Not only did they do what they said they would, they went above and beyond to make sure the job was right and I was happy. Which I totally am! I can't recommend these guys enough. I deal with contractors daily with my business and these guys are legit! I did my research, and if you're reading this, you don't have to. Just call up Wise Monkey Repipe & Construction and you're all set! Very competitive pricing, excellent workmanship, top notch service, great employees. What more do you need?”

“We had an excellent experience with our recent whole-house repipe with Wise Monkey, and I can’t recommend them enough! Kellen, Chris, and Will were incredibly professional—quick, clean, and efficient. They got the job done fast and took great care to minimize disruption in our home. After the repipe, Todd and Christina handled the drywall repair and paint, and their work was just as impressive. Everything looks seamless—as if nothing was ever touched! If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and respectful crew for a repipe job, this is the team to call. We’re so glad we chose them!”

Rachel Cacho

“Superb! The best experience I have ever had with a contractor. This business has the re-piping process down to a science. Hardworking and pleasant guys. From the owners to the employees , everyone on the job was skilled and knowledgeable. I did not fully believe it when the owner told me there would be no physical trace of their work once they were done re-piping my home, but he was right. There is absolutely no trace of Wise Monkey having been in my house. Their wall patching, paint matching and clean-up skills are truly remarkable. More importantly, the re-pipe job was skillfully done and on time. I highly recommend this company.”

Michael Adams

“I am very happy with the work wise monkey Repipe did to my house in Folsom. We found out during our new home inspection that our pipes were kitec which is something that we didn’t like/want and we had heard the nightmare story of water leaks because of it. so we decided to change all the plumbing and repipe the place. Wise monkey Kellen and his crew of Todd/stephen handled business for sure! They were always on time, professional and finished the job early. Kellen always kept me in the loop and their pricing was better than others! Plus they gave a lifetime warranty! They did everything I wanted/needed and I would highly recommend them to anyone changing their kitec plumbing or Repiping anything in general! 2 thumbs up”

Philip Knowles

“We had to get a repipe done because of a leak under the slab. Insurance wouldn't cover it so we had to pay out of pocket. Not only were these guys considerably less expensive than a lot of other companies, they were efficient, dependable & professional. In places they had to get into the walls, they textured & paint matched so you'd never know there was work done. I'd definitely recommend this company to anyone! Thank you Kellen & William!”

Jessica

“Wise Monkey did a fantastic job repiping our home. The team was professional, courteous, responsive, and really went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. They kindly helped us with rebuilding some irrigation out front, patched extra holes in the garage leaving it better than they found it, and even brought our dogs treats. We appreciated that they provided drywall work as well; patching, retexturing, and painting after the repipe was complete. It was very easy to work with them and they offered a competitive price. We highly recommend Wise Monkey!”

Nicole Enright

“In March 2022 we found a home we wanted to purchase that was built in 2004 and had Kitec plumbing. After research and considerable worry, we decided we would only go ahead with the purchase if we felt comfortable with a company to Repipe the whole house for us. We got multiple bids and chose Wise Monkey Repipe. We worked with Kellen from beginning to end and he made the process as stress-free as possible. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kellen and Wise Monkey. They did everything they said they would do and more. Fantastic to work with and the job they did was terrific. We were of course concerned about the drywall sections that get cut out being noticeable after the work was done (they reinstall the drywall pieces, texture, and paint to match the rest of the wall) and I would defy someone to tell me where they cut the drywall - looks like they were never here! We also liked that they use PEX-A and not PEX-B (watch YouTube videos to educate yourself as we did). They also installed a new water heater for us - perfect! Best Contractor experience we've had. Our sincere thanks to Kellen and the rest of the Wise Monkey team.”

Dean Bendickson

“Wise Monkey Re-pipe did a wonderful job on replacing the defective Durapex water pipes in my home. The team was very professional and worked efficiently to get the job done the right way. They did such a great job, and cleaned up shop like they were never there. Glad I was recommended to them by an old colleague of theirs. I will most definitely recommend them to my family & friends. Thank you for the excellent work you guys did.”

Maurice Guzman

“Kellen and his team do incredible work. From the initial walk which was very intuitive to the constant communication and coordination of the upcoming re-pipe of our home. We had a major slab leak in our home and I gathered 3 quotes for a re-pipe after veering away from the jack hammer destroying our kitchen, family room, and custom stair case. Upon reviewing the quotes and the character of who presented them, it was a no-brainer. When the Wise Monkey team arrived on day one they covered and protected our home, and took special care of the stairs. They worked like a finely tuned machine as they moved through our home installing all of the new plumbing. Great install done without error! Inspection was signed off and then the drywall patch and paint team arrived. Same thing, total professionals and every patch is unrecognizable. I'm a General Contractor with a drywall background and I've never seen work of this quality. The drywall team even fixed a patch on our kitchen ceiling from the previous owner. The plumbing team even reconfigured our main along with the spigot, pool auto fill, and irrigation connection. Cleaned up a plumbing mess that the pool guys had left. Can't say enough g”

“Kellen and his crew did a great job of replacing the kitek piping in our home. The quality of the work was excellent and at a reasonable price. Also their post install support was also excellent. I would highly recommend them.”

Satish Parbhakar

“Kellen with Wise Monkey has provided the most outstanding, compassionate service we have ever received. Like many of the other people on here, I found out that we have Kitec plumbing and will need to repipe because it is a ticking time bomb, guaranteed to fail at some point. We called 8 plumbers and our home warranty Fidelity assigned 2. Out lf the 8 we called, he's the only one who would come out and touch it because we were without water for 4 days even though his area is big jobs and repiping. Even the assigned warranty company canceled on us after hearing it was Kitec. Kellen was out the next day and had the issue fixed in literally 15 mins, if that. Super fast, professional and very friendly. Additionally, since we have Kitec plumbing, eventually we will have to redo the plumbing. Kellen has given us the best estimate for our repiping out of 4 companies we've talked to, which I believe would include the drywall and other thorough factors as well. These are the guys you want to call if you are having issues, their reviews speak for themselves!!!!!”
