We’ve been the go-to choice for Pollock Pines residents since 1999. We’re not the biggest company in El Dorado County, but we’re the one locals trust when gas line work needs to be done right the first time.
Our 5-star reputation comes from doing exactly what we say we’ll do. Fair pricing, no surprises, and work that passes inspection every time. We’re licensed (Cl#916322), insured, and BBB accredited because your safety matters.
As a family-owned business, we keep our overhead low and pass those savings to you. That’s why we can offer free estimates and competitive pricing without cutting corners on quality or safety.
First, we assess your property and appliance needs during a free consultation. We’ll map out the most efficient route for your gas line and explain exactly what the job involves, including permit requirements and timeline.
Next, we handle all permits and coordinate with utility marking services. California requires 811 calls before any digging, and we manage that process so you don’t have to worry about hitting underground utilities.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days depending on complexity. We use only approved materials like black steel or CSST that meet California codes. Every connection gets pressure tested to ensure zero leaks before we call for final inspection.

Pollock Pines sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills where reliable heating matters. Natural gas provides consistent, affordable heat that doesn’t depend on the electrical grid during winter storms. Many residents choose gas for backup generators, outdoor kitchens, and pool heaters.
We install gas lines for stoves, ovens, water heaters, furnaces, fireplaces, and outdoor appliances. Each installation includes proper venting, safety shutoffs, and sediment traps where required. All work comes with our quality guarantee and meets El Dorado County building codes.
Gas line installation typically costs $15-25 per linear foot, with most homeowners spending $500-2,000 total depending on distance and complexity. Simple appliance connections cost less than whole-house installations that require trenching.
Factors affecting cost include pipe material, number of fittings, accessibility, and permit fees. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden charges or surprise fees.
Our local overhead stays low, which helps keep prices competitive while maintaining the quality and safety standards required for gas work in California.
Yes, California requires permits for all gas line installations, and only licensed contractors can legally perform this work. DIY gas line work is dangerous and illegal, plus it can void your homeowner’s insurance.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections with El Dorado County. The permit process typically adds 1-2 days to your project timeline but ensures everything meets current safety codes.
Working without permits can result in fines, failed home sales, and insurance claims being denied. It’s not worth the risk when professional installation with proper permits costs just a few hundred dollars more.
Most gas line installations take 1-2 days once permits are approved. Simple appliance connections might finish in a few hours, while complex whole-house systems can take longer depending on trenching requirements.
The permit and inspection process adds 3-5 business days to the overall timeline. We schedule inspections promptly and coordinate with your schedule to minimize disruption.
Weather can affect outdoor work, especially during Pollock Pines winters. We’ll discuss timing options during your free estimate and work around your needs whenever possible.
We use only California-approved materials including black steel pipe, CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing), and copper where permitted. Material selection depends on your specific application and local code requirements.
Black steel remains the gold standard for underground and interior gas lines due to its durability and leak resistance. CSST offers flexibility for tight spaces and complex routing. All fittings and connections meet or exceed California Plumbing Code standards.
We don’t cut corners on materials because gas line failure isn’t worth the risk. Quality materials cost slightly more upfront but provide decades of reliable service with minimal maintenance needs.
Yes, we install gas lines for outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pool heaters, and patio heaters. Outdoor installations require special considerations for weather exposure and proper venting.
Pollock Pines residents love outdoor living, and gas appliances extend the usable season for patios and outdoor kitchens. We ensure proper sizing for multiple appliances and install shutoff valves for safety and convenience.
All outdoor gas lines must meet setback requirements from property lines and structures. We handle the technical details and ensure your outdoor gas appliances operate safely and efficiently year-round.
We inspect your property thoroughly before starting work to identify potential issues. If we discover problems like damaged existing lines or code violations, we’ll explain your options and provide updated pricing before proceeding.
Sometimes older homes have outdated gas systems that need upgrading to current codes. We’ll work with you to find cost-effective solutions that ensure safety and code compliance without unnecessary expense.
Our experience helps us anticipate most issues during the initial assessment. When surprises do occur, we communicate immediately and never proceed with additional work without your approval and clear pricing.
