Company History

Owner Chris Reed began training in New Zealand, completing five years of formal plumbing and gas fitting education and earning the highest qualification in his trade. Chris spent time working on high-end new construction in Arizona before relocating to Santa Barbara. The business grew around service calls, remodel projects, and work with local contractors and property managers.

Over nearly two decades, Kea Plumbing has built a steady reputation for careful workmanship and clear communication. The company keeps projects clean and focuses on practical fixes that last in coastal climates where salt air and older plumbing can cause extra wear.

Leadership

Chris Reed leads day-to-day operations and handles many service calls himself. His background combines formal qualification, on-site trade experience, and years of working in both remodels and new construction. He partners with local inspectors and builders and stays hands-on with training and technical updates.
