Kohler Construction in Lompico, CA | Timberline Contractors
We’re Timberline Contractors, and we provide independent Kohler installation and repair across Lompico’s canyon homes. The thing that separates Kohler work here from anywhere else is access: narrow Lompico Road, steep private driveways, and a damp redwood-shaded environment that treats cast iron and brass differently than a flat suburban lot ever would. We plan every Kohler job around staging, hand-carrying where we have to, and knowing which parts actually hold up in 95005 conditions. Call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate from a Lompico General Contractor who actually works this canyon.
Key Takeaways
- Independent Kohler service provider, not authorized or sponsored by Kohler
- Full bathroom and kitchen remodeling with genuine Kohler OEM parts
- We stage materials and hand-carry fixtures when driveways won’t take a truck
- Fire-hardening and CAL FIRE permitting built into every Lompico remodel plan
- Free estimates at (866) 253-5808

Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for Kohler Service
Nelson Fung started in this trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, then spent years on Eastside bungalows and mid-size commercial builds before Timberline Contractors became what it is now. That background means we treat Kohler fixtures as components in a larger build, not as standalone swap-outs. When we quote a Kohler tub-to-shower conversion in Lompico, we’re also looking at the subfloor, the venting, the wall assembly behind the tile, and the drainage path down a steep canyon slope. That’s the general contractor difference. We have installed and serviced Kohler sales & service fixtures in Lompico’s owner-built mountain homes long enough to know exactly how Kohler cast iron and vitreous china behave in damp, shaded, well-fed conditions. We’re an independent provider, and we’ll tell you straight when a Kohler part is worth sourcing versus when the repair is just financing a failing unit.
Common Kohler Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Corroded tank-to-bowl gaskets and bolts on Memoirs toilets. Chlorine-treated well water sits in the tank year-round, and Lompico’s damp air and unheated seasonal cabins accelerate the rust. We replace with genuine Kohler OEM hardware, not big-box generics that wobble and leak within a year.
- Cast iron enamel spalling on Bellwether tubs. Hard well water plus tubs that sit cold and unused for months in seasonal cabins causes the enamel to chip and pop at the drain and overflow. We can tell you whether reglazing buys time or whether the tub is done.
- Faucet finish pitting and cartridge failure from acidic well water. Lompico’s 95005 canyon properties run on private wells, and that water chemistry eats lower-grade finishes. We spec Kohler Purist and Artifacts trims with finishes that resist what your particular well is doing.
- Shower valve rough-in corrosion in Choreograph and tile systems. Redwood-shaded walls stay damp and poorly ventilated, so the brass behind the trim corrodes faster than anyone expects. We catch this during remodel gut-outs before the wall is closed back up.
- Angled rough-ins on pier-and-beam floors. Older cabin-era homes shift with the seasons. A Kohler toilet or tub set on a wandering floor needs a leveled, properly shimmed rough-in or the flange and wax ring fail early. We see this constantly in Lompico.
Nelson’s rule applies to every one of these: Do it right the first time or explain yourself twice.
Kohler Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Every Lompico project sits in a CAL FIRE “very high” fire severity zone, and that single fact reshapes how Kohler work gets done here. A bathroom or kitchen remodel in the 95005 canyon routinely requires fire-hardened venting, exterior wall assembly upgrades, and defensible-space planning alongside the fixture work. That permitting layer doesn’t apply to a Kohler repair in Felton or a Scotts Valley job down the canyon. So when we pull an old Kohler Bellwether tub out of a Lompico Road cabin, we’re not just setting a new shower pan. We’re checking whether the wall behind it needs a fire-resistant assembly, whether the vent penetration is compliant, and whether the drainage path will hold through a heavy winter storm on a steep graded lot. You don’t get that from a fixture-only plumber. You get it from a general contractor who has pulled county permits in this canyon before. Add the access reality: on a recent Lompico Road remodel, the steep private driveway wouldn’t take our full truck, so we staged materials at the road and hand-carried a new cast iron tub and Choreograph panels up to the house. That’s what Kohler construction service actually looks like here.
Kohler Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We work across the Kohler lines that actually show up in Lompico’s cabin-era and custom mountain homes: Memoirs and Devonshire one-piece and two-piece toilets, Bellwether cast iron alcove tubs, Choreograph shower systems, traditional tile shower pans, and Artifacts and Purist faucet and trim lines. For parts, we source genuine Kohler OEM for tanks, valves, and trim while the part is still in production. Cast iron and ceramic don’t tolerate generic substitutes. When a unit is discontinued, which happens with older cabin-era Kohler tubs, we say so and recommend replacement instead of chasing obsolete parts. That honesty saves Lompico homeowners real money over time.

FAQs – Kohler Construction in Lompico
Yes, and we have done it more than once. On a Lompico Road remodel, we staged the new Kohler Bellwether tub at the road and hand-carried it up with the shower panels because the steep private driveway would not take our full truck. It adds labor, and we price it honestly. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll walk your access before quoting anything.
Kohler’s warranty stays with Kohler. We are an independent contractor, not an authorized Kohler service provider, so we don’t process manufacturer warranty claims for you. What we do is install and repair to manufacturer spec, and we’ll document the work if you need to file a claim yourself. Some older cabin-era units are past any warranty window anyway, and we’ll tell you that plainly.
Almost always, yes. Lompico’s private well water runs acidic in much of the canyon, and acidic water chews through lower-grade faucet finishes and cartridges. We spec finishes that resist pitting on your specific well chemistry, and we can test the water as part of the estimate. Call (866) 253-5808 for a real answer instead of a guess.
In most of Lompico, yes. This is a CAL FIRE “very high” severity zone, so Santa Cruz County permitting routinely requires fire-hardened venting and wall assemblies on bathroom remodels. We pull those permits and build to that standard as part of the shower work, which is exactly why we’re a general contractor and not just a fixture installer.
Depends on the unit. A Memoirs with corroded tank bolts is usually worth repairing with OEM hardware. A decades-old cabin toilet with a cracked bowl or a discontinued flush valve is usually not. We’ll quote both paths and tell you which one makes sense for your budget. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll look at it.
