Toto Construction in Felton, CA | Millwright Builders
We provide independent Toto installation, repair, and retrofit service across Felton and the San Lorenzo Valley. We’re not a Toto dealer or authorized service center, but we’ve set and re-set their fixtures through dozens of local remodels, and we know how their gravity-flush and skirted designs perform on Felton’s older plumbing and slope-settled floors. If you’re planning a bathroom or kitchen project that involves Toto fixtures, call (866) 925-0334 for a free estimate.
Why Felton Residents Choose Us for Toto Service
Noel Castañeda founded Millwright Builders after nearly two decades of residential and light commercial work across the Peninsula, and he built the company around a principle that matters a lot in a mountain town like Felton: one contractor accountable for the whole job, not a phone tree of subs. When a Toto fixture is part of a larger remodel, the toilet doesn’t get treated as an island. The plumbing rough-in, the floor leveling, the electrical for a Washlet, the venting, the finish tile, the fire-hardening requirements, the deck and roof drip line clearance – all of it stays under our roof. We specify the brand, explain the trade-off, and stand behind the install.
We’ve also learned the hard way what Felton’s water and power systems do to Toto internals. We carry the OEM fill and flush valves, genuine wax and skirt seals, and closet flanges that get called for after a storm cycle or a pressure surge. That means fewer return trips and a toilet that refills at full pressure, not a trickle.

Common Toto Construction Problems We Solve in Felton
- Ghost-flushing and slow refills after winter pressure surges. Felton’s mountain water system sees pressure spikes and drops during atmospheric-river storms and the power outages that come with them. Older Eco Ultramax flush-tower assemblies and fill valves wear out under that cycling and produce ghost-flushing or weak flushes even when supply pressure looks fine. We replace the tower, valve, and seal as a set rather than chasing one symptom.
- Rocking toilets and failed wax rings on settled bathroom floors. Felton’s mid-century homes and older redwood-era cabins sit on pier-and-post foundations or slope-cut lots that shift with heavy winter saturation. A toilet that rocks even slightly has already started compressing the wax ring, and a leak at the base often starts before you see water on the floor. We re-set the toilet on a new closet flange, level the bowl, and use the OEM wax or skirt seal the model calls for.
- Skirted toilet and Washlet retrofits without the electrical in place. A common rework item in Felton bathrooms: someone specs a skirted Toto or a Washlet seat, then we open the wall and find no GFCI-protected outlet within reach. We add the outlet, run the protection, and trim it to code so the seat runs clean and safe, not on an extension cord run behind the vanity.
- Scaling and sediment from older galvanized lines. Felton’s older homes still carry galvanized supply lines in places, and the sediment that comes off them collects in fill valve seats and flush-tower gaskets. The symptom is a toilet that won’t stop running or refills in a whisper. We clean or replace the valve, and if the sediment is bad enough, we’ll tell you when the supply line itself is the real problem.
- Non-permitted past additions that surface during remodels. Felton has its share of cabins and mid-century homes with unpermitted bathrooms and kitchens tacked on over the decades. When a Toto fixture needs to move or a floor needs to be rebuilt, we’re the ones who bring the structure up to current fire and seismic standards while the toilet is out of the way. That’s usually the right time to do it, not three years later when the wall is closed back up.
Toto Service in Felton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Felton sits in the San Lorenzo Valley’s Wildland-Urban Interface, and much of the town falls within Cal Fire Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. That fact changes how we approach even a straightforward Toto installation. A bathroom remodel here isn’t just plumbing and tile; it’s ignition-resistant construction, defensible-space planning, and Chapter 7A-compliant materials on the walls, vents, and roof penetrations around that room. When we set a Drake II or retrofit a Washlet+ on a wooded slope, we’re also coordinating the vent screening, the ember-resistant detailing at the wall intersection, and the roof drip line above the bathroom wall. Noel grew up in the Sunshine Gardens neighborhood of South San Francisco, where he saw what the fog belt and the industrial corridor did to cheap work, and the principle carries into the mountains: build it right the first time, the Peninsula weather will find out if you didn’t. Around Felton, that includes fire. The finished bathroom has to survive both a wet winter and a dry September.
Toto Models & Products We Service in Felton
We install, repair, and retrofit the full residential Toto line you’re most likely to find in Felton homes: the Eco Ultramax and Ultramax II one-piece toilets, the Drake and Drake II two-piece models, the Carlyle II and Promenade lavatories, and the Washlet and Washlet+ bidet seats. Our parts philosophy is simple: we use Toto OEM fill and flush valves, flush-tower assemblies, and genuine wax or skirt seals where the model calls for them. We’ll recommend a quality aftermarket valve only when an OEM part is no longer available for a discontinued model. If you have a 15-plus-year-old toilet with a cracked bowl or a failed tower, we’ll tell you straight when a new Eco Ultramax makes more sense than chasing parts into a fixture that’s already past its service life.

What moves the number in Felton is almost always access and existing conditions: a narrow mountain driveway that won’t take a standard delivery truck, a floor that needs leveling before the toilet goes back, a wall that needs fire-hardening while it’s open, or an electrical run for a Washlet that wasn’t there before.

FAQs – Toto Construction in Felton
Yes. Most Felton bathrooms we see have either no outlet at all behind the toilet or a standard non-GFCI outlet at the vanity. We run a new GFCI-protected circuit or extend the existing one, cut the wall only where needed, and install the seat with the wiring trimmed to code. It’s a one-day job in most cases, and we handle the drywall and paint patch so the wall doesn’t look opened. Call (866) 925-0334 for an exact quote.
Usually, yes. The flush-tower assembly and fill valve on the Eco Ultramax are the weak points, and Felton’s winter pressure surges and outages accelerate the wear. We replace the tower, fill valve, and seal as a matched set, which stops most ghost-flushing and slow-refill complaints in a single trip. If the bowl itself is cracked or the porcelain is nearing 15 years of hard mountain water, we’ll tell you whether repair or replacement is the better spend. Call (866) 925-0334 and we’ll diagnose it.
We do, but we level first. Skirted Toto toilets are less forgiving of an out-of-level floor than a standard two-piece, and a wedge-shimmed skirt looks wrong and rocks. When the floor has settled from slope movement or wet-season saturation, we level the closet flange area, install a new flange if needed, then set the skirted bowl on the OEM seal. It sits flat, doesn’t rock, and doesn’t leak at the base. Call (866) 925-0334 to discuss your bathroom.
It depends on scope. A tub-to-shower conversion with new Toto fixtures typically runs $3,500 to $10,000, while a full bathroom remodel with a Walklet and skirted toilet runs $9,000 to $28,000. Kitchen projects that include Toto lavatories or faucets go higher once countertops and cabinetry enter the picture. The Felton-specific cost driver is almost always the fire-hardening and access work: a Chapter 7A wall detail or a narrow driveway that changes how materials get delivered.
