Wes & Family

Wes started Mello & Son's in the summer of 1996 as
A Family Style Business.

He had worked for one of the largest
Water Well Companies on the Central Coast for about 16 years.
Where He supervised the areas of Santa Maria to as far north as Paso Robles.

Now Wes serves the Central Coast with his own

Water Well Pump & Service Business.

The work is done personally by Wes and his three sons Wesley, Tim and Cody, whom he is teaching the tricks of the trade. Wes offers his customers prompt quality service, always willing to give help and information for their Water Well needs at any time day or night. He knows water is a necessity, a way of life, and a need. So he is always there to fix and help your system work in the best way possible.

Jenny has been there with Wes from the beginning of the business. She answers the phones and helps with the behind the scene business operations. Sometimes on the weekends she'll be out helping Wes on service calls. When they are not working they are busy with their yard full of plants, the pond and their many animals, such as birds, tortoises. Jenny is a true lover of pugs they are proud owners of two females named Kaili and Kiki and one male named Pug aka Fatboy. Pug was given to us by one of our Water Well Customers.

Jenny also has a Child Care business in their home so if you call and hear kids in the background that is why. She will try to answer your questions or get a hold of Wes for you. She feels it is very important for you to get service right away. Wes and the boys all help out with the day care when they are around. The kids refer to Wes and Papa Wes.
