Denver's Plumbing is the best!  I lost a diamond stud earring down our bathroom sink and after calling several plumbers the next morning, Denver's was the first to call me back. He came in 10 minutes of me speaking to him, and was finished in another 10 minutes with my earring in hand!  He was super friendly and very reasonably priced.  I will definitely be using him again!

Pablo recently helped us troubleshoot some issues with our HVAC system that we have been having for years after endless back and forth with our Home Warranty company (FYI don't use First American). He came to offer us a second opinion and very quickly was able to identify what the issues were and explain it to us in a way we understood. He provided us with different options to address the cooling issues we've had. We ended up having him replace our HVAC system at a competitive price and within 1-3 days of us making our final decision. This would have involved endless back and forth and probably taken over a month with our warranty company (we ended up canceling it). He recommended that we get our ducts professionally cleaned and he also found some faulty ductwork and issues with our attic insulation while troubleshooting some issues we were having (noticing that upstairs still seemed much warmer). For the first summer in a 2 years, I woke up to a cool home (almost chilly!). He is trustworthy, reliable, and responds quickly. We definitely will reach out to him again for advice and future repairs. Thank you for your service and professionalism, Pablo!

Roto Rooter Manager, Mr. Purcelle, contacted me after reading my customer survey. Not only did he apologize profusely, but he also returned my $125 and offered me $75 off any plumbing repairs if I use their service in the future. He also talked to the technician about what he did wrong. Mr. Purcelle's actions tell me that Roto Rooter is interested in providing good, fair service to their customers. I retract my 1-star review and give them 4 stars. They have an opportunity to earn the fifth star at my next service appointment.

We just recently replaced our furnace, Hvac compressor, hot water heater and put on a brand new deck in our back yard.  Everything went amazingly smooth.  Carlos was the upmost professional and very responsive to our questions and requests.  We ended up adding on additional work at the end because he did such a great job with the initial contract.  Without hesitation- I would recommend C&S to anyone looking to do any home improvement.  He does it all and does it all very well!

We had them put in a new gas line inside our house, with an eye to a tankless water heater in the 5-10 year future. The quote process was easy and they were happy to address my concerns throughout. The quote was more opaque than I preferred, but we had several more quotes, and theirs was the best for those who could verbally address all of my concerns at the time. I asked them a plethora of questions and they were never short with me and they never gave me the impression I was wasting their time. For the installation, I was in their back pocket the whole time, asking questions and just watching the work. They didn't object or make any trouble. They made a better than code central hub for the appliance lines to come out of, and this was a standard practice for them. They addressed all of my concerns and dealt with my hovering over them professionally and personably, face-to-face and over the phone. They also dealt with all of the county permitting and scheduling, so I didn't have to arrange anything directly with them. I just had to let the inspectors in. I will call Heidler again when we have need for additional plumbing service.

~of note, we had to use a somewhat uncommon supply line for the gas, and we had three other quotes done, and all of the others either were for less-than-modern techniques, or they were having us purchase far more materials than we needed because they didn't deal with them very often. But Heidler charged us only for what we used, with no waste.

Tony, Matt , and Trish have been our sprinkler system service provider for many years now. After years of indifferent, and even some shady and unprofessional providers they have been an asset to have. Today Tony responded immediately to fix a broken cap and prevented a potential disaster for us. Not only that but he decided it was too minor to charge us for an unscheduled visit!
Over the years Tony, Matt and their team have done elaborate projects in our garden as we evolved and kept changing our landscape. Their work is meticulous, done with utmost care to details, and always in a professional yet friendly manner.
In the field of landscaping and irrigation it is hard to find such level of service. These guys are a real asset to have - the name they picked couldn't be more fitting to what you get!!!

I am very pleased with the exceptional work from this company. I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and at a time that was helpful for the needs of my family. We had two ceiling fans and four lights installed. The two gentlemen who completed the work were efficient and ensured we were happy with the quality of the work. They also completed the work in a reasonable time the same day. Very satisfied with this company and we will be recommending them to friends and family. Thank you!

Yup. Another satisfied customer here.
I called Howard Plumbing at 7pm on a Thursday night after finding a water tank in our basement acting more like a shower. Patrick actually answered the phone. We discussed the problem, I sent over photos. We discussed the solution and price. He agreed to send over his team in the morning with a new tank and fix it immediately.
The team turned up (slightly early!) and realised that the new tank was smaller than the one it was replacing.
After some to and fro trying to find a replacement tank (not really their fault), we got it sorted less than 24 hours after finding the problem.

Great to work with. Do what they say they are going to do. Professional.
I'm hoping not to need another plumber but if I do, Howard Plumbing will get the call.

Excellent communication!  Did a great job installing a gas fireplace insert. Quick and efficient, and very quiet.  Would hire again in a second.

had them replace a existing dishwasher,tech was there for a little over a hour. was charged 275.00 for the labor. would never think to call them for anything major or time consuming!!!

Fantastic work, great communication, helpful and thoughtful. I got in touch with Excellence on a recommendation, and am so glad I went with them to get my hot water heater replaced. I trust their advice and appreciate their careful work.

If you want an honest plumber, hire Shannon. We had a leak in one of our basement pipes this summer and Shannon was honest and let us know how we could fix it without spending thousands of dollars. I highly recommend him and will use O Neill Plumbing for all our future plumbing needs in the future. Shannon is quick with communication, will help ease any concerns, professional and simply the best plumber in this area!

Having plumbing work done is about as exciting as getting new tires for your car....and just as expensive.  That being said, BBQ was well informed and a great choice for my recent Rheem instant hot hot water system.  Took a while to get on their schedule because good people are usually busy.  In the end I can only assume that everything is good to go as plumbing repairs are only as good as how long they last.  So far so good.  Def. recommend.

Help! My water heater is leaking! That was all I had to say and Brian was on the way. This was my first time using his services and I was very, very pleased. The cost was reasonable and competitive. Brian was pleasant to deal with and did (as anyone would hope) clean up behind himself. Most importantly, I have hot water again. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again!

Greetings DMV!!! what a great find. Professional inexpensive. Will show and tell you exactly what's wrong. Garbage disposal was not working he showed me exactly what you do got a quote for as little as $325 they did it for $128. Will use them for any issues I may have in the future.

The team at DMV Plumbing has helped me several times and always come through. For me, I like to understand the issue, and DJ takes time to explain the problem and how he is planning to solve it. While the initial connection was based on a plumbing issue - problematic piping leading to leaking - they have helped me with electrical issues as well, including installation (ceiling fan, under-cabinet lighting, new GFCI outlet), as well as correcting a wiring issue presented from an earlier contractor.

We used John Nugent and Sons to look at some air conditioning issues we had been having with our primary home and one of our rental properties. The company sent over a junior tech who was unable to properly diagnose our issues and had no solution other then topping off freon in the units and suggesting that I replace the thermostat. We called back to the company and complained to the service manager who was good enough to send back a more experienced tech who was able to actually help us with the problems.

That was fine and I didn't have a huge problem staying on top of the technicians but then we experienced another issue with our second rental property. We called them back and the technician stated that the whole AC unit had to be replaced. We asked for an estimate and never heard back from the company. Between having to stay on top of the company to get the appropriate level of service and the lack of follow through and communication, my suggestion would be to look elsewhere.

Dominick (Donnie) sent a plumber named Kevin who snaked the drain pipe behind my kitchen sink. The work was performed quickly and fixed the problem by removing compacted detritus from the line. It took less than half an hour. I was very pleased with the service and work, but I was dismayed at the high price: $225.

I've experienced better service for much cheaper. I will admit, the two gentlemen that came and assisted were very friendly, however the fact they charged the customer for their travel time and overtime cost seemed pretty unreasonable when they did not show up within their time frame and did not call ahead of time to notify me about the delay or that they would charge me for overtime. Also, they didn't fix the problem and still charged upward of $400. Wouldn't recommend based on what I experienced.

I really wish I could give 0 stars as this company does not even deserve one.  I have never been so angry at a company, and I have never written a review before for anything, but feel like it would be a disservice to everyone else if I didn't let you know how horrible they are.  They were assigned to me through my landlord's home warranty program to fix my clogged kitchen sink.  This was an issue we had 2 times before and the other companies assigned to us were able to fix the sink within 30 minutes.  Elevated responded very quickly to our request and sent a plumber out within 2 days.  When the tech came, he said he was not able to fix it because he needed more cable and didn't have it with him.  I stupidly paid him the service charge and he got me on the schedule for the next day.  I called Elevated 3 times the next day to make sure they were coming and they always said they were just waiting for the longer cable.  He never showed up that first day and I never got a cancellation call.  On Monday I called first thing in the morning and they promised up and down that someone would come out and finish the job. I called 2 more times that day to make sure and kept getting promises.  Guess what- no show, no call.  Third day, I call first thing, talk with someone new, he's very apologetic, very understanding and promises me again that they will come that afternoon.  I call 2 more times to make sure- no show, no call.  I got the owner's phone number, he was very apologetic, told me that they would make it right and he promised he would call me back in 5 minutes while he got things coordinated.  Never heard back from him.  DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.  They are horrible!
