Best Businesses in Detroit, MI

Had to find a plumber who could clean out our line due to a weird backup over the weekend and Rose Sewer Cleaning had the best price and availability around.

The owner, Mark Rose, came out quickly with his equipment shortly after a Saturday morning call. He was really fair, went above and beyond to show that everything was working properly, answered all of my novice questions, and did it for a *way* better price than any of the big places around here.

I highly recommend him in case you need plumbing services. Great guy!

Highly recommended!! Very professional, reliable, honest and he knows what's needed to do the job right. High quality workmanship. Definitely will call for any future plumbing needs.

I easily made an appointment and they later sent Scott to fix a leaky faucet on my tub. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I have nothing bad to say about the services provided. Prices were on par with other plumbing services.

Called Atomic Sewer and Drain and they came out  and repaired my faucets and toilet.   Was super impressed with how quickly they were able to get to me.   They were efficient in taking care of my issues. Very affordable.  Also every one was  really pleasant and professional.  Will definitely use them again if the need arises.  Thank you, Atomic, for your great service.

Roy responded quickly to my request and was upfront on what the cost would be. He arrived promptly at the scheduled time and got right to work. I appreciated that he clearly explained what might be causing the problem and what he would be doing as well as expressing confidence that it could be fixed. He persevered and did not disappoint. His price was fair too. My water situation is back to normal. I highly recommend him and his company.

It's hard to get excited about a plumber, but I really have come to rely on Putzig's. Over the past 14 years I have had much work done by Putzig's and I have never had a bad experience.  They show up on time and ready to work, the worker's are knowledgeable and honest.  (They charge a 1 hour minimum fee and once I had something that took less than three minutes to fix.  So the tech inspected all my faucets, toilets, drains, and anything else he could think of.  He ended up fixing about 6 other minor things, most of which didn't require parts (so it's not like he was upsizing me).  These people do great work and can be trusted to give you good advice.  I have only had one case where a problem came back after a repair and they came out and fixed it for free.

I don't evan call around anymore,  guy is great,  honest and stands by his work.  You might be able to do it cheaper if you are a master plumber,  but it won't look as good.

Gamble is a professional business with respectful employees.

We recently had our 50-year-old steam boiler on its last legs, and we asked 3 companies for a proposal, including Gamble.  The big company (Flame H/C) made us feel secure with their large customer base and fluffy sales pitch about customer service, but they came in $2,000 higher than the others.  We didn't want to pay for Flame's marketing and advertising, so we decided to go with a small, private business.  We chose Gamble.

Simply put, the old boiler was taken away, the new one installed, and our home was back up with heat within 12 hours.  The installation had a few hiccups, causing it to take a bit longer than normal.  However, considering it was the Friday before the New Year holiday weekend, the Gamble guys did not rush or hurry to complete the job, and made sure everything was as it should be before leaving at 8:00pm.

I recommend Gamble based on their price, quality of service, willingness to install asap, and patience with the customer (we asked Phil endless questions to make sure we were getting the right thing).  Also, Mike and Pete are masters of their work and are friendly as well.

I would give 5 stars, however I think they could improve the details on their quote. Our quote stated all parts and labor, but there was an oversight of a part needed and we ended up paying $300 extra.  Perhaps a partial oversight on our part as well, but I am not an expert on boilers.

Details of our purchase:

New Yorker steam Boiler, 210,000 BTU
All new copper piping connected to existing steel piping
Electric damper

He is a better lawyer than plumber.  I know this because after he flooded my house he threatened to sue me when I wouldn't pay his bill.  His insurance covered about half the damage costing me thousands and his bill was a few hundred.  Then he liened my house and left me powerless.  Also, he operates under a couple of names and locations so he is impossible to track down.  His name isn't Al by the way.

I previously reviewed the business as stellar and Im thinking I must have experienced a fluke for good service.  This company burned me so bad on the next service call I placed in February 2016.  I am fuming!  I called because my cold water would not come on and I heard the tank on my toilet refilling with a odd sound and saw water shooting out of the top of the floater.  I was told nothing was wrong with the floater water was supposed to come out of the top..fast forward two days later, toilet not filling with water at all! - see plumbing bill! - quick web search showed water is not supposed to come out the top of the floater.

When the two plumbers who I would have to guess is not licenced, came to my house they looked at the bath tub and said the pipe to the cold water is frozen,  I said No its not, this isn't an exterior wall and my whole house is insulated ( I had the service where they went into all of my walls and blew in insulation) I said I believe it is due to over tightening then they took the handle off and said oh yes it is due to over tightening.  They replaced the washer and my water just ran from the tub spout and they attempted to leave saying it was fixed! I said no its not the water is running, so they changed the washer again, the water still ran.  They said they had to get to another job and left the water running and left.  The stream turning into running water I had to shut off my water main, I called them to come back the next morning, and they said it was the stem and they did not have the parts left for almost an hour leaving my water main off and waterer streaming down behind the wall while he went for the part, they came back changed the stem it was still running water and they left saying the owner Michael had to come fix it, he came changed the stem again and I noticed that they damaged my diverter so the water did not shut off at the spout wasting tons of water when you take a shower, the owner said he would come back and fix it and said he would not charge me for the repair until he fixed it. Needless to say after several ignored phone calls they never came back! The ruin my granite floor with dirty muddy shoes, busted several of my ceramic tiles in my bathtub, without saying a word, left all sort of debris and dirt in my tub from their work and used my bath towel to wipe the water.

I called two other plumbing companies and was told to repair what Vaughn Plumbing reckless unprofessional work created would almost $1,000!  How the hell does a initial repair of $50 turn into a $1,000 repair! I am still trying to come up with the money to fix this mess.

Avoid this company at all cost or it may cost you more than you will ever imagine.

The WORST SERVICE YOU CAN SEE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
they charge almost 500 dollars for 20 minutes work which can be done within 50 dollars. They don't have free estimation, charging more than 100 dollars for checking. Outrageous!

They get a bug fat ZERO in their rating! Period!

I requested their service throw yelp m, the company answered fast and sent a employee, 20 minutes after my call.  The plumber failed to solve or diagnose the problem and took their $200 flat rate fees.

my plumbing was clogged up with grease from tenant I was told 150 it didn't go out to complete the cleaning of the main drain due to he only had 40 foot snak I informed Greg that he needed 100 feet instead of that his worker used his hand and said I owed 75 more dollars for the job I paid it but was left with the clean up process I was told he would return to clean up but no one ever showed up I'm reporting this business to the better business bureau as well to take advantage of a black woman as a black man is horrible it black on black mistreatment in business is just as bad as black on black crime so you might as well work with the white companies an g the job done right without additional fee due to lack of equipment to do the job. Ne careful LADIES WATCH THESE TWO SCANDALOUS FELLAS LOOKING LIKE MEN IN BUSINESS BUT THEY ARE CRIMINALS GETTING OVER ON PEOPL. including brick and concrete work DIDNT come back an finish that job removing wood but was paid for both jobs so don't pay until the job an problem is corrected even if he say it's just going out slow call me if it doesn't I'm come back
