Best Businesses in Detroit, MI

I have been buying properties for 17 years and Michael accomplished what few other plumbers will even attempt. he was referred to me from a friend in common and went and looked at my clogged drain the same day. I had six inches of water in the basement AND my stairs to the basement collapsed from the previous plumber who attempted it and broke them with his heavy equipment. Mike went the same day, got his equipment down there and worked on the drain until he got it freed up. excellent communication. great pricing and incredible service. thanks Mike. I appreciate the excellent service.

Another reason to go with Aaron Swift Plumbing ... apparently I over paid my bill by $100 and they mailed me a check.  I would of never known.  Thanks!

On 7/2/13.  Don from Mitch the plumber came out to fix a leak.  It was at a difficult  area.  The city of Ann Arbor had to be called out to shut off the water.  This plumbing company has a very good relationship with the city,  a very nice city worker came right out to accommodate us.   This was very helpful.  As soon as the water was shut off Don fixed the problem for Me, at a very reasonable price and the time to fix it was also very fair.   I most definitely will call these folks again.  Thanks,   Don.      Mike H.

Quint Plumbing attended to my plumbing needs in my basement. They came out on the day and time that they were supposed to and didn't charge me any hidden *travel* fees that some of the bigger plumbing companies charge. The plumber snaked my drain and gave me real answers about what was wrong without trying to get any extra money out of me. The best part of the company is that they sent me a bill in the mail and didn't expect me to pay on the spot. When I got the bill, it was the exact price quoted to me. I am a person that has been ripped off by plumbers before but I felt that Quint was there to help me, not rip me off. Overall, good prices, good service, good advice. I've only used them once so hopefully they continue to provide good service.

I had a plugged drain in my tub and called a local plumber Gary the plumber who came out with his wife, who also thought she was a plumber too(was a very strange experience) I was told by Gary who never put pencil to paper that it would cost me $1,000, realizing something just wasn't right I paid him his $40.00 he asked for for his 10 minutes in my home and he left knowing I would never ask him back to do the work, this is known as a scare tactic to get you upset and pay the con artist prices. I called Nelson Brothers Plumbing and they sent Creith the very next day at the actual time we had set, he was like an angel with a plunger and auger!! He went through the back of one of my cupboards, he didn't have to tear my kitchen wall out like Gary the plumber had said was the only way? I have never seen anyone work so hard to correct a problem without inflating my bill, Creith was here about an hour and 45 minutes, fixed everything and my bill was $330.00. Highly recommend Nelson Brothers Plumbing!!! Jeremy in the office is also extremely nice, they had me at hello. :)

Responded quickly to my call. Repaired initial problem so I asked them to look at another issue with my humidifier. Had them repair that also. They explained what needed to be done and when jobs were completed explained what they did. Very professional and kept both work areas clean. Will call them again if needed. I highly recommend.

This is the second time I've used Allied Plumbing and both times Christopher and team were amazing. This recent visit to check out a low water pressure issue that (thank God) only required changing out a faucet was also exceptional. Although they had a slammed and busy day, they circled back and finished the job the same day, giving me a chance to go buy the fixture during the gap time. Saved me a bundle. Thanks again, guys!

Mr. Weiss is an old-school plumber. He has an inventory of parts for various types of plumbing systems, going back to the 1950s or earlier. (It's an old neighborhood).

I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Weiss's people to do any indoor plumbing job. When they fixed a leak in my hot-water baseboard heating, they said not to pay them until I was satisfied it wouldn't start leaking again. A week later, I paid him. His people do a great job.

Came out to fix a gas leak within hours on a Sunday. Very professional and took care of our gas leak within an hour. Highly recommend and will refer anyone who is in need of plumbing or gas leak issues.

Darin was responsive, honest, and fixed my AC unit quickly at a very reasonable price.  I appreciated his candid and friendly demeanor.  He invited me to stay to watch he and his apprentice repair the unit which allowed me to understand the issues that was causing the malfunction.  

I was so impressed with his work that I will be getting my furnace and AC units maintenanced from Burton HVAC every spring and fall.  

Highly recommend you giving Darin a call.

Our house has a boiler system to provide heat.  T&G came to do some high priced repairs and sold me a home protection plan that included a free checkup of the plumbing, after doing the inspection we were told the faucet in the master bath was tight and probably needed a $425.00 cartridge replacement.  I declined, sprayed the faucet with WD40 and it now works fine.
In June 2019 our sump pump failed and our basement was under 3 of water.  I remembered the T&G contract and called them.  After they drained the  basement, they replaced the 50 gal water heater for $1200 (a steep price paid by our insurance co).  They replaced the sump pump and told us we need 75 ft trench with drainage pipe outside.  While digging the trench they hit both our gas line and our sprinkler line.  I was told they would split the cost of the private gas line (our share being $1200) and repair the sprinkler line.  After 3 attempts to fix the sprinklers I had enough and told them I would have our regular guys come.  They removed all the poor work done by T&G and got everything working.  In August we called them to say the pop up sump drainage was in the wrong spot (30 ft short or where it was supposed to be).  Got many run arounds until someone finally came to move it in January 2020.  We then paid off the overpriced balance and got a call from our insurance adjuster weeks later to find out T&G had billed them for what we had already paid.
Oh and they never pulled a permit as required by West Bloomfield for water heater and put in a chimney liner for water heater's exhaust as required by MI law, so no inspector examined work and our insurance refused to reimburse us the $800+ that cost.
An extremely expensive lesson learned to NEVER USE T&G again .

This is my first ever review of anything.  This company has such poor service something needs to be done.   I have had my entire sewer replaced and I still have to have plumbers come out to cut roots in the section by the street.  I have been using DJ Murray without issue until now.

I had service done that I paid around $200 for in October.  We asked this person to do a through job.  They never came in the house.  They didn't check anything, they just serviced one of my 2 lawn cleanouts and drove off.  2 months later it was backing up again.  I called the company and the gentleman said it was my fault.  They eventually came out, fixed it and drove off.  

TWO (2) WEEKS LATER, my drain is backing up.  I am pretty sure, every plumbing company in the world will say this is bs.  Roots don't grow that fast and its time to question the service.

I called this weekend to get return service and explained the issue.  I did not ask for free or a discount.  After several calls, they will not return my calls.  

You will be best served by never calling these folks.  Poor service.  After this I will be doing my best to file a complaint with the city, BBB, and anyone that will listen.  My hope is anyone that took the time to read this will use one of several companies nearby that offers better service.

Happy Plumbing!

I called Hoover and left a detailed message trying to get a quote for new ductwork in the basement of my home. However, I never received a call back from them.

Commenting on both reviews:

Neil A. from California-We do not typically respond to calls from California as most of them are RoboCalls especially  during election season. And if his posting is the type of language he uses on a public forum, all concerned are better off not having a conversation with him. And since we have never done any work for him, he is not a customer.

Tom N.-This is a very strange review since the occurrence  took place more than ten years before the date of his posting. His posting is full of inaccuracies. Suffice it to say, yes there was a small leak, no there was no real damage to the house or his belongings, our insurance company took care of the issues within a day of the occurrence,no there was not thousands of dollars of damage, and yes he tried to rip off the insurance company for items not damaged. In the end our insurance company made him whole with no cost to him. When he refused to pay for any of the extensive remodeling work that had been contracted for, we had to file a lien in order to protect our interests. He only paid when he tried to refinance and was required, under law, to clear the lien. That  was a year or two later. We have never operated under a couple of names, and are not impossible to track down. The same can not be said for him.  And no my name isn't Al which has no bearing on anything.

Contacted Lakeside to unclog/snake my sewer line in the basement, they sent out a young plumber that was inexperienced and unable to perform the job correctly. Contacted them after to explain that they did a bad job and they dodged me for a few days. When we finally received a response they scheduled a time for a different person to come out but they never showed up. I had to call another company to do the job the right way, so I paid for the same service twice since Lakeside did not do it correctly. Definitely, would Not Recommend, horrible  experience, poor management and staff.

The shut-off for my outside tap was leaking in my basement, so I contacted them via their website. Someone called right away and said they would have someone contact me the next day, but I didn't hear back. I waited a week and went with another company. I contacted them in the first place because someone from their company lives at the end of my street (there are always a couple company trucks parked there), so I thought I would give the neighbours some business. Not sure what happened. If the job was too small, I wish they would have told me from the start.

They should not be billing themselves as any type of handyman service or contractor. Their work is unprofessional and substandard. They left the job site and absolute mess, our entire house covered in dust, with wet mud still dripping from corners and ceilings, and having sanded through their own mudding to drywall tape. They should be ashamed to even suggest that they know how to do drywall or mudding.
