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.

Looks like these folks have two listings on YELP -- I won't repeat myself but these guys are top-notch and a pleasure to work with AND we're super professional and very, very nice!

Called this company and a female answered and I told her my problem and she gave me a between 11am-1pm appointment and said the plumber would call before he came. No one called or ever showed up and I called the office and left a voicemail and called one more time and got the voicemail once again and I never heard from them again.

Have used them three times for different situations.  They have always responded quickly and taken care of the problem at a reasonable price.

My husband and I always call three contractors when we have a home repair.  We selected Nelson Brothers.  Based on our experience anytime we have a plumbing repair in the future we are confident to just call Nelson Brothers.  Michael is a great asset on their team.  He has a great attitude, was friendly and confident, was great at keeping us informed of the next step and loves the company he represents.  Thank you!

I have used this company often for 2 different houses, and many different jobs. They are polite and friendly,  and hard working. I would also like to say that they are perfectionists. ..do it right the first time, so no problems in the future.  I've had pipes replaced, furnace fixed, wash basins replaced and bathrooms fixed and or redone. I would highly recommend them! Reasonable pricing compared to other companies.

I called Steve a few hours ago as I was replacing a leaking toilet and thought I needed a new flange. The toilet was still leaking after I was done. Replacing a cast iron flange wasn't something I wanted to do myself. He talked me through what I was possibly doing wrong (ie. it wasn't the flange) and told me to call him back if I was still having issues. The toilet is now leak free!

This guy knows what he's talking about and he will definitely be the first call I make if I need some work done in the future. I wasn't looking for free advice and I know that a lot of people would rather show up and make a buck even though I was so close to finishing the project. You don't find professionalism like this every day.

If you're in need of plumbing work, give this guy a call!

I wouldn't trust this guy to install a garden hose! And this is an employee stand point!  Fired cause I pay my child support.. and I supposedly gave friend of the court his name..  but anyone knows that's automatic..     dudes got something to hide...     not trustworthy!! Not to mention he doesn't like to pay! Went a month with no check and he told me he doesn't owe anyone anything! ..    don't understand how he is in business!

I called Dixie Plumbing at 3:15am when I woke up to a flooded basement, like many others in the Dearborn area.  They were the only 24 hour plumber I called that actually answered the phone at that time and they had a plumber out to my house within a few hours to clear the basement drains and get the water to recede.  He was very professional and efficient.  This company was literal angels in the midst of a horrible situation.  I would totally recommend!

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.

I had installed a new 1 drain sink in my kitchen to replace a 2 drain sink. I had requested to have someone come and route the drain to one of the pipes and cap off the other pipe. I was absolutely floored when they told me (with a straight face) that it would cost $376! I told the plumber to go on his way because there is no chance I will pay that and that there is no way it would take more then 1 hour for him to do the job. He got frustrated and eventually offered to do it for $276 which is still $100+ more then any other place in town. Figuring I'd have to pay the $79 service fee and still find and pay for another plumber I reluctantly agreed. The quality of the work is good, but the cost is absolutely OUTRAGOUS. If you're looking for good work at any cost these guys may be OK, but if you want some kind of value STEER CLEAR! In the end, I spent $276 (they wanted $376) for less then 1 hour of their time and less then $10 in material. This will absolutely be my first and last time dealing with these guys!!

These guys are a joke. Sent two plumbers at two different times to fix two sinks, a toilet and shower faucet. One gave me a quote and left. The other was a boy that obviously couldn't do a mans job who left saying that he would get back to me. Nothing, left me hanging. The woman who answers the phone told me they didn't want to do the job. DJ Murray is a joke and clearly not plumbers. Don't waste your time.

I would never use them....insanely overpriced. Charged us $850 to fix a bathtub drain and shower head. Finding out from other places it could have been done for $300-400!

They quoted out other jobs we didn't have them do that were also insanely overpriced.

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.

Does not seem like the person who answered the call is interested in coming out to do the work if it's after 5.

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.
