Best Businesses in Durham, NC

I could not be happier with the service I received from Rooterman.  I had a leak under my sink and had called two local plumbers who had done work for me in the past.  One was out of business and the other never returned my call.  I called Rooterman, someone answered the phone,  Rooterman arrived within an hour, diagnosed the problem as a rusted through disposal, gave me an estimate, went to get a new disposal, and installed it - all within 1. 5 hours and on top of it all Kevin was as personable a person as I have ever met.  I have already told two neighbors about the good service and I will call Rooterman Coastal Carolinas the next time I need plumbing help.

Eddie's has been my well guy for many a year.  He always comes immediately and fixes the problem.  He is such a wonderful person; he is now my friend.  The workmanship is superior and I am so grateful that he is MY well guy!  Simply the BEST!!!!!

Love working with ARC! Every one of their crew members we've worked with (Benjamin, Brantley, and Rich) has been incredibly helpful and pleasant to work with. We've used them for a number of projects over the years, including moving all of the plumbing under our house for a kitchen remodel. Their price point is great compared to other quotes we've gotten and they are just the nicest people! Only once was there an issue with a leak after they had left, and it wasn't technically their fault (it was a faulty faucet we had purchased). But they still came out on a weekend right when we called and fixed the problem and reinstalled a new one free of charge for us. I 100% recommend and trust ARC.

Hello everyone, Ken Bucher, who was the owner and CEO of Eagle Plumbing, was my grandfather. He was an extraordinary individual who seemed to make friends everywhere he went, even when he was working.

Unfortunately, in June of this year (2016), my granpa passed away from aggressive and sudden thyroid cancer; as such, we are in the process of closing his business permanently and we are referring and long-time and new customers to his equally superb plumbing friend Jeff Falls. I'm not sure it's a good idea to leave Jeff's number here in this post, so, anyone with more questions can feel free to contact me for more info.

I have been using The Water Specialist for several years now.  The customer service is exceptional, from phone support to the field technicians. And the prices are very reasonable!

Call them for the first time. Did not have them complete the job - I found them to be very expensive. They also do not do free estimates. I did find them to be polite, professional and willing to explain the situation. No problem there. I had to pay for their evaluation and their service call and did not follow through with a water heater and PRV replacement due to pricing. Called several other places and received better pricing.

I have been using the Whaley's for about 30 years, two homes, and three rental properties.  I have recommended them to many friends.  They always do the job right the first time.  Their pricing is reasonable, especially if you consider the quality of the work.  I have never had to every repair the same problem a second time, even 30 years later.  My only concern: what do I do when they retire?

This business was a pleasure to work with! I contacted the owner about a problem with my kitchen sink. He was so responsive. He was even able to fit me into his schedule the same day which was a blessing. He was knowledgeable, polite, and worked quickly. I highly recommend this business for repair needs.

My water heater died and I needed a new one. I called Pipetechs and they came right out. They assessed the situation and gave me options for a new water heater. Once I decided  what I wanted they came out and installed it. It was great service! I will definitely call them again when needed!

Honest, fast and did an amazing job!  Tray fixed the plumbing for 3 sinks and a bathtub. He replaced shut-off valves, all of the pipes under the kitchen sink , replaced a faucet, etc.

He then took a look at a much larger problem I thought I was facing and fixed it at NO CHARGE. (I was quoted $1,500 by one competitor, when in fact it was an issue of resetting a pump.)

His price to do the work was literally $1,000 less than two other estimates I received. He does what needs to be done and doesn't take advantage of you. If everyone did business like he does, the world would be a better place.

I am SO happy I found Bull City Plumbing. Quality and integrity, all the way.

I was very hesitant to call a plumber...so many horror stories out there. But we had tried every trick on the internet to fix our clogged drain, and nothing worked. After reading some reviews, I decided to bypass Roto-rooter and call Durham Plumbing Services. I am glad I did. They were friendly, punctual and reasonably priced. And most importantly, my sinks are now working again. Highly recommend!

Fast, affordable, knowledgeable. They helped me out with more than just the project I called them for. Will work with again!

The technicians that came to fix my kitchen sink faucet were friendly and on time (I called to schedule and they had someone at my house in under two hours!) It was great to read their bios and learn about them - turns out we had some things in common! Both of the guys were very professional but easy to talk to. They recommended an option for a long term fix, which I chose to do after listening to the pros and cons. And the price was great too! I don't normally post reviews but I think these two guys deserve one. Thanks again Quality Service - you've got a customer for life!

When your wastewater system alarm goes off, all kinds of bad thoughts creep in.  I called around and there wasn't much help.  These guys started diagnosing the problem immediately.  They responded with the same sense of urgency as I was experiencing and helped me walk through the problem and then came out the next day to help.  They diagnosed the problem and set clear expectations.  Through every turn, they kept me up to date on the progress and costs.  I checked costs on the internet and these guys were at or below typical prices.  They worked every angle to make sure my system was up and running as soon as possible.  This isn't some large company, it's just a couple of guys who get it.  Highly recommended.

We bought a system in 2014. Every year since whenever it gets warm and we turn on the AC the system doesn't work. We've had people out several times and they fix it temporarily but the next year it's not working again. This year we were told a coil is broken. They say the part isfree because our system is still under warranty but it will cost over $1500 for labor! Seriously?! How many people do you need out to fix this!? I will NEVER use ARS again! Total waste of money!

Do not use this company. Its deceptive marketing practices are deplorable, akin to daylight robbery. Michael and Sons, Raleigh, NC, sold and installed for me a Lennox Central Air/Heating system on 5l23/2014 for nearly $6, 000, with false promises that in 5 years I would recover my cost from energy savings. As if not recovering any my initial costs is not bad enough, barely 2 years later, on 6/15/2016, the heat exchanger was showing cracks following only one moderate winter of use. Registering my displeasure with Michael and Sons for having been sold bad equipment got no results. Michael and Sons showed no remorse, and over-priced the labor to replace the heat exchanger, asking me to pay $1,200.00. All in all I was out another $600.00.
Not only did this company sell me a false promise that buying new equipment would save me money, but it took further advantage of my misfortune. Shame on Michael and Sons for running a scam; this company is just out to bilk unsuspecting customers.

I call Blanton's to have a plumber come out today because of the same problem I had last week. After getting my information I am placed on hold when she verifies plumber will be coming out today. She gets back on the phone and tells me dispatch will have a plumber out today. After that I as to speak with a manager to discuss a previous low review. she tells me a manager has been emailed.  At 4:02 pm I receive a text saying my plumber's appointment is for tomorrow. So I call the office and ask what is going on. I am told the plumber can not come out today. And I am told I have an appointment with someone Wednesday evening to talk about my HVAC that was replaced Monday. WOW did not know I had that appointment and they were informed they need to call me to reschedule it.  While I am typing this review the plumber's dispatcher calls at 4:30 and says plumber is coming, no an electrician is coming,  no HVAC is coming then says no it is for sure a plumber coming. Well 3 times today I have asked for a manager to call me and I still have not gotten the call.  This week I have asked for a manager to call me 4 different times. As of now no call from a manager has been received. PLEASE CALL ME
