Half Price Plumber

Needed some work in the Kitchen. I got a couple of quotes which were astronomical. It was like dealing with doctors when they say once they get in it could be more complicated and they'd charge more.
Called Dave and he quoted a reasonable price. Dave did a efficient and outstanding job.

David Stewart (the half price plumber) replaced my four leaky
faucets and a leaky drainage pipe today.  He was punctual, professional, and friendly.  He was very reasonably priced and did a great job.  I highly recommend him.

Horribly unprofessional and not prepared.

I am giving a 1 star rating in order to post this, as there is no negative rating.

I needed a water heater replaced, and the guy came with one. The guy has a pick up truck, no hand truck, or helper to actually install the unit.

The guy tells me (a female - saying that I look strong) he needs me to lift the unit to the platform about 18 inches off the ground so he can arrange the pan. I then politely ask why he doesn't have a helper if that's what he needs to install the unit.

The guy proceeds to have a tantrum and storm off because I would not and cannot lift a 150+ pound unit.

I do not ask a customers/clients to basically do my job when I go to work.

This is absurd behavior, save yourself the grief and hire a reputable plumber.

My husband used to be in the construction business and we needed some plumbing work. The first 2 quotes we got from plumbers were ridiculous. We ended up using Half Price Plumber
and his price was reasonable, he didn't charge for an estimate and did a first rate job! Dave was so professional and came exactly when he said he would. (There is another business called Scott's Half Price Plumber, so make sure you use the other one which has Dave).

Beyond fast , friendly , efficient and affordable ! Thanks for the help bud!

Needed a re-circulation pump installed which I ordered online after being price gouged on another job by a big LV plumber.  He showed up on time and did the job...no muss or fuss.  In and out in 20 minutes.  Price was as quoted...and the new piece is working great.  Piece of advice if you want to save a ton of money...find out the part you need, order online yourself and hire David to do the work.  My total cost including Half Price Plumber was $335 versus $994 quoted by the big firm.  I am sure if you don't know what part to order you will still be way ahead hiring David either way.  Another plus is he is a nice guy not out to rip you off.

Thank you for taking the time to come out and check this issue. I appreciated your help.

I don't know what the hell is gong on?  I called the number and asked for DAVE in which the phone number of this company is registered to....Dave Stewart ?  Whoever answered the phone said his name was Scott with 1/2 price plumbing?  He said he is the OWNER....  Nevertheless, I proceeded to let him know I was referred by a friend of ours and proceeded to give him  our friends name....he got VERY RUDE and coped an attitude..... he said in a NASTY VOICE, Lady, how the hell do you expect me to remember peoples names? I said it was only a few months ago that you did the work for our friend??? WOW (REALLY) ?  Then he proceeded to BRAG about how many customers he's had in the past year.... and was totally full of himself with an ATTITUDE from his asshole.....I was only trying to tell the freak who referred him to us... and he went off !  SCREW his ATTITUDE...... if someone has an attitude like that just because you were letting him know who referred him then STFU.... I can ONLY IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF A PERSON THIS IS.... WITH HIS ATTITUDE and I can only imagine his work???? His customer service was UN PROFESSIONAL AS HELL ! He would get a MINUS 10 if the stars would let you post that. I have a lot of friends and I will be SURE to spread the news of this DUDE SCOTT'S UGLY ATTITUDE AND PERSONALITY.   HELL TO THE NO

Removed and disposed my old water heater, installed a new water heater with a drain pan and a Protection Plus kit, changed some of the fittings too, all within a few hours.

Rheem 50 Gallon Gas Residential Water Heater (Professional Classic Series: Atmospheric) - Model # PROG50-38N RH58
with 4-Year Extended Term Warranty from Protection Plus

Because he was a licensed professional, and with the Protection Plus kit, my warranties are extended from 6 to 12 years for the tank, and 6 to 8 years for the components. He also promised me a 2 year labor warranty on the installation.

===========

David was referred to us by a friend of ours who was a former client of his.  I called David at 10:41am, and he said that he could come and give me an estimate at around 12:30pm.  He was early and was here by 11:31am.  

He checked out my old unit, and our setup at the garage.  We discussed things for about a few minutes on what to do, what to get, and how he would go about it. He also started draining my old water heater after we agreed on things.

I first thought that the $630 price for a basic installation for the Rheem PROG50-38N RH58 was a little high, as these retails for less than $400 right now, but because he was there right away, I didn't argue much and thought it fair. Neither was it equivalent to our existing unit which had 40K BTU instead of the 38K BTU in this new unit, but I kinda like Rheem better than the other models that the other contractors are offering, so I agreed to it. I was just concerned about the warranty of 6 years, so he told me about the Protection Plus kit which would add 4 years to the tank (and I thought it would also add warranty years to the parts) for $200, and I did the math comparing it to the 12 year and 9 year warranty models, and agreed to it, even if it normally retails for around $150. I also wanted a drain pan, just in case, so we added that for $40. He gave me a $30 discount overall, for being on Angielist.  My total was $840 which I think is still a great deal, considering he did it all in the same day, and he was easy to talk with.  I didn't mind the mark-ups too much because he was quick and easy to talk with, and if his work is as good as I think he is and with the 2 year warranty, we'll end up keeping him as our plumber and using him for more of our projects. He might even be a friend later.

He came back after 2:30 after he had lunch and after he picked up the new water heater.  He was alone, so I had to help him a little, but it was all good.  We also talked about all kinds of things while he was working.  He finished in about 3 hours, but it was probably my fault because we talked about a lot of things from which we both learned from each other.

Overall, it was great, and I find him an honest and good plumber.  His work was clean and the water heater seems to be working good without issues.  I'll know more later and will probably update this review.  What I know now is that we'll contact him for other plumbing issues in the future and probably invite him to a party or two.

Dave put in a kitchen sink for us.  He was very professional yet friendly and it was fast and reasonably priced.  We were able to get an apt soon and he was punctual and it was all hassle-free experience.

I can't say enough good things about David and the quality of his work. He replaced a toilet in my home and was professional, courteous, and did his usual excellent work.  I've been hiring David for a few years now and every job he's done for me was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I waited 21 years to find this excellent plumber. I was ripped off numerous times in the past from unscrupulous companies but I trust David and his work 100%.

David is great! He gives you up front quotes, he's on time, always courteous, shares details of the job as it evolves, excellent workmanship, and so on. Pricing is very competitive.  He worked on several projects in our newly renovated home, all turned out great.  Definitely will hire again.

Called for some work on our office, they don't do commercial properties?? What does plumbing have to do with commercial or a house?? Same pipes!! Don't even bother calling.

This company was awesome. Guy came out and fixed my bathroom shut off valve so i could finish my sink installation. Was done in 45 mins and great price

My water heater required replacement. I called Half Price Plumber based on a dear friend's recommendation.
During the call we discussed materials, price and schedule. I agreed to have him perform the work.
He, David, arrived a few minutes early, well prepared, professional, courteous and caring. The job was completed quickly and accurately.
100% satisfied!

Great service! On time next day service.
Replaced garbage disposal.
In and out in 30 minutes!
Thank you David!

This guy sucks. Needed a cartrige changed. He couldnt disassemble the faucet so doubled his pricw trying to cut out the problem instead of fixing it. Ended up fixing the problem myself. Wanted to chargw me more money to come back and fix my spout, which he cut off and ruined. What a jerk. Avoid at all cost

Dave Stewart, Master Plumber of Half Price Plumber, did such a wonderful, neat, awesome priced Osmosis system installation for us today.
Dave set up an appointment right away. He actually wanted to come a day early but we had a commitment.
Most businesses make you wait weeks until they can come. Not Dave.
He was right on time, very pleasant, worked so neatly, cleaned up afterwards, and the quoted price was exactly as he had quoted!
Working under our sink with an existing Insinkerator under there as well isn't any fun.
Dave didn't complain about doing the osmosis installation at all!
We will definitely call him for any plumbing needs from now on.
Thank you so much Dave! You're the best!
All the five star reviews we read about Dave are true!

Half Price Plumber is exactly what I was looking for after being gouged by a couple other companies.  The others send a worker to your house and he's expected to generate more revenue by suggesting other plumbing 'needs'.  Dave at Half Price doesn't try to up-sell you and he's honest about his rates.  Since he's a one-man band with little overhead, his prices don't reflect advertising, employee benefits, and office costs....yet his plumbing knowledge is every bit as good.  Pay double or triple for the same service if you want....I prefer paying a more reasonable rate so Half Price Plumber gets my business.

After contacting several high priced plumbers, we found Half Price Plumber through Yelp. Also we found several recommendations on Nextdoor. Dave quoted us a price over the phone for a new hot water heater with installation. Since we did not have an emergency we set up an appointment two days later. Dave was very prompt, professional, courteous. His price was very fair. As a bonus, he tightened our kitchen faucet for free. We would definitely recommend his services.

Quick service and professional. Cheaper than other quotes I received. I will use him again.

I had David install my new kitchen faucet in May.  Because he did a great job, I had him install new faucets in both of my bathrooms today.  He is reasonably priced, and does a great job.  The best part is that he doesn't try to up sell the customer.  Before he left, he told me that I could call him with any plumbing questions I might have in the future. I definitely recommend him for all your plumbing needs.  He will give you a fair price.

David came and fixed my garbage disposal as well as my dishwasher. I highly recommend him. Very courteous and he came promply. His prices were fair and he did a really good job. I'm excited to be able to use my dishwasher once again! 5 star work and service

Dave did an amazing job plumbing in a sink and installing faucets , he asked questions to make sure we got what we wanted , he is an awesome guy highly recommended

I called a few places to get my filters on my reverse osmosis system changed. Some didn't called back or wanted too much. They came out quickly and on time, did a great job and were reasonable. Went above and beyond and tightened a loose faucet that the original installer left loose at no charge. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services.

Dave showed up to an appointment the day after I called.  He was on time, courteous, brought the necessary parts when I was unclear on the phone about the problem (fixing shower faucet that wasn't working) and was out of the house in 20 minutes.  His pricing is competitive.  I can't recommend him enough.

On time dependable,clean work, great job. They fixed my toilet. Explained everything that he was going to do and did just that.

David was professional.  His pricing was within reasonable range.  He repaired another plumber work without charging.  He arrived within his set time.  He was clean and repair was done in a timely manner.  He will be asked to come back for future problems.  I would definitely recommend him to a friend.

Dave was punctual called before he came and very nice. Came and changed the flappers for two of my toilets and was in and out in no time. Very honest he charged me less then the quote I was initially given so that's always a plus. Keeping his info for the future. I would definitely suggest using his services.

Does not even deserve one star... he is a flake he has done several jobs for me and it cost me more to fix what he did because he can't come back for a week to fix a toilet even though he replace all the parts 3 weeks prior and they fell apart... his estimates are always much more... DONE... he should call himself he half assed plummer.

My review is late in coming but should be 10 stars if they had it.
Dave was able to diagnose the problem that 2 other plumbers had missed in my RO system.   Not only that he offered to show me how to insert the little tube if I wanted to save a service call fee.    WOW.   It was nearly as simple as putting a straw into water.  Dave didn't need to take that business away from himself but it was VERY appreciated.    He has done several other larger jobs for me, too, and I'm as satisfied each time.  Thank you for your great service, Dave.   You're my go to plumber.
