What reviewers report — the concerns
Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.
Red flag
Plumbing-related remodel work caused mold per one customer — water gushing behind new shower wall into son's room, restoration crew called but repair follow-through documented as poor.
“Within two weeks I smelled mold coming out of my sons room, found water at his baseboard which butts up against the new shower wall.”
Red flag
Emergency dispatch documented as failing — reviewer was promised afternoon arrival on a 12/7 water leak, told at 3:30 PM the call was actually for the next day.
“At 11:30, Daniel's assured me they would send someone out by the afternoon, I received a text and an email assuring me of the same.”
Red flag
Tech described as rude/upfront-payment-demanding at a commercial site before even diagnosing — escalated as a refusal-to-service incident.
“He was extremely rude to us and refused to help until we pay him half down before he even looked at the issue.”
Quoted $400+ for a simple kitchen clog that two other plumbers priced at $200; ultimately done elsewhere for $150 in 15 minutes.
“Quoted me over $400 to snake a simple kitchen clog. The plumber was a total "slick" salesman.”
AC repair quote pattern flagged — cheapest of three options was $2,400 with 'no guarantee', upsold toward $5,700, when second-opinion fix cost $775.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I had a bad experience with Daniel's Plumbing. They were a no show for an appointment. They have a very and ridiculously long period of five hours during which they may show up for an appointment. Most firms use a period of two hours. Don't rely upon them to show up.”
“Don't even bother dealing with this company. I woke up on Christmas morning to find my outdoor pipe burst and was spraying water everywhere. I called a few plumbing companies that morning hoping to get a head start on getting scheduled. Daniel said that someone can come out the following day (on the 26th) in the afternoon and I got scheduled. I read the bad reviews, but thought this might be different situation. I …”
“In summary, they quoted us over $700 for work that would have taken less than an hour and parts less than $50 total. Sean came and said it would cost more than $300 to fix the toilet that keeps running. He did say that his company built the plumbing system in our 3 year old house as well as the other houses in our Pulte (Parmer Crossing) subdivision. My first thought was, how come there are problems already, …”
Positive
“It was nice to have both Marvin and Randy show up at our house for the diagnostics estimate when our air conditioning was not working. It turned out to be a piece of wire which was broken which made the fan not work and caused mold to build up. Marvin installed an ultraviolet light to kill the mold and bacteria in the vents. We have cooler air now in the house. They helped us get a membership to help discount the …”
“very impressed with the entire process of having my new hvac system installed. When i first inquired, the company quickly set me up with a consult, they came out explained everything and provided me with a quote. Not pushy at all. After shopping around, I chose them. Today Ryan and Elvin came out on time. Did the install answered all my questions, cleaned up, helped me understand the system and couldnt be any …”
