The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I contacted this business and was told they would have come on last Friday in the morning. They never showed up for the entire day and never called. I called them several times and left several messages. No even the courtesy to let me know they would not come. We were left with a leaking kitchen sink that is not usable. Very unprofessional and rude behavior”
“My wife had them install a free standing tub in the master bathroom. They had to fix some pipes underneath the house, which they did satisfactory. Unfortunately, they really screwed up the tub installation. When my wife took a bath the faucet fell off into the tub. Had a plumber out today to fix tub, but he couldn’t due to holes in tub being cut crooked and not wide enough, caused the hoses to crimp. Also, they …”
Positive
“Mr Davis did a fantastic job replacing the shut off valve to my mom's house and a shower handle that went bad. He also put a shut off valve for the shower. Very respectful and reasonable. Will call him for our plumbing issues for now on. Thanks you Mr Davis and Thomas!”
“Mr. Davis came to my house on New Years Eve within a couple hours to fix a broken water line. Discovered that it was a leaking valve on the sprinkler system - could have charged for much larger repair, but didn't. Mr. Davis is honest, reliable, and trustworthy... I highly recommend him.”
