Customer-saving honesty: tech assessed two damaged toilets and said only one needed replacing, saving hundreds
1 cited review
“Both toilets in our home were damaged and we thought we needed 2 new toilets installed... they determined that we only needed to purchase one toilet, but the second one needed to be reset and other minor repairs. That decision saved us hundreds of dollars.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Inquired about needing a service done at my residence and person replied back quickly then all communication stopped on their part.”
“This company was a huge disappointment. I called them based on recommendations from Next door. The technician was very friendly and professional but did leave a big pile of dirt in my front yard. $320 for a one hour job is excessive gouging.”
Positive
“I Had a main line clog. I initially called a different plumber because it was on a Sunday and also over the holiday weekend and Don the Plumber was closed. The other plumber that I called prices were so high, I decided to wait until Monday to call Don the Plumber. On Monday when I called Don the Plumber I spoke with Laura, who is extremely nice and very knowledgeable. She sent Rafael out and he was timely, fast and …”
“Don and his crew are excellent. Great communication from the start and through out the process. They diagnosed the issue and got right to work. The work was exceptional. He located a box that had been missing for years. They were fair priced. They cleaned up and left it in perfect shape. Highly recommend!”
