“David completed a job that another plumber refused to attempt. It involved using a jackhammer with a whole bunch of skill, experience, and creativity. His quote was the final price which is extremely unusual. David carefully explained what he was doing and even gave us options. We chose the one he thought was the best, because it made the most sense. We highly recommend David for any plumbing job no matter how large …”
“This was the second time I have called David with Dry Spot. Both times service was incredibly fast and affordable. I called midday with a water heater issue yesterday and by midday today I am looking at a new system. He is friendly, professional, and does high quality work! Highly recommend!”
