I cannot thank Dave enough. He went above and beyond helping us to replace our gas water heater. He got us back up and running without very much down time. And his prices are very reasonable compared to another quote we received ! Give him a call you won't be sorry!!!

David came out quickly to repair a broken pipe in our garage- not an easy project since it connects to our well. We can always count on Dave for professional, high quality service at a reasonable rate. Best in the business!

Needed my water heater replaced. It was clear that he had a lot of experience. The install was fairly quick. He even helped me move my washer out of the way. Gave me some good tips for the future. The price was a little high, but it's a better water heater than the ones in stores. Plus I'm okay with paying for good service. If I have issues in the future, I'll be calling Richardson Plumbing again

Fantastic experience with David and Richardson Plumbing Co! Excellent craftmanship, great communication, and reasonable prices. Look no further! On short notice, between Christmas and New Year's Day, David replaced our failed water heater. He installed a new water heater and replaced a seized valve, restoring hot water to the home. David coordinated seamlessly with our tenants for installation timing. Noticing an original builder error, he also rerouted the copper cold water inlet so that it no longer runs against the rafters. 100% Recommended! Note: In the picture with the water heater, the water on the flooring is from the failed old water heater failure, and not from the install.

First off, Mr. Richardson is a true Master of his trade! He showed up with the proper tools, parts and knowledge to tackle the job. Not like most bigger companies that send out an apprentice that has to do 3 or 4 parts runs and majority of the billed labor was them YouTubing “how to fix…” while sitting in your driveway. To top it off he was willing to come on a Sunday and even stayed long enough to make sure the water was hot! Nobody ever wants to need a plumber but everyone always does at one point or another. Next time we do we’re calling Mr. Richardsons Plumbing Co.
