I have used O C Mc Donald for several years. I call them for two rentals and my own home. I highly recommend them. They are prompt to respond with good follow through. Workmanship is pleasant and outstanding. Office staff is very professional and supportive. Great company that is dependable and trust-worhy. I will continue using and recommending them!
Description of Work: The toilet valve was leaking and repaired. The plumber found the problem immediately. I had a concern for the seating of the toilet and to make certain there was no leak there as well.The toilet was lifted and resealed and no leak was found. I was pleased with the resealing. I felt listened to and reassured by the quality of the work.

I would not ever recommend them for anything. I think the owner had come out to give us an estimate. The owner didn?t take any of the Hazmat precautions while doing the work. So I ended up having to spend over $2000 for the Hazmat cleanup because of what he did. So I would never, ever, ever recommend him, even if he has new employees. He wasn?t reliable. He was terrible. He transported the items in plastic bags and in an open truck without closing the bags. The tenants were almost getting ready to sue me. The price wasn?t the cheapest that I could have got and it was medium. He replaced the furnace with a similar furnace and he didn?t use the downgraded size which they had that time but I didn?t notice it. They also had downgraded ductwork at that time, which I would have preferred. I was irritated since he charged me a lot of money and he didn?t even provide the best product. The experience was lousy. He was very unresponsive when I called him with my complaint. He did not pay for the Hazmat work. He refused to believe that he had done anything wrong. I could have turned him in but I didn?t go that far. His punctuality wasn?t good and he wasn?t professional either. I would never use them.
Description of Work: O C McDonald Company was supposed to fix the ducting in my two houses in 1996. They were supposed to take off the asbestos from the ducting pipes and then dispose of it. The owner took it out and disposed it. They also installed two furnaces and did the ductwork.

They are more geared for businesses and not residential work. They are a little higher priced too. The person who came out to give us the quote was a nice person. He was here right on time. As we talked it became clear that they specialized in bigger projects, and not residential homes. It’s really what they are designed for because they have the manpower to come and select tools and businesses. They cater more towards business projects than residential projects.
Description of Work: I contacted OC McDonald Co Inc. to get a quote for some plumbing work.

The gentleman that always comes out is outstanding. He is very good and very professional, and he always finds the problem and fixes it. The office staff is very professional as well.
Description of Work: OC McDonald took care of a plugged drain in a bathtub. He was only here an hour, I believe.

Since we have an old 1927 (with only one bathroom) house it was important that the job be completed in the same day. The thought of not having a serviceable bathroom terrified us. Thirty minutes into the job, our plumber told us he had to go back to the shop to get some special parts. An hour later he was back and was able to completely swap out the old toilet with the new one in under 3 hours. The new Toto toilet uses 5 bolts instead of the standard 2 so he had to drill new bolts through 2 layers of tile and our sub floor. I think he used a few drill bits. The end result was a beautifully installed toiled with all new connectors and water hookup. The work was first rate and I appreciated that he cleaned up nicely. We hired O.C. McDonald based on previous work they've done for us. They are a local union shop near downtown San Jose that has moved into big commercial projects, but still keeps a few plumbers available for the local residents who've used them for years.
Description of Work: Hired O.C. McDonald to replace our ancient Briggs toilet with a brand new dual flush Toto Aquia toilet. Our old toilet's bolts were no longer keeping the toilet securely bolted to the ground and our worry was that this was going to be a timely and costly repair.

This is a big plumbing company, I mean they are huge. They are a real good company. They are the best. They know what their doing and you don't have anymore problems because so many other plumbing companies come out and you still have leaks.
Description of Work: Washing machine repaired for leaks. Changed handles and bibs and reinstalled handles into wall.
