Description of Work: My toilet was replaced with a new taller and water efficient one and they replaced the nobs on my tub that were broken. They were perfect, came out right away in the morning being that the toilet broke in middle of the night. Quick and efficient. Couldn't be happier!honestly cannot remember the date or exact price as it was over a year ago and just realized I had not posted anything

Description of Work: install kitchen faucet. it went ok, but he had to come back to tighten as they became very loose, which he complained about. after he unscrewed a piece of sheetrock to see where the leak was coming from he charged me an additional 25 dollars to screw it back in. will not use again.

Great!
Description of Work: I called David at ~2:30 this afternoon and now at 5:30 I have. New water heater completely installed and functional! I smelled electrical char and new this would probably mean a new water heater. I never imagined that three hours later it would be fixed. Not only that but he also installed two new cutoff valves before and after the water heater. David is very personable and very above board. He likes a sizable down payment for new customers and then invoices the rest. Very happy with his service!

Angie's List really came through for us! David Howard is professional and courteous. His work is of the highest quality. He arrives when he says he will and never leaves a mess behind. His charge is not cheap, but I think it's reasonable - specially considering the high quality of his work. When he sees other things that need work, he tells you, but never pushes. Every one of his suggestions has been valid and really needed to be done. We couldn't be happier and will surely use his services in the future.
Description of Work: David rebuilt my 2 shower controls. He also rebuilt my kitchen faucet and completely re-plumbed the under-sink drain for that unit. He also boiled out the coil on our furnace to increase the volume of hot water. In addition, he installed an air gap interface on our water filter where it exhausts into the septic line.

We did not have water so we called David. David came quickly and analyzed the problem which was the pump in the well.He recommended someone who fixes or replaces pumps. They both returned within an hour. An hour later we had water.Most of the cost was the materials. The labor was about $500 for both.They were very professional and I would certainly call upon David again.Michele - New Milford, Ct.

I have used Mr. Howards services many times in the past, and he is the only plumber I recommend to all my real estate clients, as well as family and friends. I have found him to be very detail oriented, fair, and most of all, the consumate professional. He takes on all the difficult jobs, and is like a detective when it comes to diagnosing a problem, and I have been very satisfied with all the owrk he has done in my home for the pastr 10 years.
Description of Work: Changed out 4 toilets hardware and tank apparatus, checked complete plumbing system throughout the entire house, changed out well sediment filter, and tested system for leaks.

Well, I called David on his hot line and he got back with me in less the ten minutes. This was not quiet an emerency as we has discussed on the phone but it could have been if I continued doing what I was doing to shut off the fauset. He upgraded my problem to a high concern and asked me to not turn the handle any more until he got to my home, which was the next day. He fixed the problem quickly and efficiently and was on his way.
Description of Work: The handle to the water filter was leaking. The main water feed was coming into the handle and the handle was quiet old. This was turning into a real nightmear because I had to shut this water valve inorder to change the water filter. The filter needed changing and the more I movet the water fauset the more it leaked. David showed up on the day he said he would, which by the way was only one day after the call, and fixed the handle. The process was extensive because he had to drain the tank, and drain the water to a point where he could sweat the joins and get the old fauset out. He worded with knowledge as to how to handle the problem and in no time flat, 1 1/2 hours, David was done and I was back in business. Really a good job done.

It was good service, but it was very expensive. He was a very nice man and he was very prompt - I called him in the morning and he was there in a few hours. The only problem I have is that he is expensive. I feel that I could have searched around and found someone less expensive, but maybe not as responsive. I would use him again if I didn't have time to look around for other people.

I had a slow drip on an old kitchen sink for about a month. On a Saturday morning after doing the dishes, the drip got significantly worse. I was going to take apart the faucet but found when I tried to turn off the shut-off valve, it was stripped. I also noticed that the faucet was leaking a bit under the sink. I had found Mr. Howard's site on the Web a couple days before when looking for plumber to do another job in my house. I found that someone had posted something positive on Howard on a blog, I liked his site and he was nearby so I called him. He was at my house within 30 mins. He fixed everything, replaced my old faucet, and shut-off valve. He also offered some advice for some other plumbing issues my house has.
Description of Work: Replaced a dripping kitchen faucet and shut-off valve - was at my house in 30 mins and was finished within an hour and a half.
