He was very knowledgeable and nice, but very slow to return my phone calls. The bid was the lowest one I got but I had to follow up with him twice in order to get the written bid. he gave me a verbal bid but that's not the same as a written bid. I had to follow up with them so many times for the bid that my confidence in them doing the work in a timely manner is pretty low. He was late, but he did call to let me know.

Our upstairs bathtub leaked water into our downstairs laundry room. Don arrived at our home in the evening and gave us a very reasonable estimate to replace cracked PVC pipes and put in a new bathtub drain and overflow device. We scheduled the repair on his calendar. On the day of the repair, Don telephoned us and kept us up-to-date about his arrival time, as he was working by himself on another service job. He had all of the pipes and new drain/overflow parts with him when he arrived. Within one hour he installed the new PVC pipes and drain kit. Don tested for any leaks several times, insuring that he was thoroughly satisfied that the pipes and drain were in perfect working order. Don left our laundry room and bathtub in clean condition. We believe he's a fair and honest individual and we will definitely call DDS Plumbing again for future needs. We highly recommend him.

Don and his crew have been one of the most capable and detail oriented contractors that I have ever worked with.They had our basement floor torn out, all new pipes, and re-concreted in four days. Unbelievably efficient and very high quality work. We are about to have him put in a new hot water heater and will continue to use him for any plumbing needs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Description of Work: We have been remodeling our entire basement and Don put in all new floor drains, toilet/drain, shower/drain, utility sink and laundry/drain. Replaced all water lines.

The job was delayed a few days due to a sick coworker, but I was notified well in advance, and was able to schedule a good alternate date. They arived with everything that they needed, and completed the work 1/2 hour quicker than what was estimated. Everything was cleaned up quickly.

Don arived on time. First thing after entering the home, he took his shoes off and went straight to the kitchen. After a little while, Don realized that he would need to purchase a new tool to complete the job. Although he was gone for a little while to retrieve the new tool, he informend me that he would not bill me for that time. After he returned, the job was completed quickly and cleanly. Don made sure to clean up any mess that was made and tested the repair several times. I was so impressed with his service, I had him return the next week to replace a section of main stack that was rusting through.
Description of Work: The kitchen drain pipe lieading into the wall to the main stack had split open along the bottom. Don was able to cut the pipe near the main stack, and replace the damaged section of copper pipe with PVC.

Don came in to check it out, as I thougth the leak was coming up from the pipe under the flooring. It was actually coming from the tank. After about 5 minutes of troubleshooting, Don fixed it with a pair of pliers. This is the ONLY plumber I willl be using in the future. All of the excellent reports on Angies List were dead on.

He fixed a leaking pipe near my water heater, he also fixed my toilet(it leaked near the wax seal under the toilet, and it also leaked in the seal between the tank and the bowl). He also fixed a leak in the faucet in my kitchen. He was very fast, thorough, and courteous. I am very happy with the work he did. I am recommending him to family and friends. Cost was very reasonable.
Description of Work: He fixed leaking pipe near water heater, two leaks in a toilet, and one leak in kitchen faucet.

Don came out on time and had the job done in less than 20 minutes. He was professional, he cleaned the sink area, and the sink worked perfectly. From talking to him, I discovered that this is truly a family run business. I would highly recommend DDS Plumbing and I won't hesitate to call him with any other plumbing issue.

We are remodeling our unfinished basement & adding a 3/4 bathroom. Unfortunately, the builders (Midland/Regency) didn't stub in any plumbing so Don & his employees jack-hammered out concrete and laid the pipes across the basement for a sink, toilet and shower. The original pipes under our house for sewage/drainage were installed wrong by the builder/plumber & Don fixed everything without charging extra even though it added an extra day or two of work. DDS also vented up through the 1st floor. Now everything is to code & perfect! We are thrilled. Don will return to install fixtures after we get the flooring installed. Don & his employees are always on time, clean & professional. Don supervised all the work & gave final approval on all work. He also called the city inspector to come out and pass the work & after everything passed, Don & his employees re-cemented the floor. We found Don on Angie's List & all the reports are true - he is the best!
Description of Work: Roughed in waste, water and vented as required by code. Jack-hammered concrete to lay pipes for 3/4 bath in unfinished basement. Did venting to 1st floor. Corrected previous builder/plumber's BAD & SHODDY plumbing job. After city passed the work, cemented over the new pipes. Will return to install new fixtures after the flooring is installed.

I was first call on Don's list on a Friday but he called to tell me that he was having vehicle troubles. He told me what time he would be at my house and he would take a look at the problem to determine if he could fix it himself. Don came over and was very nice and he thought it was a leaky pipe from the toilet and they would take care of it. Because he was down a vehicle instead of being scheduled at 8:30am, they didn't get to me until 2pm! The other guy came and cut a nice big hole in the bathroom ceiling only to find out it wasn't the toilet above but a bad weld in our water line! He said it was an ?easy fix? and took care of it.
Description of Work: Determined where leak was coming from, found leak at 90 degree joint in waterline, cut out old pipe, installed new angle joint, welded shut

He originally came to look at our old leaky faucet. He tried putting new parts in to see if that would solve the problem and it did not. He called Delta to see if would replace the faucet and they would not. He suggested to purchase a new faucet. He was there about an hour or so, and only charged a trip fee of $30, which was very nice. He came back about a month later and installed the faucet. It took him about an hour. He did not charge a trip fee this time, again very nice. He was very professional, but also conversational too. He always took his shoes off prior to walking on the floor. Don is very respectful and runs his business well. He is highly recommended!
Description of Work: Don installed a new kitchen faucet in our home. It was a four hole faucet from Delta.

Description of Work: I used angie"s list to choose this plumber and I am so glad that I did. He was on time, quick, and did exactly what he said he was going to do. I had been putting off this job for years because I was afraid of how much it would cost. DDS was very reasonable. My shower was dripping and he fixed it.

Came out quickly when called. Diagnosed the problem right away and was able to fix both toilets quickly after the parts were available. One of the toilets had been fixed multiple times by other providers in the past with unsatisfactory results. It's nice to have the issue finally resolved after two years! He was also very friendly and nice to talk to.

Don was reliable - showed up when he said he would and send text messages or called to let me know he was on the way. While I wasn't happy that I had leaks I couldn't have been more impressed with him! Will recommend him to friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: Came in initially to respond to a leaking washer. After looking for the problem we couldn't find the leak nor recreate it again - he spent a couple of hours trying to track it down and didn't charge me! I had a leaky shower drain he replaced - he even coordinated the tile guy to come out and do the necessary repairs.

DDS Plumbing was fantastic! I called them and they came out the same day to give me an estimate. They gave me a great rate. The work ended up costing half of what another company was going to charge. They were able to come back two days later to complete all of the work. I was extremely pleased with their services. I will definitely call them back in the future.

Don was very helpful on the phone. He was here when he said he would be, even on a Saturday. He had to go get a couple of parts, and was really prompt at coming back and working on the repair. He explained things to me in detail so I would not only know what he was doing but to learn also as I just bought the fixer upper home 2 years ago. He cleaned up all of the mess and took the old galvanized pieces with him. He was very polite and I will highly recommend him to everyone. I purchased my house through Neighborhood Finance, and I will be sure to let them know about the great job Don did.
Description of Work: Don replaced the drain pipes from both sides of my kitchen sink, up underneath the bottom of sink where it screws on, to the p-trap, had to cut into the wall, to recontect the exhaust pipe that was broken off from the original galvanized pipe, then remove and replace several feet of the old pipe, joints and all, then reconnect the new CORRECT size of pvc that went to the drain.
