Excellent! Steve arrived when he said he would and completed the job in less time, then he thought it would take.
Description of Work: He replaced galvanized pipe running to the water heater with black iron, so my mother's house would pass a house inspection and could be sold.

It went very well. Repairs were complete within 3 hours of the first conversation. Steve is well versed in his trade and willing to share information with the homeowner. Careful and courteous about his work.
Description of Work: Repaired dripping faucet that I had attempted a repair on.... then found and corrected the overall problem which was a pressure system. Also completed several less urgent repairs on a toilet and drain. Offered advice on what I would need to do to complete the potential "residual" repairs myself.

This is the third time I've used Dunbar Plumbing and as before I'm totally satisfied. Steve always shows up on time and and is very professional in everything he does. While he likes to do repairs using the best (and most expensive) replacement parts he's also willing to work within my budget to get the job done. His years of experience allows him to diagnose the problem instantly and make repairs that will last. He's truly a master plumber.
Description of Work: Rebuilt a bathtub faucet that most plumbers would have insisted on replacing. In order to repair the faucet, Steve had to chip out concrete that another plumber had used to en-case the part of the faucet that needed repairing thus saving me at least a couple of hundred dollars that a replacement would have cost. The old faucet now is as good as new.

drain cleaning

I decided to call HC Dunbar Plumbing based on info provided thru Angie's List. Steve returned my call with 1 hr. He asked me describe the problem - clogged basement drain. Gave me an estimate based on an hourly rate and equipment use. Said he could be there next day and gave me a 2 hr time window. He called within that window. Arrived and assessed situation and said he would try to see if the power snake would bust thru the clog in what he suggested was in the transition area right where the pipe goes into and under the basement floor. After getting thru the original clog he kept working to create as wide of an opening as possible. We discussed some future options to replace the transition pipe once and for all. Steve gave me a guesstimate on a cost for that project. The final cost of unclogging drain was basically what he quoted over the phone. He showed me some info and pictures I could review on his website to see the repair/replace that would be involved on future project.
Description of Work: Steve used a power driven snake to unclog a transition pipe going from PVC pipe to a bigger sewer pipe. The transition area is mostly under the concrete basement floor.

Steve returned my calls promptly and arrived on time on the day he was supposed to. He went to work right away, solved the problem on the first try and cleaned up the mess as he went. He even looked at my gas water heater to see why the pilot light wasn't staying lit. He has no problem explaining the "what and why" he is doing something. I have used this company in the past and I will not hesitate to call him again for any plumbing issues I have.
Description of Work: Both the basement and outside drains had clogged up turning my basement floor into a cold, wet mess. Steve came and cleaned out the pipes and got all the water flowing out again. The drain had gotten clogged from tree roots invading over the years. He cleared the roots and recommended a product to pour into the drain annually to try and help keep the drains free flowing. I purchased the product and he instructed me as he did it on how to mix it/apply it, and the importance of not running water threw the drain while it worked. He also told me I could call him next year to purchase the product from him if I did not find it easily when the time came to use it. As my house has drain cap/drains that are cast iron, Steve also had an initial problem getting the old cap off easily, he replaced the cap with a new one after servicing.

Steve is the best. Not only does he do excellent work, he takes care of and is concerned to protect my house and property. He takes his time and does the job right the first time. His prices are extremely fair so I don't even ask for a price before he does the work. If anyone is going to do plumbing jobs for me, it is going to be Dunbar Plumbing.
Description of Work: Repaired copper pipe for shower, repaired frozen copper pipe, replaced shower valve, installed four sink faucets and one bath faucet.

The service was wonderful. He wore shoe covers over his boots and was extremely neat and courteous. I was at my wits end with no working showers and a two week old baby! I couldn't have asked for better plumbing experience.
Description of Work: I had an unidentified clog blocking my entire upstairs plumbing, which meant only one working toilet in the house (urge!). He assessed the situation and gave me several scenarios for the cause so I would not be shocked by the price of the repair. He started by running a snake through the most likely spot in the plumbing system and continued checking his progress with the rest of the plumbing. He was successful in dislodging the unknown clog and all of our upstairs plumbing begain to drain (two showers & two toilets)! He also adjusted one of our toilets so it would flush/fill properly!

He was professional, friendly, efficient, informative and made sure the work area was kept clean during installation. Also made sure that clean up was complete. He gave a window of 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to arrive. He called at 10:00 a.m. to say he would arrive closer to 12:00 p.m. That was an extra step he took that allowed us to adjust our schedule, much appreciated by us.
Description of Work: Installed a new kitchen faucet and disposal. Also checked hot water heater and offered advise on when to replace. Also reviewed hot water heater options, tank and tank less.

It went a lot better than expected. He came when he said he would. He put on footies over his work boots, most contractors don't do that. He was honest with us. Of the two choices he had to fix it, he tried the easier and less expensive one first.
Description of Work: We had a deodorant stick cap stuck in our toilet, our 12 month old put it in there. The company representative came when he said he would, and was able to pop it out with a snake. This was the easier of the two alternatives that he gave us. He tried the easy one first, and it worked.

We called Steve for the installation of two complex reverse osmosis and whole house filtering systems. Initially, we left a message on his cell phone. He promptly got back to us and scheduled an appointment next day in spite of the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday. We were absolutely impressed with his professionalism, knowledge of his work and familiarity with new trends in water filtration systems. And that's not all! Steve is not only an excellent plumber, but also an artist. His design of the complex whole house filtration system made a very convoluted piping system look slick and aesthetic. But above all we were impressed with his integrity at work, meticulousness, neatness, precision and thoughtfulness. We are at peace. We have a plumber we can trust. Thank you Steve!

Steve was very professional from the start. Very informative about the problems we had and their causes; specifically our high water pressure. None of the other plumbers we called talked about this. His bid was far and away the best and he did the job in 2 days as he said he would. Very pleased with the work and plan on using him again.
Description of Work: Replaced toilet in the basement; replaced all of the old galvanized pipes, replaced fixtures on stationary tubs, stopped leak and put new shower head on utility shower in the basement, installed new water regulators.

water heater repair

While he was there, he found that my outside drain was partially clogged with silth and gravel probably from new house construction up the hill from the drain and this was interfering with the interior drain which he was using to drain the water heater. He cleared the exterior drain and also cleared the area of fallen leaves which would have interfered with the efficiency of the drain, and maybe led to water in my finished basement which has been a problem in the past. I can always count on Steve to make sure that everything is done correctly when he does work for me, and I have complete trust and confidence in his knowledge and abilities. I wouldn't consider calling any other plumber.
Description of Work: Performed routine service to water heater including annual checkup and draining.

This is the second time that I have used Dunbar Plumbing and once again I was extremely pleased with their work. I found Steve to be extremely professional, easy to work with and most important, he does quality work. Steve installed a new sump pump and a back up system to be used in case of a power outage. While installing the pump, he also took the initiative to make several adjustments on the inflow piles that eliminated additional wear on the pump and resulted in a much quieter operation. He also fixed my Toilet which was driving us "nuts." I would highly recommend Dunbar for any plumbing job. In my book, they are the best.
Description of Work: Job 1: Repaired shower, replaced a water line in basement installed new laundry double tub which included moving pipe lines and installing a new faucet. Also upgraded connections on water heater. Job. ($520) 2: Installed Sump Pump and Back Up System. Also, fixed Toilet that continued to run after flushing. ($425)

The gentleman who fulfilled the call arrived on time, and was professional in action and conversation. He even removed his shoes before entering my home. He explained to me exactly what the problem was and provided some very helpful insight to another problem. He adjusted the bill from $90 to $70 (did not take a full hour). I have scheduled some additional plumbing work with Dunbar Plumbing to be completed in the next week.
Description of Work: On Saturday, July 8 I discovered water seeping out from under my kitchen sink onto wood flooring. I found Dunbar plumbing in the Yellow Pages and called. The gentleman who answered my call, told me a time and price ($90 an hour for weekend call) for the visit. He called me before he arrived and corrected the problem.

We have always had a good experiance with the services of H C DUNBAR PLUMBING SERVICES and will continue to use him in the future.
Description of Work: I had new cabinets installed at at my house requiring that my sink be moved. The contractor provided a plumber that was supposed to come back to finish the plumbing on a specific date and had left town. Having H C DUNBAR PLUMBING SERVICES perform services in the past, we called H C DUNBAR PLUMBING SERVICES came over on a Sunday and looked at the work in place, after accessing the contractors work H C DUNBAR PLUMBING SERVICES informed my wif e and I that the existing work was not up to code. Advising us on what to do and how to approach the company doing the new install, H C DUNBAR PLUMBING SERVICES also followed up with us to see if the plumbing work was finished and inspected. This is going way beyound the call of duty
