His services were highly appreciated. He was able to diagnose right away what was causing the water leak onto the first floor ceiling from the 2nd floor toilet. He removed a lot of gunk, declogged the first floor lavatory sink. He capped the sump pump as required of me by Newton Sewer. He called me up to tell me he was running late due to an emergency call.

Dan, the company owner, arrived early for our 8:00 am appointment, and waited at curbside. When I saw his truck, I invited him in and showed him the problems. 1. Bathroom faucet was leaking, and the under-sink shutoff valves wouldn't turn. He freed up the valves and fixed the leak. 2. Toilet refill was slow and loud. (I had already replaced the flush valve, cutting the refill time from 5 minutes to 3 minutes). Dan replaced the flex line with no charge for the part. 3. Outside faucet was leaking at the stem. (I had already tried the WD-40 trick, but the seal was too far gone.) Dan rebuilt the stem and stopped the leak. All the work was finished within the allotted time. Dan was very professional and personable, and he gave me good advice on the feasibility of a future project I have been contemplating. I wouldn't hesitate to call on him again for my future needs.

Dan and Anna were great in terms of responsiveness. I asked questions through the Angie's List messaging system to inquire about their big deal and what my plumbing needs would require beyond that. Dan was very detailed in his response, making me feel very comfortable about purchasing the deal. Once I did, I heard from Anna within 24 hours and we continued to communicate via email to schedule the job within a week and a half of when I purchased the big deal. Dan arrived within the window Anna had provided and walked with me through my house so I could explain the issues, then he immediately got to work. The whole visit took an hour, which was even less time than Dan had estimated in his messages. The pipe in our basement took the longest, but he was very efficient and only had our water off for about 20 minutes. He then investigated the "dripping" sound by running water in our shower and coming down with me to listen through the walls. There is no water damage and no visible sign of water anywhere, and the sound did not occur during this investigation. With all of that in mind, Dan concluded that the sound we're hearing is most likely the sound of our pipes expanding against the wood when hot water runs into colder pipes, which is more common now that the weather is turning chillier. He even described the sound better-- a "tick" sound rather than a drip. The outside faucet seemed to have taken only a few minutes to switch out. Now everything for our outdoor water looks great (very slick) and functions perfectly, both inside and outside. The total cost was $100 for the big deal, which covered labor, and only $28 for parts, which was much less than I was expecting overall.
Description of Work: Dan replaced the shut off valve in our basement, which leads to the outdoor faucet. He also replaced the outside faucet for our hose. And he diagnosed a noise we have been hearing in our wall which we thought might be related to our upstairs bathroom plumbing.

Dan was fantastic and his assistant Anna was also very helpful. We had ordered a new washing machine but when the machine came the installers found that a hose was leaking and they could not install. I was pretty desperate for clean clothes already because we had waited 2-1/2 weeks for the washing machine. I purchased an Angie's deal with DMG plumbing and they scheduled us for the next available date which was a week away. When I explained our situation to Anna, she said she would try to get us in earlier if there was a cancellation. Fortunately for us, Dan was able to come 4 days earlier and we had clean clothes and linens within a few hours. Dan was fast, efficient and effective and he was done within an hour and even came out on a Saturday. Anna was extremely helpful and communicative about scheduling. I have already scheduled Dan for our next house project that requires a plumber.

My husband could not get the faucet off and we had to find a plumber to do it. I called DMG's office and Anna, the receptionist was very professional. We agreed to email back and forth on arranging the date and time. Dan came out on a Saturday for us as we both work and that was perfect for our schedule. I bought the faucet ahead of time from a plumbing supply place and Dan pulled the old one out and replace it. He arrived on time and had the faucet installed within an hour and half. I would definitely use DMG Plumbing again and would recommend him.

I hired this company through an Angie's List special promotion -- $89 for 1 hour of plumbing services. (The job wound up taking two hours. With $120 for materials, the total charge came to $300.) Dan was punctual, professional, and friendly. We discussed my project, and he suggested the best approach. It's probably inappropriate to describe his work as artistic, but it was so well done that it was akin to artistry. It was definitely high quality -- the PVC pipes were perfectly aligned and well-supported; the joints were neat and clean. He was quick and efficient, finishing the job in just two hours. He left the basement spotless upon completion. My only quibble might be over the price. I'm not sure, as I didn't shop around much, but $90/hour seems like a lot for plumbing services. (If he puts in 40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year, that's a $180,000 a year!) But if you are seeking reliability, efficiency, quality, and professionalism, and if price isn't that much of a concern, DMG is a great choice.

It was a pleasure working with you and appreciate your kind words. We at DMG plumbing take pride in our work and acknowledgment as such is our reward. Additionally DMG Plumbing keeps it's prices as low as possible and actually is at the lower scale of hourly rates amongst our legitimate competitors. The hourly rate does not reflect our technicians yearly gross pay. The majority of our rate goes to insurance, Workman's comp, State fee's, over head fees, advertising, Licenses, and miscellaneous cost needed to run and operate a legitimate business. Believe me, Dan wishes his gross pay reflects your Math. As the old saying Goes - " you get what you pay for" ...DMG Believes in this and you will always get above an beyond what you pay for. Again thank you for your kind works. DMG Plumbing, Inc.

I purchased a big deal from Angie's List and it was a very happy experience. He was very good and polite. He was very nice to deal with. He did a good job and we are happy with the new disposal. He charged me other than the big deal, as I paid for the new disposal. The disposal was an expensive kind. He was very quick, he came and inspected it and then he came back in just a few days and put it in. His price was fair. His responsiveness was very good and he was on time.

Dan was very accommodating. I had to change my day at the last minute due to family illness. It was rescheduled for the following week and ended up coming early. Being Saturday that worked out well for me. He did the toilet first and was very efficient and neat. He cleaned up all water and dirt when finished. The kitchen sink faucet was a little more work. He made sure the surface was very clean when he installed the new one. He actually finished a little early. Was very happy with his service and would deffinately use again.

The service went very well once the plumbing company contacted me. The plumber arrived as scheduled, was very professional, and did an excellent job installing the fawcett and disconnecting the dishwasher.. The only problem was that the company secretary did not contact me until 3 weeks after I had contracted for the service.

Expected the two jobs to be done in one hour, but unfortunately the contractor said he didn't have a part available in his van and he had to go back to his warehouse to get it. So a major chunk of the counted service time was spent on fetching the needed part from warehouse and as a customer you have to pay for this "extra time". But overall the on-site job was done very well.

We had a leaking pipe under the kitchen sink. We called Dan in the afternoon and he was able to come by the next day. He was very professional and replaced the copper pipe with the leak. He also found issues with the basket strainer in our sink as well as the dishwasher tail piece and repaired/replaced them both. We were quite pleased with the work and would recommend Dan for any plumbing work.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. He wasn't able to fix the main problem but he took care of the other things so we're struggling with the main problem but that wasn't his fault.
Description of Work: DMG Plumbing Inc. came out because we had a problem with the fixture in the bathroom, the part with a leak. The leak was fixed but the overall functionality of the replaced parts that came in weren't good. It's not leaking anymore but it's not functioning either. He was able to do the other thing that was required which was putting an outdoor faucet.

This was amazing! Scheduling was easy - all done online through Angie's List message service because I bought a "Big Deal" special. Dan came exactly on time and was professional, friendly, and thorough. I am a new homeowner, and this was my first call to a plumber. Dan very easily explained everything he was doing. The "leaky" toilet ended up being a bigger job than I anticipated, but the cost was completely reasonable. I will also point out that I was working from home that day, and Dan was very careful to keep noise down when I took a few phone calls. I did not ask him to do that - he was just very respectful and courteous on his own. I highly recommend this service to anyone - Dan is a really knowledgeable plumber, and I felt like I got great value for all of the work he did.

We bought the $89.00 big deal for an hour's worth of plumbing services. DMG was quick to schedule our service. On the scheduled day and time, Dan showed up right on time and got to work quickly. Our house had some plumbing work done by a previous owner, and it seems that a few mistakes made by this person had been causing some occasional drips from some pipes beneath our kitchen sink. Dan diagnosed and fixed both of these. The outlet hose for the dishwasher also had some issues (it seems the original hose was too short, and so had a kink in it). Dan fixed this issue by extending this hose to its proper length, and even secured the hose against the side of the cabinet so it wouldn't be in the way. Before he left, Dan also diagnosed another plumbing issue with a shower upstairs. Though it's not an immediate priority for us now, we will certainly be calling Dan up to fix this issue when we get around to it. All in all, we were extremely pleased with the work Dan did, as well as his professionalism and friendly disposition. We've now worked with 4 different plumbers since moving into our place, and I wish that we had found Dan much earlier!
