Olde Towne stepped in after Home Depot refused to install our new dishwasher because the shut-off valve for the washer is in the basement. Olde Towne sent someone within an hour. The installation was somewhat complex but the Olde Towne tech stuck with it and got it done. We were very pleased.
Description of Work: Removal of old dishwasher and installation of new one.

They had excellent, honest advice, and saved me a lot of money by finding less expensive ways to properly fix items that I expected to replace. Excellent job and professionalism by all 3 workers. Even if their quoted price seemed higher, I believe I paid less in the long run.

In the process of getting a shower leak fixed by this service provider. I've ordered parts from Kohler (warranty only applies to original purchaser) and will use Old Towne to perform the installation. Will update review once complete.

Response from Olde Towne Plumbing LLC
Dan Kofahl I am the owner of Olde Towne Plumbing. The day after this report I phoned the customer and apologized for any mis-communication that may have occurred during our visit to his home. My Master plumber Martin who has been with me 7 years and is an exceptional plumber and spokesperson for our firm went to the customer's home to look at his shower faucet.The customer had tried to repair this faucet earlier and was unable to do so. Upon inspection we observed that there was no access panel for this faucet, (having just worked on this identical faucet at another home 2 days before we knew what it could involve) We advised that without having the new parts in hand and no valves to isolate the shower faucet we could take it apart and may not be able to get it back together. We offered to open the wall and install a new faucet or wait and allow the customer to get the parts again for free from Kohler and allow us to try and repair it. At last conversation with the customer he said he would recant his negative report, get the parts and call us back for the repair. I do not feel we are at fault, we advised him the best we could, we did not charge him anything and thought we had left on good terms, just as I thought after my subsequent phone conversation with him. We do everything in our power to take care of our customers and will continue to do so.

Overall each time the work has gone fine.
Description of Work: Blaine from Olde Towne Plumbing has done work for me numerous times on two older homes during the last 25 years. I always ask for him when I need a plumber and he always does an outstanding job and explains what he'll be doing each time. He has replaced sink fixtures and toilets, fixed toilets, unclogged drains, replaced an outdoor faucet, repaired major plumbing line. One time when Blaine was busy on another job, Dan Kofahl came out and he also did a fine job. I trust Blaine's work and pricing. I would recommend him and Olde Towne Plumbing highly.

Arrived early, very professional.
Description of Work: Had a very bag clog in our main drain - couldn't use either bathroom nor kitchen sink. The plumber had to climb onto the roof to "snake" out via the air intake. He also rebuilt the pipes underneath the kitchen sink for us (they were damaged by our DIY attempt to fix the clog).

With my permission, they arrived earlier than scheduled and quickly got my pump working again. When he noticed some extra water, he was quick to clean up. The cost was higher than I had expected, but the responsiveness and professionalism was greatly appreciated. I would use them again.
Description of Work: They restored my backup sump pump's ability to pump water when needed. They moved & replaced the check valve and drilled a "weep hole" as directed by the manufacturer

The office staff was extremely helpful--they did not have slots open, but found out that we needed the spigots replaced immediately as we were having some landscaping (installed sod) done in the back yard and had to water, water, water. The office person rearranged the day to get the plumber in by 10:30, without me even asking! Very lovely, accommodating service in that regard. The plumber was 10 minutes early, and did a great job.
Description of Work: Replaced two exterior spigots that were leaking, as well as performing some welding work in the basement--on the hottest day of the year!

We have used Old Towne Plumbing several times for everything from a camera drain inspection during our home purchase to a leaky faucet and a broken water heater. In this time we have met at least three of their plumbers, each of whom has been very knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient in their work. Though they are a little pricey, I still call them every time we have an issue as they are quick to come and solve the problem.

Phone contact was good: prompt, courteous & told my minimum cost if serviceman came out & rate for work. Serviceman Blaine came out same day (tho' this was not an emergency). He was prompt, courteous & a steady worker. He repaired the drainline from my bathtub & replaced the stopper system. A week later, everything works properly and well. A good job all around.

I like Dan Kofahl of Olde Towne Plumbing. I kind of know the receptionist and she knows who I am. I also know that Dan is friends with a number of other service people in the area, sort of a chummy thing. I threw them a few curves time wise so we had a little scheduling conflict, but I would use his services again in the future.

I had replaced a shower faucet on Sunday night and turned the water off at the meter (there was no shutoff for just the shower) and went to turn it back on after the fix and had no water. I knew that the valve was broken and it turned out both valves on either side of the meter needed to be replaced. I actually called another plumber first, but they were not able to send someone out the same day in order to fix our problem and get the water back on. They recommended a few other plumbers to call, including Olde Towne. I called Olde Towne Monday morning at about 9:30am and told them the situation since I knew what needed to be done. They said one of their plumbers had two calls and he could be to my house late morning, although she mentioned that it might be later than that. I wish they had been in contact a little more, since I left work to be home for a late morning arrival. 1pm came around and I called and found out the plumber was on his way and he showed up at 2pm. The timing was the only issue I had with Olde Towne, and I understand that earlier calls can take longer than expected, I just wish they had been in contact with me to let me know the situation. Chris was the plumber who arrived and was able to fix everything in 1.75 hours, and he did a good job. He was careful not to make a mess and worked quickly. I wish it didn't cost $300, but I was not overcharged and they gave me the breakdown of their charges (service call, hourly labor rates) when I called in the morning so I was not surprised when he gave me the invoice. Overall, I had a good experience with Olde Towne and would recommend because they performed quality work in a timely manner.
Description of Work: Chris from Olde Towne replaced old gate valves that were broken on either side of the water meter with new ball valves.

First we had a leaky faucet in the bathroom, then the kitchen sink started leaking. We were very pleased with their work.
Description of Work: Kitchen sink was leaking, also faucet in bathroom. Good job-- have used them for years successfully. This time was the first time that we had to ask them back a couple weeks later because leak happened again. They returned as soon as we re-contacted them, came immediately and corrected with no charge. Over the years the have always done a fantastic job for us-- very trustworthy and capable.

The master plumber who was sent out was very professional and worked very hard. He cleaned up after himself and did not track into the house. I did not bring all of the needed materials (the unit I bought did not include a battery in the box), the plumber was patient and waited for me to go and retrieve it. I was especially happy with the rapid scheduling that was provided (for some reason I was very insistent about this). Unbelievably, I lost power on Saturday and there was a flood in the yard. Having this done saved me a lot of money and work.
Description of Work: Installed a battery backup pump for the sump-pump.

Olde Towne was recomended to me by my regular plumber who was out of town at the time. The saying (it takes one to know on, fits here).
Description of Work: Had several pinhole sized leaks in a 3/4 in. copper pipe that was accesible through hung ceiling in the basement. A three foot section was cut out and replaced with new pipe.

This is the latest of many jobs that Dan Kofahl, owner of Olde Towne Plumbing, has done for us over the past more than 20 years. After nursing our old Speakman tub/shower fixtures along for many years, the time had come to replace the set with modern fixtures. Because the rough-in for the new was vastly different that the old Speakman, it would be necessary to re-work the ceramic tile extensively at the head wall of the tub. Dan made four trips to the house in all, to (1) make ready the plumbing for demo of the ceramic tile and of the other side of the wall; (2) demo the old piping and fixtures; (3) rough-in of the new shower valve, shower head, and drain; and (4) install of the trim. All of this was closely coordinated with the contractor doing the ceramic tile and plaster / lath work to accomplish the work during a 4-working-day period when we were away from the house on a short trip. We returned to find a top-quality job and all work complete by both Dan and our other contractor. Had it not been for the many years of quality, dependable plumbing work by Dan I would not have had the confidence to schedule this work to occur when I was 1500 miles away on a trip. I can recommend Dan and Olde Towne Plumbing without hesitation for plumbing work in an older home.
Description of Work: Olde Towne Plumbing (Dan Kofahl) replaced the 1930s-vintage Speakman tub/shower fixtures and drain with a new Delta tub/shower set and a Gerber drain.

It was fairly expensive, but the charges were explained to me ahead of time. The only issue was that they said they'd be there about an hour before he actually showed up, and didn't call to tell me he was running late. I might have been able to avoid being stuck at home if I'd given them my cell #, because they did call me when he was on his way (but then I'd only have had 5 minutes to get home.)
Description of Work: I had a leaky tub faucet, a leaky sink faucet and a slow sink faucet. He fixed all three problems and spent what seemed to me a reasonable time doing it.

The disposal stopped working a few weeks back and water was not draining properly, instead it would go through the dishwasher and on to the floor. The plumber found a screw lodged perfectly in the disposal that stopped it from working and caused food to get caught in the line. First time with this company, but will certainly use them again. He was prompt, explained the problem, and consulted me before taking further steps.

I called to make the appt on Friday and was told someone would be there at approx 11am Monday. I asked that they give me a call 30 minutes in advance so I could get home to meet them. Monday morning at 9am I got a call that they were at my house. The woman was very apologetic that they hadn't called me as I requested. The service person was very friendly and helpful. The fact that they were there BEFORE the scheduled time was a refreshing change from most service appointments, these days.
Description of Work: Cast iron drain from toilet to sewer main line appeared to have a small leak. All you could ever see was a drip just at the point that the two pipes came together. The service person said he had not seen that, before, but got right on the phone with Dan who had. He instructed the service person to "re-pack" the lead sealer and said that if it were a true LEAK we would be having a big issue with water not just seeing a lingering drip.
