Overall, we're pleased with the service. When we made the first contact, the lady seemed responsive, but eventually we found out that our account was not entered into their system correctly. So, the first time someone came to do the work he was NOT the person who took the order. The person who came was very hostile and unfriendly and did not know what work needed to be done. That is the only negative experience we had with this company, and the reason we gave them a low grade for professionalism. However, the next two guys (one of them was named Dennis) who came were great. Very friendly and helpful, they arrive 5 minutes before the scheduled appointment. They explained what they were doing, they moved quickly, and were very approachable with my questions. Both pieces of work they did for us (fixing the valve assembly and cutting out the rotted pipe) were done exactly as they estimated they would be for time and what the outcome would be. They neatly cleaned up the area after their work. and the invoice came fairly quick after the work. I recommend Durham Plumbing Repair.
Description of Work: We had a clogged shower drain. Initially they came, cut a hole in the wall and replaced the faucet assembly for the shower (which over time fell out of alignment with the drain because of the house settling). Then, when that didn't fix the issue, they came back and cut a hole in the ceiling beneath the shower, cut out a section of rotted, galvanized piping and replaced it with PVC pipe.

This is the second time we have used Durham Plumbing Repair, on both occasions to repair broken faucets and on one occasion to install a new faucet and relocate another. Each time their service was extremely prompt and both plumbers were exceptionally courteous and helpful. This is the best appliance repair company we have dealt with in a long time. We could not recommend them more highly.
Description of Work: Inspected and advised on broken faucet, inserted new cartridge once this arrived on order, and reinstalled the faucet. Two housecalls.

Description of Work: We had a leak from our old dishwasher that required major repairs in our kitchen which included removing the very old dishwasher, rebuilding part of the kitchen cabinet, and replacing the entire kitchen floor. We bought a new dishwasher and found that the people who had done the major work in the kitchen had removed the old connections for the dishwasher and we needed to hire a plumber to put in new connections. After checking Angie's List for reviews on plumbers, we called Durham Plumbing Repair and made an appointment with them. They arrived on time, made the necessary connections, and did a good job.

ALL WENT WELL WITH THE REPAIR AND WE ARE VERY PLEASED. WE WILL NOT HESTIATE TO USE DURHAM PLUMBING IN THE FUTURE AND TO RECOMMEND THEM TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY. IF ALL THE REPAIRMEN ARE AS WELL TRAINED AS JOSH YOU HAVE A WINNING TEAM.
Description of Work: JOSH CAME OUT A LITTLE BEFORE THE SCHEDULED TIME AND WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. HE REPLACED PIPING FOR CUT OFF ON BOTH HOT AND COLD WATER IN SINK, THAT HAD RUSTED OUT OVER THE YEARS. HE ALSO UNCLOGGED THE SINK SO THAT IT WOULD DRAIN COMPLETELY. HE WENT RIGHT TO WORK . HE DID THE REPAIR THAT WAS NEEDED WITH OUT ANY PROBLEM AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOUSE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WERE NOT LEAKS. HE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING HE HAD DONE AND HE LEFT NO MESS BEHIND.

We needed a garbage disposal replaced, and our home warranty co. sent Durham Plumbing Repair. Although the technician was 20 minutes late (they made an appointment, which I liked better than the "window" that some companies give), the service was excellent. He took off his shoes at the door and was very careful not to make a mess. Replaced the disposal quickly and easily, no muss no fuss, and even gave me some advice about a leaky toilet.

On the eve of 1/14/11, around 12 midnight, a friend and I noticed that both of my bathroom toilets had backed up and water only recessed as result of intense plunging. In addition, whenever we ran water in the tubs, both toilets would start gurgling and water in tubs had difficulty draining. Needless to say I was FRANTIC --- no bathroom use during the night. I awoke around 6:30 am and decided to find a plumber on Angie's list (first time user) which seemed opened for business at this hour. Durham Plumbing opens at 7:00 am. I called and it was a blessing that they had a morning cancellation therefore a technician was at the door by 8:30 am and job completed successfully at 9:30 am. I was so thrilled and relieved they gave the Tech a big hug! I will definitely use their service again.
Description of Work: Had to go underneath the house (in crawl space) and clear out pipes which was clogged with huge amount of sewage deposit buildup which was located behind safety valve.

Response from DURHAM PLUMBING REPAIR
Thank you for the wonderful review Member. Plumbing issues, such as yours, can seem overwhelming! Technically we do not open our office until 8am, but I am normally in early to get ready for the day. Plus, when you call our service you will always reach an employee and not an answering service. Thanks again! ~Dorothy

Had to deal with unexpected mineral build-up in the line, but stuck with it until the job was done. Very polite, neat (took off their shoes at the front door!) and professional. Price seemed a little high at first, but given what they actually did, it was quite reasonable.
Description of Work: Two men replaced cut-offs below kitchen sink and repaired faucet. Checked out a bathroom faucet gratis.

Our shower would not work and my husband had tried to change out a valve behind the knob. The shower would still not function, no water would come out of the shower head. The plumber was young and was trying to avoid interrupting my husband while he was on a business call. He seemed to want to get the job done quickly and correctly. Fortunately, all that was wrong was a stopped up shower head which he replaced within fifteen minutes of arrival. He was not informed by his company about billing so we received the bill in the mail a week later.
Description of Work: replaced a shower head.

The plumber arrived on time, and worked steadily. He spent about 90 minutes at my house and he charged me $42.50 for the new valve and $127.50 for 2 hours labor. The new shut-off valve is a much better design than the old one, and I am completely satisfied.
Description of Work: The main shut-off valve to my house (in my crawl space) became difficult for me to fully turn off when I wanted to replace a shut-off valve in a bathroom sink. Durham Plumbing Repair promptly sent out a plumber, who first tried to repair the existing main shut-off valve in the crawl space. He was not able to repair it, so he replaced it with a new shut-off valve.

The plumber was punctual and did the work efficiently. He suggested that I have him install shut-off valves in the supply pipes to the basement sink, and I agreed. He did that very quickly. In addition to his flat labor fee of $85, I paid $11.05 for the pipe and the two shut-offs. I am completely satisfied with the work.
Description of Work: I wanted a new faucet that I had purchased installed in a basement sink. A handyman had tried to do it but had broken the nipple to the faucet, forcing me to be without water service to the whole house. As a result I called Durham Plumbing Repair late one afternoon, and the plumber came the next morning. He replaced the broken pipe, installed the faucet, and installed shut-off valves at the sink.

The plumber did all of the work promptly. His suggestions concerning clearing the drain and installing a new basket strainer were excellent. The quality of the work was also excellent.
Description of Work: I had hired a handyman to install a waste disposer in my kitchen sink, but he had not done it correctly, so I hired Durham Plumbing Repair to correct the installation. The plumber did install the disposer with very little trouble, correcting the mistakes that the handyman had made. In addition, he found that the the drain was slow, so the ran a snake down from the roof and cleared out the drain. In addition, he suggested that he replace the badly worn basket strainer in one side of the kitchen sink, and I agreed to have him do that.

We had a real mess we had and they were really good about getting to us as soon as they could. They were able to get the blockage out and everything works again. I was pleased with their work and recommend them to others.
Description of Work: They fixed the blockage in the drain piping in the front yard. They had to dig down and replace part of the pipe.

I have all great things to say about this company. They came in did the work and was finished. They were very professional, very responsive and they came when they said they would. I can't remember the price of the whole installation at this point. I also bought the items from them.
Description of Work: I called Durham to come out and install two new higher toilets home. They also installed a new sink. It took them about a day.
