951 Delray Lakes Dr, Delray Beach Florida 33444
Dr Plumber performed a complete replumb of my 2-story house. This is probably a worst case scenario. No attic access! Sam, the doctor, did a great job! We passed inspection without issue! My house is ~40 years old, which means it had polybutylene pipes. My 3rd leak was under the slab. That alone was going to cost several thousand dollars to fix. I knew I had to bite the bullet and do the replumb. After evaluating searches, referrals, and 4 estimates, I selected Dr. Plumber. He was comparable with the low bid I received. Things I liked about the job: He uses CPVC pipe (or copper if you want to spend the money) He kept all the plumbing inside the house. The other low bidder wanted to run piping outside, which I wasn't a fan of... He also didn't quote the complete job, just the plumbing Dr. Plumber on the other hand, quoted the complete job. He was meticulously clean. He never made a mess, much less left one. He replaced all the hose bibs and now in addition to having no dripping faucets outside, I have a hose shutoff in the laundry room that I didn't have before. There were some small problems outside the scope of the replumb that he took care of. A broken shower valve and a leaky one. I supplied the parts and he fixed them. I thought that was nice of him. He handled the entire job. Sam did the plumbing, and he sub-contracted out the drywall repair. His drywall guys don't handle tile. It was clearly stated that they don't repair popcorn ceilings either, though I am not sure about that. I decided to bite that bullet too so I am having it removed as well. As a result, they did not fix the ceiling where popcorn was impacted. I had tile that needed to be removed in a shower and a bath. I thought his tile guys was a little pricey, so I did the tile work myself. In retrospect, the tile guy's quote was reasonable. His tile guy, like most of the others I had estimated, were not confident they could save the old tile. Old 4in tile is hard to replace these days. I was able to remove and repair it without breaking any. Oh well... During his walkthrough, Sam thoroughly explained what was going to happen. He told me where he needed access and what I needed to move to provide that access. I knew it was not going to be pretty. Apparently I am a hoarder so I had a bunch of stuff I had to move. His timetable was concise and he was able to complete the job ahead of schedule. Post inspection, the drywall guys were in and out in a day and half. Very impressed! Things I didn't like: I wish Sam's tile guy was a little more confident he could have saved the existing tile. I never did this before, and I was able to save it. Once I repaint, you wont know he was even here, so I wont be posting any photos, though I probably could... All in all, 5 stars for Dr. Plumber!
