I scheduled two jobs with D Murphy plumbing. They failed to show for either job. I was later told by another property management company that owns several dozen units that they had a similar experience with D Murphy Plumbing either not showing or cancelling appointments at the last minute. My first scheduled job was urgent as it involved a very serious leak in a rental unit tub. I communicated that I needed 24 hours notice to shut off the water in that unit as the main valve would impact several other tenants. The other job was for a bathroom repair in my own home. We scheduled the jobs starting

We called several plumbers to replace our outside hose connections, and got no call backs. A large company got someone out to us in a couple of days but quoted us $1900. When I said absolutely not, suddenly that cost dropped to $900 if we did the work that day. Thank goodness their tactics left such a bad taste in my mouth, because that's how we found this company. They had someone out to us the next week who was friendly and professional. He did the work quickly and put everything back. The cost was half of the big company's fee! We will definitely do business here again!

We had a plumbing emergency this afternoon (a Saturday).
Called Dave Murphy Plumbing and Zach came out and quickly addressed it. He was great. He is pleasant; explained the options; and fixed the issue. He was an excellent representative for your company. We just wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with his service. Great service is what we always get from Dave Murphy Plumbing.

I discovered at 2:00 this afternoon that our water heater had died and spewed water all over our basement. I called 2 plumbing companies, both said they could be out in 3 or 4 days. Then I remembered David Murphy, who installed a new heater the same day my old one died several years ago. So I called. The guys were out to my house within 15 minutes of my call, and here it is less than 2 hours after that and I have a new water heater and hot water again! The guys were pleasant, professional, and moved back everything they had moved out of the way. I could not be happier, and from now on they are

Easiest way to lose $125. I called for an estimate and was told my job was too small for a quote, so I was given an over the phone quote. I explained everything as best as I could and was told someone would come the next day at 7:30am (not enough to look at other quotes). The charge was going to be $125 an hour and it would be approximately 2-4 hours. The next day, I waited until 8:30 before someone came, right before I had to start working. He came in, assessed the situation, and told me something I already knew. He wouldnt babble to do it until a walk was built. I appreciate the feedback
