David J Prendergast Drain Surgeon

All 3 times jobs were completed nicely and in a short amount of time.

David was recommended to me by an electrician who cautioned me that David wasn't cheap, but was VERY good. The electrician wasn't cheap either. On my first meeting with David, he arrived on time, determined what the issue was and how to fix the leaking shower valve from the second floor bathroom into a closet in the first floor creating some mold issues. He figured out the issue, explained the process, that I would need a tile guy to fix some of the tiles in the shower and recommended someone he worked with. He coordinated the job with the tile guy and the shower valve was fixed, the mold disappeared in the closet. That was back in 2006. I have used David ever since for rental properties and my personal residence. He returns phone calls promptly and usually can come out same day or next day assessing what urgency level is.
I would rather pay a higher rate and deal with one person who has done the work, remembers what he did at the property and gives you options / suggestions rather than wonder who is going to show up from a company with many plumbers and then you get asked questions like what did the other guy do.
David's work is very clean and tidy, especially when you have and old house and limited space in a sink base cabinet. My cabinet guys were impressed how tidy all the plumbing connections were, to date David and I have worked on 3 kitchen remodels. He was very accommodating with the kitchen install schedule and didn't hold up the remodel due to his schedule.
Rather than trying to sell me on a new bathroom sink and toilet, David worked with me to save my old and quot;venetian pinkand quot; Crane sink and toilet. I told him I wasn't ready to part with the pink and he just recently (August 2012) replaced the stems in the pink bathroom sink.
He has given me options on a water heater which stopped working day before Christmas -- first to try and replace the element rather than buying a new water heater. We've discussed replacing a cast iron radiator in a kitchen with a toe kick unit and he said he thought the tenants would be happier with the heat from the old radiator rather than the toe kick. I really appreciate someone being honest and not being all about getting more work for themselves. I consulted with another plumber and he strongly suggested I replace the radiator and when asked what do I really gain, he told me space in the kitchen. Who needs tenants calling you up in the dead of winter complaining about a cold kitchen. David gets it -- if it isn't broken, you don't need to fix it. Too many contractors out there out there trying to hustle customers.
I consider myself a picky customer, not easy to please so when I come across someone that knows their skill, is pleasant to work with, returns phone calls, is on time, I continue to work with them and refer them to others.

He arrived on time, was pleasant, and worked efficiently. His price was totally reasonable.

David came by and removed the toilet and the stuck object. He was courteous and didn't create a mess. Would definitely recommend him.

He was good. We discussed the pros and cons of taking out the radiator and we still have it in storage in case we ever sell the house and the next people want the radiator back. It is capped under the floor. He wanted to make sure we knew that he had to cut a hole in the floor and that was fine because we were replacing it. He was very helpful and flexible. He didn't think we were cuckoo. I talked to him about things he could do in our bathroom when we have that remodeled.

I have used this company for other services. They are reliable and showed up according to schedule. They were able to fix the problem on the first try and I feel I got what I paid for. I will definitely call them back for any future clogged drains.

WE HAVE USED THIS COMPANY FOR A WHILE NOW AND HE HAS ALWAYS DONE A GREAT JOB FOR US. HE IS A VERY NICE AND COURTEOUS PERSON WHO IS A FRIEND. IT IS ALSO NICE HOW WELL HE CLEANS UP HIS MESS.
