Larry Downs Jr Plumbing LLC

Excellent. Workers showed up at the scheduled time, worked continuously until they were finished, cleaned up when they were done. Called back to check on the work.

He's excellent. They do great work.

The workers showed up on time and worked hard while they were there. We are very pleased with the quality of the work and our new gas stove. While they were there, they installed a new faucet set and supply lines on a bathroom sink for no charge.

We are extremely pleased with our new shower, hot water heater, and laundry room. I can go on and on about how pleased I am with JDJPC. I was most impressed with the quality of the work.

Nice polite and fixed it on short notice.

Not good. Had a cross threaded screw and they wound up having to cut it out from the back. Made a mess, and there were things were wrong. Too much to write about.

I live in the historical section of town so the main plumbing line from the street to the house consisted of clay pipes. The pipes had cracked over time due to roots and water began backing up into the tub and toilet began 'bubbling' when the washer spun out. I was not an Angie's List member at the time so did a quick search under the BBB site and read a few reviews posted online. I decided to call Larry Down's Jr. Plumbing to evaluate the situation. They came quickly and used a camera scope to show me the multiple areas in my main plumbing line that had been breached and were now full of roots. I was advised to replace the main line with PVC which would permanently resolve the problem. They started the job immediately and gave me credit for the estimate fee toward the final bill. The plumbing works fine now but I did find a few things irritating about their work. They had to bring in a bobcat to dig up the old pipe. They took a portion of my picket fence down but did not put it back up satisfactorily. It now sags in the middle which I'll have to have someone else come in and repair. They also broke my sprinkler system pipe which may have been unavoidable. They repaired it but added $300 to my bill. They will do a "rough" fill of the area once the repairs are complete and is was VERY rough. There were roots sticking up everywhere and the ground was not smoothed out level. I had to spend about 2 hours raking the soil and cutting the roots that were sticking up out of the ground. This is when I discovered my biggest complaint. They had busted up the clay pipe (instead of removing it in large sections) and there was clay piping packed into the top of the soil everywhere! I'm still picking it up and out of the soil. My biggest fear is that some of it will get caught in the mower and come flying out at me. It just so happened we had this same type of repair at my office area the next week. The workers removed all of the pipe in large, intact pieces and there was no evidence of broken chips remaining. The plumbing works great....but I was quite displeased with the mess they left.
