After giving up on failed liquids and my own attempt at clearing the kitchen sink we reviewing several recommended plumbers from our local neighborhood web site, we checked them out against Angie's List. David was the only one with a lot of 'As' so we gave him a call to schedule an appointment. To our surprise, he asked if it was O.K. to come out right away. It was and he did. He was not only punctual, but very professional. My wife said that he explained was he was doing throughout the service visit and provided some education on how to avoid the problem in the future. He also cleaned up nicely.

He came out to my home until 9 P.M. and did not charge for overtime or an emergency charge! David went above and beyond to help us out. He was incredibly responsive , punctual and professional. I will definitely use him in the future and recommend him to anyone!
Description of Work: We had water spraying all over the kitchen and we were not able to turn off the water. We had to get the water company to come out to turn off the water at the street. A previous plumber was supposed to replace the turn off valve and had not done so. David replaced the turn off valve so that we can now turn the water off from inside the house. He also replaced the broken pipe that was spraying all over the house. He gave us a lot of advice on things that need to be done in the future because the previous plumber we had made a lot of mistakes.

It went very well. Mr Foster had been to my house earlier to fix my disposer and a leaking shower. At that time I had shown him the plumbing arrangement for the clothes washer in the laundry room. He took the time to look at the situation and made suggestions. I called him back to correct the problem when he and I had more time to take care of this non-emergency situation. He is a very courteous and nice guy!

Description of Work: I have a coupon from this company and was interested in using them for some work in my kitchen. However, I checked with the DLLR (licensing bureau) today and his license expired in June 2007. I also called him once in August and he gave me some pricing for a new water heater. Apparently he is still soliciting work without an active license.

Dave was a pleasure to work with. He never failed to return a phone call, and usually the same day. He had to reschedule with me a couple of times, but he gave me as much advance notice as he could, and that's to be expected from somebody who's that much in demand. While he was working, Dave carefully explained each task he was doing and he laid out the pros and cons of every option we encountered along the way. I got an education in addition to some top-quality plumbing work.
Description of Work: Dave provided and installed a new tub in a bathroom we're remodeling. He also upgraded a lot of old copper tubing while we had the walls opened up. He worked very hard, almost non-stop, for a full extra-long day.

The valve was reset to function properly. David pointed out that there is a mismatch of valve parts and this should be corrected for the best performance. Since this shower and bath serves only guests and gets limited use we are satisfied that it will hold up for our purposes.
Description of Work: Valve that switches from shower to bathtub was not functioning for flow to the bathtub. David Foster removed the valve and reset it.

Dave returns calls at the end of each workday. He responded promptly to my request for his labor. He needed to set up several dates to work on this project as plumbing needed to be scheduled before and after other renovations were completed and Dave was generously flexible with his schedule. All work was performed to code. He recommended other contractors when I needed additional assistance on other facets of the kitchen renovation.
Description of Work: As part of a full kitchen renovation: they disconnected and reconnected the oven, disconnected the cook top, replaced the gas nipple, disconnected and reconnected the sink, disposal, and dishwasher, and moved the water line for the refrigerator.

He was polite, returned our call within a few hours, and gave us his professional advice. We'd go back to him in a minute.
Description of Work: A new washing machine drained into the garage. Fortunately, we stopped it mid-stream. The drain was defective. We called Mr. Foster, based upon the reviews received by Angie's List, and he told us he was against those drains and we should simply continue, as we were doing, with draining through the adjacent wash basin. We could see what was happening. The others will back up with lint and you won't know until you're 2" in water. He did this by phone and charged nothing for his advice.

But David Foster is friendly, honest, fair, available, funny, helpful, etc, and our architect says he does excellent work. He gave us some ideas for how to run some of the pipes, ideas that reduced our costs by probably $2000. When he had to go back to WSSC to revise our permit (we hadn't told him we planned to put a shower in the Jacuzzi), he combined that trip with a trip to get another customer's permit, and thus didn't charge us extra. We will absolutely hire David Foster again.
Description of Work: Did entire plumbing work for new second floor added to house. Advised architect on where to run sewer pipes. Obtained permit and managed inspection. Installed all pipes and fixtures, toilet, bidet, Jacuzzi with two showers, three lavatories, faucets, washing machine box. Ran water and sewer lines to new space. Ran gas lines and installed new water heater in basement, to supply new space. (Price paid does not include fixtures.)
