Dave Schmidt answered my call quickly, rearranged his work to get to us first on a Monday morning, came on time, and quickly fixed the problem, at a reasonable price (very reasonable under the circumstances). What I really like about Dave is that he is a no B.S. guy who works quickly, is happy to answer all my dumb questions, and always adds value by giving me a better understanding of what went wrong, what the fix needs to be, and why. More important, he tells you when work does NOT need to be done, when a new "thing" or preventative work is just not necessary. I really appreciate that honesty and his wonderful work ethic. He's a cheerful guy who does great work and I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing any kind of plumbing work done! Mike

GREAT EXPERIENCE!! Dave figured out the cause just by asking questions on the phone and it was a very simple fix. He did not charge us for his time either.

Dave was very thorough and surprisingly affordable. Also, most places I called said it was a two week wait. Yeah, 2 weeks with no shower? Dave came the very next morning!

We had a clawfoot tub become three legged and more like a fountain than a shower. It was a disaster . Dave was great

He was very responsive when I called. We discussed various options for the service. On the appointed morning he called to ensure I was ready and said he would be by in 15 - 20 minutes, which he was. He did the work efficiently and professionally. He was very personable, friendly, and professional. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

I really appreciated his timeliness. I called him in the morning explaining that the laundry line had overflowed and the bathtub was full of gray water. Although he already had work for the day, he was able to squeeze an appointment in for me. He thought at first that he may be able to fix it from the outside sewer connection without me being there. He was nice to offer to try that first before I would need to come home from work. As it happens there was not an outside connection to use. Dave was prompt in figuring out the issues in this 1950s home and cleared it up. In addition, he talked with me about coming up with a long term plan and discussed the root cause of the issue. He was professional and very helpful. I plan to continue to work him in the spring to solve the bigger issue with the drainage in the house.
Description of Work
Cleared a major clog in the house sewer line. Dave had to go up on to the roof and snake through the laundry room vent line to reach the clog.

Very good. He communicates well, explains the job and has a good price. I can't tell you how nice it was to have him here and for him to get this difficult job finished in good time. This is my new go-to guy for plumbing.
Description of Work
Fixed a leak under my very old house. This was a bad leak that required a disaster recovery company to clean up under there. It was nasty with a very small crawl space. Overall a difficult job.

EXCELLENT AND PROMPT SERVICE! I called another service first and didn't get a call back immediately as sludge had come up in our shower. I needed service on a Sunday for this so I then called Renew based on the A grades indicated on Angie's List and the phone was answered; a quote was given to me for the call and hourly rate; and Dave came out within the hour. He only charged us for the call which saved us about $140.00. He also showed my husband where the water main valve was in the event the clog happened in the future. Would TOTALLY recommend him and will utilize his services in the future.

Dave and his son made time in their already busy schedule to come and dig out the housing and replace the valve and water shut off apparatus. Dave communicated well what needed to be done to fix the problem and was very thorough in doing the repair. Dave was cheerful and pleasant to be around even though it was cold and there was a lot of digging involved (no fun..) He honored the 10% discount for Angie's List members on service calls over $150.
Description of Work
Replaced a cracked valve just outside the house where the water enters the house from the street (which had been the source of a leak under the house. )

It was the second time they were out in 3 months. They are very responsive and came out to my home in about 2 hours after calling. They understood the leak needed immediate attention. The technicians are very professional and I had no complaints on their work. Their pricing is more than fair and I would highly recommend them to others.

Responded quickly; understood my urgency and concern with the situation. Explained what he was doing and why he was doing it. Tolerated my hovering around him as he worked. Found the source of the problem quickly and resolved the issue. And all done on a Saturday morning, arriving at my home in less than 2 hours after contacting him. Will definitely use Renew Plumbing again.

Dave did a great job of problem-solving, systematically eliminating possible problems - always with a consideration toward the cost of particular actions. He was professional and worked with me to gather information and track down the ultimate issue. I would certainly use his services in the future and recommend him to others who need plumbing services.

water heater was functioning well but temperature at the tap was often only warm at best. Other parts and pumps needed replacement.

We were coming from out of the area and were delayed for our appointment due to weather/road conditions. He was there on time and checked back later in the day on his own. We were very impressed with his follow up. He quickly diagnosed the lack of water problem and was able to promptly fix it. He also gave us several ideas on insulation. He was very professional, personable, and we would not hesitate to use him again in the future. OUTSTANDING SERVICE!

This was during Bend's freezing cold spell. We called a larger company and was told they couldn't come until the following week. We called Renew Plumbing and Dave said he was just headed out of town, but would stop on his way. He arrived in less than 20 minutes, spent possibly 45 minutes and rebuilt the guest room toilet. He said it appeared it was installed improperly and make shift parts were used. He was very professional, more than prompt, and very personable. We would definitely use him again. Highly recommend him!

Dave replaced a shallow water well pump as well as some broken (frozen) pvc plumbing going to the house. He was always keeping me in the loop as well as my tenant who was without water. This happened because the temperature reached -27 degrees. I couldn't find a water pump anywhere in and around Bend, but Dave had a "connection" who was able to provide me with the pump which Dave discounted for me. He worked in subzero weather while fitting me in with all of his other calls during this freeze. I live 3 hours from this rental home and it was reassuring to know that Dave was on it until it was completed. Thanks Dave. | |Mike |

Hi [member name removed], Wow was that cold or what! I'm really glad that we could take care of that pump house. Your tenants were also super nice and totally understanding of the situation. Thank you for the review, it means a lot to a small company that their customers are happy with their work. Being an out of town owner has to be difficult. I'm just happy Renew can be part of your team! Happy New Year- Dave SchmidtBlake N.

He installed a toilet and put an expansion tank on my heater. Then I got a bill for $1000. When asked to itemize the bill, he refused saying that he did jobs "by the bid as this was industry standard". I asked him for an itemized list and receipts for the parts which he refused saying that this was private between him and his supplier. He did a nice job but way over-charged for the services and there was no transparency in his billing. If you use him, get a firm, signed bid or you will over-pay for the service. I will not use him again.

[member name removed], I'm sorry you feel that way. But what you said was a bit misleading, so I would like to respond. I did supply and install a Kohler one-piece toilet with seat for $619.00 and remove and dispose of the old unit. Also, after I removed the old toilet I inspected and tested your drain lines as you said you had another plumber tell you that the drains were the problem and that they would need to be repaired. I found that the drains were in good order. I did install a large expansion tank and the fittings for the tank for $249.00. You may have received a lesser quote from another plumber but after seeing that you have 100 gallons of hot water capacity, a small expansion tank would not work. What you didn't say was that I also removed an old frozen-up instant-hot unit and went and got a soap dispenser that matched your faucet and installed it. I also inspected your laundry faucet and figured out what was wrong with it. I take a lot of pride in my service as you can tell from my other reviews on Angie's list. My prices are very fair and I gave you a breakdown of my retail prices. You sent me an email saying you were very happy with toilet and the way it worked. If you have any warranty issues for any of the work I did for you, you can still call me and I will take care of it.Hetzel W F.
