I called Dean's plumbing directly because of their documented experience with Navien tankless water heaters. They had a master plumber on site within the hour. The issue with our Navien tankless water heater was a quick fix. Josh took the time to call Navien to log the error and the repair for future reference and to get additional advice based upon his findings.
Sarah who booked the service was polite and professional. Josh was knowledgeable about the Navien system, friendly and professional. I will definitely use Dean's again.
Amazing customer service. Would not hesitate to use again. Ryan was AWESOME! He noticed the sink we bought online had a crack in it and returned the next day after we bought a new one from Lowes. Then we didn't link the faucet we had purchased (it splashed too much and was too high) and he returned the next day to change it out to a different one (new one was KOHLER FORTE...highly recommmend!)
Sarah and Melissa were always pleasant and Sarah answered the phone at 9:30 pm (I had planned on leaving a message!).
They are a great company. Don't worry about negative reviews...it seems most of those reviewers have more issues with the home warranty company....not Dean's.
Hire them for your next job!!!
I asked for an energy star rated gas water heater installation with some repairs to the piping that goes out through the roof. The young man that came out was nice, and he appeared to do an OK job. However, he did not have Dallas county come out to inspect the job afterwards. Additionally, when I tried to find the manufacturer's certificate at tax time to claim the tax break for buying an energy star rated water heater, I found that it was only labeled "energy efficient". I called Dean's and the manager just sympathetically apologized, but gave me 10% off future services.
We started having issues more and more with smelling natural gas around the water heater. I called Dean's and the same guy that installed came out and took a look. He just couldn't figure out why we would be having issues. We also had Atmos come out and do a leak test. No leaks.
Eventually we called Dallas County and had them come out to do the inspection the plumbing company never requested. We had called Dean's multiple times and asked them to get the county out to inspect. They promised they would and never did it.
The inspector found a fire hazard from the pipe up to the roof (it was charring the roof) and we needed a vent in the water heater closet for better ventilation. Bottom line, they failed the inspection. The plumber wasn't even knowledgeable enough to know what he had done wrong to begin with. I don't even think he understood what a real energy star rated water heater was, which is why he messed that up too.
I'm sure Dean's does a fine job with small issues, but I wouldn't rely on this company AT ALL with anything that has to do with your safety and well being. After the job was completed correctly two years later, we haven't had a natural gas incident since.
The plumber did arrive on time and proceeded to look and analyze things for about 20 minutes upon where he came in and asked me if I had received my phone call from the home warranty company yet. I hadn't. As soon as he asked, I did. They proceeded to tell me that since the pipe was external, it is not covered. Ok, fine. They did say that because their agent did not communicate that to me up front, they would cover the service charge that brought the plumber to my house. I wouldn't owe anything.
Ok, home warranty is out. I then ask the plumber how much it would cost for him to do it w/out the warranty. He replies, $600. I am visibly taken aback and ask him why so high. He goes on to explain that he has to rip out all the old pipe and "re-copper" the whole thing and there is a lot more digging that has to take place. I tell him that I will not do it for that price. I ask for his hourly rate and he wouldn't provide one. It is per job. I tell him that I will go get some other plumbers to give me some estimates. I'm not living in the house, so this isn't a rush job. He asks me, "So what would you expect this to cost?" I answer that I don't know and that is why I am seeking the other estimates. He does the "Let me go talk to my boss.." routine and goes off to his van for 15 minutes while I go back to doing other work. He comes back and says he will do it for $400. I recently had a plumber out to redo a shower faucet and it cost that much for 4 hours of work and if he has to do what he says, it may take a while... so I agree.
He says he has to run off to Home Depot to get the parts. 30 minutes later he comes back and starts working. 15 minutes later, he is finished. I go out to inspect what he did, to see this "re-coppering" and digging... and didn't find it. He had gone and got a pair of those rubber segments with the auto-clamping mechanism on the ends. He had cut the two PVC pipes and just fashioned a new L joint and snapped it in.. There was not any soldering or glue or copper. I have no idea how long those will hold up. My main line goes through there.
He then proceeds to half-way fill in the hole and says he is finished. As we are filling out the paperwork and ringing up the final charges, he says that I still owe him for the original service fee of $80. I explain that the warranty company said they were going to take care of that and he states that is false and I still owe it. Ugh. So I pay it.
I do not like being lied to about the services you tell me you are going to do and cite a price for yet do something different.
I also do not like paying $480 for essentially 1 hour of work. 15-20 minutes of talking to his boss about the warranty situation plus 30 minutes at Home Depot plus 15 minutes of real work.
I did not attempt to use the shower stall until 4-days later, the date of this report. Either the plumber did not install a new washer as he indicated or he did and it made absolutely no difference with my hot water cut off problem, but if that were all I would not be writing this report to warn others about using this company.-----Having somewhat of a difficult time accepting the fact that a $450 total replacement of my shower stall hardware was legitimate to bring back my water pressure, I took it upon myself to remove the entire metal/rubber shower wand assembly I suggested to the plumber might be the problem - the potential of which he summarily dismissed. ---Guess what, when removed and the original shower head reinstalled, the water pressure ran me out of the shower stall soaking wet. It was as good as it had ever been. The shower wand assembly had just somehow become partially(mostly) blocked. There was no need of an expensive replacement of my entire shower stall hardware. ---One of two things. Either the plumber Dean's sent out was not even able to follow a simple customer suggestion of what the problem might be or, and I fear this is the case,he wasn't so dumb after all and was just setting me up for the kill. Either way, no one needs this kind of ineffeciency or dishonesty. Take your pick.
