We had 2 plumbing companies that could not find the leak much less fix it. Blackburn and Davis showed up exactly as they told me they would and found the leak and had it fixed that day. Thank you thank you thank you!

Horrible company. Horrible communication. As you can tell by other reviews that are all poor. Can't recommend more to use someone else. Never seen someone try and take advantage of the elderly like these people.

Not the best option for HVAC repairs. They are a small shop and rely on hand written reports and very rough estimates. This puts you on the hook for high priced parts and overstated hours of labor. Make sure you price check the parts and record hours on-site. They charge for hours outside of on-site labor such as calls to MFG, stores or other contractors. You also get the sales pressure to get a new unit.

I gave Blackburn a shot because they were local and right down the street from my apartment. My heater was making a humming noise and then stopped working. The worker took off two panels, looked at it for about 2 minutes and said the motor was out. I told him I would have to check with my landlord about the price he wanted to charge ($600) to fix it before I moved forward, and in the meantime they could send me a bill for the 10 minutes it took him to look at it. A couple weeks later I got a bill for $114. This included a $20 truck fee, because he had to drive about 1 mile to my apartment. We tried to see if the bill could be taken off the $600 it would cost to fix our heater, but they told us there was nothing they could do. When we told them we would have to take our business elsewhere, they told us we would come back to them because they are the cheapest. I will never use them again and will recommend anyone else. I would rather pay someone else $700 than these people $600.

Blackburn and Davis is a rip off. I called them to check out my a/c because the fan motor stopped working and before the tech even made it to the basement he said ""I'll bet the heat exchanger is cracked"". He pulled the motor out and said yep it's cracked. He said it will cost $6700.00 to replace it. I told him to put it back together, I was going to get another opinion. Later that day, the other company came. The first thing he said is ""who the hell has been working on this furnace"" the fan is not on the track and there's no bolts it in, very dangerous. He put it back together and replaced the capacitor and it was fixed, no cracked heat exchanger. I called twice to speak with the owner or manager at Blackburn and Davis but he wouldn't speak with me. They charged me $112.00 and won't refund my money.

I gave them another chance a few years later on Rec from my contractor friend that I trust. The guys doing the work are pleasant to work with. Danny and Jeremy are super nice guys. The problem is finishing and Billing. Same as before.

I had a massive renovation. We signed a written contract that states that any additional work beyond original scope would be discussed, then put in writing prior to starting anything extra.

Well I got an additional bill for $500 from them for materials and time that I didn't even know were over and beyond our original agreement. I'd done the same process with a different plumber and they never billed me extra for similar things.

They also missed quite a few little things I had to call them back for like installing my water line to fridge, air gap not hooked up, and s few other things.

With the bill, I called to talk to the head guy and he pretty much demeans you until you start thinking you were wrong to call him in the first place. Then off the phone you realize what he did to you. They also flooded my moms basement. I have proof!! And they sent her a bill for their time to fix their mistake. Unbelievable.

Buyer beware. They burned me twice and my mom once. We're done.

Electricians, Cell phone Companies, Cable Companies, Contractors, Car Sales People etc... they all make you cringe when you know you have to call on one of them... I used to put Plumbers in the same group, but that was before Blackburn and Davis became our plumber. They have provided us with honest, professional, and reasonable prices. We have an old house. ""This old house"" has seen us remodel two bathrooms, fix leaks, and install a new 75 gallon water heater this month with them. Their prices are fair and reasonable. We tried other companies and individuals listed in the other reviews and found they were very proud of their work (outrageous quotes) or there is a reason they are an individual plumber or less expensive (quality of work). We are on a first name basis with many of the plumbers. Well I am concluding this review because I need to call about an outdoor spigot that has started to leak, you know who I am going to call.... B&D!

This used to be a good company, now they have gone too corporate. I think they hired people quickly to meet demands and now have employees who don't know what they are doing out in the field. I was charged for parts they didn't install and random truck travel fee despite being one block away.

Don't use them for plumbing.

I live one mile from Blackburn and Davis' office. The plumbers were at my house for 1:15 min. I was charged for 1:30 additional time for 'travel'. They also charged $20 just because they had to use their truck...really? They also tried to charge me twice for the same part.

I would NOT use Blackburn and Davis!!! They are extremely over priced!!! Wish I could give them a negative star.

I had the exact opposite experience. Drexler estimated a gas leak and was way over what Blackburn charged and was able to fix it immediately.
