Dave Blair Plumbing

Raymond and Marvin are awesome, they showed up on time, clean and professional. Clear and easy to understand, pointed out and showed me the leak location and dark spots where the smoke was accumulating. They were also patient and respectful, and got the new water heater up and running in 2 hours on spot. Much appreciation and glad I get to take a hot shower tonight

I have had a good experience with the Dave Blair Plumbing before, so called them for a quote to install a water line to our new fridge that has an ice cube maker. The guy that showed up was nice, but the quote was for $1300, almost twice what the fridge cost. We found another company to install at 1/3 that price. It's nice that Blair is a local company, but advise shopping around unless price is not an issue.

George is a hard worker. However, communication with the schedulers, and homeowner is non existent. There were a few days no one showed even though we were told someone would be there. Then other days someone just showed up without telling us. Some of the quotes given were very high, then other quotes were in the ball park. Beware.

On Wednesday, 8/29/2018, I called in order to have a bathroom sink stopper replaced and scheduled a visit for 8/30/2018. Their plumber (Miguel?) showed up at the right time but did not have parts and told me he would return next day.
Next day, 8/31/2018, another man showed up instead of Miguel and he also did not have parts. Apologizing he scheduled for the next day, 9/1/2018, at 8 AM. He never showed up and did not bother to call me.
Called their office on 9/4/2018, complained, and was scheduled for a visit between 3-4 PM on that day. Again no one showed up.
I understand that Mr. Blair sold the business two months ago. This is not - by far - the same outfit I knew before. Stay away from it!

Dave Blair sold his company a few months ago to another plumbing company; nothing is the same except for the name. New personnel and higher prices.

Shower head broke and needed replacement. Saw Dave Blair ad in neighborhood association paper....gave them a try. Plumber came to quote the job and was very high considering it's ""ten minutes or less""
of installation labor. Commented on quote and gave him a $ with Yes or No. Took picture of shower head style and agreed to Yes$.
Tech installed shower head next day.

Called Dave Blair Plumbing. Got appointment same day. Tech showed up on time. Needed parts to fix it. Tech George needed to come back the next day with proper parts (rather than installing with wrong parts I might add!). George showed up on time the next day as well. When there was a minor hiccup, his boss Miguel joined him to solve the problem. No issues since they fixed the problem and it has been a week. Very happy with everything, start to finish: great phone manner, timely appointment, techs on time, seemingly fixed it properly and a reasonable price. Would use them again.

We called Dave Blair Plumbing in a pinch when our tub started to leak. They came out and said the bathtub stems needed replacing. They spent maybe 20 minutes max doing the repairs and charged us almost $400 (Parts cost maybe a 1/10th of that amount, so labor was the remainder?!). They also said our water pressure was too strong in the house and suggested we install a pressure regulator for $800 which we declined. About a week later, the same tub started leaking again.

We called Dave Blair to come back out and set an appointment for a Saturday morning. They never showed up and when we called them, they said they were stuck on another job. Thanks for making us wait around for 3 hours.

We made another appointment for the following Monday. Two guys came out and now changed their opinion that it wasn't the stems after all and they'd have to break the wall to see what was happening. After putting holes in our wall, they determined it was the overflow and p-trap line that was leaking and it all had to be replaced How much to fix we asked? Oh, that will be $2,000. Wait, what?? But if we acted now, it would only cost us $1800. We said no thanks to the high pressure sale and they left.

We called another local plumber who quoted us $450 for the same job and got it done. And to add insult to injury, according to the new plumber, it turns out that Dave Blair Plumbing didn't event install Pfister OEM stems but used some cheap knock-offs and they can't even tighten all the way. As well, it turns out we don't really need a water pressure regulator that was suggested by Dave Blair.

Long story short, avoid the overcharges, unnecessary upsells, missed appointments and poor quality work with Dave Blair Plumbing.

Just wanted to take a moment and let everyone in the area know that Dave Blair is an excellent Plumbing Company. Mago and Ricardo are great! Super friendly and professional.

They've came to my home the day before Thanksgiving no questions asked. The Company was friendly, professional and they did an excellent job installing a new faucet in my bathroom. They've also been out before to my home as well. I want to thank you again for being such a reputable Company within the Culver City Community.

Dave Blair Plumbing was started by Dave Blair the father more than 35 years ago. We have used him for all types of plumbing work for 22 years. He is the best, His son, Kenny has now taken over many tasks and is terrific also. For example we had a malfunctioning water heater a week ago. Kenny came. Other plumbers might have tried to sell us a whole new heater but kenny fixed ours quickly and for under $100. This is a great firm.
