Recommended Customer Reviews

DO NOT USE DAVID HICKS. I purchased a house that was completed remodeled, including the plumbing. David Hicks (Mike et al) was responsible for replumbing the entire house. Within a year of moving in, we began having leak issues with the middle bathroom and master bathroom caused by poor workmanship. Called Mike out and he crawfished and said it must be a leak from the sprinkler system. This has resulted in mold issues and damage to the hard wood floors. After turning in to my homeowners insurance ($ 5,000 deductable) they tunneled under the house to repair the leaking drain in the tub. In addition, it was determined that the sewer line connction had disconnected because it was not properly installed. Thought that was the end, but no--it was not the only issue. Now, with more mold and water issues, and another leak test in the master shower, the contractor is back and has ripped out the tile floor, marble and limestone for the shower. Guess what, the drain fixture was never glued or sealed to the drain pipe. Also, the water lines for the middle bathroom sinks both have small leaks resulting in new mold issues and are being replaced. It's a never ending plumbing nightmare all thanks to David Hicks Plumbing

I have been ripped off by David Hicks Plumbing twice. The first time they replaced bathroom fixtures that didn't need to be replaced. I wrote that off as an honest mistake. The second time I asked them to literally buy the right hose and hook up a washing machine when they were at my house doing other work. $549.77 later had put in new plumbing to "get things up to code."
The City had just had an authorized contractor replace the plumbing David Hicks Plumbing tore out. The City did this as part of a drainage line replacement to take drainage from the back of the property to the front. When I complained about the work and the bill, David Hicks told me to talk to his employee that did the work. The employee wouldn't return my messages. When I called David Hicks, he said I would have to meet the employee at my house and the employee would call me to set up a time. They employee didn't call.
I called again to say his employee never called, he callously stood by the fact the work was done to take the plumbing up to code. When I asked him to come out and show me why the City's work, some of which the employee left in place wasn't at code, he told me I would have to talk to the employee. When I asked to see the permits they got from the City, required if work was being done to take the plumbing up to code, he got really nervous and explained they typically don't get permits. This puts the liability for code violations on his customers, as the work they do is not inspected by the City. When I pointed this out, he told me he would get back to me, By get back to me, he apparently meant send me another invoice with finance charges.
I am reporting David Hicks to the City and the Better Business Bureau. DO NOT use David Hicks Plumbing.

The David Hicks plumber just left after installing a toilet tank in my almost new home; the old one developed a crack and needed to be replaced.
I called a multitude of plumbers...today is Friday, and I started calling Monday. Just could not get a call back, and the one plumber who did answer and call back wanted to charge me double what everyone else did (OneCall or Montrose Plumbing - do not use them!). Hicks answered immediately, set up the appointment, told me what they charged, and showed up exactly when they were supposed to. And my toilet is finally working .
The only reason they don't earn 5 stars is that I thought their base hourly rate was slightly high compared to the others I called. But otherwise, I'll be calling them back when I need them. It is a pleasure doing business with reputable folks who are in our Montrose neighborhood.
***Just a followup to this. We have found that the plumber Hicks sent out did not stabilize the tank at all, so it is wobbling all over the place. I admit I have only called them once to follow up (no return call), but needless to say, it is very disappointing after having had such good luck with them.
***Followup #2: after speaking with Mr. Hicks himself, the tank was stabilized that very day.

I work at a business that must provide a working bathroom for our customers! The toilet stopped working and David Hicks plumbing was here within 15 minutes of our call to them. The plumber, Mike, couldn't have been nicer or faster. He was in and out and now we are back in business! I was also delighted to hear that the charge would be less than what he originally quoted me. Thanks David Hicks, you guys rock!

You know when you ask the plumber why you have low hot water pressure.....he looks over your house and says it is the shower valves. OK. "Are you SURE it is not the water heater?"..... Yes, he is SURE. He GUARANTEES that replacing two shower valves (which required ripping out tile.....replacing hardware....retiling shower walls.....NOT inexpensive) will fix my problem. Guess what. Still low flow after ripping out shower valves. He relooks. OH, I guess he does need to replace the water heater TOO!! "How much is that?"....."I don't know. It depends on how long it takes me to do it."........"Oh, well, haven't you replaced water heaters before to KNOW how long it might take?".
At the response of "I don't know how long it will take me" at 100+ dollars an hour to replace water heater, I was running for the hills. Found another provider to replace the water heater.
I was really disappointed with this company.

I do not recommend David Hicks Plumbing. I am had a very poor experience with them. It began with my being red-tagged and needing a plumber to pull a permit and bring a project up to code. I called Hicks Plumbing a Thursday afternoon and was told I should hear from someone that afternoon. I called back on Friday when no called on Thursday and again explained my situation and was told someone should be by that afternoon. No one came or called. I left several messages but no one return my called. I called another plumbing company and got on their waiting list. David Hicks final called on Monday and since I hadn't heard from the other company I went them. The plumber who came out quoted a high price for the simply repairs and charged my $175 to pull a permit. Unprompted, he told me the permit price was so high because of the shutting down of the red-light cameras in the city but when I asked if I would receive a receipt for the permit he came clean and said the $175 charge was what David Hicks charges. I should have known then that I couldn't trust these guys and should have said "forget it" but I just wanted to get my project wrapped up. I was quoted a very high price for simple repairs and had to pay half of the project up front. We scheduled the repair for 10am because of my needing to cut off water to my complex (although the plumber wanted to start at 8am but explained that we could do that due to the condo rules). Here I am at 12:12 and the plumber from David Hicks still hasn't shown up...I have called him twice and he was on another job and now is picking up materials for my job. He knows that my window to have the repair completed is 10 to 1 due to the water shut off information that was shared with the other owners in the complex. The lack of professionalism to schedule his jobs properly, gouging, and general lack of communication are significant reasons that I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. I would cancel the job but feel trapped since I gave them a deposit for the permit...just hate being taken advantage of and feeling powerless. Worst experience with a service company EVER!!!

Told by dispatcher they'd be here between 8 and 10 AM, when I set appointment Wednesday afternoon. Called at 11, Thursday, and was told they're finishing another job. Called at 3 and told they'd be here SATURDAY. Call these guys if you have nothing better to do that wait THREE DAYS for them to come. Egad.

This review is sorely overdue. I called Hicks Plumbing a couple months ago as my toilet tank had broken, and Robert came out for a free estimate. He said he would look around to see what they had in stock for a new toilet tank, and gave me his cell number. When he called back a day or two later, he told me he had found one -- but somehow, in the process, it had turned into a whole new toilet that had to be replaced, not just the tank part (which ups the price -- and also adds a ton more time & labor cost). I asked him to see whether he could find a toilet tank, since that was what was needed. He said he would look again and call me back. Never did. Over the course of a week, I called and left messages on his cell (which he had picked up before), but he ignored me completely.
The needless upsell was extremely shady on his part (given how easy it is to access information on the Internet, I had already done a little research online to see how to address the problem - which is how I knew that for a two-part toilet, you can replace the parts separately). But the ignoring me was where he truly created a lot of ill will. I actually considered getting a whole new toilet, but knew, no matter what, that I would not be calling Robert to give him the work, given that he didn't even extend me the courtesy of returning a phone call. Poor business practice.
What I don't think Robert at Hicks Plumbing gets is that things in the house will be needing plumbing and repair work generally, and what may be a small job now can build goodwill and trust so that he gets the big job later, as well as referrals and reviews. In the end, it was good that things with Robert and Hicks Plumbing ended up the way they did, because I put way more effort into looking for a really good plumber, and found one who was absolutely amazing, honest and responsive (and this guy can count on my business and my referrals anytime).

Left a vmail on a Sunday asking for a call back. Never received call back. For this lack of service, they get a 1 star review. Left a message with a different plumber who called back right away. Gee, must be nice to not need my business.

My place is ooooold. It's a very old building. And things tend to break. A lot. So when my water heater went out, along with some pressure issues in the shower, the landlord called in these guys. Normally, they use some other (creepy) guy, but I'm so very thankful these guys were able to help me out.
They took a look at my water heater late in the day, so by the time they got permission to buy a new one, I had to wait til the next day. Not too big of a deal since I'd been showering at my sisters. So the next morning, around 10am, there they were. They replaced the water heater and made little noise doing so. I easily continued working on my own as they handled their business.
And when I showed them the water pressure I was having with the shower head, they took a look at it for me AND FIXED IT. The previous plumber that inspected it around February had a different solution: replace the piping. But the fellas at David Hicks simply cleaned it out and it's now working better than even before I moved in. I'm sure the landlord needs to replace the pipes since this is such an old place, but this was a fast and easy solution for now. AND he cleaned out my shower head too after I insisted I'd take care of it.
Use these guys.
