Don Rose Plumbing

I don't write many reviews, but I just had to express our satisfaction with Don Rose over a period of the last 4 years. He completely re-plumbed our water and gas lines, which included working in the limited crawl space under the house. He expertly engineered a new location for a tankless water heater, prepared a new laundry service, and hooked up a new dishwasher and sink. His abilities go way beyond plumbing as well. Any electrical work, whether it be new circuits or main panel breakers is no problem for Don. He is reliable, personable and a valuable resource for everything from remodeling to emergency work. And, he has other specialists to recommend if needed. A true professional!

5 stars +! I called Don about my tankless gas water heater and told him the error code I was getting (C11). He suggested I contact pg&e to check the amount of gas entering my gas appliances. Genius! The gas company came out and replaced my meter. Everything runs well now! So nice that Don suggested this course of action. he saved saved me money. Honest man. Thank you!

Don did a great job for us rebuilding the insides of a Kohler one piece toilet. Instead of installing the universal equipment the plumbing store sold us he research the correct manufacturer's replacement kit and brought it to our house to install. This took an extra trip and time on his part that I do not think he even charged us for. I am not sure other plumbers would have done the same. We recommend him

Don is awesome. For a period of time last year, the shower drain in my house kept becoming clogged. One company I called said that there was a bad part of the pipe that was causing it to clog up and they would have to go into a wall and replace it. Breaking into the wall made me nervous because I live in an older house and knew that there may be lead or other chemicals from old paint and it would need to be safely contained. I decided to find a plumber who was certified in lead safety and that is how I came across Don. Somehow Don figured out that the part of the pipe that needed to be replaced was actually under the house. I was relieved to hear this but it meant that Don had to crawl under the house (in August!) and spend hours doing the repair. I give my props to him for doing this. It was a dirty, tough job. Don is kind and professional and I can't recommend him enough. I'm grateful that I found him.

I can't say enough good things about Don. I've hired him three times and in each instance his work was great, his prices were very reasonable, and he was a pleasure to work with. Most recently I had a clogged bath tub that I wasn't able to clear myself. Don came on time and fixed the clogged tub. He also snaked our bathroom sink and then cleaned all the mess that I had made trying to fix the tub! It was definitely above and beyond. I highly recommend Don if you need a plumber.

Don fixed a clogged pipe for us. He showed up when he said he would, and his price was less that others had asked for. He even did a little extra, and also diagramed our system for us. He was courteous, patient, professional and knowledgeable. I would hire him again.

I wanted to hire him again, but the price he quoted was far in excess of a competitor. Plus, he said we needed work that three other companies said was not needed. I think the first job was the bait. Or maybe he was just having a bad patch the second time.

I'm a little late on this review. I've had Don over here twice; once to rooter my upstairs bathroom, and once to complete a hot water heater install. I had started the install myself, thinking I could do it. It got to be 4 in the afternoon, realized I was in over my head, and called Don, pretty panicked. He saved the day! He was in the middle of a job, but came over right after he was done, and worked until 11pm that night, completing the job. I give high marks on his workmanship. He had all the parts he needed on his truck. The new water heater works great! And he told me what I needed to do to stay in compliance with current regs. Highly recommended. Fair prices.

Don has done work for me on a couple of occasions. His communication is good, very prompt and is very reasonable on prices. I have nothing but good experiences in my dealings. Don Rose Plumbing is A++++!

Awesome all the way.

Don has done a simple repair for me (that really, I shouldn't have even had to call someone for - I just didn't see how the pieces unscrewed) that he didn't even charge me for!

From that uber-fantastic (and honest) experience, I've also called him out to fix a stubborn clog that took him two visits to resolve. He didn't charge more for the 2nd visit, since it was the very next day and was obviously the same issue. Again, I really appreciate that kind of ethical business behavior.

I then wanted to replace my decrepit water heater which was in a closet in the smack-middle in my house. If it were leak at all, my all-wood-floor house would be in major trouble. Don had the great idea of replacing it with a tankless water heater which would reside on one of the outside walls. Brilliant! It would be out of my house which made me super happy and it also opened up the space for a much-needed 'stuff' closet.

This one-man business got my old heater out, my new heater in, the City dealt with (all those permits), my new pipes rigged up and he even dealt with my old asbestos-y ones in the attic! Truly a great job!

He offered me a great deal, did a great job and was really fun to talk to. No complaints here. Simply RECOMMEND.

Two thumbs up, way up, for Don.

While Don professes to be primarily a plumber, he did a large remodel for me a few years ago. His workmanship and attention to detail went way beyond my expectations. Little things that I hadn't considered during design were routinely figured out and fixed or improved on by Don. I trusted Don to be in my home for the duration, and never ever worried about having a stranger in my house. The final project came in on budget, with the highest quality.
