Recommended Customer Reviews

Naturally our AC broke down on the hottest day of the year (101).....Ron came out to service it. He was prompt, professional & wonderful. He went the extra mile to make sure we were up & running the same day. We highly recommend

Flo pro was there for me to fix a bad ""handy man"" job. Not only are they quick to respond they are well priced. They also contacted me a couple of weeks after to double check on the job before they closed the ticket. I highly recommend them for any related project you have, I know I will continue to use them in the future.

My furnace went out and my friend referred Flo Pro to me. They came out and got my furnace turned back on within an hour and the price was very resonable . I highly recommend Flo Pro!

They only do services on Wednesdays in Santa Fe. We scheduled an appointment in one and half months. We waited the whole timeframe and no one should up until 20 minutes later. We had to leave for a doctors appointment right after the timeframe. We called 20 minutes before the end of the timeframe, to see if they're coming late. We called the office, no one answered, so we left a voicemail. The guy called me 20 minutes after and said they were outside. If they had my number, why didn't they call me to inform me they were running late. Don't get service here. Go somewhere else.

We arrived home after an extended trip, knowing we had a broken kitchen faucet. I made arrangements with D&J to do the install. Rachel, in the office, was very helpful in getting us a timely install. Isaiah called before he arrived. He was very professional and efficient in getting the job done. He did everything he could to ensure we were completely satisfied. I would have no hesitation to call D&J again for another job.

We were recommended from Lowes for the installation of a water softener system. The plumber showed up for the evaluation, spent 15 minutes whining that he was not provided 36 sq ft of work space by the builder of the new home, another 15 minutes arguing that there was not a recirculating line until we had to point it out to him, another 5 minutes arguing about a recirculating pump that was recommended by the home inspector, builder, warranty provider and another plumber. Not worth the time, we could only imagine the quality of work if we hired them if we had to argue issues out of our control for someone that whined their way out of money. We found another to do the work for same less money and no headache.

D & J picked up and installed a dishwasher I purchased from Lowes, and fixed a leaking bathtub pipe. I was called the day before to confirm the appointed. They called on the way to my appointment. Arrived on time. Were very courteous. Worked very efficiently. High quality work all the way around.

Had a water heater installed on March 15th, 2020 D&J is who Lowe's contracted.
Worst experience ever no response, has not passed inspection. Inspector was in disbelieve this was done by a supposedly licensed plumber, not to mention the water heater is leaning to one side and turns off everytime tenants use A/C. Today is June 13, 2020 and we're yet to get the problem resolved or a call back from D&J. Tenants have seeked a lawyer..Don't blame them this is their lives at risk as it is natural gas..so I say to anyone who needs a plumber this isn't a company I would recommend when its putting your families lives at risk!! I wouldn't even rate them a one star but Yelp requires it.
BEWARE!!

D & J recently installed my new stove, sink, faucet and dishwasher when I contracted through Lowe's to update my kitchen. Christine, the secretary, either answered the phone immediately or when I had to leave a voice mail returned my call promptly. She was also extremely helpful in dealing with the Lowe's coordinator. The crew was busy on another job the day my new cabinets were installed, so John, the owner, came to install my dishwasher. They're good people, a small business, and for anyone wanting to give their business to a locally-owned company, I highly recommend them.

Horrible experience! Had no choice with this as Lowe's picked the installer when I bought a dishwasher. The installer, Kris Chavez (from D&J) did the work. All looked fine when he left. I then proceeded to fill the dishwasher. While I was closing the door, I heard the sound of metal crunching. When I closed the door completely, the bottom metal sheet fell out. Looked like it had never been installed. Kris came out and immediately accused me of kicking in the plate. He claimed he never makes mistakes and refused to repair his damage. He became extremely angry and continued to yell that this was all my fault. There was clearly a problem with the install and D&J did nothing to fix the damage. I called them twice and they never returned my calls. I contacted Lowes and they will replace the plate, but I will not have this company (D&J) in my home. Lowes will have to find someone else to do the repair. Why is Lowes using such a horrible company to do their installs? And, why use an installer with obvious anger issues. I won't buy from Lowes again and I will NEVER use D&J. Horrible experience.
