Repipe Specialists - Denver

Horrible customer service, after initial walk through, signing contract with a $1,200 deposit. They messed up 2 physical copies of the contract, was left a voicemail asking to confirm through text message a 3rd contract. After giving a call to David R. to discuss this issue, he told me he'd call me back that evening so the wife and I could decide how we wanted to move forward, during this call he said if we decided not to move forward he'd cancel contract and send back deposit. He never called, 3 days later we called to let him know after the problems with contract, and now leaving us hanging on the phone call we'd just like the deposit back and we'd move in another direction. Was told we'd receive an email that day canceling contract and a returned deposit within the week. Still no email or return of deposit. All in all I found it originally just unprofessional, now I've added bad business to the list.

We had our 71 year old galvanized pipes replaced with PEX. If you're looking for a company that listens to all your concerns and answers all your questions, and does a quality job...look no further!

Thanks to Bill , Don, Cheyenne, Johnny, Ully, Remey, Brandon and Chris we had a very positive and stressless experience! We would highly recommend Repipe Specialists for any of your replacement needs!

Repiping my house, needed with the original defective polybutylene piping, was a smooth process with Repipe Specialists. During the estimate appointment, the process was clearly explained, and I was able to have the work done within a few weeks after the appointment. Both the plumbing crew and drywall repatching crew were competent, courteous, and careful to clean up.
Project cost was fair, and financing with no interest made payment very doable.
I highly recommend Repipe Specialists for repiping!

Re-pipe specialists did a fantastic replacing my pipes, they were corroded and leaking and had low water volume, now it's great, I love it, don't hesitate to call them if you have piping problem!

I wish I would have read these reviews before I signed a contract with this company. I've had a horrible experience. I didn't realize that this is simply a promotional company that sends out a sales manager to give you a quote and get you to sign a contract. Then, you get scheduled with a plumbing subcontractor that does the work but there is a lot of communication that gets lost in the transfer. I was clear about planning this work as part of remodeling my main floor bathroom, kitchen and my basement bathroom-utility room combo. When Don, the Repipe rep, came out I clearly communicated this. What he failed to communicate to me was that in order to bring everything up to code I would need additional plumbing work done in order to pass the inspection. I only found out this information later from Bill, the plumbing manager, AFTER I had already signed a contract for the repiping and the sizable deposit had been charged to my financing account that I applied to through Repipe Specialists. This meant that I would be paying an additional $3-4K out of pocket for other plumbing work. I won't take the time to narrate here everything that has transpired, but I will say that Don has been pushy, rude, and extremely condescending. Do not do business with this company. Find a local, knowledgeable plumber to do your Repipe. If I could have cancelled the job with this company and worked directly with Bill, I believe everything would have gone much more smoothly.

Admittedly, this company didn't do any actual work for us, but my experience with the sales guy Don was pretty awful.

When Don came to my house to provide an estimate, I immediately didn't like him. He was argumentative, he talked too much, he was condescending.

We ultimately hired another plumber for our repiping. That decision was in part in response to Don's pushy sales tactics. Unfortunately, the other plumber made a mess of the job and about halfway through it became apparent that he needed to be replaced. So I contacted Don. I figured I could ignore pushy sales tactics if the work quality was good.

He brought out his buddy Bill to review the work that was done. He emphasized repeatedly that they couldn't salvage any of the first plumber's work and that it would all have to be redone. I told them repeatedly that's exactly what I wanted to do because I didn't have any confidence in the first plumber's work anyways. Bill and Don advised me to make a clean break with the old plumber so as to avoid any legal issues before scheduling work with Repiping Specialists.

While I was waiting for the City to cancel the permit under the first plumber, I thought I'd check in with Don to get a better sense of how Repiping Specialists went about laying Pex. I didn't want to end up with the same mess. I had very few, but specific questions: Do you use 90-degree L fittings or corner brackets? Do you connect lines via a manifold? Do you map out the lines before beginning work? After getting burned by the last plumber, I wanted to make sure I was doing my due diligence. I explained all of this to Don.

Don didn't seem to understand the purpose of my questions. He complained that I wanted ""very specific answers to not very specific questions."" Huh? He seemed annoyed with my questions.

In addition, he was constantly hinting at the possibility of the job being significantly more costly than was originally quoted. Finally, I asked him outright why there would be an increase in cost? He said the price change was because they would have to pull out all the Pex that was placed by the first plumber. Huh? Wouldn't you have to do that anyway? No, we would just abandon the old copper. Well, can't you just abandon the old Pex? Honestly, I can rip it out myself in about an hour.

At this point, Don became very hostile. He accused me of being ""difficult"" and said he didn't want to do business with me. I explained again that I was just doing my due diligence so to avoid another mess and that I didn't understand why the price would change. I explained that I had been burned and was more cautious as a result. But all of my explanations were wasted on Don.

I am a naturally curious person who asks questions for clarification, but it seems in this case, my questions were not welcome and were even found to be threatening. I'm not sure why, though I suspect it has something to do with my gender.

Unfortunately, I still have need of a plumber. This would've been a $9,000 job.

Our 1949 Park Hill home still had its galvanized plumbing when we bought it last year, and while nothing had failed yet we knew it was time to replace it before it did. We reached out to Repipe Specialists who provided a -very- reasonable quote (well below other estimates, nearly a third of the cost of one estimate we received from one of the 'big name' plumbing companies!), and were quick to get us on the schedule. Don was really friendly, answered all of our questions, and was not pushy or overly salesy, which put us at ease.

The crew (Johnny and Chris) showed up right on time, worked fast, cleaned up well, were friendly and answered all of my plumbing questions, and got the job done within a day (around 8 hours from start to finish!). While this obviously necessitated cutting many, many holes in our plaster (on gypsum board) walls Chris did his best to save as many pieces as possible to patch them (we did not use their patching service as we're lucky to have a friend who does this professionally, but that quote was also reasonable). The plumbing passed code inspection by the city of Denver, and works great - our water pressure is improved and we're no longer worried about our pipes catastrophically meeting their demise (and flooding our house).

The crew also replaced our old shower valve with a new Kohler one, and went to the trouble of replacing the trim kit for us as well (which I had already purchased ahead of time), which was a nice touch.

All in all, we were very happy with our experience with Repipe Specialists and would be happy to work with them in the future if we ever have another home that needs this sort of work. Thank you!

Yesterday I gave these guys one star in my review but I have since revised it due to our interaction today. First, you should know that RePipe Specialists is a sales organization, and they subcontract the actual plumbing work to another company. We contracted with RePipe Specialists to replace polybutylene piping in our home. The repiping was done by their subcontractor in two days which was great, but we were somewhat unhappy with the way the subcontractor did some of the terminations (the water heater and toilet terminations were making it hard for our drywaller to repair the drywall). But these problems were easy to fix, so I called Don (the sales guy at RePipe who signed the contract) and asked him to send someone to fix the problems. A week ago someone from the subcontractor came to the house and agreed that the issues we had were legitimate and agreed to fix them. Then, yesterday, he came back to the house and refused to fix all but one of our issues (he didn't even bring tools needed to so the repairs). In addition he made snarky comments about our home, implying that the value of the home just wasn't worth the trouble to get the plumbing right. Because he refused to fix all the issues, our drywaller was unable to complete his work. In frustration I called Don at RePipe and I also called the subcontractor's office, but neither seemed to want to deal with the problems. Because RePipe Specialists and the subcontractor are not the same company I felt like both were trying to blame the other. There was no one I could talk to who would say ""the buck stops here"". I was angry that both organizations were seemingly not willing to stand by their work, and so I wrote a terrible review. That was yesterday. Today, though, Bill (the supervisor at the subcontractor) came to our house and he fixed all the problems. According to my partner who interacted with him, Bill was very helpful and actually went above and beyond, helping us with additional concerns. Our drywallers are now able to complete their patching, and we are back on track. I really wish RePipe and their subcontractor had been so helpful from the start, it would have saved us much emotion and frustration. Had they helped us this much in the first place and I'd have given them 5 stars. In the end, we are happy with their work, I just wish it hadn't been so hard to get there.

I already had one pipe start leaking on me. In which I had to replace. So I figured I look into repiping my house, because my House is over 65 years old And lord knows when the rest would go. I called Repipe just to get an estimate on what it would be to replace my whole system. Best price I received. When the day came. The plumbing crew was great. The lead plumber went over every detail with Me. They were in and out in one day!

My home had the old galvanized pipes, built in 1958. I'd mostly noticed water color issues, water pressure hadn't been too bad. Once the new PEX pipes were installed though, I didn't realize how much water pressure I was missing, particularly in the master shower! They subcontract out to other plumbing companies, but I was very pleased with the work and the workers - they know what they are doing and are friendly. The best part was getting an option to run the lines through the floor of my one level ranch with a crawlspace instead of going back through the walls. Inspector came out and approved with no issues at all. Drywallers were here they next day. There were 2 spots they couldn't fix due to the old pipes sticking out/the toilets being in the way, but I'll deal with those later and overall the patching was done nicely as well. Definitely no complaints about the service from beginning to end. Every one was communicative, friendly, helpful and did a great job. Thanks team!
