James Cook is a second-gen Master Plumber. Not long ago, he and his wife arrived in Durango on New Year’s Eve, amidst a snowstorm, with a baby, a toddler, and no help. Seems a bit nuts? If you love this place, you get it. Creating a family in Durango was a goal the Cooks were committed to making happen. Jump ahead to summer 2022, after a challenging three years in Durango…
After overseeing jobs from Purgatory to Farmington and Mancos to Bayfield, James recognized that La Plata County has a scarcity of Colorado Certified Master Plumbers for common plumbing needs: repairs, upgrades, improvements, and new installations. Thanks to VIP, you have the chance to hire a Master Certified Plumber in Durango for your future residential or small business project.

Recommended Customer Reviews

A Plumbing Service that actually answers their phone. Rare when trying to get someone to come out and look at your plumbing issue.
VIP Plumbing was very courteous and helpful. Have crossed all other plumbing services off the list and will only contact VIP Plumbing in the future.

I had a huge water leak spring out from under my sink one evening and after I got the water valves turned off and I dried off, I called James at 9pm. I was fully expecting to be told they were booked for the weeks following. He was friendly, helpful, and true to his word, came with his partner Robert the very next morning to assess the problem and give me an estimate. They were professional, replaced all the damaged pipes and parts in less than 2 hours, and the charge was exceptionally reasonable. They even advised me who to call to dry out the flooded interior and the exterior walls to prevent a mold issue.
I've never had such competent, friendly, and speedy service in all my years of living in a 65year-old home. Believe me, I've had my share of inept, local trades people working to fix various ""old house issues"" since the mid-'80s. Dont hesitate to call them. Youll be very satisfied with their work!

VIP Plumbing came to my house when I requested estimates from them for several projects I wanted done. Unbeknownst to me, they charge $100 for an estimate. I've had several estimates done by other companies because I own rental property. Not one of those other companies charged for an estimate. In addition, although the owner claims to be a master plumber, I wasn't impressed by his knowledge. Stay away from this company!

This business installed a new $1,300 water softener for me, and aside from the labor, they charged me $3,500 for the softener. When questioned about the $2,200 difference, I was told is was actually for their master plumber expertise, but their warranty, their insurance, the fact that they actually had to pay more than the retail price from their supplier, the salt that they put into the softener, and on and on..
In conclusion, the owner advised me that the State of Colorado Plumber's Board has given him the right to charge whatever he wants for his services, just like a doctor.
