Do-It-Ur-Self Plumbing & Heating Supply

Just returned from Do-​it-​Ur-​Self, with a new fantastic toilet. I had called a couple of places before i found these guys on Unilocal.I needed a new water saving toilet and was not impressed with the selection at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
! wow as soon as i got on the phone to inquire, my questions were answered by a friendly, no-​nonsense and knowledgeable person. He quickly had suggestions for water-​saving toilets in stock, and pointed me to one that allowed for a rebate. I ran over there, and they even went to the trouble to sell me the floor model of the one i picked out for a slight discount (since they didn’t have that model in stock).
I will be returning to purchase a new bath-​tub.
Also, what an amazing selection of different kinds of tubs, sinks, faucets, old and new— love the ‘bone yard’ of tubs and sinks too… after visiting overpriced ‘fancy’ showrooms with not a wide variety of choices, this place was just what i was looking for.

Great store with helpful, knowledgeable employees. They know everything about old-​house plumbing, which the big-​box stores do not. Old house plumbing issues? Go here first, they know what they’re doing.

Basin needed another part and this is the only place that has it. +1 more star for the only place in town that keeps my old school concrete basin up and running.

You’re drawn in by the «DIY» in its name, thinking it’s affordable– but quite the opposite. Yet, we’ve purchased 4 Toto toilets and an Asian cradle tub from them.
So you figure you’re paying for their customer service. But not sure about that either.
When I called and emailed photos once re. my Asian acrylic tub’s micro cracks and stains after 3 years of ownership — manager Monica looked up my info and said that b/​c I bought an overstock tub for ‘only’ $ 1000, there was no warranty, nor could she any help re. the defects.
So buyer beware.

Had an issue with my furnace and thought that it was the ignition filament. I took the filament into the store and they tested it for free and told me that the filament was working just fine. The owner spent the time to educate me on how the furnace works and gave me a couple of next steps to find a solution. He recommended that I check the rubber hose to see if there was a blockage that was causing the issue. I found that there was a small obstruction in the hose and the furnace started up on the first attempt. I just saved $ 300 by not having to call out an HVAC technician. I would recommend anyone who who is having an issue with their furnace that wants to see if there is a relatively simple solution to visit these guys. They are unique because they truly want to help and not just sell you something that you don’t need.

This is exactly what a plumbing/​hardware/​auto parts shop should be. The gentlemen here were friendly, straightforward, and most importantly – knowledgeable. They gave me solid furnace advice, didn’t try to oversell me, and I walked out with exactly what I needed. I highly recommend, and I’ll be back.

Good place to go for anything plumbing that is hard to find. Not only that, the onwers who work the parts counter are unbelievebly knowledgeable about anything plumbing. Plus it is supporting local business.

A crew of people who know their stuff and assist you into knowing yours. This staff was a huge help and didn’t make me feel like I didn’t belong. In fact, I think they treated me better because I was the only lady in the shop, as if they were impressed – they helped me in no time and made me feel like I had a right to be there – rare in a place like this. I was in and out in moments for significantly less dough than I expected. I will return if I ever need to and refer whomever I can.

Great Customer Service! Came in on a Saturday with a broken claw foot tub piece and the extremely nice worker Rick custom cut the piece and only charged me $ 10.00. I highly recommend them for any of your heating and plumbing parts. Thank you!
Brian-(not your average plumber)

Hot Diggity I do love this place. Every time I have ever come to them they have saved my bacon. None of the abodes in which I have dwelled over my many years in Denver have been brand spanking new. Thus, you will have plumbing needs of some sort.
Most recently I walked into my master bath and attempted to turn on the water in one of the sinks and the knob split apart in my hand. I immediately panicked because I was sure that Delta had discontinued this faucet and associated part eons ago. The thought of having to replace both bathroom faucets sent me into a financial turmoil. But, Do-​It-​Ur-​Self to the rescue for the umpteenth time. Yes, they had the rare faucet handle in stock, put it aside for me and for a mere $ 20 and a little sweat equity I’m back in business.
I figure they might have saved me upwards of $ 1000 if I would have had to replace both faucets (they must match after all). Thanks guys — you did it again.

Twice I’ve gone there with as little as a picture of what is going on with my 1943 fixer upper, twice I’ve left a happy camper with a minimum of cost. Each time, the same gentleman walked me through the basics of what I needed to do and what I needed to get it done. I’ll be back, as there is an endless list of what needs to be done plumbing-​wise … I know I can accomplish my ‘list’ with these guys 10 minutes away. ‘The voice of the customer’ is not lost on this establishment, they guys really understand what customer service is all about … thank you!

Some people think buying online is cheaper that buying from a business but I have to say the people at Do-​It-​Urself met nearly every online deal we found. We were able to buy from a local business and get the incredible knowledgeable help this company offers. We also could see the actual product we were buying. We have local help if we have any problems — which we have not. We bought our entire remodel from them and are elated with what we worked together to buy.

I’ve been doing business there forever, I used to drop off old aqua and pink toilets at their previous location on the north end of the property. For DIY’ers, it’s a great resource. If you need ONE part for a THIRTY year old fixture, and that ONE part saves a few HUNDRED dollars in replacement costs, a trip there is genuinely worth it. If they can’t help no one can. Robert and his staff are genuinely good guys, extra helpful, and their «boneyard» is the best in Denver.
Their showroom is pretty decent, it’s a good starting point for consumers who hope to cobble together a new bathroom that matches Their Old House.
Five Thumbs Up!

I came home to a freezing house on Christmas Eve, before any businesses were open. I called around all over town and only got one answer from an HVAC service who wanted to charge $ 400 to replace the igniter in our furnace. After doing a little research and figuring I could replace it myself, I called some supply shops in town.
Do-​It-​Ur-​Self was the only shop to answer my call, and while they were technically closed, the owner stayed open long enough for me to pick up the part, and took the time to answer my questions about the problem and made sure I had the right replacement part. All on a holiday. Will definitely be back, and I’d highly recommend them.

As I mentioned in a previous review we’re in the midst of a bathroom remodel. I also mentioned our bathroom is from the 60s and so this means our shower fixtures are a little wonky. We have the regular spout for the tub that has one hot handle and one cold handle and then that has some crazy tube that comes out of it and leads to the shower head. I don’t really know how to explain it, but it’s weird and there isn’t a ton of pressure so we wanted to get a new, more modern version that had a single hot/​cold knob and a regular shower head. We looked on Unilocal and found this place so away we went.
They have a lot of nice stuff here and while you can find reasonable prices there is a lot more pricey stuff than bargain stuff for your bathrooms and kitchens. I feel in love with about 6 tubs even though we don’t get to have a new one of those so be careful or you may walk out with more than you need. They also have quite the collection of claw foot tubs and retro toilets. I even saw one that was turquoise. Now that’s making a statement.
The people working here are so friendly and super helpful when you are looking at different options so I’d say you’d probably be fine swinging in here even if you don’t have a complete idea of what you want/​need. And they do have a bargain area that you can sometimes find quite a deal for if you look hard enough.
Now, if only this bathroom would magically tile itself…

When our heater died a few winters ago, we were screwed. We called Plumbline and opted out of being overcharged, especially since they didn’t even have the correct part to fix the problem.
My husband hopped online and found Do-​It-​Ur-​Self. He drove up, got the part we needed — with a strict warning to be extremely careful when installing the piece because it was exceptionally fragile — and guess what happened? He broke it. Oops!
With no other option, we called ahead to make sure they had a replacement, drove back up, and admitted that we didn’t listen too well and the coil had broken. The clerk gave us 20% off the replacement. What?! Uh, WOW. Talk about customer service!
They also had a couple friendly dogs to occupy my interest while hubby got the replacement part. So, even I had a good time at the plumbing store!
Definitely a gem and a great place to stop if you’re in the market for what they sell!

When we bid out our remodel, different contractors mentioned both DIY and another supplier. We are so glad we chose DIY. The quality of their products and the help we received were great. Like another reviewer said, this place can’t be compared to a big box chain. It’s like comparing the Mona Lisa to a velvet elvis. You might prefer one to the other but you can’t compare them.
We priced similar quality products with other suppliers (and found DIY to be competitive in pricing.
After finding similar pricing for similar quality, the deciding factor was the service. Mary Hill knows her stuff! We have phase two of the remodel coming soon and will go back to see Mary at DIY.
Great stuff and great service.

This place is not getting nearly enough credit for being so amazing. The two reviews this place has for 2 stars both have fantastic things to say, but then they compare it to the big box chain of Home Depot. This is not some Home-​Depot-​Wanna-​be, and if you think that then you are are going to be disappointed.
What this place IS good for is discovering hard to find parts that would normally have to be special ordered online.
My story is about my furnace. I got a quote from a very popular heating service place. They wanted charge me $ 600.00+ to change a transformer.
I found this place on google, and they said they had the part. The most important thing to remember is that if you do have a part you want replaced, bring it in so that they can match it exactly.
The part cost me $ 27.00… you do the math! fantastic people, fantastic idea, fantastic resource for denver! Love it!

These folks are exceptionally knowledgeable, and can provide helpful hints for almost any plumbing job. They have a great variety of fixtures in stock, and the sales folk really seem to know what they are talking about. In this regard, I give them 5 stars without hesitation.
However, their prices are astronomical. They are at least twice what you can find on-​line, and much higher than other home-​improvement stores selling comparable products. The only products that were in a manageable price range were very cheesy and looked like product returns (boxes already opened, instructions missing, etc.). For this reason I dropped the rating down to 2 stars.
My opinion: if you are a confident DIY’er, then stick to on-​line suppliers or the discount places like Home Depot. If you are not sure of what you are doing, then this place might be OK. But beware of their extraordinarily high prices — if you are new to DIY plumbing, you might end up paying Do It Ur Self’s high price AND a plumber to fix the job anyway.
