Affordable Plumbing Services, Inc.

I contacted Duane based on his Unilocal and Angie’s List reviews. However, I had a totally different experience. He turned out to be the nightmare I didn’t want, in the first place. He is very unprofessional. He came to my house to give me an estimate. First, I had to ask him to take his shoes off as he was getting ready to walk on my carpet that I had just paid over $ 500 to clean. The good folks I usually hire, make it a point to either take their shoes off or cover them up.
We got up early on a holiday weekend to meet with him and everything. He gave us an estimate and set up an appointment to come out do the work 10 days later. Then, I called and left him a message as another toilet had broke and needed to see how it would impact the estimate. He never called me back until I actually called him again. Mind you the same had happened when I called to set up the estimate appointment. These are red flags I should not have ignored.
The day Duane was supposed to come out and do the work, he was a NO SHOW. I changed my scheduled and worked from home that day and he had the nerve to not show up. We had to wait 10 days with non-​working toilets and he didn’t even show up. I called him to find out if he planned on showing up and I got his voice mail box again, as always. He called me back later and left a message with some lame excuse. In case you didn’t realize Duane, we are people with important jobs and we do not have time for your shenanigans! As a matter of fact no one does. Have respect for human beings. Period!
I, then, decided to do my homework and talked to several other plumbing companies. I found out that I would have been a bad investment to replace just the parts in these toilet as the brand had been discontinue due to its low quality and that even finding the parts would have been an issue. Geez… maybe that’s why Mr. Duane decide to be a NO SHOW. I don’t know. and I don’t even care.
I finally decided to invest in some great Toto toilets and the awesome plumber I ended up hiring made some really good money. The guy showed up the same day! He will be my plumber for life.
As for you Duane, you and your wrench can go have several seats!

I have used Duane and Affordable Plumbing a few times over the past 10 years. Everything from my shower making a high pitched noise to a clogged toilet to looking for a lost diamond in the drain. He is always prompt, courteous, professional and clean. I love the fact that the workers dress in a way that you don’t have to worry about walking in the room and seeing their backside exposed…

I’ve had Duane at Affordable Plumbing Services to my home on several occasions over the last five years: sump pump install, water damage to wall/​carpet, toilet install, sink/​drain issues. Each time he has been very professional, courteous and respectful of my home and time. He listens and fixes my problems. He is also quick to help over the phone if it’s a DIY project question and for a guy like me, the un-​handy-​man, having him as a trusted resource to help in my plumbing needs is comforting. I highly recommend him.

I have found my plumber! Thanks to a friend’s recommendation, I contacted Affordable Plumbing (and Duane) for a bad kitchen drain blockage. He was at my place the next day, on time (and called to let me know where he was because of traffic). Extremely knowledgeable about his craft, courteous, clean and thorough. Clog was gone in less than an hour, and he was very reasonably priced. I can very comfortably say that this is a fantastic plumber and very much worth your consideration when you need someone honest, thorough and trustworthy.

Our water bill had doubled in the past year, so I called 5 plumbers to give estimates to replace the water line. Duane showed up on time, returned phone calls promptly and came up with the most viable and straightforward solution. The work took him and his friendly crew less than 2 days and came in under estimate. The charges were slightly lower than the average estimate. We know we will call him again if we have more plumbing needs.

No more flipping through the yellow pages choosing a random plumber! Affordable plumbing services is prompt, friendly, experienced, and easy to work with. They installed a couple under sink water filtration systems for me and did a great job. They kept my kitchen clean, worked quickly and efficiently and were honest with pricing.
