Davinroy Services

Warning to anyone that is considering hiring Al Davinroy… This is the worst plumber in the Metro East. In addition to being very rude to my wife/​family, here’s a list of things that he did:
1. He took three days to do a job that another plumber told me should have taken no longer than five hours AND he attempted to charge us more than triple what another plumber told us the price should have been.
2. Part of his list of duties was to reconnect the water line to the dishwasher after new granite was installed. He failed to do so and attempted to blame the granite installers (who aren’t allowed to reconnect a water line). As a result, when we turned on the dishwasher the ceiling below was flooded and thousands of dollars of damage occurred.
3. His truck wasn’t adequately supplied, so he made at least six trips to the store (which he billed us for) to get basic materials that, according to another plumber that saw the work, should have been on his truck. Additionally, he kept asking my family to assist him in doing his work (weird).
4. While re-​configuring the plumbing under our kitchen sink he mistakenly cut into our drywall. The other plumber said that he should have had a basic tool that would have enabled him to avoid this error. Again, this cost us a lot of money.
5. According to multiple sources, his work was not done to code.
There were other issues, but the bottom line is that I wouldn’t want anyone to make the same mistake that we made. Please avoid him at all costs.
