Dave Blair Plumbing

I had been using Blair Plumbing for years. Their work was fine. Then last month they snaked a kitchen sink and also sealed a leak from the same sink. last week, both the sink backed up again and the leak returned. I texted the son, Kenny the following note:
«morning Kenny. This is Lee.
our kitchen sink is still blocked. and it’s leaking still underneath into the lower cabinet. both of these items were recent repairs by you.
how did you want to take care of this?»
I expected a polite professional response saying he’d have to look at it and tell me whether it’s a redo or new work. I was fine with either as I had always trusted him. this is the response I got back: (I’ve replaced letters with filler symbols for obvious reasons!)
«Go F^*~ yourself»
I was shocked. I thought maybe he was joking.
I called the father Dave (super nice guy) and he laughed and said he apologized and would look into it. still no follow up.
I wouldn’t allow anyone from Blair Plumbing onto my property ever again. it was shocking and a bit scary. what a shame. someone has obviously suffered a stroke or had a brain aneurism with a response like that! A cautionary tale for all interested!

I called Dave on good recommendation from a friend. He was great on the phone — answered right away and was very accommodating to fit my job in the same day. Unfortunately the two guys who showed up were incredibly unprofessional. I asked them if they could please park their van in the designated area nearby (after I had gone to the trouble to get them a parking permit), and they very dismissively told me no, they don’t have time — the one guy had an doctors appointment to get to. Great, so you know what, then DON’T BOOK MY APPT if you don’t have adequate time to do the job! I should have sent them away right then. It was a super simple job, and yet they argued with each other about EVERTHING. Seriously, it was like I had two of the three Stooges sitting on my kitchen floor bickering like children about which valve to shut off and which piece of hardware to use. All in all, I think the work was good (I certainly hope) but I’m severely disappointed in their professionalism and I will not be calling these guys again.

My wife and I found Dave Blair plumbing last July. We have been so pleased with their work, we keep having them back to do more work for us. They installed a new fault, instant hot water tap and sprayer the first time.
The next time they cleaned out the drain and cleared it out on the same day we called them. A plugged up sewage line was the next call and again they did a fine job cleaning out the roots.
And again today they replaced our toilet with a new one in less than one half an hour and it looks great! They even took away the old device at no charge Home Depot wanted twice as much and also were going to charge us for the haul away.
Be patient and give them a try, if you can’t make contact the first time, try again you will find out nice it is to work whit these people.

The best! Not only were they on time and reasonable in pricing they did excellent work. I was very pleased they called me in advance to meet me at my place so I was able to work. Great group of men. Thanks Dave Blair plumbing

Customer Service? Called Water Heater manufacturer directly (after) wish I would have called them before.

I am SO happy and relieved to finally find plumbers who are honest, good at what they do, and whose charges are reasonable. I have a big olé’ house and have had bad experiences with four or five different plumbers — some had no idea what they were doing, some ripped me off with unnecessary work, and all were absurdly expensive. Dave Blair is a different breed. Old fashioned, family-​run small business. Can’t say enough good things about them. They’re my plumbers for life now!

Honest and reliable. I have called them more than once and am always satisfied.

We live in the Playa Vista community of Los Angeles. After several unsuccessful, incomplete and exorbitant bids from other plumbers, we discovered Dave Blair Plumbing. Not only did he NOT charge us for a diagnostic visit, but his price was ¹⁄₃ that of the other two bids. He arrived as scheduled and his technicians were polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Their work was flawless.
We’d highly recommend them to anyone on the westside of Los Angeles.

I’ve had my share of plumbers out to our place for a variety of reasons, but I was hoping to find one that was a bit more reliable. After reading some very promising non-​Yelp reviews online, I called them up to have someone look at a shower drain that had slowed considerably.
I got through right away to someone who immediately booked an appointment for the following morning. The same evening I got a phone call from the plumber confirming the appointment & location. I had asked that they arrive by 7:15 a.m., a request that usually means that I get a phone call at 7:30 saying they’re stuck in traffic and will try to be there by 8 a.m. However, the phone rang the next morning even before the appointment time, and I was greeted by a very courteous & professional plumber who fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes. He even told me how to avoid future occurrences, which might seem bad for business but is exactly the sort of thing that will insure I call them again.
The price charged was higher than some other companies, but I think it was worth it (assuming the problem does not reappear in a few weeks).
