Daniel’s Plumbing Service

Daniel’s Plumbing is reliable and trustworthy. You can trust that the plumber will get right to the problem without wasting time.

Good people. Solved several plumbing issues at my rental properties. Didn’t charge me extra for a weekend call. Can’t say enough good things about them.

My EXCELLENT experience with Daniels Plumbing Service was so GREAT I figured it was best I post a review and hopefully help out someone else who is in need of a GREAT plumber who really cares and can get it done! When the plumber got here, he was very thorough with an explanation and recommendations to get my problems solved in a hurry. The experience and knowledge was obvious the minute he started explaining why our back up is happening. I was also very impressed with the awesome tools they have to allow for several repair options. I was very confident that I was in good hands, unlike other plumbers I have dealt with in the past. Thank You Daniels Plumbing for providing a GREAT service in the Sarasota community! Your rates are fair and your service is second to none!

Reliable and on time. Eddy has been working with us through our kitchen and bath remodel. We are very happy with the service and the friendly office staff who has been very patient with our scheduling needs.

Sunday morning is the worst time to discover that you have a leak in your bathroom pipes. Within the hour, Justin from Daniels was here to graciously and effectively handle the problem.

Just had Daniels plumbing come to my house. We had a possible leak in the wax seal under the toilet. In 1 hr the toilet was out and back on. Not only did they replace the seal but the plastic flange had a crack in it and they had to take a saw and remove replace it along with seal and toilet. they, are professional and the price is right. They came when I asked these are the plumbers I will call when ever, I have a problem. I would recommend them.

Daniels plumbing is the worst. They tried to charge me driving time to get a part. They are a ripoff. They wanted $ 96 a hour to drive to the plumbing store. The owner is arrogant disrespectful. You do not want to do business with this company. They will overcharge and under deliver stay away. !!!

I have dealt with Daniel’s Plumbing for four years, and have paid them almost $ 4,000 for services during that time. I’ve found them very responsive and thorough, if somewhat pricey. But on a couple of occasions the workmanship left something to be desired.
My latest concern was a new wax gasket they placed on my toilet, along with an extender flange to ensure a better fit. It cost almost $ 200 with labor. That was two years ago this month. Then, recently, my wife noticed it was leaking around the base again. We decided to let them replace our 15-​year-​old water heater (another $ 600) and asked about the toilet. Dan wanted me to replace the toilet with a newer model, but I didn’t have the money after the water heater. I just wanted the repair they made two years before to be made good (I’ve had wax seals last 10 – 15 years under normal circumstances).
He had his wife call to discuss it (she apparently handles all of the financial matters). She offered to «discount» the new toilet to only $ 305, plus parts and labor for installation (the last toilet I had bought from them was only $ 235, but they added $ 260 — more than double the toilet price — for parts and labor!). I could buy the same toilet, with the wax seal, from Home Depot for $ 248. I also stated that their estimates of installation were always low, and my last toilet cost much more to install than estimated (and you pay what they charge, not what they «estimate»). She responded that there must have been some problem. There wasn’t. It was a straightforward installation in a large bathroom with easy access. No tiny WC.
Since she claimed labor should be only $ 100, I offered to buy the new toilet for a flat $ 400 installed (that would be $ 248 for the toilet — the Home Depot price — and $ 152 for the new supply and labor). She said she’d «talk with Dan,» which obviously was code for «Fuhgeddaboudit!»
So I asked about having them replace the seal they put in two years before at no charge. She told me it was warranted only for a year, so I was out of luck.
And it has been several weeks and no response on my offer to buy the new toilet … and my old one, which they poorly repaired, still leaks.
I’ve paid them a lot of money in only a few years. I expect them to stand behind their work 100%. And, if they want to upsell me something because of their poor workmanship, I expect more consideration than a «discounted» price $ 57 MORE than I would pay at Home Depot. And I’m tired of being gouged for labor costs when they estimate half that time on a job.
They may be the best in Sarasota — I don’t know. But they have lost a loyal customer because of their cavalier attitude about my concerns … and their heavy-​handedness on pricing.
UPDATE: I had a construction friend recommend another plumber, Gallo Plumbing Service, to repair or replace my toilet. This very professional outfit came in, removed the toilet and found that Daniel’s had improperly serviced the toilet earlier. Apparently, Daniel’s does not like Toto toilets, so they say they’re impossible to maintain and steer customers to other brands they sell. Yet the new plumber replaced some critical parts in the lower part of the toilet where it attaches to the drain (and which should have been done when Daniel’s serviced it), and it has worked flawless ever since (now more than 18 months). It cost a little over $ 100 … less than I had paid Daniel’s to «fix» it earlier. I’ve changed my Daniel’s rating to only one star, and will write another review for Gallo that gives them five stars. Gallo is top notch in my book!

A big thank you to Daniel and his team for their great customer service.
They quickly came to my condo in Sarasota and solved the problem and stood by their word. A mistake had occurred during the set up and then handled it.
Not only did they send the technician, I also received a call from Dan himself saying that they would make sure the job is complete and working. I would highly recommend them.
