Both times I've gone with McDonald Plumbing have been great. Great price, quick and professional work, and great communication to make sure they've got it done the way you want it done. Recently had them out to redo the water supplies and drains in a bathroom remodel and they were done in a day with an impressive amount of high quality work.

Report
I was very pleased with McDonald Plumbing's quick response to fixing a leaky toilet as well as fixing a bathroom faucet and shower faucet. "Brandon" and "Sean" called me about 20 minutes prior to our scheduled appointment to let me know they were on their way. They were very professional and quickly completed the needed work in a timely manner. I was surprised they had a brand-new replacement toilet on their truck! I highly recommend McDonald Plumbing!

Report
A leak was discovered at the main shut off valve at my mother-in-law's house. Fortunately her neighbor was able to stop the leak (tenuous at best) and I was called to take care of it. As this was city water and I had seen their trucks and crew around, for years really, I called McDonald Plumbing. Mr. McDonald came out the next day and with a very professional yet courteous demeanor, explained to me what had to be done.
I agreed. A day later ( I couldn't be there) their crew came out, dug a deep hole in the front yard, ran a new pipe to the basement and installed a new shut off valve. My mother-in-law is quite elderly and holds high expectations and was absolutely delighted with the whole process and end result! Not to mention the very reasonable cost. I will recommend them any time.

McDonald Plumbing gave us a fair quote and they were knowledgeable in what needed to be completed in our basement laundry room. They had a reasonable schedule, showed up on time, and completed the work in a very timely matter. Would definitely recommend! Service: Plumbing pipe repair
