      DRF plumbers installed my new toilet when another company wasn't available on my schedule. Every DRF team member I dealt with was professional and kind - ***** and ****** talked me through the process and scheduled my installation, the finance person (***?) called to confirm before charging my credit card, and ******* and ****, the plumbers, installed the new toilet, hauled away the old, and kept my home clean throughout their visit. The service I received was more than I expected and much better than other contractors I've worked with.

      Five star service all around! The plumber arrived right on time, assessed the problem and had it sorted out in no time. Professional, reliable and left the area cleaner than they found it. Highly recommend this company for any plumbing needs.

      BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE! I wish I had read the reviews here first as well, I was charged $3100 dollars for a power vent water heater to be installed, which started with Lowes. DRF will not provide you with a written estimate or breakdown of charges only the "package price" so that they are able to easily over charge you. The current price of the 40 gallon power vent water heater at Lowes is $1200, so labor and installation, haul away, was $1900. I should have thought about it a bit longer and cancelled the job but I did not, shame on me. This company has a **** rating on here and many complaints filed against them with the Better Business Bureau. DRF got me this time, but they and Lowes never will again, I hope this review will help someone else and save them from overpaying. Find a local plumber in you area and use them instead. This company is a total ripoff!!

      Thank you for your feedback. As ****** authorized installer, we utilize licensed plumbers and require that all local codes be closely followed. The package pricing quoted includes the water heater, delivery, installation by a licensed plumbing contractor, and haul-away of the old heater. The installation contract is between you and ******, and you accepted the price quote in advance of work commencing. We do offer a 1 Year Best Value Price Guarantee, so if youre able to send us a lower quote for identical services, we will refund the difference.

      DOES NOT CARE ABOUT REPEAT CUSTOMERS! A week before the ******* flooding in July 2023, I set up an appointment. My guest bathroom was leaking water into the condo below and causing damage. It needed repaired quickly. Waited a week for the appointment. On the night before the appointment I missed a call from DRF. Called back and they said I was still on schedule. The morning of the appointment (A weekday where I took off work!) they cancelled on me. Despite being a repeat customer, having an appointment for a week, and a leak that was causing water damage, apparently I wasnt as important as the profitable flood customers. They said I couldnt have an appointment for another 3 weeks. Manager talked to the Bosses and said it was coming from the top.If you want a company who doesnt care about repeat business, doesnt give a c*** (pun intended) about their customers, or keeping their word or appointments, is only interested in chasing the bigger buck, then go to this crappy place. WILL NEVER CALL BACK AGAIN and I WILL TELL OTHERS!

      Went through Lowes for a water heater replacement, DRF apparently is the contractors they go through. Got my quote of $2,117.51 to replace my old water heater from **** as it just doesn't give hot water like it used to anymore. Was scheduled today, 6/5/2023, and told I would get 3 phone calls; 1 to confirm my appointment today, 1 from tech to give an estimated arrival time, 1 last call from tech for they are 30 minutes away and heading my direction. I had to call them directly twice, first time got no answer regarding if I'm even verified on the appointment book today. The second time they still had no new information for me but did inform I was scheduled. Told them I'll give them 15 minutes to find out an approximate time because if I'm spending $2,117.51 I expect communication and customer service to be on par with that price. They called 20 minutes later saying they can't even get ahold of the tech who is supposed to be the one calling me. So I cancelled my appointment. I immediately got a phone call from a DRF representative who was beyond unprofessional, mocking me, laughing at me, cutting me off, etc. I had to literally scream at the top of my lungs on the phone just to shut this representative up and say cancel my appointment and then I laid into him telling him before ending with a final "go f*** yourself". I would rate 0 out of infinite stars if I could.

      BUYER BEWARE -DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ. Purchased a new hot water heater from DRF thru *****. Boxes and signs in ***** stated same day service if purchase is completed by noon of the same day. I got everything completed by noon but was first told by DRF dispatcher that I missed the deadline and would have to wait until the next day. I corrected her and demanded same day service as advertised. She stated that tech in our area was swamped and that I had to wait until the next day. If you advertise a service you had better be able to deliver. Very disappointed, definitely do not recommend.

      This company knowingly installed the incorrect water heater and after placing it did not finish connecting all the opponents specifically the vent to the exhaust from carbon monoxide, with that being said I had a carbon monoxide leak cause the fire department and gas company to come out during the visit they quickly acknowledge where the leak was coming from and shut off my gas. So know I have no gas also no heat in my home Im the only working parent and I have 3 little kids after paying **** this was the result and Im trying my best to see what I can do about the situation

      I purchased a water heater thru ********** to replace a leaking water heater. On the first visit the installer indicated an issue with the wiring. Understandable I had a new wire run for the water heater. The second visit the water heater was installed and the plumber from DFR stated I would need a metal cover on the power running to the water heater. When the inspector arrived, he only stated a robber grommet was required to protect the wire from the metal cover on the water heater. I called DFR 4 times to have their installer install the required grommet. They scheduled and canceled 3 times. DFR claims it was an electrical issue, on the call I offered to take pictures to show the concern and explain what was required. Only on the 4 and last call did the agent from DFR accepted the pictures. DFR still canceled the 3rd visit to correct the issue. Due to the lost time of 3 canceled visit to install the rubber grommet as required I am giving DFR 1 star. If DFR had the made good on the issue after receiving the failed inspection report it would be a 5 star. I had to hire someone else to install the rubber grommet DFR refused to install.
