Daffodil Plumbing holds a 4.8-star average across 452 Google ratings. Its website names Waterbury, New Haven, Essex, Wallingford and Meriden as its service area. A customer whose hot water heater malfunctioned said technicians Kyle and Mike got the job done right. Kyle replaced a cracked toilet for a customer who said he gave options and a senior discount. Raul came over within 30 minutes of one customer's call and walked them through the issue. A customer who needed a water connection changed fast said Raul and Kyle put together the options, then the techs and a backhoe crew dug a deep trench, laid a new line from the street to the house and made the connections in time for the water department to inspect and approve them; that customer said the cost was more than they hoped. A customer said a technician quoted $1,000 to change an outside hose bib, came down to $650 and finished in 10 minutes, and called it a rip-off. A customer who paid for sewer-line snaking and camera service felt pressured to accept the quote and said the charge was more than double the average price. A customer who chose a $3,000 repair option said they felt taken advantage of, and the company offered a partial refund in response. A customer who asked for a quote to go from a single-sink to a double-sink vanity was told there was a $96 diagnostic fee to come out, and declined. Scheduling slipped for a customer whose Thursday morning toilet repair was pushed to 12–4 p.m. and then to about 6 p.m.; once the plumber arrived, that repair was quick and the final cost was about half of the original quote. A 2026 customer said about $5,500 covered a water heater disposal and installation, a main valve replacement, an auto shutoff valve and a thermal tank expansion. A 2025 customer said the company replaced their bathroom tub and shower, and that Raul worked to finish before the Fourth of July holiday. A 2025 customer said the company quoted $1,300 for a job another plumber did for $566. In a 2024 review, a customer said the company missed a first appointment and then arrived at 9:30 for an 8:30 slot the next day, and the customer asked him to leave.
great job unclogging a drain and diagnosing the problem. They worked hard for a long time to get the job done.
Daffodil plumbing was able to diagnose effectively, complete the work in a timely manner, and were very kind, reasonable, and genuine. There are many, and I mean MANY contractors in Connecticut that will diagnose things that are not wrong on purpose in order to rip you off, this is not one of those companies. They are family owned and honest.
Kyle was friendly, respectful and efficient. He arrived as scheduled. He explained the task before beginning to work. The result is a big improvement over the faucet I had before.
Absolutely do not hire this company. Technician was friendly and knowledgeable, but ripped me off. He came to my house in a timely manner and identified the problem immediately, then offered me a solution that was $1,000, to change my outside hose bib. I was under the impression it was going to be a hard job, and sections of pipe were to be replaced, so I "haggled" him down to $650. He was done with the job in 10 minutes. If I would have known that he wasn't going to replace any kind of pipes or anything like that, I would have just done it myself and paid the $96 dispatch fee. This company is a scam, do not hire them! EVER!
Excellent service from Kyle replacing a cracked toilet. Gave us options and a senior discount.
