Verified record
Downey Plumbing & Heating, Inc. has worked out of Hanover for decades — the company states 39 years of experience on its Angi listing, and its written reviews there describe routine plumbing and heating work, water heaters, faucet and fixture repairs, dating from 2007 and 2008. That written record is strong on the work itself: reviewers describe the company diagnosing problems other plumbers missed, showing up fast, and finishing jobs cleanly and on schedule. In a 2007 review, one customer called an indirect water heater installation "a perfect job," with the site left clean and maintenance advice included. Pricing communication comes up more than once in that same written history — a few 2007 reviewers said the cost wasn't discussed until after the job was done, and one called it "a bit pricey." Angi's listing states the company doesn't offer free estimates. With the written record this dated, it's worth confirming current pricing and scheduling directly before booking.

Dan was very thorough and identified the real problem, which other plumbers had missed. This saved us a lot of water damage and aggravation in the long run. He was great to work with and we look forward to working with him again in the future.
They came to inspect the work site and clearly explained to me what would be required to complete the job. They were all professional in attitude and appearance. I got my quote in the time frame promised and the job started as expected. They left the area clean and explained everything I needed to know about my new indirect water heater. They have me great advice on how to maintain my plumbing and my septic system. They did a perfect job!
Very good. Very fast and efficient.
Downey Plumbing was great - they took care of the problem in under 30 minutes. If I had one area for improvement (not a complaint) it's that I wish I'd had a ballpark figure before the work was started. A quote I got over the phone from another plumber was cheaper, but I thought Downey was going to give an estimate prior to work being done. It wasn't a big job, so they took care of it right then, but it ended up being $40 more than the other estimate. That doesn't mean the other plumber wouldn't have charged the same amount or more, I just wish I had done a better job in managing the project on my end.
Very professional, friendly, and affordable. Did excellent work, on-time, and under budget.
