Plumbing reviews in Denver, Colorado

after having my sewer installed, i ran into a big plumbing problem because of mistakes made by a previous company. even though they tried to fix it, my bathroom still didn’t have any cold water, and after several calls and waiting for weeks, nothing got resolved. i finally called richard & sons plumbing & hvac, and they sent todd out to my house first thing the next morning, even though it was a saturday. todd was friendly, professional, and really knew what he was doing. he fixed part of the issue right away and explained clearly what else needed to be done to get everything working perfectly. the pricing was reasonable, and i felt like i was in good hands the whole time. the customer service was top-notch, and i really appreciated how quickly they responded compared to my past experience. even though i had to pay extra to fix what the other company left behind, i’d much rather trust these folks to handle my plumbing needs. from now on, i’ll be calling them for any future plumbing or hvac work. i highly recommend their services to anyone needing a reliable plumber.

We live in an older house in Denver, and while most of the plumbing has been updated, the original sewer drain line was still in place. Recently, I noticed signs that the sewer line might be clogged again. I tried to contact our previous plumber but couldn’t reach them, so I called Richard & Sons Plumbing & HVAC. They got back to me quickly and set up an appointment that same afternoon. Louis arrived right on time and was very professional. He made sure to protect the plants near the drain cleanout before starting work, which I really appreciated. He clearly knew how to handle the older cast iron pipes in our home, and worked patiently to clear the full length of the drain line. Throughout the process, he explained what he was doing and answered all my questions about possible replacement options for the future. I’m very happy with the fast response and the careful service. I’ll definitely reach out to them again when it’s time to upgrade the drain line.

I called early Friday morning after realizing I didn’t have any hot water in my Denver home. The company answered right away and quickly sent out a plumber. They gave me a fair quote for the service, which I agreed to. The plumber, Evan, arrived right on time and got straight to work. He discovered that the water heater’s ignitor had melted, so he replaced it, cleaned the burner, and made sure the air screen was clear. I was impressed with how knowledgeable and friendly Evan was—he explained everything in simple terms and didn’t try to upsell me. He reassured me that my water heater was still in good shape and that this was a common issue due to normal wear and tear. I found this company through the manufacturer’s website and saw lots of great reviews online. Evan showed up in a clean company van and was very professional. I’ll definitely call them again for other plumbing projects, like replacing my toilet or updating my shower. Don’t waste your time with anyone else—these plumbers really know their stuff!

I had a gas leak in the pipes outside my house that were connected to the outdoor grill and pool heater. I called Richard & Sons Plumbing & HVAC after finding their number online. Jay answered my call right away, which showed how responsive they are. They scheduled a visit for the same day and kept me updated about when someone would arrive, even letting me know when they were on the way. There was no charge for checking out the problem and giving an estimate, which I really appreciated since plumbing repairs can get expensive and I was trying to stick to a budget. Once the estimate was given, the actual repair was set up for the next day. Todd came out for the repair and he was very thorough, professional, and polite. He did a fantastic job fixing the issue. Afterwards, when the gas inspector came to check for leaks, everything was safe and the leak was completely gone. If you need a reliable plumber who does quality work at a fair price, I highly recommend giving them a call.

i had a really great experience with the plumbing team. i called late on a friday afternoon because my main line was backed up. i figured i'd have to wait until the next day, but in less than half an hour, louis arrived in a bright van and got started right away. he was very professional and took his time to figure out what was going on. turns out i had two separate clogs—one in the main line and another in a secondary drain. louis fixed both issues using his plumbing auger tools, even working in a super tight spot behind my washing machine in our small downstairs utility closet. the whole time, louis was friendly and respectful. after he finished, we tested all the faucets and toilets to make sure everything was working perfectly. he gave me a detailed bill showing all the work he did, and the price was fair, especially considering he worked hard for over an hour. i highly recommend their plumbing services to anyone.

I recently bought a house in Denver and needed some plumbing work done, so I reached out to Richard & Sons Plumbing & HVAC. I’m really happy I chose them and will definitely call them for any plumbing issues in the future. Their prices were better than other places I checked, and they didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t actually need. Evan came out and helped move our hot water heater so we could get some basement work done. He also ran a new water line for a refrigerator that hadn’t been delivered yet. After our fridge arrived, Evan came back and connected everything so now we have cold water and ice. He did great work and also took the time to explain some plumbing basics about our new home. It’s clear they care about quality and making sure the customer understands what’s going on. I feel lucky to have found a company with such knowledgeable plumbers.

Here's your revised customer feedback, following all your requirements: I had a great experience with Richard & Sons Plumbing & HVAC. Plumber Evan was very friendly and took the time to explain exactly what he was going to do before running new water lines from our old outdoor faucet in the shop to a new one at the back of our townhome. Once he finished, he walked me through everything again so I felt comfortable with the work. I’m also looking forward to having Louis come by soon to check out our AC and heating unit. He already helped me out when I had some questions – he even called the office and got everything set up for me. The office staff was very helpful too. We also just got a new outdoor AC unit installed, and the crew who handled the removal and installation did a fantastic and speedy job. I really appreciate the professionalism and quality of service I received throughout the whole process. Highly recommend for plumbing or HVAC needs in Denver!

We had an excellent experience with this plumbing team. If you need any plumbing work done, I highly recommend them. We recently found a leaking pipe in our home and called them after regular business hours—they picked up right away and sent someone out first thing the next morning. Evan and Todd were our plumbers. They were friendly, professional, and really knew their stuff. They fixed our plumbing issue faster than we expected and the final cost was even lower than we thought it would be. Their workmanship was top-notch, and they even took care of a loose door handle they noticed while they were here—talk about going the extra mile! It's rare to find a plumbing company you can truly trust these days, but these folks are honest, reliable, and really care about doing quality work. The service was affordable and exceptional.

I reached out to Richard & Sons Plumbing & HVAC on a Friday about a leak under the kitchen sink. It wasn't an urgent problem, but I wanted to get it fixed soon. They scheduled a visit for Monday between 11am and 2pm. Before arriving, I got a helpful call letting me know they were about 20 minutes away, which made it easier for me to arrange things with the tenants in the unit. Louis showed up right in the scheduled window, around 12:20. After checking things out, he called me to explain the issues he found—there was a jammed garbage disposal and a pipe with a leak. He told me exactly what it would cost to fix each problem, and the pricing was straightforward and fair. Louis offered to do the repairs right then and there, and finished up in what felt like less than half an hour. He even called afterward to confirm everything was done and let me know the garbage disposal was working again. The customer service was top-notch from start to finish. They responded quickly, scheduled the appointment fast, and kept me updated throughout the whole process. Everyone was friendly, professional, on time, and honest about the pricing. I really appreciate the quality of work and clear communication. From now on, this is the team I’ll call for any plumbing needs in Denver. I highly recommend them!

We had a great experience with Applewood Plumbing. Curtis helped us identify the root issue of why our heating & crown boiler mysteriously stopped working. Instead of just telling us to replace the entire system, which we couldn't afford, he identified that we actually had other blockages and failures which could be fixed/ replaced that would allow us to keep the crown boiler. He was very kind and extremely informative! Very happy customers.

John showed up on time was very professional walked me through what he was going to do. We discussed other issues going on made the decision to stick with the original plan. He took care of it right away very quickly no messes and he was done! I highly recommend Applewood. They’re very professional. I’m just all around really good people!

Showed up early was totally on his game. Had everything he needed on the truck, which is how you guys roll. And I love that about you. Got it Knocked out within a 1 an hour start to finish so I could get to work on time. Completely professional, very knowledgeable. Great personality. Super nice guy did a great job. Would recommend to anyone with his experience that he has a lot
Of in all aspects of the job

Damian, of Applewood PHE, performed a highly professional, work precision job, based on the informative information received from his analysis of the furnace in my home. Damian was very clear on identifying and explaining the issue of the noise I was hearing from my furnace and other issues of concern. He was knowledgeable on the work that would improve the furnace, cost of parts and the options of payment for the work entailed (wearing covers for his shoes and cleaning the work area). Damian was GREAT!! My furnace is working beautifully. Thanks Applewood for having such a knowledgeable and personable employee.

On time, quality work. Worked through any problems we had efficiently and to my satisfaction. Would definitely want him again on any other Applewood projects I have in the future along
with the team he assembled. Was on time as promised and finished ahead of schedule.

He was very timely extremely knowledgeable and nice. I really felt weird having to call someone to like my furnace, but he made me feel fine like it was a normal procedure. Really appreciated him. Would definitely definitely use this company again.

Greg is personable, knowledgeable, and very experienced. He was precise in his work and thorough in his explanations. He was careful with my property and did a thorough job of cleaning up before he left. I am very pleased with his work replacing a toilet and sink and adding a water flow regulator that that I didn't know I needed until he explained the potential consequences of not having one

Monty did an excellent job fixing our shower drain. He was punctual, professional, and explained everything clearly before getting started. The repair was done quickly and thoroughly, and the shower now drains better than it has in years. We really appreciated his friendly attitude and honest pricing. Highly recommend Monty for any plumbing needs!

Our furnace stopped heating the house, so we called Applewood. They came out the same day, and Daniel was right on time and did an amazing job getting everything fixed. The pricing was fair and extremely affordable, and the whole experience was honestly better than we expected. Highly recommend!

Jakob with Applewood was excellent! He came to the house on a Sunday evening to deal with a leak. He was thorough and professional and got us back up and running. We would definitely recommend him to a friend!!

I recently had a leaking, seized garbage disposal and called Applewood Plumbing Heating & Electric to replace it. Scheduling was a breeze—I got an appointment for the next day, and their call center quickly followed up to confirm the issue. They also called before the scheduled time to confirm availability and provide a more accurate arrival window, which I appreciated.

The technician, Jack, showed up right on time and was fantastic—friendly, professional, and clearly knowledgeable. He answered all my questions about the estimate, completed the install quickly, and the new disposal looks great. He also walked me through how it works and answered a few extra questions about my dishwasher line. I felt confident in his expertise and appreciated his patience and thoroughness.

The only downside was the price. I was charged $1,200 for the replacement, which is about $700 more than the national average of $300–$500 for parts and labor. Applewood explained that the higher cost includes a 10-year warranty, access to a large technician network for fast service, and their well-stocked warehouse to ensure quick resolution of issues. While those factors help justify the price, it’s still a steep premium compared to standard rates.

Overall, if you’re looking for fast, professional, high-quality service and are willing to pay for convenience and peace of mind, Applewood delivers. Just be aware that their pricing is on the high end.

• +1 star – Easy, next-day scheduling
• +1 star – Excellent communication before the appointment
• +1 star – Skilled, friendly, and professional technician
• +1 star – Quick, clean, and high-quality installation
• −1 star – $1,200 price tag, which is 2–4x the national average

We had new outlets installed in our bathrooms and new light fixtures installed in our bedrooms. The work was done quickly and without any issues.

Jacob did an amazing job. He is so knowledgeable and professional. It’s obvious that he has been in this field for a long time because of how quickly he can solve electrical issues. This is the second time we’ve specifically asked for him. If we need work again, we will ask for him again.
