Plumbing reviews in Des Moines, Iowa

Gas leak repair took multiple trips and a month to locate and fix. Maybe firm is ok for water plumbing issues but not versed in natural gas issues.

At the property I manage we use AJ Plumbing for minor repairs to larger ones on our commercial water heaters. The plumbers are knowledgeable, and the the work done promptly. Highly recommend!

They only allow 5 stars otherwise, I’d have given them 10.
Very reliable, prompt, and accommodating. Management that sees greatness in their employees and employees who provide great service to their customers !
You won’t want to do your business elsewhere.

With AJ plumbing company, they have only one person to do handyman work. He is a very overweight gentleman who sweats profusely, and sounds like he’s struggling going up and down stairs. He has come into my home worked on my plumbing, left a very large mass, water everywhere, and if I had not been standing there watching, he would’ve grabbed anything handy to wipe up the water so I can’t see it. He didn’t try to wipe up any water until I said something about it. Water was everywhere. I had to call him back to fix the same problem at which he said he repaired what he did and he broke the handle off of the valve to turn the water off And on and said that he would charge me $150 to repair it. I told him to get out of my house. I had to call him twice to get him back up to the house and he kept telling me he forgot about the appointment. These people are horrible repairs and I heard from other people as well that they had used them and they would never go back to them as well. Use at your own risk.

I hired AJ Plumbing to replace a water heater. The plumber was on time and got everything installed without major issue. Part of the contract was to remove the old water heater and dispose of it. It has been sitting in my backyard for almost a week, which looks fantastic. I've left countless messages on both the business line and the plumbers cell phone. Now the mailbox is full. I've also been shot into voicemail after 2 rings. DO NOT HIRE!

A very nice guy, Tyler, came out twice. A faucet replacement and hooking up gas stove. He was fast and professional! I would get him again👍

I called Tue am and spoke to a
Woman, very professional, told our hot water heater had quit working. She gave me a price said she would try to get someone out today,. She called me back didn't think it would be until tomorrow morning. She made sure we were taking of a man Tyler came out that might and installed it
He was professional and did a great job. I would recommend them. Professional, and great price.

My husband called to ask how much a service call was and was told $60. We scheduled them to come as he had a water leak in the ceiling. When they got there, 3 people showed up. The plumber, the person taking the money and person in training.
I was then told it was $250 to do a diagnostic. Scam No. 1! A service call was suppose to be $60. I already know I have a water issue, I don’t need someone to tell me that. I hired them to come and tell me what the problem is.
So they take the toilet off and find the issue. Then the lady, not the plumber tells me I have 4 options to fix this. Very confused I said, “4 options?” She proceeded to tell me about 4 different packages I could purchase. The platinum one being almost $1,000 and comes with a bunch of stuff I don’t need. I asked her, “How much is it to just fix the problem they found?” She said that would be covered in the bronze package at $450. So I was forced into buying a package and not just time and material. Scam No. 2!
After the plumber (who was great) fixed the initial problem, we found out there was a secondary issue. I asked him how koch it would be to fix (The other lady had left at this point) He proceeded to tell me I had 4 options to for fixing the problem. I told him enough with the packages, I just wanted to know how much for material and his time. He said since I had already bought a package, we could switch to time and material. Scam No. 3!

I have never had a service company try to sell packages and put each individual issue in a box. At that point, I was already in the $250 for diagnostics, which they covington waived when I picked a package.

I had other contractors there working on a separate issue and was very frazzled. In retrospect, I should have just asked them to leave when they changed the &”$60 service fee to a $250 diagnostic fee.

The plumber was great but their business model sucks!!! I would never recommend them and would highly encourage everyone to steer clear!!!!!

(Incident on 4/24/25 @ 7am, HWY5) this dude tailgates and drives erratically at 80+mph -and while pulling his dinky trailer on thin bicycle wheels, swaying dangerously behind him. Absolutely no regard for others safety.

I wouldnt let this dude touch my toilet.

Best plumbing shop in iowa

Spoke with Janilla, great company to work with.

Great place. They know there stuff!

Quick response time. Excellent work, with very reasonable prices.

Loved working with them, fast and easy along with doing great work. Would recommend to everybody.

Delivered a load here. Quick unload, no hassle, nice place. The owners are good people.. thank you.

I will never use this company again and will tell everyone i know not to use them either. They started a bathroom rough in for a new bathroom and decided not to come back and finish, on top of that after i paid them they cancelled their permit. Bud is owner and not to be trusted, his word means nothing. The office lady Janilla is very unprofessional and argumentative, i have the email conversations to prove it. I wouldn't even give them one Star but i had to mark something. What was supposed to be a simple job has turned into a nightmare.

These men got pulled into a bad situation, and still made it possible for us to move in on time! They fixed several mistakes of our rough in plumber, worked efficiently and neatly, treated other contractors and each other with respect, and most importantly saved my new house from extensive damage! A good plumber is hard to find- but look no further!

Work was good but when the plumber tells you no charge because the piece they put in was defective, I don't expect to receive an invoice for the work a few days later. And not only did I receive an invoice it is not itemized as to labor and parts and the invoice contains wrong informatione. Not a trustworthy company.

Did the job, knew what they were doing. Very pleasant to work with from the people in the office to the plumber & his trainee.

Not the first time and won't be the last . Bobs retired but his son Steve has taken over the business and hasent missed a beat. His knowledge of the work that needs to be done is outstanding and his prices are more than fair. I would almost tell you that you would be stupid going with anyone else. There the BEST 😎. Thanks Steve great job and tell your dad to enjoy retirement.

Really good people!! Great attitude. Fast & not too expensive. Will definitely keep them in my contacts and recommend Steve to everyone I know!! First local business I actually feel are 💯. No bs just real people!!!!
