Dennis5/5

This was a full Repipe with copper pipe. A repipe is a messy job. These guys controlled the demolition, installation and patching excellently. Yes, there is dust.

Great tech!

Thank you!

Mack1/5

Dr. Piper did my repipe 9.5 years ago and yesterday they would not honor my lifetime warranty to fix a leak that happened this weekend. This company used to be great when Radi was there but now he is at Repipe On Time Inc. Pex & Copper Repipe Specialist. He showed up in under an hour when I texted him. Go with Repipe On Time and ask for Radi. He will earn your business.

We’re sorry to hear about the situation, but we need to clarify the facts so other homeowners are not misled.
The work performed at your home in 2017 was not completed as an official Doctor Piper project. The individual you referenced handled that job independently, collected payment directly, and did not process the project through our company, contract, or accounting system. As such, Doctor Piper was not involved in, paid for, or responsible for that work.
That individual is no longer affiliated with our company, and we ended that relationship due to concerns including unauthorized side jobs and failure to properly support customers after completion.
It is also important to point out that the same individual who originally performed the work—and is being recommended in this review—is the one who returned to address the recent leak and charged separately for that repair. This further confirms that the job and any follow-up service were handled entirely outside of Doctor Piper.
Because we were not contracted and did not receive payment, we are not able to provide warranty coverage, reimbursement, or accept liability for that independent work or any related damages. Responsibility rests with the party who performed the work and was paid directly.
When you contacted us, we still responded promptly and were willing to assist. However, it is important to distinguish between verified Doctor Piper projects and work performed independently using our name without authorization.
Doctor Piper stands fully behind all properly contracted projects, and we take pride in honoring our warranties and delivering consistent, high-quality workmanship.
If you would like a professional inspection or help moving forward, we remain available.
— Doctor Piper, Inc.

Leigh5/5

We had a truly pleasant experience working with Malden through Dr. Piper. Their quote was not only the most affordable, but they were also able to complete the job the quickest. We had a few minor requests along the way that other companies wanted to charge hundreds of dollars extra for, but Malden honored their original quote without any hassle. The work was done smoothly and professionally, with no fuss at all. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish. They were always accommodating, patient, and happy to answer our questions. Any time we reached out, they were extremely responsive and helpful. Overall, we couldn’t be more satisfied and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and honest service.

Renee5/5

We had to re-plumb our entire house due to mulitple leaks and Dr Piper's crew was outstanding. Fast, effecient, friendly and neat. Malden was excellent at explaining everything they were doing and how long it would take. They made it so we were able to function in our home for the 4 days it took to re-plumb. I would highly recommend their company and pricing was fair for the extensive job they did. Thank you!
