Excellent job!! We asked them to replace our 16-year-old water heater. As you can see in the photo, the piping on the old tank was a complete mess. The piping on the new tank installed by Trey from Joseph Rose Plumbing is pure precision craftsmanship! Right after the installation, we had hot water instantly, and the whole family was thrilled. Their pricing was also very competitive, and the quality of workmanship was absolutely 5-star. If we ever have another plumbing issue, JRP will be our first call. If you need a water heater replacement or any plumbing work, don't hesitate to choose JRP! read more

Joseph Rose Plumbing - Old Water Heater- mess! - Plumbing Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I contacted Joseph Rose plumbing in Durham, North Carolina about three plumbing problems I was having. They scheduled to come by my house at 1 PM on Monday. By about 1:45 they had not arrived. I called the company, but no one answered. I left a phone message. I was called back in a couple of hours and, and the secretary/scheduler informed me that the job they were on was taking longer than expected. She then asked me if they could reschedule for tomorrow. I stated that that was not convenient for me. I finally relented and agreed to meet them on Tuesday. If I recall, the one technician was about 30-45 minutes late. She informed me that she had not been told about fixing the lack of shower hot water or about cleaning the mold out of our faucets but had only been told about cleaning the water heater! She arrived and started to flush the water heater. She then informed me that her new water pump that she needed for that job was defective and kept tripping the circuit breaker. She asked me if she could come back the next day at 8:30 AM! This was early for me in terms of usually sleeping longer, but I agreed in order to get the ordeal finished. She came with a young helper, and they completed the work. Rose appeared to be competent and, furthermore, she communicated well with me which was an appreciated change from her handler/scheduler. She and I talked about the benefit of the whole house water filter. She stated that she would get some information and send a proposal. That never happened. As you can gather, there are two significant problems with Joseph Rose plumbing, according to my experience with them. One is the absence of adequate and efficient communication, and the other is a lack of follow-up on what they say they will do. read more

Well, I have to say, Ethan at Joseph Rose Plumbing has really done right by us. We had a miscommunication at the onset, and after clearing up the details, I am truly pleased with the commitment to excellent customer service and satisfaction that they have exhibited. I am sure that if you hire them, they will take care of the job and do so in a professional and considerate manner. Nobody is perfect in this world, but you are fortunate when you find someone that will stand behind their word and who is willing to make a concerted effort to take care of their customer. Joseph Rose Plumbing has done so for my family, and I am happy to recommend their services. read more

Great service at a reasonable cost. They did a great job and I will be using them again.

Did quality work for me but ghosted me after contacting the company for an additional job.

Joseph Rose Plumbing is our go-to company for all things plumbing. Fair prices and excellent work. They replaced our main home shutoff valve a while back and a hard-to-get-to gate valve for our new dishwasher just recently. Highly recommended! read more

Good experience. Willing to negotiate (within reason), installed a new water heater the next day. I could tell he knew what he was doing which these days is getting pretty rare. Job looks professionally executed. Be advised he is a one man show so don't expect any immediate response when contacting. But I would say better a slow response from a good outfit than a speedy response from a bad one. read more

They removed an aging hot water heater from our attic and installed a tankless model outside the house. The work was completed quickly and there were no cost overages. They protected the floors from the attic all the way to our front door with plastic sheeting, and vacuumed to remove debris after the work was done. No upsell. No cost overages. Highly recommend. read more

I chose this company because of the reviews posted on Yelp. My experience with this company was excellent! I had the pleasure to work with Ethan, who diagnosed the problems with the plumbing and quickly worked to restore it. He was very thorough and explained in detail what needed to be done, and kept me updated through every step of the process. I will most definitely use this company again when I need plumbing repairs. Best experience in awhile! Choose them, you won't be disappointed!! read more

This is a revised review from my review from 12/8/2024. Joseph Rose Plumbing contacted me and was able to remedy the problem I had to my satisfaction. I would use them again if I had a plumbing issue since they do excellent work. read more

I have used their services multiple times, and the are responsive, friendly, and careful with my home. I highly recommend them. And they have referrals. read more

Called with no pressure from new water heater. Ethan arrived same day and in LESS THAN AN HOUR had identified and repaired an obscure issue with an errant check valve, rebuilt a cartridge for an old lav faucet (we have 6# 42-year Delta faucets in the home, and the 2 I've rebuilt took at least an hour), fixed a leaking T&P fitting on the heater and created the invoice - absolutely AMAZING! And it gets better... he did ALL that for less than $225 including the service call. But wait, he wasn't only efficient and effective... he had STELLAR people skills. This is exactly the way the trades should be done!!! read more

Quick, efficient, and responsive. Did a great jobs replacing our old toilet. Scheduled through yelp.

My my my I can't say it enough how pleased I am from the service provided by Joseph Rose Plumbing, specially Ethan! He really made the entire process from start to finish east to follow and helped provide tips and tricks to make the life of my water heater last longer. He also helped me with the lining beneath the water heater to prevent water from seeping into my walls. Back story: my old water heater started leaking and I noticed that there was also mold starting to grow around my water heater on the wall. I was in a panic because I didn't know how I could take care of all the tasks at once but Ethan from Joseph Plumbing was able to get the job done and now I'm a happy camper with some hot water just in time for the season. Looking forward to this new chapter with my newly installed water heater I highly recommend Joseph Rose Plumbing, trust me when I say you will be so happy. They definitely have future service with me. read more

I called Joseph Rose and spoke with Ethan who was super professional and helpful. I had an issue with a toilet in my T-Mobile store and I was told they could be out the next day. Not even 10 minutes later Ethan informed me that they could actually make it our same day. Carcamo came by a few hours later and did a fantastic job repairing our toilet leak. Great price, great responsive team, great business! I will definitely be using them for my future services. read more

We have had great experience with Joseph Rose Plumbing on multiple occasions. They first replaced a 10 year old water heater that suddenly burst. Super fast response and great work. While they were over we had them look at some issues we were having with our bathtub so they came by later that week to take care of that. Really glad we found these folks and happy to work with them again. read more

Ethan and Diego fixed my garbage disposal in 5 min. True professionals! Being available during evenings and weekends is definitely a plus for busy 9-5 people. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent same day service. My well pressure tank switch went out and pipes froze leaving me with no water on Christmas. Ethan from Joseph Rose Plumbing returned my email right away and was at my house a few hours later (The only response I received after calling 10 plumbers). He inspected all of the plumbing, water pressure tank, and the well and then diagnosed the problem and replaced a burnt out pressure switch. Excellent communication, pricing, and customer service. I highly recommend this young man and Joseph Rose Plumbing. read more

These guys are great. They show up on time and are very knowledgeable. I would recommend them without reservation. I needed two toilets installed after replacing some flooring and they were great and reasonable. I had a pipe break on my pool return and instead of calling a pool plumber called Ethan and they fixed my broken pipe/ read more

A bunch of faucets quit working, and since the temperature had just dropped to 8 degrees, we figured they'd frozen. These folks picked up the phone at 9:30am on Christmas Eve and were here by 10:45. They inspected the pipes, found nothing was burst, charged an entirely reasonable service fee, and gave us a couple tips to help them warm up a bit more quickly. Quick, easy, knowledgeable, and friendly. I'm calling them next time I have a problem. read more

So responsive when we needed a new water heater fast and very thorough work to make sure we were getting the best setup and hardware for our situation. Ethan was very patient with all my questions and took the time to fix a lot of problems left by the previous install. Would definitely recommend! read more

Awesome communication about getting our appointment set up. Then their technician let us know he was on the way. He took care of the issue installing a new spigot. Highly recommend. read more

Ethan responded very quickly within 10 minutes. He is an expert on all everything. He came over and fixed 4 different problems within 2 hours, one of which he had to us a 100 feet electric snake. Ethan truly cares about his customers. He also offered 10% discount for the new customers. Price reference: $175/hour labor cost read more

I did get a text response within an hour. However, after scheduling to come to my home the following day, no one called, texted, or showed up for the appointment. I texted to find out what was happening but never received a reply. read more

I can't say enough good things about Joseph Rose plumbing - these guys are the best! We were in the process of selling our home and someone touring our house noticed our water heater was leaking. We were out of the country when we received this news, but knew we needed to address the issue immediately. I contacted Joseph Rose based off the Google and Yelp reviews I read and am so relieved I did so. They came out the next day and installed a new water heater for us. Their communication throughout the entire process and attention to detail are second to none. Their prices are extremely fair too. I have since called them out to take care of two separate issues in my home and have received the same top-notch care each time. Can't recommend these guys enough!! read more

2 weeks ago we decided to FINALLY add a new fridge water line, and got a few quotes and recommendations. Joseph Rose responded to my quote request online quickly, and we schedule a stop by for a quote for our project. Though there was a small miscommunication as to when they were able to come out - it ended up fine and they were able to come out the next day. They quickly looked at our layout, laid out the options, and sent along a quote a few hours later. They ended up having the best and very reasonable quote, and the quickest response time so we easily accepted the quote online and scheduled a time to come out which ended up being just a few days later. I also liked that they texted to keep us up to date as to when their technicians would be out etc. They did come about an hour past the scheduled time, but in these scenarios I know appointments can run long and it's sometimes hard to be exact so that didn't bother us and I think is pretty par for the course. The guy came in, was friendly, considerate, communicated well, and got the new water line added (which involved drilling a few holes, and uninstalling and reinstalling our dishwasher) quickly, efficiently and left no trace of dust/debris when done. Even moved our fridge and hooked it up and tested it. It's been a few days and the water line is great, no issues, AND they warranty their work for a year, so i'm not worried if on the off chance something needs to be adjusted. Definitely recommend them for your plumbing needs. read more

When our shower head pipe broke off behind the wall, we got no answer and no callback for days from two previously trusted plumbers. Then I found Joseph Rose's great reviews online. I was shocked when someone picked up the phone late on a Saturday afternoon and scheduled a plumber for that Tuesday. (It wasn't an emergency.) Ethan was able to fix the problem in less than 1/2 hour without cutting into the wall, which we had expected. He also added some missing caulking and even replaced our shower head with one he had in his truck, all within the one-hour labor cost. And he couldn't have been more pleasant or helpful. Note: We did have to wait 4 hours from the scheduled arrival time, but he called to tell us he had an emergency job and asked if we wanted him to show up in the evening or the next day. We chose the evening. Of course, we weren't happy about the extra wait. But afterwards, we realized we'd rather wait a few hours for an excellent plumber who responds quickly to emergency calls. That could be us someday! read more

We are so grateful to the folks at Joseph Rose Plumbing. We came back from Christmas out of town to find a spigot was broken and gushing water. I called him at 4 pm and he came out by 6:30 and had the problem solved by 8 pm (new spigot). There was no extra charge for an emergency fee either. He was professional and enthusiastic about his job. In talking to him, I learned that he is just starting out his own business after being an apprentice and working for other local companies. The man wants to work! Please consider using him and giving this entrepreneur a boost, he will come evenings, weekends and holidays as he strives to build his brand. He told me he really enjoys helping people-and it shows in his attitude and work ethic. Our spigot works perfectly and I sleep better at night, knowing we will have no more surprises. Thank you thank you! read more

Bought an old house that needed a ton of repairs - sinks installed, showers worked on, toilets, spouts... basically everything and anything plumbing related we needed. Ethan with Joseph Rose responded quickly, gave us a free estimate, and his pricing was also the best priced from multiple estimates. Organized, efficient, communicative, professional and honest. Can't really ask for anything more. Felt very safe with him alone as a woman too which is very important too. Great service - highly recommended read more

He is very very professional and helpful. Knowledgable and willing to not nickle and dime you. Great guy!

Not only he answered the phone, not a machine. He responded to my panic of my whole Hse water being off due voto a disaster in a shower valve. Joseph not only provided the proper cartridge, his craftsmanship and offers of other services while here was unforgettable. I'm glad he left a few business cards. I am going to recommend him to family and neighbors. read more

My plumber of 25 years passed away and I was at a loss as to how to find a replacement for someone who was almost like family. Luckily, I saw the great reviews posted for Joseph Rose Plumbing and I gave them a call. They came the next day to replace a house water filter and fix a broken faucet. They were friendly, polite and efficient. They listened closely and agreed to send me a reminder when my filter is next due for replacement. The invoice was emailed and payment made online. The whole process was easy and pleasant. I highly recommend Joseph Rose Plumbing for any plumbing needs. I will certainly call them again when needed. read more

I had a great experience with Joseph Rose Plumbing.Our 2 water heaters needed to be serviced or replaced and they were very knowledgable and helpful to me in making the decision. The water heaters were serviced and reset in just a couple of hours and are chugging along nicely now. No upselling andI saved money by not replacing them. I will definitely call Joseph Rose Plumbing again when the need arises. read more

Eathan was very responsive and got the work done very efficiently! They are great! Got work done the very next day!

I found my water heater didn't work when I was back to town, and I tried to call a water heater service provider, but no further response on my case. Then I submitted a query online to Joseph Rose, Ethan responded my question almost in two minutes, and my problem is fixed in the same day! I am really expressed by the quick response and professional services provided by Ethan. He explained the structure and principle of water heater to me in details, and provided several tips and tricks for water heater daily usages. High recommend Joseph Rose Plumbing! A great team with high quality services. read more

I have had Ethan (owner of company) out twice in the past 8 months. Both times were for leaks in old pipes and each occurred on the weekend. He is very quick to respond--only a few minutes, and immediately scheduled us for a same day appointment and was here in a few hours. The leak in my pipe in the yard was a very complex job. He was very thorough and identified the source of the leak through the use of underground camera. The replacement of the broken section of pipe was also intensive, requiring two men hand digging down to the pipe, so as not to cut any utility lines. The second repair were leaks in my ceiling, and toilet. He not only does the repair, but looks around to see if there are other pipes which may also soon spring a leak through signs of wear. In addition to being very knowledgeable and able to fix any plumbing problem, he is available 24/7 it seems. He never even takes a break while he is working. In addition, he is throughly likable and a great communicator. Once you call him, you will never use another plumber. In this case, the all 5 star Yelp reviews are totally on target. read more

I requested an estimate through yelp to replace a water valve. Ethan was very responsive, arrived on time, made the repair and fixed a few other things that he found to need replacement. I needed a new kitchen faucet and he even went to Lowes, picked up the part and replaced that. I'm very pleased with the service and knowledge and highly recommend! read more

Rose plumbing showed up on time, and they replaced the Gas water heater located in the attic. They were clean, efficient, and finished in a timely fashion. i'd recommend Joseph Rose Plumbing for your plumbing repairs. read more

Joseph Rose plumbing provided excellent service at a fair price. I had another company come out prior ( as they would not quote anything over the phone not even ballpark figures) and give me a bid that was ridiculously high. No way would I go with them so I paid them the $92 service call to tell me they were a joke, though that $92 would have gone towards the job had I been foolish enough to accept it. JRP quoted a price over the phone which was $300 less than the previous company. Joseph Rose Plumbing was clean, conscientious and thorough and they saved me a boatload of money. I highly recommend them! read more

We had a new vanity installed in our second bath and a kitchen drain cleared out. Got friendly professional service and most importantly good communication. read more
